Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

Li Lan first took a general look around. The Huangzihao mining area covered an area as large as seven or eight football fields. It was an open space filled with raw stones for people to choose from, and there were many people coming and going to gamble on stones.

There were elderly men with white hair, holding ancient mirrors and repeatedly examining an old stone, and several middle-aged men, picking up a stone and repeatedly patting it, listening to the sound to identify its origin... The methods were varied and endless.

Ahead, a group of people had gathered, and it seemed quite lively. Li Lan walked over and saw several old men discussing something around a few rough stones.

A plump old man said, "Among these yellow-branded stones, the finest are these three raw stones. This wrinkled old stone clearly contains fragments of divine essence; it must be extraordinary. Brothers, how about we team up and take it on?"

A thin old man beside him shook his head repeatedly: "If there were a divine source inside, why would we have waited until now? I think this reclining ox stone is the best option. At the very least, it can yield a different kind of source, so we won't lose money!"

"If we're going to gamble on stones, let's go big! We've been eyeing these stones for years, what are we waiting for?" the fat old man shouted.

"What do you know? Taking action is taking action. You have to distinguish between the two, or you'll make a mistake!"

After listening for a while, Li Lan roughly understood that the two old men, one fat and one thin, were famous gamblers in this mine. They had already unearthed quite a few valuable source stones, so their appearance attracted everyone's attention.

But neither of them are Genji!

While watching the excitement, Li Lan activated his spiritual eye. As soon as he opened his spiritual eye, he saw that the raw stones had different auras. Although the wrinkled old stone was only the size of a human head, it had an aura that was condensed inside, and there must be a source of immortality in it, but the level was hard to determine. Although the reclining ox stone was large and had flowing light, it was scattered and not condensed. Even if it had a source, its value was probably not high.

This was just Li Lan's initial assessment. He wasn't in a hurry, but instead turned around and randomly found an area with fewer people.

He had already identified two rough stones, but he was acting strangely. He took out a lucky coin, pretended to worship it, and then tossed the lucky coin into the air. He didn't take the ones that landed face down. When the coins landed on the two rough stones he had identified, he used a little force and the lucky coin landed face up!

"Hey buddy, what kind of technique are you using?"

Two young men nearby laughed when they saw this.

"Other people gamble on stones using skill, buddy, are you relying on luck?"

The two of them spoke.

But Li Lan said seriously, "Thank you for reminding me, brothers. However, these copper coins were given to me by the 33rd generation successor of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, True Man Duan Tian. They are sure to be effective!"

After saying that, he spoke directly:

"I'll take both of these rough stones!"

Immediately, some people from the mining area stepped forward and said, "The two raw stones weigh a total of sixty catties, and a total of six hundred cubic meters of high-grade spirit stones are needed!"

One pound of raw stone is worth ten high-grade spirit stones!

Li Lan couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache!

But this price is normal. Spirit stones are only useful to cultivators below the Immortal Path, while Immortal Source is something that Immortals crave. The value of the two is naturally worlds apart.

One pound of ordinary immortal essence is worth a thousand high-grade spirit stones!

High-level immortal sources, such as heterogeneous sources, cannot be bought with spirit stones at all. They can only be exchanged with immortal sources, and even then, there is no guarantee that anyone will be willing to sell them. In many cases, they are bartered!

For example, in this mining area, ordinary raw stones can be purchased with spirit stones, but slightly better raw stones are all priced separately with immortal essence!

Fortunately, during his time in the Sinful State, he obtained a thousand pieces of Immortal Essence, a thousand units of high-grade spirit stones, and a hundred immortal herbs from the Li family, so he was still able to support himself.

Li Lan readily handed over the spirit stones.

"Damn, buddy, why won't you listen to advice?"

"What divine calculation? That old guy is a fraud, a conman who specializes in swindling and cheating!"

Both of them shook their heads.
