Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1323 Did something come out of the cut?

The three of them visited seven or eight shops in a row. Ye Qing didn't stay at any of them for long. These seven or eight shops had various prices for loose stones, with some priced at five million and others as low as six hundred thousand.

At this moment, Ye Qing and his two companions entered a gambling den called "Wanying"!

This gambling den is considered quite large for the area.

There were quite a few people inside.

In the middle, there was a large pile of star-patterned stones, with a sign next to them saying that each stone was worth 500,000.

Because it's relatively cheap, many people hoping to try their luck are also studying it here.

When Ye Qing arrived at the front, just like in other gambling dens, almost no one was willing to come over and greet him after seeing him choose these broken star-patterned stones.

Ye Qing didn't seem to mind, and Gerong and Chen Xuan waited silently.

Ye Qing activated his divine eye once more, silently observing the stones.

Ye Qing observed for a few minutes.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, he felt a glimmer of light flash before his eyes, but it disappeared quickly.

"Found it!" Ye Qing kept his divine eye activated and continued his search.

However, his divine eyesight was only at a beginner level, and he couldn't completely distinguish anything. He could only keep searching and waiting.

While maintaining his divine vision, Ye Qing looked at the star-patterned stones that were stored separately. Only a small portion of them emitted a luster!

Gambling on jade stones: one cut can make you rich or poor!

Ye Qing stared intently, examining each piece one by one!

More than ten minutes have passed.

Beside them, Gerong and Chen Xuan were both slightly taken aback, realizing that this was the longest Ye Qing had ever done.

They all became somewhat curious.

Ye Qing searched for a long time, and finally, he saw a flash of fiery red light on a stone.

"This is it!" Ye Qing's heart skipped a beat.

He quickly identified the stone, but instead of rushing to take it, he picked it up piece by piece and examined it.

After touching it for another ten minutes or so, he picked up the stone he had finally set his sights on and weighed it in his hand.

In fact, while touching the stones, Ye Qing was also sensing the direction of their patterns.

What's the difference between a stone with a treasure and one without?

Then, by using the technique of touching the patterns, we can continue to make judgments!

According to Big Yellow Dog, even Zhang Tianlin, who had mastered four stone-cutting skills, had times when he made mistakes and lost money.

Ye Qing still needs to spend a lot of time researching.

He weighed it in his hand for a moment, then said, "This one will do!"

Gerong quickly came over and asked, "Sir, have you thought this through? If this 500,000 blue crystal yields nothing, it will all be for nothing."

Ye Qing nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"

"Let's go over there to pay for the stone cutting!" Gerong said, leading Ye Qing to the other side.

There were three or four people sitting over there. When they saw Ye Qing bring the stone over, one of them immediately closed his eyes and said, "It's another piece of trash stone from over there. It's such a waste of my energy!"

"There are always some blind fools who dream of getting rich overnight." Another person scoffed.

Another old man stood up and said, "I'll cut the stone for you. Five hundred thousand, plus a cutting fee of ten thousand!"

Ye Qing looked at Gerong, who nodded and said, "This is the going rate!"

"Okay!" Ye Qing nodded and handed over the money.

After picking up the star-patterned stone, the other person asked, "Should I cut it finely?"

"Okay!" Ye Qing nodded and said.

He put the 500,000 into a safe next to him, and kept the remaining 10,000 for himself.

Ye Qing looked at the others speechlessly.

It seems like this is all about getting paid to do something, and those two people didn't even seem to want to take the money.

He ignored them and said to the old man, "Old man, let's begin cutting the stone!"

The old man nodded, and then his hands flew across the page!

The blade flashed, leaving afterimages as the stone Ye Qing had chosen was continuously cut and shrunk.

The stone, which was originally the size of two fists, has gradually grown to the size of one fist.

Moreover, as the stone was continuously cut, suddenly, a wisp of fiery red light slowly emerged.

As the flames spilled out, the entire room seemed to get a few degrees warmer.

In an instant, countless gazes turned towards this side!

Even the two people who had previously looked down on him immediately sat up.

At this moment, the star-patterned stone had turned bright red and become crystal clear!

"This flame contains at least one Fire Spirit Orb!"

"Holy crap, that kid picked it out from that pile of trash. 500,000 each. Even a Fire Spirit Pearl is worth tens of millions. That kid's luck is too good."

"Judging from this flame, it's probably not the Fire Spirit Pearl. I feel it might be the Heavenly Fire Lice!"

"If it's a Heavenly Fire Lice, then it's comparable to a seventh-grade weapon, and its value is around 150 million!"

……

During their conversation, Gerong and Chen Xuan excitedly grabbed Ye Qing's arm. Chen Xuan said excitedly, "Brother, we've struck it rich! Cut another one, and you can go order a Venerable's item too."

Gerong was equally excited.

If it were a Heavenly Fire Lice, worth 11.5 million, then even with a 0.1% commission, he could still get 150,000 blue crystals.

This is already a considerable sum of money for him, enough to solve his immediate financial crisis!

The old man who had been cutting the stone slowly stopped. He looked at Ye Qing and said, "Young man, you're quite lucky. You're actually turning trash into treasure. This stone now has a 70% chance of yielding a Heavenly Fire Lice and a 30% chance of yielding a Fire Spirit Orb! Do you want to continue cutting?"

"Why not continue cutting?" Ye Qing asked, puzzled.

The old man was taken aback and said, "This is your first time playing with star-patterned stones!"

“Yes!” Ye Qing nodded.

Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, everyone else in the shop turned green with envy.

The fact that they got a good item on their first try with Star Stones was a huge blow to everyone else.

“Young man, with your current 70% chance of success, you could probably sell it for between 70 million and 100 million!” the old man said. “The buyer has room to maneuver. But if you completely cut it open and turn the Fire Lice into a Fire Spirit Orb, it will only be worth 10 million!”
