Fusang Sword Heart Diagram

Ning Fusang went up to the seventh floor, where the layout of the building changed drastically.

Rows of glazed glass platforms were set up with stones of all shapes and sizes, some unremarkable in appearance. Many cultivators stood outside the red silk, some deep in thought, others with conflicted expressions.

Is this... gambling on stones?
Ning Fusang had long heard that people from Zhongzhou were fond of gambling on stones, but this was the first time he had ever seen such a grand scene of stone gambling.

Compared to gambling on jade, the casinos downstairs are merely for entertainment.

The silkworm spirit suddenly realized: "No wonder I felt that aura was very weak, so that's why. That thing was buried in the stone."

Ning Fusang smirked, "You wouldn't be trying to get me to buy it, would you?"

Ning Fusang knew exactly how expensive a rough stone could be.

Moreover, is the judgment of the silkworm spirit always accurate?

Things from the last era, like a stone or a piece of rotten wood, might not necessarily be treasures.

The silkworm spirit clearly knew Ning Fusang's temperament and dared not cheat her. It rolled its eyes and said, "We can buy small, cheap stones first, earn some spirit stones, and then use the earned spirit stones to gamble on stones. Once we lose them all, we'll stop."

With such a large area of ​​raw stone, even the Silkworm Spirit hasn't determined exactly which stone contains that thing.

Ning Fusang had no hope that the silkworm spirit could find a raw stone with something in it right away, because there were several more floors above this one, and if she guessed correctly, there were even more valuable raw stones there.

However, we can consider the silkworm spirit's suggestion.

A cultivator's divine sense can detect the condition of the raw stone. Although there are obstacles, as long as the divine sense is strong enough, one can still vaguely sense something.

However, divine sense is not clairvoyance and cannot determine what is inside the original stone. Cultivators still need to make their own judgments and guesses.

This will put the cultivator's own abilities to the test.

Ning Fusang's spiritual sense was quite strong, more than enough to judge the age of some raw stones. She observed the appearance and price of this batch of raw stones.

From the first area on the other side, a woman's gentle voice rang out.

"Fellow Daoists, I dare to guarantee that the quality of this batch of rough stones will only be high, not low. All the rough stones in the first area come from the Xiaoluotian Ancient Battlefield."

"The ancient battlefield of Xiaoluotian is something that I'm sure many of you fellow cultivators have heard of to some extent. Ten thousand years ago, more than a dozen forces, large and small, including the Flower Sect, the Zhengna Esoteric Sect, and the Five Blessings Sect, sank Wengzhu Island in a battle at Xiaoluotian. Countless cultivators perished there, and their magical treasures, secret manuals, and spirit stones were also swallowed by the sea." Time has passed, and Wengzhu Island has reappeared. Fengyunfang has sent dozens of groups of cultivators to Wengzhu Island, and in the past hundred years, they have only managed to bring back three batches of gambling stones.

"The rough stones you see before you are rather fragmented, but they were originally stored in the warehouse. It was only because of the grand event of the Five Continents Conference that our owner released them and placed them on the seventh floor for people to choose from."

“We naturally believe what Huang Xiangu says. Fengyunfang’s reputation has stood the test of time. I’ll buy that irregularly shaped jade stone!”

A loud voice rang out, and everyone looked into the crowd, involuntarily making way.

The man wore a white brocade robe embroidered with delicate purple flowers. He was handsome and held a jade fan in his hand, which he gently tapped in his palm.

Ning Fusang watched as the stone was being cut open on site.

She used her divine sense to examine the raw stone the man had chosen, and in an instant, countless divine senses collided.

Ning Fusang: "..."

It seems everyone is quite curious. Before the expert stone cutter could even open the rough stone, they couldn't resist checking out the condition of the rough stone for gambling purposes.

Ning Fusang's divine sense went deep into the ocean, and after that, there was basically no other divine sense present. Suddenly, her divine sense seemed to have hit a reef in the sea, bounced back half an inch, and spread out in all directions.

She was certain that there was something inside this rough stone. It was round and flat, about the width of a palm; it could be jade, or it could be a worthless stone within a stone. The crowd around them began to discuss it.

"Judging from this fellow Daoist's confident demeanor, there must be something inside."

"To be honest, I just secretly used my divine sense to investigate, and I did sense something, but I don't know what it is."

"In the game of gambling on stones, the higher one's cultivation level and the stronger one's spiritual sense, the greater the advantage one has. However, there are many examples of high-level cultivators losing money. The word 'gambling' itself carries too much risk. Before the stone is deciphered, no one can say for sure what the outcome will be."

The master stonecutter conjured a wind blade in his hand and skillfully cut through the outer layer of stone. After the first layer was cut, the raw stone shrank, but nothing was revealed.

Until the stone cutter cut through the third layer of stone, a faint reddish glow emanated from it. The stone cutter's movements became increasingly gentle and slow.

Everyone held their breath.

"This should be a fire-attribute spirit jade, right? It looks quite large, and it's a whole piece. Whether it's used to make magical artifacts or accessories, there are quite a few styles to choose from."

"It's showing its crimson light again. This strike will increase its value by at least two hundred spirit stones."

As the man listened to the murmurs around him, a pleased smile curved his lips, his eyes sparkling with laughter, and he felt a sense of satisfaction.

At this moment, the full view of the object inside the stone came into everyone's view. Those who knew its value gasped in astonishment, their eyes gleaming with envy and jealousy.

"It's actually a fish pill, even more precious than spirit jade!"

"What great luck! This is more than just a matter of doubling or tripling our investment."

"To produce such a large fish core, this sea beast must have been at least at the tenth level of cultivation in its previous life, right?"

"The sea beast fish pills have all been extracted. This batch of raw stones comes from the Xiaoluotian Ancient Battlefield, so there's nothing to doubt."

In an instant, everyone was excited and rushed to buy the jade stones.

Ning Fusang remained calm. It wasn't impossible that the man who produced the fish pills was putting on an act with Fengyunfang.

She wasn't questioning the origin of the rough stones, but she felt that it was a tactic that a gambling den would readily employ to manipulate public sentiment and ignite enthusiasm for buying rough stones.

The raw stones in the first area were quickly sold out. Because there were too many raw stones to be cut, several stone-cutting masters in Fengyunfang were invited out.

Ning Fusang only bought a small, palm-sized raw stone worth five hundred spirit stones, which was then cut open by an old man in a gray robe.

Stone chips littered the ground, and a golden, button-like ancient coin lay prominently in the old man's palm. He glanced at it and asked, "Young friend, do you wish to take this ancient coin with you, or resell it to our Fengyunfang?"

Ning Fusang hadn't even clearly seen what the ancient coin looked like yet, but she spread her hands, her attitude very clear: "Not for sale."

The old man handed her the ancient coins.

The ancient coin was somewhat heavy, covered in rust, making its original appearance unclear. Ning Fusang wouldn't bother to polish off the rust here to examine the coin's origin and purpose. Instead, she put the coin into her storage jade.

As for what Canling said about the things of the Fourth Era, Ning Fusang was willing but unable to do so.

There are requirements to reach the eighth floor. In short, you need to verify your assets.
