“There are two major families in the Ancient City of Immortals, the Jie family and the Shi family. They possess the art of stone-cutting, and only they can open the Immortal Stone intact, so they have monopolized the stone-cutting business in dozens of states around.
In the ancient city of Shenxian, there are thousands of stone pavilions and stone houses of all sizes, but each of them has a share of the Jie family and the Shi family, and each has a stone-cutting master from these two major stone-cutting families! The Jie family is more low-key, while the Shi family is more domineering, but the strength of these two families is incomparably powerful and unfathomable!
Relying on the stone-cutting business, they discovered countless ancient treasures in the immortal stones and obtained many powerful resources, which made the two families vaguely show signs of surpassing the nine immortal gates! The Immortal Ancient City is also the center of dozens of states in this area. Every day, many big figures in the immortal world will choose to come to the Immortal Ancient City to gamble on stones!
Master, the divine jade fetus I sold to the Shi family, they already know that it is related to Xuantian Immortal Lord, I am afraid they may not put it up for auction! We may return empty-handed this time!"
The Sky-Eating Rat followed Ling Xiao into the Ancient City of Immortals and introduced the situation of the Ancient City of Immortals to Ling Xiao.
"Return empty-handed? That may not be the case!"
Ling Xiao smiled slightly.
After passing through the hundreds-foot-high city gate of the Ancient City of Immortals and the protective barrier of the Ancient City of Immortals, they finally entered the interior of the city.
As soon as he entered the ancient fairy city, Ling Xiao actually felt like he had entered a city in the mundane world.
What lies before our eyes is an extremely lively scene. On both sides of the wide street, there are all kinds of magical stones, and stall owners and vendors are shouting their wares with all their might.
"The immortal stone in Tianyuan Mountain once produced top-grade immortal medicine. Now it's on sale. You only need ten immortal crystals to exchange for one immortal stone!"
"Come and see, the immortal stones in the Dragon and Tiger Mine will definitely yield immortal iron and gold, thirty immortal crystals per piece!"
"The divine jade immortal fetus collected by Chongyang Immortal Master himself, there is only one piece, come and see, it only costs one thousand immortal crystals!"
"Half of the immortal stone has been untied, and the fragrance of precious medicine has already been revealed. It only costs two hundred immortal crystals!"
"… "
Ling Xiao could see that the cultivation levels of the stall owners and vendors around him were not very high. Most of them were only at the level of immortals or great immortals, and there were even cultivators who had not yet become immortals. Their stalls were filled with all kinds of strange-shaped fairy stones, surrounded by fairy light, which looked quite strange, but it was difficult to tell whether they were real or fake.
"Master, in the entire Immortal Ancient City, apart from the two huge palace complexes deep inside, which are the territory of the Jie family and the Shi family respectively, the majority of the shops are stone shops, restaurants and inns. The immortal stones sold by these small vendors are all inferior products, and most of them are used to cheat those who don't know much about the business. If you are interested, I know a few good gem shops, we can go and have a look!"
Seeing that Ling Xiao seemed interested in those small stalls, the Sky-Eating Rat hurriedly spoke attentively.
The charm of the fairy stone lies in the fact that no one knows what is inside. Only by cutting the stone can we tell whether there is a treasure inside.
Hence the saying that one sword can lead to heaven and one sword can lead to hell.
The big figures in the fairy world, especially some young geniuses and kings, are very interested in this and are willing to spend a fortune to gamble on stones in the ancient city of immortals.
Of course, some people cut treasures from the fairy stones, which made a sensation in the whole city, but most of them lost all their money.
Relying on the booming business of fairy stones, the Xie family and the Shi family made a fortune.
"It's okay, I'll take a look first!"
There was a gleam of light in Ling Xiao's eyes. He walked towards a street stall and picked up a magical stone.
The stall owner was an old man with a goatee. His eyes were rolling around and he looked cunning. When he saw the customer coming, his eyes lit up and he grinned with his big yellow teeth, "My dear customer, you have good eyesight. This is the old mine in the God Burial Abyss. You know the God Burial Abyss, right? That's where the Shi family made their fortune. The immortal stone dug out from the God Burial Abyss helped them to unlock the ancient imperial scripture and the ultimate imperial weapon, which laid the foundation for the Shi family! If you like this immortal stone, I will reluctantly give it up and only charge you one thousand... ten thousand immortal crystals!"
"God Burial Abyss? How dare you say that! God Burial Abyss is a forbidden area. Although there are immortal stones in it, the Shi family had to risk their lives to obtain some of the immortal stones. With your immortal cultivation, do you dare to go to God Burial Abyss to mine?"
Ling Xiao didn't say anything, and the Sky-Devouring Rat couldn't help but sneered.
“Hehe, although the Burial of Gods Abyss is a forbidden area and my cultivation is not strong, it should be ok for me to pick up a few pieces of immortal stones from the periphery, right? This is what I brought back after surviving a life-threatening situation. It is definitely the immortal stone from the Burial of Gods Abyss!”
The old man with a goatee was not angry, he just smiled and said.
Ling Xiao ignored him, holding the magic stone in his hand, and closed his eyes slightly.
Just now, the seal of the gods in Ling Xiao’s soul trembled.
And the source is this magical stone.
This magical stone looks black, emits a bright fairy light, has cracks on it, and looks very ordinary, nothing special about it.
But since it could make the seal of the gods tremble, Ling Xiao still attached great importance to it.
He obtained the Seal of the Gods from the Ancient Land of Chaos. According to legend, it contains the destiny of the Gods. However, after Ling Xiao left the Ancient Land of Chaos, the Seal of the Gods completely fell silent.
When Ling Xiao held the divine stone, the trembling of the divine seal became even stronger, as if there was something in the divine stone that made the divine seal very eager.
Buzz!
Ling Xiao opened his slightly closed eyes, and a strange light shone out. The power of domination lingered above his eyes, allowing him to see through the magical stone in an instant.
Inside the divine stone, there is a broken piece of ceramic, emitting an aura fluctuation similar to that of the divine seal.
“Is this piece of ceramic the source?”
Ling Xiao's heart moved.
He touched the other immortal stones on the stall again and found that the other immortal stones did not cause any response from the God Clan Seal. Only this immortal stone with the ceramic piece made the God Clan Seal vibrate.
"I want this immortal stone, five hundred immortal crystals!"
Ling Xiao looked at the old man with a goatee and said lightly.
"Five hundred immortal crystals? No! This is an old mine in the God Burial Abyss. It's already very cheap to charge you ten thousand immortal crystals! How about this, I have a connection with you today, so I'll give you a discount and sell it to you for five thousand immortal crystals!"
The old man with a goatee smiled slightly.
"Five hundred immortal crystals!"
Ling Xiao said lightly.
"Young man, why are you so stubborn? I risked my life to bring back this old mine from the God Burial Abyss. I'm afraid of you! Take these two thousand immortal crystals!"
The old man with a goatee kept chattering.
"Five hundred immortal crystals!"
"… "
The old man with a goatee was spitting all over the place, and when it came to the topic of price, he suddenly became extremely shrewd.
However, in the end, seeing that Ling Xiao was still only willing to offer 500 fairy crystals, the old man with a goatee had no choice but to agree with a painful look on his face.
