Apart from Ling Yun, the other three were extremely familiar with Yu Ding Xuan. Yu Ding Xuan's staff came out to welcome them politely before they even entered the door.
"Oh, Master Murong, Guild Master Song, you're finally here. If you had taken any longer, my Boss and Boss Han would have had to bring eight large palanquins to invite you over. They're all waiting for you in the backyard."
Song Zhengyang smiled faintly. "Haha, looks like there are quite a lot of rare stones today. The Lord of Jade and Han Laosan are getting impatient!"
The Lord of Jade that Song Zhengyang mentioned was the boss of Yu Ding Xuan. He only loved jade, jewelry, and antique appreciation. This was also a hobby passed down from the ancestors of the Yu Family. That was why he was known as the "Lord of Jade".
As for Han Laosan, he was the owner of the House of Strange Stones. He was very close to the Lord of Jade. Han Laosan was in charge of collecting raw jade stones, while the Lord of Jade was in charge of selling them. Alternatively, he would wait for the jade stones to be cut out and sell them in his own shop.
In the antique market, their status was similar to Song Zhengyang's and Murong Wenshi's. They were the presidents or directors of the Antiques Association of Qingshui City.
Song Zhengyang didn't need the assistant to lead him. He strode to the backyard with his head held high. Song Zhengyang had already taken off the Buddha beads on his left wrist. He twirled them in his hand and walked with an extraordinary aura.
Yu Ding Xuan's shop was huge. It was more than two thousand square meters. This was only the area of the shop, not the backyard.
The four of them passed through the shop quickly and came to the backyard. Ling Yun realized that the backyard of Yu Ding Xuan was really a different world.
The area alone was shockingly large. It was six to seven thousand square meters, more than a hundred meters long, and sixty to seventy meters wide. It was like a large vegetable market inside, except that the piles and piles of strange-shaped stones were not filled with vegetables, but rather, strange-shaped stones from all over the world.
However, the stones in the backyard were not necessarily raw jadeite stones. There was also a special large open space where all kinds of strange stones were placed. Some looked like people, some looked like animals, and some looked like trees, and so on. These were specially prepared for the lovers of strange stones for ornamental purposes. They were not raw jadeite stones.
"Oh my god! We've really fallen into a nest of stones! "
As far as the eye could see, there was a dazzling array of stones piled up into a mountain. The backyard, which was six to seven thousand square meters, had simply become a sea of stones. People's line of sight was blocked by many huge stones, and they needed to turn around to see what was behind the huge stones.
Even with the range of Ling Yun's divine sense, he could only cover about one-tenth of the entire backyard. It was difficult for him to see the whole picture.
Song Zhengyang seemed to want to shock Ling Yun on purpose. He didn't make any introductions and let Ling Yun see for himself. His footsteps didn't stop as he walked through the path between the piles of stones toward the place where the stone gambling was held.
The spiritual energy was heterogeneous, but it was very thick. It was getting thicker and thicker. Ling Yun couldn't help but be shocked. Most of the spiritual energy absorbed by Mansion Number One came from Yu Ding Xuan! At least seventy percent!
Song Zhengyang's footsteps slowed down as he walked forward. Ling Yun used his divine sense to explore a large empty space. This must be the place of stone gambling today.
The area of the empty space was about six hundred square meters. There were many people standing there. They were definitely stone gambling fanatics.
Because this was an open space, the spiritual energy here was slightly less than some places where the stones were concentrated. However, the surrounding was filled with all kinds of stones, so the spiritual energy was still very rich. Ling Yun opened all his pores and absorbed as much as he could.
"There are actually so many trucks carrying stones …"
There were two gates about ten meters wide in the courtyard, which were used for trucks to enter and exit. The trucks were loaded with all kinds of stones. There were even two large cranes in the courtyard, which were busy. They were naturally used to load and unload the stones.
"Aiya, Elder Murong, President Song, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you!"
As soon as the four of them appeared, they were immediately greeted by dozens of people. One of them was tall and burly, fair and plump like Buddha. The other was thin and skinny with dark skin. He was as skinny as a monkey. It formed a strong contrast with the big fat man and looked very comical.
"Ling Yun, let me introduce you …" Song Zhengyang pointed at the tall and burly man.
"This is the big boss of Yu Ding Xuan, Yu Shengjin. His nickname is the Lord of Jade." Song Zhengyang pointed at the tall and burly man.
"This is the boss of the House of Strange Stones, Han Jingtong. He deals with stones all day. We call him Han Laosan."
Then, Song Zhengyang introduced Ling Yun to the Lord of Jade and Han Laosan with a smile.
The Lord of Jade and Han Laosan seemed to be used to seeing strange people around Song Zhengyang. They greeted Ling Yun politely without saying much. Then, the group walked in together.
"Where are the new stones?" Song Zhengyang asked as he walked.
"They're all over there. There are many good things. Old Song, do you want to pick a few to be the dealer?" Han Laosan pointed with a smile.
Song Zhengyang's eyes lit up as he looked in that direction. "Hmm, this batch of goods is indeed not bad. There are quite a lot of good stuff …" He nodded calmly.
Ling Yun wasn't here to buy jade, he was here to look for spirit stones. Therefore, he couldn't be bothered to look over there. Instead, he focused on exploring the density of spiritual energy around him. Wherever there was more spiritual energy, his eyes would wander over.
Ling Yun noticed a huge green stone.
This cyan boulder was located in the center of the courtyard. The placement of the boulder was very particular and coincided with Fengshui. It was said to be huge because it was indeed too big. It was eight meters tall and more than three meters wide. The higher it was, the thinner it became. It had an irregular cylindrical shape and its body was curved. There were a total of nine bends in the boulder, which rose into the sky. The shape was very strange, winding like a dragon.
The top of the stone was really in the shape of a dragon's head. It was very eye-catching and unforgettable.
"That's the treasure of Yu Ding Xuan. It's called Green Dragon Out at Sea. The Lord of Jade spent two hundred million to buy it!"
Murong Feixue couldn't help but introduce it to Ling Yun. Everyone who came to Yu Ding Xuan's backyard was attracted by the Green Dragon Out at Sea.
"The Lord of Jade is really generous …" Ling Yun stared unblinkingly at the Green Dragon Out at Sea. He felt an inexplicable attraction to it.
This Green Dragon Out at Sea giant rock didn't emit any spiritual energy. Ling Yun couldn't sense any spiritual energy fluctuations no matter if he used his divine sense or the Yin-Yang Eye. However, he was attracted by this rock and felt that it was extraordinary.
"Ling Yun, you don't know about stone gambling, so you don't have to look at it. Many people have studied this huge rock, including the top stone gambling experts in Beijing's Panjiayuan District. This is just an ordinary huge rock. It's just a good-looking shape. There's definitely no jade inside …"
Murong Feixue clearly understood Yu Ding Xuan very well. She wanted to talk more to Ling Yun, so she explained to him carefully.
"Sister Feixue, do you know where this stone came from?"
Ling Yun didn't care whether it was green or not. He wouldn't care if there was jade inside. Only treasures that couldn't be bought with money were real treasures.
"I know. This Green Dragon Out at Sea is very interesting. It's said that it was discovered on Penglai Island in the East Sea of the Qilu Kingdom. Someone spent a huge sum of money to transport it back from the island. Then, it was auctioned. After changing hands a few times, the price kept rising. Finally, the Lord of Jade bought it and placed it here for people to admire. Of course, he liked to look at it too. He felt that this Green Dragon Out at Sea could bring him good luck.
Penglai Island in the East Sea? Ling Yun's heart skipped a beat. This was because he had marked this place on the map when he was studying geography.
Many legends about immortals originated from Penglai Island in the East Sea. This was one of the things that Ling Yun was most concerned about.
"Big Brother Yun, what are you two doing? The stone gambling is about to start. Those two guys are here too … "Tang Meng had arrived at Yu Ding Xuan a long time ago.
Tang Meng had arrived at Yu Ding Xuan a long time ago. He couldn't help but rush them when he saw Ling Yun and Murong Feixue stopping there. He was afraid that Ling Yun would miss out on the stone gambling.
The two fellows that Tang Meng was referring to were naturally Zhu Yongwang and Hou Yaozong. These two idiots had been beaten swollen by Ling Yun in the Tianxi Pavilion and left with their hands covering their faces. Both of them were in the same boat and could only come to Yu Ding Xuan to enjoy the excitement of stone gambling.
"I'm looking at that rock, Green Dragon Out at Sea," Ling Yun said faintly as he lifted his chin towards the huge rock.
The more he looked at it, the more he found it extraordinary and mystical. This stone really looked like a spiraling green dragon. With his current cultivation level, he could even feel a faint pressure from it.
"You two go ahead first. I'll go take a look at that stone!"
Ling Yun left Tang Meng and Murong Feixue behind as he walked towards the huge rock.
Murong Feixue couldn't help but purse her lips and snort in her heart when she saw how casually Ling Yun left her behind.
You'll have to get used to it slowly. I wonder how angry you will be if you know how many goddesses Big Brother Yun has by his side!
I hope it's not an illusion …
If it really was something good, Ling Yun would definitely do everything in his power to get his hands on it without hesitation.
Ling Yun quickly came to the side of the stone and studied it carefully. Occasionally, he would look up at the lifelike dragon head.
"Strange, why don't I feel anything? Could it be an illusion? "
Ling Yun muttered to himself as he raised his hand to touch the stone.
The green boulder was very smooth. Obviously, when visitors to Yu Ding Xuan saw this boulder, they couldn't help but come over and touch it. That was why the boulder was so smooth.
There was still no reaction.
"I don't believe it!" Ling Yun muttered to himself. Then, he secretly took out the mysterious gourd when no one was looking.
He poured two drops of dragon saliva on his hand and wiped it on the green stone.
Then, a shocking scene occurred! (To be continued.)
