Chapter 1807 The Methods of the Celestial Master!
Ye Chuyun even saw a burly man bite his fingertip, force out a drop of blood, which floated in his palm, and then slowly approach the shield, seemingly trying to resonate with it using the power of his bloodline.
As soon as the drop of blood got close, it was automatically repelled by the shield without any reaction.
Using coins for divination, using mirrors for reflection—it's like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their unique abilities...
Feng Qingyu waved her fan, watching the lively scene with a smile, then turned to Ye Chuyun and said, "Why don't you try your luck?"
"It's so boring just looking at it."
Ye Chuyun shook his head, his gaze still fixed on the busy crowd investigating: "This junior knows nothing about sealing eggs, and these people's methods seem to have limited effectiveness."
"Although it was lively, not a single person actually made up their mind to buy anything, which shows that even they were unsure of themselves."
"These divine and demonic coins I have are hard-earned. I have important matters to attend to tomorrow, so I dare not act rashly based on my feelings here. I should observe first and see what's going on."
A hint of approval flashed in Feng Qingyu's eyes: "Yes, caution is a good thing. It's the norm to lose nine out of ten times, or even ten out of ten times, when it comes to egg-smashing bets."
"Look at these guys, most of them are just here to try their luck and watch the show. Those who dare to bet big are either rich and can afford to lose, or like those two, they have some confidence in their abilities."
The "two" he was referring to were naturally Jin Jingzi and Jiuxiu Sanren, who had already made a bet.
These two celestial masters had already begun their operation.
Instead of crowding in front of the shield like the others, they each occupied a relatively quiet spot at a distance and used their unique methods.
Jin Jingzi stood on the left side of the platform, hands behind his back, looking focused.
The golden vertical line on his forehead had now fully opened, revealing a gleaming golden vertical eye.
The vertical eye shot out a golden beam of light, scanning the sealed eggs on the platform like a scanner.
Where the beam of light passed, the chaotic mist on the eggshell surface seemed to ripple slightly, but quickly returned to calm.
Jin Jingzi's gaze followed the beam of light, sometimes lingering on an egg for a long time, sometimes quickly sweeping over it, his brows sometimes furrowing and sometimes relaxing, deciphering information that only he could understand.
Meanwhile, the Wine-Scented Hermit sat cross-legged on the ground to the right of the platform, with his greasy gourd in front of him.
He didn't open his eyes to look at the eggs; instead, he closed them and kept taking deep breaths through his red, bulbous nose.
His chest rose and fell dramatically with each breath, and his nostrils flared rapidly, as if trying to capture and analyze every trace of scent in the air.
Time passed slowly, and despite their repeated attempts, no one was the first to make a purchase.
Obviously, when faced with a gamble that is entirely based on guesswork, even the most impulsive person will become extremely hesitant at the moment of handing over their money.
Just when many people were starting to get impatient, Jin Jingzi on the platform finally made his next move.
The light in his vertical eye on his forehead suddenly faded, and his gaze was fixed firmly on an egg slightly to the left of the center of the stone platform.
It was a sealed egg with blue patterns on its surface, about the size of a washbasin.
A glint flashed in Jin Jingzi's eyes, as if he had made up his mind.
Without further hesitation, he strode towards the trading table, where staff were responsible for collecting payments and settling accounts.
"I want that Earth-character number 73, dark silver blue patterned egg."
The staff quickly confirmed the egg's number and location, and quoted the price: "Earth character number seventy-three, twelve billion God and Demon coins."
1.2 billion!
This price has left many people speechless.
But for a renowned master of divination, this seems to make sense.
Jin Jingzi remained expressionless and directly took out the crystal card to complete the payment.
After verifying that everything was correct, the staff handed him a jade pendant engraved with the corresponding number.
Only by possessing this jade token can you ask the guard to open the protective shield and retrieve the corresponding egg for unsealing.
When Jin Jingzi made the first move and even picked an egg that looked expensive, the crowd immediately stirred.
"Jin Jingzi has made his move, setting his sights on that silver egg that crackles with electricity."
"1.2 billion! That's a huge sum. If nothing comes out, I think I'll faint on the spot."
"I wonder what's inside. Just looking at the pattern on the eggshell, it seems quite unusual."
"Perhaps it's an ancient lightning-type magical artifact or energy core?"
However, before Jin Jingzi could take the jade token to retrieve the egg, Jiuxiu Sanren on the other side suddenly opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and his gaze shot like lightning to the other side of the stone platform.
He chose an egg that looked like a pebble and was quite unremarkable.
"Heh heh, three eyes, you're pretty quick." The Wine-Scented Hermit chuckled, stood up, dusted off his backside, and swayed toward the trading platform.
"I also have my eye on one, the one with the character 'Xuan' nineteen, the gray stone egg."
The staff member glanced at it and quoted a price: "Xuan character nineteen, three hundred million God and Demon Coins."
This price is much cheaper than the eggs selected by the Golden Eyes, but how can such an inconspicuous egg cost 300 million?
Many people looked puzzled.
The wine-scented hermit didn't care at all, and paid the money just as readily, receiving the corresponding jade token.
The two chose their targets almost simultaneously, and are about to enter the most exciting part.
That means opening the seal and inspecting the eggs!
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Jin Jingzi and Jiuxiu Sanren each held a jade token and arrived in front of the protective barrier.
After the guards verified the jade token, they opened two passages, each only large enough for one person to pass through, at the corresponding locations.
Jin Jingzi walked up to the dark silver-blue patterned egg, carefully picked it up with both hands, and returned to the specially designated unsealing area on the platform.
The Wine-Scented Hermit casually wrapped his hand in his tattered sleeve, grabbed the gray stone egg, and walked into the unsealed area, standing several feet away from Golden Eyes.
Everyone was on tenterhooks, afraid of missing any detail.
"Old drunkard, watch closely." Jin Jingzi sneered, channeling a gentle spiritual energy to envelop the dark silver-blue patterned egg in his hand, then gave it a light shake.
"Snap..."
Cracks began to appear on the eggshell, and the blue patterns suddenly became glaring.
As the cracks widened, the entire eggshell shattered into countless fragments shimmering with silver-blue light, scattering in all directions.
However, the scene of dazzling light and wondrous phenomena that everyone had imagined did not appear the next second.
After the eggshell fragments scattered, Jin Jingzi was left with only a fist-sized piece of dark silver metal.
The surface of the metal block was dull and covered with pits and pores. Although there was still a faint trace of lightning energy remaining, it looked like a piece of waste material that had run out of energy.
"This...this is..." Jin Jingzi's expression froze instantly as she held the metal block, her eyes filled with astonishment and disbelief.
His vertical eye on his forehead involuntarily opened again, staring intently at the metal in his hand. The golden light swept over it, and he realized that it was indeed a piece of scrap.
