Cultivation in the city

The place to buy rough stones was recommended by Chen Yan. Duan Xiaolou didn't know much about this kind of place, but for Chen Yan, a second-generation rich man who used to go to various entertainment venues, it was no problem to find a stone gambling house.

Central Continent is located inland, and the stone gambling market has not been fully developed. However, in recent years, with the increase of rough jadeite lovers, this market has gradually been developed.

The shop that Chen Yan took Duan Xiaolou to was called Hongtai Jade Stone Gambling Hall, which was considered a relatively famous store in the local stone gambling circle.

The shop doesn't look big from the outside, but when you walk in, you realize there's something wrong with it.

Duan Xiaolou was always worried about being pinched by Chen Yan, so he didn't talk to him much along the way. When he got to the place and saw those rough stones, he thought that he could get a lot of emeralds through them, and these emeralds could After supporting him for several rounds of research, Duan Xiaolou's mood improved again.

Chen Yan's ability to observe words and expressions is still very strong. Knowing that Duan Xiaolou was not so angry, he asked, "How much and what grade do you want?"

The raw lime with the shell is smooth, no different from ordinary stones, but when he thinks that his formation materials may come from here, Duan Xiaolou can't help but feel that they become beautiful and cute.Hearing Chen Yan's question, he replied: "I want at least two sets of formation base materials for the spirit-gathering protection formation."

In Luoxian Continent, formations consist of formation eyes and formation bases.

Duan Xiaolou planned to use the spirit jade he got from Chen Yan. The base of the formation didn't need to be so good. In order to save the spirit jade, he thought of using ordinary jade.

There are at least three formation bases in the formation, and the number can vary. Some cultivation sects arrange large mountain protection formations, because the area is too wide, and it may be formed by the superimposition of multiple formations.

Duan Xiaolou didn't need much, he just wanted to build a relatively basic spirit-gathering protective array for the Duan family's newly bought villa, and he needed about nine jade tokens.However, in case of engraving or other problems, he wants two spare sets.

Chen Yan didn't know much about how to fight, but he still knew some basic common sense in the cultivation world.In his opinion, the two sets of materials are really not much. Although Duan Xiaolou is very keen on research, he usually looks like his eyes are shining when he sees rare materials, but he is really not greedy.

Chen Yan estimated the approximate amount of jade needed, and then looked around the quality of jade in the store, knowing the bottom line.

He whispered to Duan Xiaolou: "I have taken a fancy to two good rough stones, let's take a look at them later, and then take these two pieces directly."

Duan Xiaolou glanced at him, when did the unruly Red Lotus Yehuo know how to restrain and hide?

Although he felt a little strange in his heart, Duan Xiaolou felt that this was a good thing. He nodded and followed Chen Yan to look around.

Most of the rough stones selected here look like this, look here, look there, even if there are hundreds or thousands of stones, no one chooses them at a glance, most of them are selected after comparing and comparing. One is the most optimistic, so the actions of Duan Xiaolou and Chen Yan are not surprising. At most, someone noticed the appearance and temperament of these two handsome guys and would take a second look.

Chen Yan and Duan Xiaolou took the flashlights provided by the store and looked here and there, studying pine flowers for a while, and python belts for a while, and they still talked logically.If Duan Xiaolou didn't know his own level, he really thought the two of them were experts in this field.

He looked around again, and everyone else was in the same situation as them.

Seeing his doubts, Chen Yan explained in a low voice: "People who come here are either gamblers who want to get rich overnight, or come to see a strange passer-by. No matter what kind of person they are, it is impossible to really understand jade. It is even more impossible to know what kind of wool is good wool. Real experts, like those big jewelers, will not come to this small shop."

The rough stones in this store are all shipped over, and the materials have been selected several times. It's not that there are no good materials in it, but in terms of probability, it has undoubtedly dropped a lot.

Duan Xiaolou didn't know about this. Hearing what Chen Yan said, and then looking at the scene full of excitement around him, he couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous.

But this is the way this world is, as long as the word "gambling" comes into contact with it, there will always be no shortage of gamblers going forward.

Duan Xiaolou and Chen Yan looked around, and finally settled the bill for the two rough stones they had been optimistic about.

After buying the rough stone, you can take it away directly or cut it in the store. The store will charge a certain fee according to the price and size of the rough stone.

Of course, Duan Xiaolou would not cut in the shop, and declined the enthusiastic shop owner. Duan Xiaolou directed the shop assistants to put the stones into the car.

Fortunately, the stones are not particularly big, and they came here by car, otherwise these two stones would be really hard to take back.

Just as the clerk was putting two stones into the small trailer to be transported to the parking lot, a young man and woman stopped them.

"Hello, I don't know how to sell these two stones?" The man among the young couple asked.

Although he tried his best to appear calm, Duan Xiaolou could still see excitement in his eyes.

Could this person see the unusualness of these two rough stones?

"Not for sale." It was Chen Yan who spoke, his tone was cold and hard, and he looked completely non-negotiable.

The other party did not look at Chen Yan, but at the waiter pushing the cart.

"I'm sorry, these two gentlemen have already bought this wool." The waiter had never encountered such a situation before, and he was stunned for a moment before he realized it.

"Sir, we are really interested in these two rough stones." The woman said to Chen Yan in a pleading tone.

The woman looks pretty good, with delicate makeup on her face, and a well-fitting coat, which is quite tasteful.

But just now he dismissed them, and changed his face as soon as he said that he would change his face. Duan Xiaolou couldn't like this kind of person.

"Sorry, this stone is mine." Duan Xiaolou cleared his throat, indicating the stone's ownership.

The two stones cost [-] and [-] yuan each, but they were all paid off by him. This made Duan Xiaolou, who had already spent about the same amount of his pocket money this month, feel distressed.However, thinking that he was about to use this thirteen thousand in exchange for tens of millions of materials, he felt that this small amount of money was not worth worrying about.

"In this way, I'm also a little money-saving expert!" Duan Xiaolou thought with some complacency.

A man and a woman on the opposite side obviously didn't know that Duan Xiaolou had thought about so many messy things in such a short period of time. When they heard that the original stone belonged to Duan Xiaolou, they both turned their eyes to Duan Xiaolou in unison.

Before the two of them could speak, Duan Xiaolou said firmly, "I won't sell it!"

After saying this sentence, Duan Xiaolou felt that his whole body and mind were at ease.

The faces of those two people were blue and red, very ugly.However, the woman's psychological quality is quite good. After being rejected by Duan Xiaolou in this way, she did not leave immediately, but continued to beg: "Little handsome guy, we sincerely want to buy these two pieces of wool, can you see if this is okay? We will pay three times the price to buy the two pieces of wool in your hand!"

The staff next to him couldn't help being fascinated when he heard it. Why didn't he catch up with this good thing of earning [-] yuan just by changing hands?

Duan Xiaolou felt a little ridiculous, the other party looked like "I have lost my money", but actually wanted to take tens of millions from him. How could there be such a cheap good thing in this world?

"If you don't sell it, don't sell it, let's go!" Duan Xiaolou told the brother who delivered the stones to go to the parking lot quickly. I will give it to the other party!

The man and the woman seemed to want to continue entanglement, but they stopped suddenly after a few steps, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if they suddenly saw a cat or a mouse.

Duan Xiaolou took a strange look at the place where they left, but found nothing special, so he looked away.

Three hours later, in a tall building not far from the Stone Gambling Hall.

A man and a woman who stopped Duan Xiaolou and the others from buying wool just now were sitting in a place similar to an interrogation room.

There is nothing spooky here, and it is as clean and tidy as a normal interrogation room, but the wall where the windows are installed is covered with all kinds of strange runes, which looks a little weird.

"The ID of the supernatural person?" asked the middle-aged man sitting opposite the man and woman.

There was silence and no one answered.

The man seemed a little impatient, he tapped on the table lightly, the sound of "knock knock" sounded in the quiet room, giving people an inexplicable sense of oppression.

"I'll ask again, the superhuman ID, if there is no ID, it will be regarded as a wild superhuman or an illegal intruder. Which one do you prefer?"

The two people on the opposite side were startled by the suddenly raised voice of the middle-aged man, and they quickly reported their IDs.

"Middle A02056."

"Middle A04057."

The numbering is based on the place, and "Zhong" stands for "Central Continent", which makes it easier for them to find and record.

The young man next to the middle-aged man immediately typed on the laptop in his hand after hearing their answers. After a while, he raised his head and said, "The identity information is confirmed."

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Just now, the Zhongzhou branch of the supernatural beings detected supernatural fluctuations near the Stone Gambling Hall. The frequency of the supernatural fluctuations is completely consistent with yours. Do you have anything to explain?"

The woman who was interrogated immediately shouted: "My lord, we are wronged. Although the two of us used the power, we did not buy the rough stone."

The young boy was amused by the address of "Master". The elder gave him a sideways glance, and he immediately restrained his expression and sat upright.

The middle-aged man ignored the woman's grievances, and said matter-of-factly: "After investigation, we found that although you have not successfully traded the rough jadeite, you have pestered the customer who bought the rough jade, and your intentions are very obvious. The main reason for calling you this time is Criticism and education are the main focus, so no fines will be issued. I hope you will keep in mind that you are not allowed to use any supernatural means to make profits by gambling, otherwise you will be punished differently according to the amount of profit! If you forget the relevant regulations, please contact us later Remember to ask the front desk staff for an instruction booklet when you leave. Do you remember what I said?"

A man and a woman on the opposite side were as honest as quails. When they heard the middle-aged man's words, they both replied in unison: "Got it."

That upright posture is like a primary school student who is answering the teacher's question, so there is no such thing as arrogance in the stone gambling hall.
