"You bought the immortal stone from the old mine in the God Burial Abyss with five hundred immortal crystals. You made a lot of money, but I lost a lot!"
The old man with a goatee muttered, and handed the magic stone to Ling Xiao reluctantly.
"For this broken immortal stone, I think you've made a lot of money with one immortal crystal, and you still think five hundred immortal crystals are not enough? If you don't want to, then forget it, we won't buy it!"
The Sky-Eating Rat said with some annoyance.
He really couldn't see what was special about the immortal stone that Ling Xiao had chosen. As for the immortal stone in the God Burial Abyss, that was even more nonsense and he didn't believe it at all.
"What's your name, old man?"
Ling Xiao gave the goat-bearded old man five hundred fairy crystals, then put the fairy stone into his pocket and smiled at him.
Although this old man with a goatee seemed to have only the cultivation level of an immortal, Ling Xiao instinctively felt that he was no ordinary person. To be able to obtain this strange immortal stone, it might be possible that he had obtained it from the God Burial Abyss.
Ling Xiao learned from the Sky-Devouring Rat that the God Burial Abyss was a forbidden area in the fairyland. According to legend, countless ancient gods and demons were buried there, and it also gave birth to countless fairy stones. Although it was full of dangers, the fairy stones therein were of extremely high quality.
Just like the Shi family, they once obtained precious immortal stones from the God Burial Abyss, and deciphered the ancient imperial scriptures and the ultimate imperial weapons from them, which caused a sensation in the entire fairy world, laid the foundation for the Shi family, and attracted countless people to go to the God Burial Abyss to mine immortal stones.
Therefore, the immortal stones in the God Burial Abyss have also become synonymous with the best immortal stones.
However, the Burial God Abyss is full of dangers. It is difficult for ordinary people to mine the immortal stones from the Burial God Abyss. Instead, there will be heavy casualties. Most of the immortal stones from the Burial God Abyss on the market are fake.
"I am Master Shenxu! I think you are a good kid, so I'll give you a piece of news. If you want to cut the stone, you'd better go find someone from the Jie family to cut it, not the Shi family. The Shi family is used to being overbearing. If there is really something good inside, they may force you to buy or sell it!"
The old man with a goatee smiled slightly.
"Do I need to tell you?"
The Sky-Devouring Rat rolled his eyes and said, what this Immortal Shenxu said is just nonsense. Who in the entire Shenxian Ancient City doesn’t know how domineering the Shi family is
"Thank you, old man!"
Ling Xiao nodded.
He really wanted to find a stone cutter to unlock the divine stone in his hand. That piece of ceramic could make the divine seal produce a response, which made Ling Xiao attach great importance to it.
There are Jie Shi Pavilions on both sides of the street. Ling Xiao and Tian Shi Shu did not hesitate and directly chose the Jie Shi Pavilion of the Jie family.
The business in the Stone Cutting Pavilion is very hot. Stone cutters are holding magical stones and carefully breaking the stone skin. There are many people watching around. The stone cutting process is also the most exciting process. From time to time, people scream or sigh.
However, the cost of cutting the stone is not low. An ordinary fairy stone requires at least one fairy crystal. As for high-quality fairy stones, or even divine jade fairy fetuses, the cost of cutting the stone may reach hundreds or even tens of thousands of fairy crystals.
"Stone cutting is a technical job, involving the chaotic avenues of heaven and earth contained in the immortal stone. Only the Jie family and the Shi family can cut the stone intact!"
The Sky-Eating Rat sighed softly and said with some envy.
It's not just the Sky-Eating Rat. Who isn't jealous of the Jie and Shi families
However, the stone-cutting technique of the Jie and Shi families is also known as the Heavenly Stone-cutting Scripture. Only the members of the Jie and Shi families can practice it. Only they can cut stones without damaging the treasures inside the magical stones.
The immortal stone is extremely strange. The outer surface of the stone is interwoven with the aura of the gods and the immortals, and it also contains the chaotic laws of the Tao. If the stone is forcibly cut, the consequence will only be that the treasures in the immortal stone will be completely destroyed.
"The stone cutter of the Xie family has some special blood in his body!"
Ling Xiao's eyes flickered slightly. He watched a stone cutter from the Xie family cutting the stone. His movements were as smooth as flowing water. The stone skin kept turning into powder and falling down, just like a butcher cutting up an ox. Along the texture of the fairy stone, he skillfully broke the stone skin of the fairy stone.
Those hands were crystal clear, like jade, yet incredibly dexterous, and contained a mysterious aura.
"Is it the aura of the Celestial Immortal Secret Art and the Celestial God Secret Art? Could it be that they rely on the two original secret arts to dissolve the stone? But it's a little different!"
There was a gleam of light in Ling Xiao's eyes. He clearly sensed the aura of these two secret techniques from the Jie family's stone cutter.
Both the Xie family and the Shi family have the Stone-cutting Heavenly Scripture, but there are subtle differences between them. However, only the members of the two clans can practice their Stone-cutting Heavenly Scripture, and outsiders cannot learn the stone-cutting technique at all.
Finally, the stone cutter of the Xie family completely opened the fairy stone, but it was empty without any treasure, which caused a lot of sighs.
"Ah... How could there be nothing? This magical stone cost me 10,000 immortal crystals!"
A middle-aged fat man in brocade clothes let out a scream, his face full of extreme pain.
"Stone-breaking, one hundred immortal crystals!"
The Xie family's stone cutter said lightly. Although the fat man in brocade clothes was very frustrated, he did not dare to refuse the Xie family's stone cutting fee. He could only obediently take out a hundred fairy crystals and then left in shame.
"Anyone else want to unravel the stone?"
After the Xie family's stone cutter received the immortal crystal, he asked calmly.
"I want to unravel the stone!"
Ling Xiao walked out, took out the magic stone in his arms, and said calmly.
"This divine stone is of low quality and has many cracks on it. These cracks are called scattered spirit patterns. Even if there are treasures inside, they are worthless. Are you sure you want to dissect the stone?"
The stone cutter of the Xie family took a look at the magic stone in Ling Xiao's hand and frowned.
“That’s right!”
Ling Xiao nodded.
"Okay! Cut the stone, ten immortal crystals!"
The stone cutter said lightly, then took the fairy stone from Ling Xiao's hand and began to cut the stone.
Buzz!
His hands were as crystal clear as jade, extremely flexible, and filled with mysterious fairy light. He gently stroked the fairy stone, as if there were blades on his palms. The fairy stone trembled slightly, and then the stone skin began to fall off.
There was a hint of strangeness in Ling Xiao's eyes. He vaguely realized that the blood in Master Li Shi's body actually exuded an aura similar to that of the God's Seal.
"Is this why they can dissolve stones? Or... are they gods?"
Ling Xiao's heart moved, and a sharp light appeared in his eyes.
Snap!
Soon, the skin of the fairy stone in the stone cutter's hand fell off completely, and a fairy light spread out, emitting an ancient breath.
"The treasure has been found!"
Someone exclaimed, and immediately everyone's eyes looked over and fell on the magic stone in the stone master's hand.
The fairy stone broke in the middle, and a piece of black ceramic appeared in everyone's sight!
