Chapter 400: Journey to Zhongzhou Practice makes perfect
The eyes of the surrounding monks all fell on those rough stones, but Yi Cheng's eyes were completely attracted by the cutter in the craftsman's hand.
Such as the clouds and water, the river is endless, every time it cuts down, it seems to be effortless, the hardness of the original stone can be easily seen, although it is just some ordinary stones, but this knife is also made of mortal iron, because the magic weapon is too tough, if you are not careful, you will hurt the jade in it, so this knife is naturally not so sharp.
Each time he went down, the stones cut were different, but after Yi Cheng looked closely, he found that there were almost no chips of these cut stones, as if they were originally put together, and he just took them apart.
Yi Cheng looked at the other craftsmen again, and none of them seemed to be comparable to the knife skills of the craftsman he observed.
For an entire afternoon, Yi Cheng had been standing there watching the artisan cut the jade.
It seems that the late stage monk of the Jiedan was really unlucky, and ten pieces of jade in a row, but he still didn't open a single jade above the green one.
On the eighth day, Yi Cheng didn't go anywhere, he came directly to the gambling jade stall, and quietly watched the craftsman open the rough stone.
On the ninth day, Yi Cheng was still like this, for a whole day, he didn't do anything, just looked at the flowing knife technique, as if he was fascinated.
On the tenth day, because he was going to participate in the auction, Yi Cheng did not go to the jade stall.
The monks who participated in this auction were all in the Dan period, and there seemed to be one or two seniors in the god transformation period, and there were a lot of good things, but what made Yi Cheng depressed was that most of them were of no use to Yi Cheng, and very few of them were needed by themselves, but they couldn't buy them, not because Yi Cheng's spirit stones were not enough, but because the things that Yi Cheng valued were almost all those seniors in the god transformation period, even if Yi Cheng had more spirit stones, he didn't dare to grab things from the monks of the god transformation period.
Strength, Yi Cheng cried out again in his heart.
Seven-Leaf Green Lotus, Soul Forgetting Grass, Purple Magnolia, Golden Silk Blood Python Demon Pill, Void Ten Thousand Gold Iron, and Five-level Array Disk
Hey, these are all the best materials for refining the five-grade pills and magic weapons, Yi Cheng can only sigh with admiration
However, although there are regrets, Yi Cheng's harvest is still not small, and a lot of four-grade materials and spirit grass have been collected, and it seems that the auction here is still worthy of its reputation.
The day after the auction, Yi Cheng went to the place where he gambled on jade, but the craftsman that Yi Cheng observed today did not live and was idle in the stall.
Seeing this, Yi Cheng stepped forward and bought a piece of 30,000 yuan rough stone, came to the craftsman, and said, "What's your name?" Help me get this stone open! ”
The slightly old craftsman looked at Yi Cheng, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Senior, everyone else calls me Yuan Laodao, if you open a stone, let others open it, I have bad luck in the past two days, and I can't open any good stones!" ”
Yi Cheng naturally didn't expect this gambling stone to make money, so he said: "You don't have to care, just open it for me, that Taoist friend was a little unlucky a few days ago, and it has nothing to do with you, you just have to open it for me." ”
"Yes, Senpai!" Yuan Laodao heard Yi Cheng's words, it seemed that he knew what happened a few days ago, and he saw that Yi Cheng was a little familiar, as if he had been observing in front of the stall in the past few days, maybe he was an expert, and this could really be a good jade.
Yuan Laodao took out his own cutting knife, only adjusted it slightly, put aside distracting thoughts, and concentrated on opening the stone for Yi Cheng.
"Why is there still someone who invites Yuan Laodao, he has opened every good thing for five consecutive days."
"People have good skills, and besides, they haven't opened good things in the past five days, who can be sure that they won't be able to open good things today?"
Yi Cheng looked at Yuan Laodao quietly, one of them opened carefully, and the other looked carefully, which became a special combination here.
And in the next period of time, Yi Cheng's performance completely silenced those monks who admired the tens of millions of gambling stones a few days ago.
Almost not picky at all, the rough stones are going one by one, and only let Yuan Laodao open alone, from morning to night, in addition to giving Yuan Laodao enough rest time, the rest of the time is not idle to open the stone.
In a month's time, Yi Chengshao said that he also spent 200 million spirit stones, but the value of the jade harvested was less than 30 million.
Yi Cheng's big spending, immediately spread all over the real Xixuan City, and all the monks knew that there was a crazy monk gambling on jade.
Yi Cheng was directly rumored to be a young master with great momentum, a master who is not bad at all, just to have fun and excitement.
Ordinary monks just thought it was a pleasure, but they were so happy that the boss and Yuan Laodao.
Although Yi Cheng has been losing money, as long as he opens a slightly better jade, Yi Cheng will give Yuan Laodao some color heads, which makes Yuan Laodao have no complaints about such hard work, he has earned more than usual in three years this month, and it is strange to complain.
Except for the day of the auction, Yi Cheng gambled on jade in the jade shop for two consecutive months, and he spent at least four or five billion yuan to buy the original stone, but the value of the jade will not exceed 100 million.
Although the price of the jade shop has not changed recently, he has also put away all his small pieces of jade and replaced them with large pieces of jade, but Yi Cheng did not react to this, and still let Yuan Laodao open it correctly.
On the last day of the second month, the owner of the jade shop found Yi Cheng and said that he had a piece of excellent rough stone of excellent quality, worth 10 million, and he didn't know if Yi Cheng wanted to open it.
After this period of contact, although Yi Cheng did not dare to say that he was proficient, he also had some understanding of jade, and after seeing the giant rough stone, he nodded but should come down, but because the volume of this rough stone was too large, at least three zhang square, so they said that they would come to cut it on the second day.
Early the next morning, Yi Cheng came to the stall, but was startled by the crowd on the third floor and the outer three floors here, and the number of onlookers was more than ten times more than before.
Because many people know that Yi Cheng spent 10 million spirit stones to buy this so-called treasure of the town store that has been talked about by five people for several years, they all came to see what could be opened in it.
Yuan Laodao saluted Yi Cheng and was about to step forward to open the rough stone, but was stopped by Yi Cheng.
"Brother Yuan, I've been watching you open the original stone for the past two months, and today I want to try it myself, I wonder if the old brother can tell me what the trick of this opening stone is?" Yi Cheng asked.
"Do you drive it yourself?" Yuan Laodao was a little surprised, this stone has nothing to do with cultivation, it is completely practice makes perfect, and he doesn't dare to start casually without a few years of hard practice.
"Yes, I'll drive it myself!" Yi Cheng did not hesitate.
Yuan Laodao and Yi Cheng have also become familiar with each other a lot in the past month, and Yi Cheng has increased his income by more than ten times.
But this thing was bought by the net worth flower spirit stone, this Yi Cheng is not like the master of the spirit stone, so Yuan Laodao did not stop it anymore, handed over his own cutting knife to Yi Cheng, just cautiously explained to Yi Cheng the precautions for cutting the original stone, and then said solemnly: "In fact, there is no difficulty in opening the stone, that is, practice makes perfect, I can only be so skilled as I am now after hundreds of years, the most important thing is to understand this stone, it has its own texture like trees, and you can naturally be handy when you find these." ”
"Textures? I see, thank you Brother Yuan! Yi Cheng seemed to have a sudden realization, and Yuan Laodao's words made what Yi Cheng had been pondering suddenly clear.
Yi Cheng structured the cutter, came to the boulder here, reached out to touch the boulder, closed his eyes and felt it carefully.
