Jiang Feng opened the door and called out to the two women. Just as he was about to leave, Qin Yao told him a piece of news.
While he was cultivating in seclusion, Nangong Fan had come to find him and invite him to the stone garden.
Stone gambling? Jiang Feng was confused.
Following that, Jiang Feng received more information. It was rumored that the Long Family had dug up a strange stone in a certain area of Rain Country, and it might contain a unique treasure.
There was news that the Ancient Battlefield was buried at the place where the strange stones were dug out. As a result, the origin of the strange stones was not simple, the news spread through the entire Yu Di City, and many great figures prepared to head towards the stone garden.
Jiang Feng was not interested to begin with, and he and Nangong Fan were not familiar with each other. Furthermore, in this kind of occasion, it had nothing to do with him at all.
Jiang Feng thought of something. In this world, there were many things that could bury themselves deep under the earth and eventually turn into fossils. Sometimes, with great luck, one could indeed find a treasure through the sealed rocks or other carriers.
"When?" Jiang Feng asked.
"It has already begun today." Qin Yao said.
"Pack up, come with me!" Jiang Feng said decisively, he planned to go to the stone garden, to see the Rain Country's Sovereign King.
The stone garden was the most famous place in the Yu Di City where stone materials were traded. In this place, many stone materials were transported from various places every day. Some cultivators would stay here all year round, hoping to find some treasures here.
When Jiang Feng brought the two girls to the stone garden, there were already many people gathered there.
From the outside, the stone garden was not obvious, but after they entered, they realized that there was a different world, like a fairyland. There was a wide road that led directly to the depths.
On both sides of the street, there were many rooms filled with people. There were also many pavilions, and there were also many cultivators wearing luxurious robes chatting with each other.
Jiang Feng also looked at the stones displayed curiously. He could not see anything on the surface, but they were buried deep in the ground and their surfaces were covered with all kinds of impurities. If he wanted to find out what was inside, he would have to cut them open.
Furthermore, this also involved a process that would drive countless cultivators crazy: gambling on stones!
Cultivators who entered the stone garden would have to rely on their own eyes to choose the ores. If they cut the stones into pieces, that would be fine, but there was another result, after cutting the ores, there was only a pile of white sand inside.
Every year, there would be many people who thought that their eyes were good. When the stone garden was confident enough to make their move, in the end, they would buy the ore at a high price.
"I want this ore!"
A loud shout came from the front, immediately attracting many people's attention. They saw a middle-aged man standing in front of a rock that was as tall as a person, and this rock was priced at ten thousand stellar stone.
This was not a low price, so many people surrounded it to see if this ore could cut anything.
Jiang Feng also went up curiously, amidst the clamoring discussions around him, he carefully observed this ore, in the depths of his pupils, a hint of strange light, as if he could see through the stone's origin.
In just an instant, the bizarre light in Jiang Feng's eyes disappeared, and he shook his head slightly. There was nothing inside this ore;
In Jiang Feng's memory, there lay a secret technique called the "Sky Eye Technique".
There was no need for special training. As long as one memorized the secret technique, with the astrology s as the main body, they could form unique and wondrous powers within their eyes, allowing them to easily see through some things.
The Heaven Eyes Divine Vision could also be understood to be a stronger version of a normal astrology, but it was a very ancient technique. Jiang Feng had coincidentally acquired this in his previous life too, so there shouldn't be a second person in the Rain Country who could use this ancient technique.
"I don't believe that it's wrong. I've been to the stone garden three times in a row and I've never gotten a single piece of treasure out!"
The middle-aged cultivator that bought the ore had a crazy expression on his face as he took out a wild saber and hacked down.
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, the ore was cracked and the outer layer of stone began to peel off like an eggshell. However, inside the cut ore, there was nothing good. It was just ordinary white sand.
The middle-aged cultivator's expression darkened. He had a premonition that the ten thousand stellar stone were going to go down the drain.
With a perturbed mood, the wild saber in his hand descended once again!
"Crack!"
Halfway through, the ore was split in half. Everyone turned their heads over and saw that there was still nothing on the white sand stone.
"I'm probably going to lose everything. If there really was a treasure left behind, it would have been revealed long ago after it was cut to such a state."
That's right. Normally, ores are stored inside, but with a slight cut, the aura of essence can be felt. Unfortunately, there's no such thing as an ore. Ten thousand Stellar Stones is wasted.
Everyone shook their heads in regret.
"Impossible!" The middle-aged cultivator was unwilling to accept this and raised his saber to slash down once more.
This time, with a crack, the entire ore was cut into pieces. The inside of the ore was empty, with nothing inside, not to mention collecting, there were no normal jade stones inside, this ore that ten thousand stellar stone bought was not even worth a single cent.
The middle-aged cultivator was dumbfounded, his face revealed an expression of extreme pain, ten thousand stellar stone just vanished, just like that.
Jiang Feng also felt that it was a pity, but this was just like gambling stones. A rich man with a poor blade, no one could guarantee that he would spend a large amount of stellar stone s and ultimately cut them into pieces.
It was because of this unknown thrill that attracted so many cultivators.
"Bro, you finally came. I thought you wouldn't come."
A surprised voice was heard. Jiang Feng turned around and saw Nangong Fan walking over with a smile on his face.
"I thought it was a little interesting, so I came to take a look." Jiang Feng smiled and nodded.
"I knew you would be interested. stone garden found an ancient land in the Rain Country and dug out many ancient strange stones, some of which even contained a unique cultivation method. Some of the treasures even attracted a lot of people from the Yu Di City."
Nangong Fan introduced, and it could be seen that he was also incomparably looking forward to it.
"Is that place special?" Jiang Feng asked curiously.
"It is indeed special, and rumours have it that many experts died at the Ancient Battlefield's location, stone garden has been searching for that place for decades, I never thought that they would be able to find it, but when they were digging, something terrifying seemed to have happened." Saying that, Nangong Fan revealed a pondering look, regarding the excavation of the stone, the stone garden seemed to have something strange about it.
"Something terrible?" Jiang Feng asked curiously, it was just digging for a few stones, what could it be for?
"I don't know the specifics of the situation, but in the clan, I occasionally get some information from the elders, saying that in order to bring out this batch of stones, a bloody incident occurred and some people died. After that, the stone garden sealed off the news, keeping it a secret."
