As they got out of the Antique Store, Lu Wan looked at Ye Jiao with envy. "You're very lucky, Jiao'er."
"Yeah," Ye Jiao nodded her head. "I'm happy that I can start learning them."
"Don't forget your lesson as well. If you don't pass, you won't be able to study anything else because you'll be punished," Qin Zheng reminded her.
"Wait, there's punishment?" Lu Wan was shocked.
"Yes," Qi Huan nodded. He had read the rules yesterday, so he still remembered them all. "If you didn't manage to complete the four months' training, your rank would be downgraded by one, and you have to do the same training after your first mission in Spring."
Do the same training?
Ye Jiao smiled bitterly. The thought of repeating this hellish training would never cross her mind at all. She already had enough running for the next four months. There was no need to add even more.
"Let's go to the mining area," Qin Zheng pointed in one direction.
"Don't we need to wait for Senior Sister Lin?"
"No need to worry, she's going to be fine, running a few rounds to find food."
The others: "…" why did I have the feeling that Senior Sister Lin loves food?
"She has a sweet tooth."
After saying that, Qin Zheng didn't reveal anything about Lin Cai anymore. They headed to the mining area outside the market. There were a lot of people carrying colorful stones outside. Each of them has Eon Energy inside, but it was unclear what type of stones they were.
The stones were piled up in one area. There was also a different area filled with metals that were also piled up.
"This is the place for stone gambling?" Lu Wan was surprised. He had never seen the place before, making him utterly curious. It didn't seem to be any different from a mining area where they just threw everything outside.
Qin Zheng nodded. "This used to be a mine, but the route in the caves got connected with several different mines. Since the number of metals has been decreasing, it's hard to find anything valuable anymore. They change the way to trade the stones for everyone who feels that they're lucky."
"There are two piles," Ye Jiao pointed to the other ones.
"It's the one that can be seen as ores. However, most of them are just low grade unused ores. The prices are higher because if you smelt them, it might reveal better ores, but the chance is slim."
Qi Huan stroked his chin. "Some ores look no different than stones, and only experts can differentiate them. However, all of us are Eon Energy Master Rank 3 at the very least, don't you think it's easy for us to sense the Eon Energy?"
Eon Energy is the basic energy of everything in the world. Everything has a bit of Eon Energy, even stones. Those valuable metals naturally have much more Eon Energy inside them, but differentiating them from ordinary stones was not easy. Except they have high sensitivity, they would need to rely on the stones' characteristics around them.
Lu Wan turned his head to Ye Jiao. "Does it mean she'll be able to sense them?"
"She couldn't differentiate them even if she knows that they contain Eon Energy," Qin Zheng chuckled. "Besides, they can just pour Eon Energy on the surface of the rocks to make it harder to differentiate them."
"Ah…"
Ye Jiao smiled bitterly. If it was that easy, she might be able to consider becoming a supplier of ores. Her eyes landed on the pile of the stones as she could sense the Eon Energy brimming from the middle.
Qin Zheng walked to the pile. "Every stone here cost 100 low grade Eon Energy Stones to buy, so if you want one, you need to make sure that you have the money to pay."
100?
Lu Wan wanted to cry. He still didn't have any money. Considering that there were possibilities for these stones to contain valuable ore, it was no wonder that they decided to give a high price. However, who in the world would be able to pick so many valuable stones in this densely packed pile of stones?
"Let's start picking stones."
Qin Zheng closed his eyes as he started to use his Eon Energy to examine the stones. There was no restriction to use their Eon Energy to probe because it was not easy even with probing. After all, there were more than a million stones in this pile.
Trying to find one valuable ore wouldn't be easy.
Ye Jiao picked up a stone curiously. She could sense a bit of Eon Energy inside the stone, but it was not much different from other stones.
"I'll be taking this stone," a hand took the stone in Ye Jiao's hand.
"Hey! She's looking at that stone!" Lu Wan berated.
The one who took it was a beautiful woman. She has long blonde hair with a slender figure. The Hua Shan Academy's mark on her robe told them clearly that she must be a Core Disciple in that academy.
"Do you plan to buy it?" the woman looked at Ye Jiao with a bit of disdain. The slight Eon Energy around her told them clearly that she must be rank 4. Also, she must have been in that rank for quite some time considering her stable foundation.
Ye Jiao furrowed her brows. She disliked this woman for using her higher rank to pressure her, but she indeed didn't have any plan to buy it.
"Yes, she'll buy it," Qin Zheng interrupted. His cold gaze was looking straight to the woman, who was taller than him. "Do you have any objection with it, Su Mingyue?"
The woman named Su Mingyue furrowed her brows. She returned the stone back in Ye Jiao's hand. "It seems that it's not my luck today. I'll be picking different stones, then Senior Brother Qin."
As the woman walked away, Lu Wan's face darkened. "Who did she think she was? Taking a stone from another person like that!"
"She's Su Mingyue, the second ranked Core Disciple in Hua Shan Academy," Qi Huan interrupted. "If you try to fight with her, it's certain that you'll lose, Lu Wan."
"What?"
"She's already Eon Energy Master Rank 4," Ye Jiao added. "Also, we hadn't learned the stages, but I can sense that she's not someone who had just broken through."
"Uh…" Lu wan grumbled. He knew that he wouldn't be a match against Eon Energy Master Rank 4 no matter what happened. His rank 3 early stage alone already placed him at the bottom against most Eon Energy Master Rank 3.
Ye Jiao turned her head to Qin Zheng. "Also, do you want this stone?"
"You owe me an ore, right?" Qin Zheng arched his eyebrows. "You should pick some stones too."
Ye Jiao: "…" she truly wanted to hit him.
It took Qin Zheng a long time before he settled with 20 different stones. Ye Jiao only bought that one stone that she picked first and handed it to Qin Zheng since she couldn't really sense anything within it.
"Are you going to clean them now?" Qi Huan asked curiously.
"I'll just do it in my workplace," Qin Zheng shook his head. "If I manage to obtain a valuable ore, it can cause a ruckus in this place."
"Right~," Lu Wan's tone was full of disbelief, but he didn't try to argue.
Lin Cai and Mu Xin were waiting in the market. Mu Xin looked glad when she saw them while Lin Cai was holding a large bag filled with numerous sweets.
"Chocolate, caramel, candy…." Lu Wan was stunned. "Are you sure you won't get fat eating them all?"
In that instant, they all could feel murderous intent coming from Lin Cai. She looked at Lu Wan with a dangerous smile on her lips. "What. Did. You. Say?"
"Uh…" Lu Wan turned his head to ask for help, but the others were already looking away. There was one big taboo word when talking to a woman. Never ever tell them that they're fat.
"Come over here, you scoundrel!"
"Heeeeeeeeellllllppppppp!"
Qi Huan sighed. "Let's go back first. I don't think Lu Wan will be able to pacify Senior Sister Lin's anger anytime soon."
"Sure," Ye Jiao agreed right away. She looked at Mu Xin. "Did you have fun, Xin Jie?"
Mu Xin smiled. "Yes."
"Let's go."
The four of them returned back to the gate. On the other hand, Lu Wan only returned back at night with his face swollen thanks to a certain senior.
