Wu Shattered Star River

A common man is not guilty, but possessing treasure is a crime.

Jiang Han wanted to disguise himself because he was worried about being targeted. Going to the gambling house to get Xuan stones, getting too few would be meaningless, and getting too many would inevitably attract the attention of the gambling house.

Could ordinary people open a gambling house? There must be powerful forces behind it. If he was targeted by powerful forces, Ling Yunmeng would definitely not be able to protect him.

So, obtaining Xuan stones was simple; the trouble was how to conceal his identity. He didn't understand disguise techniques, so he could only ask Jiang Lang for information.

Jiang Lang was never serious, and Jiang Han was a little speechless. He said solemnly, "I'm serious. Don't ask me what I'm going to do. Just tell me if you can help me or not?"

Jiang Lang glanced at Jiang Han, stopped joking, thought for a moment, and said, "Disguise is very simple, there are three ways. The first is to use a powerful disguise Xuan artifact. Many Xuan artifacts have the ability to conceal one's identity and aura. But if you want to be invisible to those in the Mountain Sea Reincarnation Realm, you'll need at least a Earth-rank Xuan artifact, which costs hundreds of thousands of Xuan stones."

"The second is to use pills. Some pills have the effect of temporarily changing a person's facial features and body shape, but if you want to be invisible to experts, the price is not cheap. One pill conservatively costs three to five thousand Xuan stones, and it only lasts for a few hours at a time."

"The third is to use divine talismans. Some higher-level divine talismans can also conceal a martial artist's appearance and aura. Each one can last for a few hours, but the price is also high, costing three to five thousand Xuan stones per talisman."

Three invisible black lines appeared on Jiang Han's forehead. These three methods were all feasible, but they were all incredibly expensive!

He only had a few Xuan stones on him; he'd have to risk his life to get them.

Seeing Jiang Han's worried look, Jiang Lang grinned and said, "Little Han Han, tell me what you want to disguise yourself for? Maybe I can help you."

Jiang Han hesitated. He planned to keep his divine power a secret from everyone, as the consequences of it being leaked would be severe.

However, without Jiang Lang's help, he couldn't even afford the treasures needed for disguise, let alone buy a few cheap raw stones.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Jiang, do you still remember gambling on stones?"

"Gambling on stones?"

Jiang Lang was a little surprised and said, "Is there anything to remember or not remember about that? I go to play a round every few days. What are you saying this for?"

"It's like this!"

Jiang Han thought for a moment and chose his words carefully, saying, "Didn't I go to Tianyuan Mine to hunt Spirit Devouring Pythons a few days ago? That mine has Xuan crystal raw stones, and I studied them a bit in my spare time."

"I discovered that I have some talent for gambling on stones. I can determine whether there are Xuan crystals inside the raw stone based on the patterns, um… I have an 80% chance of making a profit."

"What?"

Jiang Lang was stunned after hearing this, then he chuckled and said, "You're exaggerating without limit. You can also appraise raw stones? You're making me laugh."

Jiang Han touched his nose and said, "Why can't I appraise them?"

Jiang Lang squinted his eyes and said, "Many people have studied this gambling on stones for decades and can only grasp some superficial knowledge. You just looked at it for two days and you know how to do it?"

"Do you know how many people in those big gambling houses spend day and night studying in them all year round? Do you know how many people have read various ancient histories, researched and tried to explore for sixty years, but are still only at the initial stage?"

"Do you know what an 80% chance of making a profit means?"

Jiang Lang paused for a moment and continued, "Let me put it this way, the gambling stone world is divided into outer sect, entering the hall, initial understanding, master, and grandmaster."

"Do you know how high the chance of a grandmaster making a profit is? At most 70%! You played with stones for two days and you dare to say you have an 80% chance? You're blowing this so hard that I'm caught off guard!"

"Uh…"

Jiang Han blinked. He didn't expect that even a grandmaster of gambling stones only had a 70% chance of making a profit? Then wouldn't he be a super grandmaster?

He was too lazy to explain, thought for a moment and said, "In that case, let's go to Dark City, play a few small rounds first, and I'll show you my strength. There's no point in saying so much nonsense, seeing is believing."

Seeing that Jiang Han wasn't joking, Jiang Lang got up and said, "Let's go, I'll accompany you to play. Let me see what a gambling stone prodigy is."

Jiang Han got up and followed him out. The two went to the South City and teleported to Dark City, heading straight for the gambling house.

Because they were just playing a small round to show Jiang Lang his skills, Jiang Han wasn't afraid of revealing his identity.

He and Jiang Lang went to the largest gambling stone house, "Tianyun Gambling House." Although it was already night outside, it was crowded with people here.

In a hall of over ten thousand square meters, countless raw stones were placed. Some people walked around, many people squatted in front of each stone, studying attentively, and many waiters shuttled through it.

People were constantly buying raw stones, paying money, and then taking them directly to the stone cutting area to open them, which was very lively.

Jiang Lang didn't even look at the stones. He smiled and said to Jiang Han, "Jiang Genius, make your move. Pick whatever you want, I'll pay for it, and if you make a profit, it's all yours."

Jiang Han nodded and wandered around inside, looking here and patting there, staring at the patterns of the raw stones and carefully pondering them. He looked quite like an old gambler.

Jiang Han wandered around inside for a full half an hour, touching at least a hundred stones.

Jiang Lang, following behind him, became a little annoyed and said, "Have you decided yet? You're acting like you really know something. My time is precious, don't dawdle."

"Almost!"

Jiang Han put down a stone and whispered into Jiang Lang's ear, "I'll choose five stones. You take them to be cut open. Three of them have Xuan crystals inside, and two don't!"

"Ha!"

Jiang Lang was amused by him. He didn't say anything. According to Jiang Han's instructions, he selected five stones, spent more than two hundred Xuan stones, and asked the waiter to cut them open.

"Three small ones have Xuan crystals, and two big ones don't, right?"

He asked, leaning close to Jiang Han. Jiang Han nodded very seriously.

Jiang Lang was even more amused, grinned, and said, "It seems you really don't know anything. The patterns on those three small ones are messy, the colors are pale, and there are no pythons. They're obviously waste stones. If they can be cut open to reveal Xuan crystals, I'll eat shit upside down!"

Jiang Han was stunned. He shook his head and smiled, "Brother Jiang, there's no need to be so harsh, right? Let's make it clear first—how much will you eat? Fresh or overnight?"

"Get lost!"

Jiang Lang rolled his eyes and said angrily, "More than two hundred Xuan stones! If nothing comes out, you'll wash my underwear for a month."

"No problem, let's go!"

Jiang Han patted Jiang Lang, and the two followed the waiter to the stone cutting area.

It was even more lively here, and many people were observing and studying. Many raw stones were cut open here every day, and they wanted to summarize experience based on the raw stones that produced good materials.

Jiang Han and the others' five stones were very small, and it was obvious at a glance that they were cheap goods. The waiter handed them to the stone cutter, but no one paid much attention.

The stone cutter looked at Jiang Lang and asked, "Young masters, how do you want to cut them?"

Jiang Lang didn't pay much attention and said casually, "Just break them open directly!"

"Okay!"

The stone cutter took out the stone cutting knife and cut down on the stone. Jiang Lang didn't even look at this side. Instead, he turned his attention to a huge raw stone on the left, where someone was cutting open good materials.

The stone cutter first cut two large stones. As Jiang Han expected, these two stones had nothing in them and were a waste of effort.

Jiang Lang glanced at Jiang Han mockingly, and his gaze turned to the left again, where the top-quality materials had already been cut open.

"Buzz~"

The stone cutter picked up a small stone and cut it down, and as a result, a white light lit up inside.

Jiang Lang's gaze immediately swept over, and when he saw a grain-sized Xuan crystal, his two rat eyes suddenly widened, and he muttered in disbelief, "It really produced something?"

This Xuan crystal was the lowest grade of Xuan crystal, and the price wasn't expensive, about five hundred Xuan stones or so.

But producing something was producing something. Jiang Lang didn't care how much it increased in value, what he cared about was that it really happened.

Jiang Han also looked surprised and excited, but he was acting.

He triumphantly leaned close to Jiang Lang's ear and said, "Don't talk, look at the other two stones."

"Congratulations, young masters, you've produced something!"

The stone cutter handed the Xuan crystal to Jiang Lang and continued to cut the remaining two stones. As Jiang Han expected, two more grain-sized Xuan crystals were cut out.

"I wipe…"

Jiang Lang was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Jiang Han also looked "excited" and grabbed Jiang Lang's hand, saying, "Brother Jiang, you're really amazing. Three out of five stones produced something. You're a gambling stone grandmaster."

The movement here attracted the attention of many gamblers, but only three of the lowest grade Xuan crystals were produced, so it didn't cause too much of a sensation.

Everyone just looked at Jiang Lang and Jiang Han with envy, thinking that they had stumbled upon dog shit luck.

"Hahaha!"

Jiang Lang laughed loudly, took the Xuan crystals, and waved his hand very generously, saying, "Let's go to Yichun Courtyard, order any courtesan you want, it's on me!"

Under the envious gazes of many people, the two left the gambling house. As soon as they came out, Jiang Lang was already excited and grabbed Jiang Han's hand tightly, saying, "Brother, tell me the truth, were you guessing, or do you really know what you're doing?"

"We'll talk about that later."

Jiang Han smiled slyly and said, "Let's talk about the matter of eating shit upside down first! Are you eating your own, or mine? Do you need to dip it in some chili sauce?"

"Roll!"

Jiang Lang rolled his eyes and said angrily.
