Chapter 439: The Stingy Girl

er nodded heavily, then let out a grunt, covering the glimmer of moisture that rose in his eyes. "Alright, stop overthinking things and go to sleep. I'll be going into the mountains with them tomorrow...These stones come in various sizes, some as tall as a man and others only the size of a fist. They have diverse shapes.

There were forty or fifty of them in total, and they didn't look special at all. Even Gingercloud felt like they could have been picked up off the ground randomly.

He couldn't believe that someone would actually sell stones as goods.

But when Jian Yun's divine sense swept over it, he was astonished to find that there was a strange force hidden within the stone, blocking his divine sense.

This made Jiang Yun instantly realize that he had misjudged the situation. Out of curiosity, he picked up a stone at random, just about to ask, but swallowed his words before they left his mouth.

These stones obviously have a history, and anyone living in this world would surely know it, otherwise the other party wouldn't sell them so openly.

If you ask randomly, it might raise suspicion from others.

After all, this isn't Xiao Village.

Just then, a figure rushed over and said, “I see you’re here! I’m done with my work and was just thinking of taking a stroll around.”

Coming is Li Yue.

Jiang Yun glanced at him, raised the stone in his hand and shook it at him, then transmitted his voice and asked: "What kind of stone is this"

Li Yue glanced at Jiang Yun with a strange look in his eyes, and he had the same confusion as Xiao Shuo back then. Could there still be people who didn't know about this kind of stone

But of course, he wouldn't reveal his doubts. He smiled and explained: "This is a kind of stone produced deep within the earth. However, its interior might be hollow, but it could also contain all sorts of treasures, so it's called a gembone!"

"Treasure"

Ginger suddenly became interested and said, "Baby What kind of treasures are usually found in a treasure"

"That's a lot, then. Ancient plants, spirit stones, ores, even exotic beasts, magic artifacts and so on."

Ginger Cloud's eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly. There was actually a magic weapon hidden inside the stone! Such exotic beasts, truly, the world is vast and full of wonders.

Having thought of this, Jiang Yun raised the stone in his hand and said: "What do you think there is in this treasure I have"

Li Yue smiled wryly and shook his head. "I don't know, the wonder of Dibao lies in its ability to block divine consciousness. If it's not cut open, no one knows what treasures lie within."

"It's very likely nothing at all, but it's also very likely that there's some kind of incredible treasure inside!"

Jiang Yun smiled and said, "So it means buying gembu is entirely based on luck"

"Yes!"

Li Yue nodded and said, "Actually, the earliest seller of earth treasures was Xiao Village!"

Treasures of the earth are extremely difficult to find because they are hidden underground. You can't just turn the whole Earth over, can you The Xiao family's cultivation method is related to the earth, so they are able to sense the presence of these earthly treasures!

Li Yue's answer confirmed something to Jiang Yun: the Xiao family could indeed wield the power of the earth.

Why don't they sell it then

"No one's buying!"

Li Yue spread his hands and said, "Every tribe's spirit stones don't fall from the sky. Spending some spirit stones to gamble on luck, this kind of thing was still done at first."

But the probability of a genuine treasure actually appearing among these treasures is extremely low, so gradually no one cared about them anymore, and they couldn't be sold at all.

Ginger nodded, that was true. Things like this, completely based on luck, were too expensive for the poor and looked down upon by the rich.

Though Jiang Yun boasted about his good luck, he wouldn't participate in things that relied on pure chance.

Moreover, he is now penniless and desperate. Although he can still afford one hundred spirit stones, he cannot just throw them away.

Just as he was about to put the gemback down, a little girl walked out of the stone house and said to Jiang Yun, "Big brother, we only sell each gemback for one hundred low-grade spirit stones. Buy one!"

This little girl, only eight or nine years old, had two pigtails. Although she was very pretty, her face was pale, and her pitiful expression made people feel sorry for her.

Seeing the little girl, Jiang Yun couldn't help but think of Jiang Yue Rou. He also knew that he absolutely couldn't refuse.

Having put down half her hand, she raised it again. Jiang Yun smiled and nodded, "Alright, I'll buy one!"

The little girl's face lit up as soon as she heard, and she said with a smile, "Big brother, you are so kind! You must be able to open the treasure chest!"

"You're so sweet!"

Ginger Yun took out a hundred pieces of low-grade spirit stones and placed them in front of the girl. "What's your name"

"My name is Qin Xiaoqi!"

Hearing this name, Jiang Yun couldn't help but be slightly taken aback, quite surprised. How could parents give such a name to a little girl

...stingy...

However, he also had no right to interfere with other people's parents' thoughts, so he could only smile and say: "Your name is very easy to remember."

"Cheers!"

At that moment, a deep voice echoed from within the stone house. Though knowing it was addressed to the little girl, Ginger Cloud couldn't help but furrow her brows slightly at the other party's appellation.

Oh, child, those terms are too harsh.

From within the stone house, a slender middle-aged man emerged. He swiftly pulled the little girl behind him and, with a smiling face, bowed to Jiang Yun: "Friend, children don't know how to speak properly. Please forgive any offense."

Ginger also politely returned the greeting: “No, the child is very well-behaved!”

Li Yue, who was standing nearby, suddenly laughed and said, "Qin Li, congratulations! You've already opened shop before the Hundred Families Gathering even begins."

This man named Qin Li only then saw Li Yue and, with a smile, clasped his fists and bowed: "It's really Li Village Head. It's been ages, you're still so fond of joking. Even if I sold all these treasures from the earth, it would barely be enough to make ends meet."

Indeed, he only has forty to fifty pieces of Earth Treasures here, each worth one hundred lower-grade Spirit Stones. Even if they were all sold, it would only amount to four or five thousand Spirit Stones. It's really not very profitable.

Besides, it would be nearly impossible to sell everything.

Ginger Cloud didn't further chat with Qin Lihan. Although he spent a hundred spirit stones, he was truly curious about this treasure. Now that it belonged to him, he wouldn't be so polite.

With a direct squeeze, there was a crisp "crack" sound. The piece of treasure in my hand split in half.

Inside, a wisp of faint pale white mist drifted out.

Li Yue smiled and shook her head. "It seems that the offering of ginger has a bit of bad luck. This land treasure is empty!"

Hearing Li Yue's address to Jiang Yun, Qin Li's face changed slightly, and he carefully scrutinized Jiang Yun again with a serious look.

Clearly, he hadn't expected that this young man before him would be the enshrined figure of Li Village.

Bad luck

Jiang Yun didn't think so. In fact, as he looked at the wisp of pale white mist, a gleam appeared in the depths of his eyes!

Because, just as that wisp of pale white mist appeared, within Jiang Yundan's dantian, the aged voice from the black stone resonated once more.

"The Way has no name, one step can transform into the Path!"

At the same time, a sharp roar echoed in Ginger Cloud's mind, that of Bai Ze: "Damn luck, damn luck! Kid, you're really having some crazy luck! I, I, I don't even know what to say!"

Apart from that, what surprised Ginger Cloud the most was that the mutated beast egg she had placed on the Xueya Blessed Land and snatched from the peak master of Hundred Beasts Peak in Wen Dao Sect, also faintly vibrated slightly.
