Chapter 529: Chapter 305: 6th Life: Talent Failure? A Shocking Creation Delivered to the Door!
Great Yu City, Gambling Stone Workshop.
Hearing Lu Yuan’s words, Yu Hong was momentarily taken aback.
Turns out he had been earnestly advising for a long time, but Lu Yuan didn’t listen to a single word.
Not only did he not listen.
Instead, he became even more reckless, wanting to increase his bets further.
Looking at Lu Yuan’s reddened eyes, still thinking of overturning the situation, Yu Hong shook his head helplessly.
He knew.
The talented young genius, able to rival the heavy pupils of the current era, was now completely ruined!
Upstairs in the Gambling Stone Workshop.
A group of young men, exuding extraordinary bearing and dressed in luxurious clothing, watched the scene with great interest.
"Yu Qi, is this the young genius you spoke highly of?"
"I didn’t expect even you, a heavy pupil, to make a mistake in judgment."
A young man in a black robe, embroidered with the Gao Yang Clan totem, looked at Yu Qi with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
"The Heavenly Dao changes, and the world is unpredictable. Although the ancient heavy pupils are strong, they are not all-powerful."
Yu Qi said calmly.
Among the crowd, a young girl in a blue dress also held the hand of a woman in white, saying discontentedly.
"Sister, I told you he didn’t seem like a good person, but you made me apologize."
"Look at him now, what’s the difference between him and those degenerates?"
Jiang Wan’s expression was complex as she looked at the seemingly insane Lu Yuan, and couldn’t help but sigh.
She originally thought that with Lu Yuan’s talent, he might achieve something in the future.
But who could have thought he would end up like this.
"Brother Lu Yuan, the exotic stones are highly valuable, even a single piece costs tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones. Are you sure you want to keep looking?"
Yu Hong advised tactfully.
His persistent dissuasion was not only because he regretted Lu Yuan’s talent.
More importantly, after losing more than a dozen times in a row, Lu Yuan could no longer produce that many spirit stones.
"Brother Hong, I appreciate your kindness, but there’s no need to say more."
"I won’t be content unless I win back today."
Lu Yuan waved his hand, and a treasure bow and a set of battle armor appeared in mid-air.
"These two exotic treasures are my ancestral possessions. Brother Hong, could you appraise them to see how many spirit stones they can be pledged for?"
To make a big play, Lu Yuan went all out, bringing out both the horned heavy bow and the profound gold battle armor he refined himself.
These two exotic treasures shimmered with light and held a terrifying majesty, clearly not ordinary items!
"Though this heavy bow is roughly made, the material is of the highest quality."
"The rare part is that this bow can inflict damage on the soul."
"However, its power is limited and can only be used by Qi Refiners in the Basic Three Realms. At market price, it could sell for 130,000 low-grade spirit stones."
"And this battle armor offers outstanding defense and is quite extraordinary, worth about 70,000 low-grade spirit stones."
"Together, they amount to 200,000 low-grade spirit stones. Brother Lu Yuan, what do you think?"
Yu Hong’s eyes brightened as he quickly estimated the price.
"Of course, if you can return 200,000 low-grade spirit stones within half a month, you can redeem these two treasures from the Gambling Stone Workshop."
"Alright, let’s do as Brother Hong suggested."
Lu Yuan nodded, agreeing decisively.
He now had about 70,000 to 80,000 low-grade spirit stones, and with the 200,000 spirit stones from pledging the exotic treasures, he barely met the threshold to buy an exotic stone.
"Tonight, the Young Master is hosting distinguished guests in the market; the second floor is temporarily closed to the public. Please wait a moment, Brother Lu Yuan, while I have someone get the exotic stones."
Yu Hong said apologetically.
"Guests from the Youyu Clan?"
Lu Yuan’s expression flickered as he looked up.
However, the second floor was blocked by a screen, obstructing all auras, even spiritual power couldn’t penetrate it.
Yet he could vaguely feel several gazes on him, seemingly observing everything happening downstairs.
At the same time.
The news that Lu Yuan was going to open an exotic stone spread quickly throughout the market.
Despite the widespread gambling on rare stones in the Great Wilderness, very few dared to actually open them.
Each exotic stone was worth a fortune, but the probability of obtaining something valuable was shockingly low.
High cost, high risk, minimal return.
A single cut could make a prodigy weep, two cuts could collapse a divine bridge, and three cuts could severely exhaust even a Dharma Great Power.
A few cuts could completely drain a supreme powerful individual’s savings.
Moreover, in front of exotic stones, all beings were equal.
Opening exotic stones followed no discernible pattern, it was purely based on luck.
When other Qi Refiners heard the news, they flocked from all directions, surrounding the entire Gambling Stone Workshop to see who this daring warrior was.
"Is this kid insane, daring to touch exotic stones?"
"That’s how compulsive gamblers are. Once they’re desperate, they don’t even care for their lives."
Many Qi Refiners present resonated deeply and couldn’t help but sigh.
Amidst the anticipation of the crowd.
It wasn’t long before.
Yu Hong instructed attendants to bring over a dozen exotic stones of varying sizes to the table for Lu Yuan to choose from.
Unlike ordinary ancient stones.
These exotic stones were covered with dao marks on the surface, exuding a faint glow, clearly not ordinary items.
Yet as Lu Yuan looked around, his brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.
Every time he had encountered treasures, he had a feeling of intuition.
Like when he bought that broken statue last time, there seemed to be an otherworldly force guiding him to make a choice.
But this time, Lu Yuan felt nothing at all!
"What’s going on? Why is ’Heaven’s Will’ not reacting at all, could it have malfunctioned?"
