Chapter 25: The Stone Workshop

Su Hanshen, who had disappeared for many days, mysteriously appeared beside Yue Yan, looking extremely excited.

"Let's go, brother will take you to see the world" Yue Yan couldn't help refusing, and pulled Yue Yan and walked out.

Luocheng is one of the closest ancient cities to Xiangbei Academy, and Luocheng is located in the east of Nanlin.

After a while, the figures of Yue Yan and Su Han appeared in Luocheng, looking at the endless stream, the ensuing flow of people, the scattered houses, the bustling calls, Yue Yan secretly smacked his tongue, and it was a lively scene. On the streets, there are either elixir sellers, or news sellers, and there is a constant clamor of selling.

Passing through the crowded crowd, the two stopped at a gold plaque engraved with the four big characters of "Xujia Shifang", only to see the splendid palace, the glittering decoration, the lingering palace, everywhere exuding luxury, Yue Yan only intuitively knew that this place was not simple.

"Stop, where are the children, this is not your place to play, get out of here," the guard at the door shouted, ruthless.

I saw Su Han throw out a spirit stone casually, and the guard's face immediately smiled, changing very quickly as if browsing a book, which made people sigh.

As the currency of the five major domains of the Southern Forest, the Northern Territory, the East China Sea, the Western Xinjiang and the Zhongqu, one of its functions is to purchase the original spirit stone, and the so-called original spirit stone is to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, from the stone itself, to remove the stone skin, to the mortal state of the spirit stone conceived in the stone body.

The two of them passed through the gate, and then entered the inside of the stone workshop, the stone workshop is divided into three levels, the heavenly level is the highest, the earth level is second, and the human level is the last, maybe the luck is good in the human level can also cut out the Xuanling stone, but its probability is very small, the original stone of each stone workshop is verified and divided by a special person, and it cannot be placed at will, the higher the level of the stone workshop, the more spirit stones need to be paid, and there is a penny and a penny.

To enter the stone workshop, you need to pay a certain number of spirit stones, each rough stone is marked with a price, as long as you pay enough spirit stones, you can cut the stone.

Yue Yan and Su Han entered the human-level stone workshop, looking at the scattered original stones, either lying, leaning, or oblique, stored in all corners of the stone workshop, lingering with the dense atmosphere, like a fairyland.

"Why did you bring me here?" Yue Yan was puzzled.

Su Han said: "There will be a gambling stone battle in a while, you can bet on the spirit stone"

After a while, there was a noisy sound, and a wave of about ten people arrived first, the leader had a gray beard, a fat body, and a ruddy and shiny face, but he looked a little friendly, and said, "Qin Mountain has not arrived yet?"

Someone replied: "It's coming, it's coming soon"

When the old man heard this, he stopped talking and meditated.

The noise outside the door rose again, and a thin man came into Yue Yan's eyes, his appearance did not match the name of Qin Mountain, and his old cheeks and eyes had been deeply sunken, but his eyes looked bright and breathtaking.

When the two met, they only nodded their heads and exchanged words, but there was a bit of needle-to-wheat meaning.

The competition is divided into three rounds, and two people in each round select the rough stone from the human-level stone workshop, cut it to see the number and grade of the spirit stone, and the number of spirit stones is judged by the same level.

The two of them constantly shuttled back and forth around the human-level stone workshop, sometimes beating, sometimes probing with spiritual sense, and sometimes sketching paintings in the void.

Yue Yan Su Han seemed a little unaware, and he didn't know what the other party meant, and the only thing he could be sure of was to judge the level and quantity of the spirit stones inside the original stone through different methods.

After a short time, the two of them chose their own rough stones, only to see that the white-bearded old man chose a huge rough stone, weighing several tons and several zhang wide, while the thin old man chose a rough stone the size of an adult man.

Yue Yan whispered to Su Han, I am afraid that the thin old man is about to lose this move.

"Oh, how did you find out?" asked Su Han hurriedly.

Yue Yan smiled mysteriously, but did not answer.

After the two of them finished choosing, the next step was to cut the stone, the white-bearded old man laughed loudly, his physical and spiritual power was condensed in his fingertips, turning his fingers into knives, and the stone skin that was cut off continued to fall off, and the faster he cut it, the more he cut it, the more he cut it, and the original tons of boulders were instantly cut off more than half.

At this point, the white-bearded old man slowed down, as if a concentrated old craftsman was slowly carving his own work, and he looked very careful.

As the stone skin continues to fall off, the crystal clear spirit stone inside is gradually revealed in front of people, when the white-bearded old man closes the knife, a dazzling spirit stone is presented in front of everyone's eyes, the size of a human head.

The white-bearded old man was very satisfied with this result, and looked at the thin old man with a smile as he stroked his beard.

The thin old man didn't say much at all, he directly turned his fingers into knives, and swished out to cut the spirit stone, but the more he cut in, the more dissatisfied his face was, and finally cut off the spirit stone that was only the size of a fist, and the thin old man was very angry.

The white-bearded old man smiled when he saw this, and the look in his eyes was ecstatic, while the thin old man had a gloomy face.

At this time, Su Han looked at Yue Yan curiously, his eyes full of doubts.

In the first game, the white-bearded old man won, and immediately entered the second round of the competition, and after a while, both of them had already selected their own rough stones.

Looking at this scene, Su Han said quietly: "Who do you think will win this game?"

Yue Yan looked at the spirit stone chosen by the two old men, the white-bearded old man chose a spirit stone that was only the size of an adult man this time, while the thin old man chose a boulder with a body of about one ton, which was diametrically opposed to the one he chose in the previous game.

"I'm afraid that the winner this time will be a thin old man" Yue Yan said softly, Su Han looked at Yue Yan very suspiciously, quietly waiting for the result this time.

Yue Yan didn't continue to watch, but walked to the human-level stone workshop, carefully observed the spirit stone in the stone workshop, looked left and right, and looked like a master, but in fact, he didn't know that he was looking for the original stone, just a trace of intuition.

"Oh?" Yue Yan felt that there seemed to be a force in his body that instructed Yue Yan to go to a certain corner of the stone workshop, today this consciousness has appeared twice, this is the third time, Yue Yan himself was very puzzled, but still according to the vague consciousness walked towards a piece of rough stone that seemed to have been abandoned in the corner of the stone workshop.

Fortunately, everyone's minds were on the two old men's competition, but no one paid attention to Yue Yan's actions, even if Yue Yan had suspicious behaviors, no one noticed them.

Yue Yan slowly stopped at a rough stone the size of a human head, stretched out his hand to touch the rough stone, the slightly cold stone skin was reflected in his palm, and Yue Yan was about to detect his spiritual sense, when a cheer came to interrupt Yue Yan.

Su Han's figure appeared beside Yue Yan like a wind, and Yue Yan stood up without a trace, as if he was lounging.

"Haha, your vision is really accurate, sure enough, the thin old man won, but how do you know the result?" Su Han looked curious.

Yue Yan shook his head helplessly when he heard it, he couldn't tell Su Han that he was just direct, wouldn't that be lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot?

The third game of the tiebreaker is about to begin, and after the thin foreigner pulls back a game, the original angry look on his face has eased a lot, and the white-bearded old man's face is more dignified.

Su Han had been clinging to Yue Yan's body, and he had to predict who would win again, so Yue Yan could only put it down and go to probe the rough stone in the stone workshop again, which was only the size of a human head, and helplessly waited for the two old men to select the rough stone in the stone workshop.

It seems that the two old men feel that today's selection of larger rough stones can cut out more spirit stones, the last game, both of them found a rough stone weighing five tons, looking at this scene, Yue Yan felt a little funny in his heart, the original white-bearded old man looked at the rough stone that Yue Yan had observed many times, kept thinking, hesitated again and again and gave up, and finally chose a larger volume of the original stone, which also made Yue Yan feel relieved in his heart.

Yue Yan was sure that the rough stone, which was only the size of a human head, was one of the most valuable rough stones among the many rough stones in the human-level stone workshop, and if someone hadn't left it out here, I'm afraid it wouldn't exist here a long time ago.

The thoughts in the hearts of the two old men are indeed consistent with what Yue Yan thinks, if it weren't for the fact that the exchange of raw stones needs to be delivered spirit stones, the larger the volume, the more spirit stones will be delivered, otherwise I am afraid that I would have already moved the heaviest rough stone in the human-level stone workshop to be cut.

"I'm afraid it's the white-bearded old man who is about to win this time," Yue Yan said softly to Su Han.

Su Han is also very concerned about the victory and defeat this time, not the victory or defeat between the two old men, but the prophecy of Yue Yan is very curious, if Yue Yan can accurately predict the result three times, he must have his own special method to identify the original stone, there is such a person around him, then it is not to gamble with others on the stone, to win endlessly?

Thinking of this scene, Su Han's mouth cracked.

Sure enough, as Yue Yan expected, as the stone skin continued to fall in the hands of the two, the number of earth spirit stones cut out by the white-bearded old man in the end was even more.

Looking at this scene, the white-bearded old man's face bloomed, and the originally tight wrinkles seemed to be completely stretched out at this moment, looking at the spirit stone he cut out, and then looking at the spirit stone cut out by the thin old man, laughing wildly.

The thin old man snorted coldly and left, unwilling to stop for a moment.

And at this moment, Yue Yan had already focused all his eyes on the rough stone in the corner of the stone fang.
