Everyone was mocking him.
However, Jun Wu Xie was very calm and ignored them.
He believed that the Longevity Lock would not react for no reason, and he also believed in his own judgment.
Even if there were no spirit crystals in this cracked stone, there would still be clues he needed to complete the mission.
After paying the fee, he stood quietly under the stone-cutting platform and waited.
The Primordial Stone Workshop had made a lot of money in this round of stone selection.
He saw the prices of the stones that the stone gamblers had chosen.
The prices ranged from one billion to ten billion.
Dozens of stones added up to hundreds of billions!
"This Primordial Stone Workshop has a strong financial foundation. It's definitely unimaginably rich!"
Jun Wu Xie estimated that there was probably no one in the world with more financial resources than the Primordial Stone Workshop.
Although the Sovereigns had jointly established a trading company, their expenses were too high. They had millions of disciples.
It could be said that the more they earned, the more they spent. It was already good enough if their annual surplus was a few percent of their income.
On the other hand, the Primordial Stone Workshop had much fewer people than the Sovereigns, so their expenses were naturally not as high. Moreover, they had abundant spirit crystals and did not need to spend money to purchase such cultivation resources.
At this moment, everyone was still mocking Jun Wu Xie.
As the first stone gambler stepped onto the stone-cutting platform, the entire place fell silent.
Everyone's attention was instantly focused on the stone-cutting platform.
It was an itinerant cultivator with sharp eyes. He looked to be in his fifties, but in reality, he had probably cultivated for at least a few hundred years.
The stone he had chosen was shaped like a pumpkin. It was slightly bigger than a washbasin and had some faint, sparse patterns on its surface.
The itinerant cultivator raised his stone-cutting knife, and everyone's hearts immediately tensed up.
As the knife fell, a piece of the stone's outer layer fell off.
The itinerant cultivator cut very slowly. It felt like a gambler rubbing the cards in his hand little by little. He was nervous and full of anticipation, so much so that after every cut, the hand holding the knife would tremble slightly.
Jun Wu Xie looked at the itinerant cultivator cutting the stone and felt his nervousness and anticipation. It made him nervous as well.
"Is there a need?"
Jun Wu Xie touched his chin and realized that he had unknowingly been affected by the person cutting the stone. He was speechless.
"It's green, it's green!"
Everyone exclaimed.
After the rogue cultivator cut dozens of times, when the raw stone was only the size of a head, he finally saw the radiating green threads on the surface of the stone.
Jun Wu Xie saw the extremely nervous Itinerant Cultivator heave a sigh of relief.
If it turned green, it meant that there was a one in ten chance that a Spirit Crystal could be cut out of the raw stone.
Today's stone gambling was different from before.
These Primordial Stones were too expensive. A single Primordial Stone was enough to bankrupt an itinerant cultivator.
Even the upper echelons of large forces could not afford to buy more than a few raw stones if they were to gamble privately.
Soon, the raw stone was reduced to the size of a fist.
The rogue cultivator's face was already covered in sweat, which flowed down his cheeks. His body was trembling.
Crack!
With the final slash, the entire ore was split into two halves.
The rogue cultivator seemed to have lost all his strength in an instant. He fell to the ground with a dull expression, his lips trembling, his face pale, and his eyes empty.
"It's over, it's over …"
He muttered. That deep unwillingness and helplessness was transmitted to everyone's hearts.
Everyone sighed.
That was a Primordial Stone worth about two billion Spirit Crystals!
Nothing was cut out of it, not even one or two Inferior Spirit Crystals.
Suddenly, many people felt that the Primordial Stone Workshop was too deceitful. It was simply too deceitful.
"The Primordial Stone Workshop is sorry for this result."
Yuzhu was gentle and ethereal as she calmly spoke.
The rogue cultivator came back to his senses and sighed deeply. He walked down the stone-cutting platform. Halfway down, he could not help but turn back to look at the stone skin on the ground. The muscles on his face twitched. Then, he stepped down the stone-cutting platform. His eyes were no longer as bright as before.
Two billion Spirit Coins!
This was an astronomical number for a rogue cultivator!
All his savings over the past few hundred years were so little. Today, he was almost bankrupt!
Originally, he had hoped to cut out something useful to help him break through the bottleneck of his realm.
But this time, he had lost the gamble. He had suffered a crushing defeat!
The second rogue cultivator stepped onto the stone-cutting platform.
The person in front of him gave him too much pressure. So much so that his hands were trembling slightly before he started cutting the stone.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his state of mind, and began to peel the stone skin.
After dozens of slashes, a wisp of green light bloomed.
"A Spirit Crystal appeared!"
"Looks like it's quite heavy!"
Everyone exclaimed and became excited.
But the rogue cultivator who was cutting the stone felt his legs go soft and almost fell to the ground.
"Ah! It's light green! "
"A light green low-grade Spirit Crystal …"
Only then did everyone realize that the green light was too faint. It was the luster of a low-grade Spirit Crystal.
Compared to the price of this raw stone, a low-grade Spirit Crystal was not worth mentioning. It was only a few hundred thousand Spirit Coins per kilogram.
And this raw stone was priced at more than one billion!
In the end, all the stone skin fell off. It was a piece of low-grade Spirit Crystal that weighed more than five kilograms. It was emitting a light green light.
The rogue cultivator who was cutting the stone carried the Spirit Crystal and walked down the stone-cutting platform without saying a word.
"Gambling on stones. For people who have not cultivated Spirit Spells, experience is not the key. It's just luck. I hope my luck today is not too bad."
Su Ji shook his head and sighed. He raised his raw stone and walked up the stone-cutting platform.
He knew very well what buying such a raw stone meant to a rogue cultivator.
The raw stone that he chose was an irregular polygon. It was the size of two washbasins and was priced at 3.6 billion Spirit Coins!
Relatively speaking, Su Ji was much calmer than the two rogue cultivators in front.
The stone in his hand was cut very steadily. He peeled off the stone skin bit by bit.
When half of the raw stone's volume was peeled off, there was finally green.
There was a small green mark the size of a fingernail.
He took a deep breath and swung his saber down again. A wisp of tender green light bloomed.
"Middle-grade Spirit Crystal!"
"The raw stone's volume is still so big. Only a corner of the Spirit Crystal is exposed. Heavens, this is at least fifty to sixty kilograms!"
Everyone exclaimed. Many people had never seen such a big Spirit Crystal in their lives.
Su Ji's face did not show any joy. Instead, he looked a little disappointed.
The knife in his hand was very steady. He peeled off the stone skin piece by piece.
Finally, a Spirit Crystal that was slightly smaller than a washbasin appeared in front of everyone's eyes like a huge green diamond. The light green light illuminated the stone platform green.
This piece of middle-grade Spirit Crystal was estimated to be around sixty kilograms. It was worth more than one billion Spirit Coins!
But overall, it was still far less than the raw stone's price.
Su Ji had lost. He had lost more than two billion.
He was a little disappointed. He shook his head, put away the Spirit Crystal, and walked down the stone cutting platform.
"Elder, you prodigal!" Su Xiaoxiao reached out and pulled Su Ji's beard. She said angrily, "Oh my, more than two billion. I can buy a lot of resources to practice my medical skills!"
Su Ji only felt a pain in his chin. Looking at the few white straws in Su Xiaoxiao's hand, the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch.
Next, the stone gamblers from various factions went up to cut the stones one after another.
A few pseudo dominator rank stone gamblers left behind a pile of stone skin and gained nothing. There were more than ten pseudo dominator rank stone gamblers who cut out low-grade and middle-grade Spirit Crystals of different weights. The heaviest piece was forty to fifty kilograms.
The stone gamblers from the Charm Pupil Clan, Demon Aspect Sect, Ice Cloud Building, Dafan Zen Sect, Heaven Splitting Sword Sect, and Spirit Controlling Sect all cut out tens of kilograms of middle-grade Spirit Crystals.
If it was a normal day, cutting out such a large amount of middle-grade Spirit Crystals would definitely be a profit. But today, they had lost a lot. Everyone had lost more than a few billion Spirit Coins.
"Oh, everyone's stone gambling skills are actually very good. The raw stones from the Chaos Ancient Mine have a mysterious power. It will interfere with the stone gamblers' judgment." The Mei Family's elder raised the raw stone that was more than a meter in diameter and went up to the stone cutting platform. He said, "However, when it comes to stone gambling, you still have to look at my original spirit technique family. Today, the things that everyone cut out are not ideal. I can only reluctantly show off my brilliance. "
He placed the raw stone on the stone cutting platform. His face was full of confidence. He said, "Then, everyone, please wait and see!"
"Kid, take a good look at what a true stone gambling expert is!"
The resentment and hatred in his heart caused Young Master Mei to lose his usual calmness. He loudly mocked Jun Wu Xie, who was queuing up to cut the stones. "You are a frog at the bottom of a well who relied on luck to cut out two middle-grade Spirit Crystals. Open your eyes wide and broaden your horizons. See what true strength is!"
When Jun Wu Xie heard this, the corner of his mouth, which was covered by a cloth, curled into a cold smile.
