After attending classes for five consecutive days, they welcomed their first rest day. After having breakfast, Su Lingfeng took the two thousand gold tickets given by Mu Da and brought Xunuo and Xiao Minglang out of the city's main mansion to go shopping.
Originally, Su Lingfeng also planned to ask Situ Xiaoshan for some money, but she didn't expect that as soon as she said she wanted to go out and have a stroll, Mu Da handed her four 500-face-value gold notes, saying they were the city master's allowance for her.
Su Ling sighed, two thousand gold coins was not a small amount of money, but compared to the amount she needed, it was still far from enough. However, now that she had this money, it wasn't good for her to ask for more, so she could only think of ways to make the money grow.
Su Lengfeng didn't want to show off the City Master's emblem everywhere, so the emblem on the carriage had already been taken down. Originally, he wasn't even planning to bring any guards, but Mu Da was worried, so he invited Xiao Minglang to protect Su Lengfeng and his servants. Su Lengfeng didn't insist anymore.
Entering the downtown area, Xu Nuo lifted the curtain of the car door and stuck out his head.
"Is there anything you'd like to order, miss?" Xiao Minglang asked aloud.
"Uh-huh." Xunuo nodded and politely said: "Trouble Xiao Shu, the young lady wants to go to the largest casino in the city."
Gambling den? Xiao Minglang was taken aback, not expecting the young lady to be fond of such things. Although he didn't quite agree with it in his heart, he was very tactful and didn't open his mouth to stop her. He whipped the horse's reins and headed towards the largest gambling den in Lingyun City, "Tianbao Pavilion".
"Tianbao Pavilion" is a very elegant four-story building, more than twice as large as "Kai Bao Hall" in Jiacheng. Next to it, a large piece of land was enclosed as a parking lot, where rows of luxurious and elegant horse-drawn carriages were parked.
The carriage that Su Lengfeng was sitting in, although spacious and comfortable, was decorated very simply and low-key. Among the many luxurious carriages parked together, it became the least eye-catching one. Only a discerning person could see that this carriage was made of extremely precious agarwood, and the horses pulling it were also rare and exceptional, everywhere showing understated luxury!
The arrival of Su Lengfeng and his two companions did not attract anyone's attention, for people who come to such a place, the stones are the most beautiful in their eyes.
Xiaobai's eyes widened as soon as he entered the "Tianbao Pavilion", his paws clasped together, drooling and grinning from ear to ear: "Hehehe... so many treasures, such beautiful treasures... Hehehe..."
"Money grubber!" Su Lingfeng's bun on top of his head scornfully curled his lips: "Mom, the bun doesn't recognize this guy, it's too embarrassing!"
"Oh, my treasure... my precious... mine, all mine..." At this moment, Xiao Bai's eyes were fixed on the gemstones and didn't even bother to argue with Tuanzi, having already dived headfirst into the pile of rough stones on the nearby stone table.
Su Lingfeng didn't say a word either, and came to the stone platform where Xiao Bai was enthusiastically selecting rough stones.
This is a medium-sized stone stage, the price is not particularly high, but not low either. The attendant in the car is much more polite than the one at "Kai Bao Tang" in Jiacheng. Seeing that Su Lingfeng didn't bring any gambling tools, he immediately took out a crystal magnifying glass and an inspection lamp for her.
Xiao Minglang wasn't very interested in the gamble, except for occasionally helping Su Lianfeng move a large raw stone, he stood aside, silent.
It was Xunuo who curiously patted and touched the gambling treasures, showing some interest in them, but she didn't have any intention of betting. Su Lengfeng gave her a considerable monthly allowance, so if she wanted to try her luck, she could afford some mid-to-low-end uncut gems. However, she was a person with self-control, knowing that the word "gamble" was an easy one to get hooked on, and without the capital, it was better not to get involved.
Under the guidance of Xiao Bai, this "super big outer hang", Su Lengfeng quickly selected three pieces of raw stone. According to Xiao Bai's description, the gemstone properties in these few pieces of raw stone are quite ordinary, but they are not small, and if they don't keep them for themselves, they can sell them for a good price.
Su Lengfeng thought for a moment, then walked to the lower-grade stone platform and casually selected two small pieces of raw stone that were worth five gold coins at a bargain price. She found an empty stone analyzer and ordered her servant to help move the three pieces of raw stone she had previously selected over, preparing to analyze them.
As soon as someone is about to open a treasure, the hall suddenly gathers a crowd of people who are either watching the excitement or preparing to bid on precious stones and materials.
"These few pieces of raw stone look pretty ordinary!" A fat man looked at the few pieces of raw stone by Su Lengfeng's feet and shook his head.
"Ordinary-looking ones don't necessarily mean they're not good, just like the defensive gemstone Old Wang got from a medium-grade stone pedestal two days ago, it made him a fortune!"
"Old Wang stepped on dog poop that morning and had a streak of bad luck!"
"Haha, then you come to gamble with treasure, also bring a pile of dog shit to step on!"
Su Lingfeng automatically filtered out the surrounding gossip, first picked up the largest original stone, Xiao Minglang helped her fix it, she opened the blade of the stone cutter, according to Xiaobai's indicated position, and cut it down with one knife!
"My goodness, look quickly, a treasure is coming out!" Someone exclaimed as soon as Su Lingfeng had just removed the block of stone that had been cut off.
"Isn't it just one cut and out comes a treasure? This little girl's luck is also too good!"
Xiao Minglang was stunned, this little girl, her luck is really good!
Xu Nu's face also showed a happy expression, Su Lingfeng's eyes lit up, and she was very excited in her heart.
"Hey, little girl, is this half-material for sale?" a middle-aged man asked.
"I'm not selling, I'll bet everything." Su Lingfeng said in a cold voice.
The crowd who were originally going to bid closed their mouths, stretched their necks and stared with wide eyes, waiting for Su Lingfeng to continue.
Su Ling's knife fell with the wind, steady and accurate, her movements were pure and efficient. After cutting away the outer stone, she twisted open the grinding groove of the stone remover and started polishing. In a short while, she had polished out a two-foot square piece of blue water-patterned jade!
Su Leng held the gemstone in his hand, sensing its properties and purity with his spiritual power. He then slightly curled up the corners of his mouth and said faintly, "A water-resistant gemstone with 70% purity, anyone want it?"
"Five hundred gold coins!" someone seemed to be calling out a price.
"Such a big piece of fine silk, you're selling it for 500? You little scoundrel! Little girl, sell it to me, I'll give you 600!"
"Six hundred and fifty!"
"Seven hundred!"
"Eight hundred..."
This piece of Su-Ling's wind flower cost 200 gold coins to buy the gem, and finally sold for 850 gold coins.
Su Lengfeng's second unsealed stone was a Five-Element Gold Coin, bought at a dirt-cheap price, and its appearance was really poor. Everyone shook their heads, but thinking of the high-quality material that Su Lengfeng had obtained from his first unsealed stone, they still had some expectations for this one.
As a result, Su Leng's knife cut through the stone like cutting tofu, and with three to five cuts, he cut it open. There was no unexpected outcome, and indeed, he lost the bet...
Su Ling's expression didn't change, and she fixed another original stone...
PS: There will be an update around 12 o'clock and another one in the middle of the night.
