Yu Yanluo's heart stirred, and she looked in the direction where his gaze was.
In the center of the pavilion, a table was casually supported by several stones. It was clear that the person who arranged this "fairy" space was extremely elegant. Although the stones were placed there somewhat haphazardly, they had a natural and harmonious beauty.
Yu Yanluo walked over and examined it carefully. Because the stone was too big, all she could see with her Medusa Eyes was a white blur, no different from an ordinary piece of waste rock.
"Azu, are you sure it's this stone?" She was a little confused, thinking she had made a mistake.
“Yes, it’s that big one,” Zuan confirmed again.
Yu Yanluo bit her lip. In the current situation, she couldn't ask Zu An for details. After hesitating for a while, she finally chose to trust him and asked the Biyuan steward, "How much is this stone?"
The housekeeper of Biyuan was taken aback: "This piece? This isn't a rough stone; it's just an ordinary decorative stone."
"Yes, this is it." Yu Yanluo was also very uneasy, but now she could only grit her teeth and persevere.
The housekeeper of Biyuan was a little puzzled, wondering if the people in Biyuan had misjudged it. He examined the large rock again. Having worked here for many years, he was quite skilled at judging stones, if not a genius. But no matter how you looked at it, it was just an ordinary rock.
So he replied, "It's worth one hundred Heavenly Rank Yuan Stones."
Zu'an complained, "Are you robbing me? You just said it was just an ordinary stone, but you're charging a hundred Heavenly Rank Yuan Stones?"
The housekeeper of Biyuan replied calmly, "Once it enters this Immortal-grade category, it absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and even the most ordinary stone can become extraordinary. This price is the cheapest among the Immortal-grade stones; I have already shown my utmost sincerity."
Yu Yanluo said in a deep voice, "Then let's make it one hundred Heavenly Rank Yuan Stones."
As she spoke, she took out one hundred Heavenly Rank Yuan Stones and handed them to the other party. After all, she was once the richest person in the human race. Although she left in a hurry, she still had one hundred Heavenly Rank Yuan Stones with her.
The steward of Biyuan looked strange, wondering if all the experts in the garden had misjudged the gem. Was this really a rare gem?
No matter how he looked at it, it was just an ordinary stone. Since he had already made the promise, he had no choice but to bring out the boulder and hand it to her.
At this moment, a gasp came from the other side. It was seen that Shi Min used his finger-flicking technique to gently tap a disc-shaped rough stone, and the stone actually emitted a series of clear phoenix cries.
"Could there be something related to the phoenix hidden inside this rough stone?"
"Have you noticed the rings on the surface of this stone? At first, I thought they were tree rings or something, but now it looks like the patterns of a phoenix."
"Do you think it's possible that it's a phoenix egg?"
"That's incredible. It's only dormant inside this immortal-grade spirit stone. With proper nurturing, it might even hatch into a real phoenix."
"The phoenix only exists in ancient myths. I never thought I would see a phoenix descend to earth."
...
Hearing the discussion over there, Yu Yanluo's expression changed. If it really was something related to the phoenix, it would definitely be an unparalleled treasure. Not to mention that her stone was not an ordinary stone, even if it did yield something, it would probably not be as valuable as this one.
Yun Jianyue also became a little worried: "It's over, it's over, how are we going to win if they pick a phoenix? Especially since Xiao Anzi picked a broken rock."
"Have some faith in him. He won't act recklessly at a time like this," Yan Xuehen said, though she herself had some doubts.
"Hey, didn't you used to look down on him the most, wanting to beat and kill him? Why are you talking about him all the time lately, like you're bragging about your own man?" Yun Jianyue said this on purpose, not because she really thought so, but to tease her with this kind of joke, because she knew that Yan Xuehen couldn't joke about matters of men and women, especially about her and her disciple's man.
Yun Jianyue really enjoyed watching Yan Xuehen get angry but was helpless against her.
But this time, Yan Xuehen didn't seem angry at all; instead, she looked guilty and shy.
Hmm, she seems a bit strange lately.
Just as he was about to ask, Shi Min walked over with the rough stone: "How much is this stone?"
The housekeeper of Biyuan opened his mouth, looking pained, and said, "Five thousand Heavenly Rank Yuan Stones."
Judging from the strange phenomenon just now, there must be treasures hidden in these rough stones. If he could do it all over again, he would definitely collect all of these rough stones.
These rough stones have been displayed here for years, and many customers are familiar with them. They can't raise the price at the last minute, lest it damage Biyuan's reputation and offend the powerful Lion Clan.
“I don’t have that many Heavenly Rank Yuan Stones on me right now. Put them on the Lion Clan’s tab and I’ll have someone send them over tomorrow,” Lion Compassion said.
The steward of Biyuan was overjoyed, but hurriedly said with difficulty, "Third Prince, this is a difficult matter. Biyuan never extends credit."
Since we can't afford to buy it, we can rightfully take back this stone that contains treasure.
"What? Would our dignified Lion Clan Prince possibly cheat you out of five thousand Heavenly Rank Yuan Stones?" the Lion King glared at him angrily.
The steward of Biyuan shook his head and said, "Princes, please calm down. It's not directed at you, but rather a rule established a long time ago. Because gambling on stones is very addictive, it can easily lead to the destruction of families. To prevent such tragedies from happening, Biyuan established this rule. Afterwards, many people calmed down and thanked us, saving countless families. So we hope that you princes will understand."
At this moment, Hu Yong finally found an opportunity to mock: "You don't have that many Yuan Stones, yet you want to get them for free? Butler, I'll buy this stone."
