“I advise you not to choose that.”
“Ah?”
When Li Tongzhou heard this, he could not help but ask, “Senior, is there a problem with this stone?”
“I am only advising you not to choose it.”
Fang Yuan naturally could not tell him the reason, otherwise, how could he buy the stone.
“But… This Gu stone is round and has full color. The patterns are precise and exquisite, and most importantly, there is a small crack. Do you see it, it is definitely the mark left by the Gu worm after it crawled in, it should be… Right here!”
Li Tongzhou held the stone and pointed to a location.
The seller at the side beamed, “Young friend, you have good eyesight, I will only sell such a good stone for 20,000. You will definitely not lose money!”
“Ah, umm…” Li Tongzhou hesitated for a moment.
Fang Yuan patted his shoulder, “As long as you are happy. Do you have money? If you don’t have enough money, you can borrow from me. The interest rate is low, and there is no pressure.”
“No need, Senior, I have it.”
Li Tongzhou only understood the first half of the sentence, then he took out a small bag and paid twenty thousand primeval stones to the seller.
Fang Yuan noticed that this was a storage bag made from a Gu worm with a certain amount of spatial ability. It looked small, but the space inside was huge. Ordinary Gu masters could not afford to use it.
Just like those bags at Changle Square, one could only store twenty thousand in one bag. It was a very poor bag and was not worth much money.
And after Li Tongzhou took out 20,000 primeval stones, there seemed to be some money left. It seemed that this guy was also from a rich family.
Thinking about it, how could a large sect like the Gu Immortal Sect be a place that ordinary people could afford?
Even for him, wasn’t he also a rich second generation?
After that, it was time to open the stone.
The seller used the knife, and under Li Tongzhou’s command, he left a deep mark where he felt there was a Gu worm.
Crack!
He opened it.
There was not a sign of a worm.
“How is this possible!”
Li Tongzhou was shocked. How could his judgement be wrong!
There must be a problem with this stone!
No, if there was a problem with the stone, it meant that his judgement was wrong!
For a moment, Li Tongzhou was in a mess.
The seller had an ‘I knew it’ expression, but said regretfully, “Sigh, what a pity, it is a broken stone.”
A broken stone was a Gu stone that had a Gu worm crawl in but did not end up resting in it.
Fang Yuan found it funny and even added insult to injury at this time.
“See, I told you not to choose this, but you didn’t listen and insisted on giving away twenty thousand primeval stones. Aren’t you happy?”
Li Tongzhou seemed to have found a life-saving straw as he hugged Fang Yuan’s arm.
“Senior! You must still be lucky this time since you struck jackpot last time. Help me pick a piece and fulfill my wish. I’ll never gamble again!”
“No way.”
“I promise I won’t tell Senior Wan about you and Miss Xu.”
“Get lost. Go run your mouth!”
“I’ll pay for the stone. I’ll give you half of what I earn! No, I’ll give you 80%!”
“Deal.”
Fang Yuan smiled and patted Li Tongzhou on the shoulder. “You said it. You can’t go back on your word.”
Li Tongzhou was still a little doubtful about life. How could his senior agree so easily?
However, the facts did not allow him to doubt.
Fang Yuan had already started to seriously choose among the stones.
After about ten minutes, he brought back a large stone that was half the height of a person.
The surface of the rock seemed to have been corroded by sulfuric acid. There were potholes everywhere. In addition to the khaki color of the rock, it did not look good at all.
“Boss, how much is this?” Out of respect for Fang Yuan, Li Tongzhou still asked.
“40,000.”
The seller gave a price very quickly.
“40,000!?”
Li Tongzhou raised his voice and said in extreme disbelief and disgust, “With this thing, you’re selling it for 40,000? Why don’t you just rob me?”
“Selling stones is faster than robbing.”
The boss was an honest man and directly told the truth.
“…”
Li Tongzhou’s heart ached. He couldn’t bear to pay 40,000 primeval stones.
Fang Yuan didn’t care and said directly, “I’ve already chosen for you. It’s up to you whether you want to buy it or not.”
Li Tongzhou struggled in his heart for five seconds before finally clenching his teeth. “Okay! I’ll buy it! Open it for me!”
As he said that, he whispered, “Senior, I heard that people with big dicks are lucky. You have so many beautiful girls to accompany you, so you must not be small…”
Fang Yuan gritted his teeth and said, “I’m right beside you, bastard.”
Xu Zhiyu’s face was flushed red. She tilted her head and pretended not to hear him.
The seller had already started to take action.
He was not afraid that Li Tongzhou would go back on his word. He directly cut open the stone before he got the money.
Slice!
With a slash, along with a strong surge of spirit essence, a golden light shone in the corner of the gambling den.
“A Golden Gu!?”
The seller exclaimed.
Immediately, many people looked over because of the commotion.
“This light… this color, it really is a Golden Gu!”
“This brother’s luck is pretty good, finding a Golden Gu in this kind of stone. Looking at its quality, selling it for 70,000 to 80,000 shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
“Sigh, brother, I am willing to pay 85,000 primeval stones for this Golden Gu of yours, how about it?”
The stone had just been opened, and someone had already made a bid, and it was the highest valuation in everyone’s hearts. No one would chase if the price went even a little higher than that.
After all, a Golden Gu was not a rare Gu worm, and its was not Gold quality either.
This was only a Silver quality Gu worm, and its main purpose was to search for primeval stone veins and metal veins, something that ordinary people would not use it for.
Even so, Li Tongzhou was overjoyed.
After paying for the stone, he took the Gu worm and traded with the other party.
After getting the eighty-five thousand, he directly took out seventy thousand and handed it to Fang Yuan.
“Here, Senior, the primeval stones I promised you.”
Fang Yuan was a little surprised, “You are giving me too much, and you didn’t even take away the capital.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Li Tongzhou waved his hand, “If not for the Gu stone you chose for me, I would still have lost these primeval stones myself. Now that I’ve won once, I can consider my wish fulfilled.”
“There’s no need for so much.”
Fang Yuan suddenly felt that Li Tongzhou’s image in his heart had instantly become lofty.
Li Tongzhou smiled pretentiously. “Just think of it as me giving you and your sisters-in-law’s… cough cough, ah, Senior, you haven’t picked your own stone yet. Just think of it as me inviting you!”
He saw Fang Yuan’s unfriendly expression and quickly changed his words.
Otherwise, if he continued talking, God knows what would happen to him.
