Ye Fan and Ruan Hongli walked side by side, walking towards the interior of Huangshifang.
After a while, I walked to the innermost layer of the deserted stone workshop, and saw a sea of people, rubbing shoulders, at least tens of thousands of people crowded, forming a sharp contrast with the deserted surroundings.
All of them stood on tiptoes and heads high, wanting to see Shangguanyi's grace.
This posture is even worse than the crazy pursuit of stars by fans on earth.
"Master Shangguan, show your hand!"
"I heard that you are coming to the imperial city to reclaim waste stones, but I came here specially from Linyuan City!"
"It is rumored that Young Master Shangguan has sharp eyes and has never missed his hand. I don't know what magical treasures can be found today!"
In this case, Rao Ye Fan was also blocked at the outermost periphery of the crowd, and unless he used brute force, he could not squeeze in at all.
Seeing such a scene, Ye Fan showed a wry smile and said: "Red carp, it seems impossible to squeeze in, let's take a look nearby now!"
"it is good!"
Ruan Hongli nodded. Although she was very curious about Shangguan's secrets, she still couldn't do anything about it.
Here is the innermost layer of the deserted stone workshop, where the top-notch deserted rocks are placed, or the "fresh goods" shipped from the ancient mines just now on the edge of the deserted ruins.
Of course, the price is also very expensive, at least ten times more expensive than the barren stones on the outermost layer, which is priceless.
Even those of big families and big sects who want to buy have to weigh their own worth.
After all, wasteland stone is also a kind of gambling, and the probability is not high.
Some people made Lingjing or Taikoo treasures and became rich overnight, but others bankrupted their families, and as a result, nothing came out.
Now, because everyone has gone to watch Shangguanyi's stone-cutting, the surrounding barren rocks are no one cares about, and Ye Fan and Ruan Hongli went shopping.
These barren stones have all kinds of strange shapes. Ye Fan even saw a super giant barren stone with a price tag of 10 million black mysterious stones, which is definitely an astronomical figure.
Those second- and third-grade sects, with all the strength of the sect, may not be able to buy one piece.
Only the twelve ancient families, or the great figures of the Great Xia Dynasty and Yunhai Xianmen, can buy it.
"Xiao Fan, why don't we just buy one and take it out for a look?" Ruan Hongli said with interest.
Since they are all here, of course they can't go home empty-handed.
As the only daughter of the Grand Marshal, she naturally has no shortage of black profound stones. She thinks she can be regarded as a little rich woman. Although she can't afford the most expensive pieces of barren stone, it is definitely not a problem to buy a small one.
"Okay! Let's choose carefully!"
Ye Fan walked back and forth among the many barren rocks to see if there were any eyes closed.
"what?"
Suddenly, Ye Fan stood still, a suspicious look appeared on his face.
In front of him, there was a barren stone several feet high with a price of 2 million black profound stones.
But Ye Fan's gaze was not on this tall barren rock, but instead focused on a small piece of rubble under the barren rock.
Looking intently, the gravel was only the size of a palm, and one hand could grasp it completely.
Its surface is pitted, full of criss-cross cracks, as if after some heavy blows and squeezing, no normal lines can be seen at all.
The vast majority of people will completely ignore this rubble even when passing by, and it is not a matter of course.
However, Ye Fan's eyes grew hotter.
Because he could feel that the dragon egg in the Qiankun Gourd was slightly hot, and seemed to reveal a strong desire.
The first time this dragon egg had an induction was in the Asura Demon Sea. It used thousands of Asura souls as its own food.
The second time he felt the induction, he encountered undead rotten energy in Youdu.
And now is the third time!
Since the dragon egg has induction, it means that there is something hidden in this seemingly inconspicuous gravel!
Ye Fan looked around, stopped a steward of the deserted stone workshop, pointed to the gravel and said, "I want this deserted stone, how much is it?"
"Your Excellency, good eyesight!"
With a smile on his face, the steward introduced: "This barren stone was just transported from the ancient mine in the ruins. It is 3.6 feet high and weighs 500 tons. There are obvious red blood patterns on the surface of the barren stone. It is very likely. Bring out precious spirit crystals! The current price is only 2 million black profound stones. If the baby is opened, the value will soar tenfold!"
"Ahem...You are wrong, I'm not talking about this barren stone!" Ye Fan interrupted him.
"What?" The steward was taken aback, not knowing why.
The next moment, Ye Fan leaned down, picked up the slap-sized gravel, and continued: "I want to buy this one!"
"what?"
The steward was stunned, with an unbelievable expression, thinking that there was an auditory hallucination.
"Hahaha..."
Suddenly, there was a sneer from behind.
Immediately, a weird voice of Yin and Yang sounded: "Where do you come from? It is embarrassing to come here. It's a laugh for my young master! This is how I have seen the world before, and I want to buy such scraps!"
Hearing this voice, Ye Fan, Ruan Hongli and Guan Shi turned their heads.
I saw a young man in his early twenties standing a few meters away, his head held high, with an arrogant expression, dressed in a white robe with a jade pendant on his waist, he was obviously a man of fine clothes and jade food, and his gestures revealed a sense of nobility.
And on the jade pendant around his waist, there are also two small characters carved
Shangguan!
...
"Are you from the Shangguan family?" Ruan Hongli asked aloud.
The young man in white robe saw Ruan Hongli’s beautiful face, his eyes showed a covetous color, and then he held his head up and said proudly: "Yes! This young man is named Shangguancheng, ranked third in the family, and the Shangguan who opened the stone inside. Yi is my eldest brother! I was delayed before, so I came here now!"
Knowing the identity of this person, the steward of Huangshifang immediately showed a respectful look, nodded and bowed, and said, "It turns out to be the third master, disrespectful and disrespectful!"
"Ha ha……"
The corner of Shangguan Cheng's mouth raised, and he glanced at Ye Fan squintingly, and said with disdain: "Boy, the leftover material you are looking at is a piece of'waste stone'. It fell from this large piece of waste stone. It is absolutely impossible to find any treasure inside. !"
"Can you get the baby out? It's my business. What is it to you?" Ye Fan looked at Shangguan Cheng coldly, his tone blunt.
"you!!!"
Shangguancheng pointed at Ye Fan, gritted his teeth, and scolded angrily: "Boy, what do you mean! Ben Shao is a descendant of the Shangguan family. He has practiced stone-watching skills since he was a child. The barren stone he has seen is better than anyone you have ever seen. It's all too much! Don't you think that your ability to watch rocks is higher than that of your own?!"
"Noisy!"
Ye Fan said lightly: "This barren stone workshop is not owned by your house. I want to buy stones. Do I still need your consent? Are you not a dog and a mouse who are nosy?"
Hearing this, Shangguan Cheng clenched his fists and trembled all over.
Ye Fan didn't look at him much, but turned to look at the steward and said, "Make a price, I want this gravel!"
"Your Excellency, are you teasing me?" The manager looked suspicious, and continued: "Our deserted stone workshop is not your place to be happy! If you make trouble again, don't blame me for calling the guard to drive you away! "
"Who dare?"
Suddenly, Ruan Hongli screamed and stood up: "I am the daughter of General Marshal Ruan Xiaotian. Whoever dares to move Xiao Fan is to be an enemy of our Ruan family!"
"hiss!"
Hearing this, the steward couldn't help taking a breath of air-conditioning and was shocked.
In the imperial city, although the Ruan family cannot be compared with the royal family, it is also one of the most noble families, especially the head of the Ruan family of this generation, Ruan Xiaotian, who is an extremely human minister and has become the general in charge of billions of soldiers and horses in the world.
As the only daughter of Ruan Xiaotian, Ruan Hongli's status is self-evident.
Although this steward saw her for the first time, he didn't doubt her identity at all, because no one in the imperial city dared to impersonate her.
Next to him, Shangguan Cheng also showed a look of surprise. He didn't expect that Ye Fan's background was so small that he was supported by the grand marshal's daughter!
"Your Mightiness!"
The steward looked at Ye Fan with a respectful attitude, and said, "The stone in your hand is really a scrap. It is so big that you can't get a baby! Or you can change a stone, I will give you Get a 20% discount!"
"You don't need to change it, I just like this one!"
Ye Fan's voice was extremely firm, as if he was determined to ask for this piece of gravel.
"This...then give a piece of black profound stone symbolically!" said the steward.
Even if it is the ordinary goods on the periphery of Huangshifang, the cheapest one is 100 black profound stones, but this piece of gravel is too worthless, and no one cares about it. According to the past practice, it will be directly thrown away.
Because of this, Guan Shi put forward the price of a piece of black mysterious stone symbolically.
"it is good!"
Ye Fan nodded, paid the money immediately, and continued: "Do you have any stone-cutting tools here? Cut this barren stone for me!"
"cut!"
Hearing this, Shangguan Cheng next to him said strangely: "A piece of waste rock, what is there to cut? If there can be a treasure out of it, I will eat all the stone skins on the spot!"
Shangguancheng's voice was full of sarcasm and contempt. He glanced at Ye Fan sideways, as if treating Ye Fan as an idiot.
At the same time, the movement here also attracted the attention of many people.
Those passers-by were crowded on the outermost periphery, and couldn't see the scene of Shangguanyi's opening of the stone, so they simply came to watch the excitement.
When they saw that what was about to be cut was a slap-sized gravel, they also showed strange colors and talked:
"Are you kidding? Just this shit, what's the point?"
"There is no more than this piece of waste rock in the entire waste stone workshop!"
"Yes! This kid wants to make a fortune and wants to be crazy!"
"Haha... Picking up a stone on the side of the road is probably better than this waste stone!"
Hearing the ridicule of everyone around him, Ye Fan didn't change his face, with a faint smile on his mouth.
Soon, a stone cutter came over and took the broken stone from Ye Fan.
Although the stone cutter was not optimistic about this barren stone, he still behaved very professionally. He took out a special utility knife and flipped his fingers.
"Crack! Click! Click..."
The skin of the stone kept peeling off, and the volume of this piece of gravel was originally small, but now it is shrinking, leaving only the size of an egg.
"Huh!"
Suddenly, when the master stone cutter cut another piece of stone skin, a dazzling light shot out from it, rushing into the sky.
