This red-red stone is a specialty of active volcanic areas, and its material is as delicate and warm as jade.
Common people living nearby like to look for higher-quality stones to polish and carve into various accessories.
It is called red jade, or fire jade, and the one with bright red color is the top grade.
Tang Zhen cut through the stone with one sword, revealing its dazzling texture, which looked beautiful under the sunlight.
At this moment, Tang Zhen felt something in his heart.
"Immediately send some people to search for these red stones and transport them all to Loucheng.
Let a special person be responsible for sales, and let Lou Ling be responsible for planning. At the same time, let the word out that I want a piece of extremely beautiful red jade.
If anyone can get it, I will buy it at a high price."
Tang Zhen's order confused everyone and they couldn't figure out what he was going to do.
They were obviously looking for spiritual beads, so why did they suddenly dig up rocks again?
The Lord of the City always does things unexpectedly, leaving people completely confused.
When the results are obtained, outsiders will suddenly realize what kind of secrets are hidden.
Therefore, I became more and more curious, what did Tang Zhen want?
But if Tang Zhen didn't say anything, they would definitely not dare to ask, lest they make the young city lord unhappy.
Moreover, there are some things that are military secrets and must not be inquired about casually.
In accordance with Tang Zhen's request, Liu Hanyan issued a task in Loucheng's internal system and recruited practitioners to be responsible for digging out the original stones.
Lou Ling arranged it and finally uploaded the task.
Without waiting too long, a large number of Loucheng monks accepted the mission and collectively arrived in the volcanic area to search for the raw red jade stones.
If ordinary people come to dig, they must first break through the earth-rock mixed surface, dig and rummage through the hard strata, and carefully screen out raw red jade stones of different sizes.
The excavation process is time-consuming, requires heavy physical labor, and may even be life-threatening.
But if you switch to practitioners, the situation will become completely different. In their eyes, the hard and heavy mud crust on the earth's surface is no different from that of Zhihu Lake.
Various spells learned in Lou Cheng were given opportunities to be used here, and it even became a special training ground.
Fossil Technique, Earth Movement Technique, Quicksand Technique, Separation Technique...
Various earth spells were continuously cast by the Loucheng monks, causing the ground to become riddled with holes.
The practitioners who are responsible for teaching walk around and observe here, and will give pointers from time to time.
These are public exercises, not some secret secrets that are not revealed to others. The Loucheng monks can learn them by spending points.
Communicating and discussing with each other makes it easier to make progress.
When Loucheng monks perform well, they will have the opportunity to be promoted and hold certain positions.
For example, the instructors here are all outstanding performers in a certain field. They rely on their own abilities and there are no restrictions on age, background, etc.
There are no young or old people in learning, and those who achieve first come first. Lou Cheng has demonstrated this aspect most vividly.
The Loucheng monks who accept the mission will not only use this opportunity to practice various spells, but the red jade rough stones collected can also be exchanged for points.
The more you get, the more generous the rewards you get.
With this reward, the motivation of the monks in Loucheng has been greatly increased. They can be said to have dug hundreds of feet of ground and dug out all the red jade they could feel.
This is also part of the practice. If more than the standard amount of red jade is left in the area that someone is responsible for, it will be judged as unqualified.
Unsatisfactory conditions will affect the acquisition of points and will also cause the overall score of the task to be reduced.
No one is willing to bear this kind of result, and they all work very hard just to get a better ranking.
The excavated red jade rough stones were collected and sent to Loucheng, where they were piled in a huge open space.
At first, the residents of Loucheng didn't care, thinking that these ugly stones were just building materials.
But it didn’t take long before many stalls were set up around the place, with cracked red jade rough stones also placed.
There are also some stalls with finished jade products that have been carved and engraved with different styles of runes.
The novel shape and runes are eye-catching, and people can't help but stop and observe.
At this time, some residents of Loucheng loudly promoted the introduction to the audience, and their words were full of the advantages of red jade.
It is as warm and moist as jade and contains fire aura. It can be turned into a magic weapon if it is engraved with runes.
Practitioners with the fire attribute can obtain significant improvements in their practice by carrying such a red gem.
It's like being in a furnace and feeling the burning flames.
The higher the quality of red jade, the more obvious the effect, and it can even be used to make embryos for magic weapons.
When the salesperson said this, he showed a mysterious expression on his face and whispered to the customers: "It is said that our city lord also likes this kind of fire jade, and has privately ordered his assistants.
If you come across the best red jade, you must buy it at any cost, no matter how many points you give, there will be no problem."
The salesperson's narration made the onlookers interested in meeting the customer. Originally they just had a wait-and-see attitude, but now they suddenly want to know more about it.
If the rumors are true and Tang Zhen likes this kind of red jade, they can also try to find it.
Some residents want points, others want to please Tang Zhen, and some Loucheng residents are simply attracted by the appearance and function of red jade.
Ask about the sales price. It's not particularly expensive and you can buy a bunch of them for not much money.
Soon some residents tried to pick out a bunch of rough stones, weighed them, and then cut them directly.
This special red jade rough stone has an ugly outer shell, and it also has the effect of blocking the detection of spiritual consciousness.
It is simply impossible to cheat and find the highest quality rough stones.
But that’s okay, everything depends on luck, and at least a certain degree of fairness can be guaranteed.
Under the control of the practitioners, these red jade rough stones were continuously cut open, revealing the inner contents of different colors.
The color may be high or low, and the texture of the meat may be thick or thin. It is not as uniform as imagined.
There are even some rough stones that are black and pale inside and have the texture of pure shit.
Rough stones like this are basically waste products.
The results obtained by the vast majority of customers are not particularly ideal, and the quality is basically mixed.
Only a few customers bought extremely high-quality red jade, which felt like flowing flames.
When the salesperson saw this, he immediately offered to buy it at a high price, which was a hundred times the price of the original stone.
Those customers were overjoyed, and just when they were about to sell, someone suddenly stepped in.
"I'll pay twice the price to sell me the red jade you have."
The cultivator who rushed to buy red jade carried a circular badge with two simple bird seal characters engraved on it.
Refining weapons.
After seeing this badge, everyone immediately knew the origin of the other party. He was clearly a member of the Loucheng Artifact Refining Association.
Monks who like weapon refining applied to form a weapon refining association and often communicated internally.
In a short period of time, the weapon-refining level of the monks in Loucheng has advanced rapidly, and the weapon-refining association is the biggest contributor.
The biggest characteristic of these monks is to turn decay into magic and use weapon refining methods to increase the value of items.
Seeing a member of the Weapon Refining Association jumping out to snatch the red jade, everyone was surprised and immediately realized that this item was worth a lot of money.
After being refined into a magic weapon, the price will probably increase thousands of times.
If you don't know how to refine weapons, you can definitely make a fortune from the materials. Once you get lucky, you will definitely earn a lot of points!
