30- Position swap Gu!
Liu Yin continued to observe and evaluate, using the method of cancellation.
When Gu worms hibernate after self sealing, they would form into a natural fossil, being undetectable from most of the world's detection methods. The remaining detecting methods were too rough, and once used, it would instantly kill the Gu worm within that is barely alive.
Thus, when Gu Masters choose rocks, they could only rely on their guessing, experience and luck, sometimes relying on a little bit of instinct.
Otherwise, this would not be called gambling.
Of course, in this wide wide world, there are countless wonders, and one cannot exclude the fact that a detection method which is extremely gentle exists, allowing a Gu Master to know if the rock contains a Gu worm.
Mostly Gu masters might not be able to do that but a Gu Immortal definitely could do such a thing easily.
Liu Yin looked at the bright-colored and beautiful-looking rocks and decided to choose some of them.
"I want to purchase some rocks." Having picked her targets, Liu Yin said to the female Gu Master.
"Newbie!" The female Gu Master immediately thought.
Even the shittiest gamblers would pay very close observation when they wanted to buy the rocks. First they would look carefully, then place the stones in their palms and rub to feel the surface and its weight. Even after such actions, if they find that the feeling is off, they would give up. No one would say 'purchase' at the start.
And for such a type like Liu Yin, who said 'purchase' upfront, she is undeniably a newbie who is having her first rock gambling experience.
Although the female Gu Master thought this, she did not show any difference in her expression, but continued to smile like a flower, saying softly to Liu Yin, "Then which piece are you choosing?"
Liu Yin pointed and said, "This piece."
She immediately retrieved it.
Liu Yin pointed again and said, "This piece."
She felt perplexed, not expecting this youngster to buy two pieces.
'It seems like this girl is the type to gamble heavily,' she evaluated mentally.
But next, Liu Yin pointed yet again, "And this piece, that piece, I'm buying them all."
The female Gu Master was stunned, feeling extremely surprised, she could not help but assess Liu Yin and Liu Yang again.
'It seems like this boy and girl have a really good family background. Otherwise, how would any ordinary Gu Master have the spare cash to spend like this?' Thinking of it, the female Gu Master's smile became more gentle and friendly. To think that the two young in front of her was a real customer.
However, Liu Yang surprised her once again as he pointed to the furthest Blue rock, "Oh yeah, and those two pieces as well."
The female Gu Master could not help but feel shocked internally, 'Which young master is this from the Liu Village? It looks like he's the main family branch's inheritor. If I can hook up with him, I may not need to stay here and slog as a shop clerk anymore.'
With this thought, the female Gu Master's smile became even more gentle and she even looked towards Liu Yang seductively.
Liu Yin choose ten rocks while Liu Yang choose two.
twelve rocks were placed in front of Liu Yang.
Liu Yang took out one hundred and twenty primeval stones and passed it to the female Gu Master.
His act of payment attracted the attention of all the other Gu Masters in the tent.
"Oh? Someone is going to rock gamble."
"We've been watching for over an hour, but we haven't acted yet. Now that someone is giving it a try, we might as well watch."
"It's a student, he actually took out sixty primeval rocks at once, his family must be affluent. He looks like a greenhorn, hmph, gambling rocks isn't so easy. He's gonna get hurt real bad."
The Gu Masters stood on the spot, discussing softly, all directing their gaze towards Liu Yang.
Only the Gu Masters of the Liu Clan knew who Liu Yang was as soon as they saw him, but they kept quiet and watched.
Liu Sang was surprised when he saw that Liu Yin and Liu Yang were also in the gambling den.
'Idiots, they waste their primeval stones for nothing.' Liu Sang frowned, feeling a little jealous of them because they had so many primeval stones because they were the clan leader's children.
'But that's a good thing, let them distract everyone for me.' Liu Sang smiled, then started his plan as everyone was paying attention to Liu Yang and Liu Yin.
"Young master, do you want to open the rocks on the spot? Our gambling den provides free service to open the rocks." The female Gu Master gently advised, sending seductive glances with her eyes.
Liu Yin frowned and didn't like that the humble female Gu Master was trying to seduce her brother and got a little angry but Liu Yang patted her head which made her calm down.
Liu Yang used the corner of his eye to take a look at Liu Sang, his lips curling into a mysterious smile. He waved his hand, rejecting the female Gu Master. "I'll open the rocks myself!"
The female Gu Master's eyes shone brighter, thinking, 'this heroic demeanour, as expected of a rich young master.'
The changes to his surroundings did not affect Liu Yang's state of mind at all. He expressionlessly activated the primeval essence within his primeval sea, pouring it into the Gu worm.
The next moment, on his right palm emitted a faint yellow light.
Liu Yang used this right hand to grab a rock, holding it in his palm. Next he closed his fingers and slowly rubbed against the surface of the fossil.
The yellow light continued to shine, the waves of light rippling like water as the rock shrunk in size, large amounts of powder from rock shavings falling out from the gaps of Liu Yang's fingers, landing on the carpet of the tent.
"Young master has good handiwork!" The female Gu Master took the chance and immediately praised.
"What great skills." Seeing this sight, the Gu Masters' eyes shone across with a complicated glint. They had started to see Liu Yang in a new light.
The rock got smaller and smaller, from being slightly larger than a palm into the size of a fist, being gripped tightly by Liu Yang's fingers.
The yellow light intensified as the fossil became pearl-sized. Until finally, what was left was a pile of rock powder, falling on the carpet to form a small hill.
This was a solid rock, there was no Gu worm inside.
"Young master, there's still eleven pieces left," the female Gu Master encouraged.
Liu Yang's expression was calm, being completely unaffected. He grabbed the second piece of rock and continued to grind. But the result of this piece was still a solid rock; there was no Gu worm inside.
The third piece was still the same.
The Gu Masters grew impatient. "Stop looking. By relying on color to pick the rocks, there's no point in this gamble."
"If he can get a good Gu from this, I'll eat the pile of rock powder on the floor!" Someone laughed insultingly.
"Don't lose heart young master, isn't there 9 pieces left, you're only at the beginning of the way through," the female Gu Master continued to edge Liu Yang on.
Liu Yang grabbed the fourth piece, and when he got it to palm size, he suddenly stopped all action.
"Oh? There's something!"
"The rock composition changed, it's not bright red sediments, but a kind of ink-black colour."
"Don't tell me he really got super lucky from blinding guessing?"
The surrounding Gu Masters exclaimed lightly.
"Young master, you have to be careful from here onwards. Don't make sudden movements, hibernating Gu worms are very fragile. If you use too much strength, you'll kill the Gu worm inside." The female Gu Master did not expect such a situation to occur. After getting stunned for a moment, she immediately advised carefully.
Liu Yin was happy when she saw that the rock she had chosen contained a Gu worm, and she looked at her brother with anticipation to finish getting the Gu worm out of the rock.
Liu Yang's movements slowed, his fingers slowly rubbing as small powder slowly fell. Continuously repeating the action with many intervals, he was no longer as fluid as earlier.
The black coloured rock powder slowly fell off, and as the rock got smaller, Liu Yang's movements became slower and gentler.
On the carpet, the rock powder continued to gather as Liu Yang's black colored rock was finally scrapped clean.
A Gu worm appeared similar in shape to the shape of a mantis but with a purple color, this Gu worm is called the lion poison Gu.
"It really is a Gu worm."
"It's rank one lion poison Gu, this Gu worm is worth 200 primeval stones."
The Gu Masters who were watching started to discuss and one of them gave information about the price of a Gu worm.
This meant that if Liu Yang sold this Gu worm, his profit would be 80 primeval stones if the rest of the rocks did not contain Gu worms.
"Big brother, looks like I have good luck." Liu Yin hugged her brother's arm tightly as she looked at the Gu worm excitedly.
Although she definitely wouldn't use this Gu worm, she was still excited that she got something out of just buying rocks.
"Unfortunately, it is not a space path Gu worm." Liu Yang sighed, Liu Yin's luck was high so Liu Yang was hoping that she would get the space path Gu worm.
He gave a Gu worm to his sister and then He grabbed the Fifth piece of purple gold rock and continued to grind. But the result of this piece was still a solid rock; there was no Gu worm inside.
The Sixth piece was still the same.
The Seventh
The Eighth
The Ninth
"Looks like his good luck is over."
"Getting nothing out of gambling rocks was very common, a nine out of ten occurrence."
The Gu Masters started to discuss among themselves while looking at Liu Yang's failure.
Liu Yang smiled but did not reply, and he continued to take out the tenth rock.
He carefully grinded, and in ten breath's time, the surface of green coloured rock were all rubbed away, revealing a rough-surfaced yellow mud ball.
"Eh?"
"Don't tell me it's another Gu worm in the rock."
"Don't tell me there's really something?!" Upon seeing this, some of the Gu Masters stared with their eyes wide-opened.
"I feel like there is, there's really something." Another spoke softly.
Liu Yang continued to grind. Under the yellow light, the powdery sand fell off. Among the powder, there were some soil crumbs mixed in it, falling onto the pile of rock powder beside his leg.
The yellow mudball gradually decreased in size due to the friction, until the Gu worm appeared in front of everyone causing many of them to feel shocked.
Liu Yang smiled when he saw the shape of a Gu worm and recognized it directly.
Rank three Position swap Gu!
This Gu worm is a space path Gu worm that allows a person to exchange their position with that of the enemy or something else.
The price of this Gu worm was estimated at 40-50 thousand primeval stones.
Liu Yang looked at his sister who seemed very happy after telling her what this Gu worm was and how to use it.
Liu Sang who had finished doing what he was planning on was shocked when he saw what had just happened. 'How could this happen? He found a rank three Gu worm inside the rocks.'
