Chapter 1171 - 1168: Earth Core Fire Source
A series of exclamations came from the crowd.
Zhang Guoyu and the others couldn’t squeeze in, they were itching to know more, and hearing the exclamations from inside, Zhang Guoyu couldn’t help but take a deep breath and said, "Top-grade Water Source Seed?"
Zhang Guoguo asked, "Brother, what is a Water Source Seed?"
A Blue-robed Student explained, "It’s a very special Yin-Yang Stone. It possesses Water Source energy. Yin-Yang Practitioners who practice secret techniques related to water view it as a treasure. Moreover, when made into an amulet worn on the body, it can repel water, making it impossible for formidable water ghosts to get close—essentially it acts as a protective amulet."
Zhang Guoguo was also stunned. How much would this be worth?
Mu Yun was also shocked, saying, "Geez! What kind of luck is this? The Water Source Seed has been cut from the stone."
A Blue-robed Student couldn’t help but itch with anticipation and said, "I really want to go in and see; I haven’t seen a top-grade Water Source Seed before."
Soon, the inside became a heated scene.
"I’ll bid eight hundred million."
"I’ll bid eight hundred and fifty million."
At this time, a middle-aged man hurriedly said, "Everyone, my Longteng Stone Workshop bids a billion to purchase it."
The Stone Workshop from his home was also vying for the Water Source Seed.
Chu Hao thought a billion was about right; after the entire stone had been cut, with a bid of a billion, no one bid higher, thus it was sold.
The middle-aged man gave Chu Hao a card and said, "Young brother, I’m Pan Chen, the person in charge of Longteng Stone Workshop here."
Chu Hao accepted the card and nodded slightly, saying nothing more, "Next one."
Another stone was dragged away for cutting.
Zhang Guoguo excitedly said, "Amazing, the first stone already recouped all the previous purchases."
Zhang Guoyu was still dissatisfied, saying, "It’s definitely because of good luck; the next stone might not be the same."
Zhang Guoguo smiled with crescent-shaped eyes and showed her cute little tiger tooth, saying, "Brother, why don’t we make a bet? If I win, let me play with Expert Brother in the future; if I lose, I’ll stay far away from Expert Brother."
Zhang Guoyu said, "Bet it is."
Just as the words fell, exclamations erupted from the crowd again, "Holy cow! Another rise."
Zhang Guoguo excitedly exclaimed, "Yay! I won."
Zhang Guoyu took a deep breath, how could it be?
A Blue-robed Student, shocked, exclaimed, "We must have encountered an expert."
Mu Yun shouted in surprise, "Not just an expert! This is going against the heavens; can stone gambling really be like this?"
Exclamations from the crowd said, "Fluorescent effusion, cold aura, seems like it’s a top-grade Ice Crystal Seed."
"Awesome."
"Today we met the god of gambling, right? Two stone materials successively produced stone seeds."
Pan Chen hurriedly said, "Young brother, I bid ten billion for it."
A group of old fellows was unsatisfied, saying, "What do you mean, won’t give us old folks a chance?"
Pan Chen laughed dryly.
An elder reminded, "Young man, although this material has cut a top-grade Ice Crystal, it’s estimated to be worth ten billion."
Chu Hao was feeling a bit hot from the crowd; he shook his head and said, "I have a hunch that it can still rise, continue cutting."
A group of people’s eyelids twitched wildly.
Pan Chen was also shocked. They were all seasoned stone gamblers and couldn’t figure out where this top-grade Ice Crystal could rise any further.
An elder said, "I estimate this top-grade Ice Crystal is just about the size of a fist."
"What if it fails in the gamble?"
The cutter shifted positions and made another cut.
Surprisingly, the outline of the top-grade Ice Crystal was seen again, definitely not just fist-sized.
"It’s damn grown again."
"Amazing, young man, reincarnation of the god of gambling."
"Amazing, almost sold at a ten billion loss."
"The key is, he knew this stone could still rise, truly met the god of gambling; generally who has such courage."
Finally, a whole piece of top-grade Ice Crystal Stone Seed was cut out, about two fists in size, emitting a chilling aura. This thing is worth a fortune.
Pan Chen was heartbroken, these stones were all from their gambling house, this guy was too incredible, two stones in succession producing stone material.
Pan Chen immediately said, "I bid eighteen billion."
Pan Chen hurriedly added, "Eighteen billion is already very high, sell it to me, no one else will offer a higher price."
Sure enough, no one offered a price higher than eighteen billion.
Eighteen billion was transferred to Pan Chen.
With two stone cuts, twenty-eight billion Shanhai Currency has been earned; the merchants might be coughing blood at this point, judging by Pan Chen’s complexion.
There are still two stones, one costing one billion three hundred million, the other five billion two hundred million.
Chu Hao started with the one billion three hundred million one.
Many people were nervous; if this one also cuts out a Yin Yang Stone Seed, that would be truly against the heavens.
Three stone materials in succession, too impressive to have any friends.
The cutter moved the knife, one slice and nothing; Pan Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
In his heart he thought, "If truly cut out three, it’s not just luck anymore; this person is definitely a stone gambling expert, hopefully not."
A change of side, another slice.
Suddenly, a steaming hot stream flowed from the stone material, causing the cutter to gasp and hurriedly back away.
The scorching air flow was like the heat from a volcanic eruption, everyone retreated.
"What’s going on!" everyone exclaimed.
An elderly man, seemingly sixty years old, hurriedly said, "Quick, bring the Ice Crystal Seed forward for a look."
Pan Chen responded, bringing the Ice Crystal Seed forward; the cold stream countered the hot stream, finally no longer scorching, and people saw that under the stone skin was a crimson stone seed, emanating hot aura.
"Top-grade Fire Source Seed," an elder exclaimed.
"What! Top-grade Fire Source Seed is really like this; this heat stream is too terrifying."
"No, I’ve seen Top-grade Fire Source Seed before, but never like this one. How much energy is it hiding?"
The cutter was experienced and slowly sliced open the stone skin, finally seeing a crimson stone seed, within which flowed a stream of red energy.
This energy, like a flame.
The elder, seemingly sixty, exclaimed, "Earth Core Fire Source?"
An elder promptly asked, "Old Guo, what is the Earth Core Fire Source?"
Old Guo seemed to be of high standing among the crowd, he said, "A kind of Earth’s vein fire source, its value is inestimable. In some ancient traditions, such as the renowned Nine Lotus Fire Source Technique, Dharma Fire Source Technique, etc., Mysterious High-level Yin-Yang Techniques, rely on it for practice."
Mysterious High-level Yin-Yang Techniques?
Using it for practice?
What level is this Mysterious High-level Yin-Yang Technique, practicing with this thing, it’s like going against the heavens.
Old Guo nodded, "Indeed, some large Yin-Yang sect traditions, since they couldn’t find Earth Core Fire Source, couldn’t practice special Mysterious High-level Yin-Yang Techniques. If they have it, it would be different."
Pan Chen was shocked; well, then the price of this stone seed is probably incalculable.
At this time, Chu Hao spoke up, "Place your bids."
A weak voice said, "Ten billion!"
Old Guo laughed scoldingly, "Ten billion? Are you kidding with a child, this thing is priceless."
Chu Hao saw no one placing bids and asked, "Old Guo, what’s your estimate? What’s it worth?"
Old Guo said, "At least thirty billion; not many people present can afford it."
Pan Chen hurriedly said, "Young friend, I bid thirty billion."
Chu Hao chuckled, "At least thirty billion, you bid me the minimum price?"
Pan Chen also felt it was a bit excessive.
