Thirteenth Niang advanced instead of retreating, with a look of annoyance on her face. Chen Luo was startled, let go of his grasp, and jumped a few meters away. Thirteenth Niang raised her palms and was about to chase Chen Luo, when a sudden gust of wind
Blowing by, the skirt lost its restraint and actually fell down.
"Huh! Just wait for me!" She said bitterly, and the Thirteenth Niang grabbed her culottes, jumped up, and disappeared.
After the thrilling battle just now, Chen Luo also woke up and looked at the disappearing back of Thirteen Niang, thoughtfully.
It seems that I have to be careful in my actions in the future. I almost fell into the trap of Thirteenth Mother. If Thirteenth Mother wanted to take her own life in the first place, it would be hard to say.
When Chen Luo returned to the inn, it was time to light the lamp.
While the effects of "Drunken Lanling" wine had not dissipated, Chen Luo began to practice the Black Dragon Jue. Since breaking through to the middle stage of foundation building, Chen Luo felt that there was more space in his body and more needs.
Of course, the most obvious change here is that the speed of absorbing jade has been greatly increased. What makes Chen Luo stunned is that although the speed of absorbing jade has increased several times, the space of his body has also expanded several times.
If you include the density, the time it takes for you to fill your Dantian Qi sea is probably far away.
And after reaching the middle stage of foundation building, the Dantian Qi Sea is clearly divided into five areas. If you want to advance to the late stage of foundation building, then you have to fill up the spaces in all five areas.
Chen Luo felt dizzy just thinking about it. What path of cultivation had he chosen?
After a round of vomiting, Chen Luo's body became slightly fuller. Chen Luo hugged the jade pillow and fell into a deep sleep.
The Stone Betting Competition was held as scheduled, even with a day off, which did not dampen the enthusiasm of the audience. It seemed that the most exciting event that everyone liked to watch was the Stone Betting Competition.
As the old saying goes, it's hard for an immortal to break an inch of jade.
This stone gambling tests not only the player's experience, vision, but also luck. After most of the jade is mined, it will be wrapped in a thick leather shell. After countless years of weathering, the leather shell has become hard and tight.
It completely isolates the jade from the outside world.
A piece of stone may look plain and simple, but in fact, after being cut, a top-quality jade may come out.
However, some stones may seem to be all-inclusive and contain all kinds of water. However, after being cut open, the contents may be ruined and all the money lost may be lost.
One sword makes you poor, one sword makes you rich, and one sword cuts through linen.
The venue of the competition was also rearranged because of the Stone Gambling Competition. Based on the 700 registered players, the organizing committee arranged ten tables in the hall to display jade stones of different grades.
Elder Situ took the stage as usual and read out the rules.
Each person is allocated 100 points and gambles on stones. Each person can participate at most once in each round. The ten people with the most points in the end win and advance to the finals. Those whose points are deducted midway will be automatically eliminated.
After the rules were read out, the jade card flashed. Chen Luo looked at it and saw that 100 points were displayed on the jade card. Players immediately gathered in groups to find a suitable table for them to gamble on stones.
Chen Luo did not rush to place a bet, but observed that the ten tables, numbered from 1 to 10, were not exactly the same, but were arranged in order according to their levels. The first few tables had relative bets.
There are few, and the difficulty is low. The requirements for the later tables are much higher, and the difficulty of gambling on stones is much higher.
To be stable or to be aggressive? This is a question. Chen Luo quickly calculated in his mind. If it was to save points, then he could just hang out in low-level areas, or simply give up. Although he would win less, he would lose less. Ten
At the end of the game, there should be a lot of points left, and the probability of losing them all is very low.
And if you play all the way to the high-level area, it means high risks and high returns. It is possible that your points will be cleared at one time and you will be eliminated. You may also win a lot at once.
Chen Luo looked around and saw that the players from all walks of life had their own choices.
How bold a person is, how rich the land is. Chen Luo thought for a while and decided to gamble all the way up from platform 1, and then act behind the scenes. The operator of platform 1 was actually a girl, wearing a cyan costume.
, the cuffs are rolled up, and her hair is tied around her head, making her look smart and neat.
Before placing the bets, there was an introduction. The operator was holding a rough stone in one hand and chatting about it, including the origin of the stone, its characteristics, and the possible jade materials.
Generally speaking, jade, especially rough stone, also pays attention to its origin. If the rough stone comes from a good background, the probability of finding a high-grade jade is much higher.
The two rough stones on Platform 1 came from the top of Mount Tai in Dongyi. After millions of years of wind and sun exposure, they no longer look any different from stones. Moreover, after countless years of dyeing, the outside of the stones has also been wrapped in
A thick brown crust.
However, even so, the two stones were recovered by the jade collector's discerning eyes.
This is the first stone to bet on today. The starting point for betting on Site 1 is 10 points. If you select a high-quality person, you will automatically receive 10 points. If you select the wrong person, your 10 points will be automatically deducted and confiscated.
Chen Luo sensed it and realized that this rough stone was indeed different from the jade. At least the jade was still exposed, and one could easily sense whether it was good or bad. However, this rough stone, under the layers of wrapping, made it difficult to judge the authenticity.
Even if they are all genuine, it is difficult to judge the quality.
The operator demonstrated for about a quarter of an hour, then put away the jade and signaled for everyone to answer.
Everyone filled in their answers on the jade tablets one after another. Chen Luo thought for a moment and filled in his answers easily. Although it was wrapped in layers, it was still easy for Chen Luo to perceive.
After the 700 contestants finished answering, the conductor gave a signal.
I saw two strong men coming up with tools. They first fixed the stone under the special wooden frame, and then took out a rope with a handle at each end. The two strong men held one end of the rope and pressed it on
into the middle of the jade stone, and then quickly pulled the rope.
A strange thing happened. The rope was like a knife, quickly cutting the stone in half.
Chen Luo was stunned when he saw this kind of operation for the first time. What kind of rope is this so powerful?
"This is a wire saw. It looks like a rope. In fact, the rope is embedded with very fine and hard crystal sand. Ordinary jade can be easily broken." The player next to him introduced.
Chen Luo suddenly realized it. He looked carefully at the rope and saw some sparkling crystals on the rope.
"Is this the legendary Jade Sand? It's harder than jade?"
"Yes, this is just one of the jade removal tools."
"Is there another way to carry it?"
"Of course there are many. Depending on the size, format, and type of jade, different jade removal tools will be used."
"Such as weight tools, meteorite iron knives, etc.~~"
"Oh~~, Chen Luo understands." Because he has a meteorite knife.
"3,2,1~~" As the crowd chanted, the young lady on the stage separated the jade piece by piece, and turned the cut surface towards everyone.
The answer is clear at a glance. Although both pieces are sapphires, one of them is obviously of poorer texture and has more flaws.
Chen Luo successfully won 10 points. There were a few players on the field who chose the wrong question, and they were beating their chests and regretting it. This was the most elementary question, and they actually chose the wrong question.
The Stone Betting Contest is indeed extremely dangerous.
