Urban Romantic Divine Doctor Chapter 2083 - 2080: Guidance from the Painting Saint
Previously on Urban Romantic Divine Doctor...
Xu Wendong slept for a while and is now feeling refreshed.
Seeing Ying Youlu’s adorable demeanor, he didn’t refuse her.
"Where are we going?"
Xu Wendong asked. He is currently a wanted man, and if he goes out using his real face, he might be recognized.
So, he directly put on a disguise mask.
Ying Youwei and Ying Youlu, the two sisters, didn’t mind, as they already knew how handsome Xu Wendong is. They preferred him wearing a mask, so other foxy women wouldn’t target Xu Wendong.
"We’re going shopping! By the way, let’s visit the workshop operated by my family. I’ll take you to gamble on stones."
Ying Youwei said with a smile, "I’ve prepared the stone you wanted earlier; aren’t you going to open it? I’ll take you there now."
Upon hearing this, Xu Wendong nodded immediately.
Back when he saved Ying Youwei, he had his eye on a Treasure Ore.
The Treasure Ore contained something hidden that even the Painting Saint couldn’t decipher, so it was very likely an excellent treasure. Xu Wendong originally intended to open it, and luckily, the Ying Family are experts in the field.
So, Xu Wendong quickly followed the two girls and headed outside.
Black Tiger City is bustling. After all, it belongs to the Da Yin Dynasty, and Xu Wendong sensed its lively atmosphere as soon as he hit the streets.
Even at night, it was still crowded with people.
There are quite a few prominent families in Black Tiger City, and these families love to operate workshops. Their workshops sell various Exotic Treasures, but most are Treasure Ores.
Since Black Tiger City is a well-known source of Treasure Ores, there are many related industries here.
The Ying Family is the largest family in Black Tiger City and owns the largest workshop.
Just the profit generated from their workshop every day amounts to tens of thousands of Nether Crystals, which shows the Ying Family’s substantial power.
Even the Three Great Sects of the Heavenly Nether Sect are only comparable.
"Brother Xu, this is the workshop run by my Ying Family." Ying Youwei said to Xu Wendong with a smile. She now calls Xu Wendong "Brother" following her younger sister’s lead.
This term feels quite affectionate.
Xu Wendong nodded. Just by looking at the workshop’s traffic, Xu Wendong could gauge the Ying Family’s strength; it’s strong enough to rival the Heavenly Nether Sect, perhaps even surpass it.
"Take me to cut open my Treasure Ore." Said Xu Wendong lightly.
Then, Ying Youwei led the way.
They arrived in front of the Netherworld Pavilion.
The Netherworld Pavilion is well-known throughout the Netherworld; it’s the largest commercial intelligence organization, capable of procuring anything you need as long as you have enough Nether Crystals.
The Ying Family is the managing family of the Netherworld Pavilion in Black Tiger City.
"Our Black Tiger City’s Netherworld Pavilion is currently managed by our Ying Family. We have specialized Stone Openers who will help you unveil the treasures inside the stones."
"But before that, Brother Xu, would you like to visit the stone gambling area?"
Ying Youwei said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Xu Wendong was a bit curious; he had never seen stone gambling before.
Given that Ying Youwei mentioned it, he could experience it.
The three of them arrived on the second floor of the Netherworld Pavilion, where it was crowded and not tranquil like the Netherworld City’s Netherworld Pavilion. Instead, it’s more lively.
The layout was simple: packed crowds surrounded a stone stall in the center.
In the center was a stone stall displaying hundreds of Treasure Ores.
The person in charge of this stall was the Vice Pavilion Master of the Netherworld Pavilion and a member of the Ying Family.
"Everyone can freely choose; our Ying Family never engages in deceitful business. These Treasure Ores are the latest from the Heavenly Nether Domain, and there’s a big chance they contain treasures, so you definitely won’t regret purchasing them."
"However, there’s always a risk in stone gambling. If you choose to buy, you must be willing to accept the outcome."
With that, the Vice Pavilion Master started attending to the crowd.
"Give me one, I want that Treasure Ore with a red glow; there must be a treasure inside."
"What kind of vision, choose my stone instead. My Treasure Ore..."
"What do you know? Of course, you should choose the most expensive one..."
Soon, everyone was quarreling loudly, with many people directly purchasing Treasure Ores ready to open them. At this moment, Xu Wendong and others approached and attracted many eyes.
The two Miss Ying accompanied him, drawing envious gazes from many men.
"Who’s that guy, getting both Miss Ying to accompany him?"
"Could he be a young master from a big faction?"
"Possibly. This guy looks plain and shouldn’t catch Miss Ying’s attention."
The crowd cast glances, but Xu Wendong remained very calm.
Ying Youwei and Ying Youlu flanked him, clutching his arms, making others jealous.
Upon seeing the two young ladies, the Vice Pavilion Master immediately showed a fawning smile.
"Misses, what brings you here?"
"I’m accompanying Brother Xu to choose some Treasure Ores." Ying Youwei said casually, then looked sweetly at Xu Wendong.
"Brother Xu, pick as you like. Our Ying Family’s Treasure Ores are quite renowned, and you definitely won’t suffer a loss."
Upon hearing this, Xu Wendong nodded.
He observed around, noting that the Treasure Ores varied from large to small. The largest was over three persons tall, while the smallest was only the size of a thumb.
Such differences also represented variations in price.
Some Treasure Ores emitted Soul Power, appearing extraordinary, likely hiding valuable treasures, thus priced very high.
While others were nondescript and inexpensive.
Stone gambling is betting on what the stone contains.
If treasures are found, the buyer profits greatly; if not, it’s a big loss, hence the saying that stone gambling is a knife-edge between wealth and poverty.
Xu Wendong couldn’t discern much, but the Painting Saint was different.
Having abundant experience, he soon started advising Xu Wendong.
"Kid, look at the stone over there, smooth and round, about the size of a watermelon, emitting a red glow. This is artificial Soul Power; there likely isn’t anything good inside."
The Painting Saint warned.
Xu Wendong looked over. The Treasure Ore indeed appeared remarkable, priced at two hundred thousand Nether Crystals, and someone was already eyeing it.
Unexpectedly, in the Painting Saint’s words, the stone was actually worthless.
"Look at that stone over there, full of holes, clearly not a good choice either."
After some guidance from the Painting Saint, Xu Wendong understood how to proceed.
At this moment, Xu Wendong immediately tossed out three hundred thousand Nether Crystals and pointed at a piece of green Treasure Ore in the arena, "I want this one."
Upon seeing this, the crowd cast curious glances.
But when they noticed the green Treasure Ore, they burst into laughter.
"Haha, this kid knows nothing at all."
"Does he think this stone can yield a treasure?"
"Ultimately just a novice, huh."
The crowd ridiculed him, but Xu Wendong was unfazed.
