Chapter 584: 584 small bets for family support and big bets for wealth and fortune
Yuan Tianbo’s expression was like he had eaten shit.
Damn that hoo-doo star, just as things were about to end, who would have thought one could extract Chenyun Gold from a useless stone.
Yuan Tianbo regretted it, he really shouldn’t have made that impulsive bet. If he had just dragged Mu Hanyan to dine instead, all these problems would have been avoided, wouldn’t they? What’s the cost of a meal in comparison?
"Ha ha ha ha, to think it’s Chenyun Gold, 6 million! Quick, give me the money, the stone is yours!" Ling Baobao jumped up excitedly, stuffing the huge piece of Chenyun Gold into Yuan Tianbo’s hands, recognizing him as the decision-maker.
No wonder he was so thrilled. Although it was Mu Hanyan, not him, who had refined the Chenyun Gold, it was done using his hand gestures. This at least proved one thing, his hand gestures could indeed be utilized in the Cultivation Space, just needing a different approach. However, others couldn’t understand his excitement and thought he was just elated about the pricey Chenyun Gold Mu Hanyan had produced.
Soon, Mu Hanyan found herself with over 5 million taels of silver notes, due to the high price of Chenyun Gold, naturally, the refining fee was higher.
Previously carrying several hundred thousand silver notes, Mu Hanyan felt like a little rich lady; now, by accident, she amassed over a million, feeling as if she was dreaming.
How does the saying go? A small gamble refreshes the mind, a big gamble injures the body, a strong stroke turns to ashes—oh no no, it’s a heavy gamble turns to ashes. Mu Hanyan wiped her forehead, feeling chilly, realizing that wasn’t quite right. It seemed more fitting to say, small gambles sustain a home while big gambles make one wealthy.
Of course, this was just for her. If anyone else tried gambling this way, they would have long been broke, hanging themselves with a rope.
It looked like her good luck was not over yet. She needed to carry on. Mu Hanyan picked up a larger raw stone and said to Yao Guangcheng, "Please assist me once again, elder, in refining this." As she spoke, a hint of sarcasm was evident. Given the situation, she didn’t need to care about saving face for the other party anymore, since from the beginning, the other party had intended to set her up, but instead ended up shooting himself in the foot.
Detecting the sarcasm from Mu Hanyan, Yao Guangcheng’s face flushed red, and once again, he produced the Alchemy Liquid.
"Wait, actually, using my hand gestures, theoretically, there’s no need for the Alchemy Liquid to refine it, well, maybe we still need to add his gestures." Ling Baobao interjected and then swiftly performed the hand gestures.
Seeing Mu Hanyan succeed once, Ling Baobao’s confidence soared, and his hand gestures flowed seamlessly with the vigor of the flowing clouds and water.
The surrounding spectators watched with delight, continuously cheering him on, understanding that the fees for such high-stake refining were hefty. If Ling Baobao could really refine the raw stone directly, the Yuan Family would inevitably see a significant dip in revenue, an outcome they were pleased to witness.
Yuan Tianbo also thought of this, watching Ling Baobao’s hand gestures, his heart climbing up to his throat.
They had inflated the prices of Meteorite Gold to lure people into a trap. From the outside looking in, Mu Hanyan winning repeatedly seemed merely like she was winning a few stones mined by the Yuan Family Mine, not much of a loss to the Yuan Family. However, the Meteorite Gold just brought back from Mu Hanyan for over ten million could sell for 6 million at best, considering the high extraction costs, they were still facing a large loss.
Fortunately, the higher the value of Meteorite Gold, the higher the refining fee. This allowed them a chance to recoup some of their losses.
If Mu Hanyan saved even that expense, they wouldn’t have any chance to mitigate their losses.
