The boss is going against the sky

Chapter 105
As soon as he looked up and saw the plaque on the stone gambling workshop on the street, Shen Qi felt that maybe he didn't have to worry about it, so he immediately stepped into the stone gambling workshop.

Shen Qi had heard of it in his previous life, and he knew a little bit about it in this life.It is said to be betting on stones, but in fact it is Shi Zhongyu.

It stands to reason that warriors in this world have true energy and can detect whether there is jade in the stone and the size and quality of the jade, but the fact is just the opposite.Just as the technology in the previous life was so advanced, I have never heard of any technology that can accurately detect the quality of the jade in the stone. The world of martial arts cannot detect the jade in the stone before the martial artist reaches the seventh level of innate.

The reason why I say can't, not can't, is because there is a difference between the two.

Because there is aura in the world of martial arts, jade also contains a lot of aura, so jade not only has ornamental value for martial artists, but also has considerable practical value.And because jade is formed naturally, the aura contained in it often forms a delicate balance.Once the true energy invades, this delicate balance will be destroyed, and the spiritual energy will overflow and dissipate uncontrollably.

Unless you reach the seventh level of innate qi, the innate qi changes in the hardness and softness of the heart, as nimble as a finger, so that you can achieve extremely fine control, intrude into the stone to detect the jade shape and even the aura in the jade, without destroying the delicate balance of aura in the jade.

However, in the world of martial arts, there are only a handful of masters at the seventh level of innateness, and their status is lofty and honorable. If they want money and resources for cultivation, there are many ways and it is very easy.
Therefore, it has become the mainstream to gamble on the quality of jade in stones by relying on experience skills such as knowledge and winks, and gradually formed a style of betting on stones.

However, not everyone can open a stone gambling workshop. In addition to having a strong foundation, it must also have considerable reputation and strength as support.For example, the Qiyu Gambling Stone Workshop in front of me has the logo of Qingyangzong, which means it is the property of Qingyangzong.

Shen Qi entered the Gambling Stone Workshop, but he didn't see the warriors of Qingyang Sect, neither the shopkeeper nor the waiting waiter had the logo of Qingyang Sect on them.

When Shen Qi thinks about it, it becomes clear - when the martial arts sect has developed to the level of Qingyang Sect, even the disciples of the outer court must be completely off-duty. As for the operation of shops under the sect, the cultivation of medicinal materials, etc., are all in charge of special personnel.

When Shen Qi was thinking about this, a sweet-looking maid came up to him, and asked with a smile: "Young Master, are you here to gamble with stones?"

"Of course." Shen Qi nodded.

The maid asked again: "Today we have a stone gambling field with a thousand taels to a million taels, and there are also a stone gambling field with a tens of thousands to a million taels. I don't know which one you want to participate in?"

In this way, it is to tell the visitor that he should leave without 1000 taels of silver on him.

Shen Qi only had more than 1 taels of silver with him, and the second type of gamble probably wasn't enough to make a single bet, so he immediately said, "Let's participate in the first type first."

"Then please come with me, my lord." The maid smiled sweetly again, turned around and swayed her willow waist lightly and walked inside.

Shen Qi followed behind, only to find that there are two back doors at the second entrance of the Gambling Stone Workshop lobby, leading to two courtyards respectively.When Shen Qi followed the maid into the courtyard on the right, he saw that dozens of people were already in the courtyard, and the ground was covered with various rough stones.

The maid explained to a middle-aged man who looked like a steward in the courtyard and went out. The steward immediately came to Shen Qi's side and asked, "Sir, do you want to listen to my introduction or see for yourself?"

Seeing that hundreds of rough stones in the courtyard were clearly marked with their prices, Shen Qi said, "Let me see for myself."

The steward smiled and nodded, and said, "Okay, if you like the piece, you can tell me. You can take it away after buying it, or you can cut it here."

"En." Shen Qi nodded, then walked towards the biggest piece of rough stone in the center of the courtyard.

This rough stone is nearly one person tall, and one of the cut cross-sections is mostly emerald green. It looks amazing, and the five people next to it are watching.It's just that there is a bamboo fence outside the rough stone. If you don't go inside the bamboo fence, you can't touch the rough stone.

This is because everyone in the world of martial arts knows the rules about gambling stones: you can only see but not touch.

Among the five onlookers, three were wearing masks and two were not. They were discussing the actual value of the jade contained in the rough stone priced at 1 taels.

One of the two is a young nobleman and the other is an old man, but they clearly respect the young nobleman.Most of what the two of them said was stone gambling jargon. Shen Qi didn't understand much, so he didn't listen too much. He directly activated the Earth Eye, and immediately got the following information——

"Raw jadeite, a stone containing a small amount of jadeite. This time the sect points consumption: 10 points."

Seeing this message and looking at the price tag of 1 taels, Shen Qi was sure that if anyone bought this good-looking rough stone, he would definitely suffer a big loss, so he turned around and left immediately.

Shen Qi's action caught the noble young master's attention, he stopped Shen Qi directly, and asked: "Why do you just leave after looking at it twice? Don't you have a good opinion of this rough stone?"

Although he felt that this person's question was abrupt, Shen Qi did not want to have any grudges for no reason, and immediately said: "This rough stone is too expensive, I can't afford it, so naturally I don't want to see more."

"I see." The young man nodded, then ignored Shen Qi, and said to the old man next to him: "Old Fei, I really think this rough stone is good, and it's only 1 taels, so don't stop me. Let me buy it. Manager, come here."

Hearing this, Shen Qi shook his head secretly, and looked at another two-foot-square rough stone with a little white jade facet exposed.

With a quick glance, the following information is obtained——

"Low-grade spiritual jade, white jade that contains a small amount of miscellaneous spiritual energy. This time the sect points consumption: 30 points."

Martial arts world jade is divided into ordinary jade and spiritual jade. Ordinary jade is jade that does not contain spiritual energy, and its value is the lowest; while spiritual jade is jade that contains spiritual energy. According to the quality, it is divided into upper, middle and lower grades. The higher the quality, the higher the quality. The higher the value.

Shen Qi remembered that a fist-sized low-grade spirit jade in the market cost 1 taels, but this rough stone was only priced at 2000 taels, so he called the steward and said, "I bought this rough stone."

The steward glanced at the rough stone, and thought that the young man probably wanted to try his hand, otherwise he would not try to buy such a low-quality rough stone at a low price, and immediately smiled and said: "Okay, please come here to sign the contract, my lord."

2000 taels is already a relatively large transaction, so it needs to sign a contract, that is, issue an invoice, which is regarded as a transaction certificate, so as to avoid other disputes after the transaction.

After signing the contract, the steward asked, "Does the young master need to cut it here?"

"Well, cut it here." Shen Qi nodded.

Immediately, the steward ordered the stone bought by Shen Qi to be moved to the room where the rough stone was being cut, and Shen Qi followed him in, and found that the nobleman's rough stone had just been carried in by several people using a few moso bamboos, and was about to cut it.

Maybe it's because the nobleman is extroverted, or maybe the fat-headed doll mask Shen Qi wears doesn't have the feeling of repelling others thousands of miles away. The nobleman glanced at the rough stone Shen Qi bought, and pointed at the protruding piece. The white jade cut the face and said: "Brother, is this your first time to gamble on stones? You see that your rough stone is two feet square, but the exposed jade cut face is only the size of a bowl, and it is not a good-looking white jade."

"Anyone who is knowledgeable knows that white jade seldom contains spiritual energy; even if there is white jade that contains pure attribute spiritual energy, its appearance must be very good. Therefore, your rough stone must be ordinary white jade, and it may not be worth 1000 yuan. Two. Brother, you are going to lose this time."

Although this noble young man talked a lot and wasn't very pleasant, he didn't have any malicious intentions, so Shen Qi didn't mind it, and said with a smile: "It's indeed my first time to bet on stones, so let's lose as much as I can, just practice my hand. "

The nobleman laughed, and said: "Brother, this kind of heart is somewhat similar to mine. I think that when I first started betting on stones, I often lost tens of thousands of taels. I lost millions of taels back and forth. With some experience..."

The noble young master started talking non-stop again, without any suspicion of flaunting his wealth in what he said.

Shen Qi didn't care either, just smiled from the sidelines, watching the two professional rough stone cutters unscramble his and your son's rough stone at the same time...
