Wu Shattered Star River

“This…”

Li Ling was a little embarrassed, after all, these were all raw stones, meant to be sold for money.

If they yielded valuable materials upon opening, it would be fine, but if not, he would have to bear the responsibility.

Moreover, the mine had regulations prohibiting them from randomly cutting open raw stones.

“Brother Li, no need to be troubled!”

Jiang Han said with a smile, “However many Xuan stones this stone can sell for, I’ll buy it.”

“How could I possibly let Senior Brother Jiang spend money!”

Li Ling quickly figured it out. Being able to befriend Jiang Han, what did it matter if he was fined for violating the rules?

His uncle would definitely support him.

He said with a smile, “Brother Li, wait a moment. This raw stone is very hard and requires a special stone-cutting knife. I’ll have someone fetch it.”

Li Ling summoned someone, who quickly brought a small white knife. The blade of this knife was actually dark gold, looking exceptionally sharp.

“Let’s see if it’s as Senior Brother Jiang said, and there really is something inside?”

Li Ling personally took the knife, and with a single stroke, the raw stone was easily shaved off, like wood.

Unfortunately, the stone inside was pitch black, with nothing at all.

Li Ling’s knife flashed, and pieces of stone were shaved off, but still nothing.

Li Ling glanced at Jiang Han and comforted him, “Senior Brother Jiang, don’t worry. Perhaps the goods are further inside? Hehe… Actually, it’s normal if nothing comes out. Most of the raw stones here are empty.”

Jiang Han remained expressionless, staring at the stone and saying, “Keep cutting!”

Li Ling had no choice but to continue wielding the knife, and pieces of stone were shaved off. A stone as big as a human body had been shaved by more than half, but inside it was still pitch black, with nothing at all.

Li Ling stopped and looked at Jiang Han, asking, “Do you still want to continue cutting?”

Jiang Han said very affirmatively, “Cut!”

“Buzz~”

When two-thirds of the stone had been shaved away, suddenly a faint white light shone from within.

Li Ling’s face showed a look of shock, and he said with great joy, “Senior Brother Jiang is amazing! There really is something inside!”

“We’re going to get rich…”

At this moment, Jiang Han’s eyes were even brighter than the Xuan crystal inside.

Because the location and size of this Xuan crystal were exactly the same as what he had detected using his divine ability, “Spirit Seeking Art.”

Jiang Han forcefully suppressed the excitement in his heart. Over there, Li Ling had already taken out a white crystal the size of a soybean.

He said with an excited face, “This Xuan crystal is considered good among the low-grade ones, worth at least two thousand Xuan stones. Senior Brother Jiang is too amazing.”

Jiang Han smiled faintly and said, “I was just purely guessing, luck, luck, hahaha!”

Jiang Han’s gaze turned to the stone next to him. He began to observe again, touching here and looking there. Finally, he pointed to a stone about the size of two heads and said, “I feel like there’s something in here too, Brother Li, cut it!”

“Alright!”

Li Ling was very excited. The Xuan crystal he had just cut out was worth a lot, so Jiang Han could cut as he pleased.

Swish, swish, swish!

The knife danced in Li Ling’s hands, and soon this stone was completely cut, but there was nothing inside.

“As expected…”

Jiang Han was secretly delighted again. He had just used the Spirit Seeking Art to investigate, and there was nothing inside. He had deliberately let Li Ling cut it.

Li Ling comforted him, “Senior Brother Jiang, don’t worry. Cut a few more. With Senior Brother Jiang’s luck, you’ll definitely get good stuff. Cut as much as you want today, I’ll take care of everything.”

“Brother Li is righteous!”

Jiang Han gave a thumbs up, touching here and looking there, while Li Ling continued to show off his knack for identifying stones.

After a while, Jiang Han made another move, selecting a stone.

Swish, swish, swish!

After dozens of cuts by Li Ling, he actually cut out another Xuan crystal. Although it was the lowest grade, wasn’t Jiang Han’s luck too heaven-defying?

“Cut these two too!”

Jiang Han once again chose two stones, and as he expected, there was nothing in these two.

“Alright, I’m not playing anymore!”

Jiang Han stopped while he was ahead. He wasn’t cutting stones for fun, but just to verify his Spirit Seeking Art.

He led Li Ling towards the outside of the warehouse. At the door, he remembered something and asked, “Brother Li, does no one cheat in this stone gambling? For example, by using divine talismans or secret techniques to investigate the raw stones. Wouldn’t the casino suffer a huge loss?”

“You can’t cheat!”

Li Ling explained with a smile, “Senior Brother Jiang, you don’t know. The outer stones of all mineral crystals are very special. These stones contain some kind of natural divine array, and no energy can penetrate them.”

“So far, no one has been able to probe whether there are mineral crystals inside through the outer stone. Otherwise, the stone gambling craze wouldn’t be so prevalent in the Nine Provinces Continent.”

“You don’t know!”

Li Ling continued, “I heard that the largest dark city in our Yun Province has a large gambling house that held a stone gambling competition. They took out many top-grade raw stones. As long as the raw stones weren’t broken, any means could be used.”

“The competition attracted countless wealthy customers. It is said that one raw stone was priced at over a hundred million Xuan stones. In that extravagant gamble, many strong individuals from large clans lost their fortunes, but of course, some people also opened up top-grade Heaven-rank Xuan crystals, and one Heaven-rank Xuan crystal sold for a sky-high price of ten billion Xuan stones…”

“What?”

Jiang Han’s body trembled slightly, and his heart thumped. A Xuan crystal for ten billion? That’s too exaggerated.

If he participated in a few stone gambling competitions, he might become the richest man in Yun Province…

“Interesting, interesting!”

Jiang Han pretended to be calm, chatted with Li Ling for a few words, and then said goodbye and left.

Li Ling warmly tried to persuade him to stay, but Jiang Han couldn’t wait to go back, and couldn’t be persuaded to stay.

Running wildly all the way, countless thoughts flashed through Jiang Han’s mind, but his heart became more and more excited.

Before, he was so poor that he couldn’t even take out a few Xuan stones, and he didn’t have Xuan stones to buy Xuan Spirit Pills.

Two days ago, he was still racking his brains about how to get Xuan stones. He didn’t expect that all the problems would be solved instantly because he awakened a “useless” divine ability.

It took him two hours to return to the Cloud Dream Pavilion, and everything went smoothly along the way.

The Broken Army Squad didn’t appear, and no assassins appeared, which made him feel a little surprised.

When he returned to the Cloud Dream Pavilion, it was already dark. Jiang Han glanced at Jiang Li, then went straight to Jiang Lang’s courtyard!

Jiang Lang didn’t go out to play today. Jiang Han found him in the house. Because he was anxious, he didn’t knock on the door and pushed it open directly.

He saw Jiang Lang holding a bodice and smelling it under his nose, with a look of intoxication on his face.

“…”

Jiang Han rolled his eyes. Jiang Lang was startled, hurriedly put away the bodice, and said with an annoyed expression, “Jiang Han, do you know etiquette? Don’t you need to knock before entering someone else’s room?”

Jiang Han arched his hand somewhat embarrassedly and said, “Sorry, Brother Jiang, I was reckless.”

“You…”

Jiang Lang curled his lips and said, “Being so rash, what if I was jerking off? Being startled by you like this can easily cause problems.”

Jiang Han blinked his eyes in confusion and said, “What is jerking off?”

“You wouldn’t understand even if I told you!”

Jiang Lang waved his hand and said, “What’s the matter? So impetuous, you’re so old, don’t you know how to be calm?”

Jiang Han brought up the main topic and said, “Brother Jiang, do you have any means of disguising yourself? The kind that even Mountain Sea Reincarnation Realm experts can’t see through?”

“What are you disguising yourself for? And it has to be the kind that even Mountain Sea Reincarnation Realm experts can’t see through?”

Jiang Lang’s small eyes began to roll, and then he leaned over lewdly and said, “Are you going to the Cloud Dream Palace to steal the Pavilion Master’s personal clothes? Wow, kaka! Brother, you’re an old cow giving birth—fucking awesome!”
