The ninth-floor courtyard gave Ye Fan a strange feeling, and these stones made him feel uneasy.
"Is this the breath of Taichu's ancient mine?" He had such a thought.
"Book of Origin" is a strange book, which contains the method of sensing between heaven and man. Ye Fan has already begun to dabble in this supreme source technique, and has a little understanding of it.
He felt that he felt the aura of the Taichu ancient mine. This condensed, restrained and specific aura should have originated from that piece of demonic soil.
In this northern region, the most terrifying place is the ancient sacred mine. No one knows when it started.
"This is it!" Liu Chengen had already chosen and patted the Origin Stone.
That piece of stone can be as big as a human head and weighs more than ten kilograms. It is shaped like a lying cow and has a strong tendency to condense.
"This stone will definitely come out, it's just a question of how much." Master Yuan nodded.
"Have you made your choice?" Liu Chengen glanced at Ye Fan.
"Wait a minute." He was a little unsure. It was tainted with the aura of demon soil, which made him have a lot of trouble when judging the source stone. It always felt hazy and difficult to grasp.
"What is there in that weird place? Even the stone has been infected." Ye Fan eliminated twenty fake Origin Stones and selected from the remaining thirty-eight.
"There are too few stones in this courtyard." The second idiot was dissatisfied and complained in a low voice.
"This is stone mined from the edge of the ancient Taichu mine. It would be good to be able to transport a few dozen pieces. Most of them are sent to the Holy City. How many people in Pingyan City dare to bet on this kind of thing?"
"The Holy City is different. The great powers of the Eastern Wasteland, the royal family of Zhongzhou, and the giants of the Northern Territory have been there all year round. Even the 'ancient materials' obtained from the ancient mines of Taichu are still dared to bet on."
"The main reason is that this kind of stone is too expensive and no one can afford it." Someone sighed.
Master Yuan of Rongxiang Gambling Stone Shop shook his head and said: "This is already considered cheap. The price of source stones shipped to the Holy City is sky-high, and most of the stones are more expensive than pure sources."
"No way, who would be taken advantage of like that?"
"You don't know something about this. When you reach that level, you are no longer betting on the pure source, but on the more valuable things contained in the source."
Someone beside him nodded in agreement and said, "The Source Stone contains too many secrets. The Source is not the most precious. There may be peerless treasures within these seemingly inconspicuous stones."
Ye Fan finally selected the stone. It was a cyan stone with light yellow lines on it. This piece of material was not very big and could weigh more than ten kilograms.
Everyone was completely speechless and felt that his choice of stone was unreasonable.
"I said, little brother, you really like to take unusual paths. You dare to choose such a stone. This is the famous 'Watermelon Stone'."
"That's right, this is the 'Watermelon Stone'. At most it will produce some source particles like watermelon seeds, but it is impossible to produce large pieces of source. Your stone weighs more than ten kilograms, which means it will cost more than a kilogram.
A pure source, the gain outweighs the loss.”
This stone has clear veins, just like the stripes of a watermelon, which is indeed consistent with its name.
"Even if you get dozens of 'melon seeds', they can't exceed one or two weights. You will definitely lose money."
Among the onlookers, a few old people gave kind reminders, but most of them ridiculed.
"If I choose one with my eyes closed, it's better than this 'Watermelon Stone'. Little Mud Monkey, please go back to the mine. This place is really not suitable for you."
"I don't even know this common sense thing, but I still have the nerve to bet on stones. A blind cat can't always encounter a dead mouse."
Liu Chengen shook his folding fan, showed a sarcastic smile, walked around the watermelon stone, and laughed: "Good stone!"
The people around him also laughed, slapped the watermelon stones, and kept teasing him.
"Most people really can't choose good stones."
"Yeah, we normal people don't dare to choose anyway."
"If a treasure is cut out later, I will really swallow the stone skin this time and learn a lot."
"Did you say that?!" The second idiot was more serious. He identified the person and said, "This time I can see clearly that it was you who said it. If a good source is dug out, will you really swallow the stone skin?"
"Yes, that's what I said." A young man next to Liu Chengen mocked: "The watermelon stone also wants to cut out good things, so go ahead and dream of it."
"Everyone has seen it, you have to testify, he will swallow the stone skin when the time comes." Wang Shu stepped forward and said to the people around him.
"Cut the stone!"
After Master Yuan worshiped the God of Origin, he stepped forward with his weapon and cut Liu Chengen's stone with the force of a dragon and snake. The old skin kept falling to the ground, and soon there was a brilliance shining.
"What a pure source."
Just after peeling off a few kilograms of stone skin, bright light was already coming out. The exposed source had no trace of impurities and was crystal clear and very clean.
Soon, everyone exclaimed again. This piece of source was gradually dug out. It weighed four kilograms. For stone gamblers of this level, it was already very valuable.
"It is indeed a stone quarried from the edge of the ancient mine in Taichu!" It is only one or two kilograms, but this stone has cut so much.
"Let's cut the watermelon stones. Let me count how many melon seeds there are in total and see if there are one or two." Everyone around Liu Chengen laughed.
"Click"
Master Yuan didn't waste any time, and immediately cut the watermelon stone. The old skin fell to the ground, and soon most of the stone layer peeled off.
"It's really the best. There aren't even melon seeds, haha... It seems like there's nothing left to gain." The man who said he wanted to swallow the stone skin earlier gloated.
At the end of the cut, it was no longer the size of a pigeon egg. At this point, everyone understood that this was a white stone with nothing in it.
Even Ye Fan sighed, feeling that the stones brought back from the edge of the Taichu ancient mine were too weird and difficult to grasp.
Master Yuan threw the stone as big as his thumb on the ground without completely chopping it up.
"The watermelon stone will cut out some seeds that look like melon seeds. The stone you chose is really exquisite. Not a single grain came out. It seems that I can't even swallow the stone skin. Alas, I really want to taste it.
What does it taste like?"
"It belongs to your second grandpa!" Er Lunzi felt suffocated and kicked the small stones on the ground directly.
"boom"
A small stone as big as the belly of your thumb suddenly hit a big stone and shattered on the spot. At this moment, a dazzling light rushed out, and the rich spiritual energy could not be dissolved at all.
"This...a treasure has been found!" someone exclaimed.
Several figures rushed forward, and Ye Fan was the first to come closer and put the dazzling light ball in his palm.
"What source is this?"
In the palm of Ye Fan's hand, there is a source as big as a grain of rice. It is very small, but its brilliance is shining and very magical.
"Ancient insect source!"
"It's really an ancient insect source. This is a spiritual insect from ancient times that was sealed in the source."
"Yes, it is indeed a spiritual insect from ancient times, but it is a pity that it is too young."
"Don't be too small. This small insect the size of a grain of rice is enough to weigh dozens of kilograms."
Master Yuan regretted it too late, wishing he could slap himself in the mouth. They used tricks and secretly cut open some sources, but without thinking, they missed the most precious ones.
In the palm of Ye Fan's hand, there was a small insect the size of a grain of rice, crystal clear and formed from the source.
"That's right, it's that kind of ancient insect. It specialized in food sources in ancient times and condensed source essence all over its body. It is a special kind of spiritual insect."
A piece of fiery red source as big as a finger belly is worth ten kilograms of pure source, while an ancient insect source as big as a grain of rice is worth dozens of kilograms of pure source. You can imagine how precious this kind of ancient spiritual insect is.
"The ancient insect source can be used as medicine. There are some ancient secret recipes in all the major holy places. It is needed when refining medicine. If it were sold in the holy city, it would be worth a hundred kilograms of pure source."
This is really surprising, but a small insect as big as a grain of rice has such huge value, which makes Ye Fan feel a little incredible.
"This is not an ordinary insect. It has been extinct for countless years. In ancient times, it ate the source and spit out the source essence. It is very rare."
The people who gambled at Rongxiang Shifang almost regretted it. If I had known this, when I started to do something about it, I would have chosen this source no matter what.
Betting on such a rare source of ancient insects will inevitably spread throughout Pingyan City. It is worth dozens of kilograms or hundreds of kilograms of pure source. It is already a very considerable amount of money here.
At this moment, Liu Chengen's face turned completely green. Ancient insect sources were very rare, and they were worth hundreds of kilograms, so he couldn't get them.
"It's so unreasonable that such a heterogeneous source can be cut out." Everyone around Liu Chengen felt incredible.
Erluzi stepped forward happily, took Liu Chengen's source bag, and put away the piece of source he had cut out.
"You owe us more than ninety kilograms now, what do you think we should do?" Erluzi raised his chest and raised his head, speaking very forcefully.
"This..." Liu Chengen was ready to jump into the river, and his face was embarrassed. If he were in the wilderness, he would have killed someone and silenced him.
"Young Master Liu is a talented man from the Qingxia Sect. Naturally, he will not default on his debt. Don't worry, I will pay you back in the future." People around Liu Chengen scolded.
"Who are you scolding? You have to remember that it is he who owes us." Wang Shu stepped forward, stared at the man, and said, "It was you who said just now. If you cut out the treasure, you should swallow the stone skin.
"
"That's right, it's you. I remember it clearly. Hurry up and swallow the stone skin." The second fool stepped forward, grabbed the man's collar and asked him to swallow the stone skin.
There was a roar of laughter all around.
If it weren't for the deep background of Beishifang and the prohibition of fighting, this person would have turned against him long ago and would be extremely embarrassed at this moment.
"You... let go!"
"Admit defeat. You said you wanted to eat stone skin. If you are a man, don't break your promise and eat it for me."
This man was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. He gritted his teeth and took out half a kilogram of water, stuffed it into his hand, and then ran away in despair, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Liu Cheng'en was also extremely embarrassed, so he bit the bullet, borrowed pen and paper from Rong Xiang's gambler, wrote an IOU, and then turned around and left without looking back.
Ye Fan walked around Rongxiang Stone Gambling Shop and found that there were too many fakes. Without staying too much, the three of them turned and left.
At this moment, it was close to noon, and everyone else had dispersed, preparing to find a place to eat and go to Yaochi Xianshifang in the afternoon.
"I feel really comfortable today..." Erluzi yelled.
Wang Shu was also a young man at heart, and was very excited and excited, saying: "Ancient insect source, worth a hundred catties of source, is really dreamy!"
After Ye Fan tried his best, he felt that "Yuan Tian Shu" was unpredictable and indeed a wonder in the world.
He felt that after returning, he could be promoted to the secret realm of the Taoist Palace. The source of the Northern Territory was a sacred land to him, and he could continue to transform.
The three of them chose a restaurant and drank in a private room until they left after an hour.
Yaochi Xianshifang is located in the eastern district of Pingyan City. It has an elegant environment and is surrounded by many ancient trees, which cast a large amount of shade.
It was already afternoon, the door was already open, and there were many fallen leaves on the steps, giving people a very natural feeling.
Not long after entering Yaochi Xianshifang, Ye Fan found a few old people with extraordinary temperament outside the crowd, talking softly about something.
"The price of the Origin Stone in the Holy City is too high, but it can really produce good things. Not long ago, someone cut out a magic eye."
"I've also heard that it's not just as simple as one eye. It seems that it also cut out fresh demonic bones, which are of inestimable value.
The Erlunzi stood not far away, listening very clearly, and whispered, "The more you say it, the less reliable it becomes. If you continue to say it, it will become true that a fairy will fly from the stone and the most beautiful woman in the world will emerge."
Wang Shu also teased softly: "The older people get, the more they like to think wildly. In their view, everything can be found in the Source Stone. Even unearthing a heavenly book is not impossible."
What do you two little mud monkeys know!"
Those old men had very good ears, and when they heard their words, they turned around and stared.
"The source is the rarest spiritual thing in the world, and it can give birth to anything." An old man said seriously: "Those things you are talking about have really been unearthed."
"Old man, your beard has turned white, why are you still talking like this? Are you a bit crazy?" The idiot was choking to death, and he didn't know how to speak politely.
"Damn it, what are you saying, little bastard? Can you speak?" The old man was so angry that his beard stood up.
Wang Xuan couldn't laugh or cry, and tugged on Er Lengzi's clothes. Then he stepped forward and said: "Old man, don't take it to heart. My brother is too honest and not smart. There is no need to be on the same level as him."
"According to records from Beiyu's ancient books, hundreds of thousands of years ago, during the Barren Valley era, a peerless beauty was unearthed who came out of a divine wish." One of the old men spoke again and said, "Unfortunately, all major
She was chased and intercepted in the Holy Land, but she was still allowed to escape."
"Really?" Er Lunzi stretched out his long neck, came forward, and asked several old people, "How big a wish is that? Is that woman a monster or a god?"
Not far away, Ye Fan was also moved in his heart and listened quietly.
"Just stay here, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!" One of the old men was very unimpressed with the idiot.
"There is a heavenly secret in the wish. There is a reason why the royal family in Zhongzhou has peerless masters to generate and acquire riding stones at all costs."
"I have also heard people say that it seems that the ancestors of this family received a heavenly book from their wishes, which enabled their unstoppable rise."
Ye Fan was shocked in his heart, this was really surprising.
Er Lengzi and Wang Xianze looked at each other, feeling that the story was similar to that of Shen Shen.
"Old man, is this reliable? Is there still a book in my wish?" The idiot scratched his head.
"I asked you, you little bastard, why do you sound so ugly? Why don't you just stay there!" Several old men walked away with dark faces and stopped talking to him!
Ye Fan couldn't calm down in his heart. There was too much mist in the wish stone, which was more complicated and mysterious than he imagined.
He was fortunate to have obtained the (Yuantian Book) and collected the strange scriptures. One day he could control the world and uncover everything.
It seems that the stone buried in the ground not only contains the source, but also has more strange things.
There are endless secrets buried in this vast and uninhabited red ground, waiting to be explored!
