High Martial Arts: Becoming a Liver Master

"Let's forget it. We've used all our allowance to buy cultivation resources. We need to be more careful with it."

Chen Mo shook his head and refused, "Besides, none of these stones suit my taste."

"Mengxue, let's go look at other places."

"Okay, sure." Li Mengxue nodded slightly.

Seeing the two were about to leave, the stall owner immediately stood up, waved to them, and shouted louder:

"Hey, hey, don't go! If you don't like the stones on the street stall, I have other stones. Surely you'll find one you like?"

Chen Mo and his companion, who had just turned around, turned back to look at the stall owner upon hearing this.

"You have other stones? Why didn't you take them out?"

"Hehe..." The stall owner chuckled awkwardly. How could he possibly tell the truth? After all, the stones on the ground were all used to scam people.

"There's no other way; our stall is full, there's nowhere else to put it. Besides, the other stones are a bit pricey. I don't know if you have enough pocket money?"

Chen Mo did not expose his lie. He had just used his mental senses to perceive the stones and discovered that the stones on the stall had all been opened and then glued together with other adhesives.

In short, it's a counterfeit product.

Martial artists below the level of Grand Martial Master, unless they are psychic martial artists, are basically unable to tell the difference between a real stone and a fake one.

So it's used to scam people, and the effect is amazing.

This vendor has been setting up his stall here for quite some time now. Since he hasn't been caught, it means that the management is turning a blind eye to his actions.

Therefore, Chen Mo did not expose him.

"If it's good stuff, price doesn't matter."

Li Mengxue said it casually.

Upon hearing this, the stall owner's eyes lit up.

It really is a big fat sheep.

The stall owner then put away the large stone next to him and put out 10 new stones.

Ten stones are arranged in two rows, five large and five small.

"This is all my treasures; there are definitely some good things in it. Take your pick and look around."

"The small pieces cost 20 each, while the large pieces cost 50 each."

"Let's see if we can try it out first."

Chen Mo discovered that three of the ten stones were large, three were small, and the rest were fake.

Genuine stones do indeed have a thin film inside, which prevents spiritual exploration.

He was about to get his hands on it and get a better feel for it.

"Of course you can, but be careful, you can't afford to bump or scratch it."

"I understand." Chen Mo nodded, then looked at Li Mengxue.

"Mengxue, you should take a look too."

"Um!"

Li Mengxue nodded slightly, bent down slightly, picked up the second small stone on the left, and examined it carefully.

Chen Mo then picked up the third large stone on the right and examined it carefully.

As soon as he got his hands on the stone, he channeled his mental energy into it and began to carefully sense it.

Mental energy penetrates the stone and reaches the inner membrane.

The membrane was soft. Chen Mo poked it with his mental power, but it bounced back and remained in its original state without breaking through the membrane.

He quickly understood what was going on.

It turned out that there was a small spatial array inside the stone, which sealed off the internal space and thus prevented mental probing.

This formation is the simplest spatial formation, but to those who don't understand formations, it's just a lock—a lock without a key.

of course.

If one comprehends the laws of space or possesses basic spatial power, one can easily understand the internal workings of an array.

Once the stone was cut open, the internal array was destroyed, the barrier was gone, and what was inside was revealed.

"This thing looks obviously man-made. Why would anyone make something like this? It feels like a blind box from a game."

"Could it be a prank by some unknown entity?"

Chen Mo was a little confused.

"Forget it, I'll find out what's going on once I'm stronger."

After figuring out how the stone blocked mental probes, Chen Mo could easily find out what was inside the stone.

Inside the stone in his hand was a mid-grade Yellow Rank spiritual herb, worth 10 yuan.

This stone costs 50 yuan, I'm losing a fortune.

He did not immediately put down the stone, but instead used his mental power to sense the remaining four stones.

There are two small stones, the contents of which are slightly more valuable. Buying them could earn you a profit of ten or twenty thousand. The other two large stones would result in a loss.

This stall owner is such a rip-off! Selling fake stones is one thing, but even selling real stones is a huge loss for him.

For martial artists who don't understand spatial power or spatial laws, opening these stones is purely a matter of luck.

Only then did Chen Mo understand why Li Mengxue's father, Li Yuntao, had also stumbled here.

Even a martial king, without comprehending the power of space, would stumble here.

Not to mention grandmasters.

When one comprehends a domain at the Martial King realm, it becomes possible to come into contact with the power of space.

Of course, it depends on luck.

Then Chen Mo put the stone down and looked at the stone in Li Mengxue's hand.

The stone in Li Mengxue's hand contained something quite good; a high-grade yellow-rank spiritual herb worth 20.

"Hey young man, why don't you look at the other stones?"

"These stones are all top-quality. Buying them is definitely a good deal. They might even yield pills that can enhance your strength."

"Let me tell you about a martial artist I met last time. I found a Martial Artist Advancement Pill here."

"Do you know about the Martial Artist Advancement Pill? It can allow a Martial Artist to advance one rank without any side effects."

"If you are a 9th-rank martial artist, taking one more Advancement Pill will allow you to immediately break through to the Martial Master level. It's worth millions."

The stall owner was still trying his best to sell, but Chen Mo remained unmoved.

I don't believe you for a second, you old geezer, you're awful.

I lost a fortune buying your stones.

Only a fool would do that.

After internally ranting for a while, Chen Mo finally spoke:

"Sorry, boss, none of them suit my taste."

The stall owner's face immediately fell.

Damn it, I've said so much, and you're not even a little bit tempted.

He couldn't understand why Chen Mo was so calm, even though he had already challenged him to the death.

Wouldn't a young martial artist be overjoyed to hear praise and immediately buy those stones?

"No, young man, let me tell you, my tongue is really good! You're so lucky, why don't you buy one?"

"I don't find any of the bosses I like."

Chen Mo waved his hand.

Just then, Li Mengxue finished her investigation and looked at Chen Mo:

"Chen Mo, I want to buy this stone."

"Hey bro, just say yes! Your girlfriend likes it so much, why not buy it? You're sure to get something good from it."

Before Chen Mo could speak, the stall owner immediately began to persuade him again.

"Alright, alright." Chen Mo pretended to be helpless and took out his phone to scan the QR code to pay.

Upon receiving the 10 yuan, the stall owner beamed with joy.

Then they started selling again:

"Hey beautiful, take a look at the other stones. There's bound to be something good inside. Your boyfriend likes you so much, if you find something good and give it to him, he'll be so happy."

Li Mengxue blushed slightly upon hearing this, but fortunately she was wearing a mask so no one else could see it.

She was happy, but she didn't spend money to buy other stones.

If Chen Mo didn't even like them, it means these stones weren't very valuable.

She certainly wouldn't waste money on this.

"No, thank you. One stone is enough; we don't have much pocket money left."

As she spoke, Li Mengxue put the stone into her spatial ring and pulled Chen Mo away.

The two had barely left when the stall owner couldn't help but smirk: "Young people are so easy to fool, I made 50,000 yuan!"
