Chapter 554
“Apologies . I have my own use for this heaven stone . ”
Qi Junjun refused the offers from these people .
What a joke, she didn’t even have a single subpar grade heaven stone, how could she sell it to others?
With this heaven stone, when she cultivated martial arts in the future, she might not cut the effort in half, but would at least be able to increase the efficiency by 15% .
“Li Fuchen, many thanks . ”
Qi Junjun looked at Li Fuchen with different eyes .
She didn’t believe that Li Fuchen had guessed it and must have a certain trick to it .
“Big Brother Li, help me to choose two ores too . ”
Qi Guang had already started calling Li Fuchen as a Big Brother and his eyes were filled with flattery .
His elder sister had only invested 500,000 low-grade spirit stones and earned at least 500 mid-grade spirit stones . The profits were 10 times .
Li Fuchen smiled and didn’t say anything else .
On the side, Dongguo Shaonan and Elder Liu’s face were so gloomy and were almost sweating .
Elder Liu said coldly, “It is just luck . Who doesn’t have a few lucky encounters in life?”
“That is true . I think it should be luck too . Cut open my ore too!” Dongguo Shaonan took out the ore that he had purchased earlier from his storage bag and placed it in front of the ore cutter .
“Alright . ” The ore cutter nodded .
He would need a remuneration to cut the ore for someone and it cost 100 low-grade spirit stones for each ore . The more he cut, the more low-grade spirit stones he would earn .
Dongguo Shaonan’s ore was priced at 800,000 low-grade spirit stones and some of the stone gambling elites were nodding silently and felt that this ore had a high possibility of producing heaven stones .
If it was a success, it wouldn’t just be one piece of heaven stone, there would be at least two pieces of heaven stone .
Dongguo Shaonan was a little apprehensive at first, but after seeing so many people that thought highly of this ore, his mood was much calmer .
Crackle!
The ore cutter made his first cut .
Cling!
On the first cut, the ore cutter felt an obstruction .
“Profit, profit . ”
“Young Master Dongguo is going to earn huge profits this time . Once there is a heaven stone, there will be a few pieces inside . The profits are at least 1000 mid-grade spirit stones . ”
Everyone in the vicinity was rather excited .
Dongguo Shaonan’s face was getting increasingly pleased .
Profiting was one matter but oppressing Li Fuchen was another matter .
Achieving both would naturally be the best outcome .
With a smile that was hard to contain, Dongguo Shaonan looked at Qi Junjun, “Junjun, you shouldn’t have listened to him . This ore is originally supposed to be yours . Of course, if three pieces of heaven stones can be cut out, I will give one to you . ”
He wasn’t that generous to give all the heaven stones to Qi Junjun, after all, she wasn’t his woman yet .
“No need, I already have one . ” Qi Junjun said indifferently .
Seeing that the gamble paid off, Elder Liu was naturally the most delighted .
As a stone gambling master, betting on the right ore was the key to maintaining his reputation .
He wasn’t working for the Dongguo Clan without any cost . Every year, the Dongguo Clan would pay him five million low-grade spirit stones as a remuneration with the precondition of him betting on the ores successfully on frequent occasions . If the amount of spirit stones that he earned wasn’t more than what the clan invested in him, he would surely be evicted from the Dongguo Clan and in the stone gambling world, his reputation would also drop greatly and no other major clans would be willing to hire him .
Rather than taking the risk to bet on the ores himself, it was definitely much better to work under the major clans .
He didn’t need to take the risk and could obtain a large amount of spirit stones as a reward . Why wouldn’t he do so?
Just as the situation was turning great, the ore cutter split the ore open and informed, “It isn’t a subpar grade heaven stone, it is an inferior grade heaven stone about the size of a fist . ”
“What? An inferior grade heaven stone?”
The heaven stones were split into five grades, the subpar, low, mid, high, and extreme grade . Inferior grade weren’t even comparable to subpar grade and for the size of a fist, it would only be worth 10 mid-grade spirit stones at most .
This wasn’t a profit, it was a loss .
It was slightly better than a complete loss
Right now, Dongguo Shaonan’s face was as bad as it could be . A piece of inferior grade heaven stone was useless and he didn’t even bother about 10 pieces of mid-grade spirit stones .
“Continue to cut!” Dongguo Shaonan said in a deep voice .
If there was a subpar grade heaven stone, then this joke wouldn’t be considered anything .
The ore cutter’s forehead was perspiring with sweat as he continued to brandish his blade .
Cling!
After a dozen cuts later, the ore cutter met with another obstruction .
“It must be a subpar grade heaven stone this time . ” Dongguo Shaonan was staring intently at the ore and wished his eyes could penetrate it .
Among the crowd, Li Fuchen chuckled softly .
This ore did have heaven stones, but it merely contained three pieces of inferior grade heaven stones and the biggest was only the size of a fist . The other two were the sizes of half a fist and an egg . They would only be worth 20 mid-grade spirit stones and it was impossible to recover the capital .
“Apologies, it is still an inferior grade heaven stone . ”
The ore cutter’s voice echoed in the ears of Dongguo Shaonan .
“d.a.m.n it . ” Dongguo Shaonan gripped his fist tightly .
“There should still be one more heaven stone . ” Elder Liu consoled .
In fact, Elder Liu was even more nervous than Dongguo Shaonan .
“Big Sis, it is fortunate that you didn’t listen to that Elder Liu . ” Qi Guang transmitted a message to Qiu Junjun .
Qi Guang was bearing a grudge against Elder Liu, even though he knew that obtaining a heaven stone was all about luck .
Qi Junjun berated, “You better hang out less with this Dongguo Shaonan . ”
“Don’t worry, with Big Brother Li, I will not hang out with Dongguo Shaonan in the future . ” Qi Guang had already treated Li Fuchen as a money tree . He didn’t hope for there to be a heaven stone every time, it was already good enough for there to be once in five times .
“You…”
Qi Junjun knew what Qi Guang was thinking and was immediately angered .
Cling!
