The Tao of Immortality Gu: Start by creating your own Water Bear Gu - #8 - Chapter 8 Gambling on Stones

After a period of time, no more customers came to the door. Seeing no one, Long Xuan closed the stall.

Although there are still seven small strong Gu that have not been sold, I have made six middle-grade spiritual stones today, which is equivalent to six hundred low-grade spiritual stones. This is no longer a small sum for a casual cultivator. Long Xuan is very Contentment.

With a huge sum of money in his pocket, he finally had the confidence to go Taobao.

Long Xuan couldn’t wait to go into the depths of Fang City to find the piece of black iron and the high-grade spiritual stone that he had always missed.

However, after a month and a half, how could we meet again by such a coincidence?

What’s more, every Gu cultivator is busy practicing and collecting resources in the wild. It’s impossible to set up a stall here every day. Whether you can come across it can only depend on luck.

After searching for it to no avail, Long Xuan could only give up in disappointment. It seemed that he did not have the aura of the protagonist.

But it doesn’t matter, there are too many treasures. One day, a bunch of new stall owners and new treasures won’t flow into the market. The treasures are endless.

If the old treasures don’t go away, the new treasures won’t come. The new treasures flowing in may not be worse than the old treasures.

After Long Xuan adjusted his mentality, he walked towards a shop with an unusually large area.

Some time ago, a new chamber of commerce settled here, which deals in fossils. Countless fossils were piled up in the yard of the shop.

In this world, there are many sources of spiritual insects, some are caught in the wild, and some are artificially bred.

The elixirs in the medicine garden can also produce insects, but only the insects spawned by high-grade elixirs have the value of refining gu. The insects spawned by the first-grade elixirs on the street will be beaten to death by insect killers.

Some spiritual beasts also harbor certain spiritual insects, including those that may be innate in humans. They are called innate spiritual insects. Such people are often geniuses with incredible abilities.

There are also some spiritual insects that come from underground, such as earthworms, mole crickets, ants…

Even hard rocks may have worms in them, and the quality may be quite low.

The ice age that the earth enters every long cycle actually exists in this world as well, and it will be even colder.

During this period, the temperature dropped sharply, cold currents invaded the entire world, and the coldness encroached on every corner. The entire surface was covered by snow and glaciers, and the entire world entered a world of ice, covered with white snow and biting cold winds.

At this point, the earth will usher in eternal winter, and the earth will no longer experience a day of warmth for countless years.

During this period of time, surface plants were frozen to death on a large scale, and the earth would no longer produce food. All living things in the world would either freeze to death or starve to death, and all life would be cut off. I don’t know how many species would be extinct in the Ice Age, and there would be very few survivors.

Insects are considered to be the most survivable type of life form. When the Ice Age comes, insects all over the world will crawl underground under the leadership of high-level spiritual insects and enter a dormant period. At the same time, their bodies will be covered with a layer of… A thick layer of stone clothing is used to isolate the cold air from eroding.

Insects entering the dormant period will fall into a state of suspended animation, all body functions will stop functioning, and they can stop eating or drinking. Energy consumption will be suspended, and their longevity will also be stationary, allowing them to survive endless years.

Until external factors disturb them, they will wake up and slowly crawl out of the stone clothing. When they come out again, tens of millions or even tens of billions of years may have passed.

These stones with ancient spiritual insects inside are called fossils by Gu cultivators.

The spiritual insects in the fossils are too far away, and there are very likely to be rare species, or even species that have been extinct for countless years. They are of great value. Once discovered, you can easily become rich.

However, it is impossible for all spirit insects to survive the Ice Age. Most spirit insects will freeze to death even if they have stone clothing to protect themselves from the cold. There are very few spirit insects that can survive that period.

Therefore, most of the stones are filled with dead insects, which have already become true fossils over the endless years. There is not a single stone with live insects left.

In order to maximize profits, the forces that control the fossil mines sell all the fossils and transfer all the risks to others. Whether they lose or make money depends entirely on personal luck.

From this, the stone gambling industry, which is popular all over the world, came into being.

One knife makes you poor, another makes you rich, and one knife cuts through linen. This industry is about heartbeat.

Although most people lost money, the majority of Gu cultivators still enjoyed it, hoping that luck would be on their side and they could make a fortune overnight by using a heaven-defying insect seed. These people were all gamblers.

There are some rules in stone gambling. You can estimate whether there are live insects in the stone through its texture, so there are many stone gambling masters.

But even the most powerful stone gambling master in the world is only a few points more successful than others. No one can completely determine what is in the stone, whether it is a dead insect or a live insect.

But today, an exception came into this stone betting shop.

In Long Xuan’s eyes, those stones whose progress cannot be seen naturally have no insects, while the stones whose progress can be seen naturally have insects inside, and the more numbers after the decimal point, the better the stone is.

The entire Stone Betting Shop’s good stuff was just like it was given to him for free.

A smile appeared on Long Xuan’s lips, he continued to cover his face, and stepped in confidently.

This stone gambling shop is very large and is divided into several major areas. Fossils that are good-looking and have a high insect-infestation rate are concentrated in one area and sold at a very high price.

Fossils that do not sell well and are more prone to dead insects are piled up in another area. This area occupies the largest area, and the fossils in this area are also cheaper.

The largest number of people gather in this area, and it is everyone’s mentality to take advantage of small things and make big mistakes.

They picked up the fossils, knocked and touched them, studied them carefully for a long time, and finally had to choose. Therefore, although there are many people here, transactions are not frequent.

The stones ranged from big to small, the small ones were only about the size of fists, and the big ones were four meters high. They were put on display in the middle of the courtyard and were called stone kings. There were a group of people watching around, touching the fossil and talking in their mouths. Amazing.

Of course, the price of this stone king was naturally the highest in the whole place. No one dared to buy it, and few people could afford it. It was left there all the time. Although there were many people watching, no one took action.

Long Xuan was also surprised by this stone king. How afraid of death was this spiritual insect that it could form such a thick stone coat? No one would be able to freeze it to death with such a thick stone coat.

Presumably the insect rate of this stone king will be very high.

Long Xuan subconsciously activated the golden finger’s ability, and sure enough, the stone king showed progress [82.68732%].

Good guy, there are five digits after the decimal point, which means that what is hidden inside may be a top-grade spiritual worm that has matured for more than ten thousand years, and top-grade spiritual worms are necessary materials for refining top-grade Gu worms.

Long Xuan’s eyes suddenly lit up and his heart beat wildly.
