Even the store owner shook his head as he heard Ji Fengyan’s choice.
This piece of rock had been kept in the store for half a year and all along, no one gave a price because its size was too huge and its properties could not be determined. Initially when this piece of rock was first sold in the store, Su Lingsheng had come before but even she was unable to tell the stone’s properties, causing the stone to be left in the store for all this time.
Ji Fengyan’s decision to pick this stone, to others, was practically a joke.
However, Su Lingsheng was very pleased with this outcome. After Ji Fengyan had made her choice, she also started choosing among the other stones. She was born with an extraordinary sensitivity towards ores, so she was certain that her choice would never be wrong.
Finally, Su Lingsheng picked a palm sized stone and lightly tapped that piece of stone using her fair and delicate finger, casually saying, “I shall choose this piece.”
The store owner immediately approached the stone and eagerly stuck a red label on the stone chosen by Su Lingsheng.
“Since you have chosen first, then according to the rules, I shall open mine first,” Su Lingsheng said.
Ji Fengyan shrugged her shoulders to express her indifference.
Instantly, the store owner arranged someone to open Su Lingsheng’s stone. Su Lingsheng’s stone was not big, under continuous grinding, a corner of a dull gold ore was quickly revealed.
Almost at that instant when the ore was revealed, the entire store started bustling!
“Gold plated ore! Dang it! It was actually a gold plated ore!”
“Oh my G.o.d, it’s been so many years since I have seen a gold plated ore!”
The entire store bustled, no one had expected that Su Lingsheng’s piece of stone would in fact be a gold plated ore!
A gold plated ore was of supreme-grade among all the rare ores. In the entire capital, the production amount of this ore was at most half a cart every year, and they were mostly supplied to the royal family. If one or two pieces of this ore was found on the normal marketplace, it would also have a sky-high price!
