Mercury continued: "But gold seems to be more precious than silver...... Hey, my grandfather must have known the difference in qualifications between our two brothers, so he called me mercury, and he was Shuijin, which is really ...... It's speechless, it's clear that I'm my brother. ”

Lu Yu glanced at Shui Jin next to him.

Then he said to Mercury, "Actually...... I've heard of another thing, which says that there is a kind of metal, which is a liquid metal, which is very heavy, and when you put it in the palm of your hand, it can flow with water, but nothing is clear, and even if you put it on the dirtiest ground, it will remain like a small ball, like a drop of water, and it is very beautiful. Legend has it that there is a mine, mercury and gold are in an associated state, people collect it, the first thing they see is mercury, and after the fire, gold will appear. ”

"Oh, that's amazing, so the mercury is in front? ”

"Hehe," Lu Yu said with a smile: "It's not just that, there is a gas in the air called oxygen, a gas that many creatures rely on to survive, after it is mixed with mercury, it will become a thing called cinnabar, there was a place called Chendi back then, and the cinnabar produced was the best, so it also has the name of cinnabar." It is almost the softest and most fragile thing in the world, but because it is a stone made of a large amount of heavy metal, it can have both the transparent nature of stone and the metallic luster reflected in the light, which is very gorgeous. The finest, all transparent, blood-red crystal-like cinnabar, will reach the gem level, and the price is much more expensive than gold. ”

"Oh?!" Mercury looked surprised, and said with a smile: "There is such a thing, hey, Brother Lu Yu, you are really knowledgeable, you even know this kind of thing, I am afraid that there are not many people in this world who know it, and ah...... You also reassured me that my grandfather would never know what mercury was and what cinnabar was, so he didn't think about these when choosing a name. But then again, I really want to see what this mercury and cinnabar look like, is it really as amazing as you say?"

Lu Yu smiled: "Do you have money?"

"Uh...... Huh?!"

Mercury's eyes immediately lit up, and he said in a trembling voice, "You...... You are indeed the best businessman in the world!"

"Is there any money?"

"Yes...... Yes, yes, yes!"

As he spoke, Mercury immediately took out a money box from the spatial ring.

The excitement is going to be handed over to Lu Yu.

But at this moment, Shui Jin behind him said in a deep voice: "This money was handed over to us by the family for our studies, and my brother is afraid that it will be inappropriate to buy things like this." ”

The corners of Mercury's eyes twitched, and he said a little unhappily: "Go, go, go! What is the purpose of studying? This money has long been divided into two parts, and your share is placed with you, and I haven't moved! Besides, if you can enter the martial arts academy to study, you need to spend money, and I can't get in at all, so it's better to spend this money in a more reliable place!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Shui Jin heavily.

smiled at Lu Yu again: "This...... The money is here. ”

Lu Yu laughed, waved his hand, and the box opened, and he took half of the gold spar and heavenly coins inside, but he didn't take much.

"This thing, although rare, is not precious, it doesn't need so much money, you can take the rest back. ”

"Hehe, then I'm welcome!"

As he spoke, Mercury hurriedly put away the remaining half of the box.

At the same time, Lu Yu stretched out his hand and shook it, and a small silver ball the size of a fist squirmed slightly, and it was suspended in the air with ripples.

Lu Yu smiled: "This is mercury, you can play with it." ”

Lu Yu was not afraid that he would be poisoned, after all, although the mercury cultivation was not high, it was also a person with cultivation, even if he injected mercury into the blood vessels, he would not be able to die, it was fine.

Mercury hurriedly reached out and took it, and the result was ...... As soon as Lu Yu's method of controlling things was loosened, the mercury flowed directly from his fingertips, fell to the ground, and fell into a large pile, as a result, those that were scattered stood up one by one, formed into small beads, rolled on the ground, and some even merged with each other, looking very cute.

"Huh, this is fun, this is fun!"

As he spoke, he immediately squatted down and poked his fingers, having a lot of fun.

Lu Yu smiled, reached out and took out a glass bottle, threw it in front of him and said, "I don't play on weekdays, use this bottle, don't let it get too hot, it will become vapor volatilization." ”

"Okay, okay!"

Mercury immediately packed up 'mercury'.

After the loading was finished, Lu Yu waved his hand again, and on the palm of his hand, a thumb-sized one, extremely exquisitely cut, without a trace of impurities throughout the body, like a pure ruby, appeared a cinnabar gemstone.

Mercury was looking up at this time, and when he saw the cinnabar gemstone, he could no longer control his eyes.

"It's ...... What?"

"Cinnabar...... Jewel. ”

"Gems? I haven't seen them before...... Such a unique gemstone, I have seen much more beautiful than this one, but I have never seen such a unique, and ...... I especially liked it. ”

Lu Yu said with a smile: "How is it? It's not bad, isn't it? This kind of thing, in some places, was originally cheap, the reason why I say that this one in my hand is expensive, because of the quality, this kind of item, the quality of the item has increased by one, and the price has increased tenfold! This piece, whether it is the size or the condition, can be called perfect, and the place that can appear on weekdays can only be used as an exhibition, and it is actually a bit wasteful in the hands of individuals." Moreover, it is so fragile that if you don't use any force at all, if you touch it with your fingernails, you are afraid that you can break it. ”

"So...... Frailty, huh?"

"yes, what's wrong?"

"No, no, no, it's because it's fragile that I find myself liking it more. ”

"Oh? Why?"

"Because...... I felt like I could pamper it. ”

"Huh. ”

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, obviously very satisfied with this answer, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then you wait a minute, I'll make it into a ring and wear it for you." ”

"Oh oh oh!

As Lu Yu spoke, he used platinum to make a ring, put the cinnabar gem in it, and used energy to make a protection on the surface of the cinnabar gem, so that it would not be so easy to be destroyed.

Then it was handed over to Mercury.

He hurriedly took it and put it on his finger.

A jewel the size of a thumb, which is a bit big to say.

But when worn on the hand, it doesn't look big at all, but it gives people a very eye-catching feeling.

In a nutshell...... Smash your eyes.

After Mercury got the ring, she was very happy, and kept waving her palm, but she was worried that it would be damaged, so she was very careful.

Another deal was made.

Lu Yu actually felt a little embarrassed.

Seemingly...... It's time to change someone's pit!

This guy is afraid that all his savings have been cheated by himself.

Speaking of which, Lu Yu's careful liver is still a little ...... Minor pain.

But it's actually laughing.

Crocodile tears only.

While the profiteers were cheating money, many people came down from the passage and stood on this square.

After a while, the passage suddenly flashed with a ray of light, and it disappeared completely.

At this time, a very thick voice sounded in the square at the same time.

"All 1,100 brands, one less, actually 1,099 people, three rounds of election, leaving 11 people as the winner, you can enter the martial arts academy to continue your studies, everyone please get ready, after half an hour, the first election will be held, everyone wait a while, Elder Qinglan will lead you to the first election." ”

With that, the voice disappeared.

And when the sound appeared, no one appeared in the square.

That is, only the voice of the person is heard.

It's a little mysterious.

Everyone looked left and right, looked at each other, and even talked about it, and turned their heads and ears.

But it's all very quiet.

Apparently hesitant to choose one out of a hundred.

The probability is really too low.

Although I had heard it before, and I was mentally prepared, I still felt a little unbearable after hearing it.

At this moment, just as everyone was looking around.

Suddenly, a man appeared in the crowd.

Smiling.

It's really just squinting, so people can't see his eyes at all.

The smile on his face always gives people a sense of ...... It's kind and sinister and cunning, that wonderful mixture.

His appearance startled many people, and they retreated one after another, giving up a lot of space.

Squinted and said, "My name is Qinglan." ”

The people around him immediately said, "Oh, I've seen Elder Qinglan. ”

Qing Lan said: "No, I am Qing Lan, not your elder yet, only the last eleven of you can call me an elder, of course, there may be none." ”

In simple words, two pieces of information are revealed.

The first is that this assessment is absolutely ruthless.

Second, this assessment is not based on rankings, not that the top eleven people will enter the martial arts academy, but ...... The last person left.

To put it simply, eleven people are the upper limit of the number of people selected, and the lower limit is absolutely zero.

His statement made those who were ready to pat themselves embarrassed, and they could only stand next to them with their hands bowed, and they didn't know whether they should put their hands down and hang there...... It's also tiring.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Qinglan continued, "Everyone, please come with me. ”

As he spoke, he dodged and suddenly disappeared.

Follow?

At least let people see it to follow, right?

How can you follow such a sudden disappearance?

Everyone present frantically searched for his traces, looking left and right.

I finally spotted him at an angle ahead.

And he walked so calmly, looking leisurely, but with each step, his figure changed a position, and the distance became farther and farther away.

After everyone panicked, they immediately caught up.

VQ look; E positive, 'edition~} chapter on T, m/

But...... Qinglan's speed is really too fast.

In the beginning, everyone was able to catch up.

However, as time went on, people began to fall behind.

It's not that these people don't have physical strength, but they don't have enough speed and are pulled away.

They followed the assumptions and chased in the same direction, but found that no matter how they chased them, they could not see the big team.

Of course, Qinglan actually changed direction from time to time on the road.

So, just by rushing to the first assessment location, there were already many people who were completely left behind, struggling to support their bodies, maintaining the fastest speed as possible, and chasing a future that had deviated from the direction at all, but was unconscious, and unknown.

Some people ran and cried violently, and tears crackled to the back of their heads, dripping on the faces of those behind them, causing them to cry too.

Immediately, there was a wail.

Among them, Guigongzi Mercury is the first to fail, what kind of cultivation does he have? Speed can't catch up at all.

And his younger brother was really fast, directly surpassing Lu Yu and Mercury, and then disappeared without stopping.

"Leave me alone, you go first, hey...... I didn't expect to see ...... in the first round Well, if you see my family in the future, you must say that I will stick to the end!"

Mercury said with a sad face.

Lu Yu blinked, and then smiled: "By the way, I forgot to ask you all the time, obviously you didn't plan to come in the first place, why did you suddenly come again?"

Mercury was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "Actually...... Sometimes, I don't want to lose. ”
