Ouyang Jinyue took out a stack of silver bills from her spatial ring and slapped them on the table casually.

Xiao Jingting stared at it with widened eyes, thinking: This dead girl is a black sheep! The Marqui’s is really a wealthy and generous family. This was more than 100,000 taels of silver! He was really richer than anybody else.

Xiao Jingting originally thought that he became a little wealthy, but seeing Ouyang Jinyue, Xiao Jingting suddenly realized that he might not be as wealthy as this little girl.

After Ouyang Jinyue paid, it was finally Xiao Jingting’s turn.

“Do you want to cut the stones?” The shopkeeper asked.

Xiao Jingting shook his head and said, “No need.”

“Why don’t you cut it? It’s just two worthless stones, right? Do you have to hide to open it?” Ouyang Jinyue pouted in dissatisfaction.

Xiao Jingting, “…” This stinky girl, black sheep! She really liked meddling.

The stones that Xiao Xiaofan bought had always been cut by Xiao Jingting in secret. Xiao Jingting also bought a special stone cutter.

Xiao Xiaofan’s gaze swept over Ouyang Jinyue’s stones and said, “These stones of yours don’t have anything good.”

Annoyed, Ouyang Jinyue said, “What did you say? The stones you picked are the worthless ones.”

Xiao Xiaofan blinked his eyes and held his stone without saying anything.

“Dear customer, you can cut the stone in our shop. Our shop cuts stones for free.” The shopkeeper urged.

Seeing the gaze of quite a few people around him and weighing it all up, Xiao Jingting finally nodded, saying, “Alright.”

Ouyang Jing Yue glanced at Xiao Xiaofan and said, “Cut mine first, then cut his.”

Xiao Xiaofan rolled his eyes and did not speak.

Ouyang Jinyue’s stones were cut one by one and produced several pieces of top-grade spiritual jade, it was not bad. Although they were good, they were worth 50,000 to 60,000 silver taels after rough estimation.

Many people around Ouyang Jinyue were complimenting her. She bought ten stones and nine of them were empty. Ouyang Jinyue at least recovered some costs, her luck was not bad.

If it wasn’t for Xiao Xiaofan’s peculiar ability, Xiao Jingting would never have dabbled in this stuff.

In the meantime, Ouyang Jinyue looked at the results of the opening and was somewhat dissatisfied.

“Little fool, it’s your turn.” Ouyang Jinyue said.

Xiao Xiaofan glanced at Ouyang Jinyue and sullenly said, “I’m not a fool. My name is Xiao Xiaofan.”

Ouyang Jinyue shrugged her shoulders and said, “What a lousy name you have.”

Xiao Xiaofan bit his lip and ignored Ouyang Jinyue.

“Cut carefully.” Xiao Xiaofan carefully put the stone down and gave it to the stone cutter.

“Alright, little guest, don’t worry.”

Xiao Xiaofan nodded and squatted nervously on the side.

Ouyang Jinyue looked at Xiao Xiaofan’s appearance as if he were facing a big enemy and snorted lightly, saying, “It’s just a worthless stone, but you still regard it as a treasure.”

Xiao Xiaofan glanced at Ouyang Jinyue without saying anything.

The stone cut smaller and smaller, but nothing came out.

Ouyang Jinyue looked at Xiao Xiaofan’s nervous appearance and gloated, “I told you that this stone of yours is worthless, but you still didn’t believe it.”

Xiao Xiaofan stared at the side and couldn’t help saying, “Be careful, be careful.”

“Hey, it’s stone in stone.”

Cutting the center of the stone, it turned amber and something could be seen in it.

“Little fool, you hit it big this time.”

“Oh, a worm.” Ouyang Jinyue leaned in to see what was going on “There’s a worm in your stone. Although it is a bit novel, it is not worth the money.”

“Dear customer, how about we buy this stone of yours for thirty thousand taels of silver?” The voice of the owner of the gambling stone shop sounded calm.

The stone Xiao Xiaofan picked was not of good quality just like Ouyang Jinyue said. Although it was large, it was only worth 5,000 taels.

“No, no.” Xiao Xiaofan shook his head quickly.

“Brother, I looked at the worm in this stone and I think it’s lovely. Why don’t I pay you one hundred thousand taels of silver for it?” A man in a brocade robe walked out.

“Kid, the stone you gambled out is worth a hundred thousand taels.” Ouyang Jinyue was a little surprised.

Xiao Xiaofan looked at the worm in the stone without blinking, swallowed his saliva, and said, “This worm smells good, it must be delicious when fried.”

Ouyang Jinyue looked at Xiao Xiaofan in disbelief and said “Eh, you actually eat fried worms, you’re disgusting.”

Xiao Xiaofan glanced at Ouyang Jinyue with dissatisfaction and said, “Deep-fried insects are delicious.”

As soon as Xiao Jingting heard the bidding of the shopkeeper and the brocade robed man, he knew that this worm was very good. But they tried to take advantage of him because he didn’t know about it, “This thing will not… be sold.”

“I’ll pay fifteen spirit stones.” A flat voice sounded, interrupting Xiao Jingting’s words of rejection.

A man with white hair and a wine flask hanging from his body, walked over.

Xiao Jingting was shocked, spirit stones were good things! There was very little production of spirit stones in this realm, and the spirit stone mines were all controlled by some of the top forces. One spirit stone could be sold for fifty to sixty thousand taels when it was available, fifteen spirit stones were close to seventy-eighty thousand taels of silver, which was close to the Xiao family’s yearly income.

Although the man looked ordinary, the shop suddenly quieted down once this man appeared.

“Senior Zhao, why are you here?” The shopkeeper rushed up and even greeted him with a smile.

Zhao Jin glanced at the shopkeeper and said, “Wang Quan, buying Ninth Grade Spiritual Silkworm for 30,000 taels of silver. I am afraid it’s not enough.”

The shopkeeper, Wang Quan, smiled awkwardly.

Senior! Xiao Jingting’s heart thumped, the shopkeeper cultivation was at the eighth level of Qi Practice, the one who was addressed as senior by him was naturally a Foundation Building Cultivator.

“Little friend, I recently had to refine pills and am in need of this spirit silkworm, I wonder if you can sell it to me?” Zhao Jin said.

Xiao Jingting nodded and said in a hurry, “Of course you can. Senior Zhao, if you like it, feel free to take it.” A strong Foundation Building cultivator! He couldn’t afford to offend such a big shot.

Zhao Jin glanced at Xiao Jingting and threw out a bag of spirit stones and a token. “I won’t take advantage of you. Take this spirit stone and this token. If you encounter anything, you can come to me.”

Xiao Jingting quickly thanked him, thinking: Today they were in the spotlight. He was afraid that someone would start paying too much attention to him. Zhao Jin’s token was equal to a talisman, which should be able to make those who targeted him have some scruples. Thinking of Zhao Jin safeguarding his integrity, he couldn’t stop his feelings becoming a little better toward this senior Zhao.
