The moment Shangguan Yi picked up the stone-cutting knife, his temperament suddenly changed. His eyes were sharp and his mind was focused. He was like a peerless swordsman who had grasped the divine sword and was about to sweep the sword across the world.
The change in his temperament infected everyone present.
Everyone held their breath and focused their gazes on him, unblinking for fear of missing some wonderful scene.
The Shangguan family's stone viewing skills are unique and unparalleled in the world.
In addition, the children of the Shangguan family are also proficient in stone cutting and can be called experts.
And Shangguan Yi is the most outstanding descendant of this generation. It is a great honor for everyone present to see him cutting stones with their own eyes.
Under the gaze of everyone, Shangguan Yi held several small utility knives, danced wildly, and started cutting stones like a butcher cutting off a cow.
His movements were smooth and fluid, without any stagnation, as if he had rehearsed them thousands of times. They looked pleasing to the eye and mesmerizing, as if he had sublimated the stone-cutting technique to the realm of art.
"This... this is the unique technique of the Shangguan family - hundreds of armies fighting for the flow!"
Not far away, a stone-cutting master from Huangshifang exclaimed, his eyes shining brightly, and his eyes were extremely hot.
Cutting stone may seem simple, but in fact there is a lot of knowledge involved.
If you are not careful, you may destroy the spiritual crystals in the waste rock, causing the spiritual energy to leak out and greatly reduce its value.
Many masters who have been immersed in this art for hundreds of years do not dare to be careless.
Stone cutting is like alchemy, with many different techniques. The secret technique Shangguan Yi displayed at this moment is a priceless treasure to other stone cutting masters.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The small utility knife, under Shangguan Yi's swing, seemed to turn into a thunderous sword, slashing out dazzling rays of light, like an airtight net, cutting through the air and shrouding the barren rock.
.
"Click! Click! Click..."
In just a few breaths, the stone skin on the surface continued to peel off, the speed was astonishing.
"boom!"
Suddenly, a blazing aura erupted from the barren rock, and a dazzling brilliance swept out, soaring straight into the sky, and filled the air with a thick spiritual energy that could not be transformed.
"The spiritual crystal has emerged!" someone exclaimed.
Looking closely, I saw a bright and dazzling red color appearing on the surface of the barren stone.
This red color reveals a coquettish beauty, just like the comb of a rooster, which makes people unable to open their eyes and stimulates the attention of everyone present.
"hiss!"
Seeing this blush, Ye Fan heard countless people behind him suck in air at the same time.
"The best crimson crystal, and the best cockscomb red!"
"This color is really right. This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful cockscomb red color in all my years in Huangshifang!"
"It's so amazing! You are worthy of being a descendant of the Shangguan family. If you don't take action, it's enough. If you do, it's amazing!"
"A top-quality product of this quality is extremely valuable and can become the highlight of the auction!"
…
Hearing these sounds, Ye Fan raised his eyebrows and asked: "Red carp, is this kind of spiritual crystal rare?"
"Um!"
Ruan Hongli nodded and explained: "Most of the spirit crystals are colorless, and those with color are called exotic spirit crystals. Among them, purple is the most popular. Xiaofan, the imperial purple you just opened is the king of kings.
, unparalleled! But this cockscomb red is the best among the red spiritual crystals. It is also priceless and extremely rare. Only a few pieces can be produced in a year!"
"What's more important is that this piece of waste stone is big enough. Since it is Cockscomb Red, it means that the volume of the spiritual crystal contained in it is very large!"
"That's it!" Ye Fan nodded.
While everyone was marveling, Shangguan Yi was still focused, his eyes focused, as if everyone present did not exist, and only the barren rock in front of him remained in his eyes.
Next, his movement of drawing the knife suddenly changed. It was not like opening and closing the knife as before. Instead, it was like holding an embroidery needle, slowly "wiping" along the stone skin, wiping away the red stone skin.
Lose.
If a corner of a top-quality crimson crystal like this is scratched, it may cause the spiritual energy in it to leak out and damage its value. Even Shangguan Yi doesn't dare to slack off.
As time goes by, the stone skin continues to break away, and the bright red color becomes larger and larger, forming a large area, just like the red clouds on the horizon in the evening, dazzling!
The volume of this spiritual crystal is more than half a person tall, and it is countless times larger than Ye Fan's egg-sized purple caltrop ice crystal.
However, the spiritual crystal seems to be mixed with some impurities, and it does not look as clear, transparent, fresh and translucent as the purple caltrop ice crystal.
"Why……"
Someone sighed slightly and said: "What a pity! If this top-grade crimson crystal is also of ice, it will definitely shock the entire imperial city and attract countless wealthy people to come out and compete for it! But now, it is mixed with impurities, and its value is
It’s inevitable that there will be some discounts!”
At this moment, Shangguan Yi glanced at the whole audience and said: "My colleagues, I do not intend to sell this top-quality crimson crystal, but because of the previous bet, I would like to ask you to do me a favor and buy this top-quality crimson crystal for you."
Please estimate the price!"
Suddenly, a strong voice came from the crowd:
"Young Master Shangguan, if you can trust me, Mr. Song, let me do the valuation!"
As he said this, a middle-aged man wearing a long gown walked out, showing an aura of arrogance in his movements.
After seeing his appearance clearly, there were bursts of exclamations from the audience:
"Master Song is here!"
"This gambling fight can alarm Master Song. It's such a big scene!"
"In terms of his attainments on wild rocks, Master Song is definitely a dean-level figure!"
…
"Who is the second person?" Ye Fan asked curiously.
"Song Tianyou, the owner of this barren stone workshop!"
The Sixth Prince introduced: "Master Song has been dealing with wild rocks all his life, and his vision is extraordinary. Even my father highly respects him. If he is the judge to judge the value of spiritual crystals, it will be the most fair!"
"Oh." Ye Fan nodded.
At this time, Master Song walked forward quickly and carefully looked at the top-grade crimson crystal that was half a man tall, with excitement on his face.
"Young Master Shangguan, you are really talented. You can find such a treasure right away! Such a huge top-quality crimson crystal is the best in the past ten years. In my eyes, it is worth 50 million black black stones!"
Fifty million!
Hearing this astronomical figure, everyone present was shocked and felt huge waves in their hearts.
Fifty million black black stones, if used as military expenses, would be enough to arm a million-strong army to the teeth.
Most of the second-level forces cannot escape this huge sum of money. Only the Great Xia Dynasty, the Yunhai Immortal Sect or the Twelve Ancient Clan have the financial resources to purchase this spiritual crystal.
When he heard this number, Ye Fan also raised his eyebrows.
In terms of color and grade, this top-quality crimson crystal is not as good as the previous purple caltrop ice crystal, but its volume is dozens of times that of the purple caltrop ice crystal, so it is unexpected and reasonable to have such a value.
…
Shangguan Yi didn't say anything after offering such a sky-high price for the top-quality crimson crystal. Instead, he picked up the utility knife and walked towards the second barren stone.
The size of this piece of waste rock is much smaller, only about the size of a basketball.
However, the lines on the surface are more complex and mysterious, as if forming a simple totem.
"Click! Click! Click..."
Shangguan Yi's sword was as clean as lightning, and his movements were clean and neat, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air.
Soon, a skylight was opened on the surface of the barren stone, and a refreshing green appeared in front of everyone. It looked so pleasing to the eye and crystal clear.
"It's green! It's green! The spiritual crystal is coming out again!" someone shouted excitedly.
Generally speaking, when a man hears someone shouting "green" to you, he will always become furious, even feel humiliated, and want to hit him with his fists.
But in Huangshifang, "green" is definitely a very good word, which means that a spiritual crystal has been opened, and it is a different kind of spiritual crystal.
Looking closely, I saw a "skylight" cut out of the surface of the barren stone, showing a crystal clear green, just like the new leaves of the yellow sun tree in early spring.
"Chu Yang Green! It's the top color again!" Master Song's eyes were shining brightly, and he shouted loudly.
Although the green color is like purple, what comes out of this barren stone is the best green among greens, Chuyang Green, which is on the same level as cockscomb blood.
"Hey... it's a pity! Although this is Chuyang Green, the size of this piece of waste stone is much smaller than the top-grade crimson crystal just now!"
"It is already very powerful to be able to fire two spiritual crystals in a row, but in terms of value, it is definitely much less than the previous one!"
"That's right! It's impossible to reach 50 million. If you can reach 10 million, you'll be exhausted!"
Hearing the comments from the people around him, Shangguan Yi's expression did not change at all and he continued cutting stones.
His hands were quite steady, without a trace of shaking, and his expression was extremely authoritative. It didn't look like he was cutting stone, but like the most outstanding master sculptor carving a beautiful work of art, using all his skills.
"Zizzi! Zizzi! Zizzi..."
The sound of cutting stone kept coming, and the stone skin peeled off layer by layer.
The next moment, an incredible scene appeared in front of everyone's eyes——
The early sun green spread all the way inward, but suddenly a dazzling imperial purple appeared, impacting the visual nerves of everyone present.
This sudden purple color is like a blooming violet, with a fascinating dreamy and mysterious color!
"Huh?"
At this moment, even Ye Fan was shocked. He didn't know why. It was clearly the Chuyang Green Spirit Crystal, so what was going on with this sudden purple color?
"Oh my God!"
Suddenly, the well-informed Master Song exclaimed, looking as if he had seen a ghost. He opened his mouth wide enough to swallow a duck egg, and his eyes were fixed on that noble purple color with extremely hot eyes.
And around him, all the other onlookers had the same expression, as if they had been given a restraining spell, and stood there in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.
"What's going on?" Ye Fan looked confused.
"Brother Ye, this...this is the legendary two-color spiritual crystal!" the sixth prince replied.
