Qian Yang and Lao Dingtou walked around the city all day, watching others solve stones piece by piece, but he himself didn't spend a single spirit stone.

To be honest, Qian Yang's heart is still a little itchy.

The down-and-out monk's piece of black sand finally solved a total of thirteen top-grade spirit stones, plus two high-grade spirit stones. The monk was also generous, and threw the two high-grade spirit stones to the understanding stoneman with a shake of his hand, and then communicated with the black-clothed people of the Stone Master Association, and left under the protection of these chengguan.

Originally, Qian Yang had already made up his mind not to buy stones again, his 100,000 yuan finally returned to his capital, and he had no desire to spend them anymore, he felt that compared to the worthless monthly salary of 800 yuan, the risk of gambling stones was obviously not proportional to the return.

But the sudden wealth of the down-and-out monk made his thoughts have to start to waver. That's thirteen top-grade spirit stones! One million each, thirteen is thirteen million!

How much is thirteen million? Qian Yang obviously lacked some concept of such a large number, but he knew that when the Wuliang Valley and the Kaishan Sect were fighting, Tang Qingyuan gave the Kaishan Sect a total of 400,000 spirit stones. And for this mere 100,000 out of 400,000, Chu Nan and Granny Qiu are almost about to break their heads and bleed!

400,000 spirit stones are enough for two clans to fight, and 100,000 spirit stones are enough for two high-level sects to fight. But that down-and-out monk alone made thirteen million in the blink of an eye.

This has to make Qian Yang sigh that people in the city are indeed much better than people in the countryside. He felt that if he also encountered such a stone, the risk or something was really not worth mentioning.

As soon as my heart moved, my hands began to itch. Elder Qian picked and chose from all kinds of stalls, looking at the posture as he planned to try his skills, but in the end, he still didn't buy anything. There is no other reason, the old man next to him has not rubbed his eyes this day, you let the half-hung elder know which one to buy?

Qian Yang glanced at Lao Dingtou more than once, but Lao Dingtou always frowned and did not say anything.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Qian Yang's interest was finally worn out, and he yelled at the old man to "go home", and then pulled the old man's sleeve and walked back.

The main road in the city was forked, and the people on the street were scarce, but the old man's brow was never opened.

Finally, when there was no one nearby, Qian Yang couldn't help but speak: "What's your situation? I said that I don't play gambling stones, and you won't let me go." You won't buy it if you leave me behind, and you won't buy it, what about teasing me?"

Lao Ding's head didn't seem to notice Qian Yang's dissatisfaction, and hesitated to whisper something to himself.

"The head show is funny!" Qian Yang tugged at him.

Lao Ding came back to his senses, looked at Qian Yang and said, "Don't you think there is something wrong with this public market?"

"Something is wrong?" Qian Yang pouted: "I don't know what the right thing should look like!"

The old man squinted his eyes as if reminiscing, and only after a long time did he say, "Don't you think there are a lot of black sand on the street?"

Qian Yang was stunned for a moment: "Black Wusha is originally more than other stones, right?"

"That's not right!" Lao Ding shook his head: "The output of black sand is indeed much more than that of other types of stones, and it is produced in various fields, but its total amount will never exceed forty percent of all stones on the market." But look at today, six or seven percent of the stones on the street are black sand and they look very good on the outside, which is definitely not normal!"

"Didn't you say that the Duobao Chamber of Commerce released the goods!" Qian Yang still heard of some legends.

"Then do you think those black sand on the street look like they were produced in Duobaochang?" the old man's eyes flashed.

Qian Yang narrowed his eyes and recalled for a moment, and then said categorically: "I just think that the stone that solved 13 million is definitely the goods of Duobao Field!"

The old Ding Tou showed a rare smile: "Boy, you learned well!"

Qian Yang rolled his eyes: "I can learn anything well, but I followed you to learn a major with no future!"

Lao Ding didn't bother to answer his words, and instead said, "What about the other black sand on the market?"

Qian Yang shook his head: "Some of them look like Duobao Field, some of them look like other fields, and some of them can't be seen, it must be that you hid your secrets when you lectured, but I should know everything you have said!"

Lao Ding Tou shook his head with a wry smile: "It's not that I'm hiding my secrets, it's just that distinguishing stones needs to be combined with real objects, how many stones have we only seen in this month? ”

Qian Yang nodded: "Okay! Then tell me, which scene are you looking at today's black oosha?"

The old Ding Tou smiled slightly: "I don't recognize it either!"

Qian Yang was stunned and wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth but didn't say anything. In his impression, this should be the first time that Lao Ding Tou confessed on the stone, even if he encountered some inaccurate stones in the past, he could at least say some ways, and what he said was by no means targeted, spit is a nail!

The old man asked again: "Seeing the black sand on the street, don't you think the proportion of collapse is a bit high?"

Qian Yang frowned: "Isn't it normal to solve the collapse?

Lao Dingtou sighed: "It's normal to solve the collapse, but have you seen the appearance of the collapse?"

"What does it look like?" Qian Yang recalled for a moment, and then glared: "You haven't talked about it!"

Lao Ding was stunned: "I haven't talked about it, and my master hasn't told me about it, but the stones have been solved a lot, and you naturally know what the inside of those collapsed stones should be!"

"For example?" Qian Yang was very curious, although he already had plans to give up this industry, but he couldn't help but want to explore when he encountered problems.

"For example, you should know that most of the black sand in Duobaochang is black like lacquer, and the sand is turned strongly, and this appearance will also act on its inside. As soon as Lao Ding Tou mentioned the stone, he immediately became energetic: "The stone in Duobaochang, even if the spirit stone cannot be solved inside, its texture will be close to transparent, and the blue part inside will be mostly striped, but the blue quality is not high or the area is not enough." ”

"What else?" Qian Yang asked.

Lao Lin Tou continued: "For another example, the black sand skin of the Five Elements Field has a faint oiliness on the outside, so no matter whether or not the spirit stone can be solved, its internal texture will be quite delicate, while the black sand skin of the Hidden Sword Field has many rust spots, and there are many black ringworms on its inside; the original stone skin of the Eight Array Field is dry, and there will be many cracks on its inside, and so on. ”

"You mean?" Qian Yang looked puzzled, as if he had thought of something.

Lao Ding hesitated for a moment: "Today I saw a lot of black sand skins, and a considerable part of the original stone has ambiguous appearances, it is difficult to accurately judge which field it comes from, if only a few stones are so normal, but there are a large number of such stones on the market, but I am very puzzled." ”

"You can't recognize it, it's the stone that has a problem?" Qian Yangzui's fault can't be changed.

Lao Ding Tou exhaled a long breath: "Even if the outer skin is put aside, these stones have a more serious problem, that is, their inner texture and the expression of the outer skin are seriously inconsistent! And the most terrible thing is that the internal texture of these stones with completely different external expressions is very similar. ”

"This ......" Qian Yang narrowed his eyes, and the trick of asking his heart had already started to work unconsciously.

At this time, Lao Dingtou asked, "Do you still remember, after these black sand are unraveled today, what kind of state does most of them show inside?"

Qian Yang's eyes lit up, and then the corners of his mouth were hooked: "There is no distinction between skin and flesh!"

"That's right, it's just that there is no distinction between skin and flesh!" Old Ding nodded and showed a sneer: "It's exactly the same as the stone I chose at the stone master exchange meeting twenty years ago!"

Qian Yang subconsciously gasped, what he just said about the indistinguishability between skin and flesh is actually a manifestation of the inside of the original stone, what he said is that after some rough stones are cut, the interior is chaotic, and there is no obvious boundary between the outer skin, white cotton and stone flesh, and the probability of solving the spirit stone is almost none, which is an internal form that the stone solver is most unwilling to see.

In fact, no matter which mine produces rough stone, there may be a situation where the skin and flesh are not distinguished, but the most likely to appear in this form is the warehouse mine. It is an exaggeration to say that no matter how good the external performance of the Cang Stone on the market is, as long as it is unraveled, almost more than half of it will show a situation of no distinction between skin and flesh, which is also the fundamental reason why the Cang Stone is not welcomed in the Western Wilderness.

"Are you saying that those black sand on the street are the same as the black sand twenty years ago, and they were manipulated to deceive people by disguising the Cang Stone as the stone of the old field?" asked Qian Yang Zhengse.

Lao Ding squinted his eyes and said coldly, "What do you think?"

Qian Yang didn't say anything, he was different from Lao Dingtou, maybe with Lao Dingtou's experience, he would feel that the proportion of black sand on the street was slightly more, and the probability of unseparating skin and flesh was slightly higher, which was a very abnormal thing. But with Qian Yang's half-level, he really can't feel this subtle difference.

Without an intuitive impression, it is very difficult to make a definitive judgment.

But even though he was skeptical, Qian Yang's brain habitually began to work. He felt that if Lao Dingtou's judgment was correct, then it seemed that something very interesting had happened.

Qian Yang faintly found a clue, and this clue linked many things together, and unfortunately, Lao Dingtou has always had an unclear connection with these things.

So......

The context in his mind gradually became clear, and Qian Yang slowly smoothed out his thoughts as if he were dismantling the mess. Ignoring the mysteries that could not be resolved for the time being, he had already seen the whole picture of the whole thing.

"Okay, what do you need me to do?" asked Qian Yang, who was in a good mood.

Lao Dingtou pondered for a long time, and finally slowly spoke: "I want to become a resident stone master, I need you to help me a little!"

Qian Yang seemed to know that Lao Ding Tou had this answer, and shrugged his shoulders easily and smiled: "Why should I help you?"
