The most important thing was that this old man was not alone. There were no conflicts of interest between him and the major sects, so all the major sects liked to find this old man to be their notary.

When Song Zhen saw the old man, he could not help but bow respectfully, and then said, "Greetings, Sir. Since Sir is willing to be a notary for us, I naturally wish for it."

Lu Ming also nodded. Since he didn't need to spend money, it didn't matter whether he won or lost today's matter.

In reality, he did not understand what Song Zhen was really thinking in his heart. There were only twenty odd stones, but in reality, he had already marked them before, and he had already invited the Heaven Eye Master to show him which of the twenty odd stones had special items, and which were the normal and ordinary stones, they had already been marked.

"Since this old man is going to be your notary, then this old man will set a rule. There are 23 stones in total, each one of you will get 5 stones. So who cares who wins the last cut?"

"Alright, then I'll be troubling old mister."

had never played with stone gambling before, so he did not know which stone was good, and which was bad. In his eyes, all the stones were extremely ordinary and he would not even spare a glance at the side of the road, but since it was placed here, he could not help but look at it curiously.

After looking for a long time, he did not manage to find any clues. Using his Innate Qi, Lu Ming was also unable to see through the stone.

"The time I have chosen is 15 minutes. After the time has passed, if I do not choose then I will be deemed to have given up." The old man's voice was heard.

The two of them did not have any exchanges anymore. Song Zhen lowered his head, and looked as if he was carefully choosing, but in truth, he already knew what was inside the stone, he did not want to pretend that he did not know, so he carefully checked. Instead, he was afraid that Lu Ming would take it away, so he quickly picked out five stones.

However, Lu Ming kept his head down steadily, and looked carefully. Although the guy in front of him had taken away five pieces, he was not anxious at all.

This kind of thing wasn't something that could be easily encountered. It was extremely rare for him to encounter such a thing, and he had even met such a big miser. If he didn't have fun, then he wouldn't be able to face it.

The remaining eighteen stones were arranged neatly from small to big. Lu Ming looked carefully, and amongst them, there were two that were as big as a person's big toe, but were actually pretty much the same size. There were various kinds of holes on their surface, and when they struck at one's face, there was an ancient aura.

Lu Ming could not help but frown. The ancient aura made him feel extremely uncomfortable, thinking to himself, what kind of origin is this, it's probably not that simple. There must be even deeper records of this stone in the hands of this great power, where is this place?

Just by casually picking up a rock and aiming it at the light, he could already see that there were a few holes that had already been pierced. Lu Ming could not help but sigh.

The material of these stones were slightly different from the ones from before. The color seemed to be deeper, the surface seemed to be a little smoother, and the few small stones just now seemed to be on the surface, but the few stones should be in the center.

Lu Ming looked carefully, and after looking for a long time, he still could not see anything amiss, so he did not say much. After a while, it was almost time, he had already picked four stones, and the reason he picked the four stones was because they looked pretty good.

If others knew the reason for his choice, they would definitely laugh their teeth out. This fellow was truly too interesting, because this gambling stone actually had some principles. According to the appearance, shape, color, and aura of the stone, as well as the lines on it, it was possible to determine to a certain degree whether or not there was something hidden within it.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Ming was just about to randomly choose one, but suddenly, as if something had grabbed his heart, he suddenly looked at a small stone.

"Lad, if you don't choose the time, it'll be here." The old man beside him warned.

clenched his teeth, and placed the stone in front of him. The five stones had already been chosen.

The people below were all watching Lu Ming's choice with bated breath. Seeing him pick out five stones that were about the same, they did not say anything more, but in the end, no one expected that Lu Ming would actually pick out such a stone for the last time.

"Let's not talk about whether this guy knows how to play with stones. This is obviously a piece of white stone. There shouldn't be anything so small inside, and there are so many holes already. What can there be?" Could there be a gold mountain hidden inside? "

"That might be true. Who knows, I might even be able to cut out a great beauty."

"Such a small stone, yet he cut out a beauty to be the ant's girlfriend?"

"Hahaha!"

Waves of ridiculing voices entered Lu Ming's ears, but Lu Ming did not say much. He only smiled slightly, looked at the old man, and said, "Old sir, I have already made my choice, we can cut rocks now."

"Very good." When the wretched man saw this scene, he quickly walked over and stored all the other stones into his ring. He wondered how much money he had earned this time.

Song Zhen looked at Lu Ming with confidence. He took out a dagger from his bosom and said, "Since I was the one who said it first, then I shall cut it."

As he spoke, he picked up the knife in his hand and swung it up and down. The first stone was as big as a man's head, but with just a few slashes, it had already become the size of a peach.

When the last blade cut down, the entire rock suddenly released a gold light, which was exceptionally bright, illuminating the entire hall. On the second floor, many of the powerful people's teacups had already been crushed, and they could not help but frown as they stared fixedly at the rock in Song Zhen's hand.
