Yifang City is so big that there is no boundary.

In fact, there is no exaggeration in this sentence, because Yifang City has no city walls, and all kinds of buildings are scattered everywhere without rules, and it seems that Yifang City has taken out a gesture of embracing the world since the day it existed.

Yifang City is actually a very casual city, there is no planning, no management, and the monks just consciously live according to the rules that have been established for thousands of years. This strange way of life actually comes from the constraints between the major sects, and in the foreseeable future, this pattern should be able to continue.

The monks who live in Yifang City for a long time will have a means to make a living, and this means is often related to the spirit stone primordial, but the people who are really willing to unravel the stone are only very rare.

Aborigines can go to the mines to dig for stones, or they can spend more or less money to buy some stones, but they must sell the rough after they get it. Some people prefer to simply buy low and sell high, while others are willing to take a little risk, and they will try to make some small windows in the stone, hoping to sell the stone for a better price.

But unless absolutely necessary, the aborigines will never completely unravel a piece of rough that looks good, but are more accustomed to leaving the final end of the gambling stone business to outsiders who happen to be here.

The reasons for this are self-evident. The aborigines are well aware that calcing stone is really a foolish act that has no profit at all, and except for a few stone masters, the vast majority of people will not gain the slightest benefit from this trap. If you want to live in Yifang City for a long time, "cherish life and stay away from calcite" is the code of conduct that the vast majority of aborigines abide by.

But for outsiders, the meaning of gambling stones is very different.

Most of them have other sources of livelihood and do not rely on gambling stones for a living. For them, spending a little spare money and taking advantage of a chance to get rich is really a very beneficial activity. If the gambling goes up, everything will be fine, and if the gambling fails, you should spend money to buy a fun, as long as you don't lose your eyes, it is harmless.

The two sides have their own plans, complement each other's interests, and naturally hit it off.

Every year, a large number of gamblers from all corners of the Tianyuan Continent gather in Yifang City, wantonly swaying the spirit stones in their hands. And whenever the five-year rough stone market opens, it will attract countless gamblers to come, for perhaps the ethereal but close "flat land to get rich".

This time, the rough stone market is approaching, and during this time, the flow of people in Yifang City is obviously getting denser day by day, and all kinds of monks have gathered from nowhere, as if they are judging those strange-shaped rough stones in various shops.

On this day, there was another new face in Yifang City. This person's cultivation in the Jindan period is not eye-catching, but the seven-foot height, coupled with a bulging tendon meat, really can't help but make people look sideways.

The stout monk's huge size would bring immense pressure to people, but fortunately, his face was very kind, and his movements seemed to be slower than ordinary people, and this unhurried demeanor undoubtedly greatly reduced the discomfort of others in front of him.

The strong monk walked in front of a shop, but he didn't go far, but he seemed to find something in the corner of his eye, and suddenly turned his head to look inside the shop, and then his eyes shone brightly.

After a few seconds of thought, he smiled shyly and slowly entered the shop.

The shopkeeper was a very charming friar, and when she saw the guests, she hurriedly got up to greet them.

The sturdy monk always had a smile on his face that was extremely incommensurate with his figure, and nodded at the female shopkeeper: "I've seen Daoyou." ”

The female shopkeeper hurriedly raised her hand: "Fellow Daoist, please take a seat." ”

The Sturdy Monk nodded, and sat sideways in the chair next to him.

"What kind of stone do you want to see?" The female shopkeeper didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point.

The sturdy monk stared intently at the beautiful face of the female shopkeeper, but replied with some distraction: "I...... It's the first time I've come to Yifang City, so I don't know how the rough stones here are sold?"

The female shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and said in her heart that it was a chick!

In Yifang City, a pure newcomer like a sturdy monk who no one has anyone with is actually not very popular with the aborigines, because it is too difficult for you to make a novice who doesn't know anything spend a lot of spirit stones. It's just that this kind of newcomer is like a curious baby, and there are a lot of questions, and it is extremely difficult to answer them correctly. What's more, even if you speak dryly, there is a ninety percent chance that you won't even be able to earn a spirit stone in the end.

The smile on the female shopkeeper's face became a little far-fetched, but in line with the duties of a businessman, she could only answer patiently as much as possible: "What do you call a fellow Daoist?"

The sturdy monk smiled shyly: "My surname is Wu, and in the door, everyone calls me Master Wu!"

Wu ...... Master?" the female shopkeeper accidentally almost spit out the spiritual tea she had drunk in the morning. This kind of person who opens his mouth and says that he is a master, she has only heard of it, but it is really the first time she has seen it, especially since the person who said this is still a newcomer who has never bought a stone, and she invisibly adds a sense of joy.

"That'...... Master Wu, are you, you bought the stone to untie it, right?" asked the female shopkeeper with a forced smile.

"Of course!" the sturdy monk nodded vigorously.

The female shopkeeper asked again: "Then you want to buy a rough stone at a high price?"

This Master Wu waved his hand freely: "How much money is not a problem! It's just that I want to buy a lot of rough stones, I don't know how much the shopkeeper can provide here?"

"Buy many?" The female shopkeeper has been in business for so many years, and it is really the first time she has seen such a stone purchase.

After a slight hesitation, the female shopkeeper said: "The scale of the small shop is not large, but the public market is approaching, and some goods are prepared, and more than 100 rough stones can still be taken out, and the master plans to take a look?"

Master Wu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "How much is it in total?"

"Altogether?" The female shopkeeper has opened her eyes this time, this is to buy rough stones? I think you are here to buy potatoes, right?

"In total, more than 200,000!" the female shopkeeper said casually.

"Good!" the sturdy monk slapped his thigh: "I'm going to do it!"

"Is this true?" the female shopkeeper was a little confused.

Master Wu didn't talk nonsense, and as soon as he raised his hand, a large handful of high-grade spirit stones were placed on the table.

"Uh!" the female shopkeeper gasped, held the spirit stone on the table in her hand in disbelief, and counted it silently, a full thirty pieces.

"The master has given too much!" The female shopkeeper really didn't dare to slack off at this time, and her tone was respectful.

"It's okay!" Master Wu waved

Hand: "I don't know how to solve the stone, so I have to trouble the shopkeeper here to help me untie all the rough stones." ”

The female shopkeeper nodded hurriedly: "That's no problem, I'll go and close the store door first!"

Master Wu looked at the graceful back of the female shopkeeper, and while smacking, he showed undisguised appreciation from his eyes.

The female shopkeeper closed the door of the store, turned around and turned out one piece after another of the rough stones from the bracelet she was carrying, and piled them at Master Wu's feet.

Since the female shopkeeper turned around, this young Master Wu has put away his squinting eyes, still showing seven points of shyness and three points of sluggishness, but it is really not good to say that it is a little true and a little false.

"Master, come and see these stones!" the female shopkeeper greeted warmly.

Master Wu looked at the pile of rough stones like a hill, barely straightened his face, and then turned out a banner out of nowhere, and in the surprised eyes of the female shopkeeper, they were inserted one by one in all corners of the store at a very fast speed!

"Master, who are you?" the female shopkeeper's tone was not just strange, but somewhat trembling. If he was not mistaken, this Master Wu actually laid out a formation with a wave of his hand, and she was inexplicably locked in the formation.

If it weren't for the fact that the blue sky and daylight outside brought her a lot of security, and this Master Wu seemed to be quite kind, she even felt that she was likely to scream on the spot.

Master Wu seemed to be a little proud of making the female shopkeeper look discolored, and he was stunned for a while admiring the half-pillar of incense before he hid a wicked smile and explained: "Don't panic, Daoyou, this is a formation used to record, I just want to record the process of calcing the stone." ”

"Record?" The female shopkeeper was still a little panicked, and with a roll of her eyes, she said: "I'm afraid I can't solve so many spirit stones, why don't I go out and hire some stone dissolvers?"

Master Wu flattened his mouth: "I'm not in a hurry, just solve it slowly!"

The female shopkeeper didn't want to stay alone with this scary guy, and insisted: "The master is not in a hurry, but the small shop is in a hurry, the public market will start soon, I still have to open the door to do business, right?"

Master Wu frowned, and said tentatively: "Isn't it good for you to only do my business?" After solving these stones, I will buy a lot more, and the shopkeeper doesn't need to worry." ”

"How many more?" the female shopkeeper hesitated. In fact, as far as her senses are concerned, this Master Wu really doesn't look like a bad person, otherwise the moment the formation is laid down, the Eight Achievements will be completely revealed. But the vigilance in the woman's bones told him that it was extremely inappropriate to stay alone in a confined space with a man, especially a man whose cultivation was higher than himself, and even if there was a temptation from the spirit stone, he should not put himself in such an environment.

So the female shopkeeper forced herself to squeeze out a smile: "Master, let's solve the stone as soon as possible!"

Master Wu's expression showed a disappointed expression that could not be hidden, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally nodded reluctantly.

Seeing Master Wu nodding, the female shopkeeper was relieved, and hurriedly pushed the door and ran out, leaving Master Wu alone there to sigh secretly.

Several stone dissolving workers were quickly found, and the originally clean shop was occupied by the boundless hustle and bustle in the blink of an eye, and the speed of calcing was of course much faster, but the disappointment in our Master Wu's heart was overflowing, and the bitter sadness of being rejected by the woman he liked was not enough for outsiders.
