Chapter 482 The Not-So-Disgusting Dandy

There are star source stones in the front and back yards.

The total number of large and small items is close to a hundred, and by weight they weigh tens of thousands of pounds.

One pound of spiritual crystal.

These star source stones are worth tens of thousands of spirit crystals.

It's all waste rock, without a single star source.

Even robbery is not this cruel.

The owner of this store is a wicked person.

"May I ask if anyone in your shop has ever opened a Star Source?" Chu Ning asked curiously.

"Of course, if we hadn't opened Xingyuan, our store wouldn't have been open for so long, don't you think so, senior?"

The young man smiled and said, "May I ask when was the last time a star source was opened?"

silence.

The young man was silent for a long time, then replied awkwardly, "About twenty-three years ago."

The corner of Chu Ning's mouth twitched. It took twenty-three years to open the Star Source. How stupid would one have to be to come here to buy the Star Source Stone?

"Senior, you must have misunderstood."

Seeing Chu Ning's expression, the young man seemed to have guessed what Chu Ning was thinking and explained, "Senior, a ray of star source is worth tens of thousands of spirit crystals. Except for the largest pieces of star source stones here, the others can be bought for only dozens of spirit crystals. This is a thousand times the profit, it's worth a gamble."

“Moreover, many seniors are more familiar with Star Source Stones. The Star Source Stones they select have a higher chance of producing Star Sources. Generally speaking, you won’t lose money.”

It was obviously not the first time that the young man met a new guest like Chu Ning, and he spoke fluently.

"If this is your first time playing with Star Source Stones, you can buy some small ones to try your luck, or you can buy some and keep them. When you know more about Star Source Stones, you can decide whether to cut them or not. If you don't want to cut them, my store will recycle them according to the current price of Star Source Stones. If the price of Star Source Stones goes up, you will have made a profit."

What a talented person.

Chu Ning wanted to meet the owner of this Xingyuan store. He was simply a business genius. If such a person was introduced to Sihai Trading Company, it would definitely greatly improve the performance of Sihai Trading Company.

Not only did they turn Star Source Stone into a gambling product, they also developed a financial management routine.

Since he knew that there was no star source in these star source stones, Chu Ning naturally would not waste spirit crystals to buy them. Just as Chu Ning was about to leave, another group of people came in from the backyard.

"Mr. Feng, there are new arrivals in the store. I will be the first to inform you."

Among the crowd that came in, a young man was surrounded by everyone like a star. The young man was in the late Nascent Soul stage, and also the highest stage among everyone.

"The shopkeeper."

The young man who followed Chu Ning's explanation spoke respectfully to the old man who led the way, and at the same time said to the young man: "Greetings, Mr. Feng."

"Um."

The shop owner glanced at Chu Ning and quickly looked away.

Late Jindan stage.

If he were outside, he would be considered a strong man, but in the store, he would not be so good.

The Star Source Stones in the store are worth dozens of spirit crystals. The average Jindan powerhouse only has this much in savings, so it is unlikely that he would use all his savings to buy Star Source Stones.

Of course, there are some special cases. Some are born into noble families and can afford spiritual crystals, while others have made a fortune and want to take a gamble.

"Mr. Feng, please come this way."

The shopkeeper didn't pay much attention to Chu Ning. He himself was also in the late Jindan stage, but since he became the shopkeeper, he had been dealing with people in the Yuanying stage. Those who could afford to gamble with the Star Source Stone were all Yuanying powerhouses.

"Wait." The man called Feng Shao did not raise his foot, but looked at Chu Ning and asked, "Is this your first time touching a Star Source Stone?"

"Yes." Chu Ning replied.

"Which sect or family are you from?"

"I am a casual cultivator." Chu Ning replied with a smile.

"Self-cultivator?"

Feng Ansheng was a little surprised: "It's rare to find a casual cultivator with your temperament."

As a member of the Feng family, Feng Ansheng had seen many independent cultivators. When facing the children of the four major families, these independent cultivators were either envious or jealous. Especially when facing his group, they would appear anxious and nervous, but the man in front of him was not like that.

"What's your name?"

"Ji Yang."

Feng Ansheng said calmly: "Ji Yang, right? Since you are a casual cultivator, I advise you not to play with the Star Source Stone. This is not something you can afford. Save the Spirit Crystal to buy some pills for your cultivation."

Although Feng Ansheng's words were condescending, Chu Ning did not get angry. To some extent, although the words were harsh, they were true.

The Star Source Stone is indeed not something that an ordinary Jindan realm cultivator can afford.

"Why, do you think what I said is wrong?"

Seeing Chu Ning's silence, Feng Ansheng thought that Chu Ning was just dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to refute: "Just follow me and watch for a while."

"senior!"

The young man next to Chu Ning was also afraid that Chu Ning would offend Feng Ansheng, so he quickly sent a message: "Senior, this young master Feng is a member of the Feng family."

However, the young man did not know that his voice transmission as a foundation-building cultivator was no different from shouting with a loudspeaker in front of the at least Jindan powerhouses in the yard.

"good."

After a while, Chu Ning nodded and agreed, and the old man glared at his waiter, but when he saw Feng Ansheng didn't say anything, he didn't say anything either.

Feng Ansheng and his group, led by the shopkeeper, went straight to the Big Star Source Stone area.

"Wait a moment, give me that Star Source Stone."

Feng Ansheng suddenly pointed to another place, where there was a Star Source Stone weighing about ten pounds. Everyone at the scene was a little confused, because Feng Shao had always looked down upon such small Star Source Stones in the past.

However, Feng Ansheng spoke up, and the shopkeeper still picked up the Star Source Stone. Feng Ansheng said, "Just cut it open."

"Right here?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Do I really need to take such a broken stone seriously?"

Feng Ansheng glared at the shopkeeper unhappily. The shopkeeper quickly smiled and handed the stone to a middle-aged man behind Feng Ansheng.

The middle-aged man grabbed the Star Source Stone and squeezed it with his right hand. The stone skin on the surface of the stone slowly fell off. As the stone skin fell off, the middle-aged man looked at the stone with a gleam in his eyes. After a while, he shook his head and said, "Mr. Feng, there is no Star Source."

The man let go, and the Star Source Stone turned into powder in the air and was swept away by the spiritual power.

The expressions of the people present did not change. It would be strange if such a small Star Source Stone could be cut into Star Source.

A universally recognized characteristic of Star Source Stone is that the more stones there are, the higher the probability of Star Source appearing.

Although there is a chance of getting a star source from a small stone, it is extremely rare. Compared with the hundreds of times odds, if a star source can be easily cut out from a small star source stone, the shop owner would have cut it himself long ago and would not have sold it.

"Did you see that? Just now, more than a dozen spirit crystals were gone. How many spirit crystals do you think you can afford with your wealth?"

Feng Ansheng looked at Chu Ning and said, "I estimate that you can only afford two or three pieces at most. Such a small amount of spiritual crystals is not enough here. If you lose it all, will you be willing to accept it?"

"You are unwilling to give up, so you can only find ways to borrow spirit crystals from others, and then continue to gamble. In the end, you lose again. After that, you have no intention of practicing. As long as you have some spirit crystals, you will think about gambling to make back your money. I have seen many cultivators like you who are thinking about getting lucky. They all think they can control themselves, but they just play a little bit, and finally lose everything."

"Ask the shopkeeper how many people are like you, who thought they would just play once, but ended up not being able to stop, and even lost their lives."

The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly, but he also understood what Feng Ansheng meant, and said, "My fellow Daoist, what Master Feng said is indeed true. Many cultivators gambled on Star Source Stones, lost all their spirit crystals, and owed a lot of debts. In order to repay their debts, they had to go to the dangerous Star Sea and eventually lost their lives."

"Even someone with a family background like mine can only play with this once or twice every ten years. If you want to get the Star Source, you need to get at least a hundred Star Source Stones. If you don't have such wealth, don't touch this thing."

Chu Ning looked at Feng Ansheng in surprise. Although this man's words were harsh and he had a condescending attitude, every word he said was true.

I have no relationship with him, so there is no need for him to persuade me like this, and even waste more than a dozen spirit crystals.

It's a cuter second generation.

Chu Ning smiled slightly: "Mr. Feng is right. This Star Source Stone is indeed not something I can afford to play with. Thank you for your teachings, Mr. Feng."

"That's good to know. If you want to see it for yourself, just stand aside and watch how I cut out the star source."

Feng Ansheng was very satisfied with Chu Ning's attitude, and then he began to discuss the Star Source Stone in the yard with an old man next to him.

The old man looked around at the Star Source Stones, observing them carefully, and from time to time asked the shopkeeper about the origins of the Star Source Stones.

Chu Ning listened to the conversation between several people and felt speechless.

This Mr. Feng looks smart, but he is actually a confused person. It is hard to tell the truth from the shopkeeper's mouth.

According to the shopkeeper, these star source stones are all produced in areas where star sources are often found. If stones have brothers, each of these brothers and sisters of these stones will contain star sources.

Either the shopkeeper was exaggerating or he was not very clear about the origin of these star source stones. Only the boss behind the shop knew, and the shopkeeper only knew what the boss told him.

As for this old man, he is an expert on star source stones invited by Young Master Feng. It is said that he has opened up a lot of star sources and is quite famous among the surrounding stars.

The old man selected carefully and analyzed from time to time. Others watched and listened with great interest, but Chu Ning was the only one who was speechless.

He already knew that these star source stones had no star source. Now listening to the old man's analysis, he felt a little funny.

It seems that as long as one is an expert, whether in the previous life or in the world of monks, they all have the same virtue.

Half an hour later, the old man picked out three Star Source Stones, three of which weighed about 500 kilograms each, and one weighed nearly 1,000 kilograms.

"Master Feng, I think these four have the highest probability of producing star sources."

Chu Ning rolled his eyes. The bigger the Star Source Stone, the higher the probability of finding a Star Source. He already knew this from the young waiter. The expert took a long time to pick out the four largest ones.

This is fine. Even without the Dongxu Treasure Mirror, I can still be an expert.

Considering that Mr. Feng persuaded me, I should let him lose less money.

Just as Chu Ning was about to speak, his eyes narrowed and he looked towards the gate of the courtyard.

After a moment, everyone else looked towards the gate. No one noticed that Chu Ning was the first to discover someone appeared at the gate.
