The nine stone gamblers looked away from Su Mu one after another, and then began to concentrate on picking stones.
In their minds, they had directly eliminated Su Mu as their opponent, and now it was a competition between the nine of them.
Xiang Haoran no longer paid attention to Su Mu. He had high hopes for Su Mu because of Su Mu's outstanding performance in the Yuanshi Pavilion last time. But expectations are still expectations. Now it seems that Su Mu's chance of winning is too small.
Su Mu ignored them, but picked up the jade book and went up, walking in front of each ore. After exploring the jade book one by one, he stopped and thought.
Thirty pieces of ore, even if the detection rate is only 50%, he can be sure that all the ores contain Yuan Stone!
But it is not clear whether it contains Yuan Stone or Yuan Marrow.
The nine people also stopped and thought. After thinking for a long time, they started to take action. They surrounded the ore in small groups and looked at it carefully, using past experience to determine which ore contained the essence.
Su Mu also started to move, walking among the ores again, observing the texture and feel of each piece of ore, and at the same time using his soul power to investigate.
"Soul power is indeed impenetrable."
After a moment, Su Mu shook his head. There were too many impurities in these ores, and the texture was too dense. The soul power could only penetrate the surface, unless his soul power could grow to a level comparable to that of an eighth-grade alchemist!
Xiang Haoran sat and sipped tea slowly. Stone betting was a delicate job, but it was also a slow job, so you couldn't rush it.
"Master Xiang, if multiple people choose an ore, how will it be calculated?"
Two quarters of an hour later, the stone gamblers gradually gained confidence and asked the owner of the hall a crucial question.
"Multiple people can choose an ore, but the value of the ore will be divided equally." Xiang Haoran put down his tea cup and spoke calmly. These words made the stone gamblers look ugly. They could not accept this rule.
Unless it's a big fight to seize a piece of ore!
"But if the essence of essence can be found, then no matter how many people choose that piece of ore, they will be able to win first place, and they will all get an additional reward of one or two essence of essence!" Xiang Guanzhu continued, with a flash in his eyes.
Li Guang, of course he didn't call these people here just to fight. He spent so much money just to choose people who can find the essence!
The faces of the stone bettors looked better after hearing this. They were all confident that the ore they found would definitely contain the essence!
"Master Xiang, I have made my choice."
"I've made my choice too."
"Master Xiang, prepare to open the stone."
The nine stone gamblers selected their favorite ores one after another and said to Haoran.
Nine people selected a total of six ores. Among them, a group of three and a group of two chose the same ore, while the remaining four people selected a piece of ore individually.
Xiang Haoran stood up, his eyes moved and fell on Su Mu. He saw that Su Mu was still wandering around and had not selected the ore properly.
"Mr. Su, have you made a choice yet?" Xiang Haoran frowned slightly, disappointment flashing in his eyes. It's been so long and you still haven't made a choice?
His mining ability is so strong, but his eyesight is a little bit poor.
"Almost." Su Mu replied calmly, and then quickly selected a piece of ore.
"That's it."
Xiang Haoran saw more disappointment in his eyes when he saw the ore Su Mu had chosen.
"Are you sure about that one?"
Su Mu nodded in affirmation, Xiang Haoran was completely disappointed, and his last bit of hope was shattered.
"It seems that I have overthought it." Xiang Haoran laughed at himself. He had prepared these ores, and he knew very well which of them had the essence. The ore Su Mu chose had no essence at all!
The nine stone gamblers laughed one after another when they saw the piece of ore Su Mu had chosen.
"You are really good at choosing, but you chose an ore that has the least hope of containing essence."
"I have explored that piece of ore several times, and I can guarantee that there are only high-grade Yuan stones in that piece of ore!"
"Giggle...could it be that he doesn't know the difference between high-grade Yuan Stone and Yuan Marrow? There is a huge difference between the two."
One of the female gamblers even covered her mouth and laughed. In her eyes, Su Mu was nothing but young and handsome.
"If you have a chance, you can give him some advice." The female gambler looked at Su Mu and licked her red lips. These gamblers are all romantic and happy, and they will definitely be very happy if they have a romantic relationship with a handsome boy.
"I really don't know what Mr. Xiang is thinking. Are you looking for such a person to insult us?" The other gamblers began to feel unhappy with Xiang Haoran. They already looked down on Su Mu, and now he didn't have any ability, which made them even more capable.
opinions.
Seeing the dissatisfaction of those people, Xiang Haoran's face turned ugly. He still relied on these people to succeed, but he couldn't drive Su Mu out. With Su Mu's current energy, he couldn't afford to offend him.
What's more, he invited Su Mu here on his own wishful thinking.
"Now that everyone has made their choice, let's open the stone." Xiang Haoran shook his head and waved his hand.
Then I saw several servants working together to carry a stone cutting machine. This stone cutting machine was larger and more complex than the one Su Mu had used at the Yuanshi Pavilion in Taodong City.
"This stone cutting machine can open any Yuan stone mine, including Yuan marrow!"
"Who comes first?"
After introducing the stone cutting machine to Haoran, he turned to look at everyone.
"I'll go first!"
The female gambler volunteered, nodded to Haoran, and the two servants went over to move the piece of ore chosen by the female gambler and began to open the stone.
The female gambler looked at the ore being put into the stone cutter with great anticipation. At the same time, she was full of confidence. She firmly believed that she would not make a mistake, and what would come out later would definitely be the essence!
The other stone gamblers looked nervously and expectantly. None of them hoped that the female gambler would reveal the essence. Once the essence came out, they would definitely lose.
Su Mu looked indifferent. The ore chosen by the female gambler was absolutely impossible to produce the essence!
"Buzz buzz..."
With the roar of the stone-cutting machine, nothing fell out of the pipe for a long while.
The eight gamblers looked nervous. They hadn't opened anything yet, which was not good news for them.
In most Yuan stone mines, the Yuan marrow is much rarer than the Yuan stone, so the Yuan marrow will come out very slowly when the stone is opened.
Nothing has come out now, which means that the female gambler's ore most likely contains essence!
Even Xiang Haoran began to look moved, his eyes flashing with anticipation.
"Snapped."
As the vibration amplitude of the stone cutting machine became smaller, something finally fell out of the pipe, and the sound of it hitting the ground directly touched everyone's heartstrings.
Xiang Haoran immediately stepped forward and picked up the spar that fell in the box. The nine female gamblers also rushed forward. Only Su Mu stood there without moving, still looking leisurely and contented.
