Chapter 95 The Holy Maiden of the Joyous Union Sect, A Bountiful Harvest

Normally.

Even a master stone appraiser cannot possibly calculate every single stone without missing one.

After all, even if there is something inside, it might be junk.

Things that cannot be used.

However, Zhang Yan and Lei Wanbao opened several raw stones in succession.

Surprisingly, each one contained something.

And none of them were defective.

"This……"

"This isn't right!" Lei Kunhai muttered to himself subconsciously, feeling that this had already deviated from his understanding.

Things shouldn't be like this!

Zhang Yan is a genius.

He had never doubted this point, and was even a staunch supporter of Zhang Yan's talent!
However, that applies to the art of weapon crafting!

But what's going on now?

Didn't we agree that he was a genius in weapon crafting, with unparalleled talent?

How do you have such a genius for judging stones?
Lei Kunhai felt extremely distressed.

It's like coming home from get off work and seeing a blond guy with your wife at home.

You want to NTR in person?

For a moment, Lei Kunhai's thoughts and expressions were quite interesting.

"Grandpa, are you really not going to open a few?" Lei Wanbao was overjoyed. Heaven help him, this was the first time he had ever opened so many raw stones.

If you open it, you're bound to find something inside.

The only difference is how much you can gain from it.

Is there anything more awesome in the world?
Lei Kunhai had been itching to try it for a long time.

Upon hearing Lei Wanbao's words, he waved his hand dismissively.

"Alright, my dear grandson, you can't handle these rough stones, so you should hand them over to your great-grandfather." With that, Lei Kunhai took the rough stones directly from Lei Wanbao.

Lei Wanbao: "???"
"No, I bought these with spirit stones!"

Although he had some reservations, he didn't dare to say anything and could only watch helplessly as his great-grandfather and Zhang Yan drove so enthusiastically.

"Wow~"

Zhang Yan opened another raw stone.

"Um?

It's actually a Void Yellow Earth!

Inside the raw stone was only a fist-sized yellow substance.

Zhang Yan's face immediately lit up with excitement.

This yellow substance is nothing other than...

It was the very spiritual object he had been searching for.

This spiritual object can replenish his spiritual roots, making him complete in all five elements.

"Not bad, not bad. With this, this trip to Taigu City will be totally worth it." Zhang Yan suppressed his excitement and continued to open the raw stones.

This time he bought a lot of raw stones.

It cost nearly 20,000 spirit stones in total, half of which were sold to Lei Wanbao.

Only one-third of the remaining items have been opened, and their value already exceeds 15,000 spirit stones.

With the spirit stones Lei Wanbao gave him, he had already made a huge profit.

He didn't stop then.

Open all the raw stones directly.

"Alright, let's take stock of our spoils." Zhang Yan looked at the dazzling array of items before him, his expression barely concealing his excitement!

I won't go into the details of the Void Earth Guardian.

This is the last spiritual item that can help him complete his spiritual root.

Of the remaining items, the most valuable was a flying sword.

Although the flying sword looked dim and lacked brilliance.

However, after Lei Kunhai's inspection, it has been proven that this flying sword is a magic weapon!
A magical artifact used by those at the Golden Core stage!
It's worth over 100,000 spirit stones!
It's just that after a long period of time, spirituality has been lost.

But that's alright, you just need to replenish your spiritual energy slowly.

"A magic weapon worth 100,000 spirit stones!" Zhang Yan was overjoyed as he looked at the three-foot-long, silver-white sword in his hand.

Lei Wanbao, standing to the side, had red eyes.

A flying sword of magical treasure level!

Even Lei Kunhai was tempted, after all, flying swords are among the most expensive of all magical artifacts.

Apart from some magical artifacts with special functions.

Flying swords can be considered the most valuable magical artifacts.

No one can resist a flying sword!
Besides the magic weapon-level flying sword, Zhang Yan also obtained many other items.

There are magical artifacts, spiritual weapons, as well as some secret manuals and ores.

Of course, there are also some that, although they have been opened, are no longer usable due to the passage of time.

Even so, Zhang Yan still made a fortune.

As for Lei Kunhai and Lei Wanbao, they've really learned a lesson today!

It's really scary.

All the rough stones contain goods!
They had never seen such a terrifying success rate.

Even those masters couldn't do it.

"Grandpa, do you think Junior Brother Zhang can help us win first place at the raw stone auction?"

Lei Wanbao, standing beside Lei Kunhai, asked him a question.

"Nonsense, is that even a question?"

"Of course!"

Lei Kunhai said without hesitation.

joke.

If even such a skilled stone appraiser can't do it...

Who else can do it?
“We’ll be counting on you then, and you can get 2% of the benefits from this stone appraisal.” Lei Kunhai pondered for a moment before speaking to Zhang Yan.

Give the stone appraiser a 20% cut.

This is an unwritten rule.

However, only the five top stone appraisers can enjoy such treatment.

Zhang Yan's current strength seems to be firmly above those five stone appraisers.

Lei Kunhai would naturally not mistreat his disciples.

It's impossible to give Zhang Yan a free ride just because he's a true disciple of the Qingheng Sect.

While it is theoretically possible to do so, it would be extremely unpopular!
Zhang Yan did not overcharge.

At normal market prices, as long as you produce more good products, you can naturally make a fortune.

……

time flies.

Before you knew it, it was time for the raw stone auction to begin.

The raw stone auction was divided into two sessions.

The first event was an exhibition hall.

The exhibition hall is filled with carefully selected raw stones.

All invited sects can bid for raw stones here.

If two people want the same piece of rough stone, the one with the higher bid wins.

The rough stones at the second auction were the finest of the fine.

Just like a normal auction, bidding is required.

And they will be fired on the spot.

You can choose to keep the items you find or sell them.

Zhang Yan and his group are currently at the first auction.

This exhibition hall is particularly large.

It covers a land area of ​​over a thousand acres.

The room was filled with tables, and on the tables were often pieces of raw stones, along with their prices.

Next to the raw stone, there were also service staff.

These service personnel are responsible for introducing the raw stones.

Zhang Yan and the others held jade tablets in their hands.

This jade plaque represents their identity as members of the Qingheng Sect.

If they like a piece of raw jade, they can leave a price on this jade plaque and then stick it on the corresponding raw jade.

If they still hold the highest price after the event ends.

Then this rough stone belongs to them.

If someone else offers a higher price, they will receive a notification and can then raise their bid.

"This auction is all up to you!" He walked into the venue.

Lei Kunhai was unusually nervous.

After all, the amount they were going to buy this time was just too large.

If you can't buy anything good.

At that point, Mo Changqing would probably tear them both apart alive!
It's terrifying to even think about.

"Don't worry, leave it to me." Zhang Yan gave the other person a reassuring look.

Then I started browsing through the exhibition hall.

have to say.

This exhibition hall truly lives up to its reputation as a collection of carefully selected raw stones.

Everything inside is of the highest quality.

It's no exaggeration to say that you could buy a rough stone here with your eyes closed and still find something inside.

However, don't think that this means you're guaranteed a profit.

Actually, that's not the case.

It's just like buying a lottery ticket.

Spend fifty yuan, win twenty.

Did you make a profit or a loss?

They are facing the same situation now.

Although most of these rough stones can yield good items.

but!

The items inside vary in quality. If you have poor judgment and choose items whose value is less than that of the raw stone, you'll lose money.

Therefore, this is where the true test of a stone appraiser lies.

"Junior Brother Zhang, what do you think of this raw stone?"
"I think it's very good." After entering, Lei Wanbao was quite fond of these raw stones.

At this moment, he was holding a raw stone as long as a person's arm and asking Zhang Yan a question.

"This raw stone..."

Zhang Yan glanced at it in surprise. Lei Wanbao's luck is pretty good!
The raw stone in his hand was indeed very good; it should be a flying sword.

Judging from Zhang Yan's assessment, it should belong to the first tier of spiritual artifacts, which is perfect for Lei Wanbao to use.

"Senior Brother Lei, I think this raw stone is pretty good. If you have the money, you can give it a try." Zhang Yan glanced at the price of the raw stone: three thousand spirit stones.

It’s not safe to eat.

“Alright, since that’s the case, then I’ll buy it!” Upon hearing Zhang Yan’s words, Lei Wanbao left a jade token without hesitation.

"This rough stone looks pretty good, I'll take it." Suddenly, a cold voice rang out.

A young man with a thin frame and a pale face looked at the raw stone in Lei Wanbao's hand and spoke calmly.

The man was dressed in fine clothes.

It's obvious from its appearance that it has an extraordinary background.

Beside the young man stood a woman wearing a veil.

His face was not visible.

Behind them were two Golden Core stage cultivators.

"Zhou Wudao!"

"How could it be this guy?"

Upon seeing this person, Lei Wanbao couldn't help but frown, revealing a look of disgust.

"You know him?" Zhang Yan asked with some curiosity.

“I know him. He was the third place when you went to the secret realm last time, a little worse than you.” Lei Wanbao nodded and introduced him to Zhang Yan.

"Oh, it's him. I remember him." Zhang Yan nodded. He was the one who participated in the selection for the secret realm last time.

He came in first place.

Then Leng Anxia came in second place.

The third place goes to Zhou Wudao.

"The one next to him is Leng Anxia. Both of them are disciples of the Hehuan Sect." Lei Wanbao sighed as he spoke, then put down the rough stone: "Since Brother Zhou has taken a liking to this rough stone, then I'll give it to you!"

"That's more like it." Zhou Wudao's face was grim as he glared at Zhang Yan.

It seemed like a provocation.
"Good grief, I didn't do anything to this guy, why is he looking at me like that?" Zhang Yan was helpless, the situation forced him to give up the raw stone.

"Because you suppressed him during the last time in the secret realm!" Lei Wanbao pulled Zhang Yan aside and said softly.

"Didn't Leng Anxia suppress him too?"
Why didn't he retaliate against Leng Anxia?
"I think they get along quite well." Zhang Yan didn't quite understand Zhou Wudao's mentality.

“Leng Anxia is a Nascent Soul stage descendant of the Hehuan Sect, while Zhou Wudao is merely a collateral branch of another sect. Do you think he dares to do that?”

Besides, he's always had a crush on Leng Anxia, ​​so naturally he wouldn't be upset. Lei Wanbao rolled his eyes.

"How do you even know this?" Zhang Yan exclaimed in surprise.

"It's not exactly a secret."

Everyone knows that. Lei Wanbao said with a hint of helplessness.

Zhang Yan had been diligently cultivating himself, so he knew very little about these matters.

But for second-generation rich kids like them, they know everything.

The main reason is that the Hehuan Sect is a Nascent Soul level sect, and it's right next to their country. Everyone knows all the exciting gossip about them.

Zhang Yan's lips twitched.

It's true that the love of gossip is something that can't be changed no matter where you are.

"Forget it, forget it, let's keep looking for other raw stones," Lei Kunhai said at this moment.

He was also very unhappy with the Hehuan Sect.

But still the same sentence.

Circumstances dictate that they are powerless to change anything.

After all, the other party is a sect at the Nascent Soul level, and a Nascent Soul cultivator with two ears at that.

It was simply beyond the Qingheng faction's ability to contend with.

"It seems I need to establish my foundation as soon as possible." Zhang Yan watched the other person's departing figure, a shadow falling over his heart.

It's just the Nascent Soul stage!
Once he reaches the Foundation Establishment stage and helps his grandmaster to recover, their Qingheng Sect will also be able to produce a Nascent Soul cultivator.

With his grandmaster uncle protecting him, Zhang Yan wouldn't need to fear the other party anymore.

After all, at the Nascent Soul stage, unless there's an absolute suppression of power, no one will openly break ties.

I may not be able to defeat you, but I am qualified to have a conversation with you, since you have two Nascent Soul stage cultivators in your family.

"Senior Brother Lei, don't worry, I'll help you pick out another rough stone, one that's definitely more valuable than the last one," Zhang Yan assured Lei Wanbao.

"That doesn't matter. I'm just worried that they might target us," Lei Wanbao said to Zhang Yan after thinking for a moment, since they were going to attend the auction later.

If this bastard targets them, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.

"Forget it, let's talk about it later. Right now, these are just our own ideas." Zhang Yan shook his head, then led Lei Kunhai and Lei Wanbao to continue browsing in the exhibition hall.

As for Zhou Wudao, he didn't continue to entangle with Zhang Yan and the others.

It seems he just wanted to give Zhang Yan a hard time.

I don't know if he's just settling for it this way, or if he wants to wait until later.

After the other party left, Zhang Yan also found a lot of good raw stones.

Unfortunately, some of the better rough stones already had jade plaques on them.

The price was left by someone.

It's clear that the other party also has a very high opinion of this raw stone.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been priced so high.

"As expected, there are still many experts. It's almost impossible to find a bargain directly," Zhang Yan sighed.

However, Zhang Yan was not in a hurry about this.

After all, with so many raw stones in this exhibition hall, there's bound to be some bargains to be found.

Back and forth, going around in circles.

In the end, Zhang Yan selected more than twenty raw stones.

Most of these rough stones were found at bargain prices.

However, some of these are raw stones that result in losses.

after all……

If we were to get something from all of them, that would be incredible!
However, he also took control of the situation.

Those raw stones that were sold at a loss will not result in a significant loss.

Overall, they made a huge profit from this operation.

And these consumptions.

Naturally, the Qingheng faction will foot the entire bill!

in this way.

Soon it was time for the exhibition to close.

A service staff member came up to Lei Kunhai and asked, "Do you want your raw stone to be cut now?"

Should we wait a while before it opens?

At auctions in Taikoo Shing, there is an unwritten rule that almost all the raw stones purchased on-site must be opened on the spot.

Then everyone will make a comparison.

The first-place winner will receive a discount at the upcoming auction.

"Open it."

Lei Kunhai said nonchalantly, "Zhang Yan already told me that before."

Some of these rough stones are hollow.

Therefore, he doesn't need to worry about becoming a target of public criticism.

The process of opening the raw stones was carried out right under everyone's noses.

No matter which sect opens the raw stone, the surrounding area will always be packed with people.

"Which sect is the most valuable right now?" Lei Kunhai asked the attendant.

"It is the Hehuan Sect."

The second place is the Heavenly Sword Sect. "The waiter was clearly very familiar with this information as well."

He answered quickly.

"Okay, let's go." Lei Kunhai nodded.

Zhang Yan and Lei Wanbao watched from the side.

In this situation, the two of them barely had a chance to speak.

So they are happy to have some free time.

At this moment, the waiter also began to open the raw stones.

Because this is happening in full view of everyone, there's no way to fake it.

The process was also quite normal.

They open one by one, and then there are people specifically assigned to manage the stock prices.

The area was divided into several tables.

When the Qingheng Sect's platform opened, a large number of people had already gathered.

The first one I opened turned out to be an empty gem.

This made everyone sigh with emotion.

After all, every single rough stone in this market has been carefully selected.

In this case, the first gem was actually empty.

To be honest, it's a bit demoralizing!
However, Lei Kunhai didn't care and waved his hand gently, asking the other party to continue driving.

The second rough stone was soon opened.

"A low-grade spiritual artifact, worth 8000 spirit stones!"

"Not bad!" They bought this raw stone for three thousand spirit stones, which means they made a profit of five thousand from it.

The profits are quite substantial.

Having made a discovery, the waiter proceeded to open the third rough stone.

the fourth.

the fifth!
As more and more rough stones were unearthed, more and more people gathered around.

There is no other reason.

Because everyone noticed that the chances of finding something from the Qingheng Sect's raw stones seemed to be higher than others.

Even the items inside are significantly more expensive.

"Old Lei, which master did you find to help you?" At this moment, a Golden Core cultivator who was familiar with Lei Kunhai came to his side with some envy.

"master?
"We didn't consult any masters. For some reason, they all broke their contracts with us. This time it was just pure luck. We just picked randomly, and we didn't expect to get so many good products!" Lei Kunhai said with a sigh.

That tone, that attitude—if I hadn't known beforehand, I would have really thought it was just good luck!
"Look, the Qingheng Sect's income is about to surpass that of the Hehuan Sect!"
"Won't the Qingheng Sect come in first place this time?"

At that moment, someone suddenly spoke up.

"No way, after all, the Hehuan Sect hired several stone appraisal masters this time."

Some of the monks found it hard to believe.

"But look, the Qingheng Sect has only opened half of them, and they're already worth more than the Hehuan Sect combined. Surely the remaining stones will yield something, right?"

What do you know!
"That's how it is with opening raw stones. If you're sure you can find something, you can keep opening them all the way through. But if you stop halfway through, you might not be able to find anything at all later!" a cultivator said confidently.

This guy clearly believes in metaphysics.

The commotion from the Qingheng Sect quickly reached the Hehuan Sect.

"What did you say?
"Are we going to be overtaken by the Qingheng Sect?" Zhou Wudao's expression turned somewhat grim upon hearing this.
