Ancient Sky Star City.
There were less than four hours until the True Dragon Tournament.
Outside the Drunken Immortal Market, Big Dipper Sword Heaven was extremely uncomfortable.
About three years ago, as the number one sword prodigy of the Shen race, Big Dipper Sword Heaven had looked down on everyone. However, as a qualified prodigy, Big Dipper Sword Heaven felt that he was still not enough.
After all, the Shen Clan had a clan of divine kings. The seven great divine kings represented the seven supreme clans of the Shen Clan. Hence, the Big Dipper Sword Heaven began to train. Just a year ago, he defeated all the heroes with his sword. His momentum was like a hot knife through butter. No one could take three moves from him.
Later on, no cultivator in the same realm could take more than two moves from him. However, he was still unsatisfied. He hoped to cultivate a supreme sword technique that could defeat his enemies in one move.
Under such circumstances, Big Dipper Sword Heaven's father had imparted him a truly exceptional sword technique. However, this sword technique required him to seal his divine sense. He wouldn't be able to see or hear anything. He would only be able to hear a tiny bit of sound unless he used a special method.
At first, Big Dipper Sword Heaven was excited. He even felt that this method could truly train him.
However, the nightmare soon began.
He couldn't see or hear anything. Most importantly, Big Dipper Sword Heaven's father also sent a message to the Shen race, forbidding anyone to help Big Dipper Sword Heaven.
Then, he kicked Big Dipper Sword Heaven out of the 33 skies.
Honestly, Big Dipper Sword Heaven felt that it wasn't easy for him to live until now. His magic power was greatly suppressed. Although it wasn't too big of an impact, he couldn't see or hear anything. He was purely blind and deaf.
Big Dipper Sword Heaven had the will to fight even against Immortal Monarchs. Now, he would panic if he met a slightly stronger Immortal Venerable.
In this year, he had escaped from death in all sorts of ways. At first, he could still fool some people, but later on, all the cultivators he came into contact with were more or less warned.
As time passed, no one helped him anymore. It wasn't that they didn't want to help him, but his father had said that no one was allowed to help him.
Therefore, Big Dipper Sword Heaven was reduced to begging for a living. He felt that this was his darkest moment.
Below the Drunken Immortal Market.
Li Shanshi noticed Big Dipper Sword Heaven. He was a little surprised, but he also knew Big Dipper Sword Heaven's situation.
"May I ask if this is Brother Big Dipper?"
Li Shanshi was a kind and charitable person who loved making friends. Although the other party was a cultivator from the Celestial Race, he did not display a particularly arrogant attitude. Thus, Li Shanshi took the initiative to speak up.
It was just that Big Dipper Sword Heaven couldn't hear Li Shanshi's words. He could only vaguely hear her voice.
But he also heard the words' Big Dipper '.
"Right, right, right! I am a cultivator from the Big Dipper Clan. My father is Big Dipper Chen. I hope fellow cultivator can give me some food to eat."
Big Dipper Jiantian hurriedly said. He had been starving for a few months, and he really couldn't take it anymore.
Cultivators also needed to eat, just not often. However, they still needed to eat to replenish their essence, energy, and spirit. Of course, if they didn't want to eat, that was fine. They could just refine immortal energy to nourish their fleshly body. But the Big Dipper Heaven Sword was badly sealed, and the speed at which it refined immortal energy was very slow.
He didn't know where he was. What if he encountered an Immortal Sage Great Demon while he was refining? Wouldn't it be a huge loss if it swallowed him whole?
After many twists and turns, Big Dipper Sword Heaven had to rely on thirty percent walking and seventy percent on the heavens to reach the ancient city. However, he didn't expect that no one was willing to pay attention to him.
This made Big Dipper Jiantian feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Quick, invite him in."
Li Shanshi ordered someone to bring Big Dipper Sword Heaven over.
Immediately, someone helped him up to the Drunken Immortal Market.
In the private room, Lu Changsheng and the others also noticed this scene.
"Senior Brother Changsheng, this …"
The Golden Crow Prince had a bit of an opinion about the God Race, but he didn't say much. He only looked at Lu Changsheng to see Lu Changsheng's attitude.
However, the latter nodded.
Not everyone in the God Race was evil. This Big Dipper Sword Heaven didn't seem that bad, so it was fine to have a meal with him.
Very soon, Big Dipper Sword Heaven was placed at a table. The table was filled with delicacies, and a rich aroma wafted over. Big Dipper Sword Heaven couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva.
However, the God Race was still the God Race. Although it was shameful, they still had a bottom line.
"I am Big Dipper Sword Heaven, the young master of the Big Dipper Divine Race. However, due to certain reasons, my divine sense has been sealed, so I can't see or hear you. I hope you can speak a little louder."
Big Dipper Sword Heaven was quite polite. He stood up and bowed.
"You're too polite."
"You're too polite."
"Brother Sword Heaven is too polite."
Everyone spoke politely.
However, Big Dipper Sword Heaven couldn't hear them at all. After bowing, he carefully turned around and reached out to touch the chair before sitting down.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I'm a bit hungry. Can you let me eat first before talking? If possible, please knock on the table. "
Big Dipper Sword Heaven was a bit embarrassed, but he couldn't help it. He was indeed starving.
Bang!
Li Shanshi knocked on the table. Big Dipper Sword Heaven couldn't hear it, but that didn't mean he couldn't feel the vibration. Big Dipper Sword Heaven didn't have anything else to say after the table was knocked. He immediately picked up his chopsticks, but after a while, he still couldn't get anything.
Fortunately, there were maids in the Drunken Immortal Market who picked up food for him.
Big Dipper Sword Heaven also began to gorge himself.
One maid wasn't fast enough, so four maids had to pick up food for him from both sides.
Big Dipper Sword Heaven was truly hungry. In less than the time it took for a joss stick to burn, he finished all the forty-eight dishes on the table.
Everyone fell into silence. They couldn't understand Big Dipper Sword Heaven, but they could see that he had been living a miserable life recently.
After eating his fill, Big Dipper Sword Heaven let out a long sigh. He had an indescribable feeling of bliss. He had never thought that just eating and drinking would make him so satisfied.
But very soon, Big Dipper Sword Heaven hurriedly spoke.
"Thank you for your hospitality. I still don't know your names. When I'm fully enlightened, I'll definitely repay today's kindness a hundredfold."
Big Dipper Sword Heaven was very serious. Although he didn't know how many people were here, there was definitely more than one person. Of course, even if there was only one person, it wouldn't matter if he said 'everyone'.
"I'm the Golden Crow Prince."
"I'm the Star Son."
"I'm the Champion Marquis."
Everyone spoke subconsciously, but they soon fell silent. That was because they just remembered that Big Dipper Sword God was not only blind, but he was also deaf.
"I'm Li Shanshi. Brother Big Dipper, please don't be so courteous. However, why did Brother Big Dipper come to Heavenly Star Ancient City?"
Li Shanshi took out a Dharma artifact and spoke loudly into Big Dipper Sword Heaven's ear. If it wasn't for the array formation set up in the Drunken Immortal Market, her voice would have spread throughout the entire ancient city.
Such a horrifying sound caused everyone to seal their ears. Otherwise, who would be able to endure it?
"Oh, your name is Old Eight Li? What a simple name. Big Dipper Jiantian greets Brother Old Eight."
Big Dipper Jiantian stood up and bowed in the direction of the voice.
Li Shanshi: "…"
Could it be that this Big Dipper Jiantian wasn't deaf, but hard of hearing?
"It's Li Shanshi!"
Li Shanshi emphasized again.
"Old Li? I know, Brother Eighth. "
Big Dipper Jiantian was at a loss.
"It's not Eighth Li, it's Li Shanshi."
Li Shan said in a louder voice.
"Oh oh oh, Tortoise Li? I'm really sorry, I couldn't hear you clearly. Brother Tortoise, I've heard a lot about you. "
Big Dipper Sword Heaven hurriedly said. Although he didn't know why Li Shan chose this name, he still had to be polite. When they were outside, it was better to be polite and not cause trouble.
Li Shanshi: "…"
"Forget it, just call me Brother Old Eight."
Li Shanshi opened his mouth. He didn't know what to say. He was a lot more depressed, but he still said this sentence with great emphasis.
Big Dipper Sword Heaven was a little stunned. Was it Brother Eighth or Brother Tortoise?
However, at this moment, Lu Changsheng's voice sounded.
"May I know why Brother Jiantian has come to Sky Star Ancient City?"
Li Shanshi's voice wasn't very loud. He wanted to remind Lu Changsheng that Big Dipper Sword Heaven was hard of hearing, but he didn't expect Big Dipper Sword Heaven to answer him.
"Fellow Daoist, I've come to Sky Star Ancient City because someone from the Celestial Race is gathering the stone appraisal experts for tomorrow's Stone Evaluation Conference. The main purpose is to suppress that Lu Changsheng."
Big Dipper Sword Heaven said seriously.
However, his words stunned everyone present. First, they were surprised that Big Dipper Sword Heaven could hear Lu Changsheng's words so clearly. Second, they were surprised that Big Dipper Sword Heaven said that he wanted to suppress Lu Changsheng.
"Oh? Suppress Lu Changsheng? In that case, Brother Jiantian, how do you plan to suppress Lu Changsheng? "
Lu Changsheng wasn't angry. He was just curious about how Big Dipper Sword Heaven was going to suppress him.
However, Big Dipper Sword Heaven immediately shook his head. "I'm not the one suppressing Lu Changsheng. It's the Celestial Race's prodigy who wants to suppress Lu Changsheng. I have no enmity with Lu Changsheng, so why should I find trouble with him?"
Big Dipper Sword Heaven answered, and everyone nodded slightly. This Big Dipper Sword Heaven was rather tactful.
"It's the Celestial Race's internal department that wants to suppress Lu Changsheng. They even invited three of the Celestial Race's senior array masters for the Stone Evaluation Conference. I think Lu Changsheng will definitely lose, unless …"
Big Dipper Sword Heaven said.
"Unless what?"
Everyone was curious, and even Lu Changsheng couldn't help but ask curiously.
Then, Big Dipper Sword Heaven smiled confidently. "Unless Lu Changsheng comes to me for help, he will definitely lose."
Big Dipper Sword Heaven said in an incomparably serious tone.
As soon as he said that, everyone fell silent.
A blind man going to appraise stones? Wasn't this a joke?
"Everyone, don't doubt me. I, Big Dipper Sword Heaven, am known as the number one Stone Evaluation Master of the Celestial Race. Moreover, I have a close friend, and I'm afraid that he has also come to Sky Star Ancient City. If I join forces with him, all the stone shops in the world will have to show some respect to the two of us."
Big Dipper Sword Heaven said in a serious tone, and no one knew if it was true or not.
"Then, what do you think of this Lu Changsheng?"
Lu Changsheng asked.
Big Dipper Sword Heaven immediately bowed and said, "I've never come in contact with him, so it's hard to say. However, to be able to become number one on the True Dragon Ranking, he definitely has his own strength. I don't know if I can defeat him, but there's one thing I'm sure of."
Big Dipper Sword Heaven said with an incomparably serious expression.
"What is it?"
Lu Changsheng's curiosity was piqued.
"In terms of sword skills, I don't dare to claim to be number one. In terms of stone evaluation, I don't dare to claim to be number one either. However, in terms of looks, Lu Changsheng is probably slightly inferior to me."
Big Dipper Sword Heaven was extremely confident.
In an instant, everyone was stunned, including Lu Changsheng.
They didn't expect Big Dipper Sword Heaven to be such a narcissist.
"Oh, right, I haven't asked for your name yet."
Big Dipper Sword Heaven suddenly realized that he hadn't asked for the other party's name yet.
"I'm Lu Muzhi."
Lu Changsheng pondered for a moment and didn't say his name.
"Lu Muzhi? That's a good name. Brother Muzhi, I won't say anything else. In order to repay this debt of gratitude, I'll show a little of my skills at the Stone Evaluation Conference tomorrow as a gift to everyone! Everyone will get a share, and everyone will get an immortal stone. "
Big Dipper Sword Heaven seemed to be very confident in stone evaluation.
Everyone fell silent and pondered for a moment. They really didn't know what to say, so they could only go along with Big Dipper Sword Heaven's wishes.
Just like that, as the first ray of sunlight shone into the Drunken Immortal Market, the sky brightened.
Dong!
Dong!
Dong!
The bell in the ancient city rang, signifying the official start of the True Dragon Tournament.
At this moment, Li Shanshi stood up and said, "Senior Brother Changsheng, the Stone Evaluation Conference has probably started. Should we go over now?"
Li Shanshi asked.
Glancing at the golden sun outside the window, Lu Changsheng nodded.
He was also very curious about how different the Stone Evaluation Conference would be.
"Senior Brother Changsheng, we might have to leave temporarily. Someone from the Sect is here, so we have to go over first."
At this moment, the Xingchen Child and the others spoke up to inform Lu Changsheng.
"Alright, let's gather again after the Stone Evaluation Conference."
Lu Changsheng nodded, and the Xingchen Child, Xu Qing, Liu Ruyan, and the others immediately left.
All of a sudden, only Lu Changsheng, the Golden Crow Prince, Taishang Xuanji, Ye Rujin, Li Shanshi, Tian Jizi, the Peacock King, Tian Jizi, and Big Dipper Sword Heaven were left in the pavilion.
Soon, everyone got up, and Big Dipper Sword Heaven was supported by someone as he walked towards the Stone Evaluation Conference.
The Stone Evaluation Conference was set to be held in the Northern District Market of the Heavenly Star Ancient City. It covered an area of 150 square kilometers and had tens of millions of stone shops.
Before going to the Northern District Market, Li Shanshi explained the rules and some related information of the Stone Evaluation Conference to Lu Changsheng.
"Senior Brother Changsheng, the Stone Evaluation Conference is divided into three grades. The most common grade is the ordinary stone shops, the second grade is the stone shops with some Immortal Stones, and the highest grade is the stone shops of sacred grounds, dynasties, and some extremely famous mines."
"The higher the grade, the higher the price of the Immortal Stones in the stone shops. Of course, the price of the Immortal Stones doesn't necessarily mean that the ancient stones are good. Everything still depends. Many cultivators will also find treasures from a pile of cheap ancient stones and become rich, but they usually won't find anything."
Li Shanshi explained.
Lu Changsheng nodded, but soon, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Ancient stones?"
"Yes, ancient stones. In order to differentiate them, Immortal Stones are our hard currency, while ancient stones are ancient Immortal Stones that can be used to find treasures."
Li Shanshi explained.
However, at this moment, a voice sounded all of a sudden.
"Brother Jiantian!"
Following that, a tall and strong man appeared in front of everyone.
