Purple Mist Dao Master

Chapter 732 - 446 "Treasure Rock": Original God Activation!_2

There are too many intricacies to the Gold Talisman Stone.Even if someone dedicates their lifetime to studying ’Gold Talisman Stone’ and ’Gold Talisman Raw Stone,’ they might have more experience than the average person, and they might avoid some obvious pitfalls, but they can’t make huge profits every time. At best, they can generally ensure that they don’t incur too much loss.

By minimizing losses and maximizing gains, over time, they will become very wealthy.

But such people are extremely rare.

Most people rush in with enthusiasm and come out with nothing, losing everything, their family breaking apart.

"Gold Talisman Stone!" Yan Chuan entered a Gold Talisman Stone shop, squatting in front of a pile of Gold Talisman Raw Stones, and transmitted a message to ’North Mansion’ asking Lu Yuru, "Can Lu Fairy see the quality of the Gold Talisman Stone inside the Gold Talisman Raw Stone?"

If "Wisdom Eye" can observe raw stones, then—

"Can’t see." Lu Yuru shook her head before Yan Chuan’s imagination could unfold.

She was in the stone room and also heard Bai Yang introduce the ’Gold Talisman Stone’ and ’Gold Talisman Raw Stone’ to Yan Chuan, but when she opened the "Wisdom Eye," she couldn’t see any treasure light.

But this was normal.

Lu Yuru’s "Wisdom Eye" was originally only able to observe Surprise Weapons and Exotic Treasures and was never effective on ores, medicinal materials, and such wonders.

No matter how special Gold Talisman Stones and Gold Talisman Raw Stones are, they are ultimately ores and mineral materials.

"What a pity." Yan Chuan shook his head, but he didn’t have high hopes for ’Wisdom Eye Stone Gambling’ anyway, he was just asking casually.

The "Wisdom Eye" was unreliable.

He couldn’t rely on Lu Yuru.

Yan Chuan decided to do it himself.

He walked across piles of ’Gold Talisman Raw Stones,’ varying in size, thousands upon thousands.

"Gold Talisman Stones opened from raw stones weighing less than ten pounds are basically all First-Rank."

"Gold Talisman Stones opened from raw stones weighing dozens to hundreds of pounds are mostly Second-Rank."

"Gold Talisman Stones opened from raw stones weighing hundreds to thousands of pounds are mostly Third-Rank."

"Gold Talisman Stones opened from raw stones weighing thousands to tens of thousands of pounds are mostly Fourth-Rank."

"Those weighing tens of thousands of pounds are mostly Fifth-Rank."

This is a rough classification. In practice, even a Fifth-Rank raw stone weighing tens of thousands of pounds could produce a First-Rank or Second-Rank Gold Talisman Stone, or even a dead packet, resulting in a total loss. A First-Rank raw stone weighing less than ten pounds could possibly produce a top-grade Gold Talisman Stone with a ’Single Attribute,’ ’Mutant Attribute,’ or even ’Balanced Attribute.’

This is all uncertain.

Stone gambling!

Stone gambling!

The word ’gamble’ is embodied here.

Yan Chuan didn’t need to gamble; Lu Yuru’s "Wisdom Eye" couldn’t be used, but Yan Chuan still had the auxiliary function of the "Treasure Rock" to rely on—

[Miracle Item·Sun and Moon Glaze Bottle (Level 40): Can absorb Sun and Moon Essence to transform into ’Essence Fire’ and ’Jade Dew,’ where ’Sun Essence Pure Fire’ can aid in Body Refining, and ’Moonlight Jade Dew’ can strengthen the Divine Soul.]

(① Fourth-Rank Water-Fire Gold Talisman Stone)

...

"Fourth-Rank Dual Attribute Gold Talisman Stone!" Yan Chuan was delighted as he walked through most of the raw stone area.

Gold Talisman Stones are ranked by size and weight, and quality is determined by attribute.

Among them, in terms of quality—

Five Elements Mixed is the lowest.

Ascending is Four Attributes, Three Attributes, Dual Attributes, Single Attributes, Mutant Attributes, and then Five Elements Balanced, with different qualities having different values.

For example, a First-Rank Five Elements Mixed Gold Talisman Stone is valued at only about 10 pounds of Essence Stone.

But a First-Rank Five Elements Balanced Gold Talisman Stone is valued at 300 to 400 pounds of Essence Stone, a difference of three to forty times.

As for Fourth-Rank Gold Talisman Stone—

"Even the lowest Five Elements Mixed can be sold for at least 1 Primordial Pill, and the value of Dual Attributes is at least 5 Primordial Pills." Yan Chuan kept a calm expression as he looked at the Fourth-Rank Gold Talisman Raw Stone with its clearly marked price—

"1600 pounds of Essence Stone."

Yan Chuan instantly smiled.

...

"This piece—"

"Cut it open!"

Yan Chuan boldly spent 1600 pounds of Essence Stone to decisively acquire this Fourth-Rank raw stone.

Bai Yang was hesitant and anxious on the side, but ultimately dared not speak up or advise. He personally didn’t recommend someone like Yan Chuan, clearly visiting Gold Talisman City and engaging in stone gambling for the first time, to start with something so major. However, Yan Chuan was a Divine General, and Bai Yang was merely a guide, the gap between them was too large. Even though he genuinely wanted to help Yan Chuan, he dared not interfere in this ’stone gambling,’ an environment where ’six relatives don’t recognize each other.’

To speak up and advise?

If the person recognizes your good intentions, it’s a good thing.

But if they are stubborn and, in the end, regardless of whether they win or lose at stone gambling, it won’t benefit him.

Bai Yang had been in the guiding business for several years and was well aware of the nature of these gambling dogs and big figures.

Therefore, he remained cautious and didn’t say a word.

Meanwhile, as Yan Chuan boldly spent a fortune, a Fourth-Rank raw stone was publicly opened, attracting a crowd of gambling dogs like flies to honey—

"Open, open, open!"

"How many Fourth-Rank raw stones has ’Wanshan Trading Company’ opened today?"

"The seventh one! The first six were dead packets with one only managing to produce a Third-Rank Four Attributes, that raw stone was priced at 2400 pounds of Essence Stone, but the Third-Rank Four Attributes Gold Talisman Stone it yielded sold for only 2055 pounds of Essence Stone, still a loss!"

"Indeed! Five huge losses, one small loss! Clearly not suitable to open Fourth-Rank raw stones today, this one is stubborn!"

"Stubble beard, broad build, what origins?"

...

The crowd swarmed in, each voicing their comments.

The Stone Cutting Master routinely confirmed with Yan Chuan one final time: "Are you sure you’ve placed your bet? Confirm to cut the stone?"

"Open it!"

Yan Chuan nodded.

Only then did the Stone Cutting Master take out a small hammer and iron chisel, tapping onto points on the raw stone with a series of clangs, which Yan Chuan observed closely, somewhat surprised.

The Stone Cutting Master’s small hammer and iron chisel were clearly no ordinary surprise weapons, able to make marks on the ’Gold Talisman Raw Stone.’ At the same time, the method of hammer tapping and the circulation of inner strength seemed to have a unique method, specially created for this field of work.

"Crafting special surprise weapons specifically for cutting ’Gold Talisman Raw Stone’ and creating martial arts techniques?" Yan Chuan was amazed, which also showed Gold Talisman City’s fervent pursuit and passion for ’stone gambling.’

Having earlier emerged from the Blood Shadow Temple, Yan Chuan extinguished the thought of going to the Lishan Sect, instead considering staying and settling in Gold Talisman City, and after this, Yan Chuan pondered over if he truly resided in Gold Talisman City, under what identity should he earn money, and which industry should he engage in!

Thinking back and forth.

A myriad of thoughts.

Until now—

"I have ’Mutual Teaching and Learning,’ and I can fully cultivate ’Stone Cutting Skill’ to the divine realm, with unmatched stone-cutting techniques."

"I have ’Treasure Rock’ and can sense the presence of genuine Gold Talisman Stone within the ’Gold Talisman Raw Stone.’

With such capabilities at his disposal, ’stone gambling,’ ’stone cutting,’ the ’Gold Talisman Stone’ field was truly most suitable for Yan Chuan.

Not to mention anything else.

Being able to sense ’Fourth-Rank· Water and Fire Dual Attribute Gold Talisman Stone’ alone would allow Yan Chuan to make incredible profits, earning a fortune every three years from a single opening, overflowing with wealth!

With "Treasure Rock," he became the god of ’stone gambling,’ the god of discerning ’raw stones’—

In short—

"Original God?"

Yan Chuan felt joyful, pondering how to develop and operate in Gold Talisman City and how to improve and advance his cultivation to the Innate Realm more quickly and steadily.

As for ’stone cutting,’ it turned out that a group of onlookers was more focused on it than he, the very person involved.

While Yan Chuan was contemplating, suddenly—

"It’s out!"

"Gold is out!"

"Darn it! To wait until halfway through the opening to see gold, messing with people’s mindset like this!"

"Finally out! If no gold came out, not only today but for the next few days, I doubt anyone would come to Wanshan Trading Company to open Fourth-Rank raw stones, who would want to be a sure fool?"

...

With a flash of golden light unveiled from the Fourth-Rank raw stone by the Stone Cutting Master, the crowd erupted into a cheer, sparking a small climax.

The Stone Cutting Master wiped the sweat from his forehead, revealing a slight smile on his usually stern face, achieving a certain sense of accomplishment from successfully unveiling gold.
