Chapter 1943 Stone Gambling 1
Was it because she already had cultivation that she possessed this ability?
If that were the case, it would make selecting the Blue Spirit Stones a much easier task for Gu Chaoyan.
Lost in thought, she was about to retrieve some Spirit Stones to begin picking stones when a familiar voice echoed in her ears. "Isn"t this Gu Chaoyan? Why are you here at a place like the casino for stones?"
"…."
"Not everyone can come to a place like the casino for stones. Most people end up losing everything. You should be careful," sneered Zhao Dier.
Not to mention Gu Chaoyan, because even a girl like Zhao, who was already at such a high cultivation level and grew up in a pile of Spirit Stones, often suffered losses when she came to the casino for stones, let alone someone like her.
Gu Chaoyan glanced at Zhao Dier, then s.h.i.+fted her gaze to the person beside her.
It suddenly dawned on her why Zhao Wuhuai had instructed her to come to the Yuehua Continent alone. It seemed she had an acquaintance here.
Accompanied by numerous elegantly dressed maids, the person beside Zhao Dier appeared to be the eldest daughter of a prominent royal family.
They naturally came here to gamble on stones.
However, the casino for stones was open to the public, allowing anyone to enter and try their luck.
As for the outcome of their choices, it was determined by the stones they selected. There was no restriction on who could partic.i.p.ate.
"Elder Miss, are you implying that only you and your companions are allowed in the casino for stones?" Gu Chaoyan addressed her directly.
Whispers broke out among the onlookers.
After all…
Most of the onlookers were gathered around the pile of ordinary stones, and some of them joined in mocking Gu Chaoyan after Zhao Dier"s comments.
Observing the situation, the person accompanying Zhao Dier grew a bit annoyed.
Zhao Dier continued, "Gu Chaoyan, don"t be so stubborn. I"m only giving you a friendly warning. Don"t you understand what"s in your best interest?"
"…."
"Am I really at a disadvantage?" Gu Chaoyan casually retorted, turning her attention to the inexpensive pile of stones and selecting the ones she desired. She had been focused on her cultivation and had no time to be bothered by Zhao Dier, the Elder Miss. Whatever she said, Gu Chaoyan could easily maintain the upper hand in the conversation.
Seeing Gu Chaoyan"s calm demeanor, Zhao Dier grew increasingly frustrated. She was about to say something more, but the person beside her pulled her back, restraining her.
Observing Gu Chaoyan"s lack of spiritual power and her unaffiliated appearance, the person accompanying Zhao Dier couldn"t comprehend why Zhao Dier was wasting her time engaging with such a woman, especially during such a crucial moment.
Their primary objective for coming today was to acquire Spirit Stones.
To obtain the Golden Rolls, they needed to swiftly increase their cultivation to ensure a successful acquisition.
For some inexplicable reason, Zhao Dier was indulging in a pointless encounter.
Feeling restrained, Zhao Dier refrained from further pestering Gu Chaoyan. She snorted and followed along as they proceeded to the upper floor, where the finest stones were located, unlike Gu Chaoyan, who was selecting the cheapest ones.
As they walked, Gu Chaoyan had already picked out the stones with the highest spiritual energy.
She handed over the Spirit Stones directly to the casino staff and requested them to open the stones.
The first stone was opened…
