Even if the processed stone is discovered by a buyer later, I can only blame myself for my clumsy eyesight. I can't even tell the difference between genuine and fake goods. I can't blame others. Betting on stones and gambling on stones. Since it is gambling, it is inevitable that nine out of ten bets will be cheated!
Tai Wei sneered and said: "Those who dare to open a stone shop must have powerful backing behind them. Generally, those who are tricked are novices or newcomers. Naturally, they dare not make trouble. No matter how depressed they are, they can only swallow dead cats."
Is this a big shop tricking customers? Maybe it is, but as long as you are an experienced stone gambler, you will generally not be deceived by that kind of artificial stone.
Zheng Feng walked around but didn't find any stones that he liked. The small and medium-sized stones were all similar and could not be distinguished. As for the large stones, he would not touch them because the price listed was really unacceptable and he would not pay the price.
The price of a heavy treasure cannot afford to buy a stone several meters in size.
After researching to no avail, Zheng Feng left the stone shop and wandered from store to store. On the way, Taiwei also told him simple techniques for identifying stones. He didn't mention any profound information because Taiwei himself didn't know much about it. Naturally,
It's impossible to teach him.
Zheng Feng visited the stone shops in most of the market, and he saw all kinds of strange stones. So far, the largest stone he saw was the super large volcanic rock in front of him with a volume of more than 100 meters. The huge volcanic rock emitted
It emits a strong fire element and stands among the many stones. It stands out like a king and is particularly eye-catching. Even if you have not entered the store, you can still see this huge stone from a distance.
After questioning, Zheng Feng learned that the item that the stone owner wanted to exchange for when he wanted to cut open this giant stone was actually a fire-type emperor-level divine beast crystal core. Zheng Feng sighed at the price, and he couldn't even grab it if he tried.
I got a beast crystal from a mythical beast, and it was also an emperor-level beast...
When Zheng Feng stood watching the super giant stone from a distance, Tai Wei said: "When I came here hundreds of years ago, this super giant stone was already standing in that shop. Before that, it was said that it had been placed there.
It has been for tens of thousands of years, but no one has been willing to take action. Although there are many holy beasts and even mythical beasts on the island who are interested in this giant stone, the price is too heavy, and I am afraid that they will lose everything."
"The crystal core of an emperor-level beast is just to exchange for a stone of unknown depth. The price is too outrageous!" For such a sky-high price, Zheng Feng only felt that either the person who bought the stone was crazy, or the person who sold the stone was crazy.
.
"This huge stone is said to have been excavated during the excavation of Huoling Island. It is the largest natural stone unearthed so far. It has not been processed or modified. It is just like this. Such a huge piece of fire rock can still emit a rich aroma.
There must be a treasure hidden in the fire element aura, but the rock formation is too thick. Even Uncle Leo came to explore it personally, but he was still unable to determine what was hidden inside, so this kind of price tag is not too exorbitant."
Tai Wei said helplessly: "The Stone Master has made it clear that he will change if he wants to, and he will be killed if he doesn't. Anyway, he has been waiting slowly."
"After such a long time, the owner of this stone has not passed away, or no one has used force?" Zheng Feng muttered. Such a precious stone has been placed for tens of thousands of years, and it has never happened.
Question, the security on Huoling Island is too good, right?
"The owner of the stone is Uncle Leo's friend. He is also a divine beast, and he is only one step away from breaking through his own bloodline, so he requested the emperor-level divine beast crystal core."
Taiyi rolled his eyes and said, "I forgot to tell you that Uncle Leo's friend is said to be a tortoise soul beast..."
Turtle soul beasts can be said to be the longest-lived soul beasts recognized. Even ordinary wild turtles have a lifespan comparable to that of earth-level powerhouses. If a special breed can live longer, heaven-level powerhouses may not be able to
Got them.
Once the turtle becomes a spirit and can practice, thousands of years will be like a dream to them, especially the old turtle the tail mentioned is actually a divine turtle. With the lifespan of the turtle family, the giant dragon
Their longevity is not enough in front of them. I am afraid that all the soul beasts of this generation on Huoling Island are dead now, but that old turtle can still live well.
No wonder the tail said that the Stone Master was not in a hurry and could wait slowly. It did have the qualifications!
"Forget it, I'm not mad at gambling on such huge rocks. I'd better pick some ordinary small stones to practice my skills." Zheng Feng sighed. That was a real big gamble, but he didn't even have the capital to gamble.
After visiting many stone shops, Zheng Feng finally chose only three small stones of about ten centimeters. The price was reasonable, and each stone only cost more than ten red fruits. Anyway, those kinds of fruits are only useful for fantasy beasts, even if
Nothing could be cut, and Zheng Feng didn't feel heartache.
Although he said that, this was Zheng Feng's first time gambling on stones. Of course he also wanted to gain something. Even if he couldn't make back his money, at least he could cut out a small gadget, right? Otherwise, it would be too bad!
Stone cutting is also an academic field that pays great attention to skills. Zheng Feng does not have that ability, so he directly asks a stone shop to cut it for him. Every stone shop will have a spirit beast that is proficient in stone cutting, just for the customers who gamble on stones.
If nothing is cut out, the stone cutting is considered free. If something valuable is cut out, the stone shop will charge a commission of about 5% of the value of the item. This is a rule handed down and must be followed.
If you don’t want to be paid to cut stones, then cut them yourself. However, if a layman cuts stones, there is a real possibility that the treasure will be cut into pieces due to improper stone cutting skills. That would be a real tragedy. For safety reasons, guests who do not know how to cut stones should still cut stones.
I will choose to let the stone shop cut it for me.
Of course, if the treasures in the stone are damaged by cutting on behalf of the shop, compensation must be paid. The amount of compensation is about 80% of the value of the damaged treasure, so there is no need to worry about losing all your money if your treasure is cut by the store.
Under such conditions, the stone cutters provided by the store all have absolutely pure knife skills. Except for a very few special stones, they can cut them with zero damage.
The stone cutter provided by the store where Zheng Feng bought stones was a heaven-level fast fire mantis. He was born with a pair of extremely sharp blades. With the high-temperature heating of the flames and extremely fast movements, he could easily cut with one knife.
The cut of the stone is as smooth as a mirror, and the moment it is inserted into the knife is all under the control of the Swift Fire Mantis itself.
Handing out the stone, Swift Fire Mantis took the stone respectfully and took Zheng Feng to the stone cutting room. Only when the stone cutting room is absolutely quiet can the stone cutter be able to cut stones with peace of mind without being affected by the outside world to the greatest extent.
The stone-cutting room is a quiet underground secret room. There are many animal crystal lamps inlaid on the stone walls. Although it is a basement, it does not feel dark at all. Instead, the lights are bright. There are not many things in the simple stone-cutting room.
There is a red stone platform.
Tai Wei said: "That's a stone cutting table. I don't know its specific function, but stone cutters like to cut stones on the stone cutting table. It seems that this can ensure the success rate of cutting."
Zheng Feng looked at the stone platform carefully. The surface of the stone platform was flat and smooth, and it exuded a hot breath all the time. He couldn't understand why the stone was cut in this environment, but since the stone cutter liked the stone cutting platform, then this
Things must have a reason for existing.
He was worried about disturbing the Swift Fire Mantis, so he didn't ask any questions. He just opened his eyes out of curiosity to see how the Swift Fire Mantis cut the stone.
The stone-cutting process is allowed to be watched by customers, otherwise the customers will not know whether the store will change the stone materials midway, and the treasure cut out will be said to be waste stone. In order to reassure customers, the stone-cutting process must be completely open to the public.
Swift Fire Mantis placed Zheng Feng's three stones smoothly on the stone cutting table, arranging them side by side. Its two huge eyes stared at the stones intently. It slightly raised its double sickles. The sharp sickles turned from dark red to bright red and orange.
, orange, light yellow...
The three stones on the stone cutting table were all chosen by Zheng Feng himself, and Tai Tai did not make a sound or offer any suggestions.
The color of the sickle was changing step by step, and the temperature was getting higher and higher, finally stopping at light yellow. Although there was no flame visible on the blade, the extremely high temperature caused the surrounding air to distort...
