Stone-Pointing Prodigy Wang Tieniu!

When Wang Tieniu was summoned, he still had that simple, honest look.

When Qin Xiangqian taught him the Stone-Pointing Technique, Tieniu didn't even glance at it before saying, "Senior Brother Xinghe, don't worry, I'll definitely arrange this matter perfectly for you."

What's arranged so clearly?

Qin Xiangqian cried...

Brother... I'll call you brother now, can you understand the Stone-Pointing Technique?

"Tieniu! Your senior brother has high hopes for you!" Chu Xinghe said with a serious expression.

Wang Tieniu left with tears in his eyes.

However, the news that Wang Tieniu had been chosen by Senior Brother Xinghe spread quickly throughout the entire spirit mine.

Everyone's first reaction upon hearing this news was, "That's ridiculous!"

But soon everyone thought of Senior Brother Xinghe, who did what others dared not do and thought what others dared not think, and everyone was puzzled!

Senior Brother Xinghe could not possibly be mistaken.

Wang Tieniu definitely has a hidden talent for turning stones into gems!

Compared to the certainty of the people at the Vast Heaven Sect's spirit mine, the outside world almost laughed their heads off when they heard the news.

"Could this Chu Xinghe be a spy infiltrated into the Vast Heaven Sect?"

"I also think it's possible. Buying the Tianyi Spirit Mine could be considered youthful folly, and later on, you could say he was benevolent. But this Wang Tieniu... I've heard of him."

"This guy is quite famous. Not only is he not very bright, but his luck is also extremely bad. For someone like him to learn the Stone-Pointing Technique... I think it's just a case of birds of a feather flocking together."

"Birds of a feather flock together, that's true. This Chu Xinghe is a complete idiot."

The other jokes were alright, but the Shi Clan almost laughed themselves silly.

It's important to understand that the Shi Clan was under pressure to break their contract with the Vast Heaven Sect.

That's the Vast Heaven Sect... the number one sect in the world! Who knows what they might do if they were to fly into a rage?

The Shi Clan had prepared for any possible counterattack from the Vast Heaven Sect.

However, instead of the Vast Heaven Sect's counterattack, they received news that the Vast Heaven Sect itself planned to train Stone Masters.

When the Shi Clan first heard the news, they were genuinely worried for a moment.

After all, that's the Vast Heaven Sect. Could it be that the Vast Heaven Sect has really found a genius with extraordinary talent?

The Shi Clan also sent people to inquire from all sides, but before they could find out anything, rumors spread that the chosen person was Wang Tieniu?

Are you kidding me?

This isn't just a matter of whether Chu Xinghe is crazy or not; this guy is a complete idiot, isn't he?

Why did the Vast Heaven Sect send an idiot here?

Has the Vast Heaven Sect truly fallen into decline?

Chu Xinghe's series of actions truly left countless viewers speechless and dumbfounded.

Everything before was fine, but what was the idea behind training Wang Tieniu?

Nurturing a genius from scratch is already extremely difficult; what is this Wang Tieniu?

Now everyone was convinced that the Vast Heaven Sect had truly messed up.

Martial Emperor City was located in Spirit City's garrison. After hearing the news, Zheng Yu was stunned for a full half minute.

Although he didn't know who Wang Tieniu was, the other members of the Martial Emperor City Chamber of Commerce told him a thing or two.

In everyone's eyes, he was a fool, and a fool with extremely bad luck.

What did Chu Xinghe mean by choosing such a fool?

"Could it be that Senior Brother Xinghe was really mistaken?"

"No! Senior Brother Xinghe is no ordinary person. Not only is his strength astonishing, but he is also meticulous in his thinking. If Wang Tieniu were a normal person, then it's possible that Senior Brother Xinghe chose the wrong person. But Wang Tieniu is considered a fool by everyone and is plagued by bad luck. There's no reason why Senior Brother Xinghe wouldn't know this. Therefore... Senior Brother Xinghe's actions must have extraordinary significance."

"What exactly is Senior Brother Xinghe considering...? I can't figure it out... I really can't figure it out!"

"Any news about the small spirit mine?" Zheng Yu asked the manager.

"We've been working overtime to collect the materials, but all we're getting so far is waste rock," the manager said with a worried expression.

"Don't rush, keep digging. Chu Xinghe wouldn't make a fuss without reason."

"Yes!"

The steward accepted the order and left.

In the following days, the saying that Chu Xinghe was a complete idiot resounded throughout the entire Spirit City, and the various sects no longer held back, even bringing it up openly.

"It's one thing if I think Chu Xinghe is a complete idiot, but the Vast Heaven Sect is truly in decline. This disciple is acting so recklessly outside, and we don't even lift a finger. It's incomprehensible."

"Shh... I heard... that Chu Xinghe is Gu Mingchao's illegitimate son."

"Really?"

"Think about it yourself!"

"Tsk tsk... that's interesting..."

The topic of Chu Xinghe being Gu Mingchao's illegitimate son has also spread, and everyone is waiting and watching to see how Vast Heaven Sect will back down this time.

You think you're the number one sect in the world? Your disciples act recklessly, and the sect doesn't care. In the end, you've angered the whole world. I ask you, do you still have any shame about being the number one sect in the world?

On this day, at Tianyi Spirit Mine.

Numerous energetic miners worked diligently at Tianyi Spirit Mine.

"Second brother, we've been digging for so many days, and all we've got is waste rock. This mine is probably really finished."

"Bullshit! If you spout any more nonsense, I'll tear your mouth off! This place was personally chosen by Senior Brother Xinghe, how could it be wrong? Senior Brother Xinghe has discerning eyes; we just haven't found the right spot yet."

"Excellent! I don't need to say more about how Senior Brother Xinghe has treated us. Everyone, give it your all! Even if we have to dig through this spirit mine, we must get some spirit stones out!"

"Alright! Let's all give it our all!"

"Spirit ore has been found here!" A shout suddenly came from afar, and many people quickly gathered around.

A miner disciple dug through a pile of waste rock, and behind it, a spirit stone ore shimmered with a faint light.

"A flash of inspiration... it's a flash of inspiration!"

Only the raw stones of high-grade spirit stones can possibly have a faint glow!

"We've found it! We've really found it! Go report it immediately!"

The news quickly reached Qin Xiangqian, who was so excited that Qin Xiangqian rushed over without even reporting to Chu Xinghe, but he was soon disappointed.

Because apart from this faintly glowing rough stone, there are only waste stones behind it.

Although a high-grade spirit stone was produced, it was still not enough to change the fate of Tianyi Spirit Mine.

"Let's keep digging! I refuse to believe it!"

"Yes, yes! Keep digging! It's definitely hidden deeper!"

The miners were not discouraged at all, but Qin Xiangqian sighed helplessly. Had Senior Brother Xinghe really misjudged him?

But just as he was pondering this, his deputy delivered news that nearly made Qin Xiangqian spit blood.

"President, Wang Tieniu has mastered the Stone-Pointing Technique and says he needs some raw stones to practice."

"What the hell?" Qin Xiangqian was dumbfounded.

Wang Tieniu can master the Stone-Pointing Technique? You're kidding me.

They led their men straight to Wang Tieniu's place, and from a distance they could see Wang Tieniu standing in the courtyard.

"Guild Master, I've mastered the Stone-Pointing Technique. Could you give me some spirit stones so I can try it out?"

"Tieniu Niu... are you sure you're not joking with me?"

"I never lie," Wang Tieniu said solemnly.

Qin Xiangqian didn't say much, and directly arranged for someone to fetch the raw stones, making sure to get the lowest quality ones so as not to waste them.

Soon, the raw stone was delivered to Tieniu, and Qin Xiangqian signaled to Tieniu that they could begin.

Without wasting any words, Tieniu took a few steps to the raw stone. A flash of spiritual light appeared in his hand, truly a stone-turning technique. When the light landed on the raw stone, it trembled slightly, and its outer skin began to peel off.

The next second, a low-grade spirit stone appeared in front of everyone.

Silence... At this moment, the entire courtyard was silent, and everyone stared wide-eyed at the spirit stone and the Tieniu.

Turning stone into gold... it was a success? Really a success?

Does Wang Tieniu really have a talent for turning stones into stones? And not just any ordinary talent, considering Wang Tieniu only acquired the Stone-Pointing Technique a few days ago?

Without any master's guidance, and relying solely on his own understanding of the Stone-Pointing Technique into Stone-Pointing Technique, this guy actually mastered it? This isn't just outrageous, it's unbelievable!

Tieniu continued his work, and soon all the raw stones were revealed by Tieniu.

When Tieniu finished doing all this, Qin Xiangqian was stunned again.

What the heck? Tieniu's way too fast, isn't it?

Qin Xiangqian knew that most alchemists were very slow at alchemy, since alchemy also consumed resources.

Qin Xiangqian had never heard of or seen anything Tieniu's speed.

Just as Qin Xiangqian was stunned by Tieniu's speed, his deputy spoke up.

"President... this drop rate seems a bit high."

Stone yield rate?

There's a concept of "stone-changing" in the art of finding stones, so why do so many people seek out Shi Clan for this service?

Because the Shi Clan's stone yield rate is around 70%, this means that at most 30% of the spirit stones handled by the Shi Clan will be lost, and 70% will be retained.

That's considered the highest.

But looking at Tieniu now... his stone-picking rate...

It seems to be about 50%?

A 50% stone yield rate might sound far inferior to that of the Shi Clan, but Qin Xiangqian knew that a 70% stone yield rate referred to the skill level of the Shi Clan's master stone connoisseurs.

Every one of those people grew up learning the Stone-Pointing Technique.

But what about Tieniu Niu? He's only been self-studying for a few days now.

Previously, Shi Zhongtian, the most outstanding disciple of the Shi Clan, claimed that he achieved a 30% success rate in his first attempt at finding a gem. As a result, the Shi Clan was practically posting announcements all over the world to tell everyone that they had produced a peerless genius.

If you can get even 10% or 50% of stones on your first try, you're considered a prodigy.

But Tieniu...

Qin Xiangqian Tieniu had changed. This wasn't Tieniu; this was Jin Niu!

"President, why are you looking at me like that! I know the stone drop rate. My stone drop rate is only 50%, which is embarrassing for Senior Brother Xinghe. But don't worry, I've done some research. As long as I practice for a few more days, reaching a stone drop rate of 90% shouldn't be a problem. A 100% stone drop rate is more difficult; I'll need to practice for a few more years to achieve that."

After Tieniu Niu spoke, the entire room fell silent.

People might believe others when they brag, but whatever Tieniu says is absolutely true!

He said he could definitely achieve 90%, and he also said he could definitely complete the legendary 100%!

Qin Xiangqian felt his blood pressure was a little high.

Actually, it wasn't just him; everyone in the courtyard who came after hearing the news had slightly elevated blood pressure...

Especially Chu Xinghe, who rushed over upon hearing the news, overheard Tieniu's words, and his vision went black; he almost died...
