Chapter 173 - Selection
After a moment, Tang Huan picked up a stone from the mountain-like pile. It was cool to the touch, but it was still rather heavy.
Tang Huan's thoughts moved slightly, and he subconsciously activated a strand of Genuine Qi, but just as Mu Yan had said, when that strand of Genuine Qi flowed out from his palm and entered the inside of the Ancient Ore Stone, it was immediately like touching a firm wall, unable to penetrate at all.
To discover the hidden gems in this way was like a fantasy.
Experienced Martial Warriors s usually choose the primeval stones through the runes and marks on the surface. However, that kind of experience would at the very least have to be a medium-grade ancient ore. There were no traces or traces on the surface of these low-grade ores.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been selected and stocked up here, and would only be sold for a hundred gold coins each.
Generally speaking, this kind of ancient ore was the hardest to find and the most unpopular one. Even if someone was lucky enough to find a gem, they would usually find it to be a low-grade gem. After cutting it open, the chances of finding high-grade gems and mid-grade gems were very low.
Throwing the ore back to its original place, Tang Huan carried Feng Ming and slowly walked among the piles of Ancient Ore Stones, like a beautiful woman.
Previous Chapter Next Chapter "Boom!"
Not long after, there was a burst of deafening shouts coming from the distance.
It was not only Tang Huan and Mu Yan, but the other Martial Warriors s in the lower tier area had all turned to look. Several hundred meters away, in the rock dispelling area, a large group of figures was already surrounding them. In the crowd, brilliant rays of golden light were indistinctly visible at first, but after a while, it had already become incomparably resplendent.
"Haha, the 'Venus Stone'!" It really is the 'Goldstar Stone'! "
In an instant, a wild and joyous laugh resounded from the crowd. "Hahahahaha …." "Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
Amongst the crowd, there seemed to be a guy dancing and gesticulating excitedly. Presumably, he was the owner of the "Venus Stone". Following that, a chaotic mess of sounds could be heard from all directions. Tang Huan could not see what kind of expression the people in the distance had, but all the nearby Martial Warriors s had envious looks on their faces.
"'Goldstar Stone' … This is a high-grade gem, and among high-grade gems, it could be considered a high-grade gem. "
"That guy is pretty lucky. He just started out with a high-grade gem."
"A 'Venus Stone' costs around 500,000 gold coins!" I just noticed that the guy seemed to have come out of the upper section. A single piece of the Ancient Source Stone was 50,000 gold coins, and that fellow had earned 450,000 gold coins in an instant! Tsk tsk, this luck is really … "
"..."
Similar sounds would come into his ears from time to time, and even Tang Huan was moved when he heard it.
However, the current Tang Huan could only feel envy.
In the next moment, Tang Huan refocused his mind and continued to move forward. Following that, another few waves of heaven-shaking shouting came, and it was clear that all of them were extremely valuable gems.
The gems were of a different kind.
According to common sense, all the gems from the same vein should be the same. Even if they were not identical, their characteristics should be similar. However, in this world's mines, gems were disorderly and disordered. There were no rules, and it was possible for any kind of gems to appear.
No one knew how such a vein was formed, and it became one of the biggest mysteries in the world.
Time flew, more and more Martial Warriors entered the Divine Armament Building to participate in the bet, there were even many armored soldiers present. The primordial stones that contained gems were selected one after another, which stimulated many of the Martial Warriors s who were in the middle of selecting them to go crazy.
Even in the low rank ore area, the number of Martial Warriors s increased to a few hundred.
Tang Huan's expression was still calm from the start. In this region, he and Mu Yan had already walked a third of the way, but Xiao Budian, who was hidden in the cloth bag in front of his chest, had not made a single movement from start to end … Fortunately, although Tang Huan had some expectations for the stone gambling, but he did not have much, so he was not anxious at all.
"Yiya!"
After a while, Xiao Budian's extremely soft voice finally sounded out.
Tang Huan's heart jumped, his footsteps paused, and his gaze immediately fell on the small pile of Ancient Prairie stones a few meters away. Of the ores in the vicinity, besides the two piles behind him, there was only the pile that was the closest to him. Xiao Budian reminded him at this moment, the one he was sure to point at was those ores.
Beside the pile of rocks, there was a yellow-clothed youth who was clearly a novice. He was currently bent over, curiously sizing up the place.
"This pile of ores looks pretty good."
"Let's go and take a look."
Tang Huan and Mu Yan exchanged glances, while talking and laughing, they slowly walked over and started searching through the rocks. According to their agreement, if Tang Huan were to come across any gems hidden within the Primordial Stone of Inheritance, Xiao Budian's head would lightly bump against him.
"Do you also think that it's not bad?" The yellow-clothed youth looked at the two of them with interest, he also grabbed an ancient ore, "I …"
"Lil 'Lin, what are you doing here?"
"All of these ancient stones have been piled up for who knows how many years, and those with gems have already been picked up. Let's go, let's go over there to take a look, there's a pile of new Ancient Stone."
Without a word, the Black Costume Brawny Man pulled up the yellow clothed youngster and walked forward. Before he left, he shot a glance at Tang Huan and Mu Yan with disdain.
Tang Huan laughed in his heart as he started to search the ores around.
When he left this place and walked to the next pile of primeval stones, Tang Huan was still hugging the sleepy Feng Ming who was lying on his shoulder. However, both of Mu Yan's hands were already holding onto one of the primeval stones.
"Those two guys look like newbies. Two hundred gold coins is a waste of time."
Ten metres away, in front of a pile of fresh ores, a Black Costume Brawny Man unconsciously lifted his eyes and saw Tang Huan and Mu Yan's figures leaving. He could not help but snort, and upon catching a glimpse of the dark and dull ores in Mu Yan's hands, he could not help but sneer.
The yellow-clothed youth at the side could not help but weakly say, "Third Uncle, what if they …"
"How could there be so many? If we can find gems in that pile of old rocks, the roosters can lay eggs and the hens can crow. " Black Costume Brawny Man laughed coldly.
"..."
After finding two Ancient Ore Stones, Tang Huan's luck was exceptionally good. Not long later, Tang Huan found two more Ancient Ore Stones according to Xiao Budian's judgement.
"Just one more." Mu Yan could not help but ask.
"There's no need to search any further."
Tang Huan shook his head and laughed, then suddenly threw back the ancient ore he had picked out earlier. He then casually took out two of the ores from the pile and collected five of them.
Mu Yan was startled for a moment, "Why are you …"
"Let's go, we'll pay over there."
Tang Huan did not reply. Instead, he grabbed onto a piece of ore and stood up while smiling. With a lift of his feet, another ore fell into the crook of his arm which was wrapped around his chest.
"I understand!" With that thought, a smile of realization appeared in Mu Yan's eyes.
"..."
