Crimson Cloud Sect's Stone Gambling Hall

The hall for stone gambling had a different structure from the auction hall. Unlike the floor-separated private rooms and public row seats, there are mostly no seats in this hall. Instead, there is an automatic conveyor belt, and on the belt are various-size rough stones. The rotation of the conveyor belt was extremely slow. It would allow one to check on the stone and return it on the belt if the customer didn't end up liking it.

At the entrance of the hall, there is a layer of mini baskets and push carts. The clients can take either of the two to place the stone they have chosen. A digital and wireless wrist watch-like tool will be provided to customers interested in buying stone. The use of this digital watch is to list the stones the customers had chosen, which will be shown at the cashier for payment.

Each stone had different prices. Once the customer is interested in a stone, the price will flash in hologram form in front of the buyer. Only when the buyer decided to buy the stone could he or she press the yes button to add the stone to the buyer's list.

In the Stone Ore Gambling Hall, there are certain rules that must be followed.

1. The customer who first grabbed a stone will have a priority in buying the stone. If another person is interested in it, a mini-auction for the stone between the two clients will be held. Intentionally raising the price without paying will lead to one being banned from entering the Crimson Cloud Hall.

2. Clients aren't allowed to steal someone's stone. This is a forbidden action, and the hall will be inclined to kick you out.

3. Raw stones can only be cut inside the hall. The hall had the choice to take it away if this rule was not followed.

4. There are two ways to take someone else's stone if you are interested. First, win the mini-auction, and second, you can initiate a stone gambling competition where each side will send a representative to the duel.

Stone Gambling Competition is a simple gambling game that measures a stone gambler's ability to observe or gauge whether a stone ore has a raw gemstone inside. After all, not all raw stone ore had gemstones inside; most of it was empty. So, it's based on the skills of a client as to whether he or she would be lucky to get a stone ore with raw gemstones inside.

The rules are simple. Both players are to choose three raw stones in the hall. It would be cut and compared, one at a time. Raw gemstones have classifications. The most common ones are jade with an emerald hue. The rare ones are glass-type. Each color represents an element. Blue is for water, yellow is for earth, red is for fire, violet is thunder, green is wind, black is for darkness, white is a non-element, and gold is holy.

Before entering the hall, to protect the privacy of the Divine Doctor, Lin Chiyu prepared a veil and a half mask for the ladies and Taiyang. A pure white veil hung on Yue Xuexia's face. With only her eyes exposed, she now looks more mysterious yet charming, even with half of her face hidden.
