The courtyard on the ninth floor gave Ye Fan a strange feeling, and these stones made him uneasy.
"Is this the breath of the ancient mine in the beginning?" He had such a thought. "The Book of Origin of Heaven" is a wonderful book, in which there is the method of induction between heaven and man. Ye Fan has already dabbled in this supreme source technique, and has a little understanding of it.
He felt that he felt the aura of the ancient mine in the early days. This condensed, introverted and peculiar aura should come from that piece of magic soil.
In this Northern Territory, 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 source stone.
That piece of stone can be as big as a human head, weighs more than ten kilograms, and is shaped like a reclining cow.
"This stone must come from the source, it's just a matter of how much." Master Yuan nodded.
"Have you chosen?" Liu Chengen glanced at Ye Fan.
"Wait a little longer." He was a little unsure, and he was tainted with the smell of magic soil. When he identified the origin stone, he encountered a lot of trouble, and he always felt hazy and difficult to grasp.
"What is there in that weird place, even the stones are soaked." Ye Fan ruled out 20 fake origin stones and chose from the remaining 38.
"There are too few stones in this courtyard." The second fool complained in a low voice, dissatisfied.
"This is a stone mined from the edge of the ancient mine in the early days. It would be good if you can transport dozens of pieces. Most of them have been 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 Da Neng of the Eastern Wasteland, the royal family of Zhongzhou, and the giants of the Northern Territory haunt there all the year round. Even the 'ancient materials' obtained from the ancient mines in the early days 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 Workshop shook his head, and said: "This is already considered cheap, the price of the source stones shipped to the Holy City is sky-high, and most of the stones are more expensive than pure source stones."
"No way, who would be taken advantage of like that?"
"You don't know this. When you reach that level, what you gamble is no longer the pure source, but something more valuable contained in the source."
Someone next to him nodded in agreement, and said, "Origin stones contain too many secrets, and sources are not the most precious. In these seemingly inconspicuous stones, there may be peerless treasures."
Ye Fan finally chose the stone material. It was a cyan stone with light yellow veins on it. This piece of material was not very big and could weigh more than ten kilograms.
Everyone was completely speechless, thinking that his choice of stone was too 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, there will be some watermelon seed-like grains, and it is impossible to produce large pieces. Your stone weighs more than ten catties, which means it will cost more than one catty. The pure source, the gain outweighs the loss.”
This stone has clear patterns on it, which are really like the stripes of a watermelon, and it does match its name.
"Even if you make dozens of 'melon seeds', you can't exceed one or two weights. It is definitely a sure bet."
Among the onlookers, a few old people kindly reminded him, but most of them were mocking.
"It's better for me to pick one with my eyes closed than this 'watermelon stone', you little mud monkey, hurry back to the mine, this place really doesn't suit you."
"I don't know this kind of common sense stuff, so I'm ashamed to gamble on stones. A blind cat can't always run into a dead mouse."
Liu Chengen shook his folding fan, showed a mocking smile, walked around the watermelon stone, and laughed loudly: "Good stone!"
The people around him also laughed, slapped the watermelon stone, and kept teasing.
"A good stone, ordinary people really can't choose it."
"Yeah, anyway, we normal people dare not choose."
"If Baolai is cut out in a while, I will really swallow the stone skin this time, and gain a lot of insight."
"What did you say?!" The second fool looked at the person seriously, and said, "This time I can see clearly that it was you who said it. If you dig out a good source, will you really swallow the stone skin?"
"That's right, I said it." A young man beside Liu Chengen sneered, "Watermelon Stone also wants to cut something good, so go ahead and make it your dream."
"Everyone has seen it, you have to testify that he will swallow the stone skin at that time." Wang Shu stepped forward and said this to the people around him.
"Cut stone!"
After Master Yuan paid homage to Yuanshen, he stepped forward with his weapon in hand, and cut Liu Chengen's stone with his knife like a dragon and snake.
"What a pure source."
As soon as the several kilograms of stone skin was peeled off, there was already light coming out. There was no trace of impurities in the exposed source, and the whole body was crystal clear and very clean.
Soon, everyone exclaimed again, the source was gradually dug out, and it weighed a full four catties, which was already very valuable for stone gamblers of this level.
"As expected of the stones quarried from the edge of the ancient mine in the early days!"
You know, a mine can only produce one or two catties, but this stone has produced so much.
"Cut 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.
"Crack!"
Master Yuan didn't delay, and immediately cut the watermelon stone, the old skin fell to the ground, and soon peeled off most of the stone layer.
"It's really the best, there's not even melon seeds, haha... It seems that there is no harvest." The person who said that he would swallow the stone skin earlier gloated at his misfortune.
At the end of the cut, it was no longer the size of a pigeon egg, and everyone understood that it was a white stone with nothing.
Even Ye Fan sighed, feeling that the stones brought back from the edge of the ancient mine in the early days were too evil and difficult to grasp.
Master Yuan threw the stone the size of a thumb on the ground, but didn't chop it up thoroughly.
"Watermelon stone, more or less can cut out some watermelon seeds. The stone you chose is really excellent. Not a single grain came out. It seems that I can't even swallow the stone skin. Alas, I really want to try it." What's the taste?"
"Your second grandpa's!" The second fool felt breathless and kicked out the small stone on the ground.
"boom!"
A small stone the size of a thumb bumped into a big stone and shattered on the spot. At this moment, a dazzling light rushed out, and the rich aura couldn't be melted at all.
"This... a treasure is out!" Someone exclaimed.
Several figures rushed forward, and Ye Fan was faster than them. He was the first to approach and put the dazzling light cluster in his palm.
"What is the source of this?"
In the palm of Ye Fan, there is a rice grain-sized object, which is very small, but its brilliance is shining, which is very miraculous.
"Ancient Insect Origin!"
"It's really the source of ancient insects. This is a source of spiritual insects sealed in the source."
"That's right, it's indeed a spirit worm from the ancient times, but it's too young."
"Don't think it's too small, this small bug the size of a grain of rice is enough to weigh dozens of catties."
It was too late for Master Yuan to regret, wishing to slap himself a few times. They manipulated and secretly cut some sources, and missed the most precious ones without thinking.
In the palm of Ye Fan, there is a small insect the size of a grain of rice, which is crystal clear and formed from the source.
"That's right, it's the kind of ancient insect that specialized in food sources before the ancient times, and it condenses the source essence all over its body. It is a special kind of spiritual insect."
A fiery red source the size of a finger belly is worth ten catties of pure source, while an ancient insect source the size of a grain of rice is worth tens of catties of pure source. One can imagine how precious this ancient spirit insect is.
"The ancient insect source can be used as medicine. There are some ancient secret recipes in all the holy places. They are all needed when refining medicine. If they are sold in the holy city, they will be worth a hundred catties of pure source."
This is really surprising, but Ye Fan feels a little unbelievable that a small bug the size of a grain of rice has such a huge value.
"This is not an ordinary bug. It has been extinct for countless years. Before the ancient times, it ate the source and spit out the source essence. It is very rare."
Rong Xiang's people who gambled in Shifang are almost regretting it. If they knew this, when they did it, they would choose this source no matter what.
Gambling such a rare source of ancient insects will inevitably spread throughout Pingyan City, and the value of pure sources of tens of catties or hundreds of catties is already considered a very considerable amount here.
At this moment, Liu Chengen's face turned completely green. The source of ancient insects is very rare, and the price is equivalent to a hundred catties, so he can't afford it at all.
"It's unreasonable to be able to cut out such a heterogeneous source." Everyone around Liu Chengen felt incredible.
The second fool stepped forward happily, and took Liu Chengen's resource bag, and even put away the piece of resource that he cut out.
"You owe us more than ninety catties now, what do you think we should do?" The second fool raised his chest and raised his head, speaking very forcefully.
"This..." Liu Chengen was in the mood to jump into the river, and his face was embarrassed. If he was in the wilderness, he couldn't help killing people to silence him.
"Mr. Liu is a hero of the Qingxia Sect, so naturally he won't renege on his debts. Just rest assured, he will pay you back in the future." The people around Liu Chengen scolded.
"Who are you scolding? You have to remember that he owes us." Wang Shu stepped forward, staring at that person, and said, "You were the one who said it just now. If you cut Baolai's words, you 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, relentlessly, grabbed the man's collar and made him swallow the stone skin.
There was a roar of laughter all around.
If it wasn't for the deep background in Gambling Stone Workshop, fighting is not allowed, this person would have turned his face a long time ago, and it is extremely embarrassing at this moment.
"You... let go!"
"Admit the bet and admit defeat. You said you want to eat stone skin. If it is a man, don't break your promise and eat it for me."
This person lost all face, wished he could find a crack in the ground, gritted his teeth, took out half a catty of water, stuffed it in the hands of the fool, and then ran away in despair, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Liu Chengen was also extremely ashamed, bit his bullet, borrowed a pen and paper from Rongxiang's bettor in Shifang, wrote an IOU, turned around and left without looking back.
Ye Fan walked around Rongxiang Gambling Stone Workshop, and found that there were too many cheats, so the three of them turned and left without staying too long.
At this moment, it was close to noon, and the others had also dispersed, planning to find a place to eat and go to Yaochi Xianshifang in the afternoon.
"It's really comfortable today..." the second fool yelled.
Wang Shu is also a teenager at heart, very excited and excited, said: "The source of ancient insects, worth a hundred catties, is really too dreamy!"
Ye Fan did a small test with a sledgehammer, and felt that "The Book of Yuantian" is unpredictable, and it is indeed a wonderful scripture in the world.
He felt that after going back, he could be promoted to the secret realm of the Dao Palace. The source of production in the Northern Territory is a sacred land for him, and it can continue to transform.
The three chose a restaurant, drank in the private room, and did not leave until an hour later.
Yaochi Xianshifang is located in the eastern district of Pingyan City. It has a quiet and elegant environment, and there are many ancient trees planted around it, casting a large area 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 Fairy Stone Workshop, Ye Fan noticed that there were several old people with extraordinary temperament, standing outside the crowd, discussing something softly.
"The price of the source 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 limited to just one eye. It seems to have cut out fresh magic bones, and the value is inestimable."
Several elderly people with extraordinary temperament were talking softly.
"These old clappers are getting more and more mysterious." The second fool stood not far away, listening to the real thing, and whispered, "The more you talk, the more unreliable you are. If you go on, the fairy flying in the stone, the most beautiful woman in the world, It all came true."
Wang Shu also teased softly: "The older people are, the more they tend to think wildly. From their point of view, there is everything in the Origin Stone. Even if a heavenly book is unearthed, it is not impossible."
"What do you two little mud monkeys know?"
Those old people had very good ears, and when they heard their words, they turned their heads and stared at them.
"Yuan Nai is the rarest spiritual thing in the world, it can conceive anything." An old man said solemnly: "Those things you mentioned have actually been unearthed."
"Old man, your beard is white, why are you still talking so muddled, aren't you a little crazy." The fool's words can really choke people to death, and he can't be euphemistic at all.
"Damn it, what are you talking about, little bastard, can you talk?!" The old man was so angry that his beard pouted.
Wang Shu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he tugged at the corner of the foolish man's clothes, and then stepped forward to make amends, saying: "Old man, don't take it to heart, my brother is too real, he can't speak with his head, there is no need to be as knowledgeable as him."
"According to the records in the ancient books of the Northern Territory, hundreds of thousands of years ago, that is, in the ancient times, a peerless beauty was really dug out, and she walked out of the source of the gods." One of the old people said again, "It's a pity, The Holy Land chased and intercepted her, but let her escape."
"Really?!" The second fool poked out his long neck, leaned forward, asked a few old people, and said, "How big is that? Is that woman a monster or a god?"
Not far away, Ye Fan also had a heartbeat and listened quietly.
"Stay alone, I don't bother to talk to you." One of the old people was very displeased with the fool.
"The source contains the secrets of heaven. There is a reason why the royal family of Zhongzhou has peerless masters sitting in the holy city all year round to buy strange stones at any cost."
"I've also heard people say that it seems that the ancestors of this family got a heavenly book from the source, which made them rise unstoppably..."
Ye Fan's heart was shaken, which was really surprising.
Er Lengzi and Wang Shu looked at each other even more in blank dismay, feeling like listening to a story about a god.
"I said old man, are you reliable in speaking, and there are books in Yuanzhong?" The second fool scratched his head.
"I said, you little bastard, why do you speak so badly, why don't you stay cool!" Several old men walked aside with dark faces, ignoring him.
Ye Fan couldn't calm down, the source stone contained too much fog, which was more complicated and mysterious than he imagined.
He was fortunate to have obtained the "Book of Origin", and with the strange scripture in his hand, he would be able to rule the world in the future, and everything could be revealed.
"It seems that this buried stone not only contains a source, but also something more rare."
In this vast red-brown land, there are endless secrets buried, waiting to be explored.
