"Although there are many stone stalls in these four streets, there are very few good stones, and the overall quality of the stones is very poor, not as good as those of the four major families."

"Then why are there so many people? It's more lively than the Yuling Tower."

Huo Chuan glanced at the people around him and said disdainfully: "It's cheap, just take a stroll and try your luck."

The good mineral veins are all occupied by the four major families, and what is left to the gangs are some old mineral veins.

"Then let's try our luck. My luck has always been pretty good, and this time will be no exception!" Ling Han wandered from stall to stall in high spirits.

Huo Chuan reminded from behind: "Be careful of being ripped off. The stall owners here are all cunning and cunning, especially when facing a stranger like you. They will definitely raise the price and cheat!"

Ling Han smiled slightly.

"Hey, Ling Han, you can buy that stone!" Xiaobai said in a language that only Ling Han could hear.

"Which piece?" Ling Han communicated with Xiao Bai in his mind.

"The stall of the old man in blue shirt, that blue-black stone in the upper right corner!"

Ling Han understood, stepped forward and said, "Boss, which mine is the source of the material?"

"Hey, little brother, come and take a look. This is the best material in this street, mined from the Qiyang Mountains!" The old man in blue covered his mouth with his backhand, stretched his neck and whispered to Ling Han.

Ling Han pursed his lips and said with a smile: "I'm lucky. I met the best stall as soon as I went out."

"That's right, the little brother's glowing face and high spirits are a sign of getting rich."

"You can also tell fortunes!" Ling Han casually chatted with him for a few words, but he didn't expect the old man to be more enthusiastic and read his fortune.

Seeing that he had attracted Ling Han's attention, the old man in blue sat upright and said nonsense: "I practiced Taoism on the Immortal Mountain back then, and I know a thing or two about destiny."

"Okay, old sir, please tell me, can I make a fortune by buying that stone?"

"Ahem, the so-called secret must not be leaked!"

"Sir, if you give me a few words, I will definitely buy your stone!"

"I have a fate with my little brother today. The so-called fate is overwhelming. This secret will be revealed, but the price will be a little bit volatile!" The old man in blue held his chin and said the last sentence hesitantly.

Ling Han's eyes trembled and he said hurriedly: "Money is not an issue, I am all ears!"

The old man in blue said with great satisfaction: "Look at my six rows of stones, which one you see first will definitely yield the best jade!"

"I want this stone!" Ling Han gently kicked the largest piece of bluestone with his foot, and said with burning eyes: "How much silver?"

"Little brother, you have such a good eye. You can tell at a glance that this stone is special!" The old man in blue praised a few words in a leisurely manner.

Ling Han was overjoyed and asked again: "Hurry up and negotiate the price!"

"To be honest, this stone is a treasure of the town stall, and I won't sell it to ordinary people! Well, I have a fate with my little brother, and the friendship price I will give you is 10,000 gold!"

The old man in blue glanced at Ling Han secretly and found that he didn't find it too expensive at all. He couldn't help but clenched his fists and thought, could the price be lower?

"Really? The treasure of the stall is only ten thousand gold?" Ling Han raised his eyebrows, showing dissatisfaction.

The old man in blue shook his head and argued: "Little brother, you heard wrong. I said the starting price is 10,000 gold. This stone will sell for at least 30,000 gold!"

"That's right. You can make a profit by buying a stone with 30,000 gold!" Ling Han nodded, slightly satisfied.

The old man in blue echoed: "Yes, look at this stone. It's big and round. It can definitely yield jade treasures that can only be found in a hundred years, no, a thousand years!"

"So, the other stones here are just dregs compared to this?" Ling Han finally asked solemnly.

"Although it cannot be compared with the stone you chose, it is also produced from the Qiyang Mountain mine veins, and it is definitely not comparable to other stalls!"

At this time, Huo Chuan, under Ling Han's instructions, picked up the big stone and said hurriedly: "Boss, I have taken a fancy to this stone for a long time. How can you sell it to others?"

The old man in blue was stunned, and another person took a fancy to this stone. He rubbed his hands and said, "I'm sorry, this young man has already decided to buy it!"

"Huh? Do you know who I am?" Huo Chuan was burly, with a scar on the left side of his face, and he glared at the old man in blue.

The old man in blue took a closer look and said in panic: "It turns out to be the young master of the Huo family, disrespectful and disrespectful!"

"Hmph, it's good to know me. Thirty thousand gold, right? I bought it!" He said and touched his arms to get some silver.

Ling Han glared at the old man in blue and said, "So you are going to sell this stone to him?"

The old man in blue suddenly fell into a dilemma. He rolled his eyes. If I sell it to Huo Chuan and go back to unpack the stone and find that there is no jade, the Huo family will be furious. How can I survive?

Why don't I sell it to this unfamiliar young man? Even if he goes back on his word, I can default on the debt and please Mr. Huo, and maybe even intercede for me!

So he took Huo Chuan's hand and flattered him excitedly: "I've heard about Mr. Huo's name a long time ago. It's really extraordinary when I see you today. Being able to patronize my stall is really a great honor."

"I beg Young Master Huo to hand over this stone to this young man. However, Young Master Huo can randomly pick one, no, two stones at the stall, as a meeting gift from me to Young Master!"

The old man in blue was so friendly that he was afraid of offending Huo Chuan.

Huo Chuan nodded slightly and said calmly: "For the sake of your sincerity, I don't want to win someone's love, so I will give him this stone!"

When Ling Han heard this, he quickly expressed gratitude and said, "Thank you, Mr. Haihan, for letting me go!"

The corner of Huo Chuan's mouth twitched slightly and he said to the old man in blue: "I will pick two more stones."

"Sir, please! I can help you deliver it to your house!" The old man in blue bowed his head and said politely.

"No need!"

Huo Chuan waved his hand, and despite the various refusals of the old man in blue, he took out a thousand gold and put it on the stall.

Then he picked up the blue-black stone in the upper right corner, then chose a palm-sized yellow stone, and said, "I want these two stones, is that okay?"

"No problem, the young master comes often!" The old man in blue was overjoyed. Huo Chuan was generous, giving free rocks and throwing away thousands of gold.

When Huo Chuan walked away, the old man in blue coughed lightly and said to Ling Han gently: "Little brother, can I buy stones now?"

"Ahem, okay!" When he took a fancy to the blue-black stone in the upper right corner, Ling Han gave Huo Chuan a look, and the two of them cooperated to buy it.

Ling Han was preparing to dodge perfunctorily, when a discordant voice came.

"You can't find anything after wearing your golden shoes. I'll spot you in the crowd at a glance!"

Wu Yaya walked over with more than a dozen people, all of whom were of good strength. Zhao Yang was at the front, rushing over and hugging Ling Han's arm tightly, as excitedly as if he had found a relative who had been separated for many years.

"Who are you?" Ling Han asked with a frown.

"Little brother, he is the son of Pinghu Gang leader Zhao Hu, Zhao Yang!" The old man in blue introduced to Ling Han when he saw that the situation was not good.

Zhao Yang has a medium build, a strong build, wheat-colored skin tanned by the sun, a dark round face, a pair of small eyes that are a little dull, and a simple smile hanging on his face.

"Oh, it turns out to be the young gang leader, whom I have admired for a long time!"

Zhao Yang excitedly grabbed Ling Han with one hand and said, "I miss Brother Mu day and night, and today I finally meet him!"

With a big wave of his hand, he shouted to the brothers around him: "Set up the arena!"

A dozen brothers from the Pinghu Gang quickly started to move and drove the pedestrians aside. The old man in blue was also driven away, reluctantly calling Ling Han.

"Little brother, you haven't bought the stone yet!"

Ling Han helplessly spread his hands at him and pointed at Zhao Yang.

Zhao Yang glared at the old man in blue and scolded: "Old man, who allowed you to set up a stall on my Pinghu Gang's territory?"

The old man in blue was immediately scared to death and ran away in a hurry.

Zhao Yang said to Ling Han kindly: "This is an old liar, very slippery, you don't know how to do it!"

"No, how could it be!"

A dozen people found wooden pillars from nowhere and pieced them together into an arena on the street in the blink of an eye.

Huo Chuan, who was walking away, heard the sound and came over. He stood in front of Ling Han and said to Zhao Yang, "Zhao Yang, what do you mean?"

"Huo Chuan!" Zhao Yang glanced at Huo Chuan and said in a cold voice: "If you don't stay well at the Huo family, do you have the guts to interfere in my affairs?"

"This is this?" Ling Han couldn't understand what kind of performance this was, setting up a ring in the street, so he asked Huo Chuan in a low voice: "What does this guy want to do?"

Huo Chuan was a little anxious and said: "The relationship between the Pinghu Gang and my Huo family is quite harmonious. I don't understand what Zhao Yang means, but he likes martial arts."

Zhao Yang didn't mince words and said straightforwardly: "Konoha, I've finally waited for you! Let's have a fight, and if I win, give me the space alien crystal."
