After putting down the threatening words, the prince got into the golden sedan chair and left under the of many imperial dragons.
But the villains in the Generalissimo's Mansion showed horrified expressions and were extremely frightened.
Although Ruan Xiaotian holds the military power, he is an extremely human minister, and one person is above 10,000.
But all the power of the Ruan family comes from the royal family.
Since Emperor Xia was able to give power to the Ruan family, he could also easily deprive it.
If Ye Fan really rebelled against the will of the royal family and openly rejected the olive branch thrown by Princess Neon, then the Ruan family might really face extinction.
Of course, this is the worst plan!
In the eyes of others, Princess Nishang was able to fall in love with Ye Fan, which was the blessing he had cultivated in his eight lifetimes. He really had no reason to refuse.
Even if Ruan Hongli became a concubine's room, that was a matter of course.
At the next moment, Ye Fan turned his head to look at the many people in the Ruan family, his eyes were like electricity, and he opened his mouth and said: "What just happened, you are all tight-lipped, don't let the red carp know!"
"Yes, uncle!" Everyone nodded.
It's not that Ye Fan deliberately wanted to hide from Ruan Hongli, but that there was no need to let her know about this matter, even if she knew it, it would only add to the trouble.
To be honest, Ye Fan really didn't expect Princess Nishang to be so favored by him.
It is also that the princess hasn't come into contact with any men of the opposite in these years, and the two lives in the journey to the capital will inevitably be in love.
It's just that... Ye Fan owes too much love debt.
He couldn't wait to improve his strength and went to Shuiyuexing to rescue Chu Mengyao, and there were several beautiful wives waiting for him on the earth.
It is true that Princess Neon is a stunning beauty, but Ye Fan is not in the mood to spend time and only wants to improve his strength as soon as possible.
Soon, Ye Fan returned to the Generalissimo's mansion.
It happened that Ruan Hongli changed his clothes and walked out with a faint blush on Qiao's face. He asked, "Xiao Fan, what happened outside just now?"
"It's just a small matter, I have solved it!" Ye Fan said lightly.
"That's right! I heard that a new batch of barren rocks have been produced recently and they have been shipped to the imperial city. Why don't we go shopping!" Ruan Hongli said softly.
"Huangshi? What is that?" Ye Fan asked back.
"Don't you know?"
Ruan Hongli was taken aback for a moment, and then explained: "On the edge of the ruins, there is a huge ancient mine, which contains endless ores, called'barren stones.' It is said that there is a giant spiritual vein in the ruins, and its aura leaks out. It is absorbed by the waste stones in the ancient mines, so there is a good chance that spirit crystals for cultivation will be produced in the waste stones, which is of great benefit to the monks!"
"Of course, because it is very close to the ruins, mining waste stones is very risky. Those monks who are capable of relying on their identities will not do that kind of hard work. Often only the lowest-level people will dig in regardless of their lives. Barren stone! Coupled with the long journey from the ruins all the way back to the imperial city, the price of barren stone remains high!"
"Even so, there are still many people on Tianshu Star who are keen to buy waste stones. If some rare spirit crystals are opened in it, then they will make a fortune! In the waste stone workshop, news of getting rich overnight is not uncommon!"
Hearing these words, Ye Fan knew in his heart.
Isn't this the gambling stone on earth?
It's just that the gambling stone on the earth is jade.
And the barren stones on the Tianshu star are all kinds of spirit crystals.
"Oh, right!"
Ruan Hongli seemed to have thought of something, and continued: "It is said that not only spirit crystals can be produced in barren rocks, but also more precious and ancient things can be produced!"
"Oh? What is it?" Ye Fan suddenly became interested.
"I haven't seen it with my own eyes, it's all heard from the hearsay! It is said that more than two hundred years ago, there was an unintentional sect that unintentionally drew a fruit from a barren stone. After the sect's master took the fruit, His strength has skyrocketed, and he has broken the boundary again and again. It only took a month to break through from the transformation of the gods to the seventh level of the robbery!" Ruan Hongli said.
"what?!"
Hearing this, Ye Fan's eyes widened and his heart was shocked.
The vast majority of monks will be stuck in the Ninth Rank of God Transformation throughout their lives, unable to go further.
It will take at least hundreds of years for even the stunningly talented generation to break through from the transformation stage to the seventh stage of the triumph, and the more difficult it will become later!
And the fruits from the barren stone can make a person's cultivation so rapid, which is far more powerful than the peerless pill.
"but--"
Suddenly, Ruan Hongli’s words changed:
It’s said that after breaking through to the Seventh Layer of Crossing Tribulation, the Sect Master exploded and died within a few days! Of course, this is just an example. Most of the treasures that were discovered from the waste stones are extremely precious The ancient treasures! There is anecdotal report that the secret book "The Nine Dragon Emperor Jue" of the Great Xia Dynasty was drawn from a certain barren stone!"
"Really so amazing?"
Ye Fan's heart was shaken and he was excited.
"Well! There are many legends about barren rocks anyway, even if a fairy is drawn from it someday, everyone will not be surprised!"
"Okay, let's go see it!" Ye Fan said.
...
After a while, under the leadership of Ruan Hongli, Ye Fan came to the largest barren stone workshop in the imperial city.
Although the scale of this barren stone workshop is not comparable to that of the imperial palace, it is more than ten times larger than the Marshal's Mansion.
As soon as Ye Fan and Ruan Hongli arrived at the outermost courtyard, they saw densely packed barren rocks on the ground, with unique shapes and oddities.
The largest is more than ten feet high, like a hill, very majestic, and the smallest is only the size of a stone...
At first glance, these barren rocks are no different from the rocks on the roadside, as if they were picked up casually.
But if you look closely, you will find that there are some faint lines on the surface of the barren stone, spreading in different directions, which is particularly mysterious.
And below these waste stones, different prices are marked with labels.
The cheapest one is also a hundred black profound stones, which is equivalent to a low-grade spiritual weapon. For many monks of small sects and small families, this is the possession of the whole body.
As for those expensive, it ranges from thousands to tens of thousands.
More importantly, this is only the outermost part. The more the barren stone workshop goes inside, the higher the grade of barren stone and the more expensive it is.
"what?"
Ruan Hongli widened her beautiful eyes, looking around, and found that there were few people around who picked stones.
"Strange! This barren stone workshop is very lively all year round, with full of voices and endless streams. It has never been as deserted as it is today! What is going on?"
Hearing her talking to herself, a passerby next to her spoke:
"Little girl, don't you know? The young master of the Shangguan clan is here, and it is said that you have to slay the stone yourself, and the big guys will go inside to witness the demeanor of the young master Shangguan! I can't get in, so I was outside!"
"What? The one from Shangguan's family came to the imperial city?" Ruan Hongli opened his beautiful eyes with a look of surprise on his face.
"Red Carp, who is this Young Master Shangguan?" Ye Fan asked curiously.
"The Shangguan family is one of the twelve ancient families, and it is the upper three families alongside the Huangfu family and the Long family!" Ruan Hongli explained.
Hearing this, Ye Fan became curious.
Before that, he had been in contact with people from the Twelve Ancient Family.
The young master of the Luo family was defeated horribly in his hands, and many treasures passed down by his ancestors were taken away.
And the young master of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Jiangshan, possesses a god-printed king body, is invincible, domineering, and once challenged Ye Fan outside the Dan Pagoda.
Unfortunately, Ye Fan was severely suppressed in the end.
Of course, this does not mean that Huangfu Jiangshan is weak, but that Ye Fan is too strong!
In terms of strength, Huangfu Jiangshan is only slightly inferior to Daozi Han Xiao, not far behind.
And the young master of the Shangguan family, as the heir of the last "three families", did not know what he was capable of.
Just as Ye Fan was thinking, Ruan Hongli explained: "Xiaofan, the three schools have different emphases! The Huangfu family has the longest history and has the most various treasures. It also has a spiritual vein that is enough to compete with the Daxia imperial family. Comparable! The Long Family is the descendant of the Shenlong. Every hundred years, the Dragon Family will have the Tianjiao awakening the Shenlong bloodline!"
"As for the Shangguan family, they are not as rich and noble as the Huangfu family, nor do they have special bloodlines like the Long family, but the Shangguan family has a unique secret! They can detect whether there are treasures in the deserted stone through the lines on the surface of the deserted stone!"
"what?!"
Ye Fan was shocked when he heard the words.
This secret technique of Shangguan's family is too domineering. Wouldn't it be easy to search for treasures in the waste stones?
When the cultivation reaches a certain level, such as the transformation stage, it is not difficult to have magical powers like "perspective eyes".
But just now, Ye Fan had already released his spiritual sense to spy on the waste stone.
However, the stone skin of the barren stone is too heavy, and there is a kind of magical energy that can isolate the prying eyes of the gods, even Ye Fan can't see the scene in it.
And now, when he heard that Shangguan's secrets had such a magical effect, Ye Fan was naturally surprised.
"Xiaofan, in fact, the secret of Shangguan family is not to try Bailing! If you want to practice this secret, you must first be a descendant of Shangguan family, and you must have unparalleled talent. After years of training, you can develop a pair of eyes. !"
"The young master of Shangguan's family, named Shangguanyi, is also known as the "fire eye and golden eye". It is said that as long as he cuts the waste stone, the success rate is more than 80%!" Ruan Hongli explained.
"Okay, let's go to meet that Shangguanyi!" Ye Fan said loudly.
