Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven Technique

"It's so funny! He doesn't even know the rules. He's really a rookie!"

There was laughter all around.

Those gamblers looked at Lin Yan as if he were a fool.

This kid knows nothing, yet he dares to gamble with Wang Li?

And it’s a gamble with your life?

Apart from seeking death, they can't think of any other reason!

"Generally, gambling on stones is about comparing their values. For example, if you buy ten pieces of stone, you can see which one has a higher probability of producing a treasure."

Wang Li said coldly.

Ordinary people gamble on stones purely to make money.

For example, if you invest 10,000 Mysterious Crystals, as long as you can get back 15,000 Mysterious Crystals, that would be very good.

Most of the time, ordinary people will lose money when they play with stones!

Because it is possible that nothing can be produced from the ten thousand black crystals of stone, just a pile of scrap copper and iron.

But for experienced gamblers, it's not just about making money.

People also have to take a chance on probability.

For example, some people can produce treasures in three out of ten pieces of stone.

Some people may be able to find treasures in six pieces.

The latter can not only make money, but also gain face! Win the admiration of countless gamblers!

"What is the standard for treasure? Is it enough to get a black crystal? Or does it have to be something priceless?"

Lin Yan frowned.

"As long as it's not an empty stone."

Wang Li said.

"Okay! Let's play it this way!"

Lin Yan nodded.

"We both have restrictions. The total price of ten pieces of stone cannot exceed 30,000 Mysterious Crystals. In order to eliminate the possibility of luck, we will play three games, two out of three."

Although the stones in the gambling house all depend on luck, they are also related to the price. Generally speaking, the more expensive the stone, the higher the probability of producing something.

For example, for stones that cost tens of thousands of yuan each, there is a 90% chance of yielding something, at least a large piece of black crystal as a guarantee.

If there is no price limit, there would be no point in gambling on stones.

As long as you are willing to spend money, you will definitely be able to mine something out of a piece of stone that costs $100,000. In the end it will just be a draw and it will be impossible to tell who wins.

"it is good!"

Lin Yan nodded.

Both sides began to select stones.

Wang Li was very cautious in selecting stones. She first roughly picked out a few stones, and then had them brought to her so that she could carefully examine them one by one.

Knock it and observe its color, graininess, size, etc., and then select a stone from it.

"As expected of Miss Wang Li, she really has something. She seems to have mastered some rules. I think some of the stones are likely to yield treasures."

Some gamblers were surprised.

"Of course. The Wang family often has disciples coming to the major gambling houses in the Ancient City. The experience accumulated over the years is not just for nothing."

When everyone looked at Lin Yan again, they were all stunned.

Compared to Wang Li, Lin Yan is much more casual.

He walked slowly past the counters, then gently stroked the stones with his palms, as if he was touching a dog's head.

Occasionally, an idea would come to him and he would take out one of the stones.

"This kid? Is he really just guessing?"

Everyone looked at each other.

How could there be someone who gambles on stones like Lin Yan?

Just touch a piece of stone and walk away?

"This kid probably really thinks gambling on stones is all about luck and feeling."

Several disciples of the Disha Sect were gloating over the misfortune.

Their Disha Sect has masters of gambling on stones with whom they have very good connections. They have seen those masters gambling on stones with their own eyes. Even when a master is selecting a piece of stone, he needs to observe it carefully.

It even requires the use of special techniques to conduct repeated investigations before one can be sure.

How can there be someone like Lin Yan?

Even the master of gambling on stones wouldn’t dare to do this!

"This kid is dead! He's going to give up the two inns he took from my Disha Sect, and his life will be taken away as well."

Zhang Hai sneered, as if he had already seen the scene of Lin Yan kneeling down and begging for mercy.

"Senior, are these stones stable?"

Lin Yan asked in his heart.

The stones he had selected earlier were basically selected by Taixu Sword Spirit himself, who used the Sword King Technique to sense them.

He will only take it down if Taixu Sword Spirit says it's okay.

"Haha, if I'm not sure about a few pieces of stone, then I've lived for more than a thousand years in vain. Back then, my master caused a bloody storm in the stone gambling world and was known as the gambling king."

Taixu Sword Spirit is full of confidence.

Gambling on stones is not an industry that emerged after the demise of Canglan Sect. It existed long before Canglan Sect.

Why is this ancient battlefield called the Ancient Battlefield? Instead of the Ancient Battlefield?

It’s because it has existed since ancient times!

In the era of Canglan Sect, gambling on stones was very prosperous! At that time, all the major sects came to Canglan Domain to buy stones and cut stones.

Taixu Sword followed Taixu Sword King and gained a lot of experience in gambling on stones.

"I feel relieved now."

Lin Yan nodded secretly.

Soon, he selected ten stones.

"Why, so soon? Are you sure you don't want to screen it carefully again? You won't be able to regret it when you start cutting the stone later."

Wang Li couldn't help but sneer when she saw Lin Yan finish.

"It's just a small bet on stones, why are you regretting it?"

Lin Yan smiled.

"I don't know how high the sky is!"

Wang Li snorted coldly, and a few minutes later, she also selected ten stones.

"Now start cutting the stone."

The person in charge of stone cutting is the stone cutting master from the City Lord’s Mansion.

Stone cutting is also a technical job that requires good control of strength. Otherwise, even if there are treasures in the stone, they will be damaged in the process of cutting.

The stone cutter's knife is like cutting tofu, cutting along the edge of the stone little by little, and the stone falls off little by little like peeling a shell.

Soon, a piece of stone on Lin Yan's side was cut.

However, disappointingly, the stone was empty!

"Haha! The first piece is empty. I thought you were a master! You can choose stones without even looking!"

Zhang Hai on the side couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The other Disha Sect disciples also burst into laughter.

Everyone in the Tianlong Sword Sect turned pale, and Situ Jianyuan regretted it deeply: "If I had known this would happen, I would not have let Junior Brother Lin come to gamble on stones even if I had knocked him unconscious just now!"

Seeing Lin Yan's confident look before, he actually thought that Lin Yan had some ability to appraise treasures.

After all, Lin Yan had created too many miracles and surprises before, which made people have to doubt him.

But now he realized that he had overestimated Lin Yan.

After Lin Yan cut the first piece of stone, it was Wang Li's turn to cut the stone.

However, just as the stonecutter's knife cut off a layer, there was a sudden clanging sound.

"Huh? There seems to be something inside the stone!"

Everyone was surprised.

The stone cutter also slowed down and carefully cut away the outer layer of the stone shell bit by bit.

Soon, a fist-sized golden crystal appeared in everyone's sight.

"This is... a golden black crystal! Hiss! I didn't expect Miss Wang to cut out something like this on her first piece!"

There was an uproar all around, and the old gamblers were all excited.

Not all black crystals are without attributes, some have attributes.

These black crystals with attributes are extremely precious! Although they are not as valuable as the exotic crystals, they are much more valuable than ordinary black crystals!

However, the probability of cutting out a black crystal with attributes is very low. Even those masters of gambling on stones can rarely cut it out. Wang Li never thought that the first piece would produce a treasure!
