Chapter Sixteen: Playing Big, Millennial Thunderwood
a well.Xiner, watch closely, I'll take care of him myself!Then.He took a step forward, his fists clenching tightly.His energy surged in his fists."Yunhao, you were hiding before, choosing to be a usel...Seeing Yun Hao agree, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then the crowd immediately erupted in excitement.
"I bet ten thousand, on Young Master Xu's victory. Yun Hao, do you dare to accept"
"I bet fifteen thousand taels, on Xu Gongzi winning!"
"I bet seventy thousand taels, on Master Xu's victory!"
Yun Hao looked at Zhang Feng, who was standing beside him. He had just egged Yun Hao on to take the bet and make a fortune, but now he bet 70,000 taels of silver on Xu Li winning.
Zhang Feng smiled with a cheeky grin and said, "Yun brother, this is what I call preparing for all outcomes. In case you lose, I can at least win something back!"
This person's shameless audacity once again refreshed Yun Hao's perception.
"Are there any more bets" Yunhao said.
"I...eight thousand taels!"
"Nine thousand taels!"
Thirty thousand taels!
>
……
in the blink of an eye.
Yun Hao and Xu Li's gamble on stones attracted a massive wager of 200,000 taels of silver from the outside bets!
No one thought Yun Hao could win.
Yun Hao's loss meant his Fire Essence Jade was gone, and he was left owing over 200,000.
In the eyes of everyone, after today, Liu Yun City will no longer have the Kuang Jian Martial Arts Hall!
Seeing no one continued to place bets, Xu Li's fan in his hand snapped open with a "pa" sound. He fanned himself with an air of elegance and said, "Yun Hao, let's begin!"
That being said.
Xu Li's folding fan, with another forceful flick, was aimed at the area on the second floor of the gambling den where other ores were placed.
Yun Hao also walked over.
Two rows of shelves, with a hundred or so small and large low-grade ore.
At just a glance, Yun Hao was certain that these source stones were far superior to the ones Zhang Feng had taken out earlier.
Now.
Xu Li had already walked to the side of a row of shelves. Suddenly, his expression became serious, and he reached into his bosom and took out a dark small iron rod.
Those with sharp eyes immediately recognized the origin of this small iron rod.
"Black Gold!"
"Xu Li actually has this thing!"
"The Black Gold Rods, but they are the treasures of Yang Master from our Liu Yun City. There are only two in total. Yang Master said that his Black Gold Rods will only be given to his disciples!"
"So, Xu Li has already become a disciple of Master Yang"
Everyone was shocked.
Because, the Yang Master they spoke of, whose full name is Yang Dafu, is the only person in Liu Yun City who truly understands how to identify source stones.
People of this kind are called source masters.
An ordinary source master is divided into low rank, middle rank, high rank, and top rank.
And above the highest, is the Earth Master.
Above a geomancer lies the legendary celestial master!
As is well known, Yang Dafu's method for identifying source stones mainly relies on a black gold rod!
With the black gold staff in hand, Xu Li smiled triumphantly: "You're right,"
"As early as three months ago, Master Yang already took me as his disciple!"
Saying that, he also looked at Yun Hao with a provocative look and said, "Yun Hao, if we fight, you're sure to lose!"
Yun Hao's expression was not the panic everyone had expected, only calmness.
From the moment he stepped into the casino today, he had remained so calm, as if an earthquake or a tsunami were happening right before his eyes, yet it couldn't faze him.
At this time.
Xu Li has already started.
Only wisps of primordial energy surged onto the surface of the black gold staff in his hand.
"Om!"
The Black Iron Staff trembled slightly, emitting a crisp sound.
"Ding!"
A black metal rod strikes a piece of ore.
Xu Li held his breath, carefully listening to the tapping sounds. After several taps, he shook his head and replaced the source stone with a new one.
Xu Li was busy for a while.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Don't be fooled by him just whacking away with his black gold staff. In reality, the whole process drains a tremendous amount of energy and requires intense focus!
After about an hour and a half, he stopped, his sweaty face breaking into a smile.
"This is the only source stone."
He pointed at the elliptical-shaped Source Stone in front of him.
Gambling on jade.
There is an unwritten rule.
No need to ask about the price.
Because the loser has to pay for two Origin Stones.
Besides that.
If both players have opened treasures, the winner will be determined by the treasure's rank. The winner will also receive the treasure opened by the loser.
"Yunhao, it's your turn!"
Xu Li stared at Yun Hao, his eyes blazing with conviction, as if he had already won!
A group of people were gleeful, thinking about making a killing later, and their mood was excellent.
In Liuyun City's gambling houses, even if someone loses all their money, the gambling house will advance them funds.
The loser owes the gambling den!
Casinos make a profit by taking a cut of the winnings, and then charging interest on outstanding debts. This way, they earn more, and people feel safer gambling in the casino.
The bigger the business, the better!
Anyway.
No one owes them anything they haven't paid back.
Behind them, there's the City Lord's Mansion!
This is the time.
Yunhao had already walked to the shelf where the ore was placed.
Qi gathered in his palm, his hand swiftly gliding over a row of ore stones.
Compared to Xu Li's methods, his are much simpler.
Of course, to others, this scene was pure chaos, a complete mess.
It was just a few fleeting moments.
Yun Hao's palm stopped on a source stone.
"That's the one."
Yún Hào said.
Xu Li's eyes narrowed slightly, a cold smile spreading across his face as he said, "I just checked this source stone, it's completely worthless. Yun Hao, you've already lost!"
Yun Hao said calmly, "You're declaring a winner before the stone has even been opened. Are you afraid of losing"
Xu Li gritted his teeth, let out a cold snort, and roared: "Open the stone!"
Suddenly.
Then a lapidary from the casino, carrying special tools, came over and carefully cut the source stones Xu Li had chosen.
Half an hour later.
The ore was cut open.
A burst of green light erupted, along with a refreshing fragrance that filled the air.
Everyone who smelled this fragrance immediately felt a sense of comfort and refreshment throughout their body, with clear minds and invigorated spirits.
"Essence of Tranquility!"
Xu Li's face flushed with excitement. He immediately used a bottle to capture the blue liquid droplets from the source stone, sealed it tightly, and then laughed loudly: "Huangjie top grade, Qingxin Lingye, one drop worth a thousand taels of silver, here there are at least twenty drops, worth no less than 20,000 taels of silver!"
Wow!
"As expected of Master Yang's disciple!"
"Congratulations, Xu!"
A chorus of compliments arose.
Xu Li took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and stared at Yun Hao again, sneering: "Your turn!"
The casino workers responsible for opening the jade stone stepped forward.
Yun Hao said calmly: "No need to go through so much trouble."
As soon as the words fell.
The source stone in his hand, flew into the air.
"Whoosh!"
Yun Hao instantly drew his sword and slashed!
One sword.
A source stone is divided in half.
Again, with a whoosh, the sword was sheathed.
One go.
His left hand, already reaching out, seized it.
“Is there anything”
"What the hell!"
He's just being pretentious. He got lucky before, pure chance, a stroke of dumb luck, like hitting the jackpot by accident. You can't expect him to be that lucky every time!
Xu Li sneered: "All talk and no substance, Yun Hao, you lost!"
The loser is you.
A hint of a smile curved Yun Hao's lips, and then, his left hand slowly opened up...
All eyes were drawn to where he was, everyone eager to see what kind of joke Yun Hao had cooked up.
>Then.
Every person's face,
All of them showed a strange expression.
"What is this thing"
"Darn it all!"
"I'm dying of laughter, Yunhao this fool, holding this thing, he actually said Xu Li lost, doesn't he have any idea"
"I have to say, his luck today is unbelievable. He's hit the jackpot again, stumbling upon something from the source stone. It's a shame though, he got a useless piece of charcoal. Hahaha!"
Rumbling laughter erupted once more.
Every person's face wears a smug expression.
Yun Hao lost.
Then those who bet, won!
Yun Hao glanced at the ugly faces of the crowd and said lightly, "A mere Heart-Clearing Liquid, even a hundred drops, is not as good as this piece of thousand-year Thunderwood in my hand."
That's what he said.
A crowd of onlookers burst into laughter, they had never even heard of the thousand-year-old thunderwood, and thought Yun Hao was talking nonsense. They refused to accept the fact that they had lost.
Ke Xu's expression changed suddenly. He stared intently at the black object in Yun Hao's hand for a few moments, and his heart filled with panic.
Sure enough… it’s a millennium thunderwood!
"He couldn't let him be, not until it was decided. He had to suppress him now and take his thousand-year thunderwood!" Xu Li thought inwardly.
He can't afford to lose.
If you lose, you have to pay 100,000 taels of silver and lose face.
Therefore.
Xu Li shouted: "I accept the outcome. Yun Hao, since you refuse to admit defeat, don't blame me for being impolite. Tieshan, take him down!"
After his words fell.
One of Xu Li's black-clad guards instantly stepped forward, swirling a powerful gust of air that transformed into a raging black whirlwind and charged towards Yun Hao!This emerald blood snake was instantly crushed into a paste.The next moment.Below the marsh, bubbles rose one by one.Only to see blood snakes with emerald rings emerging from the ground, densely packe...
