Chapter 41: Dissecting the Stone

"I want to buy some stones." After choosing his target, Fang Yuan said to female Master Gu.

"New boy!" Female Master Gu immediately thought.

Even the worst gamblers will pay close attention when they want to buy the stone. First they will look closely, then put the stone on their palm and rub it to feel the surface and its weight. Even after such an action, if they discovered that the feeling was gone, they would give up. No one will say 'buy' in the beginning.

And for a type like Fang Yuan, who said 'buy' in advance, there was no denying that he was a novice who had his first stone gambling experience.

Although the female Master Gu thought of this, she did not show any difference in her expression, but continued to smile like a flower, saying gently to Fang Yuan, "Then which part did you choose?"

Fang Yuan pointed and said, "This cut."

He took it right away.

Fang Yuan pointed again and said, "This cut."

He felt puzzled, not expecting this youngster to buy two pieces.

“It looks like this youngster is the type of person who likes to gamble,” he evaluates mentally.

But next, Fang Yuan pointed again, "And this part, that part, I bought everything."

The female Master Gu was stunned, feeling extremely shocked, she could not help but judge Fang Yuan anymore.

“It looks like this ordinary looking youngster has an excellent family background. Otherwise, how could ordinary Master Gu have spare money to spend like this? ” Thinking about it, Lady Gu's smile became softer and friendlier. Thinking that the youngster in front of him was a real customer.

This was an unexpected joy!

However, Fang Yuan surprised him once more as he pointed to the furthest purple gold stone, "Oh yes, and those two pieces as well."

Female Master Gu could not help feeling internally shocked, “ Which young master is this from Gu Yue Village? It seemed like he was the heir of the main family branch. If I can get in touch with him, I might not need to stay here and work hard as a store clerk anymore.”

With this thought, Master Gu's female smile became softer and she even looked toward Fang Yuan seductively.

Six stones were placed in front of Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan took out sixty ancient stones and gave them to the female Master Gu.

His payment action caught the attention of all the other Master Gu in the tent.

"Oh? Someone will do the gamble.”

“We've been watching for over an hour, but we haven't acted. Now that someone tries it, we might as well watch. ”

“This is a student, he actually took out sixty ancient stones at once, his family must be rich. He looks like a greenhorn, hmph, gambling stone is not so easy. He will be seriously injured.”

Master Gu stood on the spot, discussing softly, all directing their gazes towards Fang Yuan.

“Young master, do you want to open the stone in place? Our gambling nest provide free service to open stone.” The female Teacher Gu gently advised, sending out a seductive look with her eyes.

Fang Yuan used the corner of his eyes to look at the crowd, his lips curling into a mysterious smile. He waved his hand, rejecting the female Master Gu. “Purple gold is my lucky color, and this is my first time betting, it means a lot. I'll open the stone myself!”

The eyes of the female Master Gu shone brighter, thinking, this heroic demeanor, as expected of the rich young master.

Never in his dreams could he imagine that Fang Yuan could be said to have no family in Gu Yue village, a vagrant without support, having to rely on himself for everything.

"Tsk, so what if you have money."

"I wonder which rich kid this is, came here to waste his parents' hard-earned money!"

“Foolish young man, how can one choose a stone based on the color of luck, sigh, this action is tantamount to throwing an ancient stone into the water, and waiting to see the ripples for fun.”

Master Gu in the tent lost their excitement at once.After thinking that Fang Yuan was a lost child, their already low expectations simply disappeared.

Some Master Gu even retracted their gazes and turned around to continue examining the fossils at the counter.

The changes around him did not affect Fang Yuan's state of mind at all. He expressionlessly activated the primordial essence within the ancient sea, pouring it into Moonlight Gu.

Fang Yuan used this right hand to take out the purple gold stone, holding it in his palm. Next he closed his finger and slowly rubbed the surface of the fossil.

The blue light continued to shine, waves of light rippled like water as the purple gold stone shrank in size, a large amount of powder from the stone shavings fell from Fang Yuan's finger slit, landing on the tent carpet.

"Young master has a great work!" The female Master Gu took the opportunity and immediately praised.

“This young man, he is useless. What an amazing skill. ” Seeing this scene, Master Gu's eyes glowed with a complicated glint. They began to look at Fang Yuan in a new way.

Fang Yuan used a blue light to rub against the stone surface; this was a form of careful Moonlight Gu use. Normally, one would have to use Moonlight Gu for two to three years to be able to reach this level.

With the age and identity of Fang Yuan's students, being able to do this was truly incredible.

"Look, he used the specialty of our Gu Yue clan, Moonlight Gu." Some Master Gu discovered this and immediately felt proud, gaining affection for Fang Yuan.

"But opening the stone with this method, is still too rough." Some of the older and more experienced Master Gu shook his head.

The purple gold stone became smaller and smaller, from slightly larger than a palm to the size of a fist, tightly gripped by Fang Yuan's fingers.

The blue light grew stronger as the fossil became the size of a pearl. Until finally all that remains is a pile of stone powder, falling on the carpet to form a small hill.

This is a solid rock, there are no Gu worms in it.

"As expected, he is unreliable." Master Gu shook his head.

"Young master, there are still five pieces left," the female Master Gu encouraged.

Fang Yuan's expression was calm, completely unaffected. He grabbed the second piece of purple gold stone and continued grinding. But the result of this piece was still a solid rock; there were no Gu worms inside.

The third part is the same.

Master Gu became impatient. "Stop looking. By relying on color to choose stone, there is no point in this gamble.”

"If he can get a good Gu out of this, I will eat the pile of stone powder on the floor!" Someone laughed insults.

"Don't be discouraged young master, aren't there 3 pieces left, you're only halfway through," the female Master Gu continued to push Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan grabbed the fourth piece, and when he reached the size of the palm, he suddenly stopped all actions.

"Oh? There's something!"

“The composition of the stone is changed, not purple gold deposits, but a kind of black ink.”

"Don't tell me he's really very lucky for guessing?"

The Gu Master around him exclaimed lightly.

“Young master, you have to be careful from here onwards. Don't make any sudden movements, the hibernating Gu worm is very fragile. If you use too much power, you will kill the Gu worm in it.” The female Master Gu did not expect such a situation to happen. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately suggested carefully.

Fang Yuan's movements slowed down, his fingers slowly rubbing as a small powder slowly fell down. Continuously repeating the action with many intervals, he was no longer as fluid as before.

The black-colored stone powder slowly fell down, and as the stone grew smaller, Fang Yuan's movements became slower and softer.

On the carpet, the stone powder continued to gather as Fang Yuan's black-colored stone was finally cleaned.

"Huh, what a pity, it's a rock inside a rock."

"Really wasting my emotions, I really think there's a Gu worm inside."

“You're too easy to fool, is rock betting so easy? Nine out of ten were all empty, how else would the shop make money? ”

“Young master, your luck is not bad. Getting a stone on the stone the first time, normal people can't do it. ” Female Master Gu tries another way to comfort Fang Yuan, just as to pave the way for the results that await him.

Getting nothing from gambling stones is very common, nine out of ten occurrences. According to him, Fang Yuan chose randomly, the chances of obtaining Gu's fossils were almost zero.

Fang Yuan smiled but did not reply, and he continued to take out the fifth stone.

He carefully grinded, and within ten breaths, the surface of the purple-gold colored stone was all erased, revealing a ball of yellow mud whose surface was rough.
