Chapter 557 - Stunning the Crowd (1/2)

Each time the Starry River was activated, it would have three hundred real Starry Stones in it. Anyone planning to acquire them would have to rely on their capabilities.

Furthermore, to guarantee its fairness, everyone could only grab a hundred Starry Stones at a time from the river in a first-come-first-serve basis. Nobody was allowed to battle against each other to get the stones, as those who did so would be expelled from the Starry Pagoda.

“Mm?”

The experts in the pagoda were startled.

Why did the cultivator inside the ‘Left-Star’ superior room make his move when the Starry River had just appeared?

Before they could react, Qin Nan’s hand had accurately grabbed one hundred stones from the center of the river.

Crack.

At that instant, seventy of the stones cracked open, while the remaining thirty emitted a brilliant glow as if some sort of forbidding aura encapsulating the stones was removed, resulting in a blinding view.

“How is this possible!”

The experts in the Starry Pagoda stared with their eyes open wide.

Thirty Starry Stones?

Had he just grabbed thirty Starry Stones in one go?

Normally, it was impressive enough if one were able to grab ten Starry Stones in one go.

“My turn!”

The experts collected their thoughts and immediately grabbed the stones they had their eyes on from the Starry River.

“There!”

Qin Nan’s eyes swiftly locked onto a spot where no one was paying attention to. He reached out his hand and grabbed another handful of stones.

Crack.

The stones cracked open once again, and forty of them emitted a brilliant glow.

The crowd was stupefied seeing this, leaving blank expressions on their faces.

Forty!

It was forty Starry Stones this time!

How outstanding exactly was that guy’s eye-technique, allowing him to grab a fourth of the Starry Stones in just two attempts?

At that instant, the experts realized that this cultivator in the Left Star superior room possessed remarkable capabilities!

“That guy managed to grab more Starry Stones than his first attempt. Who could possess such a terrifying eye-technique among the older generation?”

Even Di Fengyun could not help but feel astonished seeing this.

Even with his White Tiger Illusion-Destroying Eyes, he had only managed to grab twenty Starry Stones in two attempts, three times less than the number of stones that the mysterious cultivator had grabbed.

However, while the crowd was immersed in astonishment, Qin Nan shook his head in disappointment.

He discovered another spot that contained forty real Starry Stones, but the experts were incredibly quick in grabbing the stones before he could react.

“Seventy of them is still not enough. I have to get more of them when the second river appears…”

Qin Nan mumbled to himself.

If the experts were to know his thoughts, they would most likely vomit blood on the spot. Many among them could not even obtain seventy Starry Stones after spending two days at the Starry Pagoda.

A brief while later, the Starry River slowly disappeared as the three hundred Starry Stones were taken by the crowd in the pagoda.

The place fell silent once again.

The Starry River would only activate three times a day, with an interval of one hour between each activation.

“Let’s see how fascinating these Starry Stones are!”

Qin Nan withdrew his thoughts and grabbed one of the Starry Stones and placed it on his palm before emptying his mind.

Following this, the stone emitted a gentle beam that flowed into Qin Nan’s body, causing his flesh to turn transparent as a mystical aura filled the place.

“This is great!”

Qin Nan became energetic.

In just a brief period, it felt like his comprehension had improved significantly, allowing him to solve many problems he had had in his mind.
