Seeing the shocked expressions on Yi Feng and the others, Yi Kai couldn't help but feel a bit smug and said, "This Primordial Stone is extremely rare and can only be used to trade for the most precious treasures."
"However, the Stone轩 Street is different."
A hint of excitement flashed in Yi Kai's eyes as he said to Yi Tian and the others, "On Stone轩 Street, every shop needs a large amount of raw stones from the Primordial Vein Mine. Most of them are waste stones, which do not contain the essence of heaven and earth. Only a very small number are true Primordial Stones."
"On Stone轩 Street, you can choose three raw stones for just one gold coin. If you pick a Primordial Stone, you'll be rich."
As he finished speaking, Yi Kai couldn't wait to go there immediately.
Yi Tian and the others were also very interested in Stone轩 Street, so they followed Yi Kai and headed there together.
When they arrived at Stone轩 Street, they found that the street was extremely crowded. A large number of martial artists and ordinary people were mingling, entering and exiting the shops.
At the same time, on Stone轩 Street, there was a group of mid-rank martial artists patrolling to maintain order. No one was allowed to use force here.
Yi Kai and his group entered Stone轩 Street with their bags. Xiao Long and Xiao Ting were holding snacks in both hands, eating happily. This scene caught the attention of many people, who couldn't help but show a hint of disdain.
Yi Tian and the others looked like savages from the wilderness, wearing leather clothes and carrying large bags. Even ordinary people dressed in coarse linen felt superior when they saw them.
Yi Tian ignored these looks.
The warriors of the Yi tribe often went into the mountains to hunt, moving through dense forests and hunting fierce beasts. Leather clothes were their best attire, being sturdy, durable, and providing good defense.
Moreover, in Yi Tian's previous life, leather clothes were considered high-end and expensive.
They casually entered a shop.
Soon, a shop assistant approached them.
However, his expression was somewhat arrogant, showing no particular respect for Yi Tian and his group.
"Welcome, honored guests. The raw stones in our shop come from a large Primordial Vein Mine. There is a high chance of finding Primordial Stones. You can choose three raw stones for one gold coin!"
After saying this, he stepped aside.
Yi Tian didn't mind the assistant's coldness.
However, Yi Kai and Yi Feng were somewhat annoyed. After all, they were just a shop assistant, yet they treated them with such an attitude.
But they soon became engrossed in selecting the raw stones.
These raw stones from the Primordial Vein Mine looked the same on the outside, and it was impossible to tell the difference between Primordial Stones and waste stones.
Only after using a cultivation technique could one distinguish between Primordial Stones and waste stones.
If it was a waste stone, it would immediately shatter once a cultivation technique was used.
Therefore, using a cultivation technique to select raw stones was strictly forbidden, and it was impossible to tell the difference with the naked eye. Selecting a Primordial Stone was entirely a matter of luck.
Yi Tian and the others dispersed, searching the shop, which covered an area of about one acre.
In this shop called Stone Fortune Pavilion, there were at least tens of thousands of raw stones on the shelves and on the ground. At least a hundred customers were selecting stones, occasionally discussing and arguing.
Among these tens of thousands of raw stones, if the quality was good, there might be a dozen Primordial Stones. If the quality was poor, there might not be a single Primordial Stone among the tens of thousands.
The chances of selecting a Primordial Stone from these tens of thousands of raw stones were very low.
However, even with such low odds, one gold coin allowed you to choose three raw stones. If you picked a Primordial Stone, you would become rich instantly, with a return of hundreds of times. This was an irresistible attraction for many people, even martial artists who liked the idea of making a big profit with a small investment.
Yi Tian picked up a raw stone and, with his naked eye, didn't notice anything different.
He secretly glanced at the stone ring on his wrist, which showed no desire. This proved that the raw stone in his hand was not a Primordial Stone and did not contain the essence of heaven and earth.
This gave Yi Tian an idea.
His Star Mud avatar might be able to distinguish whether the raw stone in his hand was a Primordial Stone.
Thinking of this, Yi Tian felt a surge of excitement.
In this way, he might be able to obtain a lot of Primordial Stones on Stone轩 Street, greatly increasing his wealth.
Yi Tian began his frenzied actions.
He picked up a raw stone, pretended to examine it, and quickly put it down, then picked up another one.
This went on as Yi Tian continuously picked up and put down raw stones in the shop.
The shop assistant, who saw Yi Tian's actions, looked somewhat displeased.
Yi Tian's behavior also caught the attention of many customers in Stone Fortune Pavilion, but they soon shook their heads.
The shopkeeper of Stone Fortune Pavilion was a large, fat man. He saw Yi Tian's actions from a distance and sneered, not stopping him.
When Yi Tian had handled at least a thousand raw stones, he suddenly felt a strong desire from the Star Mud, much stronger than his desire for the fiery true qi in his dantian.
Yi Tian quickly locked onto his target.
It was a raw stone on his right. When he picked it up, the stone ring, which had transformed from the Star Mud, showed an even stronger desire, but Yi Tian suppressed its instinct.
Yi Tian did not put down this Primordial Stone.
His Star Mud avatar could sense items containing essence, but its range was limited, which was why it hadn't sensed anything before.
The range of the Star Mud avatar's sensing was small.
This was Yi Tian's conclusion.
Next, Yi Tian stopped picking up raw stones one by one.
This method was too slow and would draw attention. For Yi Tian, the best way was to make a fortune quietly.
Yi Tian walked past the shelves.
He seemed to be examining them, then left unsatisfied, occasionally selecting a raw stone.
By the time he had walked through most of Stone Fortune Pavilion, he had three raw stones in his hand.
These were three Primordial Stones!
Yi Tian was extremely excited inside, but his expression remained calm.
In the entire Yi tribe, probably only the elders and the leader had Primordial Stones. As for the others, no one had ever heard of a warrior in the tribe having a Primordial Stone.
"Get out of my way, you little beggar!"
At this moment, a arrogant voice came from the entrance of Stone Fortune Pavilion.
Immediately, a child's cry was heard.
"You bad person, how dare you hit my sister! I'll fight you to the death!"
Another boy's voice rang out.
This incident drew the attention of the customers in Stone Fortune Pavilion. At the entrance, a cute little girl was lying on the ground, and another boy was glaring at a young man with a fair complexion, charging at him.
"Looking for death!"
A servant beside the young man sneered and kicked the boy.
Yi Tian knew what was happening as soon as the conflict broke out. Seeing this, he was immediately filled with rage.
The little girl who was knocked down was none other than his sister, Yi Xiaoting. What made him even more angry was that the servant's kick was so powerful that even an adult might not be able to withstand it, let alone a six-year-old child. She would likely be seriously injured if not killed.
"Die!"
At this moment, a tall figure rushed out and kicked back.
Bang!
A loud noise echoed.
The figure was pushed back a few steps, and the servant was also pushed back one step.
"Xiaoting, are you okay?"
The figure that rushed out was Yi Shan. He was nearby and quickly came to Xiaoting's aid when he saw her being knocked down.
Soon, Yi Kai, Yi Tian, Yi Feng, and Yi Li arrived, all glaring at the arrogant young man and his servant.
Yi Tian examined Xiaoting and found that she only had some minor scratches on her hands and arms. However, the incident had frightened her, and she was crying.
This made Yi Tian's anger rise.
He had always been very loving towards Xiao Long, Xiaoting, and the others. He never imagined that Xiaoting would suffer such a great injustice, and Xiao Long almost suffered a serious injury from the servant's kick. This almost made him lose his mind, and he wanted to kill them all on the spot.
"Who are you? How dare you attack a child so brutally! Don't you know that fighting is not allowed on Stone轩 Street!"
Yi Kai was also filled with anger towards the master and servant.
He wanted to protect Yi Tian and the others, but he never imagined that Xiaoting and Xiao Long would be harmed so quickly. This made him extremely angry. If he didn't know that fighting was not allowed on Stone轩 Street, he would have beaten them up long ago.
