C1705 Gambling Stone(1)

"Enough. There's no point in fighting a war of will, and no matter how much you glare at them, they will never come out and win. Since the two of you have already made the bet, let's begin. Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, Gu Taixu smiled and tried to smooth things over as he advised Lin Bai and Jiang Ling.

"Brat, just you wait. If I don't win that flying sword of yours and tell you to throw him into your maternal grandma's house, then I will steal the word 'River'!" After Jiang Ling heard these words, he coldly snorted and threw aside those harsh words. He then turned around and walked towards the pile of ores!

"We still don't know who will win. We only found out the result at the last moment." Lin Bai smiled noncommittally as he beckoned Leng Zhan Yan over, then he walked over to another pile of ores.

Looking at the backs of the two, the crowd immediately burst into an uproar. Everyone's faces were filled with the expression of watching a good show. They hadn't thought that the auction for the ore would have such a good show right after it had begun. However, in their eyes, Lin Bai had already become a symbol of being overconfident. They felt that this time around, Lin Bai didn't even have the slightest chance of winning.

"Elder Iron, do you think that kid is truly capable, or is he just doing whatever he wants with his personality?" Looking at Lin Bai's departing back, Gu Taixu smiled lightly and then turned to ask Tie Yuan.

"I can't see it either. I don't think he's that arrogant of a person. However, since he made this sort of bet, I'm truly a bit uncertain about it." "However, the spirit stones are hidden in the ore, and no one is able to find out what is inside. Even if he is truly proficient in the Spirit Viewing Technique, according to the records, even those who are proficient in the Spirit Viewing Technique will not be able to accomplish it with a 90% certainty. I really can't figure out where he got his confidence from."

"Let's continue watching and see if he is reckless or if he has a plan in mind!" Gu Taixu smiled noncommittally.

Looking at the pile of ores in front of him, Lin Bai was extremely happy. He truly hadn't thought that Jiang Ling would be so easily caught. With just a few words from him, Jiang Chen had become infuriated and directly agreed to the bet. It seemed like his expectations were not wrong at all. A young master like Jiang Ling was truly the best fat sheep to fall into his trap.

"Master, do you have confidence in winning? Didn't Elder Tie say just now that no matter who these ores were, they would not be able to see through the contents? " Seeing Lin Bai's complacent expression, Leng Yanyan could not help but feel worried in her heart. Although she could tell that Lin Bai had intentionally set up a trap for Jiang Ling to drill into, she really couldn't understand where Lin Bai's confidence came from.

Lin Bai chuckled and looked at Leng Yanyan mischievously, asking, "Do you think I will win or lose?"

"I definitely hope that you, Master, will win!" These were the words in her heart. Now that Lin Bai was her Master, she naturally hoped for Master to win, so that she could gain some glory for herself.

"Then that's enough. Just watch." Lin Bai smiled faintly and stretched his back before carelessly touching a piece of the ore on the ground. After which, he pointed to one piece and smiled, "This piece of stone looks a little pleasing to the eye. Pick it up, let's go and compete."

It was decided just like that?! Seeing how Lin Bai casually chose the ore to participate in the bet, Leng Wuyan's heart skipped a beat. He picked up the ore and saw that it was as black as black sand and as rough as sand. It was obviously the black sand ore that had a very low probability of producing Spirit Stones that Tie Yuan had mentioned.

Just when Lin Bai had chosen the ore, Jiang Ling also chose the ore. However, what was different from Lin Bai was that the spirit stone that Jiang Ling had picked up was a piece of grey card skin. It was a mix of black and gray, and its texture was exquisite.

"Pauper is pauper, yet you still want to learn from us to bet stones. You truly overestimate yourself!" Jiang Ling looked at Wu Sha Fangyuan stone that was being held by Leng Zhan. He immediately sneered and felt that he had won the match with certainty. He couldn't help but mock him: "It's just your Wu Sha Pi. If there are spirit stones cut out, I will swallow them all into my stomach!"

"Don't say it too early. Don't think that you can cut something out just by taking a rock with a larger head!" Lin Bai replied snappily. He shot a glance at the ore that Jiang Ling was holding, but upon seeing it, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The ore in Jiang Ling's hand right now, although its skin color was excellent, was the Gray Card Skin that had a high probability of being able to produce Spirit Stones. However, Lin Bai had touched this ore before. Although this ore's outer skin performance was good, there wasn't even a shadow of a ghost inside. When Lin Bai touched this ore, these Forbidden Snakes didn't even want to blink.

If this thing could cut something out, it would be the biggest joke in the world!

"Are you dumbfounded!?" "Let me tell you, the ore in my hands must have spirit stones, and it must be a mid-grade spirit stone!" Seeing that Lin Bai was laughing nonstop, Jiang Ling thought that Lin Bai was holding onto the gray kapi ore while he was holding onto the Wushi stone, so he attacked Lin Bai's heart furiously and lost his mind. He could not help but smile complacently.

He took the ore from Leng Zhan and passed it to Tie Yuan. Then, he smiled and said, "Elder Tie, may I trouble you to cut open this ore for me and see if there are any spirit stones inside."

"This is the ore you chose?" Seeing the ore that Lin Bai handed over, Tie Yuan couldn't help but frown. He then frowned and said, "Don't you remember, didn't I just say that the possibility of spirit stones in this Wushi skin is extremely low?"

Previously, when he heard Lin Bai speak of the Heavenly Dao's good fortune, Tie Yuan had a rather good impression of Lin Bai. Although he felt that it wasn't wise for Lin Bai and Jiang Ling to hold back, he still held onto a strand of hope. Moreover, he originally thought that Lin Bai would choose the few ores that had a high probability of being filled with spirit stones that he had pointed out to him.

"I felt that my luck was not bad, so I chose this piece to test my luck. If it really isn't good, then I'll go and take the other one." However, he could hear a trace of warmth in his heart. He could tell that this Old Iron wanted to defeat Jiang Ling by himself. Regardless of what other intentions he had, this kind of heart was already extremely valuable.

"Ridiculous …" When Tie Yuan heard this, he could not help but shake his head with a bitter smile. He said to Lin Bai, "You should go change it. In my opinion, the possibility of spirit stones in this ore is very small. Even if they do, I'm afraid the quality won't be too high."

"No need, just this one." Lin Bai chuckled and urged, "You don't have to say anymore, hurry up and cut it."

Upon hearing Lin Bai's words, the crowd present shook their heads repeatedly. How could they not tell that this Tie Yuan wanted to favor Lin Bai? However, even Lin Bai was unable to see through such obvious good intentions of his. It was unwise of him to insist on taking advantage of this extremely unlikely Wu Sharpei.

Many people had already predicted that Lin Bai would definitely hand over the flying sword to Jiang Ling in a moment.

Tie Yuan frowned when he heard this. He stared at Lin Bai and said, "Are you sure you've already thought about it? This is it?"

"Elder Iron, if he wants you to cut it, hurry up and cut it for him. This is a gambling house and you're also a witness. You can't practice favoritism and commit irregularities." Hearing Tie Yuan's words, Jiang Ling's pride grew even stronger. Moreover, he could see that Tie Yuan was clearly leaning towards Lin Bai. He was afraid that Tie Yuan would say something unexpected, so he urged him urgently.

Seeing this, Gu Taixu smiled and looked at Tie Yuan, saying, "Old Tie, since Fellow Taoist Mu has thought it through, please cut it."

"Let's do it!" "I believe in my Divine Vision, this ore definitely has excellent spirit stones, and can definitely surpass the one in his hands!" Lin Bai also laughed and boasted nonstop. His boasting was deafening, as if he had complete confidence in himself.

When the people in the arena heard this, they could not help but laugh. The gazes towards Lin Bai were filled with a teasing smile. They felt as if they had already seen the final result, where Wu Sha had splattered all over the ground and lacked even the slightest bit of Spiritual Qi.

"Since you've made your choice, I won't say anything. However, next time you should think about what I've told you before. Seeing that Lin Bai had already made up his mind and the crowd was urging him, Tie Yuan knew that this situation was unstoppable. He bitterly smiled as he shook his head and took the ore from Lin Bai's hands, but still tried his best to persuade him.

Lin Bai nodded with a smile. He stood to the side, unperturbed, waiting for the metal elemental energy to cut open the ore.

Tie Yuan didn't say anything else. He frowned as he looked at the Wushi Skin Stone. Then, he took something from the side that looked like a saw and put it under the sawtooth. He heard an extremely unpleasant 'hiss' sound. "Hiss …" After the sound, countless stone powder fell down. A moment later, the ore in the middle was directly split into two halves.

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately rushed forward. However, after glancing at the stone that was split into two halves, they all sighed. There was no need to think or ask, as expected, the stone was completely empty without a single strand of spiritual energy.

Looking at this scene, Lin Bai's expression did not contain even the slightest bit of embarrassment or anger. He only smiled and said, "Elder Tie, I'll have to trouble you to raise your hand and help me cut these two petals. You might have hidden your spirit stones somewhere else."

Seeing Lin Bai so worried, even though Tie Yuan could only bitterly smile, his heart actually held Lin Bai in high regard. The Cleaving Stone did not just rely on luck, it also depended on a person's attitude. If one could not open it with spirit stones, then they would wail and howl. This meant that this person's temperament was not good, and it was only reasonable for Lin Bai to remain calm.

However, despite his attitude, Tie Yuan knew that with the experience he had gained from his ancestors, this piece of ore wouldn't be able to create a spirit stone out of thin air just because of Lin Bai's attitude!
