Chapter 1 The Jade Appraisal Convention

With the arrival of a prodigy from the God Clan, countless gazes were instantly drawn.

This jade appraisal convention could be described as a gathering of heavenly talents. It wasn't that these God Clan cultivators were necessarily jade appraisal masters, but rather that each of these God Clan prodigies was incredibly wealthy.

The immortal stones they purchased were likely to be top-grade, and as the saying goes, "you get what you pay for," naturally, some rare treasures would appear.

The appearance of the God Clan prodigy caused a stir.

Lu Changsheng and the others also turned their gazes over.

At the entrance of the jade appraisal convention, seven or eight God Clan prodigies walked side by side, including Taigu Tianpeng, Tai'a Yueyao, and even Douyuan Lingfeng.

"Lord Changsheng, long time no see."

At this moment, Douyuan Lingfeng's voice rang out. He looked at Lu Changsheng immediately, his expression full of confidence and arrogance.

"It has indeed been a long time."

For some reason, after seeing Douyuan Lingfeng's appearance, Lu Changsheng couldn't help but feel that something good was about to happen at today's jade appraisal convention.

The onlookers dared not speak rashly; they were afraid to say anything out of line, whether it was about Lu Changsheng or Douyuan Lingfeng.

But just then, Feng Shaoyu's voice appeared.

"Yueyao, you're here too?"

Feng Shaoyu's voice rang out as he stared at Yueyao, his expression seemingly unfriendly.

"Oh, I didn't expect Feng Shaoyu to be here as well. What bad luck."

Tai'a Yueyao's voice rang out, slightly mocking.

"Heh! Since you're here, let's compete in the art of jade appraisal today!"

Feng Shaoyu said, seemingly holding a great resentment towards this Yueyao.

But Yueyao snorted coldly and said, "I'm just afraid you can't afford to lose!"

The two seemed to have had conflicts long ago, so they couldn't help but appear somewhat hostile upon meeting.

"Alright, let's not waste our energy in this kind of place. The real immortal stones are in the holy land's stone workshop. What's the point of wasting time here?"

A God Clan prodigy spoke, believing that they were wasting time here, and urged everyone to go inside.

"Good!"

The God Clan prodigies nodded one after another, then left this place and walked inside.

Lu Changsheng and the others looked at each other, wondering whether or not to follow.

"No rush, let's familiarize ourselves with the outside first."

Lu Changsheng didn't bother arguing with them. Instead, he planned to continue to take a good look outside the stone workshop.

The others nodded, not saying anything, and continued to appraise jade on the outskirts of the stone workshop.

"Who is that Yueyao? You seem to have a feud with him?"

Tianjizi asked Feng Shaoyu curiously, unable to resist asking.

Feng Shaoyu appeared very casual and said, "He is also a jade appraiser. A year ago, I and he simultaneously took a fancy to an ancient stone. In the end, he snatched the ancient stone and cut out a treasure, so we became enemies."

Feng Shaoyu said.

"Then this person's character is not good, but this is fate. There's no way around it. What's yours is yours, and what's not yours is not yours."

Tianjizi comforted him.

But Feng Shaoyu shook his head and said, "The treasure he cut out was not a very valuable treasure, and he even lost a lot."

Feng Shaoyu said this.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

They both took a fancy to an ancient stone, he bought it, and still lost a lot. What are you angry about?

Feeling everyone's gaze, Feng Shaoyu didn't care and said, "He snatched my ancient stone, although he lost money, it doesn't prevent me from disliking him."

Feng Shaoyu said very seriously.

Everyone immediately understood. It seems that this is another narrow-minded person. Understood.

"Fellow Daoists, let's go inside. Although there are many treasures hidden outside, they are indeed not comparable to the treasures in those large stone workshops. Don't let this group of God Clan people get the advantage. Let's go, let's go!"

Feng Shaoyu pulled everyone inside.

And so, the others didn't say anything and moved forward.

Along the way, everyone more or less participated. Even Ye Rujin bought an ancient stone and was lucky enough to make some money.

Seeing that everyone had earned a lot of immortal stones, Tianjizi couldn't hold back any longer. In the end, he pulled Feng Shaoyu and said.

"Feng Shaoyu, I won't lie to you. I only have 500,000 low-grade immortal stones. You help me pick an ancient stone, and we'll split the profits 50-50, how about that?"

Tianjizi really couldn't resist this temptation.

Along the way, Jinwu Prince, Ye Rujin, Li Shanshi, and others had earned a lot. The one who earned the most was Jinwu Prince. It was impossible for Tianjizi not to be tempted.

But these ancient stones cost millions or tens of millions at every turn. He did have a lot of immortal stones, but those were all his life savings, and he was reluctant to spend them at all. If he hadn't been unable to restrain himself, he wouldn't even have wanted to spend 500,000 low-grade immortal stones.

"500,000?" Feng Shaoyu frowned. To be honest, he didn't want to pay attention to him at all, but he hadn't had a chance to show off. Thinking of this, Feng Shaoyu didn't waste any time. He directly accepted Tianjizi's 500,000 low-grade immortal stone notes, and then carefully observed the surrounding stalls.

"Everyone, there is a lot of attention to jade appraisal. First, look, second, touch, third, choose. This look is to look at the lines on the top. You see these ancient stones, it is obvious that there is nothing good. This touch is very profound. It is difficult to get started without practicing for thousands or tens of thousands of years."

"Shopkeeper, this one! Bought it!"

Feng Shaoyu explained jade appraisal to everyone, but as he was talking, he quickly took a fancy to an oval ancient stone.

The price was 500,000 low-grade immortal stones.

Feng Shaoyu didn't waste any time and asked the stall owner to cut it on the spot.

"Is this okay? Don't you want to look at it more?"

Tianjizi asked, feeling a little uneasy.

But Feng Shaoyu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, just wait to collect the immortal stones. Remember, 50-50 split."

Feng Shaoyu said confidently.

Tianjizi was extremely excited, his eyes shining.

Lu Changsheng, Jinwu Prince, Taishang Xuanji, Ye Rujin, and others were also closely watching.

They really wanted to see if Feng Shaoyu could cut out something good.

The ancient stone was quickly cut open.

Crack.

The first cut, there was nothing.

Crack!

The second cut, there was still nothing.

Crack!

The third cut, the ancient stone was completely cut open, there was nothing at all.

In an instant, Tianjizi was stunned, and Feng Shaoyu was slightly stunned, but soon he nodded and said.

"Sure enough, jade appraisal still depends on luck. Even someone as powerful as me can sometimes misjudge."

He muttered to himself, then patted Tianjizi on the shoulder and said, "Don't be too sad, just treat this as a test. Don't worry, the next one will definitely hit!"

Feng Shaoyu said confidently.

"I'm going to kill you!"

Tianjizi came back to his senses, then roared and pounced on Feng Shaoyu.

500,000 low-grade immortal stones! To him, it was more painful than cutting off a piece of his flesh.

But just then, a phoenix cry rang out, and the entire ancient city was alarmed.

In the southeast direction, about fifty miles away, above the sky, a fiery red phoenix phantom rose into the sky. Although it was a phantom, it was lifelike, just like a real phoenix, looking up and chirping, surrounded by various visions and auspicious signs.

"Something good is coming out!"

"Something good has been cut out, hurry over and take a look."

"This is the holy land's stone workshop, everyone, go and take a look."

"I didn't expect someone to cut out a divine object just as the jade appraisal convention started. Hurry and take a look."

"Is this cutting out a living phoenix?"

"Hiss! Come and see, the people of the God Clan have cut out a phoenix egg."

Voices rang out one after another. In an instant, the jade appraisal convention boiled over. Countless cultivators rushed towards the stone workshop not far away like crazy, each one more anxious than the other, running extremely fast.

"Phoenix egg! This is a divine beast egg! Is the God Clan's luck really that good?"

Feng Shaoyu also revealed a look of surprise, and then rushed towards the southeast direction.

"Bastard, don't run!"

Tianjizi chased after him directly. He didn't care about any phoenix eggs or anything. He was going to find Feng Shaoyu to claim 500,000 low-grade immortal stones.

"Let's go! Let's go and see!"

Lu Changsheng was also a little curious. He walked towards the southeast direction. Ye Rujin, Taishang Xuanji, and Jinwu Prince also followed.

And so, the crowd rioted, and everyone rushed towards the stone workshop. Even some stall owners didn't even set up their stalls, directly took away the ancient stones, and went to the stone workshop.

In an instant, the surroundings became extremely deserted, with only one figure, appearing somewhat lonely and arrogant.

"Is there anyone here? Brother Mu Zhi, fellow Daoists, where are you? Are you appraising jade? Do you want me to help you?"

"Where are the people?"

"Say something."

"Brother Mu Zhi!"

Beidou Jiantian's voice rang out, his whole person somewhat at a loss.

Qingyue Ancient Workshop.

This is a holy land ancient workshop. The ancient workshop has carved beams and painted buildings, appearing incomparably luxurious. At the entrance, there are two white jade lions, highlighting the nobility of Qingyue Ancient Workshop.

Moreover, Qingyue Ancient Workshop is not a place that anyone can enter casually. You must have a certain status and spending power. In other words, only big figures can enter. Buying or not is up to you, but if you can't afford it, don't come and see.

At this moment, outside Qingyue Ancient Workshop, there were already crowds of people, and above the ancient workshop, a red phoenix rose into the sky, blooming with rays of light, looking very extraordinary.

"A phoenix egg has been cut out!"

"Phoenix egg? I think it's a real phoenix that has been cut out."

"Who can go in and see what exactly has been cut out."

"Tsk tsk, even if it's not cutting out a real phoenix, just this kind of vision is also an unparalleled divine object."

"I don't know who cut out this treasure, I'm really envious."

Outside the stone workshop, countless cultivators were talking about it, their eyes full of envy.

At this moment, Lu Changsheng and the others appeared. Although there were already crowds of people here, with the appearance of Lu Changsheng and the others, many cultivators still forcibly made way for Lu Changsheng.

"Emperor Lu is here, Emperor Lu is here, get out of the way, get out of the way."

Someone saw Lu Changsheng's personal arrival and couldn't help but yell loudly, asking everyone to consciously make way.

"Greetings, Emperor Lu!"

"We have seen Emperor Lu!"

When the cultivators saw Lu Changsheng coming, they spoke one after another, appearing incomparably respectful.

"Welcome, Heavenly Emperor, I am Zhou Zheng, the owner of Qingyue Stone Workshop."

The owner of Qingyue Stone Workshop also hurriedly came out at the first time, respectfully leading Lu Changsheng inside.

This is the benefit of fame and strength.

Under the envious gazes of everyone, Lu Changsheng came to Qingyue Stone Workshop.

"What was cut out, how did it cause such a big commotion?"

Feng Shaoyu said quickly. He was a little disheveled, it was caused by Tianjizi.

"The God Clan's, Tai'a Yueyao, cut out a phoenix egg, which caused the vision."

Zhou Zheng explained, informing everyone.

"This dog thing, actually cut out a phoenix egg?"

Feng Shaoyu was shocked, and then his eyes were full of jealousy.

"Uh..." Zhou Zheng didn't know how to answer. Feng Shaoyu could scold Tai'a Yueyao as a dog thing, but he couldn't answer. He could only grit his teeth and say, "It's mainly because Supreme Tai'a Yueyao dared to bet heavily. That phoenix ancient stone is valuable, so it's not surprising to cut out a phoenix egg."

Zhou Zheng said.

The crowd walked in a corridor. The real stone workshop was still inside, so they listened carefully to Zhou Zheng's explanation.

"Oh? Phoenix ancient stone? Are you talking about that ancient stone?" Feng Shaoyu asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Zhou Zheng nodded.

"That's really willing to spend. I remember that the phoenix ancient stone requires three complete Immortal King life-sustaining medicines before you sell it, right?"

Feng Shaoyu said this.

"Yes, three Immortal King life-sustaining medicines."

Zhou Zheng replied.

Some ancient stones, to a certain extent, are no longer exchanged for immortal stones, but for bartering.

"A phoenix egg, a big profit! Damn it, why isn't it me!"

Feng Shaoyu clenched his fists, his tears were about to fall from sourness.

"With your skills, don't embarrass yourself."

Tianjizi said unceremoniously. He had lost 500,000 low-grade immortal stones just now, and his heart was like a knife. Although Feng Shaoyu promised to bear half of it, Tianjizi was still upset, so he couldn't help but ridicule him when he found the opportunity.

"I said, you're too stingy, right? Isn't it just 500,000 low-grade immortal stones? Do you need to be like this? And you don't even think about it yourself, with 500,000 low-grade immortal stones, what kind of treasure do you expect to cut out?"

Feng Shaoyu said with some helplessness.

However, Zhou Zheng spoke.

"Actually, although a phoenix egg was cut out, it... has been petrified."

The voice rang out.

The crowd couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

Petrified?

"You said that the phoenix egg that Tai'a Yueyao cut out has been petrified?"

Feng Shaoyu said very excitedly.

"Yes, it has been petrified. Otherwise, if it was really a phoenix egg, its value would be more precious than ten Immortal Emperor medicines."

Zhou Zheng said this.

"How much is the value of the petrified phoenix egg?"

Tianjizi couldn't help but ask.

"One Immortal King life-sustaining medicine, I guess."

Zhou Zheng pondered for a while, then made this answer.

In an instant, Feng Shaoyu's laughter rang out.

"One Immortal King life-sustaining medicine, hahahaha, you deserve it, you deserve it!"

Feng Shaoyu laughed. It seems that he really has a great feud with Tai'a Yueyao, otherwise he wouldn't be so excited.

And at this moment.

Finally, the crowd came to the real stone workshop.

In a plain.

Thirty to forty extremely special ancient stones stood in the plain. Each ancient stone was suppressed by a formation, and even some ancient runes were pasted on it, appearing extremely extraordinary.

And the God Clan prodigies were also standing not far away.

With the appearance of Lu Changsheng and the others, pairs of eyes were cast over.
