Chapter 1: Crossing Over into the System

  "Time's up, please come forward, all three of you." Gu Tian shouted as soon as the time was up.

  "Finally, the time has come, that young man took so long to choose a stone, this gamble isn't one where the longer you take the more likely you are to win."

  "That young man's confident attitude might just give him a chance of winning after all."

  "Hmph, if he wins, I'll never gamble on stones again."

  "I'm also betting."

  "It's open, it's open! Longdou wins with odds of 3:2, Liu Sanbian wins with odds of 5:3, the unknown youth wins with odds of 1:10, place your bets quickly!"

  "I bet a Long Bean and win, wagering one inferior Spirit Stone."

  "Willow Three Changes, three pieces of low-grade spirit stone."

  "Willow Three Changes, one piece of low-grade spirit stone."

  "Long Bean wins, two pieces of low-grade spirit stone."

  Huang Yu looked at this gambling game, all of whom were betting on Long Bean and Liu Sanbian to win, with the most people betting on Liu Sanbian, but surprisingly no one was optimistic about himself.

  However, since there is such a gamble, if you don't buy it yourself and win, then it's really stupid. Since it's a must-win situation, if you don't take this wealth that's being handed to you on a silver platter, then you're an idiot.

  However, the problem now is that there's nothing extra to be used as collateral. The Black Wind Sword naturally can't be taken out. Hei Yanzi had once warned that before his own strength was sufficient, it would be best not to take out his things, showing that Hei Yanzi has many enemies. With my current weak strength, provoking too many enemies is not a good thing.

  Huang Yu hesitated for a moment, then set his sights on the Divine Stone Pavilion. He looked at Gu Tian Dao, the pavilion's owner: "Senior, may I borrow some spirit stones from you?"

  "How much do you want, little brother?" Gu Tian's heart was filled with joy and surprise. He had been thinking about how to get along with this young cultivator of the Golden Ancient Eye Technique, and now an opportunity had presented itself, so he must grasp it firmly.

  "How much can seniors lend me?" For Huang Yu, the more Ling stones, the better. The odds of one to ten were a great opportunity, and one low-grade Ling stone could earn back ten, which was too amazing, not betting would be unreasonable.

  One hundred.

  "One hundred low-grade spirit stones, this is also good." Being able to borrow one hundred low-grade spirit stones, Huang Yu was already satisfied. After all, he had just arrived and didn't have any background.

  Of course, for Huang Yu, although it was only a hundred pieces of low-grade spirit stone, after betting, he could get a thousand, which wasn't bad either.

  "No, little brother misunderstood." Gu Tian shook his head and said.

  Listening to Gu Tian's words, Huang Yu's face suddenly turned black, somewhat embarrassed. Could it be that not even a hundred pieces of low-grade spirit stones were available? This was indeed a missed opportunity.

  "It's junior..."

  Huang Yu had not finished speaking when Gu Tian Dao said: "This old man can lend one hundred mid-grade spirit stones to young brother."

  "A hundred mid-grade spirit stones?" Huang Yu was shocked, he hadn't expected this old man to be willing to give him, a complete stranger, such a huge amount of trust. It made Huang Yu feel a bit embarrassed, but since the old man had agreed to lend it to him, there was no reason to refuse. Moreover, if he won the bet, he could return the spirit stones immediately. However, this way, he would owe the old man a favor.

  "Thank you, senior."

  Nothing much, I'm looking forward to your performance." Gu Tian smiled and took out a bag, handing it over to Huang Yu.

  "Don't worry, senior. This hundred mid-grade spirit stones will be returned to you by tonight." Huang Yu said after receiving the spirit stones.

  "This is not urgent, this hundred pieces of middle-grade spirit stone are my own property and do not belong to the Divine Stone Pavilion. So, little brother can return them whenever he wants, I trust little brother's character."

  "Thank you for the trust, elder. Don't worry, I still have some credibility." After finishing speaking, Huang Yu picked up the spirit stone and came to the front of the gambling den, looking at the middle-aged man who opened the den, "One hundred pieces of medium-grade spirit stones, bet on my own victory."

  "Little brother, are you sure? This is no small amount." The middle-aged man looked at Huang Yu in shock, wondering if this young man had gone crazy or was blindly confident.

  "Don't accept? You opened a gambling den, can't you even afford to lose? If you can't afford it, then don't open a gambling den." Huang Yu also felt somewhat displeased in his heart. He was looked down upon by him and actually offered odds of 1:10, which made Huang Yu feel very uncomfortable. Not making a big profit from him would be unforgivable to himself.

  "Accept it, why not? Not accept it, a mere thousand mid-grade spirit stones, Night Maple can still afford to lose." The middle-aged man said.

  "This is for the best, I wouldn't want you to be unable to afford that many spirit stones later on." Huang Yu said.

  "Haha, little brother's worries are unnecessary. Ye Feng is the chief executive of Fei Ying Gang, and Fei Ying Gang is a well-known name in Qi Shui City. A mere 1,000 mid-grade spirit stones aren't even worth considering. Little brother can rest assured." At this time, Gu Tian walked over, "Ye Feng, I'm also betting 100 blocks of mid-grade spirit stones that this little brother will win."

  Ye Feng's face turned green with anger, his face twisted in bitterness. In his heart, he cursed: "What kind of person is this Gu Tian? He's the boss of Shen Shi Ge, and his eyes are as sharp as a furnace. The people he favors usually don't disappoint him. And yet, Gu Tian actually bet on the young man winning, which means the young man's chances of winning have already reached 80%! You know, Gu Tian is a master gambler, with no tricks up his sleeve - how could he possibly be the boss of Shen Shi Ge?"

  "Mr. Gu, you'd better not join in the commotion at your age."

  "What's wrong, Ye Feng Xiaozi, you look down on this little bit of spiritual stone? If that's the case, then I'll add another thousand. Otherwise..."

  "A hundred mid-grade spirit stones are just a hundred mid-grade spirit stones." Ye Feng could only accept Gu Tian's bet, and this time, he had really lost big. Fortunately, the people who had bet on Huang Yu winning were only Gu Tian and Huang Yu himself, while others had bet on Long Dou and Liu Sanbian winning. Even so, Ye Feng would still lose a lot. This time, if that young man really won, Ye Feng would at least lose a thousand mid-grade spirit stones. That was not a small amount.

  "I want to change the outcome of the purple shirt youth's victory."

  "Me too."

  "I bet ten mid-grade spirit stones on the young man in purple winning."

  "Sorry, we no longer accept bets from the young man in purple. Those who have already placed their bets cannot change them." Night Maple's forehead was sweating as he refused, and only then did he take a deep breath. If they were allowed to place more bets on Huang Yu's side and Huang Yu really won, wouldn't he end up losing everything?

  At this time, Ye Feng only hoped that Huang Yu could lose in this duel, and only if he lost, could he make some money.

  Huang Yu was very calm, with no ripples on his face, while Long Dou and Liu San's faces changed in different ways, especially Liu Sanbian, whose face turned black as coal.

  As the young master of the Liu family, the son of Zhongyuan Jianzong Liu Yuan, he was naturally aware of the status of the Divine Stone Pavilion's ancient Tian. Although he had not cultivated the Eye Technique, in terms of gambling on stones, he was extremely formidable, surpassing even his own father Liu Yuan. His reputation in the stone-gambling world was extremely high.

  "I bet a thousand mid-grade spirit stones that Liu Sanbian will win." Just then, a loud voice entered the ears of the crowd. Turning their heads to look, they saw that it was none other than the core disciple of Zhongyuan Sword Sect, Liu Guangming, the clan brother of Liu Sanbian.

  "It's Liu Guangming, the core disciple of Zhongyuan Jianzong, a genius of the demon level. It is said that his Qingmu Tongshu has already reached the point of pure anger, and his Duanshi technique is probably not much weaker than Gutian."

  Liu Guangming has also arrived, it's lively now.

  Ye Feng's expression changed slightly. Although he was the chief executive of Fei Ying Bang, compared to the core disciples of Zhong Yuan Jian Zong, he was still far inferior. Their cultivation was similar, but their status was vastly different. The core disciples of Zhong Yuan Jian Zong were not something that a mere executive of Fei Ying Bang could compare to.

  At this time, Ye Feng was in a precarious situation.

  "I'd like to see what kind of ability someone who dares to fight a bet with my younger brother has." Liu Guangming looked at Huang Yu coldly and said.

  That gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing directly into Huang Yu's heart, causing him to break out in cold sweat. Liu Guangming's cultivation had reached an unimaginable level, with even the weakest being at the Yuan Shen realm.

  Frightening, it's actually frightening, his age, at most only twenty-five or six, yet he has reached the Yuanshen realm, this Zhongyuan Sword Sect is indeed powerful.

  ……

  ……

  The first stone opened was Long Bean.

  That piece of raw jade, in Gu Tian's hands, kept rotating, and the stone chips were cut off bit by bit, gradually revealing the jade inside. Just as Gu Tian's hand slightly shook, the thing inside the raw jade suddenly opened up, emitting a brilliant light.

  "A piece of medium-quality spirit stone."

  Upon hearing Gu Tian's words, Long Dou revealed a hint of a smile. The first piece wasn't bad; it was actually a mid-grade spirit stone, which made Long Dou quite satisfied.

  However, the second piece turned out to be a low-grade spirit stone, which was somewhat disappointing. Now, Long Dou could only place his hopes on the last unrefined stone.

  When it was opened halfway, Gu Tian was slightly surprised and said: "This piece is a terrestrial yuan stone, worth 90 lower-grade spirit stones."

  The second person to open the stone was Liu Sanbian.

  The first piece also produced a mid-grade spiritual stone, while the second piece produced a piece of spiritual jade. Although it was only a low-grade spiritual jade, its value was astonishing, equivalent to two mid-grade spiritual stones.

  "Haha, Longdou, this time I've won for sure." With one piece of Lingyu and one piece of mid-grade Ling stone, he had already secured a win over Longdou. As for the remaining piece, no matter what it turned out to be, he had already surpassed Longdou.

  "Don't be too happy yet, there's still this guy here, you're not necessarily the final winner." Long Dou said with a bad expression and a cold tone.

  "You're too naive, even if he takes out three mid-grade spirit stones, I still win." Liu Sanbian was extremely pleased.

  "Hmph." Long Dou let out a cold snort and stopped talking.

  Liu Sanbian finally opened up the last piece of raw jade, but it was only a superior white jade worth 100,000 gold.

  It was finally Huang Yu's turn.

  The first piece of raw ore produced a mid-grade spirit stone.

  When he opened the second piece of raw stone, Gu Tian was extremely careful.

  "It's turned green, this isn't Ling Stone."

  "A very rich spiritual energy."

  "How beautiful! What kind of jade is this?"

  "The whole person feels exceptionally cool and refreshing... This piece of jade can calm one's mind and soothe their spirit?"

  "This... is this the Millennium Jade Heart?" Looking at the object in his hand, Gu Tian's hands trembled, the Millennium Jade Heart, which was the essence of jade, even more precious than jade marrow.
