Chapter 172 - Ancient Source Stones
Within the Dragon Spring Town, there were four families of the Gem Store.
Three of them were opened by the three major merchant guilds, Galaxy, Ling Yu and Liuhua, while the fourth belonged to the Divine Weapon Pavilion. The name of the Gem Store was very similar to that of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, directly called Divine Armament Tower.
The Divine Armament was three stories tall and located in the north of the Dragon Spring Town. It wasn't the largest among the four Gem Store s, but it definitely had the largest amount of Primordial Ore in its possession.
The biggest reason was that the Divine Weapon Pavilion had an enormous vein in the Sword Crafting Valley region, which could provide an unending stream of primeval stones.
Because of this, Martial Warriors s who participated in the stone gambling were the most common.
Almost every morning, there would be hundreds of fanatical stone gamblers gathered outside. When Divine Armament opened the door, they would rush in excitedly.
However, the number of Martial Warriors s gathered outside the Divine Armament building had increased by several folds.
”So many people?”
When Tang Huan and Mu Yan rushed to the exit of the Divine Armament, what they saw was a scene of one shoulder rubbing against one's shoulder and one head moving.
The two of them had undergone a huge change. Tang Huan's face was a sallow yellow, and she looked like she had just recovered from a long illness. Mu Yan's beautiful jade like face had also become normal, this was the result of her smearing the medicine.
After Tang Huan saw his new face, he was greatly impressed by Mu Yan's methods.
Mu Yan, this follower, was simply too worth it. She was proficient in poisons, and naturally knew of other medicines. To her, concocting a medicine to change her appearance was as easy as flipping her palm. Of course, this potion wouldn't last long. At most one day, it would lose its effect.
However, for Tang Huan, one day was enough.
Furthermore, Tang Huan was still holding onto Feng Ming, so they looked like a young couple with a daughter. Who would link them with Tang Huan, who was ranked first or third in the Phoenix Spirit Martial Meeting?
”It's still not enough.”
Hearing Tang Huan's words, one of the middle aged man by the side laughed, ”Let's wait and see, there will definitely be more people rushing over later.”
”Why is that?” Mu Yan asked doubtfully.
”You don't know?” The middle-aged man glanced at Tang Huan and Mu Yan in surprise, seeing their blank expressions, he explained while smiling, ”Yesterday evening, Divine Armament just arrived at the new batch of Ancient Ore Stones. It was said that there were tens of thousands of them. ”For an ancient ore like this one that hasn't been picked out yet, the chances of having the gem drop is the highest. Otherwise, why would so many people come here and try their luck?”
”Eh, why is that guy also here?”
With that, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up and he squeezed forward as if he had found someone familiar.
Tang Huan and Mu Yan heard and looked at each other. To others, this was indeed a good opportunity to test their luck, but to Tang Huan, it was not necessarily a good thing. Tens of thousands of primeval stones might seem like a lot, but with so many people coming, on average, not many people could get a share.
If Tang Huan had enough gold, he could just go in and pick out a large amount of primeval stones and buy them first. But what he lacked the most right now was gold coins.
Currently, he only had three gold notes on him, two of them were for two hundred gold, one for a hundred gold. In total, he only had five hundred gold.
This was all from when Tang Huan left the Phoenix Lair's cave passage, and on a whim, he had searched Hu Sen and Zhong Kang's body. According to Mu Yan, 500 gold coins was only enough to buy a few of the worst quality ancient ores, while the best quality ancient stones cost several thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins per stone.
