Chapter 29 – Sky-High Priced Ore
Towards Ji Fengyan's decision, even the shop's boss secretly shook his head.
This stone had been in his shop for already more then a year and no had offered a price for it at all. The reason for this was because the stone was too big, making it so that no one could judge the ore's properties. Su Lingsheng had looked it over before but in the end, she also couldn't tell what ore was inside this stone, leading to it being shelved here.
In other peoples' eyes, Ji Fengyan choosing this stone was simply making trouble.
Although…
Su Lingsheng was very happy about this. When Ji Fengyan finished her selection, Su Lingsheng then began to choose from amongst those stone. She had a natural uniquely keen perception towards them, thus the ones she chose was never wrong!
In the end, Su Lingsheng chose a stone the size of a palm, using a soft and delicate fingertip to lightly tap it and nonchalantly said, ”I'll choose this one.”
The shop's boss prudently stepped forward and marked the stone Su Lingsheng chose in red.
”Since you chose first, then according to custom, I'll open first.” Su Lingsheng stated.
Ji Fengyan shrugged her shoulders to show that she didn't mind.
Immediately, the shop's boss arranged for someone to open the stone Su Lingsheng chose. As the stone wasn't that big and after being carved for a while, the corner of a dark gold ore quickly revealed itself before everyone.
The instant that ore was revealed, the entire store went into an uproar!
”Exquisite Gold Ore! ****! An Exquisite Gold Ore was actually opened!”
”My heavens, it's been years since I last saw an Exquisite Gold Ore!”
The entire store turned cacophonous. No one would have thought that the stone that Su Lingsheng opened was an Exquisite Gold Ore!
Amongst the rare ores, Exquisite Gold Ore belonged to that of the highest grade. Throughout the entire empire, the annual output of Exquisite Gold Ore was at most half a cart big with the majority of that being supplied to members of the Imperial Family. Normally, if the market had one or two pieces of Exquisite Gold Ore flow into it, then the price it would sell for was astronomical!
