Regarding the performance of the stone chosen by Chen Luo, even Feng Buer shook his head after seeing it. The lottery tickets he bought this time were probably in vain.
"This is jade!" Many people commented. If jade makes no sound at all, even the worst jade can still make one or two holes.
The hostess waited for a while, then stepped forward to open the lid and take out the stone.
Chen Luo was about to speak out to stop, when suddenly the instrument made a very, very small "ding" sound.
"Speak out, finally speak out!" The crowd cheered.
"Boom!" Another sound came from another tube.
With the second "dong" sound, Chen Luo himself breathed a sigh of relief, because these two "ding dong" sounds directly touched everyone's heartstrings.
This melody and rhythm are quite advanced.
Immediately afterwards, numerous intricately designed tube holes began to produce sounds, from small to large, from sparse to dense, from single string to multiple strings, and from multiple strings to chords.
The big strings are noisy like heavy rain, and the small strings are like whispers. The strings are noisy and jumbled, and the big and small beads are falling on the jade plate.
...
The perfect sound and subtle timbre produced by this performance are just like the collective performance of many masters in ancient orchestras.
"Classical symphony!"
"Listen, in addition to wind instruments, there are also sounds of percussion instruments!"
"I heard the sound of drums!"
"Oh my god, why is there still the melodious aura of string music!"
"..."
Everyone who listened was intoxicated and dreamlike. The referee almost forgot to count the tubes.
Fortunately, after being reminded in the end, the referee came forward and counted the three types of pipes that produced sounds.
"12 holes for gold tubes, 12 holes for copper tubes, and 12 holes for jade tubes! A total of 36 holes." The referee gave the final answer.
The crowd who had been laughing just now were dumbfounded, and thunderous applause erupted from the field.
36 holes, undoubtedly the first place in this round.
In fact, not only the audience and players were surprised, but also the old referees on the stage could not keep their faces. Except for the three referees from the Riemann Empire, the other referees all looked away.
Tian Wuji didn't make a mistake, but the person he didn't make a mistake in was the person, not the stone. He believed that Chen Luo's choice must be reasonable.
Tang Zhonggu didn't make a mistake. He just thought the stone was a bit strange, but he couldn't see through it. To be on the safe side, he finally chose the jade ruler.
The Great Elder invited the referees from the Western Wasteland Leman Empire to the stage and asked them to explain why this inconspicuous black stone was so powerful.
One of the leaders, a tall old man, took a step forward and explained to everyone in half-baked words.
It turns out that this stone came from a meteorite that fell from the sky. Generally, the components in meteorites are mainly iron or graphite. But what is rare is that a meteorite that landed in the Western Wasteland was actually made of jade.
"Heavenly Fire Refines Jade!"
The agate jade in Xihuang is originally a fire-attributed jade, and its interior is extremely strong and sunny, but it pales in comparison to this meteorite jade. When the meteorite jade fell to the mortal world, it experienced rapid friction and produced
A large amount of high temperature and repeated smelting finally formed such a meteorite jade with extremely strong fire properties.
This jade looks inconspicuous and black, but it contains the heavenly fire.
Chen Luo and others gradually understood after hearing the explanation of the Leman Empire referee. Chen Luo also understood why it was so hot inside.
In an instant, an idea came to Chen Luo's mind. If he took this piece of meteorite jade and practiced it together with the thousand-year-old cold jade from the polar regions, would there be unexpected effects?
The two heavens of ice and fire might work. Chen Luo thought to himself that he could try it if he had the chance.
The Grand Elder took the stage as usual, and this time invited Mr. Lou Xiangdong from Ruili House, the vice president of the South Vietnam Chamber of Commerce, to help read out the shortlist.
"Tenth place in this round of competition: Mr. Zhang Zhongwen, a young talent from the Central Plains Jade Gang, played 12 holes!" Zhang Zhongwen was so lucky that he just made it to the finals and finished in tenth place.
"Ninth place in this round of competition: Mr. Leng Xuecheng from Arctic Hanming Tower, played 13 holes!" Leng Xuecheng, who participated for the first time, also achieved good results.
"Eighth place in this round of competition: Ou Shaoxiong from Baituo Mountain in northern Tibet, played 14 holes!" Although his main business is not jade, Ou Shaoxiong still has a certain talent, and he was lucky enough to win a runner-up in the last competition.
"The seventh place in this round of competition: Mr. Zhu Wuji from Yanbei Wuji City, played 17 holes!"
"The sixth place in this round of competition: Mr. Lou Yun from Ruililou, South Vietnam, played 17 holes!"
"The fifth place in this round of competition: Mr. Gu Lie, the prince of the Leman Empire in the Western Wasteland, played 17 holes!" The mysterious Zhu Wuji.
"The fourth place in this round of competition: Mr. Wang Huan, a casual cultivator from the Central Plains, played 18 holes!" He snatched Chen Luo's fan pendant and actually got the fourth place. Chen Luo couldn't help but look at Tian Wuji.
Be impressed.
"Third place in this round of competition: Mr. Tian Wuji from Dongyi Fuhua Building! Played 19 pipes!" Tian Wuji deserves the title, he is so stable.
"Second place in this round of competition: Mr. Tang Zhonggu from Kunyu Villa, played 21 pipes!" As the last defending champion, this result is not unexpected, because Tang Zhonggu has been preparing for this moment for a long time.
Surprisingly, the champion of this round was not Tang Zhonggu. Chen Luo looked at Tang Zhonggu who was sitting in front. His face was still a bit livid. He was taken first place by an unknown person. Thinking about it, he was really not happy.
"The first place in this round of competition, cough - cough -, Mr. Chen Luo from Xishan Ranch! Play 36 rings!" In an instant, the audience burst into applause again. This is the most exciting moment in this competition so far.
At that moment, Chen Luo's dark horse status was completely exposed.
"This must be the dark horse of the Guyu group. I heard that the Guyu group has also made it to the top ten!"
"Why is he so strong? Check his background!"
"If I had known, I would have bought more of his lottery tickets! I could have made a fortune!"
"I think I might win the championship!"
"No, Tang Zhonggu and Tian Wuji are also very strong!"
The audience was talking a lot in the audience.
At this point, the modern jade competition officially ended. Chen Luo, as a dark horse, with excellent results, swept all the contestants and advanced to the finals.
It's time to go back and prepare for the fight with Ou Shaoxiong.
Before the fight, Chen Luo had to do one more thing, which was to buy, buy, and practice.
When they came out, Chen Luo and Feng Buer were smiling, probably because they made money again from the lottery tickets they bought.
"Xiaoluo, I find that you have many advantages. You really surprise me at every turn!"
"You don't know, you haven't chosen the jade yet, but it scares my uncle. Because my uncle also bought a lot of lottery tickets this round, all for you to win."
"Uncle Feng, you bought a lottery ticket, you need to tell me about it, so I can be mentally prepared. If I had known you bought the lottery ticket, I would have run on stage in advance. It's not like we don't know kung fu." Chen Luo smiled.
said.
"Isn't this because I'm afraid that you will be distracted? Who would have thought that you have such a big heart? If it weren't for that stone, your uncle would have drank the northwest wind."
"Hey, this is the destiny of lucky people. It's mainly because of your good luck, Uncle Feng!" Chen Luo praised.
"You have such a sweet mouth, are you short of money again? You don't have any money in your pocket!"
"Wow, the one who knows Xiao Luo is my uncle." Chen Luo gave a thumbs up! "I really want to borrow some money."
"You have learned to be humble, how much can I borrow this time?"
"50,000~~30,000 is enough!" Chen Luo stretched out five fingers and pulled back two.
"You're so young, what can you buy with 30,000 taels of silver? This is 200,000 taels, take it first!" Feng Buer threw out a wad of silver notes.
It was the first time that Chen Luo saw Feng Buer being so proactive and generous. It is estimated that Feng Buer made a lot of money during the period after being eliminated. As a warrior, Feng Buer knew very well how far Chen Luo's cultivation path as a jade cultivator was.
Difficulties. This massive amount of consumable resources is not an ordinary expense.
Chen Luo put the banknote in his pocket and gave Feng Buer a big hug! Then he couldn't wait to rush up to the third floor. Based on past experience, the third floor is the best place to find large raw jade stones.
Choice. First, it is fresh, but it is not expensive. The key is that the quality is pretty good, the quantity is sufficient, and the variety is complete.
This time, Chen Luo plans to buy mainly jadeite, black jade, white jade, and sapphire. Focus on looking for fire-attribute agate jade, buy some agate jade, and refine it with the Arctic Millennium Cold Jade to see the effect.
