The Heaven Sword City was like a mortal city. Restaurants, restaurants, and teahouses were doing well, but the most lively place was still the casino. The casinos here were all businesses of the Immortal Sword Sect, and the Gambling Stone Shop was considered a side business of the casino.
Yi Tian and Shui Dong Cheng were currently standing in front of a shop called 'Jade in the Stone'. It was said that it was the largest Gambling Stone Shop in the Heaven Sword City.
Ten days ago, Yi Tian had taken out the 'Clear Spirit Law Eye' spirit art as a substitute for the entrance fee. After Yi Tian had repeatedly inspected the technique, he realized that it was not difficult to cultivate. As long as the spirit qi was of the right attribute, it would only take nine days to master the first level of 'Identification'.
For the sake of safety, Yi Tian went into closed door cultivation for nine days and practiced wantonly in the shop. In any case, there were a lot of low-grade raw ores in the Zheng Family's Weapon Refining Shop. Seeing that Zheng Fu had nothing better to do during this period of time, Yi Tian decided to buy all the low-grade raw ores in the shop and experiment with his new spell. He would extract all the materials he could find.
This time, it was hard on Zheng Fu. Often, Yi Tian's gaze would sweep across the ore, and then he would use a small knife to cut a corner, and Zheng Fu would be in charge of the rest of the work.
Fortunately, a strong general did not lack hungry soldiers, and Yi Tian also knew how to manage people, so he gave Zheng Fu 10% of the labor fee according to the value of each ore. This time, Zheng Fu seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and spent the entire day in the warehouse working non-stop.
When the last ore was finished, Yi Tian waved his hand and gave him two thousand spirit stones. All the ores that were cut out went into Yi Tian's pocket. In total, the ores in the shop cost fifteen thousand spirit stones, plus Zheng Fu's labor fee, it was a total of seventeen thousand, but the estimated market price of those ores was at least twenty-five thousand.
With this experience, Yi Tian's confidence increased greatly. The next day, he sent a message to Shui Dong Cheng and brought two hundred thousand spirit stones to the Gambling Stone Shop to sweep the goods. Shui Dongcheng was an old man in the Heaven Sword City, he knew where the stone gambling house had the most fair prices and the highest production rate of ores. After listening to Yi Tian's narration of his experiences over the past few days, even he felt that this was something worth doing.
Just like that, the two of them rushed to the Jade in the Stone store, ready to show off their skills. As soon as they entered, they heard someone arguing inside the shop. A group of people were still watching, but no one dared to stand out and say a word. Yi Tian followed the voice and saw a female cultivator arguing with the head shopkeeper.
Shui Dongcheng glanced at her from the side and hurriedly pulled Yi Tian inside. He whispered, "Why is she here? Don't mess with her, or you'll have to bear the consequences."
This time, Yi Tian became excited. Since Shui Dongcheng said so, it seemed that the female cultivator had some background. However, he didn't know the reason, so he asked, "Brother Dongcheng, you know that woman. It seems that you're quite afraid of her."
Shui Dongcheng's face twitched and said, "You don't know, she's called Yan Zhaoxue. She's from the Beauty Sect. Rogue cultivators like us can't afford to offend her."
Carefully thinking about Shui Dongcheng's words, it seemed that he had suffered a lot from the Beauty Sect. No wonder he had such deep resentment in his heart. If he couldn't afford to offend them, he could just hide.
After calming down, Yi Tian was busy thinking about his own matters. So the two of them walked around the crowd to a counter. A cultivator came up to greet them. Under Yi Tian's signal, Shui Dongcheng directly pawned the two hundred thousand spirit stones and was then led to the back of the warehouse to look at the goods.
The warehouse of the 'Jade in the Stone' was several times larger than the main hall in front. Along the way, Yi Tian found that there were many customers like him who were led around by the shop assistants to look for ores. Most of these people wore a Refiner's badge on their chests, causing Shui Dongcheng to be filled with envy.
According to the shop assistant who led the way, the ores here were divided into several categories. Some of the high-grade ores that could be confirmed were in Area A, while the low-grade ores were in Area B. There were relatively few ores here. Although they had confirmed the type of ores, the amount of ores they opened was different.
Yi Tian looked around, then pointed to the area with the most people and said to the shop assistant, "There are the most ores there. I wonder if we can go take a look?"
"Customer, that place is the main area of our trip. All the ores that have not been verified are all piled up there. Most of the customers who come are also here for the ores in the area. In the Heaven Sword City, our shop has the most complete variety of ores. Customer, please choose carefully and tell me which one you choose. The price of the ore is all here." With that, the shop assistant pointed to the shelves in Area C. Then, he stood respectfully to the side and waited for orders.
This time, Yi Tian gave Shui Dongcheng a look, and the two of them leisurely walked into the ward. Shui Dongcheng pretended to be picking ores, but in reality, all the work was done by Yi Tian. Standing behind him, Yi Tian slowly used the 'Clear Spirit Law Eyes'. Because every time he used it, his eyes would flash with a bit of green light. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the two of them had discussed it before coming in.
Shui Dongcheng was in charge of attracting the shop assistant's attention, while Yi Tian took the opportunity to inspect the ores. The owner of this' Jade in the Stone 'was a Jin Dan cultivator, so the two of them did not want to get into trouble.
Using his divine sense to scan the ores on the shelves, he found that each of them had a price tag in front of them. Yi Tian quickly used the 'Clear Spirit Law Eyes' to scan through the ores, memorizing all the ores that had good materials. Most of the ores here were level four ores. According to the market price, it was basically a small profit to a big loss. Yi Tian could only laugh at this. The stone gambling business really had to rely on this, otherwise, where would the profits come from?
After a round of shopping, Yi Tian chose a total of nearly ten ores. According to the base price of twenty thousand per piece, it was exactly two hundred thousand. Yi Tian calculated that most of the ores here were Krypton ores, even the smaller ones were not left out. Roughly calculating, it should be enough, as long as there were no problems when refining these ores.
Shui Dongcheng understood and quickly asked the shop assistant to record it. Then, he turned to Yi Tian and smiled knowingly. The two of them did not speak.
The shop assistant did not care so much. He directly found a storage bag and put away the ores one by one. Then, he led the two of them to the main hall to settle the bill.
When the two of them returned to the main hall, they found that the quarreling people were still there. However, the shopkeeper was now ready to settle the matter and send the god of plagues out, but that Yan Zhaoxue refused to leave.
Yi Tian just smiled and went to the counter with Shui Dongcheng to settle the bill. The shop assistant took out the ten ores one by one for the cultivator at the counter to check. When he saw the Grade 4 Smithing Master's badge on the cultivator's chest, Yi Tian's heart started to pound. If someone saw him collecting so many Krypton Gold Ores, he wouldn't be able to explain himself.
The blacksmith picked up the ores and looked at them one by one. Then, his frown deepened. He looked at the two people in front of him from time to time as if he wanted to see through them. After a while, he said, "Fellow Daoist has taken away all the Krypton ores in my shop. What do you want us to do next?"
Seeing that trouble was coming, Yi Tian hurriedly explained, "I am Zheng Family's blacksmith shop's blacksmith. This time, I want to buy a few pieces of Krypton ores and prepare to refine a level five spirit tool."
When the refiner heard this, he looked at the identity token that Yi Tian took out and heaved a sigh of relief. Since it was a subsidiary of the Immortal Sword Sect, everyone had to give face to the monk. There was also Elder Jin Dan above them. There was no need to be hostile over trivial matters.
Yan Zhaoxue, who was quarreling, heard Yi Tian's words and paused for a moment. Then, her face revealed a slight smile. After stopping the quarrel, Yan Zhaoxue walked to Shui Dongcheng's side and said, "You sneaky bastard, how did you get the money to gamble on stones?"
Yan Zhaoxue was dressed like a young girl. She looked to be sixteen years old and wore a green gown. Her cultivation was similar to his. Her whole body was surrounded by strands of aura qi. Presumably, she practiced a very powerful cultivation technique.
Looking at the other party's aggressive expression, Shui Dong Cheng also obediently hid behind the others and didn't say a word. At this time, Yi Tian had no other choice. Shui Dongcheng also had a bad relationship with her. This matter could only be handled by him. He walked forward and said, "I asked Brother Dongcheng to lead me to gamble on stones. I wonder if the fairy has any advice?"
Yan Zhaoxue also knew that the person in front of her was the main character. She looked at him and said, "It just so happens that I also want a few pieces of Krypton ores. If it is convenient for you, can you part with them?"
Shui Dongcheng was anxious, but he did not dare to say a word. He could only wait for Yi Tian to speak. The few shop assistants next to them also looked like they were in a daze. The shopkeeper had a face full of smiles and hurriedly urged Yi Tian to give them two pieces.
According to his previous temper, Yi Tian would have to ask for advice from the other party, but now he was unfamiliar with this place. Besides, this Yan Zhaoxue was also a member of the three major sects. It was not worthwhile to get into trouble for such a small matter. After weighing the pros and cons, Yi Tian nodded helplessly and said, "Well, for the shopkeeper's sake, I agree to give you two pieces of Krypton ores, but only this time."
Seeing that Yi Tian was so sensible, everyone around was relieved. Especially the shopkeeper, who hurriedly came forward to help pack. Even the refiner who settled the bill for Yi Tian and the others looked at Yi Tian with approval.
After half an hour, Yi Tian and Shui Dongcheng finally left the stone gambling house. Counting the raw ores in their hands, they were less than one person's worth. Shui Dongcheng volunteered this time and said that he would buy the rest. Even if it was 40,000 spirit stones, it would be more than enough.
In this regard, Yi Tian just said casually, "You go and come back quickly. I'll go back to the store to purify the ores and then wait for Du Heiyi's news."
After the two agreed on a time to contact, Shui Dongcheng took the 40,000 spirit stones and went shopping happily. Yi Tian also knew that this fellow would dig in wherever there was profit. Out of the 40,000 spirit stones, he would probably take away 30% of it. However, no matter what, the materials needed to refine the token were more or less gathered.
At present, according to his level of refining ores, the finished product should be enough. After thinking about it, Yi Tian took out his identity jade card and found Xing Yuan's contact information. Then, he bluntly told him what he had encountered. For a straight man like Xing Yuan, it was better to be straightforward. This was also why Yi Tian was confident in his ability to recognize people.
Even if he knew that Dugu Ao was his future competitor, he believed that with Xing Yuan's character, he would not refuse. For a person like him who valued friendship and righteousness, Yi Tian would still think highly of him.
