#329 - Laughter
Jun Wuxie noticed that those who were gambling on stones were mostly from quasi-Dominator forces. Besides them, there were a few very old rogue cultivators and the Mei family.
The higher-level forces were all watching the excitement and did not participate.
Clearly, today's grand event was for the raw stones from the ancient Chaos Mine, but those raw stones were too expensive for the higher-level forces to afford.
Each stone cost hundreds of millions of spirit coins, and without rich gambling experience or Original Spirit Arts, the spirit coins would basically be wasted.
Seeing that the people from the various forces had entered,
Jun Wuxie stopped hesitating and walked towards the advanced stone selection area.
Instantly, countless gazes focused on him.
A child actually came to gamble on stones, and at a stone gambling event, competing with the stone gambling experts of various forces?
"Boy, you dare to participate in such an occasion today, you simply don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
When Mei Shaozhu saw Jun Wuxie also walking towards the stone selection area, he couldn't help but sneer.
Thinking of everything that happened yesterday, he couldn't wait to rush up and tear that hateful kid into pieces!
Yesterday's death caused considerable damage to his soul.
Originally, he should have stayed with his family in the outside world for a long time to nourish his soul.
But today's event was too rare.
Being able to witness the people of various forces cutting the raw stones from the ancient Chaos Mine was a rare opportunity for him, who cultivated Original Spirit Arts.
However, forcefully entering the Spirit Void Realm like this would cause even greater damage to his soul.
All of this was brought to him by that damned kid, otherwise, why would he be in this state?
"Whose child is this, causing trouble at the grand urban event?"
A member of the Kaitian Sword Sect frowned slightly. Today's occasion was for experts to compete. Without a hundred years of stone gambling experience, who would dare to make a move?
A little brat of ten years old actually dared to come and gamble on stones?
"Child, who is your guardian?" A member of the Holy Gate looked around and said loudly, "Whose child is this? Quickly take him away, lest he disturb our enjoyment!"
Jun Wuxie stopped, turned around, and said, "I'm spending spirit coins to buy raw stones, it's none of your business. Are you all full and have nothing better to do? Are you not convinced? If you're not convinced, come and gamble on stones!"
"You have no manners, you don't know your place. Do you know who we are, and you dare to talk back?"
The face of a strongman from the Holy Gate was unsightly. Who would dare to disrespect their Holy Gate? This child dared to be so rude!
"Are your brains squeezed by the door?" Jun Wuxie sneered and said, "I'm here to pay and gamble on stones, even the people from the Ancient Stone Workshop haven't said anything, but you are all chirping and crooked here. Did you forget to take your medicine before coming out?"
"You little brat, you need a lesson!"
The Holy Gate expert was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. When had anyone dared to contradict him like this?
In his anger, he was about to make a move.
At this time, on the high platform, the female manager gently tugged on Yu Zhu's sleeve.
"Everyone, today's stone gambling event is open to everyone. Anyone can come to gamble on stones, regardless of age or status. Please do not disturb the order of the stone gambling."
Yu Zhu's voice was very gentle and ethereal, extremely soft, but the Holy Gate expert was shocked, and a look of horror flashed in his eyes.
Just now, at that instant, he felt a wisp of aura lock onto him.
That kind of aura gave him a terrifying feeling that the entire world was crushing down, suffocating him instantly, almost unable to breathe!
Looking at the woman who seemed to have walked out of a painting, he was horrified!
The Holy Maiden of the Ancient Stone Workshop was so strong, far beyond his imagination.
In this Star River Region, if not invincible, it was probably close!
Yan Qingcheng, Shangguan Wanwan, the Ice Cloud Tower Master, and others remained silent.
Today's grand event, a child of ten years old running to gamble on stones, did seem to have the suspicion of causing trouble.
But paying to gamble on stones was justified, and no one had any reason to stop it.
They were a little interested in that child. Whose child was it, so bold as to jump out on such an occasion?
Several sect masters and family heads from other forces were also watching Jun Wuxie, who was walking towards the stone selection area, with great interest.
The crowd was discussing.
"I don't know who the parents of this bear child are, running to this kind of occasion, isn't that just sending spirit coins away?"
"Who says it isn't? A complete prodigal!"
"I think he was spoiled by his family since childhood, spoiled to the point of not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth."
"Who cares, just treat it as a joke."
… …
Everyone was talking at once, and some people in the Kaitian Sword Sect and the Holy Gate had mocking smiles on their lips.
However, several elders from these two major sects were calm, with deep eyes, never uttering a word from beginning to end, very calm.
At this time, in the advanced stone selection area, the stone gamblers of various forces had all walked to the depths.
Their goals were very clear, only interested in the raw stones from the ancient Chaos Mine, not even glancing at the other raw stones.
The discussions gradually subsided.
People's eyes focused on those who were selecting stones in the depths.
The stone gamblers of various forces had their own stone gambling experience and methods.
They carefully identified the raw stones, some checking the natural patterns on the surface of the raw stones; some fluttering their nostrils, seemingly distinguishing the aura of the raw stones; some gently stroking the raw stones with their palms and fingers; some tapping with their knuckles, listening to the sound.
At this time, everyone was surprised to find that the child who entered the stone selection area had actually stopped at the edge and was selecting raw stones in a decent manner.
Everyone was dumbfounded and laughed.
What did a ten-year-old child know about stone gambling? He was just pretending to be serious, making people want to laugh just by looking at him.
Moreover, everyone was in the depths, selecting raw stones from the ancient Chaos Mine, but he was actually selecting spirit stones from the edge.
If he wanted to select those spirit stones, did he need to wait until today's event? He could come to gamble on stones on weekdays.
Su Xiaoxiao was in front of the crowd, carefully staring at Jun Wuxie in the stone selection area.
She bit her little finger, tilted her head slightly, and a trace of light flashed in her eyes from time to time.
That child, why does he look so familiar?
He looks a bit like Brother Jun.
But she quickly denied her own thoughts.
Brother Jun doesn't know how to gamble on stones, how could he run to this stone gambling event to gamble on stones?
At this time, Jun Wuxie frowned slightly. He kept walking back and forth on the edge, selecting one stone after another.
In several raw stones, he had captured the special aura that seemed to contain spirit crystal stones.
But his purpose today was not for spirit crystal stones.
Yesterday, the abnormal reaction of the Longevity Lock, why is it suddenly gone today?
Could it be that the raw stone that caused the Longevity Lock to react yesterday has been moved away by the Ancient Stone Workshop?
"Everyone, please hurry up, each stone selection time limit is half an hour, and there is not much time left."
The celestial voice of the Holy Maiden Yu Zhu sounded.
As soon as she finished speaking, someone walked out holding a raw stone with one hand.
One after another, the stone gamblers of various forces had selected their raw stones.
The old man from the Mei family walked out of the stone selection area holding a raw stone that was larger than a table.
All the stone gamblers stopped at the stone cutting table, put down the raw stones in their hands, and began to pay the spirit coins required to purchase the raw stones.
Jun Wuxie was still selecting stones.
He always felt that something was wrong.
When he walked past a certain long strip-shaped raw stone, his heart suddenly shook.
He was about to walk past it, but suddenly stopped!
The Longevity Lock had a reaction!
It was trembling slightly, and a faint, strange feeling was transmitted to his heart.
"This raw stone…"
He squatted down and carefully stroked the long strip-shaped raw stone in front of him.
This raw stone was very inconspicuous, and the surface was even covered with cracks.
The entire raw stone was about two meters long, half a meter wide and high.
He immediately merged his military intent and Primordial True Eye to study it carefully.
But inside the raw stone, he couldn't feel any aura.
The feeling this raw stone gave him was no different from ordinary stones.
"What's going on, could it be that my Primordial True Eye and military intent perception have failed?"
While shocked, he felt very strange.
Raw stones and ordinary stones naturally have a huge difference.
Even if no spirit crystal stones had been produced inside the raw stone, it was impossible to say that there was not a trace of aura.
All raw stones have a special aura, and it is precisely because raw stones have this aura that confuses stone gamblers, so stone gambling is very difficult.
The raw stone in front of him was really too ordinary.
If things are abnormal, there must be demons!
Moreover, the Longevity Lock had reacted.
"Hey, time is almost up, little kid, have you chosen yet?"
"Hahaha!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
No one believed that a child could gamble on stones. Seeing him squatting there, looking serious, they couldn't help but tease him.
Jun Wuxie ignored the ridicule of the crowd.
He picked up the stone in front of him, held it up with one hand, and walked out.
"Cracked stone?"
When everyone saw the raw stone in his hand, they were stunned at first, and then burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, you actually chose a cracked stone!"
"This price… I went, it's actually two million spirit coins!"
"Buying a cracked stone for two million spirit coins, are you kidding me?"
"Child, don't you know that it's impossible to cut anything out of a cracked stone?"
"The stone skin is covered with cracks, and they are so deep. If there were really spirit crystal stones, even a fool could feel the spiritual energy fluctuations, would it still be your turn to choose it?"
"He's really a prodigal, tsk tsk…"
People were laughing. They had known for a long time that the child couldn't gamble on stones, but they didn't expect him to be so stupid. He spent two million to buy a cracked stone?
