Nine Stars Killer Novel - Chapter 597
Chapter 597 Top-grade Spirit Stones
The higher the price, the higher the chances of obtaining spirit stones. Many times, high-grade spirit stones could be cut out from cheap stones. Everything depended on luck.
Very often, the Jade Twin Pavilions purposely mixed up their eyes and priced some huge stones at a very high price, cutting them out to be a pile of rubbish. This was not uncommon.
However, it was even rarer for Ye Feng to choose such a small stone to cut out high-grade spirit stones. Therefore, when Ye Feng chose this stone, even Dream Severing, who was behind him, shook his head.
As for the others, they had long hissed and didn’t understand Ye Feng’s criteria for choosing stones. However, this was their own stake, so it was hard for everyone to participate.
In just the time it took to make a cup of tea, Qian Qiong had already chosen four stones, big and small. Each of them glowed with a faint cyan light. From the looks of it, the price tag was very expensive. Just these four giant stones alone, the price had reached more than 10 million Fortune Pills.
If he couldn’t cut out the spirit stones, the ten million plus Good Fortune Pills would be wasted. If he cut out a top grade spirit stone, not only would he not lose, he would also earn a huge profit.
If he cut out dozens of high-grade spirit stones, it could only be considered saturated. This was gambling stones. One blade heaven, one blade hell. The winning basin was filled with bowls, and the entire family was ruined!
Ye Feng was not in a hurry. He had already chosen the second stone. This stone was extremely large, about two people tall. The price was ridiculously high. It was actually priced at five million Fortune Pills.
“I’ll choose you!”
Ye Feng took out five million Good Fortune Pills and bought this spirit stone.
“This brat is crazy. Even the country elder is not sure about this stone. He tried to buy it several times, but eventually gave it up. He thinks that this stone is just a hollow piece of material. Even though it’s big, it might just be a hollow piece of material!”
Because the stone Ye Feng chose was simple and unadorned, he could not see any signs of spirit stones. It was uneven and lacked any luster. Normally, the giant stones contained spirituality and nourished the giant stones. The surface was very smooth.
Ignoring the discussions in the surroundings, Ye Feng continued to choose stones. The third stone was also quickly settled. It was similar to the stone Ye Feng cut out of the sword stone. The price was not very high, it was 100,000 Good Fortune Pills.
Qian Qiong’s fifth stone was finally confirmed, and it finally reached 15 million Good Fortune Pills. This disciple of a large sect was good, and he didn’t lack any resources in the slightest.
In the end, everyone’s eyes fell on Ye Feng to see how to choose the last two stones.
“Kid, stop pretending. Hurry up and choose!”
Qian Qiong was already standing in the stone cutting area, looking at Ye Feng who was still choosing, showing a mocking expression.
“If you’re not in a hurry to lose, then shut up honestly!”
Ye Feng coldly looked at each other, ignoring Qian Qiong and continuing to choose stones.
Almost a thousand stones, Ye Feng swept through them one by one, not letting one go. After about half an hour, Ye Feng chose five stones.
“Alright, your selection is over. Now, you can cut apart a huge boulder!”
Since Elder Guo was a Witness, he stood up and presided over the gambling. The two of them could each choose a stone and cut it out to see who could cut out higher-grade spirit stones.
The first stone cut by Ye Feng was an inconspicuous stone. The biggest stone and the smallest stone that everyone disliked just now, Ye Feng intended to stay at the end.
“You can cut stones now!”
As soon as the elder finished speaking, the two of them raised their sabers and the broken stones fell one by one. The huge stones quickly shrunk by a large circle, revealing the stone core bit by bit.
Qian Qiong was worthy of being an expert in cutting stones. In the blink of an eye, he was only one person tall. He was only half a meter tall. He could already feel the Spiritual Qi leaking out of his body.
“Spiritual Qi is coming out. Look, Qian Qiong’s giant boulder is releasing Spiritual Qi!”
Before it could be completely cut open, Spiritual Qi had already leaked out, proving that it definitely contained high-grade spirit stones. This Qian Qiong’s first giant stone had already cut out high-grade spirit stones, causing many people to be extremely jealous.
“Kacha!”
As Qian Qiong raised his saber, the boulder completely leaked out in front of everyone. More than twenty high-grade spirit stones were placed neatly on the ground, and two of them were of very high grade, close to top-grade spirit stones.
“Qian Qiong’s first boulder cut out twenty high-grade spirit stones!”
Elder Guo first announced the results of Qian Qiong’s first piece, then everyone looked towards Ye Feng, wanting to see what Ye Feng could cut out from the first piece.
Seeing Ye Feng’s calm expression, Qian Qiong revealed a look of disdain, believing that Ye Feng was pretending.
“Kaka!”
When the short blade landed, Ye Feng’s first boulder was completely broken open, revealing traces of spiritual energy.
“High-grade spirit stones, he actually cut out high-grade spirit stones!”
Many people also began to cheer. Ye Feng also cut out the first high-grade spirit stone, depending on whose quantity was better.
“Brother Ye, cut out ten high-grade spirit stones first. Qian Qiong leads in the first round!”
The corner of Ye Feng’s mouth revealed a trace of a smile. Being able to cut out high-grade spirit stones was extremely satisfied. This was only the first round. There were five rounds to be played in the competition, and the total number of wins was greater than the total number of losses.
“Kid, if you admit defeat now, I can spare you once. As long as you bark like a dog in front of everyone, I can forget about the past!”
Seeing that Ye Feng’s first boulder had only cut out ten high-grade spirit stones, Qian Qiong couldn’t help but sneer. He thought that Ye Feng was also a blind cat that had crashed into a dead mouse.
“Thank you for your kindness. I have a strange temper. It’s just that I won’t die until I reach the Yellow River, so it’s better to continue competing!”
Ye Feng did not speak too much and could only see a strange smile on the corner of his mouth.
The Divine Duanmu Needle had long since seeped into the boulders that Qian Qiong had chosen, and it was as clear as the palm of its hand about what was happening inside.
“Start cutting the second stone now!”
The first round of winning or losing could not decide anything. Only after the five dollars were all over could one decide who would win and who would lose.
Qian Qiong was still so skilled in cutting stones. He raised his saber and dropped pieces of broken stones the size of a bowl. Just now, the boulders were only half a person tall. Soon, they were only the size of a bucket and had shrunk by a circle.
Ye Feng was still in no hurry, as if nothing could control Ye Feng’s temperament. Even though there were waves of disdain coming from all around, Ye Feng still did as he pleased, cutting stones in an orderly manner.
“Kacha!”
With another cracking sound, Qian Qiong was the first to cut out spirit stones. There was a layer of spirit stones on the ground, dozens of which emitted white light.
The elder went forward to inspect the stone. Many people stretched their necks and were shocked by Qian Qiong’s methods. Many of them had cut it many times and returned without success. The two giant stones before and after Qian Qiong had all been cut out of spirit stones. The talent of gambling stones made many people extremely envious.
This time, Ye Feng was a bit faster than last time. With the previous example, Ye Feng gradually became skilled in cutting stones.
With a cracking sound, Ye Feng’s boulder was completely untied, and a ray of light shone out.
“Top-grade spirit stones!”
The entire Jade Twin Pavilions was shocked. This was a light that could only be emitted from top-grade spirit stones. Ye Feng actually cut out a top-grade spirit stone. This was too inconceivable.
The corners of Elder Guo’s eyes twitched. He was completely convinced by Ye Feng’s luck. If he could cut out a Spirit Stone once, it was luck. However, Ye Feng had already cut out different Spirit Stones three times in a row. This was not simple.
The first sliced out a rare sword stone. Although the second sliced out a dozen high-grade spirit stones, it was countless times stronger than those waste stones.
Qian Qiong’s expression instantly changed. He had cut stones for several years, but he hadn’t cut out top-grade spirit stones. At most, it was top-grade spirit stones. What kind of luck did this Ye Feng have to cut out top-grade spirit stones?
The dense Spiritual Qi was being emitted, covering every inch of space. In fact, the Spiritual Qi stored in the high-grade Spiritual Stones not far away was being absorbed by the top-grade Spiritual Stones. This was how big fish eat small fish. The top-grade Spiritual Stones were already able to absorb Spiritual Qi on their own.
Ye Feng waved his hand, and a restriction appeared, sealing the spirit stones. All the spirit energy disappeared, and the top grade spirit stones were enveloped in a transparent light barrier.
“In the second round, Qian Qiong sliced out 30 high-grade spirit stones, and Brother Ye sliced out a top-grade spirit stone!”
The country elder announced the results of the second round.
A top-grade spirit stone was worth over a thousand high-grade spirit stones. If Qian Qiong could not cut out top-grade spirit stones from behind, he would be able to defeat Qian Qiong safely with just this top-grade spirit stone.
But the game is not over, anything is possible.
“Let’s continue!”
The country elder also calmed down and announced that he would continue the competition. After all, there were still three pieces left. If Qian Qiong also cut out a top-grade spirit stone, Ye Feng would be at a disadvantage.
Qian Qiong’s expression became incomparably solemn, and the speed at which the short blade cut down also slowed down a lot, imitating Ye Feng’s appearance.
The third stone was quickly lifted up. This one of Ye Feng’s was not very tall. It was only about a meter tall, and it was very smooth. This stone was the most unpredictable one for Ye Feng.
When the Divine Needle of Duanmu entered, it felt misty inside and couldn’t feel the spiritual energy. However, there was a mystery in this huge rock that made people unable to figure it out. After weighing it, Ye Feng finally bought it and wanted to see what was going on.
“Wow, there’s spiritual energy coming out. What dense spiritual energy!”
Ye Feng’s side had just begun, Qian Qiong’s side had already released spiritual energy, and the spiritual energy was very dense.
“This is a top-grade spirit stone. It must be a top-grade spirit stone!”
Many people cried out in alarm. This was an aura that could only be emitted from top-grade spirit stones. Qian Qiong revealed an excited smile. As long as he cut out top-grade spirit stones, he would be able to defeat Ye Feng.
“Kakaka!”
The crushed stones split apart one by one, and fist-sized top-grade spirit stones appeared. They emitted a dense light, even purer than the one Ye Feng had just used.
With the restriction placed, the top-grade spirit stones were controlled, and the spirit energy inside could not be emitted.
The situation of gambling on stones had already been spread out. Many people came to watch. When they cut out two top-grade spirit stones, those who were watching were also eager to buy stones, hoping to get lucky.
It was a pity that their good fortune was not related to them. Many people were extremely annoyed by the appearance of waste stones one by one. Why could the two of them cut out top-grade spirit stones while they could only cut out waste stones?
The appearance of two top-grade spirit stones in a row had already attracted everyone’s attention, including the Jade Twin Pavilions. This was something that had never happened before.
In the end, everyone looked at Ye Feng and saw that Ye Feng’s boulder did not emit any spiritual energy, but a layer of mist, revealing a strange feeling, causing people to feel very uncomfortable.
Chi!
The boulder suddenly split open and a scarlet gas shot out.
