Cutting the Stone! An Eighteenth-Rank Immortal Stone! Sun Divine Stone!
"Brother Jiantian!"
A tall and strong figure appeared, dressed simply, but exuding a heroic and extraordinary aura between his brows.
Beidou Jiantian didn't hear the other person's voice at all, so he completely ignored him.
"Brother Jiantian? Why are you blindfolded, Brother Jiantian!"
The latter continued speaking, approaching Beidou Jiantian with a face full of curiosity.
Who are you?
Beidou Jiantian still didn't hear, but Li Shanshi couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
"Oh, I am Feng Shaoyu, a disciple of the Feng Family in the North Immortal Realm, and a close friend of Beidou Jiantian," the latter said with a smile, but quickly looked at Beidou Jiantian curiously and asked, "Brother Jiantian, what's wrong?"
He was very curious because Beidou Jiantian completely ignored him.
"Feng Shaoyu?"
Li Shanshi frowned slightly, but quickly realized who the other party was. He then spoke and explained the situation of Beidou Jiantian in a few words.
"So that's how it is! Brother Jiantian truly lives up to his reputation as Dragon and Phoenix among men. I never imagined that he would seal his Divine Sense in order to learn the supreme swordsmanship. He is a role model for us all. I admire him greatly!"
Feng Shaoyu was deeply moved, then looked at everyone and said, "Are you all here to participate in the Stone Appraisal Meet? Since you are friends of Brother Jiantian, you are also my friends, Feng Shaoyu. I am Ninth-Rank Stone Appraisal Master and I am willing to appraise stones for you for free. But let me make it clear in advance that if a treasure is appraised, I will only take 30% of the proceeds."
Feng Shaoyu said this, while appearing very enthusiastic.
For a moment, everyone fell silent, unsure how to respond.
But at that moment, Beidou Jiantian's voice rang out.
"Is this the Stone Appraisal Meet? Alas, it's a pity that my eyes are blinded, and I can't exert half of my strength. But even with half my strength, I can definitely help you fellow Daoists appraise top-grade ancient stones. However, it's even more a pity that my good friend Feng Shaoyu is not here. If he were here, the two of us could join forces, and this Stone Appraisal Meet would be a treasure-giving event for us."
Beidou Jiantian said with utmost seriousness.
Upon hearing this, Feng Shaoyu immediately nodded and said, "Brother Jiantian is absolutely right. In that case, I will reluctantly come out of the mountains and make a trip for you all."
Feng Shaoyu said this, then came to Beidou Jiantian's side and helped him up. Li Shanshi also put him down. He looked at the two of them with some strangeness, wanting to say something, but not knowing what to say.
"Brother Jiantian! Brother Jiantian!"
Feng Shaoyu spoke, but found that Beidou Jiantian was indeed neither able to see nor hear. After realizing that someone else was helping him, Beidou Jiantian patted Feng Shaoyu's shoulder and said, "Fellow Daoist, thank you for your trouble. Don't worry, I will definitely help you choose a good ancient stone later. Come on, tell me, you like treasures, and I will help you choose one."
Beidou Jiantian's confidence was so inexplicable that everyone was truly at a loss for words.
But that's alright, after all, Li Shanshi rich, and he should be able to afford a little bit of money.
"Brother Li, let's be cautious and go check out Xiaoshifang first."
However, Supreme Mysterious Ji felt that there was something wrong with these two guys, so he used his Divine Sense to tell Li Shanshi to pay attention.
"Good!"
Li Shanshi nodded without saying much, and then stepped into the Shifang Market.
Various stalls are set up on both sides, with ancient stones exuding the aura of time casually placed, and they are strange and unusual, some big and some small, some round and some square.
Those who can display ancient stones at the True Dragon Meet are not ordinary cultivators, and the ancient stones are not fake. No one would dare to cheat here. However, whether there are treasures inside the ancient stones is hard to say.
"This ancient stone is quite nice, how much is it, shopkeeper?"
Among the group, Supreme Mysterious took a fancy to an ancient stone. This ancient stone weighed a thousand catties, was perfectly square, and had some patterns on it, so it did look like it contained something.
"Immortal, this ancient stone is one I've treasured for many years. It was mined from the Crimson Moon Mining Area and I guarantee it's genuine. Enough said, since you've asked about the price, it must be fate. One million low-grade immortal stones, you can take it."
The stall owner immediately asked for one million low-grade immortal stones.
As soon as the price was mentioned, Tianji Zi's voice rang out.
"One million low-grade immortal stones? My friend, you're in the same line of work as me, aren't you?"
Tianji Zi was astonished. Although he had been living a life of luxury with Li Shanshi for the past two years, it did not affect his stingy nature. What was the concept of one million low-grade immortal stones?
That's enough to buy a Golden Immortal Artifact. If he had a million low-grade immortal stones when he ascended to immortality, would he be in such a miserable state?
"Isn't this just a broken rock?" Tianji Zi was shocked.
"My lord, what do you mean by that? Are you also a dealer in ancient stones?"
The stall owner was a little confused, not knowing what Tianji Zi meant by that.
"No, I committed robbery."
Tianji Zi shook his head and said seriously.
Stall owner. "
The Supreme Mysterious: "
No one knew what to say.
"Okay, this one will do."
Supreme Mysterious was very carefree; he simply tossed over Treasure Note worth a million low-grade immortal stones and then bought the ancient stone.
"Thank you, Immortal! Immortal, would you like me to cut the stone for you? It's free."
The stall owner spoke up.
Supreme Mysterious nodded. He didn't know how to cut stone either, so he let the expert do it.
"Alright, Immortal, you can watch out, I guarantee the goods will be delivered."
That's what the other person said, and everyone gathered around to see.
One million low-grade immortal stones was nothing to Supreme Mysterious. Apart from Tianji Zi feeling a pang of heartache, the others were completely unmoved.
Lu Changsheng also looked at the other party with curiosity. After all, it was his first time seeing a stone being cut, so he was naturally very interested. Even in his previous life, Lu Changsheng had only heard of this kind of stone gambling, but had never seen it before.
Soon, the stall owner took out a stone-cutting knife and made the first cut on the left side of the ancient stone, about one-tenth of its width.
The stone-cutting process is the most exciting part of gambling on stones, so the stall was already surrounded by many cultivators, making it completely packed.
Make the first cut.
The Stone Skin has peeled off, revealing a pale gray interior, but there are no treasures inside.
"Continue."
Supreme Mysterious spoke, he wasn't nervous at all; he just found it fun. After all, one million low-grade immortal stones were really not expensive for him. Whether he got anything or not, it was just for fun.
"Good!"
Without saying a word, the stall owner made another cut, the same width, but still nothing.
The third cut!
The fourth cut!
The fifth cut!
Half of the stone had been cut away, but nothing came out, and various sounds arose.
"Looks like it's gone."
"One million low-grade immortal stones, just thrown into the water like that."
"Yes, it's a pity that a million low-grade immortal stones were wasted."
"What's this? There are plenty of ancient stones more expensive than this. What's a million low-grade immortal stones? Don't you even know who this is?"
"Oh, the Supreme Mysterious? Then it's alright. A mere one million low-grade immortal stones is a loss we can afford."
The crowd discussed it, some feeling it was a pity, after all, it was something worth a million low-grade immortal stones, but others felt it was no big deal.
When the stone was finally cut open, there was indeed nothing inside; it was just a piece of waste rock.
"Immortal, your luck is a bit off."
The stall owner was a little embarrassed, but there was nothing to say. One cut can make you poor, another can make you rich. He also hoped to cut out something good, but if there wasn't any, there wasn't any. What could he say?
"It's alright."
Supreme Mysterious shook his head. He wasn't disappointed; it was just a game.
Just then, Golden Crow Crown Prince suddenly picked up an ancient stone, which looked to weigh five or six hundred pounds, and casually asked, "How much is this ancient stone?"
"The Golden Crow Crown Prince asked."
"Immortal, 1.5 million low-grade immortal stones."
The stall owner spoke up.
In an instant Tianji Zi's voice rang out again.
"One and a half million? Why don't you just rob us? This piece is clearly smaller than the one that was just cut, yet it's more expensive? Are you kidding me? Trying to rip us off?"
Tianji Zi spoke up; he had no choice but to. One and a half million low-grade immortal stones—it was an astronomical price.
"Immortal, please don't say that. Ancient stones aren't judged by weight, but mainly by their region. Some ancient stones from certain mining areas are just more expensive. To be honest, if this were an ancient stone from one of the four forbidden mining areas, it would be even more terrifying. A piece the size of a palm selling for a million high-grade immortal stones, do you believe it or not?"
The stall owner explained helplessly.
At that moment, Feng Shaoyu's voice rang out.
"Indeed, the value of an ancient stone is not determined by its size, but by its place of origin. This stone should be from the Taiyue Mining Area, right?"
Feng Shaoyu spoke, saying this.
"Uh, no, this is the Tianshui Mining Area."
The stall owner paused for a moment, then slowly spoke.
Hiss!
At this moment, Feng Shaoyu was stunned. He looked closely and then nodded, saying, "It really is the Tianshui Mining Area. The ancient stones around it are all from the Taiyue Mining Area, so I subconsciously thought that this was the Taiyue Mining Area."
Feng Shaoyu coughed and then gave this explanation.
Upon hearing this, the stall owner paused for a moment before replying, "No, these are all from the Tianshui Mining Area."
Feng Shaoyu: ""
"Don't buy it. This stall owner doesn't know anything. Let's go, fellow Daoists, don't play around here. These street vendor goods are worthless and are just bluffing. Let's go to the Holy Land Stone Workshop Archway."
Feng Shaoyu is really something else. You can't sabotage someone like this! Once is one thing, but two or three times? Are you trying to make things unplayable?
"Oh dear, I remember now, this is the Taiyue Mining Area, Immortal, I was confused, I was confused, don't go, don't go."
Seeing Feng Shaoyu's posture, the stall owner quickly spoke up, calling a deer a horse, and reluctantly admitted that it was an ancient stone from the Taiyue Mining Area.
Everyone fell silent, and Feng Shaoyu was also a little embarrassed, but in order to maintain his image, he looked at Ye Rujin and said, "This is really from the Taiyue Mining Area. This shopkeeper doesn't know anything about it."
"Yes, I believe you."
Ye Rujin nodded, her eyes clear and firm.
Feng Shaoyu was slightly taken aback. Although it sounded alright, why did it feel a little strange?
"Okay, this is fine. Cut it open for me, cut it in the middle."
Golden Crow Crown Prince didn't waste any words and directly bought the ancient stone.
The 1.5 Treasure Note were also handed over to the stall owner.
The latter took the Treasure Note and immediately began cutting the stone for Golden Crow Crown Prince.
Click!
A crisp sound rang out as the stall owner sliced it open from the middle.
In an instant, a blinding light burst forth, and the crowd erupted in cheers.
"It's out, it's out, it's been shipped."
"They actually shipped it!"
"This is Sun Immortal Stone."
"Hiss, they actually found a gem like this?"
"An eighteenth-grade immortal stone, the sixth-ranked Sun Immortal Stone."
"A celestial stone condensed from the essence of the sun! Good heavens, it must be worth at least fifty million low-grade celestial stones!"
"Fifty million low-grade immortal stones? You're dreaming! It'll be at least seventy million."
"Seventy million? You're selling it to me?"
"I'll offer 80 million low-grade immortal stones."
"I offer 85 million low-grade immortal stones."
"I'll offer 95 million low-grade immortal stones."
The crowd erupted in cheers. The ancient stone chosen by the Golden Crow Crown Prince was cut into a fist-sized Sun Immortal Stone. The stone, like a small sun, radiated hundreds of golden rays, dazzling and blinding.
Although it's only the size of a fist, it's the sixth-ranked Sun Immortal Stone among the eighteen grades of immortal stones, and it's quite valuable. If it were sold, it wouldn't be difficult to fetch ten million low-grade immortal stones.
The Golden Crow Crown Prince simply smiled calmly, showing no excitement. Ten million low-grade immortal stones were nothing to someone like him.
After all, these people are all the chosen ones of heaven, and the unit of measurement for immortal stones is at least a high-grade immortal stone.
These 100 million low-grade immortal stones, when converted, are only equivalent to 10,000 high-grade immortal stones.
One million high-grade immortal stones would probably move these people.
Of course, Tianji Zi is excluded.
"This fist-sized thing is worth ten million low-grade immortal stones?"
Tianji Zi stared at the immortal stone in utter shock, unafraid even if his eyes were blinded.
"About ten million low-grade immortal stones, no more than that." Feng Shaoyu nodded, then said, "Actually, before I came here, I also noticed that this immortal stone was quite good, it's just a pity that it was chosen by you, fellow Daoist. Perhaps this is fate."
Feng Shaoyu said shamelessly.
"Really? Then help me pick one."
Tianji Zi was excited this time. He had been heartbroken when he saw Supreme Mysterious buy a piece of waste stone. Although it was not his own immortal stone, he was tempted when he saw the Golden Crow Crown Prince cut an ancient stone and make a profit of nearly a hundred times.
"Okay, but I'm making it clear beforehand that I want 30% of what you cut up!"
Feng Shaoyu said with a smile.
"Okay, 30% done, 30% done."
Tianji Zi nodded. Since it was free anyway, giving him 30% wouldn't hurt.
"So what price range of antique stones are you planning to choose?"
When business came in, Feng Shaoyu was immediately excited. Although his eyes were filled with excitement, he still put on a professional demeanor.
Is five thousand enough?
Tianji Zi asked tentatively.
"Five thousand? Five thousand high-grade immortal stones? That's enough!"
Feng Shaoyu nodded. Five thousand high-grade immortal stones are equivalent to fifty million low-grade immortal stones, which is quite a profit.
"Not of the highest quality."
Tianji Zi quickly shook his head.
"That's a mid-grade item?"
Feng Shaoyu was taken aback. Five thousand mid-grade immortal stones were a bit too little; only five hundred thousand low-grade immortal stones were needed.
But Tianji Zi shook his head again and said, "It's not mid-grade, it's low-grade! Is that alright? If it really doesn't work, I can add some more?"
Tianji Zi said earnestly.
Feng Shaoyu: "Get lost!"
Five thousand low-grade immortal stones?
You can't even buy scraps, right?
Damn it, although Feng Shaoyu was also greedy for money, he felt that this kind of greed was an insult to his profession as a stone appraiser.
But just then...
A commotion broke out, followed by sounds.
"The God Race Tianjiao has arrived."
