Shen Yuan Ring

The ownership of the Jadeite King Stone was settled quickly between Wu De and the buyer, partly because Ji Daoyi showed no reluctance to let him sell it.

Moreover, apart from Ji Daoyi, a third party, no one knew that the Jadeite King Stone, which emitted an extremely foul odor, had already been bought at a high price.

Meanwhile, the stench emanating from the Jade King Stone did not deter the crowd of onlookers, who remained as enthusiastic as ever.

After Master Lai took to the field again, another piece of the batch of raw stones that Wu De had purchased was cut open.

Unfortunately, not a single hair was cut from the second rough stone.

Master Lai was used to this. Although he felt some sympathy for Wu De beside him, he did not show any expression. Instead, he picked up another piece of raw stone and began to cut it.

"That guy is really unlucky!"

"Who can argue with that? The first jadeite king stone resulted in a loss of millions, and the second rough stone was just a piece of junk. You know, in this inner courtyard, the chance of finding a piece of junk is just like finding something of high value in the outer courtyard."

"He knows nothing and dares to buy millions of raw stones on his first visit to the inner courtyard! If only I had that many raw stones, maybe my cultivation could advance even further!"

"Give me a break! If you had that many spirit stones, you would have squandered them all by now! Cultivation, indeed!"

Wu De paid no attention to the sarcasm and ridicule he received from those around him, as if they weren't talking about him.

Moreover, he had just quietly completed a big deal, which had already brought him back hundreds of thousands of dollars.

This piece of waste rock only cost him 200,000 yuan.

Including the first piece of jadeite king stone, even disregarding costs, he's still making hundreds of thousands in profit.

Master Lai truly lives up to his reputation as an experienced stone-cutting master. With a swift stroke, he smoothly cut through the rough stone, following its natural veins.

The desk-sized rough stone was cut in half, but unfortunately, nothing was found inside.

However, Master Lai did not stop and continued to cut the raw stone that had just been split in half.

"That fat guy is really unlucky. He got two pieces of bad stone in a row. I guess this one will be about the same."

"You can't say that. His first rough stone wasn't completely cut open. What if there was a treasure inside?"

"What? A treasure? You dare take it? Calling it a piece of junk is already a favor to the Gu Yue family. If you cut out excrement from a raw stone and word got out of Stone City, it would become a laughing stock for all time!"

"..."

Hearing the rude remarks, the person who had just wanted to retort was immediately rendered speechless.

It wasn't that he didn't want to argue, but rather that it was a fact universally acknowledged by everyone present.

Instead of arguing unnecessarily, it's better to see if there are any good pieces cut out of the rough stones behind; you might even find a bargain.

Although the chances of finding a bargain are slim, what if you happen to encounter such a good thing!

Master Lai suddenly sensed something and abruptly withdrew his stone-cutting knife.

A powerful blade intent surged from the cut.

The intent of the sword comes quickly and goes quickly.

Before everyone could even sense a trace of energy, the chilling sword intent was suppressed by Master Lai's overwhelming strength.

"Hmph! Even a trapped beast dares to be presumptuous!" Master Lai snorted, and with a press of his palm, the still highly aggressive sword intent instantly quieted down.

"Master Lai truly lives up to his title; he suppressed the powerful sword intent so easily!"

"Master Lai is at the Dao Entry Realm. Although he hasn't broken through to the Great Power Realm, how could mere sword intent possibly cause a ripple in his hands? I never expected that this piece of stone would actually contain a treasure imbued with sword intent!"

"What good luck! Although that sword intent only lasted for a moment, I still felt a sense of pressure! I guess the treasure inside is something special."

"It's not solved yet, so anything can happen. What if that thing is just a one-time consumable?"

"Don't be a sour grapes. Didn't you see that Master Lai hasn't dissipated the power in his hands after the suppression? You were just calling others unlucky, but now that they've found something good, you can't stand seeing them do well!"

"You..." The man was instantly speechless, his face turning red, and he noticed that many people were staring at him like he was a monkey.

He could only glare at the person who mocked him before turning away dejectedly and disappearing into the crowd.

Not many people dare to act recklessly in the Guyue Stone Gambling Hall. They can talk big, but if they actually fight, they'll probably be taken away by the Guyue family in no time.

This was just a minor incident in the crowd and did not affect Master Lai's stone-cutting.

Master Lai held the knife in his left hand, his speed undiminished, and in no time, the object inside the stone was revealed.

This is a long sword with a broken blade. The blade is about two fingers wide and less than 40 centimeters long. It is jet black and shows no signs of rust.

A chilling, gleaming aura emanated from its broken blade.

If it weren't for the broken tip, it would definitely be considered a fine knife!

"What a fine blade! It's just a pity that such a good Yuan weapon is wasted! It could have been worth a lot of money, but because it's a broken blade, its value is reduced by at least half! However... if the other half of the blade tip were still in the other half of the stone, it might be possible to find a weapon refiner to repair it."

"It'll probably be difficult. But even if we can't find the blade tip, it'll still be a great deal! Look at the aura of this broken blade, it's at least at the mid-level of the Earth rank! And the real value of this broken blade isn't in combat!"

"Oh, what do you mean by that, brother?"

"You're not a sword cultivator, so of course you don't know its value! For sword cultivators who haven't yet grasped sword intent, this is an extraordinary treasure. They can quickly comprehend the sword intent of other original owners through a broken sword. The owner of this broken sword must have been a master swordsman, otherwise, he wouldn't have imbued the broken sword with such a strong sword intent!!"

"I see!" The man exclaimed in sudden realization. "By the way, brother, I've heard you speak so highly of it. Why don't you seem interested in it?"

"Because I have already grasped my own sword intent, I don't need to borrow from others!"

……

Master Lai found nothing else in the remaining stones and could only put the broken knife away.

Of course, in order to prevent its sword intent from harming others, a simple seal was also made to make it look like an ordinary blade.

"Brother, you don't seem like a sword cultivator. How about I take your broken sword? Your raw stone is worth 100,000 stones, I'll offer 110,000 stones, how about it?"

Wu De, who was still communicating with Ji Daoyi telepathically, was suddenly interrupted by a deep voice.

Wu De turned to look at the person who had spoken and replied calmly, "Not for sale!"

Just kidding, Ji Daoyi just sent him a telepathic message, asking him to leave the broken sword behind, clearly he has his eye on it.

Moreover, the person in front of him only asked for 110,000, showing no class whatsoever. How could Wu De possibly sell to him? He immediately refused.

The visitor was surprised by Wu De's decisive refusal; he had expected Wu De to try and negotiate.

That's not how the script was written!

No, the sword intent of this broken sword can significantly shorten the time it takes me to comprehend sword intent. I can't give up this opportunity!

He thought to himself, then gritted his teeth and raised the price again: "120,000... no, 150,000! I think that's not a low price!"
