"Since you can't give an estimated value either, then forget it. Let's cut the last piece of the sacred jade."
Chen Xuan spoke calmly.
He planned to take this thing back to the Eastern Emperor or the Fengdu Emperor to see.
My older brothers are knowledgeable and experienced; they might know something about it.
"Okay, I'll cut it right away."
Since Chen Xuan had spoken, Da Hei Niu naturally wouldn't make things difficult for him anymore, and Li Tianyi breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, he set his sights on the last piece of rough stone.
This is a silver gourd-shaped stone that is three meters tall.
"This stone was mined from the ancient Tianhuang mine."
"Everyone knows that the Tianhuang Ancient Mine is an ancient battlefield ruin. Anyone who enters it risks death, but if they can bring something out of it, they will surely rise to prominence."
"In fact, the stone from which half of the stick was just cut out was also dug out from the Tianhuang Ancient Mine."
Five million years ago, a team of professional miners entered the Tianhuang Ancient Mine. The team consisted of 720 people, but in the end, only two of them came out alive.
"The purple jade stone and the silver gourd are what I bought from these two people."
Li Tianyi slowly began to speak, explaining the origin of these two most valuable pieces of high-quality rough stones.
Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of surprise.
"Good heavens, it was actually dug out of the Tianhuang Ancient Mine?"
"That place is really eerie; it's said that just getting close to it makes you feel uneasy."
"Nonsense, that place is an ancient battlefield, buried with countless corpses. It can be described as a place where bones are piled up like mountains and blood is everywhere!"
"Ninety-nine percent of the people who entered that place eventually died, and the very few who came out alive either went insane or disappeared!"
“My master once warned me that I could go anywhere, but I must never go to the Tianhuang Ancient Mine, because that place is full of eeriness and misfortune, and it is a place where evil spirits can survive.”
Many people were discussing it, and some even started trembling uncontrollably when the Tianhuang Ancient Mine was mentioned.
Clearly, it was a forbidden place.
Even powerful Divine Emperors dare not set foot here lightly.
"This stone was actually dug out from that place."
Big Black Bull looked like he'd seen a ghost, and his head trembled as if he were having a seizure.
Chen Xuan looked at him with surprise and asked, "Have you been to the Tianhuang Ancient Mine?"
Big Black Ox nodded and honestly said, "I went there once when I was young. Back then, I was still the God Emperor, and I went in with Old Ma, Black Eagle, and a demon emperor from the Northern Plains. The four of us demons went in together."
"It was really weird at the time. After entering, we got lost, and then all sorts of strange things happened."
"What impressed me most was that at night, amidst thunder and lightning, a monkey covered in green fur appeared. It was as big as a mountain, with crooked eyes and a grotesque mouth, and was extremely ugly."
"It was chasing us. After the Demon Emperor of Beiyuan held the rear, the three of us escaped first. The old brother from Beiyuan didn't make it out. We've never seen it again. I guess he's probably in grave danger."
"Later, the three of us went through countless near-death experiences and all sorts of strange and bizarre events. Just when we thought we would all die tragically inside, one day, the sky was clear and the air was fresh, and we inexplicably walked out of the Tianhuang Ancient Mine."
"Even now, I still can't understand how we were able to get out of there. In fact, I was already prepared to die inside."
"However, it was precisely because of the near-death experiences that Old Ma, Black Hawk, and I went through that we developed a deep bond, which is why we joined forces to establish the City of Ten Thousand Demons."
Big Black Bull looked on with a look of reminiscence, recalling his past experiences with a sigh.
Back then, if it weren't for that demon god emperor of the Northern Plains...
It's possible that all four of them will be wiped out!
As for the strange things that Da Hei Niu experienced inside, he didn't go into details, since there were too many things he had gone through to tell in a short time.
"How many years were you left inside?"
Chen Xuan asked curiously.
The big black ox said with a strange expression, "According to our own calculations, we have been trapped in the Tianhuang Ancient Mine for over a million years!"
"But when we came out and asked about the time, it turned out that only a hundred years had passed."
"This shows that the passage of time in the Tianhuang Ancient Mine is different from the passage of time in the outside world."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan nodded and said, "Someone just mentioned that the place is an ancient battlefield, with all sorts of powerful figures participating in the battle, including those who are proficient in the laws of time."
"It's possible that a powerful being who governs the laws of time perished there, thus affecting the flow of time throughout the entire battlefield!"
A powerful being capable of influencing the flow of time on the entire battlefield must, at the very least, be a Great Emperor who has generated Dao Fire within his body!
This kind of emperor also has another name - Quasi-Supreme!
Chen Xuan suddenly noticed that Nangong Daoyi's expression turned strange after hearing the words "Heavenly Desolate Ancient Mine".
Chen Xuan asked with a smile, "Nephew, how much do you know about the Tianhuang Ancient Mine?"
This address of "nephew" made Nangong Daoyi feel extremely uncomfortable.
There's a feeling that Chen Xuan has taken advantage of me.
However, if Chen Xuan really is the brother of the Eastern Emperor, then calling him a nephew is not an exaggeration at all.
“I know a little. If you want to know more, I can tell you slowly later. As for now, let’s cut the last piece of stone first.”
Nangong Daoyi said somewhat awkwardly.
"Go ahead and say that." Chen Xuan glanced at Li Tianyi.
"yes!"
Li Tianyi was already somewhat numb; of the four top-quality jade stones he had collected, three had already been cut.
Now, it's finally time for the most valuable piece!
Its lowest selling price is 100 billion!
Of course, this is just the minimum bid price; nobody knows how many billions it will eventually sell for.
In any case, since records began, some top-grade rough stones have eventually sold for trillions of dollars, with prices approaching those of the rarest imperial-grade rough stones!
Soon, Li Tianyi made his move.
It was clear that he became more careful and cautious when cutting the silver gourd, and at one point his palms were sweating with nervousness.
He scraped off layer after layer of silver stone skin.
Half an hour later.
"It's turned green!"
"It's a blue treasure, what could it be?"
All eyes were focused on the stone.
At this moment, the stone is no longer in the shape of a gourd, but has been cut into an oval shape like an egg.
Li Tianyi continued working, and before long, he had cut all the silver stones, revealing the treasure inside.
