Wutan was extremely surprised. A piece of Xuanhun Stone only required 10 million essences, while a wisp of Xuanhun power required 1 billion essences. The price difference was a hundred times!
However, Zhou Shu was somewhat unhappy, and frowned, saying, "I remember that in the Heavenly Domain, the value of a ray of Profound Soul Power is at least 10 billion essences. Why are you only offering 1 billion here? Do you think that we are easy to bully because this is our first time here?"
The woman in white said, "You misunderstood, sir. That's not what I meant. You also know that this is the Sea of Stars, not the Heaven Realm, so the prices cannot be generalized."
Zhou Shu pondered for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and shook his head and said, "I understand. You want to buy it at a low price and then sell it to Tianbao Pavilion in Tianyu at a high price. I have to say, you are really smart!"
The white-clothed woman's eyes flashed with surprise, and she smiled and said, "Young Master, you can actually think of this. It seems that you must not be an ordinary person."
"Haha, it's just a guess, don't take it seriously."
Zhou Shu smiled and shook his head, then he waved his hand and ten million essences continuously flowed out from the space bracelet.
After the woman in white took away the essence, Zhou Shu took out a dagger and stuffed it into Wu Tian's hand along with the Mysterious Soul Stone. He laughed and said, "Next, it depends on whether your luck can go against the heavens. But before you open the Mysterious Soul Stone, I want to ask if there is anyone here who dares to bet with me."
Zhou Shu glanced at the crowd around him with a provocative look in his eyes.
A middle-aged man in black stepped forward and asked, "How do you want to bet?"
"What's the bet?"
Wu Tian asked via voice transmission.
"You haven't been in the Heaven Realm for a few days, so you don't know a lot of things yet. I'll explain them to you slowly after this is over."
Zhou Shu responded secretly, then looked at the middle-aged man and said with a smile: "If the power of the mysterious soul is revealed, your bet will belong to me. If the power of the mysterious soul is not revealed, I will not only return your bet, but also pay it back tenfold."
As soon as these words were spoken, the second floor of the trading floor suddenly became noisy.
"It's actually ten to one!"
"The chance of getting the power of the mysterious soul is so small, but he still dares to gamble so much. Is he crazy?"
"Could it be that he already knows that this Mysterious Soul Stone contains the power of the Mysterious Soul?"
"Impossible. Anyone who knows something about the Mysterious Soul Stone knows that it can prevent divine consciousness from detecting it. Moreover, I have lived for hundreds of thousands of years and have never heard of anyone being able to see through the Mysterious Soul Stone."
"In that case, he must be a nobleman who likes to play this way and has the money to do so."
"In that case, let's play with him and make him lose all his money."
After the discussion, all the people on the second floor came forward.
The middle-aged man in black who spoke first also revealed a hint of sarcasm and said, "I'll gamble with you, but what if you don't have enough capital?"
Zhou Shu said: "You can kill or shave us, you can do whatever you want with us two."
"Okay, this is what you said, and everyone heard it. If you can't afford to pay later, don't blame us for being rude. I'll give you fifty magical herbs!" The middle-aged man took out a space bracelet and threw it on the ground.
"I bet on one billion essences!"
"I bet 500 million!"
"I bet 300 million!"
"I suppress three kinds of high-level magical powers!"
"I'll bet on two second-level divine weapons!"
"I bet one hundred Azure Dragon Stones!"
"… "
For a while, everyone placed bets, some bet on magical medicine, some bet on magical weapons. In short, as long as something existed, there would be people betting. Wutan was filled with sighs, as these people who had been wandering in the sea of stars for many years had different fortunes.
Of course, even if the net worth of all people were added together, it would still not be enough for him, but who would complain about having too many resources
There are about 500 people on the second floor. If everyone contributes one thing, the accumulated wealth will be a considerable fortune.
After dozens of breaths, more than 500 space bracelets were piled on the ground, and almost everyone participated.
Seeing this, Zhou Shu was also under great pressure. He patted Wu Tian on the shoulder and said in a low voice: "Brother, don't cheat me. If I lose, my savings will shrink by more than half."
Wu Tian couldn't help but feel contemptuous. As the son of the chief pavilion master, couldn't he have some backbone? He put the Mysterious Soul Stone on the counter, grabbed the dagger, and was about to cut it.
"etc."
However, at this moment, a shout suddenly rang out. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man in purple clothes striding towards them.
"Meet Master Ximen."
Except for Wutan and Zhou Shu, everyone else saluted with a respectful look, and stepped aside to make way.
Young Master Ximen walked to the opposite side of Wu Tian and the other man, glanced at the pile of space bracelets on the ground, a hint of amusement appeared on his face, and he said, "This young master is also interested in betting with you. Ten billion ordinary essences, one billion elemental essences, one hundred second-tribulation divine spirits, one hundred divine medicines, and ten kinds of high-level magical powers. Do you dare to take it?"
Zhou Shu raised his eyebrows and fell silent, as if he couldn't eat.
"Haha, weren't you so arrogant just now? Why are you silent now?"
"If you don't have this ability, don't start the gambling game."
"Hurry up and don't waste our time."
Seeing this, the people around couldn't help but sneer and ridicule, and those who didn't say anything had an expression of gloating on their faces.
Zhou Shu gritted his teeth, looked up at Master Ximen, and said, "I want to see your bet with my own eyes."
"Haha, it's ridiculous that you don't believe Master Ximen."
"Young man, you may not know who he is yet, so I'd better tell you honestly that he is the young master of this exchange."
Some people ridiculed.
Young Master Ximen pressed his hands slightly, and the whole place suddenly quieted down. He smiled and said, "Gambling should be fair. Even though I am the young master of this exchange, I still have to abide by the rules. Someone, go get my bet and let this brother take a look."
"yes!"
A staff member immediately ran to the back hall, and came out again after a while. After coming to Zhou Shu, he handed over a space bracelet and said indifferently: "Take it and count it."
Zhou Shu looked at it carefully, his eyes flashed, but he hesitated.
Master Ximen frowned and said, "Why? Can't you eat it? Of course, if you really can't eat it, you don't have to accept it. After all, ten times is not a joke."
"Who said I can't eat? I'll make a bet with you today!"
Zhou Shu was furious. He threw the space bracelet on the ground and said to Wu Tian: "Brother, cut it off!"
Wu Tian asked: "Are you sure?"
Zhou Shu nodded and said, "If we lose, the worst that can happen is that we will go bankrupt, but if we win, then we will make a lot of money this time."
The middle-aged man in black joked, "A one in a hundred thousand chance is not that easy to earn."
"The Mysterious Soul Stone hasn't been opened yet, so it's hard to say whether we'll win or lose." Zhou Shu said in a deep voice, and then looked at Wu Tian: "Brother, let's see!"
Wutan tightened the dagger in his hand and placed it on the Xuanhun Stone.
At this moment, Zhou Shu stared at the Xuanhun Stone intently, and beads of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
On the other hand, Mr. Ximen and others folded their arms, waited leisurely, and waited for compensation.
Because no one would believe that there was the power of the Mysterious Soul in this Mysterious Soul Stone. The probability of one in a hundred thousand was impossible for the two of them to encounter it.
“Crack!”
Wutan exerted force with his arm, and the dagger cut through iron like mud, directly splitting the Xuanhun Stone into two.
Everyone looked at the two Mysterious Soul Stones and their expressions changed color on the spot!
"Haha, sorry, I win."
However, Zhou Shu laughed with his head raised, and with a wave of his hand, the space bracelets on the ground disappeared one after another and were collected by him.
Wutan was also extremely surprised. He stared at half of the Xuanhun Stone and saw an extremely small groove in the center of this half of the Xuanhun Stone. However, because the groove was pure white and the Xuanhun Stone was pitch black, it was easy to distinguish them.
But this is not the point. The point is that there is a strand of silk in the groove, about three inches long. As for its thinness, it is half thinner than a hair. It is colorful all over. Although it is very thin, it is very eye-catching!
However, it was this thing that made Master Ximen and others stunned and unable to believe it!
Because it is the mysterious soul power that can repair the soldier's soul!
The chance of this happening is one in a hundred thousand, but they both bump into each other. Isn't this luck too incredible
But the facts are before them, and they have to accept them whether they like it or not.
"Brother, we made a lot of money this time. Let's go celebrate and divide the spoils. No, no, we should divide the trophies, haha..."
Zhou Shu laughed wildly and pulled Wu Tian to leave. However, at this moment, Master Ximen stood in front of them and said with a laugh, "You two, do you dare to continue gambling?"
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "Betting on the Mysterious Soul Stone depends entirely on luck. Our luck has run out today. How about this, tomorrow, tomorrow we will accompany you to have a good bet."
“Can luck run out?”
Hearing this, a flash of cold light flashed in the depths of Master Ximen's eyes, but he smiled and said, "Okay, we have a deal. Tomorrow, I will personally be here to welcome you two. I will also invite everyone from the second garrison to participate in the gambling. Come on, give them 1 billion essences."
These 1 billion essences are naturally the cost of recovering the power of the Mysterious Soul.
"Such a big bet? But I like it, haha..."
Zhou Shu laughed loudly, and after the staff brought back the 1 billion essences, he and Wutan left.
After leaving the exchange, the two walked among the crowd. Zhou Shu was in high spirits, but there was a hint of suspicion between Wu Tian's brows.
Suddenly, Wutan frowned, took out a piece of essence, pretended to accidentally drop it on the ground, then bent down to pick it up. However, his eyes glanced behind him and he found a man in black with a strange expression, who would glance at them from time to time.
Seeing this, Zhou Shu asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"
Wu Tian stood up straight, threw the essence to Zhou Shu, and said calmly: "We are being followed."
"track."
Zhou Shu raised his eyebrows, and without looking back, he threw the essence on the ground and repeated the same trick. After two breaths, he stood up and sneered, "These people really can't afford to lose."
Wu Tian shook his head and said, "No, it's not that they can't afford to lose, they just want to investigate our origins. After all, most people wouldn't dare to make such a big bet, let alone take on tomorrow's bet. I'm sure that if you break your promise tomorrow, we'll all be in trouble."
Zhou Shu said disdainfully: "With you guys here, are you still afraid of them?"
Wu Tian shook his head and asked, "I have always wanted to ask you a question. Why didn't you take the power of the mysterious soul with you? Why did you have to sell it to them?"
