Chapter 172 - Ancient Source Stones
Within the Dragon Spring Town, there were four families of the Gem Store.
Three of them were opened by the three major merchant guilds, Galaxy, Ling Yu and Liuhua, while the fourth belonged to the Divine Weapon Pavilion. The name of the Gem Store was very similar to that of the Divine Weapon Pavilion, directly called Divine Armament Tower.
The Divine Armament was three stories tall and located in the north of the Dragon Spring Town. It wasn't the largest among the four Gem Store s, but it definitely had the largest amount of Primordial Ore in its possession.
The biggest reason was that the Divine Weapon Pavilion had an enormous vein in the Sword Crafting Valley region, which could provide an unending stream of primeval stones.
Because of this, Martial Warriors s who participated in the stone gambling were the most common.
Almost every morning, there would be hundreds of fanatical stone gamblers gathered outside. When Divine Armament opened the door, they would rush in excitedly.
However, the number of Martial Warriors s gathered outside the Divine Armament building had increased by several folds.
"So many people?"
When Tang Huan and Mu Yan rushed to the exit of the Divine Armament, what they saw was a scene of one shoulder rubbing against one's shoulder and one head moving.
The two of them had undergone a huge change. Tang Huan's face was a sallow yellow, and she looked like she had just recovered from a long illness. Mu Yan's beautiful jade like face had also become normal, this was the result of her smearing the medicine.
After Tang Huan saw his new face, he was greatly impressed by Mu Yan's methods.
Mu Yan, this follower, was simply too worth it. She was proficient in poisons, and naturally knew of other medicines. To her, concocting a medicine to change her appearance was as easy as flipping her palm. Of course, this potion wouldn't last long. At most one day, it would lose its effect.
However, for Tang Huan, one day was enough.
Furthermore, Tang Huan was still holding onto Feng Ming, so they looked like a young couple with a daughter. Who would link them with Tang Huan, who was ranked first or third in the Phoenix Spirit Martial Meeting?
"It's still not enough."
Hearing Tang Huan's words, one of the middle aged man by the side laughed, "Let's wait and see, there will definitely be more people rushing over later."
"Why is that?" Mu Yan asked doubtfully.
"You don't know?" The middle-aged man glanced at Tang Huan and Mu Yan in surprise, seeing their blank expressions, he explained while smiling, "Yesterday evening, Divine Armament just arrived at the new batch of Ancient Ore Stones. It was said that there were tens of thousands of them. "For an ancient ore like this one that hasn't been picked out yet, the chances of having the gem drop is the highest. Otherwise, why would so many people come here and try their luck?"
"Eh, why is that guy also here?"
With that, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up and he squeezed forward as if he had found someone familiar.
Tang Huan and Mu Yan heard and looked at each other. To others, this was indeed a good opportunity to test their luck, but to Tang Huan, it was not necessarily a good thing. Tens of thousands of primeval stones might seem like a lot, but with so many people coming, on average, not many people could get a share.
If Tang Huan had enough gold, he could just go in and pick out a large amount of primeval stones and buy them first. But what he lacked the most right now was gold coins.
Currently, he only had three gold notes on him, two of them were for two hundred gold, one for a hundred gold. In total, he only had five hundred gold.
This was all from when Tang Huan left the Phoenix Lair's cave passage, and on a whim, he had searched Hu Sen and Zhong Kang's body. According to Mu Yan, 500 gold coins was only enough to buy a few of the worst quality ancient ores, while the best quality ancient stones cost several thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins per stone.
"We'll see. If we don't find the 'Heavenly Wood Stone' here, then we'll think of another way."
Tang Huan frowned slightly, his mind raced, but he looked around him. Right now, there were already two to three thousand people gathered, and, the middle-aged man was not wrong at all. The Dragon Spring Town was indeed still continuously heading towards the Divine Armament.
"F * ck! Tens of thousands of ancient raw stones, this father will definitely take one or two of them this time!"
"Hey, don't blow the whistle. If I remember correctly, you have spent over a hundred thousand gold coins in here. Do you think you can sell them for ten thousand gold coins if you put them all together?"
"Scram, brat, don't talk about this in front of me, it's bad luck!"
"Haha, Divine Armament Tower's ancient essence stones have finally arrived. If I didn't wait for this batch of ancient essence stones, I would have returned to Glory Continent a long time ago."
"Rumor has it that the ancient raw stones that the Divine Armament Tower brought over this time could be considered the best in recent years."
"Where did you hear this from? Is it accurate?"
"..."
Everyone was either whispering or talking loudly. The clamor was rising and falling one after another.
Many Martial Warriors s' eyes flashed with excitement and anticipation. There were even some Martial Warriors s whose faces were filled with impatience, wishing that they could immediately charge into the Divine Armament's tower.
"Creak!"
Just as everyone was looking forward to it, the door of Divine Armament finally opened.
Tang Huan and Mu Yan were squeezed by the Martial Warriors behind them, and could not help but move forward.
Not long later, the two of them passed through the lobby of Divine Armament's first floor and entered a hut connected to it. This hut was about four meters tall, with length and width of several hundred meters, making it extremely vast, and around the shed, there were many tall walls. If one wanted to enter, they could only enter through Divine Weapon Pavilion.
With a single glance, Tang Huan saw the situation inside.
The shed was divided into six areas, and each area had a signboard. He entered the shack. There was a stone area on the left hand side and a toll area on the right hand side. In front of him were ancient ores. They were divided into four areas according to their quality: lower, middle, upper and top quality.
Most of the Martial Warriors who entered the shack rushed towards the middle and upper grade raw stone areas. Only a few of them went to the top grade raw stone area while only a few dozen people ran towards the lower grade raw stone area.
Tang Huan and Mu Yan looked at each other, and almost at the same time, walked towards the low grade ore region on the right side.
It wasn't that Tang Huan didn't want to see the middle grade, high grade, and even the top grade Ancient Source Stones, but he felt that his money was thin and he could only go to the low grade primeval stones area to take a look. Those three areas did not have tens of thousands of gold coins on them, so it was best not to go there.
Each ore was as big as a sea bowl. It was dark and there were no colors on it. Its surface was smooth, but it was bumpy and had an irregular round shape.
In this area, there were at least tens of thousands of primeval stones placed together for others to choose from. Some of the ancient ores were bright. It was obvious that they had just been transferred here. However, most of the ancient stones were dim and did not shine. One look was enough to tell that they had been here for quite some time.
The dozen or so Martial Warriors s that came in front of Tang Huan and the others had already scattered in all directions.
They were obviously the same as Tang Huan, not too much gold. They came here to try their luck. However, most of their attention was focused on those newly arrived, fresh ancient ores. As for those ancient ores that had existed for a long time, their gazes swept past.
The third one is in the afternoon. Now, this chapter has been written for more than four hours, if I were to tell others, no one would believe me. In the end, everyone still had their own monthly tickets. 0^
