Lan Wan’er, along with two maidservants with stead buns and dumplings and Si Wuyou the follower, was startled and hastily set up the light and chased after them.
In the sky, Wang Licui’s reassuring voice sounded: "Senior Brother Qingyuan, don’t worry, Sister Water Moon is a good person, she won’t harm ."
The face of Saint Qingyuan changed a few tis, but ultimately he couldn’t rest assured and flew after them.
His junior sister was just too naive; how could she believe Water Moon’s nonsense?
Seeing the three leave one after another, the onlookers finally breathed a sigh of relief, then exchanged glances and couldn’t help but laugh.
"Pfft! Who would have thought the elegant and graceful Saint Qingyuan would also have monts of being so enraged~~"
"Tsk tsk tsk~ Saint Qingyuan is so well-cultured, probably only the Saintess of Water Moon can infuriate him like this."
"Today’s events are truly interesting; I must go back and chat with my senior brothers about it~~"
As the discussions continued, the crowd gradually dispersed, and the street soon returned to its previously bustling appearance.
...
The center of the Ruins Market.
This is the busiest place in the entire Ruins Market, with many Sacred Races or the Heavenly Abode stalls nearby.
Of course, compared to the stalls set up by the disciples themselves on the outskirts, these stalls by the Sacred Race or the Heavenly Abode are much more luxurious. For example, the Si Family directly took out an already refined Moving Immortal Pavilion, enlarged it, placed it on the stall, then set up tables and chairs, turning it into a ready-made restaurant.
Other Heavenly Abodes and Sacred Races similarly showed their divine skills, making a series of preparations in advance and using various ans to set up their stalls, which all appeared particularly high-end, showcasing their own heritage in various unintentional details.
But in this area of glittering Immortal Pavilions, there was an anomaly.
It was a stall manned by an old man in a tattered robe, with a sowhat wretched look. He occupied a large stall by himself, with a pile of variously sized "stones" near the stall.
These stones varied in color, their surfaces dense and solid with various mottled patterns, looking quite inconspicuous.
But those who have worked in a Spirit Stone mine or are insiders know that these are all Spirit Stone Raw Ore. The structure of a Spirit Stone Vein is complex; so Spirit Stone Raw Ore has manifest spiritual energy, making it easy to discern the quantity, quality, etc., of the Spirit Stones contained within.
But there are also fewer Spirit Stone Raw Ore structures that are sealed, with core Spirit Stones hidden within chunky Spirit Jade and thick surfaces, able to isolate God Sense detection. Even with a perspective eye, one cannot see through the mysteries within.
Only by cutting them open can one discover the quality of the Spirit Stones hidden inside; it might be trash Spirit Stones, or it might contain precious top-quality Spirit Stones or even Immortal Spirit Stones!
Precisely because of the special nature of these fewer Spirit Stone Raw Ore, they have spawned a special activity—that is, [Gambling Stone].
There is Gambling Stone in the Divine Martial World, and Wang Shouzhe has profited from it before, but the scale of Gambling Stone in the Divine Martial World is very small, and the Spirit Stones that can be opened from the Spirit Stone Raw Ore are just ordinary Spirit Stones. With the Wang family’s current financial resources, sweeping the world’s Gambling Stone scene is but this.
"New Spirit Stone Raw Ore, buying ans profit." The wretched old man sorted the Spirit Stone Raw Ore before him while shouting, "One cut makes a profit, ten cuts make wealth, a hundred cuts can beco immortal. All young brothers and sisters, don’t miss out as you pass by."
In the Profound Martial World, there are those with firm beliefs, and naturally, there are also so who are addicted to shortcuts.
And sure enough.
Many young people attending the Ten Thousand Laws Grand eting couldn’t resist the temptation and began to play the Gambling Stone. Those who won were overjoyed, shouting and attracting many spectators, while those who lost blushed and felt dissatisfied.
The wretched old man was evidently well versed in human nature. Seeing that many had lost much and wanted to stop, he secretly took out so half-manifest Spirit Stone Raw Ore that had been appraised and cleverly swapped them, allowing the placed bets to make a small profit after the cut, then issuing nonsense about things like nobleman’s bad luck dissipating, fortune changing for the better.
Naturally, this caused the other party to increase their bets continuously, ultimately losing so much they were in debt, even mortgaging Divine Spiritual Treasure and the like.
"Cai Youdao, so it is you."
Just as a crowd of suddenly rich and suddenly poor cultivators surrounded the stall amidst all the liveliness, a female voice full of angry intent suddenly echoed from the sky.
The crowd instinctively looked up and saw the unrestrained Saintess of Water Moon, clad in a red battle dress, descend from the sky with Wang Licui.
Faces changed, and they instinctively stepped back, giving the Saintess of Water Moon space.
As soon as she saw the wretched old man, the Saintess of Water Moon beca filled with extre anger: "Wretched old cheat of greedy no way, you actually dare to appear before ?"
She was initially intending to take Wang Licui to the Si Family stall, but unexpectedly saw this old cheat on the way and imdiately veered and landed.
"Oh my! Isn’t this Your Highness, Saintess of Water Moon~" The wretched old man Cai Youdao saw it was her and couldn’t help but laugh, "Look at your words. I, Cai Youdao, am proper and legitimate in running a Gambling Stone stall, earning so hard money. It’s not just appearing before you; even going to that Primordial Taoist Palace, my heart wouldn’t falter."
"Perhaps you’ve forgotten?" The Saintess of Water Moon was getting angry, "Just three years ago, you conned out of no less than nineteen Immortal Spirit Stones!"
"Your Highness, Saintess, you mustn’t wrong a person." Cai Youdao imdiately appeared greatly aggrieved, crying to the crowd around him, "Everyone, bear witness. This Gambling Stone, it’s a matter of winning and losing, reliant on luck, who loses and then claims con? Oh, even Saint Qingyuan is here; you are a reasonable person, do give the old man so justice."
