Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1331 The Betting on Stones Begins

The manager of Yongle Casino above said calmly, "The bets have been accepted. The rules are simple: each side will select three star-patterned stones. The side with the highest combined value among the treasures revealed will be the winner of this bet!"

At this point, he said calmly, "Apart from the two people involved in the jade gambling, everyone else, step back!"

In the distance, Ji Wushuang's eyes flashed with light as he said, "Kid, I'll teach you to pretend with me. Do you know who this gentleman beside me is? He's the tenth-ranked Star Pattern Treasure Hunter in the universe! In this universe, when it comes to gambling on stones, there are no more than ten people who can beat him!"

Beside him, Yunyi smiled slightly and said, "You're still young. How can your Holy Rice compare to my Phoenix Sword!"

"Kid!" At this moment, Feng Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Don't be discouraged. Being able to compete with me in the jade gambling arena is an honor for you." Feng Xiao said confidently.

"Tch!" Ye Qing scoffed. "After all that bragging, I thought you were number one! Turns out you're only tenth!"

"Hmph, still being stubborn. I hope you'll still be like this when you lose!" Ji Wushuang said.

"I can't say what will happen if I lose, but I do know that you looked pretty good when you were all flustered just now!" Ye Qing said with a slight smile, "Besides, no one knows what will happen next, so we must always live with hope!"

Ye Qing's last sentence was actually meant for Sun Jie!

He didn't know what happened after Sun Jie went back, but her current state, especially her mental and psychological state, was not good!

As someone who had gone through life and death with her in Silent Hill, Ye Qing still wanted to say a few words of advice to her!

However, it was clear that Sun Jie hadn't heard Ye Qing's words at all; she lowered her eyes and didn't speak!

"Grandpa!" Yunyi stopped arguing with Ye Qing and looked at Feng Xiao beside him, saying, "This gamble depends on you. If we lose the Phoenix Sword, I won't be able to explain to the Emperor, and I'm afraid you won't be able to either!"

"Shame that brat to death!" Ji Wushuang shouted from the side.

"Don't worry!" Feng Xiao nodded and said, "He's not one of the nine ranked ahead of me. Dealing with him is a piece of cake! He's not even qualified to fight me!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Wushuang and Chen Xuan nodded!

They left quickly!

On the other side, Chen Xuan patted Ye Qing on the shoulder and asked, "How confident are you?"

"If you're not sure, do your best and leave the rest to fate!" Ye Qing said.

"Damn it!" Chen Xuan cursed, "But it doesn't matter. Even if we lost, we still won two hundred million today. Today's haul was huge!"

Ye Qing nodded!

He's quite calm about his mindset.

Just as Chen Xuan said, his sacred rice was obtained by accident!

He's like a child you picked up and used as a kicker! He can accept losing!

After all, this is a game of risking big for small gains.

With Chen Xuan and the others gone, only Ye Qing and Feng Xiao remained in the gambling stone market!

Feng Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Ye Qing with a hint of disdain on his face.

"You two, the first round begins! Choose your time: thirty minutes!" Ling Tian announced from above.

"call out!"

"call out!"

Ye Qing and Feng Xiao flew upwards at the same time!

At this moment, the aura of a Venerable One burst forth from Feng Xiao's body.

"Observe the aura!"

His eyes suddenly turned a strange grayish-white color, and at the same time he made a twitch between his nostrils. Ye Qing then clearly felt that there seemed to be a strange power between his noses.

"call!"

"call!"

He was breathing through his nose, and his eyes were looking around.

"The ability to observe qi combined with the ability to smell stones?" Ye Qing paused slightly.

He closed his eyes, adjusted himself to his best condition, and then opened his eyes again.

"Divine Eye, activate!"

Ye Qing's pupils contracted, and he looked around.

He looked around and began to touch each piece one by one.

Texture!

According to the second method recorded in the Qimen Taoist book, the things contained within this star-patterned stone have breath and veins!

Between its breaths, spiritual energy emanates, which can be observed with divine eyes!

You can gain insight by touching the patterns!

By asking about the treasure, a connection can be established. By lighting a lamp, its original appearance can be observed!

The divine eye can lock onto the star-patterned stone to determine if it contains treasure.

By examining the patterns, one can, to some extent, determine the strength or weakness of the treasure within.

The stronger the treasure, the stronger its response to the star-patterned stone.

There are many star-patterned stones here. Ye Qing opened his divine eyes and observed for a while as time passed. He felt that about 20% of them were emitting an aura.

The star-patterned stones from Yongle City are clearly of much higher quality!

Ye Qing no longer hesitated. He floated up, and then true qi circulated around his body as he continuously made grasping motions with his five fingers.

In an instant, dozens of stones floated in front of Ye Qing!

These are all stones that Ye Qing saw, emanating an aura. He is certain that there are treasures among them, but he can't say for sure what those treasures are!

"Feel the patterns!" Ye Qing picked up a stone and carefully examined it.

"Star-patterned stones have their own pulse and rhythm. According to the Qimen Dunjia books, star-patterned stones absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The treasures hidden within them will absorb this energy and transmit it through the star patterns! By touching the stone, one can perceive its strength!"

He closed his eyes, reached out his hand, grasped the first stone, and carefully contemplated its meaning.

However... it's clearly not so easy to get started with pattern making.

Ye Qing did not realize it.

Then Ye Qing abandoned the first piece and grabbed the second one.

Then, the third piece…

Time is passing by, second by second!

Twenty minutes later, Feng Xiao's eyes suddenly narrowed. He reached out and grabbed at the void, and a stone flew rapidly toward him.

He grabbed the stone, brought it close to his nose, and sniffed it carefully. Then he looked in Ye Qing's direction and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

He landed steadily on the ground, slammed the stone onto the table, and said calmly, "I've made my choice!"

After saying that, he looked at Ye Qing and said, "Kid, if you can't choose, then don't choose, just give up!"

Then, he began to verbally attack Ye Qing!

Ye Qing wasn't in a hurry!

He had never felt the pulse of this star-patterned stone. The records in the Qimen Daoist books were very obscure and did not explain how to comprehend this matter.

Therefore, Ye Qing could only rely on himself to figure it out.
