"Third Sis, don't make a scene!" The male who was with her, scolded her .
"Second Big Bro, don't stop me!" That lady looked at Sima You Yue, saying, "If your stone really produces spirit stones with a value of at least two million middle ranked crystal stones, I will gladly give you double the amount of money! If you don't manage to do it… . If you don't manage to do it… you just need to give me a hundred thousand crystal stones!"
"Okay . " Sima You Yue nodded, and the two made their agreement .
"Third Sis, how could you let others . . . " Hu Ling wanted to stop her, but his younger sister would refuse to listen to him once she was in a stubborn mood . Despite this, he still couldn't let her act so wilfully .
"Second Big Bro, the person didn't reject me, so why are you so anxious!" Hu Fang Fang said with a smile . "Since we've agreed on it, you can begin cutting!"
When one was betting on stones, it was a good opportunity to gamble as well . This was a very common scene, so nobody was surprised . They just continued to watch things unfold with excitement . They wanted to see who would end up losing .
"Lord, how do you want to open it?" The master asked .
"Just cut through the centre!" Sima You Yue said .
"This… Lord, are you certain?" The master asked .
Usually, one would cut in slowly from the centre . This was because most spirit stones were in the centre or slightly off-center . If one cut through the centre, it was easy for one to ruin the spirit stone inside . Once it was broken, the spirit energy would leak out from the hole . Then, it would have to be used quickly and couldn't be kept for long . The spirit stone would no longer be worth as much .
It was rather rare for them to receive requests like hers, which were to cut through the centre .

"Since he told you to cut through the centre, you should just do it . " Hu Fang Fang said with a laugh, "In any case, it's a watermelon stone . It's no problem if you cut through the centre . "
The master felt that this made sense as well, so he followed Sima You Yue's instructions and cut the stone through the centre into two .
The two halves of the stone fell onto the ground, revealing the pure white stone .
"It's a white stone . " The people watching all saw the white stone, and were not surprised at all .
Hu Fang Fang saw the white stone and smiled self satisfactorily . She watched at Fatty Qu and the others raged .
"What are you anxious for? Don't you see how those two are calm and composed?" Wu Lingyu saw that they were fuming, so he commented lightly .
Even if they wanted to say that it was Sima You Yue's first time betting on stones, Third Mo had also remained silent the entire way . This proved that there was definitely no issue with the stone .
"Where do you want to cut next?" The master asked as he picked up one of the halves .
"Let me see . " Sima You Yue took the stone and looked . Then, she drew on the surface and said, "Cut this way . "
"Okay . "

The master retrieved the stone from her and cut like how she had shown him . The stone split in half away, and it was still a white stone .
"Here, grind it . " Sima You Yue took one of the halves and said .
You could cut or grind a stone . Most people began by cutting, then would choose to grind into the stone when they felt that a spirit stone was going to appear . They would slowly wear away the surface of the stone .
A short moment later, a few spirit stones the size of peanuts began to reveal themselves .
"They're really melon seeds . " The spectators said .
"How could you call these melon seeds . They're better than melon seeds . They're peanuts!" Hu Fang Fang mocked .
"Third Sis!" Hu Ling said with furrowed eyebrows . He was rather angry .
Hu Fang Fang gulped and didn't speak any more . However, she looked at Sima You Yue with a provocative gaze!
Sima You Yue kept the few emerald peanuts away, then gave the other small half to the master, saying, "Grind this too . "
"Ha ha ha, will you be able to grind out something worth two million?" Someone jeered .
Sima You Yue couldn't be bothered to deal with them as she handed the small half to the master . Then, she picked up the other half and inspected it closely .

"I'll help you open it . " Third Mo walked over and said .
"Okay . " Sima You Yue knew that Third Mo wouldn't say things lightly . Since he had spoken, that meant it was rather difficult to open . That must mean that the item inside had caught his interest .
Third Mo took that piece of stone and placed it on the low desk . Then, he took out a small knife and used his hands to feel it . After which, he used the knife and followed along a vein, slicing it gently . A piece of the stone's surface was peeled off .
Everyone watched and saw that he was truly an expert . The piece of stone that had drifted down didn't look like it was cut off with a knife at all .
Without knowing it, everyone was completely focused on him . Even the master had stopped working and was focused on Third Mo .
Third Mo peeled off a single layer of the stone and the stone that was the size of a person's fist had gradually become the size of a chicken egg .
Third Mo looked at Sima You Yue, and she understood what he meant . She said rather excitedly, "Is it coming out?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
Third Mo nodded, then took out something used to polish the stone . He began to wear away the remaining surface of the stone lightly, and every exertion was even . Under his grinding, a spirit stone that was the size of a chicken egg appeared in front of everyone .
Third Mo took out a wet cloth, lightly wiping away the surface of the spirit stone . This allowed everyone to see the spirit stone carefully .
"Guys, look! There's actually a golden centre!" Someone cried out .
"This is a stone in a stone!"
"It's really a stone in a stone! The core is golden, and it's about the size of a chicken egg . It's pretty highly ranked!"
"A stone in a stone that is the size of a lychee is worth a few hundreds of thousands . This one is about the size of a chicken egg, and the inside is even golden in colour . It should be worth three to four hundred thousand!"
"Sss-"
Everyone on site could not help but to suck in a breath . They never thought that this thing would be worth so much money!
"You Yue, you've chosen a good one!" Third Mo placed the spirit stone into Sima You Yue's hands . He was happy that he was able to cut out a spirit stone like this .
Sima You Yue took the spirit stone happily and even waved at Hu Fang Fang, "I'm really sorry that I won the bet this time! In a moment, I'll get someone to help me appraise it . Thank you, Lady Hu for your generosity . Master, help me grind out the remaining bit of stone . Who knows, I might be able to get out a few more melon seeds, oh no, I mean peanuts!"
Hu Fang Fang's face was turning green . This was clearly giving her a few resounding slaps on her face . However, under everyone's watchful eye, she couldn't just shrug this off .
Very quickly, the remaining bit was also grinded . There were a total of five melon seeds, When added together, they were worth around one thousand middle ranked crystals .
The stone pavilion had their own appraisal masters who could ascertain the value of a spirit stone that was cut out . A short moment later, an elderly who appeared otherworldly walked out from the back of the courtyard . He had specially come to appraise Sima You Yue's stone .
"It's rare to see such a big stone within a stone . It's even golden at its core . My elderly self can feel a kind of boundless energy radiating from its golden core . Based on my experience, this stone is worth at least three hundred and fifty thousand middle ranked crystal stones . "
Three hundred and fifty thousand . Double that, was seven hundred thousand stones . Hu Fang Fang's heart hurt when she thought of how she had lost seven hundred thousand stones in a short moment .
"Wait a minute, there's still this . I have to bother you to give me an appraisal . These are worth a bit as well, aren't they?" Sima You Yue opened her hands and there were around ten spirit stones that were the size of melon seeds .
Everyone saw that she had truly taken the melon seeds out for appraisal and couldn't help but burst into laughter .
