Are fairies like you worthy of bringing evil to me?

Chapter 13: Kakegurui

"Brother Lin Zhan, long time no see."

"Brother Xiao Yuan, are you doing well these days?"

In the VIP room on the second floor of the gambling stone hall, Lin Zhan, the head of the Lin family, brought Lin Ye to meet the owner of Lingmeng Hall.

This Xiao Yuan is the shopkeeper of Lingmeng Hall. He looks to be the same age as Lin Zhan. When they were young, they were classmates from the same academy, so they have a good relationship.

Lin Ye suddenly awakened the Supreme Demonic Scripture three months ago. While his strength improved by leaps and bounds, he also specialized in other fields and became an appraiser.

In this world, there are many secondary professions related to cultivation, just like alchemists and talisman makers. Appraiser is one of them. Improving identification ability by honing eyesight is also a way of practicing to comprehend the great Dao. Even a tenth-grade appraiser can see through the truth at a glance and kill others with his eyesight.

A month ago, Lin Ye came to Lingmeng Hall to learn the art of appraisal under the introduction of Lin Zhan. Now he is a first-class appraiser who can easily tell whether some small pieces of Chaos Spirit Stones are valuable.

Being able to become a first-class appraiser in just one month is already a genius-like talent. Shopkeeper Xiao Yuan is very happy to see such a genius, because only when there are more appraisers, can their Lingmengtang make more profits.

In fact, the gambling on stones here is also full of various shady dealings. They use gambling on stones as a gimmick to attract customers, but in fact they are selling the Chaos Spirit Stones that have been confirmed to be waste at a high price in disguise to gain more profits. Of course, they will also mix some valuable Chaos Spirit Stones into a large amount of waste to prevent the shady dealings from being discovered. When necessary, they will even ask for help to open high-value spirit stones to stimulate customers' gambling desires.

This is the reason why they say nine out of ten people lose in gambling.

"My dear nephew Lin Ye, how is your practice of identification techniques going recently?"

Shopkeeper Xiao Yuan has a very good attitude towards the Lin family. He doesn't care about the competition among the five major families. He just wants to run Lingmeng Hall well.

Lingmengtang was in urgent need of high-level appraisers. Their current highest-level appraiser was only of the fourth rank, and could barely roughly appraise the value of all Chaos Spiritual Stones. Lin Ye was so talented that he was expected to become a high-level appraiser, which would greatly increase Lingmengtang's profits.

"Thanks to Uncle Xiao Yuan's good teaching, Lin Ye has already touched the barrier of a second-grade appraiser and is expected to break through to the second grade!"

It's only been a month and he's expected to break through to the second-grade appraiser?! Shopkeeper Xiao Yuan was stunned, but his eyes were full of admiration. Even if Lin Ye's talent for cultivation was wasted, being an appraiser was enough to make the Lin family prosperous.

"Someone is going to open the stone?"

"Let's go and take a look. If we can find some good spiritual stones, it will also broaden our horizons."

There are actually very few people here who are willing to cut stones on the spot. Many people who come here to gamble on stones are willing to take them home and study them slowly, and then cut them when they are sure.

After all, opening a stone is a technical job. If the spiritual stone inside is cut in half, then even the most valuable spiritual stone will plummet in value, so basically people who gamble on stones will choose to open it themselves.

"It's really rare to see someone breaking stones on the spot. Although it's only a Chaos Spirit Stone worth ten taels of silver, it's also a great learning opportunity. Is my nephew Lin Ye interested in going to watch?"

Being able to observe the stone cutting on site and confirm whether his guess is correct is also an excellent practical opportunity for appraisers.

"Of course!"

Lin Ye was full of confidence. He came here this time to show his worth in front of Shopkeeper Xiao Yuan, and it would be best if he could be hired by Lingmeng Hall. Lin Ye was defeated in the competition among the five major families, and he urgently needed a chance to show himself and tell himself that he, Lin Ye, was not a waste, and today was his chance to show himself.

However, when Lin Ye saw the appearance of the person who opened the stone, his heart tightened instantly and his pupils shrank!

Su Yutong! Why is it her? Why is this girl haunting me like a ghost?

As soon as Lin Ye saw Xian Yao, he recalled the scene in which he was killed instantly by Xian Yao in the competition. That was the most humiliating memory since he lost all his talents. Now when he saw Xian Yao's figure, he couldn't help but clench his fists, wishing he could beat her to death with one punch.

I am not a loser, I am capable. If I hadn't been careless that time, killing you, Su Yutong, would have been an easy task!

But now everyone thinks that Lin Ye is not as good as Su Yutong and is a big waste. This makes Lin Ye's heart full of grief and anger, and he hates Xian Yao even more.

"Oh? She's the daughter of the Su family. I've heard that she's uneducated and a willful young lady. I didn't expect that she's also interested in gambling on stones."

Shopkeeper Xiao Yuan said meaningfully that a customer who was rich but had no vision was the easiest lamb to slaughter, and perhaps he could make a lot of profit from her.

After hearing what Shopkeeper Xiao Yuan said, Lin Ye's eyes lit up. Yes, maybe I can take this opportunity to regain my lost face!

"Nephew Lin Ye, what do you think of the Chaos Spirit Stone she chose?"

"It's worthless, trash that even dogs won't pay attention to."

Lin Ye sneered, thinking that Su Yutong didn't know how to identify stones at all. What was the difference between coming here to gamble on stones and giving away money?

Shopkeeper Xiao Yuan also laughed and said, "Indeed, she is worse than even a dog. Dogs are spiritual and can tell whether these tiny Chaos Spiritual Stones are valuable by their sense of smell, but she can't tell. But I do hope she can come up with something good."

Lin Ye couldn't help but wonder: "Why?"

"Because only if she gets a taste of the sweetness will she be interested. As long as she is interested in gambling on stones, it will be easy for us at Reimu Hall to make her lose everything."

Lin Ye's heart was pounding. It would be such a wonderful thing to make the Su family bankrupt. He longed to see such a scene. Su Yutong showed a look of despair and regret. Lin Ye felt his bones numb just thinking about it.

"But unfortunately, she chose a piece of junk. If she is willing to try again, I will immediately arrange for someone to help her win the bet and let her fall into the bottomless abyss."

The scene turned to Xian Yao. At this moment, not only Xiao Yuan and Lin Ye, but also some of the onlookers were not optimistic about the Chaos Spirit Stone that Xian Yao had chosen. They just watched the fun.

"Haha, this material is so useless. I can tell at first glance that it's not good enough. It will definitely not work."

"Well, this little girl looks like a novice. Maybe she is just gambling for fun."

"That's right. Anyway, I definitely can't pick out this piece of shit. Spiritual stones are so noble. It must be among the most beautiful Chaos Spiritual Stones. It's a talent to be able to pick this one out and cut it."

Ling'er felt a little embarrassed by the sneers from others, but Xianyao didn't take it seriously at all.

The stone cutter looked at the stone and shook his head, and asked, "Miss, how do you want to cut the stone, or do you want us to do it all?"

"I'll do it."

Xian Yao took the stone-chopping knife, which is also a spiritual weapon, and chopped it directly at the Chaos Spirit Stone. The rough cut made people twitch their mouths. This was too amateurish!

Although this Chaos Spirit Stone is waste, if it can be shipped, you will have to cut the spirit stone into waste with this knife.

"Wait... look what that is!"

Just when everyone was sighing at how ignorant Xianyao was, someone suddenly pointed at the material Xianyao had cut and exclaimed, "It's shining! It's blue-green! It's a mid-grade spirit stone!"

PS: Please give me monthly tickets and rewards~Do you have any fresh monthly tickets to give me?

Chapter 14 What is the God of Gamblers?

Chapter 14 What is the God of Gamblers?

Blue! It's a mid-grade spirit stone! A mid-grade spirit stone actually appeared in a Chaos Spirit Stone that everyone regarded as waste!

Everyone was dumbfounded at the scene, including the shopkeeper Xiao Yuan and Lin Ye who were secretly observing through the window in the VIP Pavilion, their eyes widened.

"This...this is impossible!"

It is unprecedented that such dirty waste like dog shit can produce a mid-grade spirit stone.

"Luck, this is really good luck. It seems that the Su family's momentum has not only not weakened, but can also be passed on to their descendants."

Lin Zhan's eyes became sharp, and what he saw was not just as simple as the surface.

"Middle-grade Spirit Stone! It's actually a middle-grade Spirit Stone!"

"This, this is incredible."

"my God."

The whole place was boiling with excitement. Just when everyone thought Xianyao was going to lose money, she gave everyone the biggest surprise by using the most unlikely waste material to produce the most expensive spirit stone.

Xian Yao took out a medium-grade spirit stone from the Chaos Spirit Stones and handed it to the stone cutter: "A medium-grade spirit stone is worth 10,000 taels of silver, right? Just exchange it for silver for me."

Ling'er was so excited that she almost jumped up after earning ten thousand taels of silver from ten taels of silver. She looked at Xianyao with eyes full of admiration.

This, this is too strong!

"This is really unexpected. It seems that the level of our Reimu Hall appraisers needs to be improved. A little girl actually got away with it."

Shopkeeper Xiao Yuan was not in a hurry. He originally wanted to give Xian Yao some sweet benefits, but he did not expect the accident to come so suddenly.

However, Lin Ye was very unhappy. Although his goal was achieved, this was not what he wanted. What he wanted was the feeling of giving alms to Xianyao, rather than Xianyao earning it herself.

"Come here, tell the people below to follow my instructions from now on."

Shopkeeper Xiao Yuan called his servants and gave them instructions. Since Xianyao had earned 10,000 taels of silver from them, how could she leave without paying them back tenfold?

"Where can I buy Chaos Spirit Stones for 10,000 taels each?"

However, Xian Yao took the initiative and wanted to directly swing his sword towards the Chaos Spirit Stone worth ten thousand taels of silver after getting the money. This was too arrogant.

My goodness, Reimengtang hasn't even given any advice yet, and Xianyao is already getting carried away.

"Miss, I think we should quit while we are ahead."

"It doesn't matter. It's free money anyway. If you lose, it's mine. If you win, it's yours."

Xianyao insisted on continuing to gamble, and the salesmen also received instructions from the shopkeeper: ban Xianyao completely and make her lose all her money with interest!

Upon receiving the news, some salesmen quietly activated the mechanism to hide the high-value Chaos Spirit Stones, leaving only the waste.

"Oh? You're cheating already. You're too impatient."

Xian Yao smiled secretly in her heart. If it were her, she would definitely let the other party win a few more times before she started to manipulate the situation. Reimengtang was still a little too hasty in acting.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as the goal is achieved.

Xianyao was brought to the Chaos Spirit Stone sales area where one stone cost 10,000 taels. Because of Xianyao's performance just now, many Taoist friends gathered around to see if Xianyao could create another miracle.

Of course, most people think that Xianyao is bound to lose. Winning this time would be the beginning of a gambler’s life tragedy. After tasting the sweetness, Xianyao will definitely lose everything. After all, it is impossible for her to be so lucky every time.

"Speaking of which, you have a rule in Reimu Hall, right? If you dig up a Chaos Spirit Stone worth more than 10,000 taels of silver, you will buy it back at twice the price. If you dig up a Chaos Spirit Stone worth more than 1,000,000 taels of silver, you will buy it back at three times the price?"

"Yes, that's our rule."

This is a trick used by Reimu-do to stimulate gamblers to gamble on stones. They say they will buy them back at high prices, but how many people can actually make money from them?

"Then this one, I want to open this one."

Xian Yao selected another Chaos Spirit Stone with a weird appearance. This Chaos Spirit Stone was of extremely poor quality and it looked like a piece of waste at first glance and it was impossible to ship it.

"This girl doesn't think that anyone who is ugly can be sold."

"Haha, if you win the bet once, you will definitely play it this way."

"She's probably really going to lose money this time."

Shopkeeper Xiao Yuan and Lin Ye also received news from their subordinates: Xian Yao chose an ugly piece of scrap material, which is absolutely impossible to ship.

"What did the appraiser say?"

"Master Zhang Yao is a third-rank appraiser. He just guaranteed that this piece of scrap material would never be shipped, otherwise he would leave Lingmeng Hall."

"Okay, let her drive. This will be the moment she falls into the abyss of gambling."

Shopkeeper Xiao Yuan sneered, and Lin Ye was even more excited. He couldn't wait to see Xian Yao's desperate eyes.

"You don't have to come and break the stone. I prefer to do it myself."

When Xianyao saw the stone-cutting master preparing to help her cut the stone, she immediately tried to stop him. If these stone-cutting veterans found out that Xianyao could cut out high-value spirit stones, they might cut the spirit stone crookedly, cutting it in half and causing the spiritual energy to leak out.

Xian Yao grabbed the knife stone and chopped it down with a single move, just like using a big knife to cut a melon, causing the flesh on the faces of the people around her to twitch.

Others cut stones very carefully and polish them, but no one is as rough as Xianyao. Even a top-grade spirit stone will be cut into pieces.

"Wait, it's blue? It's blue again!"

Someone gasped. If it was green, it meant it was another mid-grade spirit stone. Moreover, such a large piece of Chaos Spirit Stone could probably produce more than one mid-grade spirit stone. Xian Yao was going to make money again!

When Xianyao opened the two halves of the Chaos Spirit Stone, ten Chaos Spirit Stones were wrapped in rocks like diamonds, and Xianyao's knife was precise and just a little bit short of cutting these ten mid-grade spirit stones into pieces.

"Fuck, this is impossible?!"

Countless people exclaimed in amazement. Xian Yao's luck was too good. She was already extremely lucky to have opened ten middle-grade spirit stones. However, her casual knife just now did not destroy any of the spirit stones. This luck was already too good to be true to explain.

"Ten mid-grade spirit stones are worth a total of one hundred thousand taels of silver. According to your rules, you will buy them back for two hundred thousand taels of silver, right?"

Xian Yao smiled faintly, but Shopkeeper Xiao Yuan and Lin Ye's faces didn't look good.

"What's going on? Didn't they say that this Chaos Spirit Stone was waste? How come it turned out to be ten mid-grade Spirit Stones?"

"This... I don't know, Master Zhang Yao said this..."

The woman who was scolded by Shopkeeper Xiao Yuan was in a panic. She had never expected such a situation to happen.

Repurchasing the spirit stone at twice the price means that Xian Yao will earn 100,000 taels of silver for nothing. However, if they had discovered the value of this Chaos Spirit Stone earlier, perhaps they would not only not lose money, but could even earn an extra 100,000 taels of silver. This round trip is equivalent to a loss of 200,000 taels for Lingmeng Hall!

Chapter 15 Threat

Chapter 15 Threat

Two hundred thousand taels of silver was a huge sum even for the owner of Reimu Hall. After all, Reimu Hall was a chain store and had to pay a large amount of money to the headquarters every year, as well as receive dividends from the Lin family. In reality, the net profit that could be retained in the store in a year would be good at 10 million taels of silver, and the net profit per month was less than 1 million taels.

And Xian Yao ate so many of them in one breath, how could Shopkeeper Xiao Yuan not curse?

"Uncle Xiao Yuan, this is not her fault. After all, I didn't expect that this piece of waste could actually produce a spirit stone."

Lin Ye looked gentle on the surface, but in fact, he was bleeding with jealousy. Two hundred thousand taels of silver, I really want to get this much money!
