Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1332 Good Luck

He explored each piece one by one.

Ye Qing guessed that only when he actually touched a stone and felt the pulse of its patterns would he be able to fully understand the meaning of "touching patterns".

Time passed by minute by minute.

After some time, Ling Tian reminded everyone, "There's one minute left. If you can't choose a stone, you'll be considered to have forfeited!"

Ye Qing knew that he most likely had no chance in this round.

He looked at the dozens of stones in front of him and selected the one that emitted the most energy.

Then he grabbed the stone, dropped it to the ground, and placed it on the table.

Feng Xiao looked at the stone Ye Qing had chosen and scoffed, "I thought you were a Star Pattern Treasure Hunter, but judging from your technique, you don't seem like one. I've never met anyone who picks stones like you. You can even tell by touching them?"

Ye Qing ignored him and handed the stone to the master who was cutting it!

"I'll go first!" Feng Xiao shouted in a low voice, "Stone cutting!"

The stone-cutting master gave a low shout, and then the blade flashed!

Everyone was watching intently!

A few minutes later, a gentle energy suddenly emanated from the area. As this energy spread, Ye Qing noticed that the surroundings began to become somewhat damp, as if the water-attribute power between heaven and earth was gathering towards this place.

The scene erupted in uproar.

"It is the eye of the spiritual spring, it is the eye of the spiritual spring!"

"As expected of a top ten Star Pattern Treasure Hunter, a single Spirit Spring Eye is enough to gather the power of water attribute from heaven and earth, making the water attribute energy more concentrated. Although it cannot support too much, it is already a treasure of grade seven or above!"

Above, Ling Tian looked at the spirit spring eye that had been cut out and said calmly, "The spirit spring eye that Feng Xiao cut out is worth two seventh-grade weapons!"

After saying that, he looked at Ye Qing and said, "It's your turn!"

Feng Xiao sneered from afar, "Why don't you just cut it in half? Why waste the stone-cutting master's time!"

Ye Qing glanced at him and said, "I think you're just wasting air by living. You might as well just kill yourself."

Feng Xiao sneered, "Sharp-tongued!"

"Cut it!" Ye Qing said to the stone-cutting master.

As the stone-cutting master continued to cut, a surge of energy erupted in no time.

A dazzling blue light shot out, and as the blue light appeared, a sudden gale arose around them.

"Holy crap! What is this?!"

At this moment, a green plant, resembling a seedling, floated out from it. Although it looked like a seedling, it was bursting with endless wind-attribute energy!

"This is the Azure Lotus, which can bear the Wind Chime Fruit, and is also one of the main ingredients for refining Grade 8 pills! Even when the wind rages fiercely, it remains unmoved!"

Ling Tian's pupils dilated slightly in surprise. He glanced at Ye Qing and then said, "This person..."

At this point, he frowned and asked, "What's your name?"

"Just call me the winner!" Ye Qing said.

Ye Qing's words caused everyone's expressions to shift slightly. Then Ling Tian coughed and said, "Mr. Winner, the Azure Lotus has been obtained, worth... two Rank 7 weapons!"

Feng Xiao, who was in the distance, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You actually managed to pick one? But it doesn't matter, it's just pure luck. This competition is inherently random. Of the star-patterned stones here, about a third can yield treasures. You were just lucky to pick this one! I don't believe you can get anything good in the next two rounds!"

……

In the distance, Chen Xuan breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "Damn it, thank goodness! The first round is a tie!"

“It’s a relative tie, but Ye Qing actually lost by a small margin!” Gerong said. “Overall, the Eye of the Spirit Spring is still more valuable. If the items that everyone gets later are of similar value, then Feng Xiao might win because of the Eye of the Spirit Spring.”

Meanwhile, in the attic above, the big yellow dog wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "That brat's luck is pretty good. Although he's a little short, he managed to stay close. Hopefully, he'll have a chance to overtake us in the next two rounds!"

"Just as I suspected?" Yongle the Great Sage said with a smile, "Interesting, very interesting!"

“Although I was not yet alive during Zhang Tianlin’s active era, I have heard of his skills in stone divination, divine eyes, pattern reading, treasure hunting, and lamp lighting!” said the Great Sage Yongle. “Legend has it that he once opened up three ninth-grade sacred artifacts in a single day, making him stand proudly between heaven and earth!”

"So if I'm not mistaken, the method this kid used just now was probably Divine Eye and Pattern Touch, but it seems he doesn't quite understand Pattern Touch yet," said Yongle Great Sage. "Give him some time, and he should be much stronger than Feng Xiao, but... he's too young. To be honest, I'm not very optimistic about him!"

The big yellow dog sneered and said, "Your judgment has always been poor, so it's normal that you don't think highly of him!"

"Others may not know, but I do!" Just then, the Great Sage Yongle said, "You think this kid can win by luck, right?"

The big yellow dog squinted and said, "What kind of luck?"

"Stop pretending!" said the Great Sage Yongle. "Tian Ge sacrificed himself, using the entire ancient star as a price, to steal the fortune of heaven and earth and plot for the future. This... it was all your doing!"

"What kind of nonsense would I set up? If I were to set up something, it would kill Tian Ge!" the big yellow dog cursed.

The Great Sage Yongle said with a smile, "That's hard to say. You dog, you're treacherous and ruthless. Sacrificing an entire star system for you..."

"Go to hell!" the big yellow dog cursed. "Don't think I'm like you! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"

"Do you know what I'm thinking?" Yongle Dasheng said with a half-smile.

The big yellow dog glanced at him with a sneer, but didn't say anything. Instead, its gaze fell downwards.

Below, the second round of stone selection has begun.
