Best Young Master
Chapter 1637 - 1507: Peerless Rarity
At this moment, the people from Rongsheng Gambling Stone Workshop regretted so much that their intestines turned blue, wishing they could slap themselves hard!
Most of the stones here had been tampered with by them, secretly cutting open the stones to extract the spirit stones inside, then sealing them with secret techniques, and selling them as if they were intact, never expecting to miss the most precious one.
If they had known this stone contained a Heaven Grade Spirit Stone, they would have done everything to cut it open and extract the spirit stone. Now, it’s too late to say anything.
This is the Heaven Grade Spirit Stone Dream Blue!
It’s so precious, and it looks to be much larger than just a fingernail, weighing more than half a pound.
At this time, even the person in charge of Rongsheng Gambling Stone Workshop rushed over, seeing the dream-like blue in the stone, this person wished to slam his head against the wall; this time, they’ve really lost a lot.
"The Heaven Grade Spirit Stone surpasses the existence of top-grade spirit stones, with all colors retracted, leaving only one color that exceeds all others, hence what is shown is a single color. This is definitely Dream Blue!"
Anyone who gambles on stones knows this kind of Heaven Grade Spirit Stone is a rare spirit stone formed by highly compressed Heaven and Earth Source Liquid, containing terrifying Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, absolutely a priceless treasure.
"Crack!"
With the appearance of the Heaven Grade Spirit Stone Dream Blue, everyone became excited, while Wei Xuantong breathed a big sigh of relief.
Having cut out the Heaven Grade Spirit Stone, he felt he was already steadily winning, looking at the Four Directions Spirit Stones in front of Ye Fan as if they were already in his hands.
So many spirit stones, even a medium-sized force wouldn’t have so much after years of stockpiling, this was definitely a big haul!
Others were also very excited, this was a profitable business, almost like picking up spirit stones for free, their mouths couldn’t close from smiling.
"How is it? Do you have confidence?"
Seeing Wei Xuantong actually cut out a Heaven Grade Spirit Stone, Hu Fei started to get nervous too. He didn’t know how skilled Ye Fan was at Stone Appraisal, but he knew the value of Heaven Grade Spirit Stones.
"Don’t worry, I’ve set up such a big trap just to ensnare them, I won’t fall into it myself!" Ye Fan was very calm.
What could be cut out from Wei Xuantong’s stone was all within his expectations, this time there was no room for error!
With Wei Xuantong’s actions, a fist-sized Heaven Grade Spirit Stone Dream Blue was cut out, illuminating the surroundings like a fantasy, everyone seemed to be in a dream-like ocean.
"Oh my God, it’s indeed Dream Blue, just one piece is worth tens of thousands of ordinary spirit stones."
"Such Heaven Grade Spirit Stones are considered precious even in the Holy Land Gambling Stone Workshop of Feixian City."
Looking at the Dream Blue in Wei Xuantong’s hand, everyone praised him lavishly, congratulating him, looking at Ye Fan and his companions with pity, believing they were bound to lose.
"Little brother, admit defeat, your piece of stone can’t possibly cut out any rare treasures."
"Yes, consider it as spending spirit stones to buy a lesson. Remember, stone gambling isn’t a field everyone can enter."
Some seniors advised Ye Fan to admit defeat instead of humiliating himself, otherwise he would only disgrace himself further.
"Admitting defeat is so boring? I still want to see what rare immortal treasures this little brother can cut out from this chosen stone!" Wei Xuantong said stubbornly.
At this moment, he hoped Ye Fan could cut out some spirit stones because no matter how many spirit stones Ye Fan cut out, they would all belong to him, which was practically picking them for free, he certainly didn’t want to miss this chance.
"Yes, hurry up and cut the stone, I’m waiting to eat the stone skin!"
A young man beside Wei Xuantong joked, which instantly brought about a burst of laughter.
"So it was you who said you’re waiting to eat the stone skin, right? I remember you." Hu Fei sneered at Shi Ye, "Later, if you don’t swallow the stone skin, I’ll smash your teeth and make you eat it!"
"That’s fine, I’m waiting!"
That young man beside Wei Xuantong taunted, "Trying to cut out immortal treasures from such a broken stone, dream on forever."
"You all heard it, right? You have to be witnesses, he has to eat the stone skin when the time comes," Hu Fei stepped forward and said to the people around.
"Okay, we’ll testify!"
"Go ahead and cut, let us witness the skill of the stone gambling genius!"
Some truly enjoyed the spectacle, instigating from the side.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Amidst everyone’s laughter, Ye Fan took a deep breath and began to cut the stone. With his movements, the old skin of the stone fell off piece by piece, Shi Ye snorting ***** as he collected all those stone skins.
He absolutely believed in Ye Fan’s skills, dare to make such a startling gamble, naturally has some confidence, obviously intending to ensnare everyone.
The two-meter-high stone quickly shrank under Ye Fan’s actions, until it was the size of a human head, but still showed no signs of having any spirit stone.
Hmm?
Seeing this, even Hu Fei and Shi Ye started to get nervous, worried Ye Fan might have misjudged.
If that’s the case, then the Four Directions Spirit Stones would truly go down the drain, this result couldn’t be borne by them, even the Immortal Academy would feel distressed.
"Whew~"
Ye Fan stopped, gently exhaled, and looked at the white stone in front of him, furrowing his brow, only a head-sized piece remained, yet still no signs of spirit stones; everyone would think this is a worthless stone, with nothing inside.
Spirit stones are strange things, the stone covers encompassing them have the property of isolating all Qi, even cultivators with terrifying Divine Soul cannot see through them.
If not cut open, no one knows whether a stone contains spirit stones, even if Ye Fan learned the Stone Appraisal Technique, he can only infer a rough idea from the stone’s color, Qi, and other information.
However—
Exactly what it is, unless it’s cut open, no one can ever say for sure. This uncertainty is one of the great joys of stone gambling, everything relies on experience and luck.
Especially luck is the most important. Some newcomers in this field know nothing and don’t understand any stone appraisal technique, but often hit it big by pure chance.
"Anyone else wants to bet? You still have time to place your bets, otherwise, once I cut, no more bets will be accepted." Ye Fan leisurely twirled the stone cutting blade in his hand, smiling as he spoke.
"Let’s gamble, let’s pool our spirit stones together to bet against him!"
Immediately, seven or eight people gathered enough spirit stones to form the first group of gamblers and joined in.
With the first group taking the lead, many others quickly joined in, even some older strong people couldn’t resist the allure of the dazzling spirit stones and started joining in.
The number of spirit stones on the ground kept increasing, until even Hu Fei and Shi Ye were secretly surprised. If they fooled so many people, Ye Fan might not have a place to stand in Du City.
The person in charge from the Immortal Academy remained unperturbed, not caring at all. As long as Ye Fan’s identity is revealed, no one would dare retaliate against him—the Immortal Academy’s deterrent power is not insignificant!
"Anyone else willing to bet against me?"
Ye Fan glanced around, his gaze sweeping over the people present.
Many were tempted, wanting to unite, but seeing Ye Fan and Hu Fei so calm made them suspicious and hesitant.
Especially some well-connected older folks, each smarter than foxes. Seeing Ye Fan urging others to bet against him, they instantly felt something might be fishy.
"No one else?" Ye Fan asked again.
"Aren’t you done yet? Hurry up and cut the stone!"
Wei Xuantong was a bit impatient, feeling uneasy, yet it was too late to back out now.
Meanwhile, many participants in the gamble felt suspicious, wondering if they were being played?
But they thought it was impossible, with such a large piece of stone, there couldn’t be any world-shocking immortal treasures inside, otherwise a certain aura should have already been revealed.
In the end, no one else joined, leaving Ye Fan with nearly twenty spirit stones in front of him. Even for a medium-sized sect, this would suffice for a year’s consumption.
"So many spirit stones, you folks really are rich. I’ve never seen this many spirit stones in my life!" Ye Fan commented, stroking his chin.
"Aren’t you done yet? Quit dawdling, cut the stone!" Wei Xuantong was so agitated he was practically steaming from his nose, urging once again.
"Alright, since you’re eager to lose, I’ll fulfill your wish. Just wait for the emergence of the supreme rare treasure."
Ye Fan adopted a serious expression, set the stone cutting blade aside, concentrated, and slapped the head-sized stone piece with his hand.
With Ye Fan’s current divine power, not to mention a piece of stone, he could directly shatter a spiritual treasure, but he controlled his strength, merely cracking the stone skin.
"Crack!"
The sound of stone breaking resounded, and the surroundings quieted instantly, as if returning to the very beginning, no one spoke.
"Boom!"
A wave of immortal spirit aura spread, making people feel bathed in immortal light, their pores opening as if soaring with clouds.
"This is..."
The next moment.
Everyone was shocked!
Because this aura, besides an immortal elixir, only the exclusive immortal gold of great emperors possesses.
"Swish!" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
The light was dazzling!
A Heaven Grade Spirit Stone slightly larger than a fist appeared before everyone, astonishingly in Supreme Purple Crystal color, with purple divine luster reaching the sky, thick Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi incomprehensible.
"Look, something is contained within the spirit stone!"
Hu Fei, sharp-eyed, immediately noticed something else nested within the Supreme Purple Crystal Heaven Grade Spirit Stone.
"That is..."
"The exclusive holy object of a Great Emperor, Chaos Purple Crystal?"
A group of old folks exclaimed, each scrambling forward, wanting to see clearly with eyes glued.
"Indeed, it truly is the exclusive holy object of a Great Emperor, Chaos Purple Crystal!"
Someone exclaimed in disbelief, this inconspicuous stone piece contained not only a Heaven Grade Spirit Stone, but the spirit stone also enveloped the exclusive holy object of a Great Emperor.
"Uh..."
At this moment, the people at Rongsheng Gambling Stone Workshop felt like killing. This truly was a huge loss, their hearts were bleeding!
"How... how is this possible?!"
Wei Xuantong’s eyes were vacant, staring at the supreme rare treasure ahead, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood!
