Even in Devata Realms, stone gambling was just like gambling on earth. Out of ten gamblers, nine would lose…

Majority of the Origin Stones in the stone gambling market are worthless. Origin Stones with treasures are quite rare. For this reason, despite how popular stone gambling is, only a handful of people is actually lucky enough to obtain Origin Stones with treasures in them. Well, I’m sure there are also people who obtained precious Origin Stones but kept it a secret. After all, one might attract trouble if it’s known that one possesses a treasure,
Huang Jia Long said.
Soon after, they arrived at West Lane Town. There were many shops that sold rough stones with strange shapes.

Are all these shops selling Origin Stones?
Duan Ling Tian asked as he looked at the shops.

Yes.
Huang Jia Long nodded slightly before he led Duan Ling Tian to the largest shop in their vicinity.
Meanwhile, Bai Gang who had followed the duo out to protect them kept his distance. He knew Huang Jia Long disliked having someone constantly shadowing him, after all. He would watch over them from afar and make a move if he sensed something amiss. However, if the situation demanded that he could only save one of the two young men, he would undoubtedly save Huang Jia Long. After all, Huang Jia Long was the son of his sworn brother, Huang Yuan Fei, the City Governor of Passage City. Moreover, Huang Yuan Fei had saved his life a few times in the past. Even if his life was at stake, he would never hesitate to protect Huang Jia Long!

Greetings, dear guests. Are you here to buy Origin Stones?
A smiling well-dressed middle-aged welcomed Duan Ling Tian and Huang Jia Long as soon as they stepped foot in the shop.
Huang Jia Long looked at the middle-aged man and asked,
You have quite a huge collection of stones here, would you kindly recommend a few to us?


It’s my pleasure, dear guests.
The middle-aged man led the duo to the table in front that displayed a lot of Origin Stones. A few people wearing the same uniform as the middle-aged man, who were clearly shop assistants, were also recommending Origin Stones to a few customers in the shop.

Dear guests, this is Table 36. The Origin Stones on this table are the cheapest ones available in the shop because they’re small,
the middle-aged man said.
There were at least a thousand Origin Stones on Table 36. The largest stone was almost the size of the fist of a newborn baby whereas the smallest one was slightly bigger than a Spatial Ring.

They are cheap since it’s obvious that they don’t contain large treasures… They usually contain small items like Spatial Rings. However, if you’re lucky, they might contain Spatial Rings formerly owned by Celestial Kings, Celestial Lords, or even Celestial Emperors!
the middle-aged man said.

Why don’t you say that even if they contain Spatial Rings, it’s likely that they’re low-grade Spatial Rings with useless trash in them?
Huang Jia Long looked at the middle-aged man knowingly and said in a casual tone,
In fact, out of 100 Spatial Rings found in Origin Stones, it’d be difficult to find one that actually holds treasures.


Dear guest, you’re truly knowledgeable…
The middle-aged man was embarrassed when he heard Huang Jia Long’s words, but he was quick to recover from his embarrassment. Most customers were rather gullible so it was easy for him to fool them into buying Origin Stones.
Huang Jia Long no longer bothered with the middle-aged man. He turned to Duan Ling Tian and asked with a smile,
Brother Duan, do you want to get a few Origin Stones just for fun?


Not now…
Duan Ling Tian shook his head.
There were a total of 36 tables in the shop. Based on the middle-aged man’s words, Table 36 held the lowest grade Origin Stones in the shop.
After verifying it for himself, Duan Ling Tian thought to himself, ‘Amazing! These Origin Stones really do block out Divine Consciousness.’ He was still amazed even though he had known the Origin Stones could block Divine Consciousness. ‘Even the dirt and dust in Devata Realms are precious… These Origin Stones are amazing.’
Duan Ling Tian looked at Huang Jia Long and said,
I’m not interested in the Origin Stones here… Let’s move on to the others.

Huang Jia Long nodded slightly in response before he said to the middle-aged man,
Show us the other Origin Stones.

After a few bouts of recommendations, Duan Ling Tian slowly gained more understanding about Origin Stones and the stone gambling market… Generally, the bigger the Origin Stone, the higher its value. Origin Stones that looked like Celestial Weapons fetched a higher price since one could roughly guess its content based on its shape. Naturally, the grade of the weapon remained a mystery until one cracked the stone open.
At this moment, an apathetic voice rang from a corner of the shop, catching Duan Ling Tian’s attention.
I’ll take all of these sword-shaped Origin Stones.

A young man with an indifferent expression who was dressed in fine robes took out a huge number of prominent Celestial Crystals. He had bought all the sword-shaped Origin Stones in the shop with the exception of three stones that were almost the height of an adult.

He’s buying, at least, 30 Origin Stones. They should cost about 30,000 prominent Celestial Crystals, right? It seems like he’s not an ordinary person,
Huang Jia Long said as he looked at an old man who followed behind the young man.

Dear guest, he’s Han Yun He, the Young Master of Hidden Sword City. He’s also the only son of the City Governor of Hidden Sword City,
the middle-aged man replied in a hushed tone when he heard Huang Jia Long’s words.

The Young Master of Hidden Sword City?
Huang Jia Long raised his brow and muttered,
No wonder he’s buying all the sword-shaped Origin Stones. The direct descendants of the City Governor of Hidden Sword City are Sword Celestials.

Crack!
As soon as Huang Jia Long finished speaking, Han Yun He had cracked open one of the sword-shaped Origin Stones. A black sword appeared as the Origin Stone crumbled into bits and pieces.

A prominent Celestial Sword… What a waste,
the middle-aged said with a sigh.

A sword-shaped Origin Stone costs about 1,000 prominent Celestial Crystals… With that price, one would still suffer a loss if one obtains a Duke Grade Celestial Sword. After all, a Duke Grade Celestial Sword is only worth 10 to 30 prominent Celestial Crystals, depending on its quality,
Huang Jia Long said.
Han Yun He continued to crack open the sword-shaped Origin Stones. It did not take long before he had already opened roughly 20 sword-shaped Origin Stones. So far, he had obtained two Duke Grade Celestial Swords, and the others were only mediocre Celestial Swords.
A small group of onlookers watched Han Yun He in amazement. They were envious of the bold manner in which he gambled and the casual way he had spent so many Celestial Crystals due to his wealth.

What a loss…


20,000 prominent Celestial Crystals went to waste in just a blink of an eye.


Well… one must take risks when it comes to stone gambling!


20,000 prominent Celestial Crystals are all gone in a second… Ordinary people wouldn’t be able to gamble so boldly!


Young Master Han doesn’t seem to care at all. He really has the bearing of a son of a city governor. As the saying goes, ‘A tiger wouldn’t give birth to a dog’. His father should be proud of him!

Crack!
Han Yun He cracked another Origin Stone, revealing a sword with a green glow.

A King Grade Celestial Sword!
Duan Ling Tian quickly identified the sword. He did not expect Han Yun He to obtain a King Grade Celestial Sword! The table had turned in just an instant. As it stood, Han Yun He no longer suffered a loss. After all, a King Grade Celestial Sword was worth, at least, 100,000 prominent Celestial Crystals!
