Although the buildings here are tall and complete, there is also a lot of open space left. In the center, there is a large square, and above the square there are ten arenas and high platforms standing on both sides.
Looking at this posture, Ouyang Ming immediately knew that this was the place to win the competition.
However, the Wanbao Conference has just begun and no one is on stage.
There is enough space between each building. At this time, many corners are full of people, and stalls are placed in front of them, filled with all kinds of strange items. .
Once entering the venue, the overt and covert fighting on all sides has already begun.
These stalls come from casual cultivators from all over the country, and they bring their collected items to the venue for sale. This is also the best place for appraisers to display their talents. If any appraiser finds any rare items here, it will definitely become the most eye-catching sight at the conference.
Of course, no secret manipulation is allowed in this process, otherwise, the powerful royal family will let them know how terrible the consequences will be.
Ouyang Ming walked leisurely. He did not enter those buildings, but wandered around the stalls.
In fact, he also knew that the probability of finding good things here was not high. But this was the first time I encountered such an occasion, and I was still full of curiosity.
However, after walking for a while, Ouyang Ming became a little disappointed. Although he has learned the art of appraisal, he is not a real appraiser after all. If he does not hold the item in his hands, he cannot understand the true value of the item.
At this point, there is indeed a big gap between Ouyang Ming and those traditional appraisers.
Suddenly, his steps stopped and he looked in a certain direction.
In front of that stall, two middle-aged men were glaring at each other, and it was obvious that a fierce argument had occurred. Moreover, judging from their excited attitudes, it seems that there is a gradual escalation trend.
Ouyang Ming's curiosity aroused, and an argument broke out in front of the stall. Without asking, he knew that it must be related to the items on the stall.
With a slight flicker of figure, he also came to the stall and stared at it.
There are some herbs and minerals on this stall. Ouyang Ming doesn't know much about herbs, and he can't tell whether they are valuable or not at a glance. However, he knew a lot about minerals. After a few cursory glances, he didn't feel anything special.
In fact, there are countless kinds of minerals in the world, but not all minerals have high value.
Although some minerals are relatively rare, in the eyes of blacksmiths, they are useless.
After listening to a few words, he immediately understood the reason for the quarrel between the two people.
The two of them coincidentally took a fancy to a certain herb on the stall and were competing for the right to check it out.
Although it sounds ridiculous, this priority does have a huge effect. Because according to the rules, once someone is checking and negotiating the price with the stall owner, other bystanders are not allowed to speak or interfere.
It can be said that once you have the priority to check, you have the absolute initiative, so these two argued hard and refused to give up easily.
The stall owner also looked helpless. When someone asked around him, he spread his hands and couldn't explain.
The two came here almost at the same time and identified this herb at the same time. Although such a thing is rare, it is not unheard of.
The argument between the two became louder and louder, and finally attracted the royal guard, who was a tall man. He frowned slightly after listening to everyone's words, and said: "In this case, as usual, you can participate in the martial arts competition to win the championship, and the winner will get priority." After a pause, he added: "If you are not good at martial arts, you can each hire someone , see you on the ring in an hour.”
The two middle-aged men nodded one after another and left. The guard took away the herbal seal from the stall owner and left a receipt.
Everyone seemed to be accustomed to this, and even the stall owner didn't object.
Ouyang Ming was amazed when he saw it. It turned out that this was also a function of winning the first prize in the competition.
Ouyang Ming's ears twitched slightly, and he heard the voices of passers-by talking.
"Brother Zhang, the gem museum is open, let's go and have a look!"
"Okay, if we are lucky and can find a gem, our trip will be worthwhile."
The Wanbao Conference is a fully open place, and the major superpowers certainly occupy a dominant position. However, the largest number of people here are heroes from all over the world.
After hearing their conversation, Ouyang Ming immediately turned around and followed them calmly.
Since he couldn't pick up the slack at these stalls before, he should go to places where his strengths can be used.
Not long after, the two men came to a tall building. Ouyang Ming took a look and followed in without hesitation.
On this building are written three magnificent characters, "Gem Museum".
The museum is indeed filled with various types of rough stones and gemstones of different sizes. Of course, the number of rough stones among them is a hundred times greater than the number of gemstones. In particular, three stones weighing almost half a ton were placed not far from the entrance, which attracted the attention of countless people.
However, Ouyang Ming gave up completely after just one glance. He bypassed the three stones and walked inside.
The stones that can be placed here by the owner must be carefully selected. And since it was so large, there was a high possibility that there would be gems inside, so naturally he wouldn't waste time on it.
According to the size of the original stone, the museum is divided into different areas. The larger the size of the original stone, the more people it attracts. Of course, the people who can check the rough stones in those areas have some kind of identity, either they are the best solo travelers, or they are appraisers with big backers behind them.
Because only they have the financial resources to buy promising rough stones.
On the contrary, more ordinary solo travelers came to the Xiaowei rough stone area. They were picking and choosing here, and everyone had solemn expressions.
Ouyang Ming smiled slightly and entered this area.
All the rough stones were placed on square tables for people to choose from. Ouyang Ming came to an empty space and reached out to touch the rough stones one by one. His movements were extremely fast, and he had already touched the rough stones in front of and nearby him almost instantly. The red light flashed in the palm of my hand, and no one could notice it at all.
After one lap, he shook his head slightly and gave up his position.
These rough stones are not big. Although two of them give me a better feeling, if compared with the rare and high-quality gems in the past, they are far different.
Nowadays, Ouyang Ming's vision has long been developed, and ordinary gemstones cannot arouse his interest at all.
Turning his eyes, Ouyang Ming walked casually in this area. Once there was a space in front of the square table, he went up to check it out.
Less than half an hour later, he already had three more rough stones in his hand.
Among these three rough stones, one feels better, one feels average, and the last one feels nothing at all.
Ouyang Ming shook his head slightly, sighing inwardly. Others choose rough stones, eager to find gems in every one. But he still wanted to confuse the situation and choose an ordinary rough stone to make up the number.
Suddenly he felt uncomfortable, and Ouyang Ming felt a line of sight focused on him. He turned around and frowned slightly. They were really enemies on a narrow road.
Shao Hongyi, a young man from Huangsha County, also came to the Gem Museum.
When he saw Ou Yangming, the expression on his face seemed to be a smile but not a smile, and he said, "Brother Ou, it turns out you are here too."
Although Ouyang Ming is impatient to deal with such people, he is not an ignorant young man who has just emerged. Although he is young, he is quite dignified. He said calmly: "I came here after wandering all the way. Brother Shao is here..."
Shao Hongyi said proudly: "I'm a gem appraiser from Huangsha County, so I came here to try my luck. I didn't expect that Brother Ou would be in the same group."
Ouyang Ming thought to himself, Bah, I and you are not traveling together! However, when facing Shao Hongyi, he remained expressionless and did not refute.
Shao Hong turned his eyes, glanced at the three rough stones in Ouyang Ming's hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Ou, we are here on behalf of the IKEA Pavilion. The main battlefield is not here, but over there." He stretched out his hand and pointed. In the area of large and medium-sized rough stones, he said: "There is a higher probability of high-quality rough stones appearing there. If we want to save face for the IKEA Pavilion, we can't waste time here."
Ouyang Ming frowned slightly and said, "Really? How long has Brother Shao been here? Is there any promising rough stone?"
Shao Hongyi chuckled and said, "I have already bought a piece. Brother Ou, are you interested in taking a look?"
Ouyang Ming said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's take a look."
As Shao Hong came to the area of large and medium-sized rough stones, he pointed at one of them and said: "I have taken the mark on it, and the payment has been completed. The stone can be unlocked at any time."
This rough stone is as thick as an adult's thigh, and its length reaches about half a person's height. It is inconspicuous among many rough stones.
Ouyang Ming glanced at Shao Hongyi and saw a hint of amusement on his face. After a moment's hesitation, he reached out and touched her.
A red light flashed in the palm of his hand, and Ouyang Ming immediately sensed that there was indeed a trace of light in this rough stone. However, the light was not strong, and it was basically the same as the best of the three rough stones in his hand.
However, based on the size and quality of the rough stone, the value of the rough stone Shao Hongyi chose is enough to buy twenty or thirty yuan of this small rough stone.
"Brother Ou, I plan to cut the stone on the spot." Shao Hongyi said loudly: "Only if the stone is cut on the spot, can it be regarded as the prestige of IKEA Pavilion."
Ouyang Ming nodded slightly and said expressionlessly: "Then I wish Brother Shao success and the gem will be revealed."
Shao Hongyi's eyes turned to the three rough stones in Ouyang Ming's hand, and he said with a smile: "Brother Ou, let's unravel the stones together."
Ouyang Ming was slightly startled, looked at the other party deeply, and suddenly smiled: "Okay, since Brother Shao has this intention, it's better to be respectful than to obey."
