"Elder Sister Mu, wake up! Wake up!"
An anxious voice suddenly sounded in her ears. Mu Huanyun was startled and immediately woke up from her nightmare. She turned around and saw that the one beside her was Situ.
"What's the matter with you?" Situ asked in concern as he saw that she didn't look too good.
When Mu Wan touched his head, he discovered that his forehead was covered in sweat, and even his back was drenched. It was as if he had seen it in a dream and had been to the bottom of a lake.
Fortunately, it was just a dream. However, this sort of dream made her heart palpitate inexplicably.
"Elder Sister Mu, if you're not feeling well, you should rest in your room." Although Situ Bu Fang really wanted to go with Mu Yun and it was said that it was a spirit stone exhibition today, he was worried about Mu Yun's health.
Mu Wan forced a smile and sent him downstairs to get some hot water from the shop. She took a hot bath in the water and felt much better.
Mu Wan Yun combed his long hair behind his head. He had a long ponytail, which was tied with a jade ribbon, and changed into a royal blue man's outfit. On the outside, he wore a silver robe, and held an ivory fan.
Situ wore a brocade robe and was born in the royal family. He had the temperament of a noble.
The two of them hired a few servants and followed them down the road, looking very much like the second generation of rich and handsome men.
Situ whispered, "Big brother, why are we doing this, and why are we bringing a few followers? Isn't this a bit too ostentatious?"
Mu Huanyun lightly waved her folding fan, "Since today is a spirit stone exhibition, if you weren't pretending to be rich, you wouldn't even be able to enter those shops."
She understood these people's worldly wisdom very well.
Therefore, in her black market, she had often taught her subordinates not to look down on ragged clothes and to judge them as strange men in disguise. However, even though he was dressed in brocade clothes, he could still save a lot of words on a lot of occasions.
For example, now, when they appeared ostentatiously on the street, they instantly attracted the attention of many shop owners.
In addition to the servants following behind her, each of them had a brocade box in their hands. From the brocade boxes, it could be seen that the items inside were worth a lot.
Sure enough, a shop owner sent someone to invite him.
"My two young masters are noble and noble. Today is the annual spirit stone exhibition of my Hidden Dragon Town, and my shop has high quality spirit stones and high quality sources. Would you like to go in and take a look?"
Seeing that someone had made a move, the other shopkeepers were reluctant to fall behind. "Young master, why don't you take a look at my store? My store is larger, and I also have top quality Origin Stones. They are rare, and will definitely make your trip worthwhile."
"Young master, you should go to my house …"
A lot of people surrounded him, but Mu Yunyun's eyes were fixed on the Spirit Stone store that was called Hao Yuan Family.
Seeing a big customer like her throwing out an olive branch to so many spirit stones stores, only two strong men were standing outside the store. They didn't even bother to look at the passing customers.
They had high standards, so naturally, they looked down on the other unaffiliated guests.
Mu Wanyun brought Situ Po to a spirit stone shop opposite Haoyuan.
It was a small shop.
When he saw Mu Wan and the others' clothes, he thought that they would have a big customer, but when he heard that they would need a large amount of low grade spirit stones, the shopkeeper's smile suddenly froze.
However, the guests were guests, so they welcomed them warmly.
"Customer, here are the low grade spirit stones that you requested." The shopkeeper pointed to a pile of stones in front of the store. These stones were huge in number, but they looked exactly the same as the ones he had found at the bottom of the river.
Mu Wan's hand touched the stones. The stone was rough, cold, and ordinary. She asked the shopkeeper if she could borrow a Origin Cutting Blade. The blade was as thin as a cicada's wing, but it was abnormally sharp. It could even be described as cutting through iron like mud.
Origin Craftsmen usually used this kind of knife to cut off the outer skin of these stones, commonly known as stone skin. Once he removed the stone skin, he found spirit stones inside. The outside was ordinary, but the inside might be extremely unordinary. Thus, in the Origin Stone circle, there was a saying about gambling stones.
However, these stones were truly low grade spirit stones.
Mu Wan used the Origin Cutting Blade to cut off the stone skin on a rock. The stone inside was not as cold as the outside and carried a trace of warmth. Occasionally, there would be some places where a glow could be seen. These places were where the glow could be seen, and that was where the Spirit Stones were.
She took a look and saw that the spirit stones here were suitable for Situ.
"Help me peel off all these Origin Stones and pick out the spirit stones."
"Sure. It's just that, may I know how much you need?" The manager was still rather polite. Compared to her, who was today's first customer, the common saying had opened.
Mu Wenyun turned her head to look at Situ. She believed that Situ knew just how much she needed.
Sure enough, Situ looked at his abdomen. It was the deepest part of his Sea of Bitterness.
He thought for a moment, then looked at the amount of Origin Stones, and said rather embarrassedly, "Most likely, all of them."
Mu Huanyun and the shopkeeper were both shocked!
In this pile of stones, even if all the spirit stones were carefully selected, the amount would still be shocking. Mu Yun estimated that there would be around five hundred kilograms of low grade spirit stones. If he placed all of them on Situ, he could easily crush him to death.
She whispered, "Do you need that much? It was only the opening of the Sea of Bitterness. Even if you were in a hurry to advance to the next level, the amount of low grade spirit stones required to reach the fifth level was at most one hundred kilograms. Furthermore, these low grade Spirit Stones will not be able to help you in the future.
Situ was in a rare state of distress. "Fifth-grade? I can enter the Sea of Bitterness without a hitch. I don't know if this five hundred jin of spirit stones will be enough for me."
"No way!" Mu Wan stared at him, unable to speak for once, unable to make a complaint.
It would only cost 500 jin of spirit stones to enter the Sea of Bitterness. If he wanted to reach the Divine Bridge one day, wouldn't he need a pure source energy as tall as a mountain?
Suddenly, an image appeared in her mind. Back when she was watching Journey to the West, the Jade Emperor had also asked a chicken to peck a meter the height of a mountain. She even imagined Situ turning into a chicken and continuously pecking at the mountainous origin …
The shopkeeper was a little surprised. "Customer, you mean you want all the Origin Stones here?"
Mu Wan nodded his head, and let the servant behind him carry a embroidered box. He opened the box and casually took out a high quality Pure Origin Stone. This Pure Origin Stone was of excellent quality, enough to exchange for two piles of Origin Stones.
She tossed the Pure Origin Stone to the shopkeeper. "Let's go for a stroll first. You should arrange for these Origin Stones to be sorted out as soon as possible and then send them to Kunlun Academy." Five hundred kilograms of low grade spirit stones, you can't lose a single piece! "
"Esteemed guests, you are disciples of the Karakorum Academy? Rest assured, I will definitely deliver it myself. There will be no mistakes! "
Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper quickly took over the Pure Yuan stone. Upon closer inspection, this piece of source energy was really not bad and could be traded for a lot of gold. With such a good piece of Pure Yuan stone for 500 jins of low grade spirit stones, he could only earn money without losing anything! Instantly, a smile blossomed on his face.
Although giving away such a low level spirit stone was more than five hundred pounds, it was definitely not dangerous. For example, robbers would rob others. Therefore, they looked down on spirit stones of this level.
After asking for the address, he hurriedly got the craftsman to do his work. The whole street was suddenly filled with a strange scene. More than ten craftsmen were waving their hands around, sending countless pieces of stone flying everywhere.
After making sure that it was nothing, Mu Wan Yun asked the shopkeeper about the Hao Yuan family on the other side.
As soon as he found a good business, the shopkeeper started to talk more.
"This Haoyuan Aristocrat Clan has quite the background. It is said that the one behind the scenes might be someone from Da Xia Empire. However, these were just rumors. The spirit stones in the Hao Yuan Family were all top grade Origin Stones. If he wanted to take a look, he would need to pay a sufficient amount of Origin Stones first. Otherwise, don't even think about looking. "
The shopkeeper looked at the Origin Stone in his hand and immediately added, "Sir, do you wish to see the top grade Origin Stones inside?"
"Looks like it's not bad. We can go in and take a look first." Mu Wanyun was a little curious. He had to first buy a ticket before he could enter. If there really wasn't anything good, then this Hao Yuan Family's reputation would have long been torn down.
"If the guests want to go, I suggest that you, esteemed guest, pay some good sources so that you can directly enter their palace. Only the source there is truly rare, and in addition, the honored guests that enter the palace can also enter to participate in stone gambling."
"Stone gambling?" Mu Yun had also heard of the matter of rock gambling. Before this, she had discussed with Manager Jin whether or not to open this project in the black market, but after that, she gave up on finding any top-grade Origin Craftsmen.
Top quality origin was not easy to find, and top quality Origin Craftsmen were even harder to find! If there wasn't a good Origin Craftsman, he would definitely lose his underwear when gambling with a stone.
Mu Yunyun thought about it for a moment. She hadn't made any progress in her cultivation yet, so she let Situ help look over it. Situ said that her physique was special, so in order to progress further, she would need even more unique sources.
She thought that this was a chance. Even if she couldn't choose a good source, she could still broaden her horizons. She was lacking in everything, just that she wasn't short on money.
Mu Yunji swaggered towards Haoyuan with Situ Qing in tow.
When the big man at the door saw them selling low grade spirit stones just now, he had already noticed the huge commotion. Now, he was looking at them coming towards him.
One of the men said in a clear voice, "Sir guest, we do not have any low grade spirit stones."
Mu Huanyun smiled, closed his fan, and suddenly threw out a piece.
The big man seemed to be a cultivator as well. His cultivation was also wrong and his skills were not weak. He quickly caught the source and opened his palm. An source lay on his palm.
This Yuan was not small, his entire body had a dark green color, and there were traces of white gas on the outside of his body.
He blurted out in surprise, "Top-grade Emerald Origin!"
He once again looked at Mu Wan Yun with a respectful gaze.
"Customer, this source energy is priceless, please wait for a moment. This lowly one will go and invite the shopkeeper out to welcome you personally." His tone was extremely polite, giving the other person beside him a glance before swiftly bringing the source in.
A short while later, a chubby, middle-aged man came out.
He was dressed in brown, and the material was excellent. There were also embroidered safety prints on the cloth. He looked extremely wealthy.
He had a goatee and a big smile on his face.
"Esteemed guest, please forgive me for my inconvenience."
Mu Huuyun cupped her fists in return, "Manager is too polite. This humble one is Situ Yun, this is my younger brother. When I heard that precious Origin Stones were rarely seen in the hundreds of years of history of Haoyuan, I came here to broaden my horizons. "
Mu Wan Yun spoke politely.
The shopkeeper was shrewd and astute. When he heard that the shopkeeper had changed his surname to Situ, he immediately took out the top quality Origin Stones. Upon seeing the shopkeeper's luxurious clothing and unique aura, he immediately thought of the Nine Barbarians. He surmised that these two people were from the Nine Fiend Sect. However, it was said that there had never been a cultivator in the entire Nine Barbarians. Were they really here just to broaden their horizons?
