Ji Taoist

Yan Buji saw Hua Fei's increasingly serious expression, and knew that his secret stone-cutting method, which was originally unknown, might be very important to them.

It was so important that the murderous intent in Hua Fei's eyes was so obvious when he turned his head, but Yan Buji remained calm.

"What is your relationship with Master Jieshi?"

"Master Jieshi? I don't know who you are talking about. This secret stone-cutting method was given to me by a crazy beggar when I was in the imperial capital."

"Crazy beggar? What does that person look like? What did he say to you?!" Hua Fei put his hands behind his back, obviously showing signs of intending to take action.

Yan Buji smiled faintly, even though he was really worried that the other party would take action, but since the other party asked, he would just answer truthfully.

After talking about his previous experience, Hua Fei was stunned for a while, frowning and thinking for a long time.

"So it was him? You kid... you're lucky. Since he gave it to you, I won't kill you. It seems that you are not the descendant of Master Jieshi."

"Oh? Shopkeeper Hua knows the origin of the crazy beggar?"

"Hmph, you don't need to know too much about this. I wonder how you, who is at the third level of Qi Refining, can get the secret method of Jieshi. If it's Wei, you should give him some face. Okay, I agree to your request, and you don't have to make up 10,000 spirit stones, but the premise is that you must not tell this secret method to others and swear a poisonous oath of Taoism."

Yan Buji stretched out his hand: "I swear, if I pass on the secret method of Jieshi to the second person, my Taoism will collapse and die!"

Hua Fei nodded, and looked at Yan Buji with some fear in his eyes.

Yan Buji didn't understand why the other party was like this. It seemed that the crazy beggar had a bigger background than he thought.

"Let's go, I'll play this drama with you."

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Hua."

Walking out of the lobby, the monks around looked at Yan Buji with envy.

Hua Fei's expression changed instantly, and he smiled and led Yan Buji to the large source stone behind him: "Daoyou, please look, do you like any of these large source stones?"

Although he knew in advance that there was nothing in one of the large source stones, Yan Buji suddenly felt something was wrong when he looked at the one Hua Fei pointed out.

Is there really nothing in this one?

"Hahaha, Shopkeeper Hua, I finally made a fortune today, I want to bet big! This one, I want it!" Yan Buji laughed with his hands on his waist, looking like a nouveau riche.

The monks around were stunned when they saw it: "Good boy, you actually exchanged the top-grade spirit stone for the big source stone, you really dare to gamble!"

"Aren't you afraid of losing all your money?!"

Yan Buji turned his head and said dissatisfiedly: "You guys just don't dare to gamble. If there is any rare treasure in this big source stone, it is much better than that top-grade spirit stone!"

"Tsk, don't hurt your waist when you brag, who do you think you are so lucky?"

"Of course I am lucky!"

Yan Buji looked unconvinced and walked in front of Zhao Lao holding the big source stone.

Zhao Lao also received the sound transmission, looked at Yan Buji for a few times, and asked: "How do you plan to open it?"

"Zhao Lao opened so many treasures for me, all thanks to Zhao Lao's knife!" Yan Buji laughed.

Zhao Lao looked at the big source stone, which looked like a dead tree branch, and there were not many places to cut it. It could only be cut into two to see if there was a treasure hidden in it.

Immediately, Zhao Lao picked up a knife and started to cut the stone, and Yan Buji squinted.

Sure enough, Mr. Zhao cut the branch in half from the end to the top, but the branches next to it did not move.

Because those branches were too small, it was not good to cut them well, and such thin branches could not hide any treasures.

But after Yan Buji read the secret method of unlocking the stone, he also had his own understanding of this kind of large source stone. It seems that the most likely place to hide treasures in this branch source stone is not the thick part, but the small ends.

Of course, it is also possible that his guess is wrong. After all, Hua Fei runs this kind of business, and he has stated in advance that there is no treasure in this source stone, which means that they have a way to explore it in advance.

Even if it is not very careful, there is a great possibility that there is no treasure.

"Nothing."

"Ah?! Impossible!" Yan Buji was stunned, his eyes widened, and he grabbed the unlocked source stone to check it in disbelief, and then stepped back a few steps and sat on the ground.

"Impossible, impossible, how could there be nothing! I don't believe it! I even used up all my belongings to buy this source stone, how could there be nothing!!!" Yan Buji roared madly, like a gambler who had lost all his money.

"Hahahaha!"

"Do you really think you are lucky?"

"Greed is the culprit. If I had known earlier, I would have stopped earlier. Why did I lose everything now!"

The monks around laughed, and the monk who was secretly observing Yan Buji frowned.

"This kid is really bold. He won't really gamble away all the spirit stones given by the emperor, right?"

"It should be about the same if you calculate it. If the top-grade spirit stone is sold for 100,000 low-grade spirit stones, plus 20,000 to 30,000 spirit stones, it is exactly the price of the big source stone."

"What should we do now?"

"Find a chance to kill him. It's a waste of time!"

Hua Fei walked in front of Yan Buji and smiled: "Daoyou, we agreed before. The top-grade spirit stone is discounted to 80,000 low-grade spirit stones, plus the 29,000 spirit stones you gave, there is still a shortfall of 2,000 spirit stones..."

"Don't say anything, profiteer!!" Yan Buji gritted his teeth and stood up from the ground, looking at Hua Fei unwillingly.

Hua Fei snorted coldly: "What? You dare to default on your debt?!"

"I..."

"I'll give you two choices. Either you take out two thousand spirit stones to pay off the debt, or you work in my shop to pay off the debt. Otherwise, I'll let you see my tricks!" Hua Fei snorted coldly.

"I!... Oh, okay. But can these two source stones be left for me as a thought, so that I can always be vigilant and not be greedy?" Yan Buji said helplessly.

Hua Fei waved his hand: "Whatever you want."

The cultivator who was secretly observing heard it and his eyes widened.

"What should we do?"

"This Zhenshizhai has an extraordinary origin... Forget it, let's not spend so much time on this gambler."

"But how do we explain the things here?"

"Tell the truth, how dare the emperor come to trouble Zhenshizhai?"

In this way, after the cultivator who was secretly observing left, Yan Buji also became an employee of Zhenshizhai.

For half a month, Yan Buji was doing odd jobs in Zhenshizhai.

After that.

Yan Buji took the initiative to find Hua Fei and explained his idea of ​​leaving temporarily.

"You plan to leave now? Aren't you afraid that your enemies will find out and cause trouble for you?" Hua Fei frowned.

Yan Buji smiled: "I am also a member of Zhenshizhai now. I think even if they want to cause trouble, they have to consider the face of the shopkeeper. And I won't be away for too long. I will come back later."

Hua Fei looked at Yan Buji meaningfully: "What do you want to do?"

"Don't worry about it, shopkeeper. Yan Buji smiled.
