C175 (1/2)
Madam, we're rich!
”Chi!”
The old man's dagger in his hand began to dance rapidly once more, and the fragments of the stone fragments began to pile up higher and higher. The ancient ore in his palm became smaller and smaller, and in the time it took for ten breaths, it was only the size of an egg.
Crack! The dagger slashed across the ore once again, but the sound it produced suddenly changed slightly.
The old man didn't stop. The sharp dagger was still dancing in the air like a fairy jumping from one finger to the other, leaving behind a series of afterimages.
After a moment, the sound of the blade and ore grinding against each other came to a screeching halt. The green-robed elder's movements finally came to a halt.
Then, a walnut-sized stone appeared in the elder's left palm. It looked like a goose egg, and it was grayish without any light.
”An ordinary stone!” ”Haha, it's true!”
”I knew it. How could such an ancient ore open a gem?”
”Has this kid gone silly?”
”...”
Laughter once again rang out, and when everyone looked at Tang Huan and Mu Yan, the teasing and ridiculing intent became even more intense.
”Little Lin, did you see that?”
Behind the group behind Tang Huan and the other ten people, the Black Costume Brawny Man curled his lips in disdain, with a ”I knew it would be like this” expression, ”That kind of Primordial Ore that has been here for many years, absolutely do not choose it. If you want to choose, pick a new one that hasn't been there for a long time.
”Oh, Third Uncle, I understand.”
The yellow-clothed youth nodded his head with an unconvinced expression, but he didn't argue.
At this time, when Tang Huan saw the small stone, he patted his forehead in annoyance and sighed. Then, he looked at Mu Yan who was beside him.
”Chi!”
The expression of the old man in green robe didn't change. He threw that small stone away and grabbed the other ancient ore. His hands moved as fast as lightning, and in a blink of an eye, the ore was surrounded by criss-crossing white light.
Another ten breaths of time passed. Another gray stone appeared in the green-robed elder's left palm. It was only twice the size of the previous stone.
”Look, look, it's still useless!”
”I really don't know what they are thinking. Even if they were to randomly choose a few ancient ores that they sent over last night, they wouldn't be as good as these old stones.”
”If nothing unexpected happens, the five ores they bought should be useless stones.”
”...”
The surrounding Martial Warriors were muttering, with an expression that was as expected.
Seeing this scene, Tang Huan and Mu Yan's expressions became even uglier, but none of them noticed the crafty smile that flashed past Tang Huan's eyes.
A moment later, the old man grabbed the third ancient ore under the crowd's gaze.
The dagger shone with a white light, as if it was always moving close to the ore.
”AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”
At the ore in the old man's left hand, there was a flash of blue light. However, the old man was too fast for everyone to see, but after a short moment, the blue light became even more obvious, causing everyone to be unable to hold it in any longer.
”Am I seeing things? Is there a gem hidden inside?”
”This is a water attribute gem?”
”Hiss, what kind of luck does this brat have? He was able to pick out an ancient ore with gems inside. Judging from the appearance of this ancient ore, it must have been here for quite some time.”
”...”
Astonishment voices sounded from time to time in the crowd.
”Third Uncle, look! A gem has dropped!” In the group, the yellow-clothed youth was a bit excited and couldn't help but pull at the clothes of the strong man beside him.
