Chapter 3029

"Should be expected," the man smiled. He knew that outsiders usually watched first before deciding whether to gamble on stones.

The cultivator known as the Spirit Ore Prince opened three more stones. Indeed, each one revealed spirit ore materials, after which he stopped.

"The Spirit Ore Prince achieved a 100% success rate again today," someone nearby sighed. "Actually, I don't need 100%. Getting two out of ten is enough for me."

"You just said the shop owner's stones are quite good. Why is the success rate so low?" Lu Fang asked.

The man replied, "It can't be helped. Even if the success rate here is high, stones are just stones. Whenever the Spirit Ore Prince comes, the success rate here drops significantly because he almost always gets 100% spirit ore materials."

Hearing this, Lu Fang understood. The meaning was simple: although this shop’s ores contained a fair amount of spirit ore materials, every time the Spirit Ore Prince came, he selected all the ones with spirit ore. Consequently, the ratio of remaining stones containing spirit ore decreased. This was obvious.

Meanwhile, Yan Xiwan gently pulled Ouyang Tianyun’s hand and whispered via telepathy, "The soul fluctuation of this Spirit Ore Prince is wrong."

"Hmm, it should be a reincarnated soul," Ouyang Tianyun observed.

"And his luck doesn't seem to belong to him," Yan Xiwan continued.

Ouyang Tianyun pondered for a moment, then calculated with his fingers before saying, "Indeed, it doesn't belong to him. In the mortal realm, he lived an ordinary, unremarkable life. However, he stole the opportunity meant for his twin brother. For a few days, he had luck. Normally, the one with stronger luck should have been his younger brother. If it were someone else's luck, he couldn't steal it. But because they were twins with similar bloodlines, he deceived the Eye of Heaven."

Yan Xiwan nodded. "This Spirit Ore Prince looks decent in temperament, but his body is filled with dark red aura. It shows he has killed many innocent people."

Ouyang Tianyun looked at the Spirit Ore Prince. Indeed, as Yan Xiwan said, the man’s aura was black-red.

"It seems he has committed many sins. However, if he continues to cultivate, he will not pass the lightning tribulation in the future. Eventually, Heaven will destroy him," Ouyang Tianyun said.

"Thinking about it, Heaven has been making mistakes recently. I barely had a relaxing period, and now a reincarnator appears. If this reincarnator did good deeds, it would be fine, but he is not doing good things," Yan Xiwan muttered.

Ouyang Tianyun smiled bitterly. He couldn't say much about this, as it was indeed Heaven's oversight. "So, do you plan to act?"

"Let's see. Since he is a member of the Gentleman Sect, and the Gentleman Sect accepted him as a direct disciple, I suspect the Gentleman Sect might be full of hypocrites. Therefore, I want to investigate first," Yan Xiwan said. Dealing with a Spirit Ore Prince would be very simple for her, but this was a critical time.

If it were elsewhere, it wouldn't matter. But this was Four Seasons City. If the Gentleman Sect was connected to that Delicious Tower or even the entire evil cultivator organization, they could eradicate the root.

Ouyang Tianyun thought for a moment. "Then soul searching would work."

Yan Xiwan looked at Ouyang Tianyun and nodded seriously. "You make a good point. Soul searching is good, but can we do it in public? We must wait until night when no one is around."

Ouyang Tianyun smiled and nodded slightly. "Wife is right."

"Of course." Yan Xiwan glanced at the departing Spirit Ore Prince. As she passed by them, Yan Xiwan flicked her finger slightly. No one else saw it, but Ouyang Tianyun clearly saw a bit of powder land on the Spirit Ore Prince.

This powder was tracking powder. As long as the person was alive, once contaminated, even constant bathing and changing clothes wouldn't remove it. The powder’s effect lasted seven days, so Yan Xiwan and her companions were not in a hurry. Within seven days, they would definitely find this Spirit Ore Prince.

"Wife, do you want to try gambling on stones?" Ouyang Tianyun asked with concern.

Yan Xiwan looked at the stones on the ground. "I can't tell which stones contain spirit ore materials. If I buy them, I’m afraid I’ll lose money."

"Why worry? We’re just joining the fun. If we make a profit, great. If not, it’s just for fun," Ouyang Tianyun laughed.

"Alright then. I’ll buy the cheapest ones. There should be cheap ones, right?" Yan Xiwan asked.

The shop owner nearby heard this and laughed. "Yes. The pair in the corner opposite you, to the left. Three stones for one low-grade spirit stone."

"Great. Let’s pick from there," Yan Xiwan said with a smile.

Yan Xiwan didn’t mind spending money, but sometimes playing the role of a weakling who hides her strength was also good.

That’s right. Because Yan Xiwan’s own cultivation involved converting spiritual energy, she was very sensitive to any aura. She could clearly feel that several stones in this pile contained spirit ore materials.

Yan Xiwan looked carefully and picked one out. "This one looks like a small pumpkin. I’ll take it."

Then she found another. "This one looks like a horn."

"And this one, looks like a bamboo tube. Just these three," Yan Xiwan said, handing a low-grade spirit stone to the shop owner.

The shop owner looked at the stones Yan Xiwan picked and asked with a smile, "Do you want me to cut them open for you?"

"No need. I picked these three because they look interesting. Besides, they are so cheap that there probably aren’t any spirit ore materials inside. I won’t cut them; it would ruin their appearance," Yan Xiwan said seriously.

The shop owner smiled. This pile indeed had few spirit ore materials. Picking three mainly because they looked like other things was a reason only Yan Xiwan would give.

Thus, the shop owner understood that Yan Xiwan was likely someone who didn’t lack spirit stones. Precisely because she didn’t lack them, one low-grade spirit stone meant nothing to her.

Because of this, the shop owners believed even more that Yan Xiwan and her companions were just here for fun.

Not only did Yan Xiwan buy three small stones, but Ouyang Tianyun, Pan Hongmei, and Lu Fang also casually picked two each.

However, the three of them did not pick from this pile. Instead, they went to other places. Considering they also couldn’t see clearly whether there were spirit ore materials inside, they simply adopted a similar picking method to Yan Xiwan’s.

The stone Ouyang Tianyun picked looked a bit like a knife. The one Pan Hongmei picked looked like an eggplant. The one Lu Fang picked resembled a cooking spoon.

After picking and paying, they didn’t cut them open but took them directly and left.

Although others watched their bizarre picking method, they did not take it to heart.
