Wu Shattered Star River

In the Kyushu Continent, various treasures are classified by grade.

Heaven, Earth, Black, Yellow!

Whether it's Xuan weapons, Xuan skills, elixirs, divine talismans, Xuan materials, etc., they are all distinguished by these four grades: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow. Some items are further divided into upper and lower grades.

For example, the battle blade in Jiang Han's hand is a Black-grade Xuan weapon, the Xuan skill he practices, "Sevenfold Blade," is Earth-grade, and the Xuan Spirit Pill is Yellow-grade.

Yellow-grade is the most common, Black-grade is relatively precious, Earth-grade is undoubtedly a good item, and Heaven-grade is the top-tier existence.

Xuan crystals are the same!

Xuan crystals are high-level materials for constructing divine altars. After reaching the Xuan Profound Realm, each layer of the divine altar requires Xuan crystals to be refined into it, making Xuan crystals valuable, and high-grade Xuan crystals even more so.

When constructing the divine altar, the higher the grade of Xuan crystals refined, the more benefits there are.

Heaven-grade Xuan crystals are priceless!

When Heaven-grade treasures are born, they are often accompanied by strange phenomena. When this Heaven-grade Xuan crystal was cut out, there was a surge of purple energy into the sky, and the roars of beasts echoed in unison, all of which revealed the extraordinary nature of this Heaven-grade Xuan crystal.

The surroundings were silent, and everyone was so shocked that they couldn't speak.

Jiang Han was frightened. He detected that this was a Purple Xuan Crystal, and it was as big as a fist.

He thought it should be worth a lot of money, so he chose this ugly stone, but he didn't expect it to cause such a big commotion?

He turned his gaze to Jiang Lang, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked, "Big brother, how many Xuan stones is this worth?"

Jiang Lang took a deep breath and sighed helplessly, "At least... starting at ten billion!"

"Uh..."

Jiang Han was stunned and looked at Jiang Lang in confusion. He wasn't confused by the Purple Xuan Crystal being worth ten billion, but by Jiang Lang's attitude?

According to their agreement, shouldn't Jiang Lang be acting at this moment? Like jumping up excitedly, or acting crazy, crying and laughing?

Why didn't Jiang Lang look happy at all? There was vaguely some... annoyance?

"Ouch, ouch!"

Suddenly, a voice broke the silence. Han Shiqi woke up.

He sat up, rubbing the back of his head with a painful expression. He had fainted twice, and both times the back of his head hit the stone slab. A bump had formed on the back of his head, so he naturally felt some pain upon waking up.

He looked around blankly, trying to recall what happened before he fainted. He noticed countless eyes staring at him, all filled with pity.

He finally remembered that he... seemed to have lost the bet? He lost eight million?

His face turned pale, and he shook his head, struggling to stand up.

He turned his gaze to the stone-cutting area and saw the purple light from within the ugly stone.

His face became even more unsightly, and he asked, "Did you cut out something good again?"

Someone next to him explained, "Old Han, you lost... not unjustly! They cut out a Heaven-grade Xuan Crystal, estimated to be worth at least ten billion!"

"Pfft ~"

Han Shiqi's body trembled, and he couldn't suppress a mouthful of blood in his throat. He opened his mouth and spat wildly, his eyes rolled back, and then he fell straight down.

Han Shiqi actually... fainted for the third time, and this time he even vomited blood!

No one paid attention to Han Shiqi anymore, and everyone's gaze turned to the ugly stone. The surroundings became like a lively market, with various noisy sounds rising and falling.

The stonecutter carefully began to cut the stone, and after a while, a fist-sized Purple Xuan Crystal was cut out.

Elder Xu glanced at it and said in a heavy tone, "The quality is correct, it's a Lower-grade Heaven-grade Xuan Crystal!"

Qin Rong nodded, then suddenly raised his hand, suppressing the noisy sounds nearby. He said loudly, "Congratulations to the two young masters for opening a heaven-defying divine stone in my Qilin Gambling House. We offer fourteen billion to buy back this Heaven-grade Xuan Crystal!"

"Fourteen billion!!"

The whole place boiled over. This ugly stone originally cost seven hundred thousand, but it produced a Heaven-grade Xuan Crystal worth fourteen billion. This has increased by two thousand times!

If calculated based on Jiang Han and his friend's input-output ratio, they only invested three thousand Xuan stones, and now they've made a profit of fourteen billion. How many times is that?

Four hundred and sixty thousand times?

Many people secretly calculated and were shocked.

Some people's gazes towards Jiang Han and Jiang Lang became unkind, and it wasn't just envy and jealousy. Some people were already plotting in their hearts how to deal with Jiang Han and Jiang Lang.

Fourteen billion is a huge fortune for many people!

Two young men who look like they're only at the Xuan Profound Realm? If they were to get rid of these two, wouldn't the fourteen billion be theirs?

Some gazes gradually became sinister, and some people couldn't hide the killing intent on their bodies.

Jiang Han felt it!

But he had no choice. He could only turn his gaze to Jiang Lang. Jiang Lang had promised him before that he could lead him to retreat safely.

There was no worry or joy on Jiang Lang's face or in his eyes. He turned his gaze to Qin Rong and said, "We'll sell this stone. Please, Shopkeeper Qin, help me exchange it for fourteen dark cards, one billion each. As for the twenty million in gold lithium stones, consider it a tip for Shopkeeper Qin to buy tea."

Qin Rong gave a thumbs up and said, "The two young masters are generous, but our Qilin Gambling House has our rules, which is to never take advantage of any customers. Whatever the price is, that's what it is. Even if you open a supreme divine stone worth a hundred billion today, we will still buy it back at the market price!"

"Someone!"

Qin Rong shouted, "Immediately calculate the price for the two young masters and get ten dark cards according to this young master's request."

"Also... get me a Gold VIP card. These two young masters opened a heaven-defying divine stone in my Qilin Gambling House, which means they have a connection with our gambling house. From now on, they will get a 20% discount on all raw stones purchased in my gambling house!"

"This..."

The eyes of the surrounding people were filled with complex emotions, some were shocked, some were puzzled, and some were admiring.

This time, the Qilin Gambling House suffered a great loss, a huge loss!

They let someone win fourteen billion with three thousand. Not only was Qin Rong not angry or giving them a hard time, but he also settled the account so readily for Jiang Han and his friend.

Most importantly, he gave them a Gold VIP card with a 20% discount!

Does Qin Rong have something wrong with his brain?

Those who admired him thought that Qin Rong was righteous and that the Qilin Gambling House had principles, which was the demeanor that a top gambling house should have.

Soon, the stewards brought more than a dozen dark cards and a Gold VIP card.

Jiang Lang verified them one by one. After confirming that there were fourteen billion and twenty million Xuan stones inside, he put away the Gold VIP card.

He cupped his fist towards Qin Rong and said, "Old Qin, I've made you a friend. The Qilin Gambling House is righteous, and it will definitely become the number one gambling house in Yunzhou in the future!"

"It's my blessing, Qin, to be able to know the two young masters."

Qin Rong smiled and cupped his fist towards the surroundings, "Opening a business, there are losses and gains. The Qilin Gambling House has always been open and aboveboard."

"It's still that sentence—we're not afraid of you making a profit. It's your ability to make a profit of ten thousand times. If you open a treasure worth a hundred billion, we will still buy it back at the market price!"

Jiang Lang didn't continue to be polite with Qin Rong. He put away the dark cards and strode towards Han Shiqi, who had fainted.

He squatted down and suddenly raised his hand and slapped Han Shiqi heavily, waking Han Shiqi up.

"This..."

The surrounding people were stunned. Jiang Lang was a bit crazy. He dared to make a move in Dark City?

Making a move in Dark City would be severely punished. If Dark City were to punish Jiang Lang for this slap, at least tens of thousands of Xuan stones would be gone.

No—

Everyone quickly realized that Jiang Lang had just earned more than a dozen billion. Did he lack these tens of thousands of Xuan stones?

Han Shiqi was slapped awake. He opened his eyes and saw Jiang Lang's face.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and remembered what had happened before. He suddenly sat up and glared at Jiang Lang.

"What are you glaring at?"

Jiang Lang said coldly, "Old fart, you lost. Give me the Xuan stones, five million!"
