Black Tooth Gu froze instantly. Not to mention him, even Banka was in a panic. The more confident they were just moments before, the more flustered they became now.
The others were also extremely frustrated. They had originally hoped to make a great deal, but instead they suffered huge losses. If the next stone yielded something else, many of them would be ruined.
Seeing the string of anger points in the background, Zuan almost burst out laughing: "Don't be afraid, everyone, the probability of finding anything in this stone is very small."
The First Clan
The group of people looked at each other strangely. That was exactly what they had been thinking when they decided to bet with him, but they never expected him to say the opposite. What goes around comes around.
“How about this, the bet we just made still stands. If there’s nothing in this stone, we’ll pay you a thousand spirit stones. If there is something inside, you’ll still pay us an equal amount of spirit stones as agreed. How about that?” Zu’an said.
Everyone was taken aback, and couldn't help but feel a little tempted.
According to the agreement, the other party has already won. Regardless of whether there is anything in the remaining stone, they do not need to pay them 1,000 spirit stones. However, they must compensate the other party for what they found in the stone.
It's unclear whether it was because they were suddenly rich, but they actually made such a demand.
There was no reason for them to refuse. After all, the two thousand spirit stones they had just lost had cost many people their lives. If they could get back a thousand to stop the bleeding, that would be great: "This young man is very generous."
"The snake clan is indeed kind."
...
Amidst the chorus of praise, they secretly cursed him as an idiot.
Zuan could naturally see that these people had ulterior motives, and he secretly sneered, waiting to see who it was.
He walked up to Banka and Heichigu: "You two must have very dry mouths right now, would you like to drink some water first?"
As he spoke, he casually picked up a teacup from the table that someone had drunk from, and handed it over.
The two felt nauseous: "No need!"
As he spoke, stone chips flew everywhere from his mouth, even turning Black Tooth's teeth white.
Anger from Banka: +555 +555 +555...
Rage from Blacktooth +555 +555 +555...
Zuan then looked at Shimin and the others: "If none of you princes have any objections, shall we open the last rough stone?"
Lion Rong and Lion Gong instinctively looked at their third brother, Lion Min, who smiled and nodded: "Our Lion Clan values chivalry the most, and we would never go back on a promise we've made."
"That's good, sir, you can begin now." Zuan said politely to the butler of Biyuan, but he was very puzzled. Was Shimin really so generous?
The housekeeper of Biyuan glanced at Zuan in surprise. He had originally thought Zuan was an arrogant and cocky young man, but now it seemed that he was just pretending to be weak while actually being strong.
He smiled and nodded, then began cutting the last piece of rough stone.
Shi Rong sneered, "That was just a lucky break. I don't believe we could have gotten anything from that."
Banka deeply agreed: "The Seventh Prince is absolutely right. That kid is really too hateful."
Black Tooth spat out a mouthful of saliva, which was full of stone fragments: "Hmph, I'll let him taste what it's like to eat stone later."
However, as soon as they finished speaking, they were blinded by a flash of red light.
This time, the butler didn't cut for too long; he only made one cut and the goods were ready.
Everyone was stunned. It was all over. They had already suffered a loss because of a single grape-sized Earth-grade Yuan Stone, and now this one was much larger. They were going to be bankrupt.
Black Tooth swallowed hard, ignoring the pain in his throat from the stone chips: "Don't panic, everyone. This is probably just a facade. We've opened them before, and the outside was fine, but the inside was full of stones."
"Not bad, not bad~" The group seemed to have found solace and breathed a sigh of relief.
That's more like it. You can't find such good stuff in the yellow section, especially not the cheapest one.
It must only be the outer layer; the inside must be stone. Yes, that must be it.
Even Lion Rong and Lion Gong were secretly praying.
Only Shi Min, who had always been so confident and in control, showed a change in expression for the first time.
At this moment, the steward's expression also became somewhat solemn. His movements were no longer as bold and expansive as before, but rather he began to cut carefully. As the outer layer of stone was cut away, the red light emanating from within grew stronger and stronger, while the faces of the people around him grew paler and paler.
The last fist-sized red crystal appeared in the center, radiating intense heat and filling the entire room with an extremely rich spiritual energy, far purer than the previous earth-grade spiritual stone.
"This aura, is it Heaven-rank?" Someone in the arena asked, their voice trembling.
Yan Xuehen was initially worried about Zu An, but upon seeing this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"That kid's lucky." Yun Jianyue snorted. Although she said she was a little disappointed that she couldn't see him eating stones, there was no trace of disappointment in her eyes.
"This is a Heaven-Rank Flying Fire Flowing Glass! It has miraculous effects on the breakthrough and improvement of fire-type cultivators." The steward's voice trembled. Although he had opened up more precious items over the years, he had never heard of opening this among the low-priced stones in the Yellow category. It was enough to make him a legend in the industry.
"How many spirit stones is this worth?" Zuan asked, wondering if his confidante, Da Manman, who was fire-type, would need this.
However, Biluo Palace is a major sect, so it shouldn't be lacking in resources.
The steward replied, "It's worth at least one hundred Heavenly Rank Yuan Stones."
"Only a hundred stones?" Zu An was somewhat dissatisfied. Back in the misty forest outside the tomb of Marquis Sui, in order to help Wu Liang break through the mist, everyone pooled together Yuan Stones to run the formation. People like Soren Shi and Kong Nanjin could easily take a hundred Heavenly Rank Yuan Stones.
