Compared to the mountain rock with the small black humanoid, these two stones were both transparent. Judging by their quality, they were also made of the same material! The only difference was that one of them was big, and the other was small. One of them was an herb, and the other was a small black humanoid.
'That small black humanoid came from here! I was wondering why the materials for the Welcoming of Deities were so hard to find outside. Besides the spider's ninth leg, which I obtained by accident in Han Mountain City, that small black humanoid would only appear here!
'If that's the case, then that python's tail scale must also be from this place. Perhaps I can gather all the materials for the Welcoming of Deities in the World of Nine Yin!'
Su Ming looked at the transparent stone in his hand, then at the seven-leafed herb inside. The herb was incredibly similar to the one he saw in Nine Shaman Pavilion during the day. The only difference was that his herb had seven leaves, while the one belonging to the man in white only had three leaves.
Even if they were compared to the living leaves, the one belonging to the man in white was clearly incredibly withered, while the one in Su Ming's hand was brimming with life. As Su Ming observed it, he narrowed his eyes, because he saw that there were clear bite marks on the other six leaves.
Those marks looked as if they had been bitten by a poisonous snake …
As he looked at the leaf brimming with life, a picture appeared in Su Ming's head. In that picture, once this so-called Dragon Leaf Herb was sealed in the Crimson Stone, the leaf bit another leaf beside it to survive through the endless passage of time. Once it absorbed that leaf, and when a large amount of time passed by once again, it bit another leaf, and when all the leaves were bitten, it persevered.
"If that's the case, then it's understandable … but perhaps that's not the case," Su Ming mumbled. Su Ming mumbled. The herb might be in the transparent stone, but Su Ming could still sense a presence that was similar to that of a ferocious beast coming from it.
But this was clearly an herb!
It was precisely the brutal presence of this ferocious beast that made Su Ming think that perhaps the instant the herb was sealed, the leaf had swiftly killed the other leaves and absorbed their essence. It had also ensured that no other leaves would share the nutrients from its roots. If that was the case, then its chances of survival would be much higher.
Su Ming looked at the herb in his hands. He could not determine its value, neither did he know the effects of the herb. He only knew that the man in white had once used this herb to test the authenticity of Scattering Dusts.
Judging by the cautious look on the man in white's face, this thing must be very valuable. If that was the truth, then Su Ming believed that the one in his hands was even rarer.
After remaining silent for a moment, Su Ming put away the transparent stone into his storage bag and sat down in the empty room. A pensive light shone in his eyes.
"I wasn't originally interested in the Treasure Gambling Meet, but … it seems like I must participate in this Treasure Gambling Meet. Moreover, not only must I participate, I must use the special ability of the black dwarf to obtain the greatest harvest!
'As for attracting attention and bringing trouble to myself, I have that battle spirit protecting me now, and I also have the chance for the Spirit of Nine Yin, which is equivalent to an End Shaman, to attack. Since I'm in the Land of Nine Yin, I might as well … make a big show of myself!' A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He was a cautious person, but there was also resolution within that caution.
As long as he thought it was beneficial to him, he would not hesitate to act! If the stone gambling event only relied on luck, Su Ming would not participate. He did not want to waste time on something that he had no confidence in.
However, the situation was completely different now. Once he learned of the mysteries surrounding the small black dwarf, Su Ming's heart began pounding in excitement. Forget about the value of these herbs, there were also other items in the Crimson Stone. All of this was equivalent to a serendipity, and Su Ming would definitely not give up on it.
'Looks like I'll have to make a new decision about Wu Duo. I was hesitant because I didn't want to participate previously, but now … it's fine even if I participate once!' A freezing glare shone in Su Ming's eyes. He closed his eyes and immersed himself in meditation. Since he was bound to participate in the treasure gambling meet this time, since he was bound to be the center of attention due to this treasure gambling meet, since he was bound to stir up a bloody storm …
Then now, there was still half a month left. Once Su Ming understood the storm that would be stirred up by this serendipity, he chose to isolate himself. He chose to use this half a month to ensure that everything within him was at its peak so that he could … amaze the world with a single brilliant feat!
As the treasure gambling meet slowly approached, there were quite a number of Shamans who rushed to Shaman City from all directions every single day. These people were either very lucky and were Relocated to a place not too far away from Shaman City, or they had extraordinary power, because that was the only way they could arrive at Shaman City from the one million lis around the city.
As of then, Shaman City was incredibly lively. A large amount of transactions were carried out every single day, and even when it was night time, the number of people still did not decrease.
However, there were still not many people who went to the Spirits of Nine Yin. After all, the price of renting the Spirits of Nine Yin was simply too high … Besides the middle-sized tribes and above, most of the other people sighed in envy.
Half a month gradually passed by in this bustle. Lan Lan and Ahu wandered around Shaman City for a few days before they stopped going out. After all, the current situation in Shaman City was a little complicated. There were a lot of people, and with their bodies that could not even be considered as Fledgling Shamans and their status as people from small tribes, they were practically like ants to them.
If it were not for Su Ming's protection, the two of them might not even be able to see the walls of Shaman City, much less survive in Shaman City. They would have died on their way there.
The last night before the treasure gambling meet was the quietest night in Shaman City over the past few days. Almost all the shops had closed their doors early in the morning and were no longer doing business. Most of the Shamans were also meditating quietly in their own lodgings, maintaining their best condition so that they could join the Shaman Tribe's treasure gambling meet in the World of Nine Yin that would be held once the sun rose.
This would be a grand gathering, a competition of wealth, a clash of luck, and a bloody trial!
There was a tower located to the northeast of Shaman City. This was not an inn, neither was it a shop. Instead, it was Autumn Sea Tribe's permanent residence in this place.
At that moment, there was a woman standing under the moonlight in the room at the top of the tower. That woman's hair danced in the air and she wore a pink robe. When the moonlight fell on her face, it revealed a face that could make people's hearts pound. That face was so beautiful that there was not a single flaw … besides a frown and a hint of gloom in her eyes.
The wind was not strong, but it lifted the woman's black hair. She had been standing there for a long time, and when the wind gradually became stronger, she lifted her right hand and twirled her hair, which had been blown away by the wind. When she lifted her arm, the mark of a crimson dragon could be seen on her snow white arm under the moonlight!
Wan Qiu, the Sacred Lady of Autumn Sea Tribe …
In another direction of Shaman City was a very luxurious shop. There was a woman in white sitting there, and there were several people standing respectfully before her. All of them looked incredibly nervous, and they were whispering something to the woman in low voices.
However, even though the woman was listening to them, the fatigue and bewilderment that would occasionally appear in her eyes gave people the misconception that she had lost her soul.
Perhaps the woman's beauty could not compare to Wan Qiu's, but there was an otherworldly presence about her. Her profound eyes and the blue spirit that spread out from her body allowed all those who saw her to be able to tell that she was not a Shaman!
She came from the land of Immortals. She was a Celestial Maiden.
In another part of Shaman City was a tower that was not too far away from where Su Ming was. There was a middle-aged man sitting cross-legged there. That man was thin, and there was an awe-inspiring look on his face. There were two women sitting before him.
The two women's faces were practically the same, but one of them was gentle, and the other aloof. Their clothes were also different. The two of them sat there with their eyes closed, and they were also exercising their breathing.
After a long while, the middle-aged man opened his eyes. There was a profound look in his eyes as he spoke in a hoarse voice, "Meng Er, You Er, I'll be bringing the two of you with me this time. As for which one of you will be able to inherit my legacy, that will depend on your serendipity this time."
If Su Ming was here and heard the man's voice, he would definitely find it familiar. If he thought about it carefully, then there was a high possibility that he would remember that this voice belonged to only one person, and that was Sky Mist's ancestor!
One of the two women was Tian Lan Meng, and the other was Tian Lan You! When Sky Mist's ancestor spoke, the two women opened their eyes at the same time.
There was a resolute look on Tian Lan You's face, and Tian Lan Meng lowered her head and sighed softly in her heart.
"Once the treasure gambling event ends, your training will begin!" Sky Mist's ancestor swept his gaze past Tian Lan Meng and a light crease appeared between his brows, but he did not say anything.
Time trickled by slowly. The nine moons in the sky faded away as dawn gradually arrived, causing the world to be enveloped in darkness …
If anyone looked at Shaman City from the distance in this darkness, they would find that the city had turned into a large shadow, and it looked like a ferocious beast hiding in the darkness.
At that moment, there was a person dressed in black standing on a mountain near Shaman City. He was looking at Shaman City, and a glint appeared in his eyes.
"Master's projected clone might have disappeared for some reason during his battle against Hong Luo and I can't contact him for a short period of time … but I'm still here, and Hong Luo must have already disappeared. Then … there's no need to be afraid of Destiny!
"Destiny, do you really think you can escape from my sight..? Before Master's second projected clone descends, I will set things right and use this chance to make a great contribution …"
An aloof voice tumbled out of the person's mouth. This person was Di Tian's servant, the Immortal who only existed for Su Ming in the land of Berserkers.
"The only thing I have to pay attention to is the End Shaman in this place … and the terrifying legend in the World of Nine Saints …" the person mumbled to himself and walked towards Shaman City.
Light slowly appeared in the dawn sky. It was as if an invisible hand had lifted the black curtain covering the land, causing the land to gradually become brighter …
A new day arrived. The treasure gambling event … had arrived! (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
