Although Chen Jin was a little embarrassed, he had no choice but to borrow some top-grade spirit stones since he could not use them. After all, he only had top-grade spirit stones. The nuclear fission converter at Haierfa's side was also made of top-grade spirit stones. When he won the treasure gamble, he could just give more to the other party.
"Yes, of course I have spirit stones, because I was the one who brought you to join the sect. You were successfully selected as an outer disciple, and I also received two low-grade spirit stones as a reward. Hehe, I'll give them all to you," Fang Bin said as he threw the spirit stones to Chen Jin. Anyway, two spirit stones would not be able to improve his cultivation by much, so it was better to give them to Big Brother Chen.
The spirit stones were in his hands. Although it was not much to Fang Bin, he was still quite touched. After all, they were still very useful to Fang Bin. So, he raised his hand and said in high spirits, "Let's go."
Although it was in the sect, there were still all kinds of entertainment programs. After all, it was a large sect with hundreds of thousands of people practicing in it. If everyone was practicing in seclusion, then the sect would not exist normally. It was just like when Mu Yunhua led the Haierfa survivors in the beginning and only let them learn mathematics, physics, and chemistry. There were no recreational activities at all. Soon, a problem appeared. If it were not for Chen Jin's guidance, the Haierfa survivors would have been in big trouble sooner or later.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the market. Even though it was only one of the many markets built by the sect for the outer disciples, it was still considered quite large. Placed on the left and right side of the market gate were two exquisitely carved stone lions that were at least one or two meters tall. They made people unconsciously feel majestic and awe-inspiring. But to Chen Jin, there was nothing to be afraid of even if a lion came back to life, not to mention it was made of stone. The great leader once said that everything was just a paper tiger. Maybe stone lions were the same.
Then, he looked at the plaque above the stone lions. There were two big words inlaid with gold on it. It looked very dazzling under the reflection of the sun.
As he walked in, he saw many stalls on both sides of the market, leaving only a narrow passage in the middle. The passage was bustling with activity, making it seem very crowded.
"Come take a look! This three-year-old Hundred Leaf Flower is only selling for one spirit stone!"
"Boss, look at your secret manual. It's a bit incomplete. Can you make it cheaper? After all, I can't cultivate it anymore. I'm just using it as a reference."
"First-grade Yellow Dragon Pill for cultivation improvement, 10 spirit stones! Anyone?"
The people had not yet arrived, but their voices were already heard. Chen Jin's ears were filled with all kinds of hawking and haggling. But he could not help but think, "It seems that even though they are all cultivators, their life is still the same as that of mortals."
As the two of them walked through the market, they were dazzled by the many things they had never seen before. Even though Chen Jin had been to the largest shopping malls on Earth, he was still overwhelmed by the dazzling array of goods. He looked left and right, as if he was a country bumpkin who had never seen the world.
The two of them continued to walk inside. Gradually, there were fewer stalls and fewer passers-by around. However, there were more shops. The cultivation of the passers-by was also higher. Only the two of them were at the fourth level of Qi Disciple realm. After a while, under the guidance of Fang Bin, they arrived in front of a shop.
The shop was very tall. In a place like the market where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, the rent for such a big shop must be very high. Chen Jin had opened a gold jewelry shop before. Of course, he knew that the higher the rent, the higher the profit. It seemed that the people who could go in and spend money in this shop were not ordinary people.
Chen Jin had just arrived at the door when a maid came to greet him, "Hello, I'm the shopping guide here. Let me show you around." Although the cultivation of the two of them was not high, the maid still welcomed them in very politely. But that was all. Seeing that the two of them were looking left and right like country bumpkins, she casually showed them around the place and then retreated.
"Hehe." Chen Jin laughed to himself. For the first time, he was treated as a poor man. He was obviously rich enough to rival a country. She did not even have a little bit of insight.
The shop was very big. There was a hall for selling all kinds of items. There was a hall for selling elixirs. There was a hall for weapons. Chen Jin walked around and finally arrived in front of the gambling hall.
As far as the eye could see, there were stones everywhere. In fact, there was a lot to these stones. They were all stones that were washed out of the ruins or the bottom of the river. Because the local preservation technology was to use a formation to seal all the items in the stone at one time and then paste a label on it. But after a long time, due to various reasons, the preserved items were lost. The labels were either rotten or fell off. The stones were also mixed with countless stones. It was impossible to distinguish the authenticity. Many years later, people picked them up and put them in the market for sale. So the appearance looked the same as ordinary stones. Only when it was polished and cut open could one know what was inside.
Chen Jin looked around and saw all kinds of large and small stones. Some stones were piled together in a mess, and some were also clearly marked and placed on the counter.
"One spirit stone for one. Let's go over there." Chen Jin pointed to a pile of messy stones and said to Fang Bin.
The two of them walked over. Fang Bin looked at the pile of stones and his lips could not help but twitch. It was really f * cking expensive. One stone cost one spirit stone. This pile of stones, big and small, was no less than tens of thousands. If they were all sold, it would be tens of thousands of spirit stones. This shop owner really made a lot of money.
While Fang Bin was still letting his imagination run wild, Chen Jin had already activated the super X-ray through the chip in his brain. Looking around, these stones no longer had any secrets in his eyes. Most of them were ordinary stones without any value. Only a few could be seen clearly, but most of them were worthless things. Only a few dozen of them were covered by spiritual energy and could not be seen clearly. He estimated that they were valuable things. Among the dozens, only one or two had strong spiritual energy sealed in the stone. Even Chen Jin's super X-ray could not see them clearly. Great value, these were good things with great value.
Chen Jin smiled slightly. He found one of the stones and carried it out. It seemed that this was his first bucket of gold since coming to the immortal world.
He walked up to the front desk and paid the money. Chen Jin handed the stone to a professional stone cutter. The people next to them were curious when they saw two such young teenagers coming to gamble on stones. They also saw the raw stones in their hands. The quality was very poor. They could not help but shake their heads. There was even a slightly older disciple who opened his mouth and lectured, "You're so young and you don't practice hard. You're learning to gamble on stones like others. What kind of rotten stones did you choose?"
Chen Jin had seen a lot of cynicism and was prepared to ignore it. Who knew that this person saw that Chen Jin ignored him? He felt that he had lost face and said, "Hmph, you're young but your reputation is not small. Didn't you hear what I said to you?"
"Idiot." Chen Jin scolded softly and wanted to ignore him. Who knew that this person's ears were so sensitive. "What did you say? You've got some guts. You even dare to scold me, Jia Xinlin. Are you looking for death?" As he said this, his Qi cultivation surged out.
Seeing that there was movement here, the people around looked up at Jia Xinlin. Suddenly, murmurs sounded everywhere.
"Who offended him? He has Qi cultivation at Qi cultivation."
"I heard that Jia Xinlin's cultivation stagnated because he was addicted to gambling on stones. He was unable to break through Qi cultivation and reach Foundation Establishment. But his judgment is still quite good. After all, he has been gambling on stones for many years."
The old man's repeated inexplicable provocations also made Chen Jin a little angry. "I called you an idiot. Are you deaf because you're old?"
