Niu Kui felt somewhat discontent in his heart.

These two people.

Were discussing amongst themselves.

But had directly left him out.

If it were another time, Niu Kui would definitely think of a way to slightly punish the master of the Shen Stone Workshop and Mo Xu.

This time, however, Niu Kui did not do so.

You may be discussing intently, but do you know the secret of the Money Leopard?

You do not know!

But I know!

...

About a full three hours later.

Wang Ye and Ji Ru Yu finally finished selecting their respective ten rough stones.

At the middle of Nine Dragon Mountain, large Luminous Pearls in the sky illuminated the entire mountain, making it indistinguishable between day and night.

Furthermore, the staff in Nine Dragon Mountain were all cultivators, though they were low-level, their power made day-night shifts not too much of a problem.

Otherwise, it would already be midnight now.

Twenty rough stones were placed in front of the cutting machine.

Ji Ru Yu's ten rough stones looked somewhat different, which made many people notice that there might be some good things inside.

Whereas on Wang Ye's side, they were bizarre and strange.

Some rough stones, at first glance by others, seemed to contain treasures but also gave off a peculiar, indescribable oddity.

And some rough stones.

Were entirely ordinary.

Even Ji Ru Yu, upon seeing the rough stones selected by Wang Ye, was slightly taken aback and glanced at Wang Ye.

Wang Ye's selections?

Can these really defeat me?

Why does Ji Ru Yu feel, just from looking at these rough stones chosen by Wang Ye, that Wang Ye seems to be intentionally trying to lose to him?

The master of the Shen Stone Workshop and Mo Xu, during their observation period, were mostly just chatting out of boredom. At this moment, when Mo Xu saw the twenty rough stones, his expression was slightly excited as he spoke:

"Let me do the cutting!"

Under normal circumstances, Mo Xu would never be the one to cut the rough stones.

After all, even when Mo Xu was conducting his research, all those small tasks were completed by his assistants.

Did he need personally to cut stone materials?

But now.

After three continuous hours, Mo Xu genuinely felt dead bored.

Moreover, he also wanted to see firsthand the result of the competition between Wang Ye and Ji Ru Yu.

Who will win.

Who will lose.

"Whose stones shall we cut first?"

Mo Xu asked.

"Let's cut mine first."

Wang Ye replied: "The last time, when I was competing with Ji Shen, Ji Shen's side cut first. This time with Ji Ru Yu is mainly to reclaim the lost ground on Ji Shen's side."

"Logically, we should start with my rough stones this time."

Ji Ru Yu, standing to the side, twitched his lips a few times.

If at first Ji Ru Yu wanted to compete with Wang Ye because of Ji Shen, by now, Ji Shen's reason had become a very small part.

More of.

Actually, it was because he personally wanted to compete with Wang Ye.

And, thinking about those things Ji Shen did, Ji Ru Yu felt a sense of disgust and revulsion in his heart.

"Okay."

Mo Xu agreed and began to cut the stones selected by Wang Ye.

Compared to the previous cutter, Mo Xu cut very delicately.

After all, Wang Ye had just found such a precious treasure in a single rough stone.

If he accidentally destroyed some treasure by cutting, wouldn't it be a loss?

Nonetheless, the cutting speed did not slow due to his delicacy.

On the contrary, the speed remained fast.

Although during Mo Xu's research, rough stones and such were always cut by his assistants, it did not mean Mo Xu himself couldn't cut.

Many times, when Mo Xu felt his assistants were tired, he would deceive himself into thinking he needed rest, letting his assistants leave.

Mo Xu himself would then return to his research.

Under these circumstances, since there were no other helpers, Mo Xu naturally did everything himself.

The surrounding magicians were all observing.

Their eyes on Wang Ye showed some confusion.

These magicians were all not speaking any opinions.

After all, before this, when Wang Ye was betting on stones against Ji Shen, the magicians were all discussing and were eventually slapped in the face by Wang Ye.

These magicians unanimously agreed not to let this happen again.

Furthermore.

Both Wang Ye and Ji Ru Yu carried high status, saying anything about either, if the other found out, would directly offend someone.

These people did not want such an outcome.

However, their eyes on Wang Ye still showed some confusion.

After all, the rough stones Wang Ye picked did not seem likely to contain anything valuable.

It was as if, when Wang Ye selected these rough stones, he was merely picking oddly shaped stones.

Wang Ye…

Does he want to intentionally lose to Ji Ru Yu?

Otherwise, why did Wang Ye pick like this?

The first rough stone Wang Ye picked, they could somewhat discern something but with these new ones, not at all.

Wang Ye watched the rough stones being cut by Mo Xu, feeling a bit nervous inside.

Actually, even Wang Ye couldn't be certain whether there was anything inside these rough stones.

After all, Wang Ye was using a brand new method.

Unlike the previous times.

Wang Ye didn't know if this method was effective.

After all, when Wang Ye selected the rough stones, these pieces of knowledge were somewhat contradictory.

For instance, one method told him there was something inside this rough stone.

While another method told Wang Ye there was nothing.

Wang Ye could only use other methods to judge, applying multiple methods at once.

With the change of times, it does not mean these concepts are the same; knowledge of magicians in each era had methods of their own time.

The judgment methods targeted different aspects as well.

Therefore, integrating them isn't just about applying all together.

But using the right means at the right place.

With it being Wang Ye's first attempt, making some mistakes was quite normal.
