Chapter 76: Demon Refining Bottle Spiritual Pill

Luo Wentao's face lit up with a hint of triumph. "Chu Chu, don't you trust my appraisal skills? I definitely won't let you lose money."

Qin Chuchu hesitated, feeling that the stone indeed had value to be bid on. Just as she was about to make a decision, someone suddenly called out, "This stone cannot be bought."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. It was Ye Bufan, of course. He walked up to Qin Chuchu and said, "Chu Chu, this stone cannot be bought. If you buy it, you'll lose money.

Don't let the green window fool you; there's nothing inside. When it's cut open, it probably won't even sell for 3 million chinese yuan."

The moment Luo Wentao saw Ye Bufan, his face instantly darkened. This guy was like a persistent ghost, constantly opposing him everywhere.

He said with a gloomy expression, "You, surnamed Ye, do you have a lot of experience in stone gambling?"

Ye Bufan shook his head. "Experience? Not really. This is my first time encountering stone gambling."

"That's truly ridiculous! You don't know anything, yet you dare to come here and point fingers. On what basis do you say this stone won't yield a profit? On what basis do you say it will only be worth 3 million when cut?"

"Just on my intuition," Ye Bufan told Qin Chuchu. "Trust me, I won't be wrong. This stone is completely a facade; there's no real substance inside."

"This…"

Qin Chuchu hesitated again. On one hand, she believed Luo Wentao was more professional in stone gambling, but on the other hand, she had an inexplicable trust in Ye Bufan, feeling that whatever he said couldn't be wrong.

"Are you never going to stop?" Luo Wentao said angrily. "Our Luo family deals in raw stones, and my teacher is Chen Bainian, one of Myanmar's top ten Great Masters of appraisal. Am I really inferior to you?"

Ye Bufan said calmly, "Yes, you are inferior to me."

Luo Wentao suddenly suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Do you dare to gamble with me?"

Ye Bufan was slightly startled. This guy had lost over 300 million to him, and he still wanted to gamble again?

He asked, "What do you want to gamble?"

Luo Wentao said, "Since you trust your intuition so much, let's compete in stone gambling. If I win, you'll give me the transfer contract for the Shìwài Táoyuán (Secluded Paradise) Community and that small bottle."

The reason he proposed the gamble was not without cause. Xuanji Great Master had asked him to do three things, and he had messed up all three. Although he believed Ye Bufan was doomed, he probably wouldn't escape the Great Master's blame then.

If he could get these two things in advance (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page).

things in hand, he would look a bit better.

Ye Bufan asked, "What if you lose?"

"I'll put up 100 million chinese yuan as a stake. If I lose, that money is yours."

"Luo Da Shao, your calculations are too shrewd. A single property transfer contract is worth 150 million chinese yuan. Your stake is simply not equal."

At this point, Ye Bufan raised his hand and pointed at the stone under the staff's butt, saying, "How about this: if you lose, in addition to the 100 million chinese yuan stake, you add that stone."

Although he didn't know why Ye Bufan had taken a liking to that stone, Luo Wentao readily agreed, saying, "Alright."

He was full of confidence in this gamble. The other party was just a young man who had never been involved in stone gambling, while he was Master Chen's disciple. How could he possibly lose?

After all, stone gambling relies on eyesight, not on luck like rolling dice.

Feeling Da Shao's smugness, a cold sneer appeared at the corner of Ye Bufan's mouth. Under his Divine Sense, every raw stone was clearly visible. This kind of gamble couldn't be called a gamble at all; it was simply a one-sided bullying.

Luo Wentao didn't know any of this and said excitedly, "We'll each choose five stones, best of five. Whoever wins three rounds wins."

Ye Bufan said, "Is it really necessary to make it so complicated? Wouldn't it be better to decide the winner with one stone?"

"No, that won't do. One stone involves an element of luck. Our stone gambling relies on skill."

Ye Bufan smiled slightly. It seemed this guy was indeed a bit afraid of his luck. He said, "Alright, however you want to gamble, I don't care."

"Then let's start now." Luo Wentao raised his hand and pointed at a raw stone nearby, saying, "For the first round, I'll use this stone. You go ahead and choose yours."

This stone was not far away. Before the raw stone exhibition began, he had been very optimistic about this stone, constantly hesitating over which stone to use as the 'King Stone'.

Later, his teacher, Chen Bainian, gave the final advice, and they chose the current 'King Stone'.

To win against Ye Bufan, he directly used this backup 'King Stone'.

Ye Bufan looked at the stone. It was about two meters high, looked very large, and was entirely dark green, covered with python patterns and pine flower patterns. It certainly looked good.

He used his Divine Sense to see through it. There was indeed a large piece of ice-grade jade inside. If it were cut out, it would probably sell for at least ten (This chapter is not finished, please turn the page).

million.

"This stone is certainly big enough, but unfortunately, it's also just for show."

As he spoke, he walked over and patted the stone, looking very regretful.

The moment his palm landed on the stone, an invisible Spiritual Qi was absorbed into the Demon Refining Bottle in his pocket.

This was a function he had discovered after studying the Demon Refining Bottle. This Divine Artifact could not only absorb the Yin and evil Qi from heaven and earth, but also Spiritual Qi.

However, people focused more on its ability to subdue demons, which is why it was named the Demon Refining Bottle.

In that instant, he had drained the Spiritual Qi from the raw stone, simultaneously forming a crystal-clear Spiritual Qi Pill inside the Demon Refining Bottle.

After doing all this, he once again scanned it with his Divine Sense. Not only was there no jade inside the raw stone, but it had completely turned into a plain stone.

Luo Wentao said with a cold face, "We'll know if it's just for show in a moment. Hurry up and choose your stone."

"I rely on luck for everything I do, so there's no need to pick it so meticulously." Ye Bufan raised his hand and pointed at a stone not far away, saying, "I'll take that one. This stone doesn't look like much, so can it be a bit cheaper?"

Everyone followed his finger. It was a black stone, about 30 centimeters high and weighing forty to fifty catties.

As he said, this stone looked smooth, with no pine flower patterns, no rust, and no python patterns. If it weren't placed here, it wouldn't be much different from an ordinary stone.

"My goodness, is this guy crazy? People choose raw stones with good appearances, but he actually picks cheap ones…"

"With such a broken stone, you don't even need to cut it to know he's already lost…"

Ye Bufan seemed to pay no attention to what others were saying and asked again, "Luo Da Shao, how much is this stone?"

A cold sneer appeared at the corner of Luo Wentao's mouth. "Forget it, it's just a broken stone; I'll give it to you."

No one had any hopes for this stone. Every raw stone exhibition would bring some stones to fill up the numbers, and this stone happened to be one of those.

Ye Bufan said, "No, I'd rather pay for it. Otherwise, what if something good comes out later and you get jealous?"

"You think that broken thing of yours can yield jade?" Luo Wentao said with a look of disdain, turning his head to the staff nearby and saying, "Since Mr. Ye wants to pay, go ahead and calculate it for him."
