Chapter 1929 - 1926: Agitated!
"This is a Fire Cloud Crystal Stone!"
An elder exclaimed, his expression extremely excited.
He was an elder of a great sect, knowledgeable and experienced, naturally recognizing this crystal stone that resembled a blazing cloud.
Seeing some confusion, the elder explained that apart from ordinary crystal stones, top-grade sub-divine crystals, and divine crystals, there is also a very special type of crystal stone known as an Alien Crystal Stone.
Although their value is not as high as true divine crystals, they are indeed much better than top-grade sub-divine crystals.
Moreover, this Fire Cloud Crystal Stone contains pure Fire Attribute energy. If a Fire Element King were to obtain it, it would definitely make cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.
"What, this is an Alien Crystal Stone exceeding top-grade sub-divine crystals!" The crowd exclaimed in surprise, each one staring wide-eyed.
They didn’t expect that by casually selecting two Hollow Stones, one would cut out such an Alien Crystal Stone!
The Dark Red Divine Dragon also paused in cutting stones, then chuckled, "Who dares to say we’re relying on luck now?"
Hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Once could be luck, twice could be luck, but what about three times?
Luck couldn’t always be this good, and this time it was an Alien Crystal Stone!
This indicates that this young man before them has a powerful Seeking Spirit Technique; otherwise, he couldn’t have been this impressive.
The Green-robed Middle-aged Man, on the other hand, went completely insane.
In a frenzy, he shouted, "Impossible, damn it, how could he be so powerful!"
By the end, he was disheveled and ran madly outside.
Clearly, he was driven insane by the scene in front of him.
Just then, the elder who had previously explained smiled and said.
"Young Master, could we make a trade? You have already cut out the Fire Cloud Alien Crystal Stone, though the size is still uncertain."
"How about this: I’ll buy this Fire Cloud Crystal Stone for one thousand jin of crystal stones."
"What, one thousand jin of crystal stones!"
The crowd inhaled sharply, clearly stunned by the sky-high price.
Dugu Old Monster also shook his hand, nearly dropping the purple dagger he held.
He didn’t expect that the stone he cut could actually be worth one thousand jin of crystal stones.
Considering his strength is formidable but he is nonetheless an Independent Practitioner, although he has a few thousand jin of crystal stones at hand, he wouldn’t dare spend them like that!
"Alright!"
Lin Xuan nodded without hesitation.
Because he had already seen through the Heavenly Mechanism Divine Pupil that even if the Alien Fire Cloud Stone were cut out, the final price would be around one thousand jin of crystal stones.
Moreover, selling it now has the advantage of increasing his air of mystery and elevating his status.
This would make people more confident that he is a powerful Spirit Seeking Master.
Therefore, Lin Xuan didn’t hesitate and directly made the trade with the other party.
With one thousand jin of crystal stones in hand, Lin Xuan stored them in the Black Soil.
Meanwhile, the elder waved his hand, collecting the Alien Fire Cloud Stone, and then left.
The crowd gazed at this scene in shock.
Then, they began discussing frantically.
In the next moment, they turned their gaze toward the stones beside the Dark Red Divine Dragon, for they too wanted to know if this Hollow Stone would reveal a treasure.
Feeling the weight of so many eyes, the Dark Red Divine Dragon felt pressured.
He asked through transmitted voices, "Kid, tell me the truth; does this stone of mine have any treasure inside? Otherwise, I’m anxious."
Lin Xuan smiled in response, "Rest assured, there is treasure, and its value is not lower than the previous Alien Fire Cloud Stone."
Hearing this, the Dark Red Divine Dragon let out a sigh of relief, and soon, he spat out strands of red lightning to start cutting the stone.
Crackle!
The brilliant lights shone; the momentum was awe-inspiring. However, the control of the Dark Red Divine Dragon was very precise, not damaging anything inside.
The stone skin quickly fell away.
While the crowd held their breath, extremely tense. They now had eighty percent confidence, believing there was treasure inside as well.
Buzz!
At this moment, a water-blue light emerged, forming a river in the sky that made roaring sounds.
"It appeared, it appeared, there really is treasure!"
Moreover, this kind of vision should also not be a common crystal stone.
The crowd exclaimed, undulating with excitement.
The Dark Red Divine Dragon continued to split out lightning, and then, the crystal stone inside grew larger, exposed to the crowd.
Once again, it wasn’t completely cut out; only one crystal face was revealed.
The crystal stone appeared water-blue, as if it were an ocean and a starry sky, deep beyond measure.
The crowd gazed at the water-blue stone, extremely shocked.
Drawing from previous experience, they now understood this piece should also be an Alien Crystal Stone, and by the looks of it, it belongs to the Water Element type.
Its value is definitely not lower than the previous Fire Cloud Crystal Stone.
"Young Master, don’t cut anymore. I am willing to pay eight hundred jin of crystal stones." someone said firmly.
"Eight hundred jin is nothing; I offer one thousand jin of crystal stones!" Another man in purple clothing declared loudly.
"I offer 1,100 jin of crystal stones." said a middle-aged woman.
The crowd was astonished and completely stunned.
No one expected this stone to also have such a high price, truly beyond belief.
In the end, this Water Element Alien Crystal Stone sold for 1,300 jin of crystal stones, purchased by that middle-aged woman.
In a matter of moments, Lin Xuan amassed over two thousand jin of crystal stones in his hands; such speed of gaining wealth made everyone green with envy.
And Lin Xuan’s reputation quickly spread.
Before long, most people knew about such a young and immensely powerful Spirit Seeking Master.
"Young Master, you are so strong, why not go inside and take a look? Legend has it there are strange stones dug from the edge of the Taichu Ancient Mine."
"What, there are stones like that!"
Lin Xuan was moved upon hearing this.
The Taichu Ancient Mine was a Life Forbidden Zone. Legend had it that even the Holy Land Master dared not enter.
Such a Life Forbidden Zone was truly fearsome beyond compare.
But after making inquiries, Lin Xuan understood.
These strange stones were not from the Taichu Ancient Mine itself but were dug from the surrounding mines.
Due to their proximity to the Taichu Ancient Mine, they carried infinite mystery.
Truth be told, Lin Xuan was very curious about such stones. Hence, he walked toward Hualong Lake.
Inside, there were even more people, a sea of humanity, almost too crowded to move.
Everyone was there to observe those strange stones, as they couldn’t be seen normally; only this time they could view them up close.
Leveraging his newly gained prestige from cutting stones, everyone made way, allowing him to easily reach the front.
He found there weren’t many stones ahead, only a few dozen pieces.
The number of stones was less than those on the stall outside. But no one dared to underestimate them.
Because these stones were sourced from the edge of the Taichu Ancient Mine.
Mysterious beyond measure, deeply foreboding.
