Chapter 84: Chaos Stone
In the canyon between the two mountain peaks, among a large area of continuous pavilions and halls.
Wang Yu drove the mechanical bird and landed in front of a golden, magnificent pavilion, walking in with big strides.
In the hall on the first floor of the pavilion, there were only a few long counters, and behind them were rows of tall cargo cabinets.
And behind each counter, there stood a dull-headed mechanical puppet, serving several Four Symbols Gate disciples.
Wang Yu didn't look at the others much and walked directly to a counter.
The puppet that was originally standing still behind the counter actually took a step forward, and a lazy man's voice came from its body:
"If you want to sell things, take them out directly, and I will give you a quote. If you want to buy things, report the name."
The puppet's body was emerald green, its hands and feet were round and bulging, but its head was square, and even the five senses of its mouth laughing were drawn randomly with a brush.
"I came to buy things, but I don't know the name of the thing I want to buy?" Wang Yu looked at the puppet, feeling strange, but still said truthfully.
"If you don't know the name, then describe it." The man's voice inside the puppet's body was still lazy.
"I want to find a type of stone that fell from the sky, the kind that is relatively hard and relatively smooth, and might contain some metal minerals..." Wang Yu said while gesturing with his hands to describe the form of some common Blue Star meteorites.
"You are talking about Chaos Stone. This kind of stone often contains some rare materials, but because the surface layer can completely isolate divine sense and magic power, it is usually only seen in some markets or stone gambling fields. Our Spirit Object Pavilion doesn't collect many, only seven or eight pieces, each piece is one hundred spirit stones." Before Wang Yu finished speaking, the puppet spoke out a large pile of words, and the originally lazy voice actually became faster.
"Gambling on stones! One hundred spirit stones? So expensive?" Wang Yu was startled and felt a bit dizzy.
There is also the saying of gambling on stones on Blue Star, but that is just gambling on some jade raw stones, where has he heard of gambling on meteorites.
"These Chaos Stones were all bought by an elder of our sect who is good at gambling on stones from outside markets. The probability of producing spiritual materials is very high, and the price is also set by this elder himself, so no bargaining is allowed. But this elder said, if you are willing to let him open the stone on the spot, he can sell it at an 80% discount." The voice inside the puppet's body became even more enthusiastic, urging Wang Yu.
"80% discount, that's eighty spirit stones. Good, I can agree, but I need to look over these Chaos Stones once first." Wang Yu was stunned, but after a thought, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
No matter what, he had to get a Star Stone to see if that Star Thought Power could be cultivated.
"Good, good, this is only natural. How can one not personally oversee the selection when gambling on stones? You should hurry and follow the humanoid puppet. I will wait for you in the lobby on the second floor." The voice inside the puppet seemed to grow happy, and it urged Wang Yu impatiently.
Seeing this, Wang Yu felt somewhat uneasy, but under the puppet's repeated urging, he could only follow it to the second floor of the pavilion with a scalp-numbing feeling.
This action of his made several outer sect disciples who were handling things at other counters somewhat dumbfounded.
On the second floor of the pavilion, in a giant hall that was half the size of a stadium.
As soon as Wang Yu entered, he was stunned.
The hall was decorated magnificently, and even the walls were shining with gold, but there was not a single piece of furniture, and instead, mechanical puppets of various forms were scattered all over the ground, some without heads, some without hands and feet, and some with their bodies split in half, all dismantled and separated, as many as seventeen or eighteen.
Some mechanical parts with unknown uses were piled up in the corners of the hall.
In an empty space in the middle of the hall, there stood a white, fat person dressed as a clerk. As soon as he saw Wang Yu coming, he immediately greeted him with great joy:
"Little guy, are you the one who wants to gamble on Chaos Stones? Hurry up and choose, the old man hasn't opened stones for a long time and has been itching for it."
"Senior is..." Wang Yu was somewhat hesitant.
"Are you a newly entered disciple? You don't even know the old man. The old man is the guest elder Shan Jin Can. I happen to be on duty at the Spirit Object Pavilion this time. You can just call the old man Elder Jin." The fat man seemed to see Wang Yu's cultivation level at a glance, but didn't care and asked repeatedly.
"So it's Elder Jin, this junior is Wang Yu, from the Yin family." Wang Yu bowed respectfully when he heard this.
"Yin family? Never heard of it, it should be a small family. Forget it, it doesn't matter which family it is, let's pick the Chaos Stones first." Jin Can thought for a moment, shook his head, but then said indifferently.
Then he signaled Wang Yu to step back a few steps.
Wang Yu followed his instructions and stepped back, then saw Jin Can shake his sleeve in front of him.
"Boom," "Boom"...
After seven or eight loud sounds, seven giant stone balls, with a minimum diameter of one meter and a maximum diameter of a zhang, appeared in the center of the hall.
The entire hall shook violently.
"Hehe, don't be afraid, the old man has found a formation master to reinforce this hall, no matter how big the movement is, it won't disturb people outside. You can choose now," Jin Can comforted Wang Yu.
"Elder Jin, are all Chaos Stones this big?" Wang Yu looked at the seven giant objects in front of him and was somewhat speechless.
"What's big about this? The old man once saw a Chaos Stone that was thirty or forty zhang in size. These don't count for anything," Jin Can replied indifferently.
Wang Yu was secretly shocked when he heard this. At this time, he could only lean forward and check these Chaos Stones one by one.
These Chaos Stones were three brownish-red, three yellow-green, and one gray.
"According to the rules of stone gambling, as long as you don't damage the skin of the Chaos Stone, any spell, secret technique, or even artifact can be used. This is also the fun of stone gambling.
Back then when Jin was traveling in Feng Country, I once saw a Golden Core ancestor use a unique secret technique to gamble on ten giant Chaos Stones in a row, and as a result, three of them produced spiritual materials from the "Chaos Ten Thousand Treasures Record," which shocked the entire Feng Country at the time and made that Golden Core ancestor's family wealth double several times.
The old man's greatest wish in his life is to hope that he can also open a piece of heaven-defying treasure from the "Chaos Ten Thousand Treasures Record." Jin Can became more and more radiant as he spoke, wishing that Wang Yu would buy all seven Chaos Stones so he could open them all in one breath.
Wang Yu heard this but could only pretend he hadn't heard it.
He had seen many related reports about the harm of stone gambling on Blue Star; he didn't know how many people had gone bankrupt because of it. This Elder Jin was so obsessed, it was likely he wasn't far from it.
And he had just tried to inject magic power and divine sense separately, and these Chaos Stones were indeed as the other party said, unable to penetrate the skin at all.
Even his Gold-Touching Art ability failed one after another the moment it touched the Chaos Stone.
However, he was choosing Chaos Stones not to find any spiritual materials, but for the Star Stone.
Thinking of this, Wang Yu pressed a palm on the largest Chaos Stone and, according to a section of incantations in the "Star Thought Technique," began to mobilize his mental power, vibrating rapidly at a certain frequency, his eyes staring at the round stone gradually brightening. ===== CHAPTER 85 =====
Thinking of this, Wang Yu pressed one palm onto the largest chaos stone and, following a section of the incantation from the "Star Mind Technique," began to mobilize his spiritual power, causing it to vibrate rapidly at a certain frequency. His eyes, fixed on the round stone, gradually began to glow.
