Best Young Master
Chapter 1635 - 1505: Going All In
Rongsheng Gambling Stone Workshop was as bustling as ever, with people coming and going.
Since last time Ye Fan cut out a Mid-Grade Spirit Stone from a Night Sky Star Stone, many people have come to try their luck, indirectly improving the business at Rongsheng Gambling Stone Workshop significantly.
"The three... three masters have arrived!"
Seeing Ye Fan and his two companions approach, a few gatekeepers’ faces turned green. Recalling how they were messed up like dead dogs by them last time, their legs started to tremble. These three masters were absolutely not to be offended, even if they don’t have many Spirit Stones or gamble, they are certainly good at messing with people.
"Hmm, you’ve made progress this time. Keep it up, masters have high hopes for you!"
Hu Fei greeted them with a smile, patting each person on the shoulder, discreetly resolving their deadly fate!
Hu Fei was no saint, last time when he patted them on the shoulder, it seemed harmless, but within a month their meridians would be severed and their Dantian smashed.
This time, seeing they have become much more obedient, Hu Fei lifted their fatal curse, leaving them with a life hanging by a thread, otherwise, in seven or eight days, they would lose their power and eventually die.
"Is that Wei kid inside?" Hu Fei asked.
"Yes, he just went in not long ago. He should be in the sixth layer or seventh level courtyard selecting stones now!" Several people dared not offend Wei Xuantong or Ye Fan and his companions, so they replied meekly.
"Wei Xuantong, get out here and greet your master!"
Just after stepping into the gambling stone workshop, Hu Fei yelled loudly, his voice piercing through the seven or eight layers of courtyards, catching the attention of many people.
"Can’t you be discreet? Last time we were embarrassed here!"
Ye Fan couldn’t help but laugh and cry. Hu Fei’s personality was too flamboyant; he never understood what it meant to be discreet.
"Discreet about what? We’re here to make a scene, we must let everyone know. Ye Zi, it’s all on you this time, make him gamble till he turns green!" Hu Fei said broadly.
"Aren’t those the three mud monkeys? They really have skills, they got Spirit Stones again?"
"Didn’t suffer enough last time? It’s only been ten days, and they’ve come again!"
"Truly naïve, gambling stones isn’t such a fun game, you could lose everything if you’re not careful!"
Seeing the trio enter, many people pointed fingers at them. The loss they suffered ten days ago was deeply etched in these people’s memories.
Passing through several courtyards, in the seventh level courtyard, Ye Fan and his companions met their old enemy, Wei Xuantong, who was dressed in snowy white clothes, holding a folding fan, looking cultured and refined.
"Bumpkins, are you here to give me Spirit Stones? Let me make it clear, without thirteen to twenty pounds of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, you don’t have the qualifications to gamble with me."
Wei Xuantong approached them, speaking sarcastically.
"Clatter!"
Ye Fan said nothing, directly taking out his Space Spiritual Treasure, and poured out several hundred pounds of Spirit Stones, stunning everyone.
Originally, they believed Ye Fan couldn’t possibly produce so many Spirit Stones, especially Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, which were extremely precious even in the Northern Domain where Spirit Stones were abundant.
Unexpectedly, Ye Fan didn’t even blink as he took out several hundred pounds, comparable to a small sect’s entire Spirit Stone reserve, shocking them!
"Very well, then let’s start. Where do you want to choose materials? I’ll accompany you all the way!"
Wei Xuantong was also shocked, but quickly steadied himself.
Initially, he thought Ye Fan and the others were likely from some major force, otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible to gather so many Spirit Stones in just ten days, especially Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.
But on second thought, it’s been only ten days; Ye Fan couldn’t possibly beat him, this kind of white gift of Spirit Stones wouldn’t be wasted.
"Right here!"
Ye Fan replied casually, having glanced around earlier—there were indeed some good things in this courtyard, as long as they hadn’t been tampered with, most likely something extraordinary would be cut out.
"Good!"
Wei Xuantong was quite straightforward, saying, "Still the old rule: gamble within the gamble."
Having said that, he began to seriously select stones, although he verbally dismissed Ye Fan and his companions, he wouldn’t be careless at all when it came to gambling. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Soon Wei Xuantong picked a piece of stone material, not very big, less than a hundred pounds, it was a green skin, appearing to have moss growing on its surface, but in reality, it wasn’t moss—it was the stone material’s true color.
Ye Fan’s eyes shot out two beams of strange light, scanning the stone material, discovering it really contained Spirit Stones, and they were quite good Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, weighing around four or five pounds.
"I’ve chosen, hurry up and make your choice!" Wei Xuantong patted the stone material he chose, smiling at Ye Fan.
"This one!"
Ye Fan randomly picked up a person-head-sized stone material from the ground without choosing; it weighed over ten pounds, clearly a corner piece cut from some large stone material, absolutely unlikely to contain any Spirit Stones.
The crowd was completely speechless, feeling his stone selection was too out of place.
"I say, my young brother, you really have a knack for choosing unconventional paths. You dare pick this stone; it’s clearly corner pieces cut from some stone material, if it produces Spirit Stones, it would be a miracle."
"Quickly choose another one, this stone material absolutely won’t contain anything."
"This is clearly scrap material, the way you choose stones, you’ll lose whatever you invest, better choose another one!"
Several kind-hearted people advised Ye Fan to change his choice, because in their view, this corner piece was definitely scrap, containing nothing.
Ye Fan also knew what these people said was true; based on his Stone Appraisal Technique, it was indeed scrap, but he chose it anyway. To trick someone, you have to do it big, trick them so they can never recover.
Among the onlookers, there were some elders kindly reminding him, but more people were ridiculing.
"Even if I choose while blindfolded, it’d be better than this corner piece. Young man, you must think carefully; with this recklessness, it’s strange not to lose everything."
"How can you not know such a basic thing, yet have the nerve to gamble stones? A blind cat can’t always run into a dead mouse."
Wei Xuantong shook his folding fan, showing a mocking smile, circling the Watermelon Stone and laughing loudly, "Great material!"
The people around him sneered, patting the scrap material, constantly teasing.
"Great materials, ordinary people can’t pick something like this."
"Indeed, we normal people wouldn’t dare choose."
"This is truly unique perspective, perhaps they might really cut out something incredibly rare!"
"If it cuts out a treasure later, I will swallow the stone skin to broaden my knowledge."
A crowd kept stirring, all firmly believing Ye Fan was destined to lose this time, and many regretted not getting involved earlier, seeing Ye Fan and his companions were clearly poor at choosing stones.
"Let’s cut the stones!"
At this moment, the Spirit Stone Master completed his prayers to the four corners, then prayed to the stone material, before picking up the knife and approaching, the knife moved like a dragon and snake, cutting open the stone chosen by Wei Xuantong, old skin constantly falling to the ground, and before long, there were flashes of light.
"Seven-colored light flashing, definitely Mid-Grade Spirit Stones inside!"
Just peeled off a few pounds of stone skin, a brilliant light radiates, revealing Spirit Stones emitting dazzling seven-colored glow, pristine and clean throughout.
Soon, people exclaimed again, as this piece of Spirit Stones gradually emerged, weighing over four pounds, quite precious for gamblers at this level.
"Absolutely incredible, this stone material isn’t large, yet it produced so many Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!"
"When luck comes, you can’t stop it even if you want to!"
"This Wei Xuantong indeed has some skill, managing to choose such stone material."
People exclaimed admiringly, for these little cultivators, four pounds of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones already represented significant wealth.
However, to Ye Fan, who simply took away the entire Spirit Stone Storage from the Qing Family, this amount of Spirit Stones was hardly worth noticing; each time he cultivates, the Spirit Stones required are astronomical, causing even such large forces like the Immortal Academy to feel strained.
"Cut the stone this brother chose, I’d like to see if some rare treasure comes out!" People around Wei Xuantong sneered, appearing to delight in others’ misfortune.
"Click!"
The Spirit Stone Master didn’t use single-cut method, instead wielding the knife directly, stone skins continuously fell, swiftly peeling away most of the stone layer.
However—
The result was fruitless, not even a strand of hair, entirely composed of gray-white stone mass.
Even after cutting it all, the ground was covered with stone skins, and none contained anything, a complete loss!
"Uh..."
Seeing this scene, Hu Fei and Shi Ye were outright dumbfounded.
"Stay calm, without letting them taste something sweet first, how would they fall for it?"
Ye Fan secretly transmitted to Hu Fei and Shi Ye, advising them to display a defeated demeanor to mislead the crowd.
Ah, so that’s how it is!
The two were moved in their hearts, realizing Ye Fan planned to play big today!
