Chapter 164
And this has to start from the reason for the formation of strange stones, in fact, strange stones themselves are jade. As we all know, jade is very different from those metallic materials, and it does not need to reach a very high temperature to melt, on the contrary, jade needs to reach a very low temperature to melt. ”
"After the jade melts, as the temperature rises, the crystals of the jade melt will gradually solidify. During the crystalline solidification process, some substances will be sealed in the crystal forever, and then absorb the aura in the jade little by little. ”
"After losing the aura, the jade will deteriorate until it becomes an ordinary stone, and the things that were originally sealed in the jade crystal gradually turn into spiritual objects because of the long-term absorption of aura, even ordinary weeds can become elixirs that help people cultivate. ”
"If the original jade crystal sealed the thing is a real herb, then after hundreds of years, thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years, the value of the original herb will become immeasurable, so the ordinary stones that may have priceless treasures in them will be called strange stones, and there will be a special auction venue. In order to make Red Tears understand, Liu Lao's explanation was very detailed.
After Liu Lao finished speaking, not only did he understand the red tears, but other people who didn't know the strange stone understood, and they were surprised by Liu Lao's statement. It turns out that jade can be melted, and the melting temperature is very low.
In addition, Liu Lao did not mention that in the process of melting and solidifying the jade, many mottled substances in the original jade will be separated, and only the essence of jade remains.
Once something alive is wrapped in it, it will not die immediately because the temperature is extremely low, and as the temperature rises when the jade solidifies, the living thing will gradually absorb the aura in the jade crystal during the death process, thus becoming a highly valuable spiritual object, but because the wrapped things are different, the value is different.
If it was originally just a weed, then the value would definitely not be as good as the medicinal herb, but the jade turned into an ordinary stone because of the loss of aura, and ordinary people could not see the contents with the naked eye alone. It is worth mentioning that the jade crystal was originally formed as a whole after solidification, but as the things inside absorbed the essence, the whole piece of jade will gradually crack and be divided into many parts, some of which have something in it and some have nothing in it, so the strange stone auction is also called gambling.
"What if it's a fierce beast sealed in the jade?" Standing aside and thinking for a long time, Red Tears suddenly discovered a very important question, and Lin Xuanzhong was also very interested in it.
"The volume of strange stones that can be auctioned should not be large, and the strange stones that can seal the fierce beast are extremely rare because they are difficult to form. If there really is, then the Nan family will not sell it, because the strange stone that can seal the fierce beast is extremely large, and the appearance even has similar characteristics to the fierce beast itself, and the things inside can be used as medicine even if it is hair, and the overall value is immeasurable. ”
"Hey, it's disgusting," Seeing that Liu Lao didn't say anything but hair, Red Tears couldn't help but mutter. However, no one else felt anything, but they felt that what Liu Lao said was too surprising, unheard of, and eye-opening.
There are no wonders in the world, and now after figuring out the origin of the strange stone, Lin Xuanzhong kept sighing that he really didn't come to the city that never sleeps in vain.
Standing in one place, after Liu Lao finished talking about the strange stone, the six of them calculated which auction they should go to. Because several auctions are held at the same time, it is not possible to go to them all.
Thinking of the pill given by Red Tears Dad last time, as well as his physical problems, Lin Xuanzhong wanted to go to the auction of medicinal materials and medicines. Red Tears wanted to go to the venue where the strange stones were auctioned, but in fact, Lin Xuanzhong also wanted to learn more, but it was more important to understand medicinal materials.
And Qingyi and Mo Lingyun are more interested in the auction of strange stones, and everyone originally had the idea of watching the excitement, but now they naturally want to go where they want. In particular, Liu Lao and Uncle Ren are defenseless wherever they go, and their main task is to protect Red Tears.
Now Red Tears wants to go to the auction of strange stones, but Lin Xuanzhong is the only one who wants to watch the auction of medicinal materials. Since the auction of medicinal materials will naturally have an introduction to medicinal materials, even if you don't have the money to buy them, it's good to have a long insight.
"I don't know which auction Elder Liu plans to go to?" Seeing that the few people next to him were silent, Mo Lingyun looked at the martial arts cultivators who were gathering more and more around him, and immediately asked out loud.
"Boss Ren and I don't ask for it, we still look at the meaning of the little girl," Liu Lao seemed to be thinking about red tears in his heart now because he had promised to find a marriage for his grandson just now.
After Liu Lao finished speaking, Uncle Ren on the side nodded busily, looking like he was only looking at the red tears. On the other side, Mo Lingyun and Qing Yi looked at each other without an opinion, and then the two of them looked at Red Tears in unison, and Red Tears had actually thought about where to go for a long time.
"I want to go to the auction of strange stones," as soon as he finished speaking, Red Tears thought that he didn't know what Lin Xuanzhong meant, so he turned to look at Lin Xuanzhong first and asked, "Brother Qingfeng, which auction do you want to go to?" Following Red Tears' gaze, several people looked at Lin Xuanzhong in unison.
Unexpectedly, Red Tears would ask what he meant, Lin Xuanzhong was a little embarrassed and thought that he was afraid that everyone else would have to go to the auction of strange stones, but he was going to see the auction of medicinal materials. It stands to reason that the auction of strange stones is definitely more interesting than the auction of medicinal materials, but you can't go to the auction of medicinal materials by yourself, thinking like this, Lin Xuanzhong comforted himself in turn.
Going to the auction of strange stones can also give you a long view, so I simply replied directly to the red tears: "Let's go to see the auction of strange stones." ”
"That's good," Mo Lingyun nodded and said, "The strange stone auction is next to the medicinal herbs, and there is the entrance to the medicinal herb auction venue, let's go over there." ”
Following what Mo Lingyun pointed out, what fell in the eyes of several people was the flow of people, the auction had not yet started, and no one was allowed to enter in advance, and now the people who came to see the excitement or wanted to participate in the auction gathered outside the venue.
People are crowded, and there are quarrels in many places, but because they all know the rules of the Nan family, no one dares to make trouble around the venue, and there is also a law enforcement team of the South family around the venue, several rows of people are constantly patrolling in the crowd, and those onlookers will take the initiative to get out of the way when they encounter them.
When a few people finally walked to the entrance of the medicinal herb auction hall, more people gathered around. However, according to the conversations of those people, several people heard that they wanted to go to the strange stone auction, and there were not many of them who actually went to watch the auction of medicinal materials, but there was no place to stand in front of the strange stone auction venue.
I didn't expect the strange stone auction to be so popular, and for a while, several people were embarrassed. Originally, I also wanted to go to see the strange stone auction, but the situation in front of me made several people feel that it would be difficult to squeeze in.
"What should I do?" finally squeezed here, and at this moment, I was very disappointed when I looked at the sea of people in front of me with red tears.
"Let's wait first," I didn't expect there to be so many people, Liu Lao couldn't help frowning, not thinking that they could squeeze through. Mo Lingyun and the others on the side also felt embarrassed, they all knew that it was difficult to squeeze into the crowd. Only Lin Xuanzhong was a little happy in his heart at the moment, constantly thinking that if everyone couldn't squeeze in, he could just go to see the auction of medicinal materials.
For this unexpected joy, Lin Xuanzhong's face looked very relaxed.
It didn't take long for the people in front of them to move in unison, and several people looked forward when they noticed the movement.
"The crowd moved," seeing the people in front of him moving in unison, Red Tears was immediately happy, but soon became disappointed, because Red Tears heard others say that before the venue really opened, everyone had to line up to enter in an orderly manner, otherwise they would be directly invited away by the Nanjia guards around the venue.
By the time a few people saw it clearly, the people in front of them had already stood in countless columns, and the space around them looked a lot larger, but the team was constantly extending backwards.
In order to line up, the people in front kept retreating, and Lin Xuanzhong and the others gradually found that the location of several people was not suitable for queuing, and they had to go back.
Since a few people insisted on going to see the strange stone auction, they followed the crowd and retreated, and when the queue was ready, it was already a few hundred meters away from the entrance of the venue, but fortunately it was still in the square around the venue.
"I didn't expect it to be so troublesome to watch a lively scene, so it's better to go for a walk on the street!" I have been waiting for a while, and there is little hope of watching the auction of strange stones.
Others are okay, follow the local customs, so many people are not waiting, so why not wait more. After all the martial cultivators in the entire square were lined up, as far as the eye could see, it was very spectacular to see columns everywhere, and it was also extraordinary for so many martial cultivators to gather together.
Before the doors of the venue were officially opened, everyone was talking about the auction, and some were talking about their own experiences.
Listening carefully, it didn't take long for Lin Xuanzhong to understand that the auction of strange stones was a gambling stone, and if the auction was right, his net worth would at least increase several times; if he made a mistake, it would not be too much to go bankrupt.
Of course, there are also those who do not lose or make money, but there are very few of them of this type, so in the final analysis, the auction of strange stones is actually a special kind of gambling. It is people's luck and eyesight that are betting, and those who know a lot about strange stones can often judge what is inside the strange stones from the color and appearance. Of course, there are no absolutes.
For an auction with a lot of luck in the gambling stone, buyers and sellers are in the same mood, and the auction of each stone can make people's hearts fluctuate before the facts are presented. Visiting the strange stone auction can be said to be a favorite pastime of ordinary martial arts cultivators.
Sometimes, some people who watch the auction are more nervous than those who participate in the auction when the bidding atmosphere is at its peak, so it's very exciting to watch a strange stone auction, and no one is not interested in such a thing, which is why there are so many people watching the strange stone auction.
After gradually understanding these things, Lin Xuanzhong was even more interested in the auction of strange stones, of course, watching the auction of medicinal materials was still the first thing. In the final analysis, Lin Xuanzhong is most concerned about his own physical problems. Originally, he was a sixth-order martial cultivator, but now he can only be an ordinary martial cultivator, who can accept such a fact.
