Qing Wushuang intended to follow Tian Qingyao, and there wasn’t much to say between them.
The others really didn’t understand much, but that didn’t stop them from complaining about the exorbitant prices of the rough stones here!
However, Qing Wushuang always liked to chime in, which really annoyed everyone.
Originally, everyone just followed Ye Wushuang to take a look at the scene in the stone gambling area. Having such a garrulous and self-righteous person tagging along was truly exasperating.
And just at that moment.
On the other side.
Ye Wushuang was with Qing Shiyu.
“What do you think of this rough stone?” Ye Wushuang pointed at a palm-length, oddly-shaped rough stone placed inside the counter and smiled as he spoke.
Qing Shiyu examined it carefully and couldn’t help but say, “I can’t see anything special about it…”
Qing Shiyu leaned on the counter, holding her cheeks with both hands, and said in a dejected tone, “I think these rough stones, apart from looking rather strange on the surface, have no other differences.”
Ye Wushuang smiled and said, “The differences are substantial.”
“Rough stones are not ordinary stones. There are valuable things inside them. However, as time passes, the good things inside some of them are gradually digested, while others are still well-preserved, and some are even in an even better state of preservation.”
“Moreover, choosing rough stones is an art, and cutting these rough stones without damaging the treasures inside is an even greater art.”
Listening to Ye Wushuang’s patient explanation, Qing Shiyu blinked her eyes, stared at Ye Wushuang, and smiled, “I didn’t expect you to have research on stone gambling as well.”
“Let me put it this way.” Ye Wushuang teased, “In the path of martial arts, I have dabbled in all its branches. I know a great deal. You only know who I am for now, but in the future, you’ll find that I have layer upon layer of secrets.”
Qing Shiyu then said, “Alright, so you’re still hiding something from me?”
“Of course!”
“Fine!” Qing Shiyu said with confidence, “Don’t tell me. I will surely discover all your secrets bit by bit until eventually, you have no secrets left in front of me!”
“It’s a deal!”
Just then, the shopkeeper came up and said with a smile, “Honorable guests, have you taken a fancy to any of the stones? We have professional stone-cutting masters here, and their skills are reliable. If you have chosen a rough stone, we can cut it for you on the spot.”
Ye Wushuang nodded at the palm-length rough stone inside the counter and smiled, “I’ve made my choice. It’s this one.”
The shopkeeper immediately smiled and said, “This rough stone is priced at 12,000 top-grade spirit stones!”
Ye Wushuang directly paid with the spirit stones.
The shopkeeper immediately went to find the stone-cutting master and prepared to cut the stone.
“Has Young Master Ye bought a rough stone?”
Just then, Tian Qingyao walked over and smiled, “It seems that Young Master Ye has had good luck in the treasure-hunting area and now intends to show his skills in the stone gambling area.”
After Tian Qingyao finished speaking, Qing Wushuang beside her stepped forward, examined the rough stone chosen by Ye Wushuang for a long time, and suddenly said, “Young Master Ye is really lucky. He has chosen the right rough stone. There must be an extraordinary spiritual treasure inside!”
Upon hearing this, Qing Shiyu was at a loss for words.
She had followed Ye Wushuang here and witnessed Ye Wushuang carefully examining each rough stone for a long time before finally choosing this one.
But now, according to Qing Wushuang, it was just a matter of luck?
Qing Wushuang smiled and said, “Many novices rely on a great deal of luck. I’ll say it again. Since Young Master Ye is Qing Yao’s guest, if you need it, I can help you choose.”
“No need.”
Ye Wushuang directly refused.
Originally, Qing Wushuang was just trying to show off his superiority in front of him, and Ye Wushuang didn’t think much of it.
After all, it was understandable that Qing Wushuang seemed to have feelings for Tian Qingyao and wanted to impress the woman he liked.
However, constantly bringing him up time and time again really made Ye Wushuang feel annoyed.
Seeing that Ye Wushuang refused simply, Qing Wushuang gave a dry laugh and didn’t say anything more.
What an ungrateful person!
Very soon.
The stone-cutting master arrived and began to carefully peel off the surface of the rough stone.
Gradually, the debris of the rough stone fell off, and then a faint fluorescent light flashed.
Both the shopkeeper and the stone-cutting master’s eyes lit up.
According to their experience, they could tell that there must be something really good inside this rough stone.
At this moment, Qing Wushuang had a triumphant smile on his face, and the several attendant disciples beside him were also beaming with joy.
Their young master was right. This rough stone really had something valuable inside!
On the side, Lin Qingfeng, Xu Ziqian and the others were speechless.
Looking at Qing Wushuang’s attitude, it seemed as if he had chosen this rough stone instead of Ye Wushuang!
Suddenly, there was a soft sound.
When the rough stone was cut to about half, it suddenly split into two pieces, and from one of the pieces, a faint fragrant smell wafted out, and a golden light shrouded in mist slowly emanated.
“A Great Nirvana Pill!!!”
Tian Qingyao was startled when she saw the glittering elixir.
Moreover, judging from the faint fragrance, this was a Great Nirvana Pill that was extremely well-preserved and of excellent quality!
“Is this a Great Nirvana Pill?”
The others all focused their gazes.
Xia Yan couldn’t help but say, “I heard from my grandmother that the Great Nirvana Pill is a seventh-grade spiritual elixir. For powerful people at the state of Self-Oblivion, it can blend various forces and condense spiritual power, and it has a very powerful effect. It’s of great value, and it’s extremely difficult to refine, so it’s very rare…”
Tian Qingyao carefully observed it at this moment and couldn’t help but say, “It should be the work of an eighth-grade spiritual elixir master. Its color and smell are both top-notch.”
“With such quality, it’s worth at least 100,000 top-grade spirit stones.”
100,000?
When this was said, everyone was truly astonished.
Ye Wushuang bought it for 12,000 and could sell it for 100,000. That meant he could directly earn 88,000!
“At least!”
Tian Qingyao said seriously, “If it’s put up for auction, it might even be worth more than 100,000…”
Looking at Ye Wushuang, Tian Qingyao said again, “This Great Nirvana Pill is of great value to those at the first to third tribulation states of the Self-Oblivion realm!”
“Young Master Ye, if you’re willing to part with it, I’m willing to buy it for 150,000 top-grade spirit stones!”
150,000?
Upon hearing this, the others were stunned once again.
