"Eh?"
"Another stone within a stone!"
"It looks like it's true. However, it was a little strange. This yellow soil was wrapped in a hard golden stone skin. It should have been compressed to be smooth and smooth. Why was the surface uneven?”The surrounding Gu Masters were puzzled.
Looking at the yellow mud ball in his hand, Meng Fanchen's expression did not change, but his heart stirred.
He continued to grind. The green light was like water, and the soil turned into powder and fell. There were also many lumps of dirt mixed in the powder soil, which fell onto the pile of stone powder beside his feet.
" Is there really a gu?!" Some Gu Masters saw this and widened their eyes in surprise.
"It's hard to say." Some of them sounded uncertain.
"I feel that there is, there really seems to be a Gu worm.”Someone called out in a low voice.
The yellow ball of soil was gradually reduced to the size of a palm. A man suddenly barged into the tent. I, Li Jin, will buy this dirt ball!"
Meng Fan Chen's hands stopped moving, and for a moment, the Gu Masters in the tent focused their attention on this person.
This person looked young, about twenty to twenty-five years old. He was wearing a golden robe with a silk belt around his waist. There was a square jade piece embedded in the middle of the belt. There was a horizontal jade pattern on the jade piece, forming a rare "one" character. Clearly, this was a Rank one Gu Master.
He was already in his twenties and was still a Rank one Gu Master, it seemed that his aptitude was not that good.
However, this person's status was somewhat special. Seeing this person, the Gu Masters in the tent bowed and said in unison: ""This subordinate greets Second Young Master."
"Second Young Master?"
"He called himself Li Jin just now. Could he be the half-brother of the caravan leader Li Shuai…"
"In that case, this gambling den should be opened by him. However, if he interfered now, it seemed like he had broken the rules of the casino.”The Gu Masters discussed softly.
"Yes, I am the manager of this casino. Little brother, you're already out gambling stones at such a young age. Aren't you afraid that your family will pursue and scold you? I'll pay forty primeval stones for the earth ball in your hand. What do you think? Forty primeval stones is already a lot, there might not be Gu worms inside, but I'm in a good mood today. Since it's your first time gambling stones, I don't want you to lose everything, so I'll give you some money.”Li Jin quickly walked to Meng Fanchen and said.
"Forty primeval stones?" Meng Fanchen raised his brows slightly and glanced at Li Jin from the corner of his eyes. He sneered," Looks like you want to forcefully buy the mud ball and stone in my hands? Forcefully buying would break the casino rules. Moreover, it's on Qingcheng Mountain. Are you trying to bully me, a disciple of Qingcheng, in public?”
"Hmm?" Hearing Meng Fanchen's last words, the other Gu Masters present could not stand it anymore, they could not help but feel a sense of hatred towards the enemy, they all rushed towards Meng Fanchen. His gaze towards Li Jin also became unfriendly.
Li Jin had thought that a sixteen-year-old boy like Meng Fanchen would be easier to deal with. He would be able to move his heart with just a few words. He did not expect Meng Fanchen to be so powerful. With just a few words, he had put him in a disadvantageous position!
Seeing the Gu Masters rushing over, Li Jin's expression changed, he changed his tone and quickly waved his hand: ""Little brother, you misunderstood! I'm the shopkeeper of the gambling den. How can I break my own rules? Then will I still be able to do business in the future? Hehehe. I just wanted to buy it because I found your dirt ball interesting. If you don't want to sell it, then forget it. But if there are no Gu worms later, don't blame me for not warning you in advance.”
Meng Fanchen ignored him. He turned around and focused on rubbing the mud ball in his hand.
His movements were slow and meticulous. After a while, strands of dried mud powder would fall down.
As he moved, a sleeping Gu worm gradually appeared in front of everyone.
"My God, there really are Gu worms!”
" I really got a Gu!!"
"Are you kidding me? You can even gamble on stones like this?”
"This young man is really lucky, he actually used his luck to gamble a Gu.”At once, Gu Masters exclaimed.
The female Gu Master subconsciously covered her mouth, looking at this scene in disbelief. As a shop assistant, she had been to many fake sects along the way. She had met many people of all kinds and countless customers, but she had never seen such a dramatic scene.
"There really are Gu worms!" Li Jin's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he was filled with hatred. He was narrow-minded and easily jealous. His favorite thing to do was to take advantage of others. The most hateful thing was being taken advantage of.
He opened this gambling den and placed a strict spy inside. Once a customer seemed to be about to open a Gu worm, he would appear when he received the news and would usually buy it forcefully.
Right now, Meng Fanchen was in his casino, right under his nose, and he had obtained a Gu worm. Li Jin felt his heart bleeding. What came out was a toad Gu.
Its body was covered in dirt, its belly was light gray, its back was brownish yellow, and it was covered in bumps, which were unique to toads. At first glance, it looked a little terrifying.
It was not big, only the size of a palm. Holding it in his palm was like holding two or three eggs.
Meng Fanchen remained calm as he carefully channeled his True Qi into the toad's body.
Instantly, the toad was refined by him. The Gu worms obtained from breaking the rock were all extremely weak. Not only did he not have much strength left, his will was also in chaos, he had no ability to resist and could be easily refined by the Gu Master.
The Toad Gu was awakened from its slumber by Meng Fanchen. It slowly opened its eyes, its belly slightly bulging as it let out a soft cry.
Croak. Although this voice was soft and weak, it made the expressions of the others present suddenly become very interesting.
The difference in value between a living Gu and a dead Gu was huge.
"It's a live Gu, a live Gu has been opened!!”Someone rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
"This is a wasteland toad. Damn it, it really is a wasteland toad.”Someone recognized the toad Gu and shouted excitedly.
"This young man is really lucky. Why don't I have this luck!" Someone sighed. His emotions were complicated, including envy, jealousy, and hatred.
"Young Master, congratulations. This, this, this is the most precious Gu worm I have seen so far!”The female Gu Master was so excited that she was speechless, her eyes shining brightly.
"It's actually the Wasteland Toad! This was a precious Rank two Gu worm, worth five hundred primeval stones. Damn it, damn it. Someone actually opened such a Gu worm in my shop. I've suffered a huge loss, a huge loss!" Li Jin's face was pale as he glared at the toad. A strong urge surged in his heart, wanting to snatch it over.
However, he knew that he couldn't. If he really did that, he would be courting death. This wasn't the main clan's stockade, but the territory of the Qingcheng Monastery.
"Perhaps I should pay a few dozen more primeval stones and maybe I can get him to transfer it to me. Yes, he was just an apprentice. If I bid a hundred primeval stones, I'm not afraid that he won't be tempted. Why didn't I do that?" Li Jin's chest was filled with annoyance.
"No, maybe this kid doesn't know what's good for him. Although I got this Wasteland Toad, I should be able to buy it at a low price!”A new glimmer of hope appeared in Li Jin's heart.
However, in the next moment, this sliver of hope was mercilessly shattered by Meng Fanchen's words.
Meng Fanchen stared calmly at the wasteland toad in his hand, ignoring the exclamations and envy of the others. He said to Li Jin in a calm tone,"Wasteland Toad, Rank two Gu worm, eat one catty of mud every meal, the more fertile the mud, the better. It was rare, it was a necessary main Gu to refine the earth qi copper toad. The market price was five hundred primeval stones. Li Jin, do you want to buy it?"
" You, actually know so much…" Li Jin's lips trembled. He almost couldn't speak after being hit by such a blow.
Meng Fanchen chuckled and continued,""If you're unwilling, then forget it. I'll sell it to someone else. I believe someone will buy it.”
"Wait, wait. I bought it, I bought it. However, could the price be cheaper?”A bitter smile appeared on Li Jin's face. Meng Fanchen turned around and left.
"Don't!" Li Jin hurriedly chased after him. Don't go. I'll buy it!"
Meng Fanchen did not plan to nurture this wasteland toad. It was a Rank two Gu worm while Meng Fan Chen was only at Rank one initial stage. Although they ate mud, Qingcheng Mountain was covered in green soil, so it was very troublesome to get food.
Furthermore, if he did not sell this toad Gu, Meng Fanchen would have to feed three Gu worms at the same time. Not only did the consumption of primeval stones increase, the primeval stones he currently had were not enough to feed him.
Therefore, Meng Fanchen's goal had always been to sell the wasteland toad and earn 500 primeval stones.
Five hundred primeval stones, to a Rank one initial stage Gu Master like Meng Fan Chen, it was already considered a large sum of money.
The transaction was completed very quickly. Meng Fanchen handed the wasteland toad to Li Jin in front of everyone and accepted five heavy money bags. Each purse contained a full 100 primeval stones.
Meng Fanchen's original wealth was ninety-eight primeval stones. He had spent sixty stones on stone gambling, leaving him with thirty-eight. This way, his wealth instantly increased several times, and he now had 538 primeval stones!
Many Gu Masters saw this scene with their own eyes, their eyes turning red. Meng Fanchen kept the five money pouches and picked up the last piece of Golden Stone before walking out of the tent.
"Little Lord, do you still not understand the remaining stone?”The female Gu Master blinked repeatedly, looking at Meng Fan Chen's back as she reminded him loudly. Meng Fanchen turned a deaf ear and left the gambling den without looking back. Leaving behind a group of stunned Gu Masters, they looked at each other in silence.
