Sitting cross-legged on his bed, Feng Hao quickly fell asleep.
He'd been on tenterhooks these past few days, and he truly was exhausted. Now that he'd arrived in Nephrite Evil City, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief and lower his guard. He could finally sleep without worry.
Rustle! Rustle!
With a rustling sound, a dragon's head emerged from his sleeve. It was the descendant of the Void Dragon, the little black dragon.
It wrinkled its large nostrils, and then its eyes exploded with a strange light. It turned its head to glance at the sleeping Feng Hao, and a human-like look of surprise appeared in its bright eyes. Then it drew close and took a deep sniff of Feng Hao's scent, and only then did it heave a sigh of relief.
Swish!
With a soft sound, the little black dragon disappeared like a ghost, going off to some unknown place. It wasn't until dawn that it returned to Feng Hao's sleeve, as if nothing had happened.
Another six hours of cultivating the Violet Qi from the East. Only when the sun hung high in the sky did Feng Hao open his eyes.
Very quickly, he filtered through the most recent information and remembered the little Black Dragon.
With a flip of his hand, he took out the sleepy little Black Dragon that had been coiled around his arm.
This was the son of the Void Dragon!
"Daddy!"
A childish voice rang out in the depths of Feng Hao's mind, making him feel incredulous.
But when he remembered that the Void Dragon was proficient in the human language, he felt relieved.
However, he wasn't too impressed by the little black dragon's way of addressing him. "Daddy?"He'd actually become Father Dragon?
"Ahem, little fellow, can you change the way you address me?"
Feng Hao coughed dryly and spoke to the little black dragon in a negotiating tone.
"Does Daddy not want me anymore?"
There was a faint whimper, and the little black dragon's eyes became misty, looking very pitiful.
"Eh … no, I don't …"
Looking at those misty eyes, Feng Hao couldn't help but feel a headache.
For some reason, he felt a strange connection with the little black dragon because of that drop of blood, as if they were connected by blood. At this moment, Feng Hao's heart softened when he saw the little black dragon's pitiful appearance.
"Here, here!"
With a flip of his hand, Feng Hao took out several dragon eggshells and placed them in front of the little Black Dragon.
"Yiya?"
As if it had smelled the scent, the little ball popped out from his collar. Its large, bright eyes were locked onto the dragon eggshell in the little black dragon's claws, and a hint of desire appeared in its eyes.
"None of your business!"
Feng Hao impatiently pushed it back.
Swoosh!
With a flash, it appeared nearby, staring straight at the little black dragon. Its eyes were filled with threat, causing the little black dragon to stop chewing and look at it fearfully.
"Ignore it. With me here, it won't dare do anything to you!"
After comforting the little black dragon, Feng Hao glared viciously at Little Ball, warning it not to make trouble. The threat was very strong, and he had Little Ball subside.
After glancing at Little Ball and then at Feng Hao, the little black dragon seemed to understand something. However, it still did not dare to take the eggshell for itself. Of the four pieces in its hand, it gave two to Little Ball in a fawning manner, and then began to enjoy them together.
"This fellow, just what is it?"
Feng Hao was stunned by the sight of Little Ball happily gnawing on the dragon eggshell.
This little black dragon was a descendant of the Azure Dragon, but it was actually so afraid of this little beast of unknown origin. From this, one could imagine just how extraordinary its identity was.
"Could there be a vicious beast that surpasses the Five Great Vicious Beasts?"
Feng Hao couldn't help but wonder.
The Five Great Vicious Beasts represented the five extremes of heaven and earth. The power of the Qilin, the defense of the Black Tortoise, and the demonic power of the Azure Dragon were all invincible. Could it be that there was something above these extremes?
There were no records of this in the ancient books, so Feng Hao had no way of knowing, let alone guessing the true identity of Little Ball.
"It's time to go out for a walk!"
After standing up and washing up, Feng Hao walked out.
He blended into the wide street with people coming and going, and walked towards a small gambling den.
Inside, spiritual energy was surging, various colors flickered, and strange phenomena appeared frequently. Every piece of uncut stone looked very extraordinary, as though they were all of the best quality that could produce Odd crystals.
Just the outermost uncut stone was comparable to the high-grade uncut stones in Yuyue Gambling Den. This made Feng Hao sigh in his heart. They were indeed not on the same level.
The price was not out of Feng Hao's expectations. It was ridiculously expensive, usually more than one martial crystal. Even the dull uncut stones placed in the corner were priced at more than six digits.
Looking at the uncut stones that easily cost more than a thousand, Feng Hao's thoughts of being a tycoon disappeared.
Here, he could at most be considered a petty bourgeois.
"Phew! …"
After exhaling, Feng Hao did not choose the uncut stones that shone brightly, but walked towards the unremarkable uncut stones at the side.
A look of disappointment flashed across the middle-aged gambler's eyes when he saw his actions. However, he still smiled and followed him.
No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. He had to do business.
Under Little Ball's instructions, Feng Hao chose ten uncut stones that contained martial crystals and ten pieces of trash, then walked out.
"Swoosh swoosh!"
Zi Ling's eyes lit up. Under the gaze of Zi Ling's eyes, the two ores appeared in front of Feng Hao's eyes. Faintly, he could see the existence of a sparkling light within the ores that contained the Martial Crystal. As for the waste, although there was also a sparkling light within it, it was not as concentrated as the previous one. It was clearly very scattered.
After carefully observing the twenty uncut stones, Feng Hao realized that if he only looked at the degree of concentration of the sparkling light, the probability was only fifty to sixty percent.
The important point should be the traces of the sparkling light. If it was an uncut stone that contained martial crystals, the traces of the sparkling light would generally have its own pattern. However, if it was a trash, the flow of the sparkling light would not have a fixed pattern, but would appear messy.
This discovery made Feng Hao happy. In the future, even if he did not rely on Little Ball, the probability of him choosing a martial crystal would be at least eighty percent!
After that, Feng Hao chose a few more uncut stones that contained spirit iron and martial crystals, and compared them with the uncut stones that contained martial crystals, he found a different pattern.
For several days in a row, Feng Hao wandered around various small gambling dens. After days of observation, coupled with the experience imparted by Elder Fen, Feng Hao made rapid progress. Now, his probability of choosing five martial crystals from ordinary uncut stones was as high as ninety percent!
"You know the Eye of Fortune Telling Technique?"
Asked the gambling official beside Feng Hao respectfully while he was choosing the uncut stones with Purple Eye.
"Yes."
Feng Hao nodded without denying it.
"Uh … it's the annual Fortune Telling Stone Competition in Nephrite Ancient City. Aren't you going to participate?"
The gambling official asked doubtfully.
