Urban Romantic Divine Doctor Chapter 2084 - 2081: Are You Courting Death?

The Painting Saint has already taught him how to select a treasure ore, and Xu Wendong has gained some experience.

But his experience might be too overwhelming and completely contrary to the buyers present.

Even the two ladies from the Ying Family, who are in the treasure ore business, began to persuade him.

"Brother Xu, why don’t you choose another one? That stone might not have anything valuable inside." Ying Youwei said helplessly, realizing Xu Wendong really didn’t understand.

"Oh? Why?"

Xu Wendong asked in confusion.

At this moment, Ying Youlu seized the chance to explain.

"In the stone gambling circle, the judgment for selecting treasure ores is usually based on appearance, aura, and inner quality."

"Rough surfaces are mostly devoid of good stuff, while emerald-like ones might just be stones that have been weathered to look like they contain treasures, but they can’t possibly hide anything valuable inside."

After hearing this, Xu Wendong understood why these people mocked him.

But the Painting Saint didn’t stop Xu Wendong.

This shows that the Painting Saint had acknowledged this piece of stone.

In comparison, Xu Wendong is more willing to trust the Painting Saint, who has lived for a long time and experienced more than anyone present.

In terms of experience, no one can surpass the Painting Saint.

"I’m going with this one." Xu Wendong said calmly, clearly having no intention of changing his target.

"Brother Xu, are you sure you don’t want to reconsider?"

The sisters Ying Youwei and Ying Youlu started persuading again. They actually didn’t want Xu Wendong to suffer a loss, so they signaled the Vice Pavilion Master to stop Xu Wendong.

But Xu Wendong shook his head.

"No need to reconsider. I’m choosing this one. Where’s your stone opener? Hurry up and open it for me."

Xu Wendong said calmly, and at this point, the Vice Pavilion Master was at a loss.

This is someone brought by their family’s eldest miss; undoubtedly, his identity is not ordinary, but the stone he chose is utterly ludicrous, and it’s evident that there is no material in it. Opening it now would certainly be embarrassing.

If Xu Wendong gets angry at that time, it won’t be easy for the Vice Pavilion Master to explain.

"Sir, are you really not going to reconsider?" the Vice Pavilion Master asked in confusion.

"Stop gibbering and open it for me."

It’s Xu Wendong’s first time opening a treasure ore, but his demeanor was entirely undaunted.

"Please bring the stone opener."

Seeing Xu Wendong’s determination, the Vice Pavilion Master had no choice but to comply, casting an apologetic glance at Ying Youwei and Ying Youlu before summoning the stone opener.

Stone openers typically have a lineage.

It’s often passed from father to son; each has their own unique technique. A skilled stone opener can perfectly extract the treasure hidden within a treasure ore.

Upon arriving, the Ying Family’s stone opener scrutinized the treasure ore chosen by Xu Wendong.

"Who picked this stone?"

The stone opener asked, visibly surprised.

"It was me." Xu Wendong replied immediately.

"Sir, this stone definitely has nothing valuable inside. I advise you not to open it." The stone opener said disdainfully.

He was the most capable and experienced stone opener at the Netherworld Pavilion, typically only invited to open highly valuable treasure ores.

Now, the emerald-like stone obviously contains nothing, yet it’s worthy of his skill?

"Just open it, why are you babbling?"

Xu Wendong snapped.

"Haha, this kid really is stubborn, seems like he hasn’t learned his lesson yet."

"Stone gambling can make you rich with one cut or poor with another. This kid will probably waste thirty thousand Nether Crystals."

"Maybe he’s just loaded and casually throws away thirty thousand Nether Crystals just to see some waterworks."

The crowd began to mock, their expressions growing more derisive.

Ying Youwei and Ying Youlu were a bit displeased; how dare these people mock their man.

"Hey, just open it already, why are you talking so much!"

Ying Youwei approached, hands on her hips.

At this moment, a young noble approached.

Dressed in purple, he walked up to Ying Youlu with a smile. "Youlu, what are you doing here?"

"Huang Baishan?" Ying Youlu glanced at him, immediately rejecting him.

Besides the Ying Family, Black Tiger City also had some notable families, including the Huang Family.

Of course, the Huang Family didn’t compare to the Ying Family.

So, Huang Baishan, the eldest of the Huang Family, had been pursuing Ying Youlu, hoping to marry into the Ying Family. Once the families were allied, they’d integrate with the Ying Family, securing a brighter future.

"Youlu, did you lure this fool from elsewhere? How could he be so dumb?"

"This emerald-like treasure ore is obviously scrap, yet he’s going to cut it, truly senseless."

Huang Baishan laughed, attempting to showcase himself in front of Ying Youlu.

He, after all, had quite a knowledge of treasure ores.

"What are you talking about?" Ying Youlu said, displeased, clutching Xu Wendong’s arm and glaring at Huang Baishan disdainfully.

"Brother Xu always has a keen eye; if he said the treasure ore has material, then it does. I trust Brother Xu."

With that, Ying Youlu even leaned closer to Xu Wendong.

Her figures provocatively pressed against Xu Wendong’s arm, a sight that made Huang Baishan drool.

If she would press against him like that, he’d gladly give up ten years of his life.

But quickly, Huang Baishan grew envious.

What’s Xu Wendong’s background? He looked rather ordinary, yet Ying Youlu treated him like that?

"Humph, what if he can’t find anything inside?"

Huang Baishan huffed in disdain, suddenly jealous of Xu Wendong.

"And what will you do?" Xu Wendong asked indifferently, surprised someone jumped out seeking trouble.

Truthfully, Xu Wendong wasn’t entirely confident, but he trusted the Painting Saint not to trick him.

Earlier, when he chose this treasure ore, the Painting Saint did not stop him, indicating this piece was profitable.

"I’m not doing anything; I’m just saying that someone with no vision should keep away from Youlu."

"Young man, I’m the eldest of the Huang Family, Huang Baishan. If you were smart, you’d leave quickly, don’t force me to beat you."

Finishing his words, Huang Baishan showed disdain.

He looked at Xu Wendong as if he were trash.

Upon revealing his cultivation level, he was at the Ninth Level of Tongyou Realm.

Xu Wendong raised an eyebrow. The eldest of the Huang Family was indeed formidable, possessing power comparable to Duan Yuan’s?

If this man went to the Heavenly Nether Sect, he’d probably become the top talent.

But soon enough, Xu Wendong noticed the man’s aura was weak. Although his realm was high, seemingly his strength lagged behind.

Xu Wendong smirked slightly and said with a grin, "I’m not leaving, and Youlu won’t leave me."

"What can you do?"

Xu Wendong raised his head, glaring at Huang Baishan.

Could a small-town good-for-nothing dare challenge him?

Xu Wendong was someone even the Imperial Family of the Da Yin Dynasty wouldn’t dare challenge.

"Brat, are you seeking death?"

Huang Baishan shouted in anger just as the stone opener began cutting the emerald-like treasure ore.
