The Demon Lord of the Outside World

One, two, three...

Xu Wang picked up the stones on the table one by one, seemingly just playing with them, and put them down after a while, then picked up the next one, and so on.

"Um... Sir, do you want to gamble on stones?"

After repeating this for more than ten times, a servant finally came over and asked cautiously.

"Yes, yes, I am here to gamble on stones."

Xu Wang put down another stone in his hand and spoke.

"Oh, then let me introduce you, sir. The gambling stones here are divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. The lower grade stubborn stones are worth five to twenty yuan stones, and the middle grade stubborn stones are worth fifty to two hundred yuan stones. They need to be purchased on the second floor of Sanxing Cave. As for the third floor, the upper grade stubborn stones are sold for five hundred to two thousand yuan stones."

Two thousand yuan stones are used to buy a stubborn stone that may not produce a live Gu. What a lucrative business. Even if Xu Wang won the top three in the family competition, he was only rewarded with one thousand yuan stones. In the original work, Fang Yuan used gambling stones as a cover to get a full-strength Gu, and spent hundreds of thousands of yuan stones on it, but he couldn't even make a sound.

Although Xu Wang's current assets may not be able to buy a few upper grade stubborn stones, it doesn't matter.

Putting down a stubborn stone in his hand, feeling the trace of the outer domain Dao in the void growing stronger, Xu Wang raised his hand and touched a stubborn stone the size of a millstone. After sensing it for a moment, he said to the servant.

"I'll buy this one. Let's cut it on the spot."

"Yes, yes, yes... This stubborn stone is priced at... 15 Yuanshi. Sir, please..."

The servant hurriedly nodded and bowed forward, while Xu Wang casually showed the jade card.

"Record it."

"Hiss... This is Xu... Yes, yes, I'll ask someone to help cut the stone."

Soon, the Gu Master responsible for cutting the stone came to the scene. Under the Gu worms specially used for cutting stones, the stubborn stone was quickly cut into several pieces of stone.

"Uh... Sir, it seems that there should be no Gu worms in this stubborn stone... But things are unpredictable, and this situation is inevitable in gambling on stones. Don't be disappointed."

The servant saw the situation in front of him and carefully reminded that the person who could take out the Xu family jade card would definitely not be of low status. He didn't want to be hated because of a bad word.

"Well, I understand."

During the process of unravelling the stone, Xu Wang played with a few more stubborn stones. Seeing that he did not find the Gu worm, Xu Wang's expression did not change. He just raised his hand and touched another stubborn stone that looked like a stone pillow to feel it slightly, and then spoke again.

"I want this one too. Let's unravel it on the spot as well."

"Yes, yes..."

When the second stubborn stone was also unravelled, there was nothing else except the broken stones on the ground, and there was still no Gu worm. In response, Xu Wang just chose another stubborn stone that looked like an animal head.

However, there was still no Gu in the third piece.

The fourth piece... no Gu.

The fifth piece... still no Gu.

The sixth piece... although there was indeed a Gu worm in it, the vitality in it had dissipated, and it was already a dead Gu.

"This... victory and defeat are common, young master, don't be disappointed..."

The servant was sweating profusely when he saw this scene, fearing that Xu Wang in front of him would slap him to vent his anger. However, Xu Wang did the same as before, picking up a stone the size of a human head, sensing it slightly and putting it down, then picking up another stone of the same size and sensing it for a moment, and then speaking.

"Let's untie these two."

"Yes, yes, I'll help you untie the stone right away..."

The servant hurried forward and moved the stone aside, watching the untie process with fear, and quietly stood a little further away from Xu Wang, fearing that if the two stones were empty again, Xu Wang would be angry with him.

"It's out! It's a live Gu!"

As the untie process continued, the Gu master in charge of untie suddenly shouted.

As soon as these words came out, they quickly attracted some attention. Under the gaze of the crowd, in the stone that was untied, there was a Gu worm the size of an adult's thumb in a soil ball, which looked like a caterpillar, light blue, and had a small pointed horn on the top of the worm's head.

"It's a first-level water arrow Gu. Congratulations, sir, for opening your first Gu worm!"

The servant hurried forward to congratulate, but did not mention the profit. The water arrow Gu was not considered excellent among the first-level Gu worms, and the value of the Yuanshi was not even a hundred. Xu Wang opened seven pieces of stubborn stones, which could be said to be not even profitable.

However, the next moment, the stone-untied Gu master shouted again.

"Another one! Another live Gu!"

Hearing this, the people around were excited again, and they all turned their heads to look at the hands of the stone-untied Gu.

"It's a kerosene Gu. Congratulations, sir, you made a fortune!"

Although the kerosene Gu is a one-time consumption Gu worm, it is worth 40 to 50 Yuanshi. With the value of the water arrow Gu, Xu Wang has made a small profit.

"This young master is planning to..."

The servant was about to speak when Xu Wang interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"Please buy these two poisonous insects at the market price, and then give me the Yuanshi, no need to transfer the money."

"Ah, this... is... I obey your order..."

Not daring to ask more, the servant quickly retreated and then brought Xu Wang 130 Yuanshi.

After Xu Wang collected these Yuanshi, he picked up another stubborn stone.

"Open again."

…………………………

At dusk, Xu Wang walked out of the Sanxing Cave. In the empty cavity, the outer Dao Mark was no longer the previous one, but two outer Dao Marks.

[This time it was really... a good meal. ]

In the previous attempt, Xu Wang found that his outer Dao Mark could indeed swallow the Gu worms through the stone wall, but there were limitations after all. Xu Wang's initial experiment was to see how thick the stone wall his outer Dao Mark could swallow the Gu worms through. The result of the experiment was that as long as the stone was not larger than the size of a human head, Xu Wang could swallow the Gu worms through the stone wall with the outer Dao Mark.

Not only that, Xu Wang could also use the outer Dao Mark to identify whether there were Gu worms in the stone. If necessary, Xu Wang could even open 70% of the Gu worms in the gambling stone field.

However, Xu Wang was not short of money to this extent. Even so, Xu Wang quietly devoured most of the stubborn stones with Gu worms that he could devour. He got dozens of first-level Gu worms. Although the quality was uneven, the number of them helped him to pile up the outer-domain Dao trace to the second one.

In this case, Xu Wang could not only increase the power of Gu worms by half, but also imitate multiple Gu worms at the same time. The improvement was huge. Now Xu Wang dared to say that his real combat power was only a few second-level Gu worms compared to those veteran Gu masters at the peak of the second level.

[No hurry, the market will be open for half a month this time, which is enough to accumulate foundation...]

Xu Wang sensed the Gu worm he had just bought in the void. This Gu was milky white, like a ladybug.

White pig Gu!

[So take this opportunity to upgrade all his Gu worm configurations to the second level in one fell swoop...]
