C174 (1/2)

Chapter 174: Is there something wrong with this kid!

On the left side of the hut, the stone opening point had already been surrounded by many Martial Warriors s. From the crowd, a long line of people stretched out.

After handing over the three golden notes that were worth five hundred gold coins, Tang Huan stood at the back of the convoy with the purchase certificate. The five Ancient Origin Stones were all in a cloth bag gifted to him by a Divine Armament building, which Mu Yan carried.

At this time, there were still approximately forty to fifty people in front of Tang Huan.

It was reasonable for such a situation to occur. The glue on the surface of the Ancient Ore was not something that could be easily cut, it required a special Heavenly Grade Armament, and the power of a Heavenly Grade Armament was not something that any Martial Warriors could unleash, it had to be at least at the eighth stage of Martial Lord.

Rankers like Martial Lord of the eighth step, were not like Stage Five Martial Master, who could easily find thousands of them.

However, even though there was only one Martial Lord of the eighth step in charge of opening stones, their speed was still extremely fast. Not long after, Tang Huan had lost about ten people, and this group had not shortened, but instead grew even longer.

When Tang Huan turned his head back, he was even able to see the Black Costume Brawny Man and the yellow-clothed youth in the lower tier who were also picking ores. Only when he noticed Tang Huan's gaze, Black Costume Brawny Man's expression became somewhat strange, as though he was ridiculing him, but at the same time, feeling pity for him.

Tang Huan thought for a bit, and then guessed what the fellow was thinking. He smiled slightly, and turned his gaze back ahead.

At the end of the line, one could vaguely see a green-robed elderly man sitting cross-legged in front of a low table. The Heavenly Grade Armament in his hands seemed to be a dagger, and a white light was faintly discernable.

The indescribably excited laughter and the cries of the surrounding Martial Warriors occasionally stirred the void. Everyone in the room understood what this signified. Since there were people who succeeded, there were naturally people who failed as well. Martial Warriors came out of the crowd continuously with depressed and frustrated expressions on their faces.

Not even fifteen minutes later, only a young man remained in front of Tang Huan.

When that guy handed over the Primordial Ore in his hand, his hands were trembling a little. Tang Huan observed carefully and discovered that the surface of the ore was dotted with irregular red lines.

”Tsk tsk, the upper grade region's ancient essence stones, every single one of them is worth 50,000 gold coins.”

”For such a pattern to appear after being unraveled, it must be a gem of the fire attribute.”

”You're right. However, fire gems are also divided into ranks.” It could be a low-grade gem, 'Flaming Cloud Stone'. It could be a mid-grade gem, 'Heart Flame Stone'. It could also be a high-grade gem, 'Crimson Sun Stone' … Although this ore has deep markings, it is fragmented and incoherent. It is extremely likely for a low-grade gem like the 'Flamecloud gem' to appear. ”

”I think so too.”

”...”

In the surrounding crowd, Martial Warriors began to whisper to one another. Hearing these voices, the young man's face turned pale.

”Swish …”

In the next moment, the thin sound of breaking through the air was dragged out like a thread. The old man waved the dagger in his hand without the slightest pause.

In Tang Huan's line of sight, the ore in the old man's palm tumbled, a white light rapidly flickered near the surface of the ore, and the fragments of the stone flew around, causing him to be dazzled. He could not pinpoint the trajectory of the dagger at all, but he could clearly feel the sharp intent it emitted.

Tang Huan could faintly understand in his heart that the old man must have tried his best to restrain himself. Otherwise, when he brandished the dagger, there would not be many people around him that could get within a few metres.

”Chi!”

After another slash, a red light appeared in the old man's palm. At the same time, a very strong heat was emitted.

In that instant, the surroundings immediately quieted down. Soon, cries of alarm arose from the crowd.
