In addition to the necessary inns, restaurants, and pharmacies, the most common is a large number of mineral-based shops: selling turquoise jewelry, turquoise knick-knacks, turquoise-derived ore rough stones, and ore-refining tools...... There are countless of them, and sometimes dozens of shops on a street do the same business.

Huo Rendong and the four of them wandered around several times, bought a bunch of turquoise jewelry and small accessories, and saw that they were rich and wealthy, and they looked like they were wronged in other places, and finally an enthusiastic merchant recommended a new way to play - gambling stones.

"Gambling stones?"

"That's right." The merchant smiled, looking at them as if he had seen a gold ingot, "A few immortal masters can know that the veins of the Thousand Machines Pavilion are unique in the entire cultivation realm, and the turquoise produced here is different from other places. This gambling stone is only open to big customers in Songcheng, if it weren't for a few extraordinary people, I wouldn't tell you more. ”

Forget it. But Huo Rendong and Song Yu still played the image of the pampered lady very seriously, showing a very interested look, and finally understood the rules when the merchant explained it carefully.

Monks who spend a certain amount of spirit stones in Songcheng can have the opportunity to enter the Thousand Machine Pavilion Mine. Of course, these caves are open to the public, and there are no secrets inside.

The mine has long been filled with freshly mined, uncut rough stones, because turquoise has many associated ores, such as magnesite, phosphine alum, etc., which are not valuable. The monks could spend their own money on the rough stones, whatever was found in them would be their own.

The veins are so big, there are so many pits, where there may be good things, and what shape of rough stones may produce good things, all of which are extremely testing the monk's eyesight.

If you are lucky, you can find expensive high-grade turquoise at once, and harvest a large number of spirit stones, and if you are unlucky, you may only be able to mine cheap associated ores, and you will lose all your money.

Compared with the selection of finished products in the store, the handwriting of the original stone is obviously bigger and more exciting, which not only attracts many monks from the surrounding area, but also attracts monks from afar to gamble on the stone.

Huo Rongdong immediately asked, "Where can I gamble on stones?" ”

"You can lead all the immortal masters to the mine, you don't know, the Thousand Machines Pavilion has a lot of constraints, if there is no local recommendation, outsiders are not allowed to approach the mine." Merchants recommend themselves.

Qi Ci, who was standing behind, nodded: "Then it's hard for you." After that, a spirit stone leaked out of his sleeve, which happened to fall into the hands of the merchant, and the other party smiled from ear to ear.

The local merchants of Songcheng were obviously accustomed to such solicitations, and he took the four of them out of the city, and after about half an hour's flight, he stopped at the foot of a dusty mine.

There is a small town at the foot of the mountain, the scale is not large, and there are people coming and going, but there are no inns and taverns in the town.

The merchant took Huo Rendong and the four of them to a small wooden building on the edge of the town, and when they saw a person who looked like a steward, he said respectfully: "Steward Xiao, these immortal masters from other places want to try gambling stones." ”

As soon as the steward heard this, he gave up the work at hand, and greeted the guest with a smile: "Several immortal masters have come from afar, have they ever played gambling stones before?" ”

Qi Ci stood in front of him and shook his head for a long time: "No." ”

"In that case, I'll explain it to you below." Steward Xiao took out a yellow paper map from his sleeve and spread it out, "A few people, please see, this is our ore vein map, and now there are a total of thirty-two mining caves that develop gambling stones, which can be divided into four products: Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang." ”

Huo Rongdong looked down and saw that the thickest vein was drawn on the map, spreading from north to south, and countless branch-shaped branches were separated from the east and west sides, and many dots were marked with cinnabar on each line, and the grade was marked with the small characters of the fly's head in the yellow of heaven and earth next to it.

"The grades are based on the quality of the rough stones that have been excavated in the past, and there is a big difference. The price of the four products is very different, the yellow product is 200 rough stones, the Xuan product is 400, the earth product is 500, and the heavenly product is 700. Steward Xiao asked, "I don't know where the immortal masters want to go to select goods?" ”

Qi Ci seemed to smile: "Naturally, where the probability of green pine blooming is high, where to go." ”

Steward Xiao: "The immortal master is so courageous. ”

He casually agreed, but he didn't think so. This kind of monk who came from other places is stupid and has a lot of money, and once the gambling stone is on the head, it is not uncommon for all his wealth to be lost in Songcheng.

Qi Ci gave Huo Rongdong a look and motioned for her to pick a place.

Huo Rendong was a little embarrassed, thought about it, and casually pointed to a small red dot on the map: "Let's go here." ”

Xiao Zhangshi glanced at it: "Xuanpin Mine, No. 14." ”

"Okay, then let's take a look." Qi Ci paid the deposit and added casually, "I want to see what good things can be found in Songcheng." ”

Steward Xiao smiled: "I will not disappoint you." ”

He went to the mine with four people. broke through three checks in a row, and Huo Rendong and the others were able to get close to the mine entrance.

When I saw the true face of the Qianjige mine, I found that it was even more vast than I imagined, with endless mountains, but the loss of vegetation in the mountains, the sparse vegetation and the bare rocks, on the surface, it was a bare and ugly barren mountain range, and it was hard to believe that there were expensive minerals buried underneath.

"Guys, we're here." Steward Xiao stopped at a sunken mine mouth and carefully compared the red numbers, "Xuanpin No. 14, this is it." ”

He turned around, and his little eyes revealed shrewdness: "It's just that I have to tell you the rules of the Immortal Master Qianji Pavilion Mine Cave: First, the mine cave with a green mark at the door, outsiders must not enter, in case of any danger, it is not good." Also, you are not allowed to walk around without a buddy. The second is to pay money with one hand and deliver the goods with one hand, and can also be mortgaged by property, but there must be no theft. ”

As he spoke, he glanced in a certain direction, and the meaning of the warning was overflowing.

Qi Ci and the four of them looked in the direction he was looking at, and sure enough, they saw that in this mountain range, there were small sentry boxes, and there were foundation building monks on duty inside. In addition, every once in a while, there will be mine guards patrolling, and the rules are quite strict, just like the barracks.

Qi Ci sneered, his disdain overflowing: "Heh." ”

Shopkeeper Xiao didn't show any annoyance, he just stretched out an arm to point the way: "There are already guys waiting inside, all the immortal masters, please." ”

Several people looked at each other and walked towards the dark cavern.

Although there are more rules and strict surveillance, this is the only chance they can get close to the turquoise mine, and if they want to explore the secrets in the Thousand Machines Pavilion, they have to be open-minded.

The bigger the behemoth, the more sparse and rotten it is, and it is easy to find a grain of rat poop that has spoiled the porridge.

The mine is lit with cold fire lamps around the mine, which is not easy to cause fires. It is full of all kinds of rough mines, and the purchase price of the rough of the Xuanpin mine is posted on the wall.

Huo Rongdong observed, and found that the largest rough stone was only the size of a melon, and the small one was only the size of an apple.

The guys waiting inside had dark faces, and when they saw them, they skillfully introduced them, telling them that they could choose to open the rough stone themselves or choose to let them do it for them. Then they stepped back and said nothing, and told them to enjoy the pleasure of gambling on the stones.

Song Yu glanced at the guys who were closely watching behind him, and asked in a low voice, "What now?" ”

Huo Honeysuckle pretended to pick a stone: "You choose." ”

Song Yu saw that the other three were looking at him, and he couldn't say something private, so he could only point to a flat rough stone casually, "That's it!" ”

Hearing this, Huang Zhu happily paid the spirit stone, casually took the iron tool in his hand, shook it, and waved it lightly on the surface of the original stone.

A layer of stone skin was peeled off, everyone leaned over, and the guy grinned: "Congratulations to this fairy girl, you have opened a piece of associated mine, maybe you can take it home to make up a corner~"

Song Yu: (艹艹艹)......

The guy looked at them as if he was wronged: "Immortal masters, do you want to continue to drive?" ”

Song Yu couldn't be angry, so he rolled up his sleeves immediately: "Open!" Of course it's open, I, I'm ...... Good sister, or are you coming? ”

Huo Rongdong pursed his lips and looked at her, and sure enough, he lowered his head and carefully selected the rough stones that were piled up high on a small mountain.

Qi Ci took the yellow sword and walked over, "I'll come." ”

Huo Rongdong chose a piece, and he went down with a sword.

There was a roar of "bang bang", and the dust from the cracking stone skin almost made the guys face smudge.

When this earth-shattering movement finally stopped, they wiped the soil off their faces, and were a little unhappy: "What did the immortal master prescribe?" ”

Huo Rendong turned around and raised the small jade in his hand with a smile: "Does this count?" ”

The guys looked at it intently, and they were so shocked that they almost didn't hold their expressions. I saw that the unattractive nun was full of turquoise mines under her feet, although they were not big, but they were all bright in color, and they were of the highest quality.

"How is this possible...... "The chance of turquoise being opened in the Xuanpin mine is only 30%, and it is normal for them to open associated mines.

On the side, Song Yu approached Huang Ji and whispered: "Sister's luck has always been against the sky. ”

And Huo Rendong was not stingy at all, and directly threw the apple-sized turquoise in his hand and fell into the arms of the guy: "I've sent you." ”

This thing can earn a lot of spirit stones by selling it directly to the shop, and the guy quickly put it in his pocket, and the smile on his face was much more sincere.

"Fairy Gu is lucky, but do you want to continue to drive? Why don't we go to the Tianpin mine? ”

Huo Rongdong shook his head, revealing an expression of disinterestedness: "The rough stones in the Tianpin Mine are only so big at most, right?" I want to make a set of turquoise Taishi chairs for my grandparents, and I need large pieces of rough stones, which are too small. ”

"This ......," the guy showed an embarrassed expression and politely refused, "so that the fairy aunt knows that there are rules in the Qianji Pavilion mine, and rough stones that exceed the size are not allowed to be sold." ”

Huo Rendong smiled and said kindly: "I'm not embarrassed for you, it's really hard to find a rough stone the size of the Taishi chair, but it's not impossible to put two or three pieces together." You walk around the mine every day, and I don't believe you've never seen that big of an ore. ”

The fellow visibly hesitated, exchanging glances with his companion next to him.

The other person shook his head quickly: "Immortal Gu atonement, the rules of the Thousand Machines Pavilion are strict, and if we violate the regulations, we will also be punished." ”

Huo Rongdong heard what he meant, and threw out a medium-grade spirit stone to him, and said casually: "What kind of rules, it's just pretending." How much can women's hairpin ring jewelry be sold? Pearls, gold and silver, jadeite, how many substitutes there are. ”

"And turquoise is only one color, and it won't take long to get tired of it, so how many young monks can it attract? No matter how strange the mine of Qianji Pavilion is, the size is here, and they just want to sit on the ground and raise the price, and the scarcity is expensive. ”

Actually, that's what the guys think too. Qianji Pavilion does not do the business of large ornaments, and only sells some gadgets, which is simply a fool.

Thinking about it, they glanced at the four of them.

Song Yu was still worried about the fact that he could only open an associated mine, and Huang Fei next to him seemed to be a fool, just holding his head to open a mine for her.

Qi Ci dragged it as if it was twenty-five or eighty-thousand, but with Huo Rongdong's face and cultivation were mediocre, it must be a young master and young lady from a small family who had never seen the world.

Huo Rongdong saw that the two of them were silent, and pretended to be impatient: "Okay, okay, if it doesn't work, no, if it happens, I'll give you another 1,000 spirit stones for running errands." ”

Wealth is moving! The two guys gritted their teeth: "I don't know how big turquoise the fairy girl needs?" ”

"What's this......" she frowned and thought for a moment, "Naturally, the bigger the better, I want to make a set of furniture to honor my ancestors, so the colors can't be very different." ”

The guy hesitated again: "Could it be that the fairy girl still wants to choose herself?" ”

"What, can't you?"

The two looked at each other: "Let's give it a try, it may not work." ”

Huo Rongdong smiled and said, "Waiting for your good news." As long as things satisfy me, money is not an issue. ”

The guys nodded, and they all saw greed in each other's eyes.
