Chapter 178
Chapter 178 See Green
After nearly an hour, Tang Huan and Mu Yan arrived at the Comprehending Rock Area once again. Four hundred and eighty thousand gold coins had already been exchanged for a full bag of forty-eight primeval stones.
It was only now that Tang Huan realised that there were already three rows of people queuing up for the opening of the rock.
There were more than a hundred people in each group, and at the front of the group, there were a human figure sitting cross-legged, constantly waving his dagger in his hand and slicing the ancient ore. It seemed that when the Divine Armament saw that the green robed elder was in a fluster, he asked for two Martial Lord s of the eighth step to help him.
Tang Huan and Mu Yan almost didn't even think as they stood in front of the green-robed elder.
This caused the number of people gathering in front to be many times more than before. Every time an extremely valuable gem appeared, the shouts from in front to there would shake the heavens and the earth, causing one's ears to buzz, as though even their eardrums would shatter.
Very quickly, people discovered the 'husband and wife' that Tang Huan and Mu Yan were having with their children.
"Look, the guy who picked three of the five old stones in the lower tier area is truly coming again."
"Such a big bag of Ancient Ore … I'm afraid there's at least forty to fifty of them. Tsk tsk, even though he's so rustic, he's quite bold. It looks like he's already spent all of his 400,000 gold coins!"
"Hmph, just wait and see. It's already good enough that he could earn half of his 400,000 gold coins. It's easy to find a high-grade gem like the 'Obsidian'."
"What, you can even get 'Obsidian Stone' from a few of the old ores in the lower tier?" Isn't his luck too good? Or does he have some methods to choose ores? "
"What tricks could he have? A bumpkin that just came out of a forest deep in the mountains, we just ran into him."
"..."
All sorts of voices came from afar, the fingers of a few Martial Warriors s touched upon this matter, drawing even more attention from Tang Huan and Mu Yan.
Hearing those words, Tang Huan frowned, he seemed to be displeased, but at the same time, he was not convinced. From time to time, he would tiptoe to the side and peek his head out, looking extremely impatient, as though he wished that he could immediately run to the front and take out the ore to gag those people.
Time passed bit by bit, and the number of people waiting in front of him gradually decreased.
"The 'Black Tortoise Stone'! It's actually a high-grade jewel, the 'Xuanwu Stone'! "
"There are so many gems hidden in the old ores in the low rank area?" "Damn, just two high-grade gems appeared today."
"First it's an 'Obsidian Stone', and now it's a 'Black Tortoise Stone'! This old man's heart's slightly moved!"
"I'll go to the lower tier area to pick a few old ores and see how my luck is."
"..."
Tang Huan subconsciously looked towards the front of the convoy to the far left in the blink of an eye. Two familiar figures entered his eyes: it was Black Costume Brawny Man and Huang Yi's uncle and nephew.
His luck was good. Although the value of the "Black Tortoise Stones" could not be compared to the "Obsidian Stone", a single one was worth at least three hundred thousand gold coins.
This sudden good luck had obviously caused the uncle and nephew to be somewhat dazed. They stayed in a daze for a long while before their faces flushed with excitement, and their hands and feet danced. Then, Black Costume Brawny Man excitedly ran over to the purchase point with the precious stones in hand. The yellow-clothed youth smiled widely as he followed behind, his eyes sweeping the area.
After a while, the yellow clothed youngster's two eyes fell on Tang Huan, and his eyes were actually filled with … Gratitude?
This caused Tang Huan to be a little surprised. The Primordial Stone that they picked out was not the one that Xiao Budian dropped after picking it, right? This possibility was extremely high. When he was in the lower tier area, he had noticed that the youth was looking at him and Mu Yan several times.
Even so, Tang Huan did not feel that it was such a pity, but his face still revealed an envious look, which suited his current identity.
The surrounding Martial Warriors s all had faces full of jealousy and hatred. First, it was Tang Huan's "Obsidian Stone" bet, and now it was the uncle and nephew pair's "Profound Martial Stone", causing everyone's heart to stir. In just a few breaths, there were at least a hundred people who left the crowd and ran towards the lower tier area.
"Haha, we're here again!"
After almost half a quarter of an hour, all of the Martial Warriors at the front finally finished deciphering the stone. Some were depressed, some were excited. Tang Huan had an impatient look on his face. After grinning, he waved towards Mu Yan who was behind him, "Madam, quickly give this bag of ores to Senior."
Before he finished speaking, Mu Yan had already brought a bag of ores to the old man's side, smiling widely.
Seeing that, many of the surrounding Martial Warriors had strange looks in their eyes.
But the ones that won were only a small minority. Even if they had won in the beginning, if they did not know how to control themselves, they would still lose everything in the end. After all, luck was always going to be used up in that moment. The couple was no exception.
Everyone had different expressions. However, the old man in green robe didn't say anything and just grabbed a ore from his bag.
The middle-grade, high-grade, and even top-grade ancient stones all had labels on them. The label that the old man had just taken out had the word 'medium-grade' on it. On the surface of the ore, there were four green lines, one deep and the other shallow. It was hard to say if there were gems hidden inside.
"Swish …"
While everyone was carefully sizing up the ancient ore, the old man in green robe had already moved the dagger in his hand. The slight sound was like a thread, continuing without end.
Feng Ming who was lying on Tang Huan's shoulder, suddenly woke up, and looked around with his black eyes, with an innocent look.
Tang Huan and Mu Yan, on the other hand, uncontrollably clenched their fists as they stared unblinkingly at the green robed elder's hands. Their expressions were filled with anticipation and apprehension. In the process of deciphering the stone, the Martial Warriors who had participated in the stone gambling revealed almost all of these expressions.
Tang Huan had a deep impression of this ore, and the gems hidden inside had indeed made him look forward to it, just that it was not as exaggerated as he was showing off at the moment.
While choosing the ore, Xiao Budian's head knocked three times on Tang Huan's chest. According to their agreement, Xiao Budian would only react like this when he met extremely powerful wood type gems.
There was definitely a gem inside the ore, but since it wasn't a "Sky Wood Stone", Tang Huan didn't dare be sure.
"It's green! It has become green! "
"There are gems!"
"..."
Just as Tang Huan was thinking about that, a few exclamations of surprise sounded out at the same time. Tang Huan looked over, and indeed, a green light appeared on the left palm of the old man in green robes.
"Haha, it's definitely a high-grade gem!"
Tang Huan blinked his eyes a few times, then waved his fist excitedly and laughed out loud. Under the cover of this exaggerated expression, Tang Huan's heart was secretly relieved, but at the same time, a hint of happiness rose in his heart.
