Ye Fan squatted there and ignored him. He stared at the gravel for a long time and suddenly realized what was going on. He secretly cursed Rong Xiang Stone Gambling House for being shameless.
What he had learned from the Book of Source Heaven was correct. This stone gambling house was the one that was faked. These Source Stones had been cut open and the Source inside was taken away. Then, they were filled with stone and sealed with a secret technique.
"Swindling merchants!" He was furious. Rong Xiang Stone Gambling House was too much.
He wanted to make a scene, but he held it in. Even if he said it, not many people would believe him. Moreover, those who dared to open stone gambling houses in the Northern Region had a certain background. They had the support of powerful forces.
If he exposed them like this, even if they bowed their heads on the spot, they would probably take revenge later. He didn't care and could just leave. However, it would be bad if he implicated the stone stronghold.
"It seems like I have to learn the Heaven and Earth Changing Technique from the Book of Source Heaven as soon as possible. In that case, I won't have to worry about anything anymore. I'll be a fish in the sea and a bird in the sky," he said to himself.
"Forget it if you don't want to gamble. Go back to where you came from." The young master from the Qingxia Sect glanced at him.
"Of course I want to gamble. Why not?" Ye Fan suddenly stood up.
Next, he carefully selected the stones and examined them carefully. As expected, he found a dozen fake Source Stones.
The method of counterfeiting was very clever. Even if one observed carefully, it was difficult to distinguish them. If not for the Book of Source Heaven, which was almost natural, it would be difficult to find out.
In the end, he chose an ugly stone that was as big as a grown man's head. It was gray and had crisscrossing cracks on it.
The strangest thing was that these cracks were similar to the shape of a human's mouth. It looked like it had been bitten by some ancient creature.
When Ye Fan picked up this stone, it immediately caused a burst of laughter.
"Little brother, do you know anything about Source Stones? This is obviously a useless stone. Hurry up and change to another one. "Beside him, a kind old man reminded him.
"It would be strange if this stone could have Source Stones. It's obviously exhausted and nothing will be left."
"This is a 'Ghost Splitter Stone'. Its entire body is covered in cracks. It's said that it was gnawed on by a primordial 'Origin Ghost', so it's impossible for an Origin to be left behind."
"That's right, this is the famous' Ghost Splitter Stone '. It was thrown here to make up the numbers, so it's impossible for it to come out."
Everyone shook their heads. Many people sneered at him, thinking that Ye Fan didn't understand Origin Stones at all and only knew how to dig for them in the mines.
Wang Shu immediately became nervous. Dumbo whispered, "Brother Ye, let's change to another piece."
"There's no need to change. This is it." Ye Fan gestured to Master Yuan, asking him to cut it open.
Although it was a "Ghost Splitting Stone", Master Yuan still worshiped the "Original God" according to the rules of this trade. He murmured a few words before he moved.
His hands were nimble, and his blade moved very quickly like a swimming dragon. Cold light flickered, and the stone skin quickly fell off. Not long after, layers of old skin had been peeled off from the human-head-sized Ghost Splitter Stone, and it was no longer the size of a fist.
The onlookers were all pessimistic and started to discuss among themselves.
"It's impossible for it to come out. It's just a waste of time. Let's just cut it open."
"If the Ghost Splitter Stone comes out, I'll swallow the stone skin."
"If time goes back hundreds of thousands of years, a good Origin might appear in this stone, but it's obvious that the inside has been swallowed by the Origin Ghost."
The young master of the Qingxia Sect had a mocking smile on his lips. He waved his folding fan and glanced disdainfully at Ye Fan without saying anything.
At this moment, the crowd exclaimed.
The old skin of the Ghost Splitter Stone fell off, and it was no longer the size of a lychee. However, at this moment, a dazzling brilliance shot out.
The rich Spirit Qi made people feel like they were bathing in a spring breeze, as if they were soaking in a hot spring. All the pores on their bodies relaxed, and they felt very comfortable.
A fiery red brilliance overflowed, bringing with it a faint smoke that gently blew away. It was like a cloud on fire, or an immortal aura soaked in blood.
Everyone was shocked. It was obvious that an extremely high quality Origin Stone had been dug out, and this Origin Qi was far superior to similar stones.
Inside the lychee-sized Ghost Splitter Stone, there was a bright red Origin Stone. It was only the size of a finger, but it was overflowing with colors. It was dazzling, and the redness was intoxicating.
"This is too small … it's not enough to buy this stone." Dumbo was a little dazed.
Wang Shu also frowned. Although the Origin Stone was cut out, and the quality was very high, it was too small. It was not even half a tael, let alone weighing it in weight.
"Yes, it's too small. It's so small." The people who had exclaimed just now came back to their senses, and they were a little disappointed.
In the field, Ye Fan did not think so, because he felt the vigorous Essence Qi fluctuations. Such a small piece of Origin Stone was only the size of a finger, but it was more powerful than ten pounds of pure Origin Stones piled together.
"This is the Fiery Red Origin!" Master Yuan was knowledgeable and could not help but exclaim, but he quickly stopped talking and closed his mouth.
Ye Fan instantly understood that although this Origin Stone was small, its value was equivalent to ten pounds of pure Origin Stones. This was a variant.
He suddenly laughed and said, "I think everyone has heard of the Fiery Red Origin. Although it is not a rare xenogeneic, it is definitely not common. It is very rare and precious. How much is it worth? You guys tell me."
"There is a xenogeneic Origin Stone. Although it is small, it is equivalent to ten pounds of Origin Stones!"
"What great luck. Gambling on Origin Stones sometimes depends on one's fate. With such an Origin Stone, one will not have to worry about food and clothing for many generations."
In the Origin Stone business, there would occasionally be a rare Origin Stone. It had mysterious powers, and its value could not be measured, but it was not common.
"I heard that last time, someone in the Jasper Lake Fairy Stone Market found a rare xenogeneic Origin Stone. It was many times rarer than the Fiery Red Origin Stone. It shocked the people in Sacred City, and they bought it at a high price."
"How come I didn't know about it?"
"This kind of secret would not be spread very widely."
Dumbo finally understood. He dug out the Fiery Red Origin Stone, and then he could not stop laughing. He said to the people watching, "Who said that if there is an Origin Stone, we should swallow the stone on the ground?"
Everyone was suddenly speechless, and no one admitted it.
Wang Shu walked over with a smile, reached out to the young master of the Qingxia Sect, and said, "Sorry, we won. Ten pounds of Origin Stone, hurry up and hand it over."
Ten pounds of Origin Stone was a very large number for the people present. Anyone would feel the pain, but in front of so many people, the young master of the Qingxia Sect could not lose his temper. His face sank, and he threw a Source Bag on the ground.
Dumbo picked up the Source Bag, his big mouth almost reaching his ears, and he could not stop laughing.
"That's not right. There is still half a pound of Origin Stone missing." Wang Shu frowned.
The young master of the Qingxia Sect had brought a total of this much Origin Stone. At this moment, he was completely empty. He had lost to the three Source Gatherers that he despised. This made him angry, and his face was very ugly.
"Forget it. It is not easy to go out, so let's count him half a pound less." Ye Fan said very calmly. At this moment, he had already squatted down and was carefully looking at the old skin of the Ghost Crack Stone.
Those cracks were like teeth marks, and what surprised him the most was that he actually saw a hair in the stone.
"Could there really be something like the Primordial Source Ghost?" He muttered to himself, secretly pondering. If that was the case, did it not mean that the Primordial Source Ghost might also exist?
"Do you want to continue?" Dumbo hugged a pile of Origin Stones and was very satisfied. Wang Shu was full of smiles, and they looked forward together.
The young master of the Qingxia Sect's face was ashen. He flicked his sleeves, turned around, and walked to the side. He opened his mouth to a few acquaintances, wanting to borrow Origin Stones.
"How about I bet with you!" The eyes of the people around them all lit up when they saw that the young master of the Qingxia Sect had temporarily backed out.
In their eyes, this was a big fat sheep. It would be a waste not to slaughter it. A moment of luck could not last.
Everyone thought that Ye Fan did not understand Origin Stones at all. Looking at the stones he had chosen, he had chosen the Red Lining White Stone, and then the Ghost Crack Stone. They were all blind luck, and he had hit the jackpot.
"I advise you to take it easy. This business is very strange, and it is very particular about fate and luck. Right now, these three mud monkeys are very lucky, so it is best not to bet," said an old man. An old man spoke like this. He seemed to have a very high status. After everyone heard this, most of them retreated.
The young master of the Qingxia Sect pooled his money and borrowed a bag of Origin Stones that weighed about four to five catties. He wanted to bet with Ye Fan again, so the others naturally backed off.
"Let's enter the ninth floor courtyard and pick the old Origin Stones mined from the edge of the Origin Stone Mine. Do you dare?"
The so-called edge of the Origin Stone Mine referred to the area thousands of miles away from that divine mine. It could not really be the Origin Stones mined from that Life Forbidden Zone.
Even so, this kind of Origin Stone was still extremely expensive, because sometimes they would really find rare and good Origin Stones.
"Why not?" Ye Fan also wanted to see what was different about the so-called Origin Stone Mine's edge.
In the ninth floor courtyard, there were not many Origin Stones. There were only fifty to sixty of them, ranging from goose eggs to millstones. There were no big stones that exceeded a thousand catties.
In this place, one Origin Stone could only buy one catty of stone. It could be said to be ridiculously expensive. Not many people were willing to come here and squander.
"Do you want to take advantage of me? There are dozens or even hundreds of catties of stones here. Can there really be good Origin Stones? This is too ridiculous. "Wang Shu said discontentedly.
"What do you know, monkey? The Origin Stones transported from the edge of the Origin Stone Mine are all 'divine materials'. If there is a miraculous Origin Stone, it will be priceless and immeasurable."
"Truly a country bumpkin who has never seen the world." Qingxia Sect's Young Master Liu's close friends all mocked.
By now, Ye Fan already knew Young Master Liu's name — Liu Chengen.
The corner of Liu Chengen's mouth carried a cold smile as he looked at them almost mockingly.
Dumbo did not know how to beat around the bush and directly said, "You've already lost so badly, yet you still think you're extraordinary. In a bit, you'll gamble until your face turns green!"
"You …"
The others all followed in and surrounded the dozens of old stones. Everyone was talking at once, discussing spiritedly.
Ye Fan furrowed his eyebrows in the process of selecting the stones. The people at Rong Xiang Stone Gambling House were very evil. He discovered that at least a third of the Origin Stones had been cut open and sealed up with a clever technique.
The stones here indeed gave him a very special feeling. He was a little uncertain. The stone skin was very strange as if it was contaminated with demonic power.
He drew in a cold breath. The Origin Stones collected thousands of miles away from the Origin Stone Mine were already like this. If the stones unearthed from that divine mine … it would be unimaginable!
While the people in the courtyard were viewing the stones, they were also talking about other things. Someone mentioned the Fairy Stone Square of the Jade Pool and suggested that everyone go there in the afternoon.
"Why?"
"A fairy from the Jade Pool has come to Flat Rock City. She will definitely show up in the afternoon."
"Do you guys think it's the Jade Pool's Saintess? I heard that she is patrolling everywhere. The fairy that came to Flat Rock City is very likely to be her."
