Chapter 5 Stone Gambling

The next day, He Qiu just woke up and was about to start today's practice.

Although there are no spiritual objects in hand, the practice itself is the familiarity and understanding of the techniques, and is not limited to increasing the sea of ​​suffering.

Even though he has just started practicing, He Qiu has initially understood what cultivation is.

Cultivation is not just about increasing lifespan and gaining strength. Lifespan can be taken away and strength can disappear. Only the insights and understanding of the exercises during practice are the most important.

Therefore, even if practicing without taking spiritual substances does not bring much benefit to the sea of ​​suffering, He Qiu does not want to stop practicing.

You can't reach a thousand miles without taking small steps. Today you can make excuses not to practice because you don't have spiritual objects, and you can use other reasons to deceive yourself tomorrow.

Of course, hard work is for ordinary people, cheating is another matter.

Except for He Qiu's Bronze Gate giving him a message to explain the situation when he first crossed over, he never made any movement after that.

No matter how He Qiu tried it, there was no response, so knowing that the golden finger was not powerful, he could only rely on his own efforts for the time being.

However, cultivation is nothing to He Qiu, at least it is much easier than studying at school in his previous life.

Elder Jia Fu would also remind him of the balance between work and rest. People in his previous life, except his parents, were urging him to study hard, go to a good university, find a good job, marry a good wife, and have a good son.

Compared with those things, cultivation is really a very enjoyable thing. After all, being able to feel the feedback that cultivation brings to oneself is enough to keep people motivated to practice.

Peng!

"He Qiu, let's go. I'll take you to see something nice."

Jia Fu's big round face smiled at He Qiu.

He Qiu had no choice but to stop thinking about practicing, got out of bed and followed him outside.

When you have no strength, try not to refuse the invitation of a strong person. Even if you have good reasons, it will change his sense of you.

This is a truth He Qiu came to because he was fired after rejecting an invitation from his divorced boss.

…………

He Qiu looked at the dazzling array of strange stones, and felt inexplicably the desire to open a stone workshop.

Unlike those common people who only want the treasures in the Source Stone, he prefers the Source Stone whose value is uncertain.

A piece of Source Stone is priceless before it is opened, but once it is cut, it becomes an item with a determined value.

"He Qiu, today is the first time I have brought you to Shifang. You can pick any Origin Stone and I will pay for it." Jia Fu said with a smile.

"Thank you very much, elder."

Although He Qiu didn't like to judge the value of an Origin Stone so roughly, after all, it was the elder's wish and it was hard to refuse.

Seeing He Qiu walking towards the most expensive Origin Stone courtyard, Jia Fu's face twitched.

In a courtyard, He Qiu walked around casually. He did not go to the most expensive source stone, but found a courtyard with a moderate price.

After all, He Qiu has no experience in selecting Source Stones. Choosing the Source Stone this time will most likely be a waste of resources, and he feels that the relationship between Jia Fu and him is not as good as this.

Although Jia Fu likes to gamble on stones, there is a difference between buying Source Stones for yourself and buying Source Stones for others.

He Qiu would not bet on the depth of his friendship with Jia Fu these days, so he wanted to randomly pick an affordable source stone.

This will neither damage Jia Fu's face nor cause him physical pain.

Suddenly, He Qiu had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, feeling that something was attracting him, and the divine power in the sea of ​​suffering began to boil.

He Qiu was a little surprised and uncertain.

Sure enough, all the time-travelers are the protagonists?

He Qiu continued to walk forward, and the divine power in the sea of ​​suffering became more and more active, until he came to a dark brown Origin Stone.

This is a piece of source stone about the size of a human head. Its surface is crisscrossed with ravines, giving it a sense of vicissitudes that have passed through the years.

"This is the Origin Stone dug out from the ancient mines of Taichu. Many customers want to buy this Origin Stone." A servant-looking man introduced it to He Qiu.

"Then why hasn't it been bought?" He Qiu glanced at him with a half-smile.

If the source stone was really dug out from the ancient mine of Taichu, it would definitely be placed in the deepest courtyard. How could it be placed here?

"It's good that you know the customer." The man smiled and said nothing more. He was just trying to see if he could sell it, and his face was not that valuable to him.

Rubbing the hard surface of the Origin Stone with his hand, He Qiu felt the longing coming from the sea of ​​suffering and thought carefully about something.

Maybe He Qiu touched it with his hands for a long time, and a harsh sound came to his ears.

"Haha, some people don't touch the Origin Stone if they can't buy it. If they touch it, it won't be theirs."

He Qiu looked behind him and saw a man in Tsing Yi standing behind him and looking at him proudly.

"Where did you come from?" He Qiu had a headache. He didn't expect to meet such a brainless villain even if he bought a source stone. Is it true that the stronger the strength, the smaller the brain?

"What a joke, you poor guy, get out of the way. If you don't want to buy it, let me buy it." The man in Tsing Yi frowned. He felt that He Qiu was scolding him, but he didn't understand what the joke meant.

"Did I say I didn't want to buy it?" He Qiu took the Origin Stone and walked in the direction of Jia Fu.

Originally, he was still hesitating whether to buy it immediately. After all, He Qiu's current strength is very weak. If any treasure is revealed, it will be difficult to hold on to it.

But buying this source stone later may increase the risk of being bought by others.

There is no need to hesitate now. Someone wants to buy the Origin Stone in his hand, and He Qiu can only buy it now. The worst case scenario is to just donate the treasure, and maybe he can get some benefits.

"Elder Jia, I want this Origin Stone."

Jia Fu turned around and glanced at the Origin Stone in He Qiu's hand. Although he felt that He Qiu couldn't produce anything good, he still paid for the Origin Stone.

The man in Tsing Yi also followed him at this time. He seemed to have noticed the relationship between He Qiu and Jia Fu, and he sarcastically said: "Senior Hua, I don't feel sorry for you. This senior, be careful that all your life savings have been wasted."

Jia Fu smiled and ignored the man in Tsing Yi.

He Qiu took a few more glances at the man in Tsing Yi.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, the man in green no longer asked for trouble, turned around and left, heading towards the Origin Stone elsewhere.

At this time, a master source came over, picked up the source stone held in He Qiu's hand, and started cutting the stone.

As the stone skin was slowly peeled off, the source stone that was the size of a human head was only the size of a palm.

"Don't be discouraged. There are always winners and losers when betting on stones. You have bad luck today, I will bring you here tomorrow." Jia Fu saw that the chance of the Origin Stone being able to come out was low.

He Qiu nodded, but for some reason, he always felt that it was Jia Fu who wanted to come tomorrow, rather than to comfort him.
