A lightning strike transmigrated Zu An into another world. In that world, he was known as the tr*sh of Brightmoon City, but for some reason, he was married to the gorgeous and highly talented daugh...
However, everyone soon discovered that there was no sense of death around them as they had imagined, and Yu Yanluo did not have any killing intent. The light emanating from her pupils was only focused on the rough stone in front of her.
"This is..." Everyone realized that this was not the Death Eye they had imagined, but rather her observing and selecting rough stones.
"I never expected Medusa's Eye to have such an effect," Chiwen exclaimed in surprise. Even among the sea creatures, he had long heard of the fame of Medusa's Eye.
Little Golden Roc King nodded secretly: "I see. Medusa's bloodline is naturally close to the earth element, and Medusa's Eye is a forbidden move of the earth element. The uncut stone is also wrapped in the earth element."
Princess Soren was pleasantly surprised: "Does that mean she can see through what's hidden inside the rough stone?"
Because of her previous experience at the Marquis of Sui's Tomb, she instinctively felt closer to Yu Yanluo's side. Originally, seeing how powerful Shi Min was, she thought she was doomed to lose, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better.
Shang Liuyu shook his head slightly: "Medusa's Eyes can indeed get closer to rough stones and may be able to see some signs that ordinary people cannot see, but it is absolutely impossible to see through the specific situation inside the rough stone. This is determined by the laws of heaven and earth. Similarly, the Qiu family's Finger Flicking Divine Skill is just the inheritance and exploration of thousands of years of experience in gambling on stones. Those techniques have some truth to them, but they are not necessarily accurate. Otherwise, the Qiu family would have become the number one family in the world long ago."
The second prince exclaimed, "The princess truly has insightful views; she is truly admirable."
Little Golden Roc King also exclaimed, "Does the princess also know about jade gambling? Would you like to try your luck?"
Shang Liuyu smiled slightly: "I don't know anything about this. I just heard a senior mention it before."
"Princess is too modest," the Second Prince and the Little Golden Roc King said in unison.
Chiwen looked strange. These two guys were fawning over his aunt every day, clearly not with good intentions.
Want to be my uncle-in-law? Eat shit.
At this moment, Shi Min also calmed his mind. After all, he was no ordinary person, and he quickly banished distracting thoughts from his mind.
It also stopped on a tall, unpolished stone. This stone was stuck in a bamboo forest, its surface covered with a greenish hue, and the bamboo-like protrusions on the stone made it look just like a real bamboo. Standing in the bamboo forest, it did not look out of place at all.
"What's the price of this stone?" he asked in a deep voice, worried that the other party might try to raise the price later.
"This stone is named Bamboo Gentleman, and its price is 2,000 Heavenly Rank Yuan Stones," the Biyuan steward replied.
Lion's Compassion nodded, his fingers moving rapidly.
The bullets struck the rock, leaving trails of afterimages.
A rustling sound came from the stones, as if a gentle breeze was blowing through the bamboo forest, but there was no wind at all in the courtyard.
Then came a series of ghostly wails, and the once spiritually rich garden seemed to turn into the underworld.
"This is..." Everyone in the room was shocked; what a powerful and sinister aura!
Lion's expression also changed, but he still said, "I'll choose this rough stone."
As he spoke, he took out the Heavenly Rank Yuan Stone that he had prepared beforehand.
"Alright." The butler handed the spirit stone to a subordinate standing nearby. "Shall we begin cutting now?"
"Wait a minute!" Shi Min looked at Yu Yanluo and the others beside him, "Have you made your choices yet?"
Yu Yanluo did not respond, but the faint golden light in her eyes shone on the rough stone in front of her. Gradually, the rough stone began to glow with golden light, and then many people saw a strange phenomenon on the surface of the stone.
All that could be seen was a vast expanse of yellow sand, an endless desert, with a single, withered piece of wood stuck in the sand. With each gust of wind, the wood was gradually buried.
Yu Yanluo's gaze returned to normal: "I've made my choice too, this one will do."
She had already inquired about the price beforehand. Because this rough stone had an ordinary appearance and no obvious abnormalities, its price was quite cheap in this Immortal Realm, costing only 500 Heavenly Rank Yuan Stones.
Everyone marveled at this amazing skill. Could it be that Queen Medusa could really see what was inside the stone?
Lion's expression also changed drastically. The strange phenomenon just now proved that this rough stone was definitely not an ordinary item. It seems that he had indeed underestimated her. This woman really has some ability.
However, the die was cast and he had no choice but to proceed, and he was quite confident in his judgment.
The rough stone I chose is bound to win.
Lion's Compassion snorted coldly: "Let's begin."
The housekeeper of Biyuan nodded and began with this stone.
Many princes and princesses gathered around.
The steward of Biyuan was very careful. Unlike before when he had made large, sweeping cuts in the Huangzi room, he gently rubbed the outer layer. Each time he brushed it, he would cut off a piece of stone skin as thin as a cicada's wing, as if he was worried that cutting too thickly would damage the treasure inside.
The others naturally understood this principle and did not urge him further, all holding their breath and watching intently.
Fortunately, the housekeeper at Biyuan was very experienced, even though she always cut the slices thinly.
But as the knife fell, the rough stone gradually began to reveal its true form.
With another slash, a jet-black light scattered outwards.
Immediately afterwards, everyone seemed to hear the wails of countless wronged souls. A series of eerie winds blew by, and even those with profound cultivation couldn't help but shiver.
It was the same as the strange phenomenon I had just sensed, but its power was many times greater.
The butler trembled, but his hand was steady. With a few slashes, he revealed the true appearance of the object inside.
A bone, a black bone, twisted and contorted, covered with disgusting bumps that divided the bone into several sections, making it resemble a bamboo stalk.
Although this thing is ugly and disgusting, it is surrounded by a rich aura of energy, which is the aura of a Heaven-rank item.
"This is the True Bamboo of Corpses!" the Second Prince exclaimed, clearly recognizing its origin.
The people next to him hurriedly asked him what the Corpse Bone True Bamboo was. He explained, "This thing usually grows in the most yin and evil places. Sometimes it also grows in the ruins of battlefields because there are too many wronged souls and the bones of soldiers who died in battle. However, the conditions for its formation are extremely harsh. Many people go out of their way to find it, but it is very difficult to find even one."
"This item is a great tonic for cultivators who practice necromancy techniques and yin-cold energy. Keeping it by your side can double your cultivation speed."
"In addition, this item can be used to make the legendary immortal-grade weapon, the Soul-Summoning Banner. Once the Soul-Summoning Banner is activated, it can capture a person's soul and turn the cultivator into a walking corpse."
"A Celestial-grade weapon?" Everyone's expressions varied; the value of such a thing was immeasurable.
At this moment, Little Golden Roc King also spoke up: "I have also heard of this thing, but at that time, it seems that no one had successfully made it into a Celestial-grade weapon, but someone did succeed in making a Celestial-grade Soul-Summoning Banner."
The second prince nodded: "That's true, celestial-grade weapons are hard to find."
Nevertheless, Shi Min was quite satisfied, and smiled as he looked at Yu Yanluo: "I wonder what the Queen has chosen?"
They looked like they were sure of winning.
