In the Penglai Pavilion, an old man in a scholar's gown walked out.
He has white hair and a childlike face, and there is not a trace of wrinkles on his face.
If it weren't for those vicissitudes of the eyes telling his age, I am afraid no one would have thought that such a person is the well-known owner of Penglai Island both at home and abroad.
All the guests in the dojo stood up together at this moment, expressing their respect to the landlord.
"The ten-year period is here again, thank you all for coming to the Haitian Feast, I would like to toast everyone!"
The owner of Penglai Island smiled like a sea breeze, giving people a very comfortable feeling. When he raised his glass, the audience followed suit, respecting each other from afar.
With a glass of warm wine in his throat, the owner of Penglai Island went straight to the theme.
"According to the rules, the old man will present questions every Haitian Feast, and this year is no exception."
"Considering that there are a lot of monks coming to Mount Penglai this year, in order not to let some of them return empty-handed, the old man specially prepared a small gift for each of them."
The island master of Penglai smiled and clapped his hands, and a number of maids poured in from outside the dojo, each holding a tray in their hands.
There seemed to be something in the tray, all covered with a red cloth.
There was an endless stream of maids, and they went through many banquets one by one, putting down trays in front of each guest.
A total of hundreds of thousands of monks gathered in the dojo, and each monk had a gift. Such a generous gift immediately surprised the audience.
"The owner of Penglai Island is too generous! What is this?"
"No matter what it is, it's really a good time to participate in the Haitian Feast this year, and there are free gifts to get!"
Everyone was very excited, and they lifted the red cloth on the tray one after another, and found that there were stones of different shapes in the plate.
"This is... Immortal Jewel Stone?"
Soon someone recognized them, and all of them had smiles on their faces.
"Penglai Island Master is really very elegant, this gift is quite special."
At Gu Chen's table, Ding Yao, Wang Gan and others all showed interest.
Gu Chen looked at the stone in front of him curiously. He had never heard of any fairy stone. Under his divine sense, this stone was ordinary, and there was nothing special about it.
"Well, Brother Wang, how about exchanging my Xianzhen Stone with yours?"
Xiao Jing glanced at the stones on his plate, and suggested to Wang Gan.
"This is impossible. Who doesn't know that your Tiandao Sect is good at deduction and calculation, and your immortal precious stone may not be able to cut anything good."
Wang Gan had already given up his position, and this time he shook his head resolutely.
Xiao Jing immediately showed disappointment, then looked at the other people present, and suggested to them one by one that he would exchange stones with them.
From their words, Gu Chen understood that this Xianzhen stone turned out to be a strange ore unique to the Xianling Continent. It looks similar in appearance, but when cut open, it is possible to find top-grade jade, the treasure of heaven and earth, and other rare ores. kind.
The owner of Penglai Island gave everyone a fairy stone, which aroused everyone's desire to gamble and try their luck, and they were eager to try it all at once.
This strange stone, which he had never seen before, successfully aroused Gu Chen's interest, and his Ziji pupils lit up a little.
After the sun-moon alchemy technique was perfected, his pupil technique also sublimated to a terrifying level.
Under Zi Jitong's peeping, there were some differences between the stones that were basically the same.
He could see a faint gleam of light inside some stones, and none at all.
Based on this, he could distinguish the waste rocks, but he couldn't tell which fairy stone was more valuable just by the dim light.
"Gu Daoyou, how about exchanging my Xianzhen Stone with you?"
At this time, Xiao Jing tried for a while, but no one was willing to change, and finally found Gu Chen, smiling.
Gu Chen glanced at his fairy stone, and found that the shimmer from his stone was obviously stronger than his own, so he couldn't help but smile.
"Can!"
He readily agreed, which surprised the other guests at the same table.
People from Tiandaozong have a great advantage in betting on stones because of their special way of practicing Taoism.
Xiao Jing went around looking for someone to exchange the Xianzhen Stone, which meant that what he had in his hand must be a waste stone, but he never expected that Gu Chen would be willing to exchange it.
When Xiao Jing heard that Gu Chen agreed, his expression became a little surprised.
Just now this person was very rude to him, but now he is giving him face again.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, let's change."
Gu Chen pushed his tray out.
Xiao Jing's face became cloudy and uncertain for a moment, a little hesitant.
"What's the matter, Fellow Daoist Xiao, are you reluctant?" The corners of Gu Chen's mouth twitched slightly.
"Of course not, deal."
Xiao Jing smiled embarrassingly, and handed over his Xianzhen Stone.
The exchange between the two made others curious.
"Let's see how everyone's luck is going."
Wang Gan took out a small knife, and took the lead in cutting the fairy stone in front of him.
When the stone was split into two, everyone took a closer look and found that the cut stone surface was as smooth as a mirror, and it was green and transparent original jade.
"It's a pity, it's just an ordinary jade that is common in the world."
Everyone showed regret in their eyes. Don't say that true disciples of the Immortal Sect like them despise jade like this, even ordinary monks despise it.
"Hey, it looks like I'm unlucky today." Wang Qian felt a little regretful, but it didn't matter.
This is just a small prize given to everyone by the owner of Penglai Island. It is best to gain something, and it is nothing if you don’t gain anything.
"I'll take a look too."
Ding Yao smiled sweetly, and cut open her own fairy stone. As soon as she cut it open, light came out from inside, accompanied by the sound of jingling like spring water.
"That's right, luckier than Daoyou Wang."
Everyone admired and cut their own stones one after another.
Most people don't have much harvest, the most unlucky thing is just useless stones, not even ordinary jade.
In the end, only Gu Chen and Xiao Jing's fairy stones were left uncut, and everyone looked at them curiously.
The two exchanged stones just now, if one of them made a good treasure, the other would die of regret.
"The fairy stone in my hand is very ordinary."
Xiao Jing laughed and cut open the stone that originally belonged to Gu Chen, and inside was light yellow jade that radiated light.
This kind of jade is better than ordinary jade, and can be used to refine some special jade pendants, but the value will not be too high.
"This stone is so ordinary, the other one is probably even worse."
Everyone looked at Gu Chen sympathetically, Xiao Jing could tell at a glance that Gu Chen's original stone was not worth much, but he still exchanged it with him, presumably the one in his hand was even worse.
"Not necessarily."
Xiao Jing showed an intriguing smile at this time.
With a blank expression on his face, Gu Chen took the special knife for cutting fairy stones from Ding Yao, and cut it open.
The fairy stone is divided into two, and the amazing fragrance inside is tangy!
The inside of the stone turned out to be hollow, and when everything was opened, azure blue slurry flowed out, and the astonishing fragrance was emitted from it.
This slurry not only smells extremely attractive, but as soon as it appears, the vitality of the surrounding world becomes active for a while.
