Ze Duo looked at Ning Qi without batting an eyelid. "What's your problem?"
"I suspect that these ten Heavenly Origin Stones are not very clean. How about this, we'll let Senior Pu personally pick ten Heavenly Origin Stones for the competition."
Ning Qi smiled.
"Not very clean?" Before Ze Duo could speak, Heavenly Source Pavilion's pavilion master sneered. "Junior, are you questioning the credibility of Heavenly Source Pavilion? Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye can see that these ten Heavenly Origin Stones are naturally formed and have not been tampered with.
Are you trying to humiliate Heavenly Source Pavilion? "
"Juniors these days are really arrogant."
"Ridiculous!"
The Heavenly Source Masters behind Heavenly Source Pavilion's pavilion master reprimanded, looking at Ning Qi with a trace of anger. The surrounding cultivators also felt that Ning Qi was making a big fuss out of nothing.
"Heavenly Origin Stones are indeed not easy to fake. Even if the appearance can be changed, the inside cannot be tampered with. There shouldn't be much of a problem for this competition to determine the value of the inside, right?"
"That's right, I've been studying this for many years and have a deep understanding of it. If I can't determine the value of the inside just because of the appearance, it would be a form of negligence."
The surrounding cultivators discussed in low voices.
There were already many cultivators who had not seen Ning Qi's methods and cast doubtful gazes at him. They secretly guessed that Ning Qi might be afraid of this competition, which was why he requested to change the Heavenly Origin Stones.
"Brother Ning, could it be that you're afraid? Haha, you can admit defeat if you're afraid. I'll take half of the bet from you. "
Ze Duo laughed.
"I'll lose half if I surrender?"
Ning Qi smiled. "These ten Heavenly Origin Stones are completely worthless. You should have known the answer beforehand, right?"
As he spoke, Ning Qi's figure suddenly moved, waving his hand and shattering the ten Heavenly Origin Stones. Pu's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not stop him. When the ten Heavenly Origin Stones were shattered, everyone saw that there was indeed nothing inside.
The value of ten Heavenly Origin Stones was zero!
"You!"
Ze Duo looked at Ning Qi in shock and anger.
Heavenly Source Pavilion's pavilion master also revealed a strange expression.
Pu thoughtfully looked at the shattered stones on the ground. The corner of his mouth suddenly curled up and he looked at Heavenly Source Pavilion's pavilion master. When he raised his head, the strange expression on Heavenly Source Pavilion's pavilion master's face had already disappeared.
"Looks like I guessed right. I win this bet, right?"
Ning Qi laughed.
Jiu Kun heaved a long sigh of relief. He was so nervous that his palms were sweating.
Dong Yan's expression visibly relaxed.
"That shouldn't be the case. No matter how I look at it, there should be something in those Heavenly Origin Stones. Otherwise, why would their bodies emit a special Spiritual Qi? Why is there nothing here?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, if it were me, I would have already lost. This Senior Ning is too fierce. His eyesight is so sharp, I really admire him!"
"Strange, these Heavenly Source Stones don't behave according to common sense. Could it be that they've been tampered with?"
A wave of discussion broke out in the surroundings.
Ze Duo's complexion alternated between green and white, then he gritted his teeth and said, "This bet doesn't count, you've made the Heavenly Source Stone look like this, how am I supposed to guess? At the very least, I can fight you to a draw! "
"Not bad!"
The Heavenly Source Pavilion Master said in a deep voice.
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if it doesn't count this time. Senior Ah Pu, please pick another ten Heavenly Source Stones for me to compete with Master Ze Duo."
Ning Qi smiled faintly.
This was his true motive. When he saw the ten Heavenly Source Stones, Ning Qi knew the source of his opponent's confidence. These ten Heavenly Source Stones were empty, as if they had been dug out by some unknown method. However, their aura remained, and at the same time, their traces were erased.
It was very clean. If it wasn't for Ning Qi's ability to see through it, any other Heavenly Source Master would have fallen into their trap.
In this way, Ze Duo naturally knew that the value of these ten Heavenly Source Stones was zero. If they continued to gamble, it would only end in a draw. This was not what Ning Qi wanted. He wanted to win, he wanted his opponent to bleed as much as he could, as the price for scheming against him!
"Could it be that he can really see through these Heavenly Source Stones?"
Ze Duo's face was filled with shock and anger. He subconsciously glanced at the Heavenly Source Pavilion Master. Without waiting for him to speak, Ah Pu laughed loudly. "Just now, little brother was too anxious and smashed all these Heavenly Source Stones, so the result of the competition cannot be counted. Now, I will personally pick ten Heavenly Source Stones for you to use in the competition.
For the sake of fairness, my selection of Heavenly Source Stones will not be limited to the Heavenly Source Pavilion. "
After a pause, he looked towards the Heavenly Source Pavilion Master. "Brother Red Hair, what do you think?"
"Up to you."
The Heavenly Source Pavilion Master indifferently said.
Old man Wei and the others had ugly expressions on their faces. However, it was impossible to back down now, so they could only do this.
If they reneged on their promise, it would easily attract criticism from the Heavenly Source Pavilion. Given the current situation, even if the Heavenly Source Pavilion lost ten billion essence stones to Ning Qi, they could only accept it. At most, they would have to give all their profits for the next two or three years to Ning Qi.
If the Heavenly Source Pavilion's reputation was tarnished, it could affect their business for the next few decades, or even centuries. The loss would not be just ten billion essence stones...
Ah Pu let out a long laugh. He immediately collected five Heavenly Source Stones from the surrounding cultivators, then went outside to find another five Heavenly Source Stones. After gathering ten Heavenly Source Stones, he placed them in front of Ning Qi and Ze Duo.
Ze Duo's expression was somewhat grave, his palms sweating. The stakes were too high. If he lost, not only would his reputation be tarnished, the Heavenly Source Pavilion Master would not let him off so easily.
There was still a long way to go!
Ze Duo suddenly felt a trace of regret. If he had known this would happen, he would have shamelessly rejected the Heavenly Source Pavilion Master's suggestion...
"Once you have estimated the value, you can inform me through voice transmission."
Ah Pu smiled.
As soon as he finished speaking, his ears twitched and he glanced in Ning Qi's direction.
At the same time, the Heavenly Source Pavilion Master's voice sounded in Ze Duo's ears.
"Three million and eight hundred thousand essence stones."
Ze Duo was slightly taken aback, but a trace of joy surged in his eyes. He immediately transmitted his voice to Ah Pu, "Senior Ah Pu, I estimate the value of these ten Heavenly Source Stones to be around three million and eight hundred thousand."
Ah Pu glanced at him with a strange expression.
After a pause, he continued, "Both sides have estimated the value. Later, I will cut open the Heavenly Source Stones and calculate their value before reporting their estimates!"
Everyone's spirits rose. They did not expect both sides to estimate the value so quickly. They immediately looked at Ah Pu expectantly. Not long after, all ten Heavenly Source Stones were cut open. There were pills and treasures inside, but nothing special. Hence, the value was relatively easy to estimate.
There was no need for Ah Pu to state the price. Some cultivators with good judgment had already estimated the value in their hearts.
Around three million and eight hundred thousand essence stones!
