Inverse Sword Mad God

"Not necessarily, why rush? We’re only a third of the way through."

"Things are usually in the center; it’s still early."

"In the center, doesn’t that mean even if it’s a treasure, it’s very small?"

"Won’t be a loss, right?"

"What do you know!" someone sneered, "Treasures are not judged by their size."

"Which would you choose, a fingernail-sized Divine Crystal or a hundred pounds of common Crystal Stone?"

Upon hearing this, many fell silent.

Because even if it’s a fingernail-sized Divine Crystal, its value and energy definitely surpass common Crystal Stone.

Legend has it that Divine Crystals contain mysterious, unfathomable power.

The Green-robed Middle-aged Man naturally knew this, so even though a third of the stone was cut without any radiance, he remained calm.

His hand was very steady, slowly slicing off the stone skin.

But soon, the Green-robed Middle-aged Man began to sweat coldly, and his face turned very grim.

Because he had already cut halfway, yet still no radiance appeared.

This meant he might have misjudged, and the stone could be Waste Stone.

Not only him, but those around also started discussing.

"It’s halfway now, still no radiance. This must undoubtedly be Waste Stone."

Those who believed before also wavered because usually treasures are found in the center of the stone.

But now, having cut this far with no radiance, it indicates no treasure.

At this moment, they could no longer find a reason to think the front of the stone held treasure.

Lin Xuan remained impassive, knowing the stone definitely contained Crystal Stone, just that the other person was cutting in the wrong place.

But then another person spoke up.

An old man with graying hair, a hooked nose, and an overall cold aura.

He said solemnly, "Fellow Daoist, we’re halfway through, do you still want to continue cutting? If not, how about I offer thirty pounds of Crystal Stone for this stone?"

Hearing this, the crowd gasped, questioning why someone would buy what was now Waste Stone; was there something fishy about the stone?

For a moment, many were intrigued.

However, the gray-haired elder snorted coldly, unleashing a powerful aura that intimidated the crowd.

Sensing the terrifying aura, many shut their mouths.

The gray-haired elder then looked ahead, "So, what do you say?"

The Green-robed Middle-aged Man pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "No need, I’ll continue cutting."

Truthfully, he was confident in his Seeking Spirit Technique, clearly sensing large amounts of Spiritual Power within the stone.

There must be treasure, but why hadn’t it been cut out?

Moreover, only half was cut; he had seen before some treasures located beneath the stone.

Thus, until the very last moment, he’d neither give up nor concede.

Seeing his persistence, the gray-haired elder snorted coldly and withdrew into the crowd.

Then, the Green-robed Middle-aged Man swung his arm again,

The black Dagger seemed to transform into a Poison Snake, continuously flashing light, continuing to cut the stone.

Crack, crack!

Ultimately, the half-meter-high stone was cut into two halves, but no Crystal Stone appeared.

The surrounding crowd shook their heads and sighed.

After all, the stone cost 150 pounds of Crystal Stone, and nothing was cut out; naturally, it was a loss.

The gray-haired elder sneered with a hint of schadenfreude.

"Impossible, I sensed correctly!"

"There are definitely Crystal Stones inside!"

The Green-robed man refused to accept this, then swung the Dagger in his hand, releasing two black glows.

Like the Nether River, they slashed toward the stone, cutting the already halved stone into quarters.

Yet still, nothing appeared.

Upon seeing this, his face showed extreme displeasure.

He hadn’t expected his first attempt to be misjudged, not good news for him.

Solitary Old Monster breathed a sigh of relief because Lin Xuan wanted the stone initially, fortunately snatched away by someone else.

Otherwise, if Lin Xuan had bought it, he would’ve definitely wasted a hundred pounds of Crystal Stone.

The Dark Red Divine Dragon was also surprised, knowing Lin Xuan’s ability, shocked nothing was inside.

He then transmitted a question, "Kid, what’s going on, did you misjudge too?"

Lin Xuan shook his head slightly, "No misjudgment, there are definitely Crystal Stones inside, and in a fair amount."

"But he was cutting in the wrong place."

"The Crystal Stones are in the lower left corner and upper right corner, he hasn’t touched them."

"So that’s it."

The Dark Red Divine Dragon understood, realizing that the Green-robed Middle-aged Man was truly unlucky.

Then, Lin Xuan spoke up, saying casually, "Fellow Daoist, ten pounds of Crystal Stone for the cut Waste Stone, would you sell?"

"What, there’s still a bid?"

Everyone was stunned, showing disbelief.

"These are Waste Stones already, what’s below is even less valuable, how come someone would buy; did they have a screw loose?"

"Or too much money, no place to spend it."

"It’s him again, he wanted to buy this stone before but didn’t succeed."

"Now wanting the Waste Stone fragments, what’s he up to?"

"Who knows, probably a wealthy Second Generation, lots of Crystal Stones to spend freely!"

Voices echoed, but everyone thought Lin Xuan must be out of his mind to buy the cut Waste Stones.

Within the crowd, even the gray-haired elder sneered coldly.

Earlier he thought the stone might still hold Treasure, but now cut into halves, how could there still be a Treasure?

Now someone bidding truly wastes their Crystal Stones.

The Green-robed Middle-aged Man was surprised but agreed nonetheless. After all, recovering ten pounds of Crystal Stone meant a smaller loss.

Seeing his agreement, Lin Xuan disregarded others’ words and gave him ten pounds of Crystal Stone.

Then he swung his hand, collecting the four fragments from the ground.

"He really bought them!"

"Not possible, did he lose his mind?"

"Who knows, ignore that kid; probably reckless and clueless."

People shook their heads, shifting focus to other stones.

Lin Xuan, however, was very satisfied, thinking how foolishly they dared to mock him!

This time, he scored a huge gain.

From inside, the extracted Crystal Stone was around 150-160 pounds, hence why he would’ve bought it for a hundred pounds.

But not for 150 pounds; it wasn’t profitable enough.

Yet now, spending just ten pounds, he secured 150 pounds of Crystal stone.

Through this, he profited over 140 pounds of Crystal Stone for free!

This was no small sum, enough for him to cultivate for a while!
