Genius for one second? Live? Little Yu??? Champagne? Mound? City F * ck? Chapter 171: Stone Gambling!
"Tang Huan, you're thinking too much!"
Mu Yan's face was calm as she said indifferently. In the depths of her beautiful eyes, however, a strange look that was hard to detect flashed past.
Hearing that, Tang Huan did not mind, and continued to say with a smile: "For powers like the three great empires' royal families and Divine Weapon Pavilion, there is simply no need for them to go against the Star Ocean Commerce. Therefore, the one who would secretly attack the Star Ocean Commerce is most likely another powerful Chamber of Commerce."
"In this world, the Star Ocean Commerce is worthy of being the number one Chamber of Commerce. There is not a single Chamber of Commerce that can compare to it in strength, but there are two that are close to the Star Ocean Commerce. One is the 'Spirit Feather Merchant Guild', and the other is the 'Flowing Flower Merchant Guild'. You must be from one of these two Chamber of Commerce."
"From the way you spoke to Hu Sen that day, he should be the manager of the Chamber of Commerce in the Dragon Spring Town, and your position in the Chamber of Commerce is clearly above Hu Sen's."
"As for Zhong Kang, he is naturally your subordinate."
Tang Huan looked at Mu Yan with a face full of smiles, "That Hu Sen has a good plan. When you obtain the 'Phoenix Flame Essence', he will take the opportunity to kill you, and then get rid of Zhong Kang. No one will know, and even if the Chamber of Commerce asks about it in the future, he will be able to shirk all responsibility."
"Tang Huan, what are you trying to say?"
After listening to Tang Huan's analysis, Mu Yan finally could not hold it in any longer. She bit her red lips and stared at Tang Huan with an ugly expression on her face.
With just a few clues, this fellow was actually able to deduce so many things.
Tang Huan said while beaming: "Mu Yan, what I mean is actually very simple. Since the Star Ocean Commerce in the Dragon Spring Town might have 'Heavenly Wood Stones', then, the 'Spirit Feather Merchant Guild' and 'Flowing Flower Merchant Guild', which are not much weaker than the Star Ocean Commerce, shouldn't not even have a few 'Heavenly Wood Stones', right? "Of course, I don't have to limit myself to 'Heavenly Wood Stones'. As long as I have enough gems, it's not like I can't afford it."
After saying that, Tang Huan purposely dragged out his tone, "For example, a 'Phoenix feather'."
"What?"
"Ya!"
Hearing this, Mu Yan was shocked. Almost at the same time, a tender cry also sounded out.
Tang Huan looked down in confusion, only to see Feng Ming sucking on a delicate little finger, his black eyes glistening with a sparkling and translucent light, "Father, hungry …"
"Alright, alright, we'll set off immediately." Tang Huan immediately rubbed the little girl's head and comforted her, while his gaze turned towards Mu Yan.
"You're willing to use the phoenix feather to exchange for the 'Heavenly Wood Stone'?" Mu Yan took a deep breath, still in disbelief.
"Of course!"
Tang Huan laughed out loud.
That "Phoenix Feather" was indeed a priceless rare treasure. A single "Phoenix Feather" was completely capable of creating a high level Weapon Refiner, but to Tang Huan, who had already fused with the "Nirvana Sacred Fire", the remaining "Phoenix Feather" were like chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, but a pity to discard.
Using the "Phoenix Feather" to exchange for the "Heavenly Wood Stone" seemed to be a huge loss, but to Tang Huan, this was just a reasonable use of the resources in his hands. Of course, Tang Huan was not an idiot, just a few "Heavenly Wood Stones", he would use a "Phoenix Feather" to exchange for them.
Hearing Tang Huan's words, Feng Ming couldn't help but bite his finger hard, and his beautiful and cute little face instantly scrunched up.
"It is indeed tempting, but …" You're right! "
Mu Yan let out a light breath, and also had an expression that was palpitating with excitement, but after a while, she regained her senses, took a deep breath, and then fiercely glared at Tang Huan, and snorted, "I don't know about the situation in the Spirit Feather Merchant Guild, but the branch of the Flowing Flower Merchant Guild in this Dragon Spring Town doesn't even have a single 'Heavenly Wood Stone'." Mu Yan's words were equivalent to tacitly admitting that she was a member of the Flowing Flower Merchant Guild.
"Oh?"
Tang Huan was startled, and immediately frowned.
Since the Flowing Flower Merchant Guild did not have it, and it was inconvenient for the Star Ocean Commerce to buy it, then it was even more impossible for the Spirit Feather Merchant Guild to appear. Even with Xiao Budian's help, it would not be possible for him to find enough "Heavenly Wood Stones" in such a vast area in a short period of time.
Most importantly, even if the "Phoenix Flame Essence" was maintained by the "Scorching Sun Stone", it would only exist for two months. Previously, he had stayed in the Phoenix Nest for half a month, and from the Bloody Flame Mountain to the Dragon Spring Town, he had spent an entire ten days.
Just then, Mu Yan suddenly opened his mouth: "If you want to obtain the 'Heavenly Wood Stone' in a short period of time, it's not impossible."
"What method?" Tang Huan raised his eyes slightly.
"Stone gambling!" Mu Yan spat out these two words.
"Stone gambling? "What do you mean?"
Tang Huan was a little suspicious. These two words were rather familiar to him in his previous life, but this was the first time he had heard them in this world.
"When many gems are excavated from gem veins that are said to have existed since ancient times, their surfaces will be covered by a thick layer of something called stone glue."
Mu Yan slowly said, "That stone glue is extremely strange, not only can it completely isolate the gem's aura, it can also prevent the Genuine Qi from penetrating deeper. Even a top expert like the Stage Nine Martial Saint might not be able to accurately detect what kind of gem is hidden inside the stone glue."
"Only by cutting open these ancient raw stones covered with stone glue can one know the true condition of the raw stones. Most of the time, the ancient raw stones contain some worthless ordinary stones. Of course, it is also possible to obtain low-grade gems, mid-grade gems, and even high-grade gems. Even rare gems worth tens of millions of gold coins are not impossible …" "However, this depends on luck."
"So that's how it is."
Hearing her explanation, Tang Huan immediately came to a realization.
Wasn't this similar to stone gambling in his previous life? In his previous life, when the jadeite ore was mined, it was wrapped in a layer of weathered skin. No instrument could detect its quality, and one could only know its true value after cutting it open. Thus, stone gambling came into being.
This kind of trading method was like gambling, it was extremely risky. In Tang Huan's previous life, he had heard many times of people going bankrupt because of stone gambling, going into debt, and even jumping off a building to their deaths.
The stone gambling in this world was not jadeite, but gems. However, there was not much of a difference between the two.
"There are countless types of gems. It's not easy to find an ancient ore that contains a gem, and it's even more difficult to find a gem that contains a 'Heavenly Wood Stone'." Tang Huan thought for a moment, then shook his head with a bitter smile, and said, "Mu Yan, this method of yours is too impractical. Even if I sell those 'Phoenix Feathers' and invest all of the gold coins in it, I might not be able to find a 'Heavenly Wood Stone'."
"To others, it is indeed unrealistic, but to you, it might not necessarily be so. Don't forget, your Xiao Budian is the second ranked Blue Dragon on the Spirit Beasts Board." Mu Yan smiled indifferently.
"Xiao Budian?"
Tang Huan was slightly startled, in the blink of an eye, he looked at the blue figure that was scurrying around with the Rainbow Spirit Mouse, "It … Can it do it?
"Xiao Budian's ability to sense gems was indeed astonishing, it could easily find gems that were hidden on the surface of the ground, but if it was an ancient ore, it was unknown if it could still make an accurate judgment.
"How would I know if I don't try?"
