After the artifact forging had been made public, the days suddenly became dull.
Fang Ming did not run around anymore. Other than giving Ye Jianmu pointers, he found some other materials and refined three more eggs, but they were no longer the size of a human head. They were only the size of a fist, making them very convenient to use!
This time, he also became smarter, directly going to Ji Tiangong's private refining room, and did not cause any buildings to collapse!
He had left one in the Fang family, and when Qin Shou had finished repairing the Darksteel Brush, he had given the other one as well. The last one he had on him as a life-saving trump card.
In a blink of an eye, it was time for them to head to Quannan County City.
On this day, Green Thunder City took off from the north mountain and headed towards Quannan County City. Inside the small house on the bird's back, Fang Ming was still in his room on the left.
In the room, Du Yang was also brought along, but he was sitting far away from Fang Ming, and would occasionally glance at him with fear.
Aside from that, there was also Lan Yu, who was pushed to fourth place by Fang Ming, and Li Yushu, who was ranked fifth.
Counting Fang Ming and Du Yang, the only ones ranked in the top five were the Core Disciples that were ranked first in the very beginning. It seemed that that person had long since left for Quannan County City.
Quinan's ratio only allowed five people to participate. As a result, the fifth place core disciple was not brought along, but there was an exception, and that was Chen Yu.
Because Fang Ming had answered his question, as long ahe obtained a spot in the Celestial Swallow Pool, she would give it up to Chen Yu. And after the Quinan's ratio, she would directly head to the imperial city, waiting for the Celestial Swallow Pool to open before returning to the Green Thunder Sect.
It was just that it was much harder for Fang Ming, since he had not been caught between two of his senior sisters. He could neither sit nor stand, so those who did not know what he should do would think that he had hemorrhoids!
In the end, Fang Ming simply closed his eyes and started cultivating. After activating the Enlightenment Spirit Diagram of the Heavenly Dao, this guy had never tried to train as seriously as he did before!
But did he really dare to cultivate?
He was just putting on an act!
Fortunately, from the Green Thunder City to the Quannan County City, with the Wind Bird's flying speed, only half a day had passed. Once the bird landed on the ground, Fang Ming instantly felt relaxed!
He swore to himself that in the future, he would definitely rent a Windy Bird for himself. Even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn't sit together with everyone anymore!
This was because the mounts of outsiders could not enter the city. Therefore, Green Thunder Sect's group could only land outside the city and enter the city on foot.
He looked at the city wall in front of him that was several tens of meters tall and stretched forward for who knows how far. There was simply no end in sight, and this Quannan County City was at least several times larger than the Green Thunder City!
After entering the city, the people of Green Thunder Sect would first find an inn to stay. However, as Fang Ming had just entered the room, he had already slipped out from behind. Who knew if he was escaping now, but would the two senior sisters would come looking for him soon?
Walking out of the inn, he found a random youth by the roadside, asked him about the location of the Formation Masters Guild, and then headed in the direction the youth had pointed out.
However, before they could even find the Formation Masters Guild, they had arrived on a main street. In front of every shop, there were all kinds of strange looking stones, and it was extremely lively. The entire main street was filled with people!
Some of the people here were very excited, as if they had been injected with chicken blood. However, most of them were very dejected, their faces uglier than their parents'!
Curious, he walked around and found that there was nothing special about these stones, but their prices were very high. Some were low in price, some were high in price, some were high in price, some were even few hundred thousand!
After looking for a while, he finally understood that this was Qu Nan City's famous gambling street!
Those strangely shaped rocks were actually dug out from ruins everywhere. Rumor has it that the ones that were able to excavate this kind of stone were all ruins from tens of thousands of years ago. After being baptised by time, they were buried for a long time, and now they were discovered by others!
As for the so-called treasure speculation, it was just like the jade bets from his previous life. It was to see who had the better judgement, or to see whose luck was the better, buy a stone, and peel it open to see if there were any treasures inside!
Fang Ming looked at the stones, he could not even tell what was made of, and was immediately shocked. The man who owned the [Artifact Scripture] knew a lot of spirit mines, but he did not know what the composition of the stones was!
What was even more bizarre was that just now, a Kong Ming Realm Ranker had spent a hundred thousand Mysterious Gold Coins to buy a stone to cut open the stone. In the end, there was nothing inside, not to mention that Ranker, even Fang Ming felt his balls ache!
In other words, these stones could not be seen through with Spiritual Sense!
The more he looked at it, the more curious he became. Finally, he couldn't help but walk forward and forcefully squeeze on a rock. As a result, the rock was surprisingly brittle!
This was the so-called "curious killing of cats". Yet, it had shattered into pieces!
Hehe, this young master has good eyes, this stone is our shop treasure, the price is one million Mysterious Gold Coins, I trouble you to pay first, then open up the stone!
At the sight of this, a bald middle-aged man rushed out of the shop with a radiant smile on his face. He looked as if he had been blooming with happiness since a long time ago!
"What?" A million Mysterious Gold Coins? "No!"
Upon hearing about a million Mysterious Gold Coins, Fang Ming's eyes immediately opened wide. This rock was even taller than him, didn't it crush his fist as big as it was, and actually asked for a million Mysterious Gold Coins?
Aren't you f * cking stealing it?
You want to cheat your brother of his money?
None at all!
"Hmm? Smelly brat, are you deliberately causing trouble? There was a written rule on the Treasure Shop: If you open a stone, you have to buy it. If you don't want to buy it, then don't touch it! You've already opened up a corner of this rock, destroying its integrity. It has lost the effect of sealing its aura, so you have to buy it! "
Upon hearing the word 'no,' the tone of the bald middle-aged man instantly changed, revealing a fiendish look!
The voice was loud and many onlookers came over in an instant. There were even some who were pointing and pointing. However, after listening to it, most of them were actually criticizing him!
"What happened?"
In just a few breaths of time, a voice was heard as a middle-aged man in soft armor walked in from behind the crowd.
"Captain Cheng, you came at the right time! This brat wants to cause trouble. He opened my shop's treasure, but didn't want to pay! "
When the bald middle-aged man saw him, he immediately pointed at Fang Ming and shouted.
"Hmm? Such a thing actually happened? How preposterous! "
The middle-aged man glared and released a terrifying aura. It was actually a powerhouse at the peak of the Kong Ming Realm!
It seemed that the middle aged man was in charge of the guards on this street, causing Fang Ming to frown. Under normal circumstances, he was confident that he could escape, but he was not in charge of the Green Thunder City.
"I didn't cut open the stone, I only crushed a small part of it. It doesn't seem to have any effect!" Fang Ming said.
"What?" Was this fellow stupid? If this stone was broken even a little, it will lose its original balance, causing the aura to leak out. Anyone who knows a little about the art of appraising treasures will be able to tell whether there are treasures inside! "
This time, there was no need for the bald middle-aged man and the armored middle-aged man to speak, as the surrounding onlookers were already discussing amongst themselves!
Hearing that, Fang Ming was startled, there was actually such a thing?
But what the hell was an appraisal skill?
