581 Peculiar Ancient Stones (2/2)
”Yes! I will just buy a few stones later. But you must give me ten ancient stones for free as you have promised!”
”Of course!” The Elder from the Jiang Family smiled. Then he looked at the rest of people and said, ”If you all don't mind, why not let this young man choose ten ancient stones first?”
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
After all, compared with the huge amount of ancient stones lying on the ground, ten ancient stones was nothing. Besides, they all believed Xu Que couldn't possibly pick out a good one, since stone-cutting relied not only on luck, but experience.
Then, the Elder from the Jiang Family looked at Xu Que and said, ”Young man, please!”
”Great!” Xu Que answered, and he jumped into the center of the yard.
The servants had already laid out many stones on the ground. Each of them had a very strange form. For example, one was as small as a ball, one was bigger than a man, and so on. Also, all the stones were simultaneously giving out a strange energy.
”This is quite something!” Xu Que exclaimed. Standing in front of the pile of ancient stones, he felt as if he were standing in a dead land and felt rather uncomfortable.
Xu Que summoned the System and took the X-ray machine out of it. He held it and started to scan the ancient stones.
Seeing this, everyone frowned.
”What is he doing?!”
”What is the thing in his palm? I don't think it's a magic object, and why on earth it is giving out a red light?”
”He is just putting on a show! Stone-cutting requires good eyes and experience. Does he really think he can see through the stone with that object?”
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
”Haha!”
”Ha!”
”Hahaha!”
In fact, with the help of the X-ray machine, Xu Que indeed saw through the stone.
The X-ray perspective machine projected the image of the inside of the stone onto the screen of the System, and Xu Que saw it.
However, Xu Que was shocked by what he saw: most of the ancient stones were just crap, and there was simply nothing inside. He also spot a stone in which there was a Elder's head. The Elder's eyes were closed tightly. It seemed that he had died a long time ago, but the skin and flesh on his head were still intact.
”Crikey! This is really terrifying!”
Xu Que was not that surprised by this scene, since in the Cultivation World, strange things happened everyday.
Xu Que then continue to examine other stones.
After a short while, he found a stone in which there was a piece of Dragon Soul Element. This made Xu Que rather excited.
After careful examination, Xu Que found that there were exactly twenty stones in which there were treasures, and including the one in which there was an Elder's head and the one in which there was a piece of Dragon Soul Element, there were twenty-two good stones. The rest were all crap!
”I have made up my mind! I want ten of these and twelve more of those . . . ” Xu Que spoke after picking up the ten stones and pointing to the other twelve.
