"Well, I haven't seen the Meteorite Gold Mine either, so I just went to have a look." Yan Yuchu also said.
Several people quickened their pace and walked towards the city.
"Wait, isn't that egg put away?" Mu Cheng suddenly said to Mu Hanyan.
They are no strangers to an egg that can jump and jump, and if it falls into the eyes of others, it may be some kind of monster.
"Oh yes, put it away first." Mu Hanyan turned around, only to find that the guy was gone.
When I lowered my head again, I saw a small section of round eggshells squeezing and arching, trying desperately to drill into the chest.
"This pervert." Mu Hanyan laughed dumbly.
Soon, a few people came to Xiaochi City. When they looked at it from a distance, they could see the outline of the city, but when they got closer, they realized that it was actually just an outline. No matter the scale, it was the city wall made of broken stones and decayed wood, or the dilapidated city walls. The houses and rough streets are far from a real city, at most it is a bigger village.
But when it comes to prosperity, it is much better than the village. There is an endless stream of merchants coming and going from all over the country, and street vendors who set up stalls on the roadside are also shouting loudly to sell special products in the mountains.
Although meteorites are not as widely used as medicinal herbs, they are essential for alchemists, and these people will naturally not miss business opportunities.
At first, everyone came for meteorite gold ore, but as time passed, more people came, and the demand became more abundant. Xiaochi City also unknowingly formed a large market, which was very lively.
The few people came here to satisfy their curiosity, and they didn't have any clear purpose, so they didn't ask anyone for directions, and followed the crowd towards the city.
In front, a newly built building was crowded with people, many people were still looking inside, talking about something.
Mu Hanyan and the others were a little curious and squeezed in.
"One thousand taels of silver per person, if you want to go in, hurry up, or you will have to wait another three months if you miss the time." A middle-aged man dressed as a guard in front shouted loudly.
"What is this for, you have to pay to get in?" Wu Qiyun asked curiously.
"Did you just come here? You don't even know this. This is the once-in-a-year Stone Tasting Conference in Xiaochi City. If you are lucky, you will get rich overnight and live comfortably for a few lifetimes. If you are not lucky, you will lose all your pants." .” A young swordsman next to him explained. As for why he explained more, because he liked Mu Hanyan more.
"What stone tasting conference?" Mu Hanyan asked in confusion.
"You don't know the origin of Xiaochi City, do you?" The man gave Mu Hanyan a strange look, and continued to explain, "The so-called Stone Tasting Conference is mainly for the meteorite gold mine that has just been mined and has not been refined. For tasting, of course, in addition to the entrance fee, you need to pay a little money every time you appraise a piece of meteorite gold ore. Make a windfall, and if you're unlucky, buy a pebble."
"Isn't that gambling with stones?" Mu Hanyan suddenly realized.
It is said that people who deal in jade have this kind of gambling method. I didn't expect that meteorite gold mines can also be used for gambling.
"You're talking about gambling on jade, right? It's different. Jade is not as valuable as meteorite gold ore. Besides, you only need to cut open the raw jade ore to find out. This meteorite gold mine is not the same. If there is no alchemist's The method may not be useful if you cut it open." The swordsman gave Mu Hanyan a disgusted look, and then explained it again, with confidence flying between his brows.
