Chapter 410: Gambling on Stones

"Hey! Stoic guy, what is stone gambling? Why is that bald guy placing three broken stones over there? Are those things really valuable?" Qing'er asked Liu Hun curiously.

Liu Hun nodded and replied, "These stones aren't ordinary; if you're lucky, cutting them open might reveal jade or jadeite inside."

"Really? Don't lie to me! If broken stones can reveal jadeite when cut open, wouldn't everyone just go to the riverbank and start cutting stones? Who'd need to work then?" Qing'er simply didn't believe Liu Hun's explanation.

Liu Hun continued to explain, "These stones all come from specific sources; only stones from those sources can yield jadeite when split. It's like the saying, 'oranges grown in the south are sweet, while those grown in the north are bitter,' although the leaves are similar, the tastes are different. It's the same principle."
