to her, Bai Xiaosheng was simply too arrogant and overconfident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Yiran was taken aback, then laughed, but it was a mocking sneer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did Bai Xiaosheng think divining stone was as easy as picking melons?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, since Bai insists he’s so confident, please, go ahead!” Sun Yiran said with a proud smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you can reveal a piece of high-quality material, I’m willing to pay ten times its market value to buy it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The place was filled with raw stones, but those that could be cut to reveal good material were few!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The owners of each stall would display what “appeared to be top-notch,” and then affix steep prices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stone gambling is a bet for enthusiasts, but for businessmen, it’s definitely a way to earn money; the ones that could assuredly reveal good material would never be used for gambling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most people who gambled on stones relied on self-taught appraisal skills, which was nearly indistinguishable from trusting to luck—a fact even experts had hard time disputing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Yiran may have been young, but having started at eight and immersed for over a decade, he had acquired what seemed like unfathomable skill in stone divining, thanks to his old man’s hands-on teaching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t believe Bai Xiaosheng could luck into good material.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he did, he was willing to spend ten times the market value for that stroke of fortune!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Yiran’s magnanimous and dominant attitude earned loud cheers from the crowd!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng smiled without a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A simplified barehanded stone divining, and they get this excited?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should I show them what it’s like to divine with just a glance?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng suddenly found the whole situation amusing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over there, Xie Youxin was beaming with joy, having just received his appraisal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The choice piece that Sun Yiran had selected for him was valued at four hundred thousand just for the material itself!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once processed into a finished product, its value would be astonishing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, hearing Sun Yiran’s declaration of ten times the market value, he couldn’t help but say to Sun Tianli in admiration, “Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yiran truly is generous…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, that also depends on how lucky this Bai Xiaosheng is,” joked Sun Tianli.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If he uncovers something worth a hundred or so yuan, even tenfold is only a thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does that count as money?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them laughed heartily, and the laughter echoed all around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng stepped forward, brushing past Sun Yiran as he walked onto the field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The noise around them fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many eyes eagerly fixed on him, not in hopes of witnessing a miracle but waiting to see Bai Xiaosheng embarrass himself and become the subject of grand mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of “anticipation” swept through the venue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze swept across the raw stones on the table, and with an impassive air, he instructed Red Lotus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Scan these raw stones, and filter out one for me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood, Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initiating analysis of cortex color and texture…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initiating cut surface pattern analysis…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initiating fracture analysis…” Red Lotus began to issue a sequence of sounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the high-speed operation of Red Lotus, the heat generated made Bai Xiaosheng’s brain truly “overheat,” and his arrogance soared with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sun Yiran, just watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will beat you with nothing but my eyes!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1388,"2026-06-05T17:42:23.583Z",1,"novelbin.me","8c986656e05e5c113e625116dd058fe1703a1692d75805b08b1f0b5749d5edeb","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-148","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-146",2500,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finheritance-of-two-trillion-cover.jpg"]
