Rainbow Moon Seeking Immortality
Chapter 9: Stone Breaking
After a short period of noise, the tent fell into a deathly silence. Everyone held their breath and stared intently at the stone mass in the young man's hand, which was gradually changing colors.
Curiosity, shock, disbelief...
Thousands of emotions surged into everyone's hearts, silently looking forward to a miracle happening.
Jiang He, who entered the Stone Gambling Shop together with the crowd who heard the sound, stood in front of a counter, picked up a hard stone, weighed it, played with it, and looked at Fang Yuan from time to time.
"It's a stone within a stone, what a pity..."
"It's all such joy, how can Gu insects be so good..."
Amidst the bursts of regret and ridicule from everyone, Fang Yuan's expression remained unchanged, he reached out from the brocade-covered tray in front of him, took one of the only two stubborn stones with purple-gold patterns, and began to unravel it again. Shi, his eyes are burning and his expression is firm.
Seeing this, Jiang He, who recalled the plot, knew it.
Inside those two stubborn stones with purple and gold patterns, there is a second-level rare Gu insect, a mangy soil toad worth five hundred yuan stones!
However, Jiang He didn't intend to step forward and buy the two amethyst stones. Fang Yuan definitely wouldn't sell them anyway, so he simply let the plot develop as usual.
As an indirect cause of the death of the short-lived ghost Jia Jinsheng, Jia Fu was forced to consume a level 4 Gu insect, Bamboo Gentleman, and then unexpectedly attracted the level 5 strongman God Capture Tie Xue Leng...
When Fang Yuan began to rub the uneven 'mud ball' in his hand, stroking away the dust on the surface, mixed with fine particles, they fell one after another, attracting whispers from the people around him.
Perhaps it was because of the farce about the stone within the stone that the onlookers did not dare to make a conclusion lightly and looked at the 'mud ball' with attention.
The size of the 'mud ball' became smaller and smaller, until it was as big as a palm. A voice came from outside the tent:
"Boy, take it easy. I, Jia Jinsheng, bought this clay ball!"
A young Gu Master who was dressed luxuriously and arrogant opened the door curtain and entered the stone gambling shop. His tone was so loud that it made everyone present feel nervous.
But when they saw the word engraved with square jade on his waist, a few people slightly retracted their necks, raised their eyes, and showed an expression that was nothing more than this.
Wearing gold, jade, and gorgeous clothes, it is difficult to hide the fact that he is weak...
When the Gu masters in the tent saw this, they all saluted him and said respectfully: "I've met the Second Young Master!"
The identity of the visitor is about to be revealed.
It was Jia Jinsheng, a rank-4 powerhouse and Jia Fu's half-brother.
In the crowd, Jiang He stood with his arms crossed, watching the tug-of-war that was about to begin between Fang Yuan and Jia Jinsheng.
Until Fang Yuan shouted, "...could it be that you want to bully me, Gu Yue, in public?"
Immediately, the crimson true energy in the empty orifice was used at will, and the second-level intermediate cultivation level was undoubtedly revealed, which seemed to be extremely unexpected in the crowd.
Encouraged by Fang Yuan's words, the Gu masters in the tent gradually rushed towards Jia Jinsheng with a fierce momentum.
Those who dare to bully us, Gu Yue, in Gu Yue’s village?
Seeing the sudden reversal of the situation, Jia Jinsheng's expression changed drastically. He had no time to find the culprit who had first stirred up the crowd, so he hurriedly changed his tune.
Fang Yuan glanced at Jiang He in the crowd, turned his head, ignored it, and concentrated on rubbing the 'mud ball' in his palm.
Gua!
A slightly faint toad cry echoed among the tents, indicating that it was a living Gu.
In contrast to the shock on everyone's face, Jia Jinsheng's face became increasingly sinister.
Fang Yuan's expression remained as before, he was calm and unhurried, he activated his true energy to refine the toad that had just finished sleeping, and spoke out the toad's heel in a calm tone, completely shattering Jia Jinsheng's last illusion.
Watching Jia Jinsheng pay Fang Yuan five hundred yuan stones on the spot, and take the last purple gold stone with him, and walk out of the tent without looking back, leaving all the Gu masters with stunned faces, Jiang He slowly withdrew his gaze.
"That boy just bought stones with purple and gold colors. Give me two of them!"
I don't know who was the first to shout. Everyone who had regained consciousness was moved by the wind. They rushed to the counter one after another and fought for the stones, setting off a stone-breaking craze for a while.
Jiang He, who was forced to retreat a little further away from the counter due to being pushed by others, remained unmoved. He turned his eyes slightly and cast a strange look at a Gu Master clerk in the corner of the tent. .
The other party obviously noticed Jiang He's gaze and turned his head a little embarrassed to avoid looking at each other.
Glancing at the crowd in front of him who was caught up in some kind of fanaticism, Jiang He did not choose to expose the clerk's trick, nor did he hope to wake up others.
He did not leave, but joined the crazy crowd to buy hard stones.
The difference is that he is not obsessed with purple-gold stones. He chooses them very casually, relying solely on his eyes.
Considering his financial situation in the eyes of outsiders, Jiang He only purchased five hard stones, asked someone to remove two of them on the spot, and chose to pack up the remaining three stones and take them away.
Unless Jiang He himself wanted to try this move, it was a popular activity in the Gu world. A brief taste of it would satisfy his curiosity in the previous life, but it was also a taste. He didn't think he could achieve another amazing luck.
In addition, he deliberately laid the groundwork for future abnormalities in his own cultivation and Gu insects.
If someone asks further questions in the future, they can evade the explanation until the solution is obtained.
Of course, this is the last option. Obtaining the poison by unraveling the stone still lacks credibility.
After all, luck is a mysterious and elusive thing...
(God’s will, His Holiness: Oh, really?)
When Jiang He formally stood up and left the tent, he unexpectedly saw several Gu Master clerks quietly transporting a batch of hard stones into the tent at an unnoticed side door.
Unlike ordinary stubborn stones, this batch of stubborn stones has a much larger number of purple-gold lines and spots.
By activating the crescent-shaped pupil Gu, Jiang He actually distinguished that on very few stubborn stones with purple-gold lines, there were traces of residual paint that were not completely processed.
The corners of Jiang He's mouth twitched.
…
The rainbow moon was like a plate, hanging high in the sky.
After completing the subsequent purchases, Jiang He returned to the village and saw Jiang Ya sleeping on his bed. He simply climbed onto the roof and counted the harvest.
After leaving the gambling stone shop, Jiang He searched among the tents and finally found the last item on the list of purchased Gu insects.
As a short-term target, Wang Da, the daily imaginary enemy, was analyzed based on the intelligence brought by the original plot.
The second-level Gu insect Shadow, which has the function of stealth and movement, can be restrained by using the Flash Gu when encountering the enemy, making it impossible to use it for a short time. He has already purchased it from the family, so it is not troublesome to handle it.
At that time, the only thing that made him feel apprehensive was the second-level first poisonous Gu, Love and Separation, which was made by Wang Da killing his wife and taking her heart!
Its poison was extremely strong, and even the third-level healing Gu worm might not be able to effectively treat it.
For this reason, Jiang He was forced to buy Gu worms and make corresponding measures to prepare.
As for buying another storage Gu worm, Jiang He did not choose to do so.
Concentrating his mind and looking inward at the empty cavity, at this moment, a group of Gu worms of various shapes were swimming in the crimson sea of true essence, chasing and playing.
At present, after the caravan purchased, the number of Gu worms owned by Jiang He himself, not counting the one-time consumption of Gu, is nearly nine.
Gu masters refine Gu, use Gu, and raise Gu.
The feeding needs of nine Gu worms are really cumbersome. Anyway, unless you can buy the third-level elder Gu, otherwise, another second-level flower bud Gu can't hold so many Yuanshi, at most you can dig a few more pits to cover it.
Jiang He was not worried about the cost of feeding the Gu worms. With the fourth-turn Tian Yuanbao Junlian as a guarantee, he did not have to worry at all.
What made him cautious was to avoid exposing too many Gu worms and arousing suspicion. Even though he had checked in at the gambling stone shop and left a record of understanding the stones, it was not enough to eliminate suspicion.
Before finding a reason that convinced others, Jiang He needed to cover up as much as possible and extend the exposure time point, so that he would have more time and energy to plan for his long-term goal - escaping from Qingmao Mountain.
Bathing in the blue moonlight, Jiang He took a deep breath and looked up at the bright moon.
The moon in the Gu world was not like the previous life, with visible, large and small impact craters, but the surface was as bright as jade, as smooth as a plate, emitting a magnificent and holy moonlight, which was fascinating.
After a moment of distraction, Jiang He suddenly woke up.
With a thought, he took out the three stubborn stones that he had brought back from the gambling stone shop from the flower bud Gu.
The three stones were all the size of ostrich eggs and had slightly different shapes.
Jiang He held one of them, and the Moonlight Gu activated it as he wished. A faint blue light flashed in his palm, corroding the surface of the stubborn stone.
Gradually, more and more broken stones and powder fell from his palm, and the stubborn stone was also worn away.
After a while, the volume of the stubborn stone was reduced by more than half, and it was only the size of a peach. Jiang He stopped activating it, weighing the stone in his hand, but in his heart he recalled the process of Fang Yuan breaking the stone with his bare hands in the gambling stone shop, and compared it with it.
"When Fang Yuan activated the Moonlight Gu to dissolve the stone, more dust fell than debris. In addition to finding the right gap to grind it away, each cutting angle was extremely tricky, almost cutting the stone into a sphere by constantly cutting the edges.
Just like ordinary people cutting watermelon with a knife, it is easy to cut it into pieces, but it is extremely difficult to cut it into a smooth sphere.
In this way, it can not only avoid the damage of the internal Gu worms to the greatest extent, but also achieve the purpose of slowly advancing and ensuring progress."
Looking at Jiang He's own results, it seems nothing unusual when viewed up close, but once it is pulled away and examined, it can still be noticed with squinting eyes. It is more like an ellipsoid with slightly flattened sides, and there are slightly abrupt small straight edges in some places.
"Your craftsmanship is still not good enough!"
Jiang He sighed, but was not discouraged.
Fang Yuan had been in the world for 500 years in his previous life, and his knowledge was broad. He had used countless Gu worms. His knowledge and understanding of Gu worms was far higher than Jiang He's.
This bare-handed stone-cutting may seem boring and insignificant, but it can reveal the Gu Master's control and knowledge of the Gu worm.
If you don't even have a deep understanding and control of the Gu worm, how can you use it and release it at will?
It's no wonder that when Fang Yuan first showed his bare-handed stone-cutting skills in the gambling stone shop, he attracted people's attention.
As I said before, the cultivation of Gu Masters, raising Gu, refining Gu and using Gu, each of which is enough for Gu Masters to study for a lifetime.
After three stubborn stones were worn out one after another, Jiang He felt a little unsatisfied.
He clapped his hands and shook off the dust.
Looking at the scattered stone powder, Jiang He's eyes still flashed with disappointment.
It must be admitted that when Jiang He bought the stubborn stone from the gambling stone shop, he did have a gambling element in his heart.
Who wouldn't be moved when seeing Fang Yuan open a toad?
Not lucky?
What if?
What if I also get a rare Gu worm...
"Not everyone is as lucky as Ma Ershazi. To get Gu by dissolving stones, one still needs the aura of a protagonist!"
...
Guyue Village, school dormitory.
Fang Yuan stared at a limp Gu worm in his palm.
There was still some broken stone powder on the ground, with some purple-gold fragments in it.
This is the poisonous insect that was accidentally released from the sixth purple gold fossil.
He stroked it with his fingers and lowered his eyes to concentrate.
