Don't stand in my way

Chapter 8: Strange herbs in the box
If the secret box is just like this, it will be fine. Someone finds a magic scroll from the secret box, and someone opens a rare treasure.

Most of the secret boxes are empty or have some insignificant debris, and because of the special formation, no one can detect the internal situation from the outside. When purchasing a secret box, you can only rely on your own experience. and luck.

Finally, let’s talk about the higher-level stone gambling. Before the rise of secret boxes, some forces liked to sink items into spiritual veins and use spiritual liquid to nourish them as inheritance.

The world has changed, the power has been ruined, and under the power of time, a layer of stone skin gradually condenses outside the treasure, which looks like an ordinary stone.In addition, some spiritual materials are often bred near spiritual veins. The higher the level of the spiritual veins, the more likely it is that the mined ores contain rare spiritual materials.

The ore near the partial spiritual veins has been washed away by spiritual energy for a long time. The stone skin has an isolation effect. Without cutting it, there is no way to know what is inside.Some gamblers love and hate it. There is a saying that one knife will make you poor and one knife will make you rich.

"I see that Brother Shi is very lucky, so I would like to invite Brother Shi to go see him and try his luck." Zhou Li winked.Quite familiar.

Wei Changsheng was also aroused at this moment, and thought it would be good to come and experience it. "Brother, it's hard to refuse such kindness, so I have the audacity to go along with you to get to know him better."

Several people left the restaurant and headed straight to the north of the city. Far away, they could hear the sound of people and the excitement.

In the north corner of the city, a caravan with different costumes set up a temporary shop with many tall tents, which were colorful and interesting. In the gaps between the tents, many monks and merchants took advantage of every opportunity to set up various street stalls.Small wooden buildings rise from the ground in the center.

A large number of warriors, monks, and mortals came here in an endless stream. The crowds were bustling, and they were bargaining around the street stalls, or constantly coming in and out of the tent entrances.

"Take a look, take a look, the newly unearthed treasures from the ruins, the gods, demons and divine weapons that you risked your life to find in the ancient battlefield. Brother over there, take a look if you don't want to buy them."

"We're hiring, we're hiring. The century-old store, Wang's Trading Company, is recruiting ten clerks for a period of three years. The salary will be generous. They will be full soon."

"Pastry, freshly baked pastry, a unique recipe from China, it can strengthen the body. The monks have agreed to eat it. Don't miss it when you pass by. Girl, please take it. This is your money."

When Wei Changsheng heard this, he paused and looked at the sound.

A small stall set up several large steamers and was very busy. It was obvious that the sales were good. Wei Changsheng happened to be a little hungry at this time.

"Man, four pastries, pack them up." He handed over a piece of silver.

"Okay, hold on tight." The waiter quickly wrapped four portions of pastries and handed them over. Wei Changsheng took them, one for each person, and distributed them to everyone.

Pick up a piece and put it in your mouth. It is soft and delicate, and the sweet and sour taste goes straight to your heart. It is obvious that the ingredients are exquisite and the craftsmanship is excellent.Yes, Wei Changsheng nodded secretly.

The group of people walked deeper and deeper, and the surroundings became more and more prosperous. When they reached the depths, the small stalls had disappeared. Various large tents of different shapes were scattered in an orderly manner around the wooden building.

A few people walked and watched, and finally stopped in front of a chic small building.There is a hanging tag in front of the building, and the two big characters "gambling shop" are very eye-catching.There is a couplet on the table at the door.

On the left: You will win every time you gamble, and your house will be full of money.

On the right: If you encounter a gambling situation, you will definitely win, and if you win, you will gain gold and silver.

Horizontal criticism: no disadvantages.

The small building didn't look big, but when a few people walked in, it suddenly became clear.There are several acres in the building. I don’t know if the small building itself is a valuable treasure, or if there are monks who use their magical powers to turn mustard seeds into Sumeru.

The small building is divided into three areas, one for stone gambling, one for treasure gambling, and one for secret box gambling. Unlike the bustling outside, most people here are silent, and occasionally talking and discussing, bargaining, are all soft-spoken.

Obviously they are all familiar with the rules of the gambling house, so as not to disturb other people's judgment and cause disputes.Wei Changsheng had excellent eyesight and recognized that many senior officials of the Wei family were here.

Gambling stones, gambling treasures, and gambling secret boxes have different specifications, and the currencies used for transactions are also different. Most common gambling treasures can be traded with gold and silver elixirs. Most gambling stones can be traded with elixirs, spiritual fluids, spirit stones, and heaven and earth spiritual objects. Secret boxes can be traded based on The materials are different, both are available.

Wei Changsheng and the others were now mortal and had average wealth, so they could only go to the gambling area to try their luck.

"It's shipped, it's shipped" At this time, a small but dense sound came, obviously very excited.I saw the thirteenth master of the Wei Mansion in the stone gambling area, with a smile on his face and enthusiasm in his eyes.Staring closely at the stonecutter in front of him.

"Congratulations to this customer, a hundred catties of black iron is offered." The merchant on the side shouted loudly, quite bewitching.The onlookers couldn't hold their hands, and in a short time, more than ten transactions were completed. Unfortunately, except for one or two who bought ordinary spiritual materials and barely recovered their principal, the others all lost their money.

"The Thirteenth Master is very lucky. One hundred kilograms of black iron is worth at least seven hundred elixirs." Zhou Li's eyes grew hot and he wanted to gamble on the stones. Fortunately, the guards held him back and he could hold back his thoughts.

Wei Changsheng laughed dumbly and ignored him, leading Uncle Fu straight towards the gambling area.

This area looks very down-to-earth. Dozens of businessmen have set up stalls. On the stalls are placed a variety of utensils, dusty treasure fragments, small and exquisite swords, guns, swords and halberds, pots and pans, orbs and utensils, and some There are various kinds of secret boxes made of wood and stone, which dazzle those who look at them.

Choosing a stall at random, Wei Changsheng squatted down and chatted with the waiter, "Senior brother, I wonder what the details are here? How should we trade?"

The waiter probably hadn't opened a business for a long time. When he saw someone asking, he cheered up instantly, "Sir, this is a gambling game. It's very easy. You can take a look and pick whatever you like. If you like it, you can try it out. .”

The waiter looked around and said in a low voice, "The things in my stall all have great origins. Look at this vase. It was a treasure collected by the trading company last month. This is from What the ruins bring out is that no one knows how to use it, so they can only sell it with heartache. It is not expensive, only 8000 taels of silver."

Wei Changsheng looked at the bottle pointed by the clerk. It was made of rough workmanship and made of ordinary material. It looked like a bottle for flower arrangements. The corners of his eyes twitched slightly. This guy really took himself for granted.

"Senior brother, I'm short of money. I didn't bring any silver. Let's look at other things." Unexpectedly, the boy who looked like a novice at first glance was not fooled and kept shouting, "Don't leave. If you like it, you can I’ll give you a [-]% discount.”

Wei Changsheng waved his hand and walked away. He looked at several stalls one after another and found nothing. Suddenly his heart moved. He closed his eyes and calmed down, activated his spiritual light, and tried to understand the spirituality around him.

Unexpectedly, by accident, I discovered a new use of spiritual light. It was as if I was in chaos, and there was nothing in my eyes except balls of light of different sizes.

There are spiritual fluctuations coming from somewhere, some are strong and some are weak, the gambling area is scattered, most of them are very weak, there are only three or four slightly stronger spiritual fluctuations.Most of the strong ones come from the monks in the stone gambling area, and obviously many of them are pregnant with treasures.

Wei Changsheng was a little confused. For some reason, he could see the spiritual light on the monks, but he had no reaction at all to the original stones and most of the secret boxes. He could only observe some wooden secret boxes. Secret boxes with this kind of texture were the only ones that could be seen. The least valuable of the secret boxes,
He thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out. After a while, he simply forgot about it.Without saying a word, he followed the strongest wave.

Wei Changsheng stopped in front of a stall in the second half.Nearly half of the stalls were filled with strange items of various types, most of which looked ordinary and did not look like they contained any treasures.

"Senior brother, how do you sell these things?" He knelt down and silently looked at the things on display, played with a glass bead in his hand, and then put it down.

"The fixed price set by the owner is ten Jingyuan Pills each. There is a premium for payment of one thousand, three hundred taels in silver. You can choose whatever you want, no counter-offering." The waiter was a little lazy. Perhaps because Wei Changsheng was young, he didn't seem to want to buy it. look like.

The Jingyuan Pills mentioned by the clerk are a kind of currency circulated among warriors and can be used to assist in cultivation.The origin is unknown, but over the years, the prescriptions are similar and can be seen everywhere.

On the Jingyuan Pill, there is also a kind of spiritual elixir, which is generally circulated in the hands of monks. Each major holy place has its own unique elixir, which is widely circulated, such as the Qingling Pill of Wuliang Sheng Sect, and Bai Yang of Yulong Tianzong. Dan, Changrong Mo Sect's dust-cleansing pill, is of similar value.

Compared with the Jingyuan Pill, Mortal Silver Taels are said to cost one hundred taels, but in fact, a premium is required, about 130 taels to exchange for one.For slightly more expensive treasures, only spirit pills, spirit liquids and spirit stones are recognized.The tiger bone flowers that Wei Changsheng had used were sold for [-] Jingyuan pills outside.

Wei Changsheng said nothing and asked Uncle Fu to take out one thousand, three hundred taels of silver, pick up a small wooden box, and turned around to leave.After a few casual exchanges with Zhou Li, he left immediately and left the gambling house with Uncle Fu without looking back.

It was almost dusk. In the underground quiet room, Wei Changsheng closed the door, holding a jade knife and prying it along the edge of the wooden box. After a moment, there was a creak, and the wooden box suddenly popped open, revealing a round object. , the outside is full of polishing marks, and the origin of the type cannot be seen.

He was not in a hurry, closed his eyes and activated the spiritual light. At this moment, it was very close at hand, and a strange plant gradually appeared in his spiritual vision. This was the predecessor of the thing in the wooden box.

The stem is like a sunflower, with three or four apricot tree-like leaves, a few small light yellow flowers on the top, and a long and narrow fruit, one finger wide and three inches long, with strange lines on the skin.

This is? ?Wei Changsheng looked puzzled, as if he had seen similar records somewhere.

The sun rises and the moon turns, the library is in the pavilion.

The Zangshu Pavilion covers an area of ​​more than one hundred acres and is divided into three floors. The first floor does not involve practice, but some common sense, classics, biographies and legends.You can browse it at will.

The second floor is different. It is the martial arts mentality and martial arts collected by the Wei Mansion for many years, which corresponds to the acquired and innate stage of martial arts.It can be exchanged for school rating or resources.

The third floor is relatively small and the most heavily guarded. It is the mental method and magical power of the monk stage. They are all secrets that are not taught and must be exchanged for meritorious deeds or spiritual materials.

On the first floor, Wei Changsheng was holding a copy of "Jiuzhou Chronicle" and was studying it attentively.

"It is said in the book that this realm is called the Jiuzhou realm, and nine is an imaginary number. In fact, there are hundreds of states in the Eastern Border alone, some large and some small. In the larger states, a mortal will never have the opportunity to cross the state in his entire life. Not to mention Middle Earth, Western Desert, Southern Wilderness, Northern Territory, and overseas."
