Frozen Place.

Although it is located in the depths of the ice, the extremely cold wind is blocked from the city.

Li Shuidao and Xia Ruoxue strolled through the streets, looking at the dazzling array of shops around them, as well as the endless stream of bustling people.

Baicao Hall, Lingdan Hall, Refining Hall, Fu Gong Hall......

Almost every market has these ......

The biggest feature of the Frozen Workshop is that there are almost no stalls.

That's a little weird......

Suddenly, a jade shop called "Zhen Yutang" appeared in front of the two of them.

"I'm cultivating artifacts, and I've been suffering from a lack of good materials for a long time, so it's better to take a look." Li Shuidao said with great interest.

Xia Ruoxue nodded, and then entered the "Zhen Yutang" with her husband.

Enter Zhen Yutang.

The store displays a variety of exquisite jade, each of which has been polished to a dazzling degree.

"Daoist friends are very raw, but it's the first time you come to our Zhen Yutang?" The shopkeeper greeted him warmly.

Li Shuidao smiled and nodded, "I heard that Yunmang Mountain produces a lot of precious jade, and I asked the shopkeeper to let me wait for a long time." ”

"Hehe, that's easy to say." I saw the shopkeeper skillfully take out a piece of cyan jade from the shelf, gently hold it in his hand, and show it to Li Shuidao and Xia Ruoxue: "This is Qingxia jade, which only grows in Qingxia Mountain, Yunmang Mountain. This jade can be used to refine wood-attribute magic weapons, and it belongs to the first-order spiritual material. I sell fifty spirit stones here, and I don't have many goods. ”

Li Shuidao carefully observed the Qingxia jade in his hand, feeling the aura and glow it emitted.

"Hmm...... Jade is a good jade, but fifty spirit stones, buy a piece of first-order material, the price is a bit inflated. Li Shuidao put the Qingxia jade in his hand back again.

"Huh...... Gems and jades are generally used as auxiliary materials for refining weapons, and those who can use these materials are at least medium-grade magic weapons. The shopkeeper explained as he carefully put the Qingxia jade back on the shelf, and then continued to introduce the other jades: "In addition to the Qingxia jade, we have some other precious jade. ”

I saw that the shopkeeper took out a milky white jade from the shelf again, and shook it gently, as if there was moonlight flowing in the jade, exuding a soft light. The shopkeeper explained: "The moon stone is formed under the illumination of the moon, and has the essence of the moon. It is suitable for refining water-attribute magic weapons, and it is also a first-order spiritual material, and its value is also fifty spirit stones. There are not many goods, only three pieces. ”

Li Shuidao looked at Yuehua Shi, thought for a moment and said, "Not bad." ”

The shopkeeper continues to show......

I saw that she took out a peculiar piece of jade, and the surface texture of the jade was as delicate and orderly as snake scales. The shopkeeper said: "The snake scale stone is a rare jade, suitable for refining poisonous attribute magic weapons, it is also a first-order spiritual material, worth sixty spirit stones, and there are not many goods, only two. ”

This stone immediately aroused Li Shuidao's interest: "This thing can be used to enhance the toxicity of magic weapons?" ”

The shopkeeper nodded and replied, "Yes, the texture of the snake scale stone is indeed unique, and its poisonous attribute can enhance the toxicity of the magic weapon, making it more deadly and ferocious. For cultivators who practice poison exercises, it is a very ideal spiritual material. ”

"Distinguished guests! This is the Snow Lotus Stone of Cloud Python Mountain. "I saw that the piece of jade was crystal clear, as if it was covered with snowflakes. The shopkeeper said: "The Snow Lotus Stone was formed on the top of the cold snow-capped mountains and has the power of ice. It is suitable for refining ice attribute magic weapons, and it is also a first-order spiritual material. This thing is not rare in Yunmang Mountain, thirty spirit stones, I have a lot of goods here. ”

The shopkeeper took down another piece of golden jade, and the facet of the jade showed a golden luster, exuding majesty and power. The shopkeeper said: "The Golden Lion Bi is a rare jade, suitable for refining metallic magic weapons, worth a hundred spirit stones, and I only have one here." ”

The shopkeeper went on to introduce the other jades, each exuding a unique energy.

It really opened the eyes of Li Shuidao and Xia Ruoxue.

The shopkeeper was dry and introduced for so long, Li Shuidao didn't bother to make a deal with him, and immediately said: "I want three Yuehua stones and two snake scale stones." ”

When the shopkeeper heard Li Shuidao's decision, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. He quickly carefully placed the three moonflower stones and two snake scale stones into the exquisite wooden box, and then handed the box to Li Shuidao.

Li Shuidao took out the spirit stone to pay the fee, and said gratefully: "Thank you for the shopkeeper's enthusiastic introduction, it really opened my eyes." ”

"Huh...... It's all as it should be. The shopkeeper who received the spirit stone also smiled.

"I don't know Zhen Yutang, there is also agate marble or Yun Mang azure crystal?" Li Shuidao asked suddenly.

Agate Marble Stone and Yun Mang Sky Blue Crystal are both collection tasks hanging from the Five Poison Gate, if they can be bought with spirit stones, Li Shuidao decides how much to collect, and concentrates on being a second-tier dealer.

This is also the most important reason why Li Shuidao entered the "Zhen Yutang".

It's a pity that the shopkeeper immediately laughed after hearing this: "What Daoist friends say are extremely precious second-order spiritual materials, and this store only sells first-order spiritual materials, and this second-order spiritual material is not sold." ”

"Not for sale? Is there any? Li Shuidao heard the meaning of this sentence.

"Yes and not necessarily." The shopkeeper shook his head and said.

"If the shopkeeper has anything to say, you might as well have something to say." Li Shuidao said briskly.

"Don't hide it from fellow Daoists, if you want to obtain second-order spiritual materials, there are only two ways, one is to participate in the auction of the Frozen Workshop, and the other is to buy rough stones to gamble on luck, this auction is once a year, Daoists will have to wait for at least half a year, and the only way is probably to buy rough stones in our store and try your luck." The shopkeeper pointed to the corner of the shop, where a large number of dusty stones were piled up, which were Zhen Yutang's uncut rough stones.

"We, Zhen Yutang, buy the rough stone from the outside, and after cutting it, the waste is gone. If the first-order spiritual materials are sold on the spot, the spiritual materials above the second order will naturally be given to the family as soon as possible, and it is impossible to leave them in the store for sale. If you want to be a second-order or higher spiritual talent, I am afraid that you can only buy these stones, and if you are lucky, you may be able to cut them out. The shopkeeper continued.

Li Shuidao walked to the rough stone mining area, he picked up a stone at random, threw it gently, felt that the weight was very light, so he put it down, picked up a larger stone and threw it, and put it down as well.

"Twenty spirit stones for each rough stone, after the Taoist friend chooses it, hand over the spirit stone first and then cut it." The shopkeeper said kindly.

These rough stones are all collected with ten spirit stones, and some even only need a few spirit stones, especially those large rough stones placed at the bottom, which are purely gifted, if you can sell twenty spirit stones, it is naturally a safe and profitable deal.

The larger these rough stones, the more unlikely it is to open treasures, and often the rough stones that can open spiritual materials are those fist-sized rough stones, and the weight is not a way to test the original stones.

Li Shuidao weighed several stones and suddenly asked, "Can I test these rough stones by any means?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled and replied, "As long as you don't damage the rough stone, any method is fine." But if it is destroyed, no matter what the outcome is, you will need to take it away with twenty spirit stones. ”

Li Shuidao nodded, squatted down and began to study......

He took out a small stone and tapped it lightly, listening for the echo.

The silvery-white mana on the palm of his hand slowly seeped into the stone, but it couldn't provoke any response.

Li Shuidao observed the rough stone in his hand and found that its skin was extremely special.

The texture is fine, as if it can isolate all spiritual senses.

"Can you roast it over fire?" Li Shuidao asked again.

"As long as you don't damage the rough itself, of course you can." The shopkeeper said again.

Li Shuidao smiled, a faint green flame came out of his fingertips, and he gently placed it on the surface of the rough stone.

Immediately, the flames suddenly grew larger, and the scorching heat instantly enveloped the entire rough stone.

Then the flames quickly subsided, as if gently brushing against the surface of the rough stone, leaving no trace.

The "Giant Spirit Poisonous Fire" in Li Shuidao's hands has long been controlled freely, it is a delicate carving knife, a gentle flame, and a terrifying poisonous flame that can burn everything.

The poisonous fire was caressed, but there was no reaction......

Li Shuidao began to try it out piece by piece......

Not much......

Then passers-by came to the store to watch.

"What is this person doing?"

"I can't see it, I'm betting on the rough."

"How are you looking at this?"

"It's like a fire touch, but this flame is really unheard of!"

"You can also see stones this way?"

"I've never heard of it."

“……”

Li Shuidao put a fist-sized stone aside.

"This fellow Daoist, don't you want this?" A thin, middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties stepped forward and asked.

"I don't need to." Li Shuidao waved his hand and said.

"Hahahaha...... You don't want it right, I want this piece. The middle-aged man saw that Li Shuidao didn't plan to grab the stone with him, so he smiled and picked up the stone.

Li Shuidao ignored this person at all and continued to use his own method to test the original stone.

And the middle-aged man did not hesitate to take out twenty spirit stones and buy this rough stone.

"Dare to ask Daoist friends to solve stones here?" The shopkeeper asked.

"Of course, right here." The middle-aged man said confidently.

"Okay." The shopkeeper hurriedly called the master to cut the rough stone for the middle-aged man.

And the other onlookers also talked about it, as if they were very confident in the middle-aged man.

Li Shuidao also noticed the expressions of the people around him, but ignored them.

A moment later, a master picked up an extremely sharp knife in full view of everyone, and made a mark about an inch deep on the surface of the rough stone.

"Hey! It seems to be in stock. ”

"There must be goods, and the aura is out."

"This surging spiritual opportunity, this must be a spiritual material."

“……”

The onlookers were amazed.

I saw that the old master cut off the waste skin of the original stone with a knife and took out the precious jade inside.

Finally, a fist-sized piece of jade was taken out.

"It's a snake scale! Such a big piece. ”

"That's at least sixty dollars! No! Seventy spirit stones. It's a lot of money. ”

"This gentleman is really good eyesight, can you help us grow our eyes."

The people around him were coaxed, and the middle-aged man was so complacent that he sold the snake scale stone he had just cut out to "Zhen Yutang" at a high price of sixty spirit stones, and earned forty spirit stones just by his eyesight.

attracted everyone, all envied.

At this moment, Li Shuidao held a thick and black stone, the size of a grinding plate, and put it in front of Master Xueshi.

"I'll buy this." Li Shuidao said lightly with the big stone in his hand.

The calcite master looked at such a large piece of rough stone, his eyelids twitched, and he first said that this knife was cut one by one, and he didn't know when he was going to cut.

"Hahahaha......" The middle-aged man just now couldn't help laughing.

The people around couldn't help but laugh together.

"This fellow Daoist, you are embarrassing the old master, at such an age, don't you have trouble cutting such a big stone? Hahahaha......"

"Fellow Daoists, you might as well listen to me, this kind of big stone is generally impossible to open spiritual materials, even if it is opened, it must only be mortal jade, even if this whole piece of rough stone is all beautiful jade, it is only worth some jade money, not even a spirit stone."

"That's it!" Li Shuidao patted the storage bag and directly took out twenty spirit stones.

The shopkeeper accepted it with a happy face, and the master cut the skin of the black stone with a knife.

Stone chips falling or stone chips......

"This stone skin is really thick."

"It's natural for such a large stone to have thick skin."

"You know what a thick skin is fruitless! The thicker the skin, the easier it is to open waste rock."

"So it's a waste rock."

"It should be! Twenty spirit stones have been lost, what kind of net worth can this kind of thing be done. ”

"You came late, just now this boy made a move with hundreds of spirit stones."

While everyone was talking......

"It seems to be in stock." The sharp-eyed man has seen a glimpse of green.

"It looks like an emerald!"

"There's no inspiration, it's just a mortal material, it's useless."

Seeing that it was just a mortal material, the real master was not as careful as before, the knife in his hand quickly slashed, pieces of stone skin fell, and soon a jade the size of a human head appeared......

Everyone was stunned, and they stared at the jade in front of them in amazement.

The green jadeite exudes an alluring glow, while the red jade in the center is even more eye-catching.

There seems to be a lifelike phoenix in the red jade, ready to fly. Its feathers shimmered with a fiery red glow, exuding a mysterious power.

"Jade in jade, stone in stone, there really is such a rough stone." The middle-aged man's face was full of shock.

The shopkeeper's lips trembled slightly: "Feng ...... Phoenix glass. ”
