Weapon Master

Chapter 171 - Stone Gambling!

”Tang Huan, you’re thinking too much!”

Mu Yan said blandly with a calm expression. However, a strange expression that was difficult to detect flashed in the depths of her beautiful eyes.

Hearing this, Tang Huan didn’t mind, and continued to speak with a smile: ”Forces like the three great empires’ imperial families and Divine Weapon Pavilion s simply don’t need to go against the Star Ocean Commerce, so it is highly likely that another powerful merchant guild will secretly attack the Star Ocean Commerce.”

”In this world, the Star Ocean Commerce is the number one merchant guild without a doubt. But there are two people whose strength is close to the Star Ocean Commerce. One is the Spirit Feather Merchant Guild and the other is the Flowing Flower Merchant Guild.

”Judging from the tone you used the other day with Hu Sen, he should be the manager of this Chamber of Commerce in Dragon Spring Town, and your position in the Chamber of Commerce is obviously higher than Hu Sen’s.”

”As for Zhong Kang, he’s naturally your subordinate.”

Tang Huan looked at Mu Yan with a smile on his face, ”That Hu Sen is really good at scheming, when you have obtained the ’Phoenix Flame Essence’, I will take the opportunity to kill you, and then get rid of Zhong Kang without anyone noticing, even if we were to inquire about it in the future, it would all be for naught.”

”Tang Huan, what exactly do you want to say?”

After hearing Tang Huan’s analysis, Mu Yan could no longer hold back. She bit her red lips and stared at Tang Huan, her face turning ugly.

It was just a tiny clue, yet this fellow was able to deduce so many things.

Tang Huan said while beaming: ”Mu Yan, my intentions are actually very simple. Since this Dragon Spring Town has the ’Heavenly Wood Stone’, then, the ’Spirit Feather Merchant Guild’ and the ’Flowing Flower Merchant Guild’ that are not much weaker than the ’Star Ocean Commerce’, it shouldn’t be that they don’t have a few ’Heavenly Wood Stones’, right? Of course, you don’t have to limit yourself to ’Heavenly Wood Stones’. As long as you have enough gems, I am willing to pay a high price. ”

As he said that, Tang Huan deliberately dragged out his tone, ”For example, a ’Phoenix feather’.”

”What?”

”Ya!”

Suddenly hearing this, Mu Yan was startled, and at the same time, her young and tender voice sounded out.

Tang Huan curiously looked down and saw Feng Ming sucking on her delicate little finger. Her black eyes were sparkling and translucent, ”Father, hungry …”

”Alright, alright. We will set off immediately.” Tang Huan rubbed her head and comforted her, he then looked at Mu Yan.

”You’re willing to use the phoenix feathers to exchange for the ’Heavenly Wood Stone’?” Mu Yan took a deep breath, still in disbelief.

”Of course!”

Tang Huan laughed loudly.

that ’phoenix feather’ was indeed a priceless treasure; a ’phoenix feather’ was enough to make a high ranking Weapon Refiner. But to Tang Huan, who had already fused with the ”Nirvana Sacred Fire”, the remaining ”Phoenix Feathers” was like chicken ribs, tasteless, and a pity to abandon them.

Using ”Phoenix Feather” to exchange for the ”Heavenly Wood Stone” did indeed seem like he was at a disadvantage, but to Tang Huan, this was only a reasonable utilization of the resources in his possession. Of course, Tang Huan was not an idiot. A few ”Sky Wood Rocks” would use a ”Phoenix Feather” to exchange for them.

Hearing Tang Huan’s words, Feng Ming could not help but take a big bite on her finger, her beautiful and cute little face instantly wrinkled.

”It is indeed touching, but... ”You’re right!”

Mu Yan exhaled lightly, her heart also thumping, but after a while, she came back to her senses, took a deep breath, and fiercely looked at Tang Huan, and snorted, ”I don’t know about the situation of the Spirit Feather Merchant Guild, but the branch in Dragon Spring Town does not even have a ’Heavenly Wood Stone’.” These words of Mu Yan basically showed that she was a member of the Flowing Flower Merchant Guild.

”Oh?”

Tang Huan was startled, and immediately frowned.

If the Flowing Flower Merchant Guild did not have it, it was inconvenient for the Star Ocean Commerce to buy it, so it was even more impossible for the Spirit Feather Merchant Guild to appear. Even with Xiao Budian’s help, finding enough ”Heavenly Wood Stones” in such a vast area wasn’t something that could be done in a short amount of time.

Most importantly, even with the support of the ”Scorching Sun Stone”, the ”Phoenix Flame Essence” could only exist for two months. Previously, he had stayed in the Phoenix Lair for half a month, and from Bloody Flame Peak to Dragon Spring Town, he had spent an entire ten days.

At this moment, Mu Yan suddenly spoke. ”If you want to obtain the ’Heavenly Wood Stone’ in a short period of time, it’s not like there’s no other way.”

”What method?” Tang Huan raised his eyes slightly.

”Stone gambling!” Mu Yan spat out the two words.

”Stone gambling? ”What do you mean?”

Tang Huan was a little suspicious. These two words were rather familiar in his previous life, but this was the first time he had heard of it ever since he came to this world.

”Many gems were dug out from deep underground Gem Vein that were said to have existed since the ancient times, and their surfaces were covered by a thick layer of something called stone glue.”

Mu Yan slowly said, ”That stone pendant is extremely strange, not only does it completely isolate the gem’s aura inside, it also prevents the Genuine Qi from penetrating deeper. Even a top class expert like the Stage Nine Martial Saint would not necessarily be able to find out what kind of gem is hidden inside the pendant.”

”Only by cutting these ancient ores that were covered in stone glue would one be able to find out the true state of the ores. Most of the time, the ancient ores were just ordinary worthless stones. Of course, it was also possible to obtain low-grade, mid-grade, and even high-grade gems. Even gems worth ten million gold coins were not rare gems in this world … However, this will all depend on luck. ”

”So that’s how it is.”

Hearing her explanation, Tang Huan suddenly understood.

Aren’t these the stones from my previous life? In his previous life, when the Jadeite Ore Stone was mined, it was wrapped in a layer of weathered skin. In his previous life, when the Jadeite Ore Stone was mined, it was wrapped in a layer of weathered skin.

This kind of trade was like gambling, it was extremely risky. In Tang Huan’s previous life, he had heard many times that someone went bankrupt because of a rock bet, becoming heavily indebted, or even jumping off a building and dying.

In this world’s stone gambling, what blocked out was not jade, but gems. However, there was not much difference between the two.

”There are tens of thousands of different types of gems. To find an ancient ore with a gem hidden in it is already not easy. To find a gem with the ’Heavenly Wood Stone’ hidden in it is even more difficult.” Tang Huan thought for a moment, then laughed bitterly and shook his head, ”Mu Yan, your method is too unrealistic. Even if I sell those ’phoenix feathers’ and exchange them for gold coins, I might not even be able to find a ’Heavenly Wood Stone’. ”

”To others, it is indeed unrealistic, but to you, it might not be so. Don’t forget, your Xiao Budian is the second ranked Blue Dragon in the world.” Mu Yan smiled lightly.

”Xiao Budian?”

Tang Huan slightly froze for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, he looked at the blue figure that was ten meters away from him, following the Rainbow Spirit Mouse as it scuttled back and forth. ”Can you do it?”

It was very easy to find those gems that were hidden in the shallow layer of the ground. However, if it was an ancient ore, it was unknown if it could still make an accurate judgement regarding the location of those gems.

”How would we know without trying?”

”...”
