#322 - Having money means being willful

Jun Wuxie's expression was calm, but he was deeply surprised.

He remained silent, leisurely strolling through the Ancient Stone Gambling Garden, and no one paid attention to a child like him.

On the stone-cutting platform, the young master of the Mei family had already stepped down.

He didn't seem very satisfied with what he had gained today, lacking the joy of cutting out a medium-grade spirit stone. Instead, he furrowed his brows in thought, occasionally flashing a sharp glint in his eyes.

Combined with the announcement made earlier by the people of the Ancient Stone Gambling Garden.

Jun Wuxie knew that the young master of the Mei family must be thinking about the raw spirit stones from the Primal Chaos Ancient Mine that would be sold to the public here tomorrow, with on-site stone cutting.

At this moment, two middle-aged men from the Mei family ascended the stone-cutting platform and began cutting the raw spirit stones they had selected.

Jun Wuxie stood quietly behind the crowd, his powerful Martial Intent Perception constantly penetrating into the raw spirit stones as the middle-aged men's stone-cutting knives fell, probing them.

He was learning and accumulating experience.

The stone-cutting event held tomorrow would surely attract countless stone-selecting experts.

He knew very well that he had to make a move tomorrow and select the raw spirit stone that contained the clues, otherwise, he might miss the opportunity.

In a situation with experts gathered like clouds, that stone, which was related to whether he could complete the mission, was very likely to be chosen by someone else.

Therefore, he had no way out.

But today was only his initial contact with stone selection. His experience in this field was severely lacking, and he didn't understand any Primal Spirit Arts.

What he could rely on now was Martial Intent Perception. Perhaps when he personally handled them, the Primordial True Eyes could play some role.

Of the two middle-aged men from the Mei family, one successfully cut out a spirit crystal stone, about the size of a fist, weighing about two or three catties, but not as good as the Mei family's young master, as what he cut out was only a low-grade spirit crystal stone.

The price of a low-grade spirit crystal stone was vastly different from that of a medium-grade one.

A low-grade spirit crystal stone, with that weight, was only worth about a million spirit coins.

Overall, the people of the Mei family had made a profit today.

They spent a total of one million spirit coins but cut out something worth hundreds of millions of spirit coins!

Later, the three members of the Mei family made more than a dozen shots one after another, selecting raw spirit stones worth tens of millions of spirit coins in the Ancient Stone Gambling Garden.

However, they never had the same harvest as their first shot.

Even the young master of the Mei family failed several times, cutting out nothing. Among the dozen or so attempts, he cut out raw spirit stones four times.

The first time was a dozen or so catties of medium-grade spirit crystal stones, and the subsequent three times were all a few taels or about a catty of low-grade spirit crystal stones.

Jun Wuxie had been paying attention all along, accumulating experience from it.

In the afternoon, he entered the stone-selecting area.

People were very surprised that a child would come to gamble on stones?

"Hey, whose child are you? Running here to gamble on stones, do your parents know?"

Someone joked.

"What? Am I not paying, or what? Can't I gamble on stones?"

Jun Wuxie glanced at those who were talking.

"Not old in age, but quite the temper. We are kindly reminding you, don't lose all your parents' savings, hahaha!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

They had never seen a child in his teens gamble on stones. Even in a Primal Spirit Master family like the Mei family, a ten-year-old child would find it difficult to master Primal Spirit Arts. Coming out to gamble on stones would always be accompanied by an elder to practice.

The child in front of them came here alone to gamble on stones, which looked strange no matter how you looked at it.

"Little friend, are you sure you want to select stones?"

The leading woman of the Ancient Stone Gambling Garden approached with a light smile, her eyes bright, and her eyebrows curved, very pretty.

"Otherwise?"

Jun Wuxie was very speechless. What's wrong with being young? Does being young mean you can't gamble on stones?

He snorted, and walked into the stone selection area with his head held high and his chest out.

Looking at his little adult-like appearance, the woman from the Ancient Stone Gambling Garden couldn't help but smile, and didn't say anything more.

Many people crossed their arms and watched him select stones inside, some stroking their chins, waiting to see him make a fool of himself and cry.

The stone selection area was very large, and there were too many raw spirit stones placed inside, at least tens of thousands of them.

Jun Wuxie was originally full of confidence.

After all, he had previously seen many people select and cut stones, and thought he had accumulated a lot of experience, able to distinguish which raw spirit stones gave him a certain feeling and aura feedback contained spirit crystal stones.

However, after entering the stone selection area, he realized that his idea was too optimistic.

There were a large number of raw spirit stones here, and the auras released between them intertwined, forming a huge interference for the stone selectors.

His Martial Intent Perception was weakened a lot here, and penetrating into the raw spirit stones was even weaker.

"No, I have to find a way to select stones today, otherwise what will I do tomorrow?"

He thought to himself, and began to select, picking up a stone and constantly looking at it from left to right.

While looking with his eyes, Martial Intent Perception constantly penetrated into it.

The crowd couldn't help but laugh when they saw him selecting stones in such a serious manner.

Who selects stones like that?

Does selecting stones mean picking them up and looking at them up, down, left, and right with your eyes?

If you could see it with the naked eye, wouldn't the Ancient Stone Gambling Garden lose money to death?

"Tsk, this kid is a spendthrift. He doesn't understand any stone selection methods at all, and he dares to run here to select stones. I think he's just too curious and doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth."

People's discussions constantly entered his ears.

Jun Wuxie ignored them and quietly examined the stone in his hand.

However, inside here, the Martial Intent Perception was too weak after penetrating into it, making it difficult to sense the feedback that the raw spirit stones gave him when he watched others select stones outside.

He put down the raw spirit stone in his hand, lowered his head, and mysterious runes appeared in his pupils.

He activated the Primordial True Eyes.

The pupil technique peered inside through the stone skin.

But the stone skin seemed to have a special force of rules, weakening the effect of his pupil technique. The deeper it went, the more it was weakened. After a certain depth, what he saw was a blurry mess.

"The Primordial True Eyes have no effect at all?"

He was very speechless. He didn't expect that his greatest reliance and the method he had the most hope for would not help at all!

"Try the method of fusing Martial Intent Perception with the Primordial True Eyes."

Just when he was at a loss, the voice of the mysterious woman, Ye Qingxue, sounded in his mind.

He was stunned for a moment, and without any hesitation, he immediately began to try.

Integrating Martial Intent Perception into the Primordial True Eyes, when the pupil technique explored the raw spirit stone again, there was indeed a different feeling.

Although he still couldn't see the inside of the raw spirit stone, he had a different feeling from before.

He continuously examined hundreds of raw spirit stones, but couldn't be sure which feeling was the right one.

In the end, he made a decision and bought dozens of raw spirit stones in one go.

Then, he carried all these raw spirit stones to the stone-cutting platform.

People were dumbfounded, and the muscles on their faces twitched.

"Damn, this bear child is really a complete spendthrift!"

"Who gambles on stones like this? Is he trying to cut out spirit crystal stones by luck?"

"If I were his parent, I would beat him to death!"

"What a waste, that's tens of millions of spirit coins, just wasted like that! These dozens of raw spirit stones, now there are only the last two left. Even if you stepped on dog shit luck, it's impossible to see green, hahaha!"

...

People shook their heads one after another, silently mourning for the parents of this bear child. Having such a son would really make them vomit blood.

The several women of the Ancient Stone Gambling Garden looked at each other, somewhat astonished.

"What, are you not convinced? My family has a mine, we don't lack money, what's wrong with that?" Jun Wuxie looked down at everyone, took out a card, handed it to the woman of the Ancient Stone Gambling Garden, and said: "Swipe the card!"

This time it wasn't a black gold card.

The black gold card was too shocking, so he naturally wouldn't use it easily in public. This was a gold card, belonging to the type with a standard of one billion spirit coins.

But even the gold card surprised everyone.

A little brat could take out a gold card, it seemed that his family was indeed not simple.

"Second generation ancestor, relying on some money in your family, you squander it here, and you are still complacent, I really feel sad for your parents."

Some young people who came with their elders to see the world said sourly.

"I like it, being rich means being willful, can't I?"

Jun Wuxie retorted. He was really annoyed.

He was just gambling on stones, and a group of people acted as if he had spent their money, like idiots.

After he finished speaking, he picked up the stone-cutting knife and began to cut the stone.

He cut stones very quickly, not as cautiously as others at all.

This was a matter of mentality.

Others cut stones, full of expectations, with a gambling mentality, each knife carrying a strong desire to see green.

But he didn't.

He was just using the process of elimination.

The stone skin fell rustling down.

A raw spirit stone was quickly cut away, and there was nothing.

The crowd roared with laughter.

He ignored them and continued to cut.

One raw spirit stone after another, all turned into stone chips.

After cutting more than twenty pieces in a row, not to mention cutting out a spirit crystal stone, he didn't even see a little green.

"Hahaha! This spendthrift, did you think gambling on stones was so easy?"

"Seeing the young master of the Mei family cut out a medium-grade spirit crystal stone, he thought he could do it too. This is a typical case of 'if others can do it, so can I', but only after trying it did he realize how naive and childish he was."

"I say, little brat, you should go back to your parents as soon as possible, don't come out and squander your family's property. I guess your parents would vomit blood if they knew?"

"Tsk tsk, more than ten million spirit coins, just wasted by you like that. These dozens of raw spirit stones, now only the last two are left. Even if you stepped on dog shit luck, it's impossible to see green, hahaha!"

"Young friend," the young master of the Mei family sighed, "the art of gambling on stones is profound and not easy. Acting on a whim will only waste spirit coins.

After these last two rough stones are cut, you should go home and not continue.

Did you know that even as the young master of the Mei family, I only managed to have a one-in-ten chance of cutting out spirit crystals after cultivating the Origin Spirit Art until I was fifteen years old.

You have a long way to go, so don't overestimate yourself."
