Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 595
Chapter 595 Bet On
Ye Feng frowned slightly. Although his divine sense could not be weakened much when he entered Qinli Middle Continent, it was not so much that he could not even penetrate a boulder.
“Brother Ye, do you want to use your divine sense to infiltrate? Do you want to see if there are spirit stones inside?”
Seeing that Ye Feng frowned slightly, Dream Severing asked.
Ye Feng nodded without denying it.
“This is the peculiarity of gambling stones. Stones that possess spirituality cannot be penetrated by divine sense. Some of them have been tampered with by the Jade Twin Pavilions and some restrictions have been placed on them. In fact, they are all useless stones that confuse everyone!”
Dream Severing said.
Once a spirit stone was contained, one’s divine sense would not be able to penetrate deep into it, proving that there was a spirit stone inside. As for whether it was a high-grade spirit stone or not, no one knew. If it was a middle-grade spirit stone, it would also prevent one’s divine sense from entering. There was also a possibility that the Jade Twin Pavilions had deliberately deceived everyone. They had used restrictions on the giant stone to deceive everyone, believing that it contained spirit stones.
“Since that’s the case, why didn’t the Jade Twin Pavilions mine it themselves? Why did they have to auction it? Those experts shouldn’t be so troublesome, right?”
Ye Feng still couldn’t figure out why some experts would come here to look for high-grade spirit stones if they could split it with a single palm.
“You don’t know that. Many of the spiritual veins in Qinli Middle Continent are controlled by those great powers, especially the high-grade spiritual veins. Even if the high-grade spiritual stones are extracted, they will rarely flow out. All of them will be digested by the major sects themselves.”
“Secondly, they will also take out some huge stones that don’t look good and sell them for a good price. If they can’t extract the spirit stones, wouldn’t it be a waste? If they sell them like this, they will be able to obtain a lot of resources.”
At this point, Dream Severing shook his head. This was the reality. It was extremely cruel. Some large sects took out large stones that had been eliminated and sold them to the Jade Twin Pavilions. After all, not everyone had access to high-grade spirit stones. This gambling stone gave everyone another path. After all, there was still a chance to mine high-grade spirit stones.
Ye Feng nodded. It seemed that this was the benefit of a large sect. They enjoyed the best resources and could sell the rest of the garbage to those second-rate forces. They would naturally go crazy and snatch it. They hoped that they could gamble and even buy top-grade spirit stones.
“Brother Ye, don’t underestimate these boulders. There were times when those large sects had miscalculated. There were people who had cut out top-grade spirit stones, and there were quite a few of them. They were a sensation!”
Seeing Ye Feng’s disappointed expression, Dream Severing continued.
As he walked, Ye Feng walked to a huge boulder that was more than one person tall and stood down. He reached out and knocked on it, then lowered his head to ponder.
Dream Severing did not interrupt. Looking at Ye Feng’s frown, Ye Feng probably found some clues.
“Wow, it’s actually a high-grade spirit stone!”
Just as Ye Feng was knocking on the boulder, a boiling sound came from the other side. Many people gathered to watch. Ye Feng put away his palm and looked over. He saw that Qian Qiong had just untied a boulder and obtained more than ten high-grade spirit stones from it. He had gained quite a lot.
“Reward!”
Qian Qiong was very happy. He hurriedly offered a reward. All the people who came to congratulate him received a reward one after another. Immediately, many praise voices appeared.
Looking at Ye Feng, Qian Qiong stretched out his middle finger and made an extremely provocative gesture.
A trace of killing intent flashed in Ye Feng’s eyes, and he quickly concealed it. This was the Jade Twin Pavilions, and Ye Feng did not dare to make a move so as to avoid exposing his horse’s feet and continuing to use his divine sense to penetrate into this huge rock.
“Duanmu Divine Needle!”
Ye Feng quietly used the Duanmu Divine Needle and turned it into a thin thread. The giant rock was actually unable to block it, and the Duanmu Divine Needle quickly penetrated into it.
In just a breath’s time, Ye Feng drew an arc at the corner of his mouth, revealing a smile. The Duanmu Divine Needle returned to Ye Feng’s soul sea. No one knew about all of this.
Ye Feng waved his hand and a young girl walked over.
“Young Master, what instructions do you have?”
The young girl was blessed.
“I want this boulder!”
Ye Feng said.
“Young Master, please hand over 100,000 Good Fortune Pills.”
Every boulder has a price tag.
A hundred thousand Good Fortune Pills was an enormous amount. After all, it was unknown if this giant stone could be mined out of high-grade spirit stones. Once it was a waste stone, the hundred thousand Good Fortune Pills would be wasted.
“This is 100,000! Have someone carry it out!”
Ye Feng took out 100,000 Good Fortune Pills.
Soon, a few large men walked over and carried the boulder to a place where it was specially cleared. There were many people surrounding them. Just now, Qian Qiong took out the high-grade spirit stones, and the onlookers dispersed. Qian Qiong was also among them, looking at Ye Feng with a faint smile.
He had seen this boulder before. He had tried it several times, but there was nothing strange about it. He was actually attracted to it by Ye Feng.
Taking out the short blade, Ye Feng shattered the stones bit by bit and removed some unimportant stones from the surface. Only in this way could he know if there were any spirit stones inside.
Actually, at their current realm, they could completely split open the boulder with a single palm strike. However, that would reduce the excitement. After all, this was a hundred thousand Fortune Pills. Of course, they did not wish to let this palm strike down.
“Hahaha, it looks like a chick. Judging from his appearance, he’s just a newbie. He actually dares to gamble on stones!”
Someone laughed out loud. Because Ye Feng’s posture of shattering stones was not standard, Ye Feng was simply holding a dagger and cutting stones randomly. How could he have the grace to cut stones?
Facing the mocking sounds from the surroundings, Ye Feng ignored them and continued to cut the broken stones. Just now, it was only a person-tall boulder. Soon, it was only the size of a washbasin, and the ground was covered with broken stones.
The smile on Qian Qiong’s face became even more intense. He still couldn’t see any spirit stones. They must be useless stones. Even if they could be mined, they were only palm-sized spirit stones. A hundred thousand Fortune Pills would definitely be useless.
Not to mention Qian Qiong, Dream Severing also revealed a trace of regret on his face. However, it didn’t matter. This was Ye Feng’s first time gambling on stones. Failure was very normal, so he would treat it as an exercise.
“Forget it, stop pretending. Even if you cut it down, you won’t be able to cut out any spirit stones!”
When cutting stones, Ye Feng did not use his True Essence. He was also tired of sweating. He hurriedly wiped his sweat. At this time, Qian Qiong did not forget to speak with a tone of shock.
“Oh, then do you dare to bet with me? I bet there are spirit stones inside!”
Ye Feng put down the dagger in his hand and looked at Qian Qiong with a playful smile.
A smile appeared on Qian Qiong’s face. He was waiting for Ye Feng’s words. It was meaningless to gamble on stones alone. Since Ye Feng took the initiative to provoke him, how could he refuse?
“Kid, I admire your courage. Since you want to bet, if I don’t accompany you, wouldn’t that be disappointing? Then I’ll bet that there’s nothing inside!”
Although Qian Qiong really wanted to see Ye Feng make a fool of himself, he still pretended to be helpless, as if Ye Feng had taken the initiative to gamble with him and he had invited him passively.
“Then I’ll bet that there are high-grade spirit stones inside, but an existence that is close to top-grade spirit stones!”
How could Ye Feng not see through Qian Qiong’s conspiracy? Didn’t he want to see him make a fool of himself and not expose him?
“How ridiculous! This kid must be crazy! Qian Qiong is an expert gambler! He actually dares to bet with him!”
Some people thought that Ye Feng was crazy. Just now, Qian Qiong just mocked them. There was no need to expand the matter. Wasn’t this self-humiliation?
“What do you want to bet on!”
The smile on Qian Qiong’s face grew stronger and stronger. If Ye Feng said that the bet was a middle-grade spirit stone, Qian Qiong was still very worried. After all, it was possible to cut out a middle-grade spirit stone, but Ye Feng actually said that it was close to a top-grade spirit stone. This was simply ridiculous. Therefore, Qian Qiong wanted to know what Ye Feng wanted to bet on.
“The loser will learn to bark three times in public. What do you think?”
Ye Feng asked. The losing side actually had to learn to bark three times. For disciples of large sects like them, sometimes barking like a dog was even more uncomfortable than killing them.
Qian Qiong’s expression instantly darkened. If he won, it would be good. The other party was a nobody. Even if he barked like a dog, no one knew who they were. If he lost and barked like a dog in front of so many people, wouldn’t he be thrown into the face of the entire Heavenly Quan Academy? Qian Qiong had to think about it.
“What? Are you scared? If you don’t dare to bet, get lost!”
Ye Feng told them to scram away when the other party came in and counterattacked back, naked counterattacking.
“Alright, I’ll gamble with you. Since you’re willing to bark like a dog, how can I not help you!”
Qian Qiong smiled. He seemed to think that he was going to win.
“Your words are groundless. You’d better have a witness!”
Ye Feng did not believe that once this Qian Qiong lost, he would not renege on his debt, so he hoped that there would be witnesses.
“Let this old man be a witness!”
At this time, an old man around fifty walked over. He was dressed in grey. However, when he looked carefully, the old man’s body revealed a sense of vicissitudes. It did not match this grey clothes very well. It seemed ordinary, but in fact, it was extraordinary. This was the first impression Ye Feng had of the old man.
“Grandmaster Gambling Stone Country Elder!”
Someone cried out in alarm. It seemed that this old man’s status was not ordinary.
Even Qian Qiong was very polite when he saw this, reverence appearing on his face.
“Thank you, Old Zhang!”
Seeing the old man walk over, Ye Feng clenched his fist, because he believed that this old man was intuitive, not for anything else.
“Young man, don’t worry, I won’t take sides with anyone!”
Judging from the situation, Ye Feng was at a disadvantage. After all, he was weak on his own and his reputation was not as famous as Qian Qiong. In such a place, it was easy for him to suffer a loss.
“Hurry up and start!”
Some people couldn’t wait any longer. They hoped that Ye Feng would quickly cut off the broken stones beneath them. This way, they would know that there were no spirit stones inside. They also hoped to see someone barking like a dog. No matter who won, there would always be people barking like dogs in public. Those who watched the fun would ignore this.
At this moment, the most anxious thing was Dream Severing. It was already too late to stop Ye Feng. He could only pray that Ye Feng could really unlock the high-grade spirit stones. In this way, he would win the bet.
In everyone’s sight, Ye Feng picked up the dagger. This time, he was obviously much more careful. He peeled off the broken stones on the surface layer bit by bit. Just now, it was only the size of a washbasin. Now, it was smaller, but there was still no sign of the spirit stones.
The smile on Qian Qiong’s face grew thicker and thicker. Normally speaking, it was impossible to extract spirit stones from such a large boulder. Some old gamblers shook their heads. It seemed that this was also a useless stone. Ye Feng had lost this gamble, and he had even lost completely. He was afraid that his entire life would be wasted.
Only Ye Feng was calm and composed. There was only one person present who stared fixedly at Ye Feng. That was the Grandmaster Gambling Stone Country Elder. It was not Ye Feng’s action of cutting stones, but Ye Feng’s temperament. No matter what, Ye Feng’s temperament had not changed. Even he was ashamed of being inferior to this temperament.
The knife in his hand fell, and another piece of broken stone was peeled off.
Chi!
A streak of sword qi appeared, piercing everyone present to the point that they were unable to open their eyes. A ray of light shot out from the crack.
