The villain's palm pet's vest fell off again

Chapter 103 Stone King Competition
After returning from Mahu's place, Li Duanyang and Xiu'er saw an old man with white beard and hair and a gray robe standing at the gate of the courtyard.

"Old man, may I ask what business you are here, or is there someone you are looking for?" Xiu'er stepped forward and asked tentatively.

The old man turned his head to look at Li Duanyang and Xiu'er, his eyes finally fell on Li Duanyang, his eyes were shining brightly, after looking at Li Duanyang for a while, he frowned again.

"Does the old man have anything to do with the previous owner? We just moved here." Xiu'er explained again.

The old man didn't speak, but gave a cold snort to Li Duanyang, flicked his sleeves and walked to the side.

"You!" Xiu'er didn't expect that she would offend someone again by talking to someone in a nice voice, and she was a little angry for a while.

"Come on, Xiu'er, maybe this person has something to hide." Li Duanyang smiled and stopped Xiu'er.

Looking at the back of the old man leaving, Li Duanyang remembered something. Xia Jingshuo told her before that an elder from Fuzong would pass by Dahe Village, so she asked her to pay more attention.

The biggest difference between that old man and other old men just now is his eyes. Just by looking at his eyes, it is impossible to tell that he is an old man with white hair.

When the other party first saw him, he didn't have any expression on his face, but when he looked at him again, there was obviously some dissatisfaction in his eyes.

If the old man is really the elder of Fu Zong, it is very likely that he was dissatisfied when he found out that he was pregnant.

Li Duanyang sighed in his heart. Could it be that none of their practitioners get married and have children?

If the other party really wanted to refuse her to learn spells because of her pregnancy, she also felt that there was no need to worship the other party as a teacher.

However, there was still a breath in my heart, and I couldn't swallow it no matter what.

"Xiu'er, clean up, let's go to Yunlai Town." Li Duanyang ordered, whoever made her feel bad, she wanted the other person to be in a bad mood!

After hearing Li Duanyang's words, Xiu'er's eyes lit up, and then she looked at Li Duanyang's stomach, "Miss, can you ride in a carriage with your body?"

Li Duanyang waved his hand, "I'm not so delicate, just slow down."

At least for now, she hasn't had any early pregnancy symptoms, she can eat and sleep, and sometimes she even forgets that there is a baby in her stomach.

When Xiu'er heard what Li Duanyang said, she stopped rebutting and went to Liu Yue to prepare the carriage.

When they arrived at Yunlai Town, Li Duanyang took Xiu'er straight to Baoyu Tower.

Shopkeeper Lin was talking to the clerk in the store, frowning, holding a string of bracelets in his hand.

"Miss Li?" Seeing Li Duanyang coming in, Shopkeeper Lin hesitated for a while, and hurried up to meet him.

I don't know what kind of relationship this young lady has with their young boss, but she actually asked the young boss to come to the store to say hello and ask him to take care of her more.

"Shopkeeper, this is 1 taels. I want to open the stone." Li Duanyang stretched out his hand and threw a money bag directly to shopkeeper Lin.

Since she was feeling uncomfortable, she wanted to influence Qi Yueze a little bit. She couldn't really do something to Qi Yueze, but she could still do something to the store under his name.

For the 1 taels of silver bills, she must make this Baoyu Tower bleed profusely!

"Here," shopkeeper Lin looked at the 1 taels of silver note in his hand, his face was full of bitterness, "Miss Li came at a bad time today, most of the good stones in the store are gone, if Miss Li doesn't mind , just play with those low-grade stones, I will give half price."

If before today, Ms. Li came to him with 1 taels of silver notes to open the stones, he would definitely have wished for them, but today is different, most of the good stones in the store have been taken away.

"Shopkeeper Lin, what do you mean?" Li Duanyang frowned, "Could it be that Baoyulou doesn't plan to do stone business anymore?"

The main business of Baoyulou is stone materials, followed by jewelry and jade, and a few red low-grade spirit stones that are regarded as the treasures of the town store.

If there is no stone business, the business in Baoyu Tower will definitely be greatly reduced.

"No, no," Shopkeeper Lin quickly waved his hand, "These days, the annual stone competition is being held in Yunlai Town. Whoever can win the title of Stone King will have priority in choosing stone materials in the coming year, and can exclusively [-]%!"

The most famous thing in Yunlai Town is stone materials. There is also a written regulation in the local area. The stone materials are mined by the royal family and sold at different prices. A stone king competition is held every year. Whoever can win the title of stone king will win the title of stone king. You can choose stone materials first, and you can get [-]% of all stone materials!
Ten percent, although this figure is small, it is actually ten percent of the stones mined in the entire Yunlai Town. Other shops can get two to three percent of the ten percent, which is already very good.

Moreover, in addition to the local merchants in Yunlai Town, there are also foreign merchants participating in the Stone King Competition. They also want to get a share of Yunlai Town.

The competition is divided into promotion competitions. In the first round, everyone takes out the stones they have chosen, and the organizer unifies the stones. Those who can cut out things pass the level, and those who do not are eliminated directly.

There will not be many people who miss in this round. In the second round, it is time to really test your eyesight. The organizer will ask everyone to open a piece of jade, and the wrong one will be eliminated, and the correct one will be promoted.

In the third round, it was still the organizer who came up with the questions. In this round, not only must the stones be matched, but also high-quality jade must be used to pass the test.

In this pass, many people will be screened out.

The fourth level is purely based on luck. Whoever gets the most valuable stones will be promoted, and there are only three places.

At the fifth level, it's the competition among those three people. It's also based on luck. Whoever can open the most valuable things will get the title of Stone King!

"Now not only the good stones in my store are sent to participate in the Stone King Conference, but most of the stones from other stone shops are also sent away. Those who have not been sent away basically have not participated in the Stone King Competition." Shopkeeper Lin sighed tone.

This year's Stone King Competition, for their store, the situation is not optimistic.

They barely passed the first and second levels. The selected stones were not good. Now it will be the third level. If it is still the same as before, their shop will probably be eliminated.

"Where is the Stone King Competition held? Can you visit it?" Li Duanyang immediately became interested when he heard this.

From Shopkeeper Lin's words, one can guess that there must be a lot of stones at the Stone King Competition, maybe she can have a chance to pick up the leaks?
"Here," shopkeeper Lin was a little embarrassed, "it's not that you can't watch it, it's just that it's not convenient for you, Ms. Li, to go there now, after all, the place is crowded with people." Shopkeeper Lin pointed out.

"It doesn't matter, I have my own way." Knowing what shopkeeper Lin was worried about, Li Duanyang didn't care.

She also has a spell in her hand that can come in handy.

Shopkeeper Lin tried a few more words of persuasion, but seeing Li Duanyang's insistence, he took Li Duanyang with him to the stone gambling competition.
