That's how gambling on stones works; the word "gambling" comes before the word "stone."
Some people bet their entire fortune, win, and rise to great heights.
If you lose at gambling, you'll be bankrupt, and your family will be torn apart!
Next, there are two more top-quality rough stones. One is an irregular-looking stone with many facets, and it is dark purple.
In fact, just by looking at the color, you can tell that this stone has an extraordinary origin.
Of the four top-tier stone gamblers from the Southern Barbarians, three have examined this stone, and the highest-ranking one, without exception, believes it to be a stone worthy of being ranked as a sacred piece.
The final price was 80 billion.
Actually, 80 billion is the lowest price. If there is competition for this stone, the price will definitely be driven higher and higher.
Stone materials are sometimes like antiques on a shelf; the listed price and the final transaction price are not necessarily the same.
Li Tianyi looked at the irregularly shaped, two-meter-long purple gambling stone, and his heart ached.
He has had this stone for millions of years and has always been reluctant to cut it.
I never imagined that what I was so reluctant to part with would become someone else's wedding dress today.
This is even more painful than his wife being taken away by someone else.
"Master Li, don't waste everyone's time, let's get started," Nangong Hao urged.
Cutting a top-grade jade stone is a rare occurrence, perhaps only once every 100,000 years, even in a large city like Nangong City.
After all, this level of rough stone is extremely rare, and everyone wants to know immediately what treasure is hidden inside.
Li Tianyi sighed in frustration, picked up the stone-cutting knife, and continued peeling off the stone layer by layer, just like peeling an apple.
"It's turned green!"
"Wow, that was fast?"
Li Tianyi had only cut it for a short time, and had only peeled off a quarter of the outer layer, when a milky white substance appeared.
"What could this be?"
Everyone's eyes widened!
Li Tianyi was also somewhat excited, so he sped up the stone-cutting process while becoming more careful.
Soon, this prized rough stone was completely cut open.
"Uh, this is... a failed project?"
At first, everyone looked on with anticipation, very curious about what the milky white stuff inside the purple stone would be.
But after all the purple stones were cut, everyone saw that it was actually a stick.
To be precise, it is a jade stick, straight, but strangely, it is not a complete stick, but a piece is broken off!
The broken area is not smooth and looks very rough.
"Half a stick?"
"What the hell? I thought it would be some rare treasure, but it's just a stick, and it's even broken in half?"
This half-stick is only one meter long, so we can deduce that if it hadn't broken, it would have been two meters long.
"Do you know what this milky-white stick is made of?"
Someone asked.
However, no one could tell what it was.
"It feels a bit like it was made of ordinary stone."
"Surely not. This is a top-grade rough stone. What it cuts out could be better than ordinary stones?"
"Hehe, what's so difficult about that? Even with a top-grade jadeite, you can cut out a lot of junk. That top-grade jadeite worth over 40 billion just now, didn't it just yield one piece of junk?"
No one knew what the broken stick was; all they knew was that it was milky white and possessed no other divine power.
It looks just like an ordinary piece of stone.
"Master Li, you have traveled all over famous mountains and rivers, do you know what kind of material this is?"
Nangong Hao asked curiously. Even though he was from the Nangong family and had seen a lot, he couldn't recognize what it was at this moment.
Not to mention him, even Nangong Daoyi didn't know.
However, given Nangong Daoyi's status, even if he wanted to know something, he wouldn't ask directly but would have someone around him speak.
"this……"
Li Tianyi stared at the broken stone stick for a long time, a look of doubt on his face.
After a long pause, he smiled wryly and bowed, saying, "Forgive my poor eyesight, but I can't tell what this is either. It looks like ordinary quartz."
It wasn't that he deliberately didn't want to say it, but rather that he genuinely hadn't noticed.
Chen Xuan reached out and grabbed the broken stick in his hand.
It's quite heavy, weighing at least several thousand kilograms.
Of course, for a quasi-god emperor like him, there is no difference between a few thousand kilograms and a few kilograms.
He looked at it and found that he couldn't see anything wrong with it. He was immediately puzzled. What exactly was this thing?
Is it a weapon?
However, there was not a trace of divine law power on it.
Is it a decoration?
Why is only half left?
Chen Xuan gripped the stick with both hands and tried to break it in two.
It was quite hard; despite his best efforts, the milky-white half-stick didn't budge.
You must know that he is proficient in the Law of Power, and he can easily break a quasi-god-emperor level magic weapon with a single twist.
He can even bend a divine artifact.
But the broken stick didn't react at all; when he tried to break it, it was like an ordinary person trying to break a thick iron rod.
This indicates that the origin of this broken stick is unknown, and it is also unclear what material it is made of.
However, it is definitely not ordinary.
"Hey Li, how much is this thing worth?"
"Big Black Ox asked casually."
Li Tianyi said with a wry smile, "Lord Niu, to be honest, I don't know either."
"No one can recognize the material of this, so it's hard to assess its value. If you ask me how much it's worth, I can only give you a rough range."
Big Black Bull said impatiently, "Stop talking nonsense and tell me quickly, how much is it worth approximately?"
Li Tianyi held up one finger.
Big Black Bull: "One hundred billion?"
Li Tianyi was stunned. Good heavens, you really dare to say that.
He quickly shook his head and explained, "Its value is between ten thousand and one trillion divine sources..."
Ten thousand and one trillion are a hundred million times different!
Are you kidding me?
The big black ox immediately glared at him.
Li Tianyi quickly bowed and begged for mercy, saying, "City Lord, even if you gave me a hundred lives, I wouldn't dare to play tricks on you!"
"However, it is difficult to estimate the value of this iron rod. No one knows its origin, so its lower limit and upper limit are both very high. I can only give a range for evaluation."
Generally speaking, when a range of estimates is given, the difference between the estimates and the estimates will usually not exceed ten times.
However, the range of valuations that Li Tianyi has given now is far too large!
"Lord Niu, calm down. Master Li is, after all, a top-level stone gambling master. He wouldn't talk nonsense in the field of stone gambling. He still has that much professional ethics."
Seeing that the big black ox was spewing white vapor from its nostrils, Yang Kun quickly said some nice things.
