Chapter Sixteen Only Saw a Mad Dog

  The little beauty behind the big beauty was initially blocked by the big beauty due to her petite figure, and Xuan Qi only noticed her existence later.

  After seeing each other, Xuan Qi was stunned for a moment, because this beauty he knew, it was Su Xianzi Su Mengxue who had just seen yesterday.

  Before Xuan Qi and the other party had a chance to exchange greetings, another voice echoed in his mind:

  "Wow, this is a body of profound yin, it's even more suitable for being a tripod!"

  It was clear that Lao Ding also noticed Su Mingxue's existence at this moment.

  This old fellow, whoever he catches he says is a furnace, could it be that in his past life he was a lustful ghost reincarnated? Xuan Qi sneered to himself.

  However, he also had to admit that the two beauties in front of him were indeed stunningly beautiful. When he saw the big beauty, a strong desire to possess her involuntarily rose from the bottom of his heart, and when he saw Su Mengxue, he would have an impulse to protect her regardless of his own safety.

  Compared to her, Su Mengxue seemed like a flower bud that had not yet fully bloomed, pure and lovely. The woman in front of her, however, was even more capable of attracting men's attention.

  Xuan Qi unconsciously activated his "Jian Qi" technique and looked over, only to find that the aura of this beauty in front of him was also different from others. A pink glow enveloped her entire body, extremely pure and soft, even surpassing the jade-like aura he had seen before, truly living up to the saying "A beautiful woman is like jade".

  "Huh?"

  When Xuan Qi focused his gaze on the beauty's chest, he slightly froze, and in that place, he saw a cluster of deeper red light.

  "It's Hongyu." Lao Ding also discovered, "Looking at its color and size, it barely makes do, can be used to prop up for a while."

  The beauty and Xuan Qi brushed past each other, when she passed by Xuan Qi's side, although she saw Xuan Qi's gaze focus on her chest, she still smiled at him, making him lose his mind for a while. Maybe here, among the middle-aged men and withered old men on the street, after Xuan Qi's physical transformation, he stood out from the crowd.

  "Tsk tsk, what a perfect blend of charm and skill!" The old badger commented, "Every move and gesture can affect one's spirit, making it the most suitable for being a tripod furnace."

  A gentle breeze caressed his face, and Xuan Qi touched his nose, mumbling: "This is just a polite smile, how did it become a flirtatious move in your eyes."

  "Cut the crap! Do you think it's that easy to have such a strong attraction? This woman must have been practicing her seduction skills since she was young to reach this level."

  At this time, Su Mengxue also walked in front of Xuan Qi, looked at him for a moment, slightly nodded to him, and then followed the woman in front.

  Behind Su Mang Xue, there were four people. Two robust men who looked like bodyguards, and the other two, one was a 14 or 15-year-old boy wearing a duck tongue hat and a loose T-shirt, very stylish.

  Another was a young man in his early twenties, with a pale face and two golden fish eyes that were particularly prominent, as if he had not slept for several days and nights, looking very haggard.

  Jinyu's eyes passed by Xuanqi's side, staring at him with a puzzled and disdainful gaze for a while, before finally letting out a cold snort and walking away from him with her head held high.

  "What the...? What does he mean?" Xuan Qi muttered in confusion.

  "Can't you see that?" Old Ding said with a hint of schadenfreude, "You're not pleasing to the eye! Who let you keep staring at those two beauties? Xuan Xiaozi, it seems it won't be easy for you to take those two beauties as your furnace vessels. If I'm not mistaken, they should be from the Demon Gate."

  Xuan Qi's face was covered in black lines: "When did I ever say that I would take them as my Furnace companions? This is all you old...person saying, isn't it!"

  "Heh heh!" The old turtle sneered unceasingly.

  Xuan Qi's confidence was somewhat insufficient. To be honest, when he heard Lao Ding's motivational words, he wasn't entirely unmoved in his heart, but it was just a fleeting thought. This Ah Q spirit was exactly what he used to be best at.

  After Su Meng Xue and her group left, the street returned to its noisy state. Some people continued with their business, while others whispered among themselves about what had just happened and who those people were. Meanwhile, some followed behind the beautiful woman, watching both her and the commotion.

  "Right, Old Turtle, what did you just say about the Demon Gate? Is it an evil sect?" asked Xuan Qi.

  "It's roughly that meaning. All things in the world are like this, with yin there is yang, with rightness there is evil, and the demonic gate and mysterious gate are similar, it's a relatively vague term, mainly referring to the evil door and external way, all factions and forces that go against the orthodox Taoist sects' style of doing things are classified as the demonic gate."

  "I didn't expect there to be such a classification, it seems that Master Jin Yong isn't entirely making things up... But this kind of classification is too broad, everything is relative, and sometimes even good and bad are hard to distinguish."

  "Oh? You can think that way, it's quite unexpected for me. Indeed, the so-called right and wrong paths are just something some people came up with to achieve their own goals, they don't have any real meaning."

  Xuan Qi stood still and listened to the gossip for a while, learning from some informed sources that these people were not locals at all, but had just arrived here recently, with a lavish hand, seemingly extremely wealthy.

  Xuan Qi immediately followed, although he had no confidence in buying the red jade from his opponent, he had to try to know, even if he was unscrupulous, he didn't hesitate.

  A group of people finally arrived at a jade store called "Qí Shí Táng", but many people who wanted to follow them in were rejected and told that they had to pay an entrance fee, which was not small, two hundred yuan.

  Although 200 yuan is not a lot, this measure will filter out many people who want to join in the fun, and they are unwilling to spend 200 yuan just to join in the fun.

  Xuan Qi spent 200 yuan to buy an admission ticket and as soon as he entered the door, he bumped into a young man with golden fish eyes.

  "Look at this! Even stray cats and dogs are allowed in!"

  Xuan Qi raised an eyebrow and smiled: "I didn't see Ah Mao, but I saw a mad dog!"

  The goldfish's eyes were wide with anger, just about to burst into a loud scolding, but in the blink of an eye, Xuan Qi's figure had vanished. Although they had filtered out a batch of people, there were still many inside, and the crowd was coming and going like a rural market.

  Jinyu eyes looked at the crowd for half a day, never saw Xuan Qi's figure, a breath of air suspended in his chest for half a day without being released, as if a punch hit an empty space, extremely depressed.

  "Hehe"

  A sudden soft laugh in his ear made Jin Yu Yan feel like he had lost all face, his face flushing bright red. However, when he turned his head to look, he found that the person who had laughed was Su Ming Xue, who had come with him, and hastily swallowed back the angry words that were about to leave his lips.

  "Goldfish eyes put all his anger on Xuán Qí's body, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth: 'You little scoundrel, pray that you don't fall into my hands, or I'll make you wish you were dead!'"

  Su Mengxue knew she was a bit rude, covered her small mouth and quickly followed the pace of the beautiful woman walking in front, while secretly thinking, how did I run into that guy again here, he cheated my grandfather out of 800,000 yuan, don't know what bad things he's planning to do this time.

  Xuan Qi had no idea that he had sold the top-grade Qing Hua porcelain at a relatively cheap price, but was thought to be a swindler by Su Ming Xue. At this moment, his entire attention was focused on the stones placed all over the courtyard.

  In the small courtyard, people were bustling about, extremely lively. Some of them gathered around a pile of stones in the center of the courtyard, looking left and right.

  Originally, Xuán Qí thought "Qí Shí Táng" was just a place that sold jade products, but he didn't expect that there was actually another completely different way of playing.

  Jadeite is usually covered with a layer of weathered rind or rock when it is extracted, and people can't know what kind of jade is inside. It must be cut open to determine the variety and quality of the jadeite inside.

  It is often said that anything can happen, and in the jade industry, there is a saying: "One knife to poverty, one knife to wealth, one knife through hemp; crazy people buy, crazy people sell, and there are still crazy people waiting." Nobody knows what will be the outcome of this one knife.

  So jade merchants came up with a way to reduce their own risk - gambling on stones. They sell the original or semi-finished stones at a hefty price to customers, who either cut them open on the spot or do it themselves. Whether they turn out good or bad, it's all the customer's problem.

  Someone spent hundreds of yuan to buy a raw stone that may contain an imperial top-grade jade, but also possible that the one worth millions is just a tiny bit of green skin. In the stone gambling market, the myth of getting rich overnight is staged every day, and there are also tragic stories of bankruptcy and jumping off buildings.

  This Qishi Hall is the only store on the entire street with a stone gambling project. Because the boss has connections in Myanmar, he imports a batch of raw stones from there every once in a while and invites industry insiders to participate in stone gambling. Over time, it has formed a reputation, and of course, the boss of Qishi Hall has also made a fortune.

  In recent years, the price of jade has skyrocketed, and the price of raw stones has also risen sharply. Even a fist-sized stone with no signs on its surface indicating that it contains jade can cost at least hundreds to thousands of yuan.

  Xuan Qi was originally not a person in this circle, and it was the first time he heard of the concept of betting on stones. He admired his boss's business acumen at the same time, and couldn't help but feel eager to try.

  In the human body, there is a "good gambler" gene from birth, and Xuan Qi is no exception. If you spend hundreds to buy an original stone that contains a jade worth tens of thousands, this temptation of hitting the jackpot is something nobody can resist.

  Xuan Qi walked around the stones for a while, thinking of the aura-reading technique he had just mastered. He thought to himself: "The aura-reading technique can see the 'aura' of all things, I wonder if it can see the jade inside the stone?"

  At this point, Xuan Qi immediately secretly concentrated his spirit, operating the yuanqi in his body to focus on his eyes and ancestral orifices. After a slight daze, the scenery he saw in his field of vision suddenly changed, and clusters of peculiar light groups with different colors and varying brightness appeared before his eyes.
