Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1325 The Ji Family - Ji Wushuang

Ye Qing pondered for a moment and asked, "What is a Star Pattern Treasure Hunter?"

Gerong pondered for a moment and said, "How do you explain it? Those who have special methods to see inside the star-patterned stone can be called star-patterned treasure hunters!"

“Then I have a question!” Chen Xuan said, “Those stones are all clearly priced. Selling them to Star Pattern Treasure Hunters is the same as selling them to other people, so why are they unwilling to let Star Pattern Treasure Hunters into their shops!”

"Because Star Pattern Treasure Hunters have a much higher probability of opening Star Pattern Stones, once a Star Pattern Treasure Hunter publicly enters a gambling den, many people believe that the remaining items are ones that the Star Pattern Treasure Hunter wouldn't want, which will cause the shop's traffic to plummet," Gerong said.

"I see!" Ye Qing said thoughtfully, "That makes it quite troublesome!"

"But don't worry, Star Pattern Treasure Hunters can freely enter our Yongle Gambling House," Gerong said. "However, there is one condition!"

"What are the requirements?" Ye Qing asked.

“If a Star Pattern Treasure Hunter cuts a stone in Yongle City and it becomes valuable, Yongle City will receive 20% of the value of that valuable stone. It doesn’t count if they lose money!” Gerong said.

Ye Qing pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, it's not such a bad deal after all!"

At this point, Ye Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Then how do we determine whether someone is a Star Pattern Treasure Hunter?"

"It all comes down to a person's chances of opening stones!" Gerong said. "If more than six out of ten stones yield something, it means that they are a Star Pattern Treasure Hunter, and they will naturally be marked by various gambling houses."

"So, the key is to earn as much as possible before your identity is exposed?" Ye Qing asked.

“That’s exactly right!” Gerong said.

Chen Xuan's expression shifted slightly as he said, "What if this Star Pattern Treasure Hunter is a magician, or someone else who can change their appearance and characteristics?"

“If that’s the case, then each gambling den can only accept their bad luck. Of course… since everyone who enters Yongle City has a steward, the portion that will be paid to Yongle City will naturally go to that steward.” Gerong said, “When I leave later, I will give you an identity token, which is your pass to Yongle City!”

"So, Yongle City will know this person's identity, right?" Ye Qing said.

“Yes, but don’t worry, unless you go to Yongle Casino, we will absolutely not reveal our identities to the public,” Gerong added.

Ye Qing nodded!

If that's the case, then he won't need to worry about this for the time being.

Moreover, even if his identity is exposed, he can still earn enough cultivation resources to use by going to Yongle Casino.

The so-called cultivation resources are actually just money.

The rare and precious materials that can be obtained from these star-patterned stones are also among the treasures needed for cultivation.

"Let's try a place a bit further away!" Ye Qing said.

This place is full of star-patterned stones. He needs a lot of star-patterned stones to hone his stone-cutting skills, especially the skill of feeling the patterns, which requires a great deal of experience.

“Okay!” Gerong nodded and led Ye Qing to the next store.

The two bypassed the previous gambling den and entered another one.

This gambling den looks quite large; it's called "Changhong Gambling Den"!

Ye Qing walked in, and he still chose to pick out the trash stones.

The reason for choosing this method is that Ye Qing discovered that although he could most likely tell whether a treasure could be cut out from a star-patterned stone.

However, he had no way of knowing whether the price of the item he cut out would rise or fall.

These trashy star-patterned stones are all priced below five million. As long as you get something from them, you can't possibly lose money. The only problem is that the probability of revealing yourself as a star-patterned treasure hunter will greatly increase!

Of course, Ye Qing didn't care; he possessed a unique characteristic.

Changhong Casino is very large and also has VIP rooms.

At this moment, in a VIP box, Yun Yi, the Holy Son of the Primordial Civilization, was sitting there with some stones in front of him!

Behind him stood a man and a woman!

Sun Jie stood there, head bowed, a hint of resentment in her expression.

Beside her was the man who had a conflict with Ye Qing.

As Yunyi watched, he asked, "Cousin, do you have any complaints about me?"

Sun Jie's expression shifted, and she quickly said, "Why do you say such things, Holy Son!"

“Ever since you returned with the history of the Great Emperor, you have never smiled when you see me,” Yunyi said calmly. “Especially after you were assigned to my side, it has become even more so!”

Sun Jie remained silent and said, "I'm naturally not one to smile!"

"Is that so?" Yunyi sighed and said, "Actually, cousin, it has its advantages that you're by my side. Although it was a bit difficult for your Sun family to produce the history of the Great Emperor, you still managed to do it!"

"Although I may not become an emperor in the future, if I reach the peak of sainthood and have enough historical projections, I will be able to rival an emperor!" Yunyi said. "If we have a good relationship, your Sun family will also be able to receive my protection in the future!"

"Thank you, Holy Son!" Sun Jie said.

"So!" Yunyi said calmly, "You still don't want to say where you got this projection of the Great Emperor's history from?"

“I have said it countless times, my history as an emperor was found by chance in the Chaotic Star Sea,” Sun Jie said. “This is absolutely true.”

“There is a seal within your soul; someone has tampered with it!” Yunyi said. “Cousin, if it weren’t for me, you would continue to suffer. Why bother?”

“I’ve said it countless times, I really did get it from the Chaotic Star Sea. As for the seal you’re talking about, I have no idea what it is,” Sun Jie said.

"Sigh!" Yunyi shook his head, then patted a rock and said, "This one will do!"

Beside him, the man said, "Holy Son, I also want to play a couple of rounds! But the stones here are too expensive, I'll go play outside!"

"Go ahead! Don't blame me if you lose money!" Yunyi said.

"How dare I!" the man quickly replied.

He excitedly walked out!

Sun Jie stood quietly to the side, her eyes lowered, her gaze filled with a numb sense of despair.

The other man walked out of the VIP room. He was dressed in clothing from the Primordial Civilization. Everyone who looked at him would bow their heads, even if the other party was a Venerable!

This is the hierarchical universe!

He glanced at these people disdainfully, then began browsing around the shop.

Suddenly, his eyes flickered slightly as he saw Ye Qing picking out things not far away, and Chen Xuan wearing a mask beside her. A disdainful smile appeared on his lips, and then he walked towards the two of them!

Ye Qing was looking down, selecting stones.

Suddenly, a sneer rang out, saying, "I thought you were some kind of Level 9 civilization expert, daring to provoke us at the spacecraft docking station, but it turns out you only know how to pick these kinds of trash stones when you come here to gamble on stones!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing raised an eyebrow and looked over!

He realized that the other person was the same man from the aircraft docking station, and his expression changed.

"Tsk tsk, even when choosing a butler, they can only choose this kind of white-level trainee butler!" the man said sarcastically.

Ye Qing kept his head down as he continued selecting stones.

He had just seen a dazzling light among those stones.

This light can only be seen by the eyes of the gods! Others cannot detect it at all.

As he was selecting items, he said, "Did you hear a dog barking?"

Chen Xuan nodded and said, "I heard it, and it was quite loud."

"What did you say!" the man suddenly shouted. "Do you know who I am?"

"I am Ji Wushuang of the Ji family from the Primordial Civilization! Yunyi, the Primordial Holy Son, is my brother!" Ji Wushuang said.

His voice was loud enough for everyone around him to hear.

"Holy crap, is this Ji Wushuang, who came in eleventh place in the last Genius Battle, second only to the nine Holy Sons of that generation?"

"It is said that he possesses the Three Life Characteristics, having the attributes of thunder, fire, and wind, making him extremely powerful in combat!"

……

The surrounding chatter began, and Ji Wushuang thoroughly enjoyed their conversation!
