More and more onlookers arrived, causing the atmosphere to become even livelier.
Yao Yue had already cut more than half of the second stone, but he still did not gain much. After all, he had spent 15 cubic meters of saint crystals on it.
If he failed to cut it, he would lose all his money!
Fu Hai, Keni, and the others were gloating over Yao Yue's misfortune.
Just as the Night Shrine protector was about to continue cutting, a voice rang out from outside, "Don't cut this stone yet. I'm willing to buy it for 20 cubic meters of saint crystals!"
An old man in a red robe squeezed into the crowd after the voice was heard.
The old man had a radiant complexion, and his red hair fluttered in the wind. He was dressed in a red robe, and his aura was extraordinary.
"It's the Firecloud Great Sage. I didn't expect him to come!" someone exclaimed when he recognized the old man.
The Firecloud Great Sage was an extremely famous wandering Saint in the Ancient Wind Zone. His firepower was extremely domineering, and he rarely had a match among cultivators of the same level.
Beside the Firecloud Great Sage was a transformed Fire Demon Sage. One could vaguely see the silhouette of a fire bird jumping around his body.
"How is it? Are you selling this stone?" the Firecloud Great Sage asked again.
Yao Yue immediately replied, "Sir, please don't be in such a hurry. Let's continue the bet. Before the victor is decided, we won't sell this stone."
The Firecloud Great Sage glanced at Yao Yue and said, "Since that's the case, I'll wait for you to finish the bet. However, this old man really wants the stone."
"Let's talk after cutting it," Yao Yue replied.
The Night Shrine protector cut again, and after a few cuts, the stone was finally revealed.
It was a high-grade fire origin stone the size of two cubic meters!
"Haha, it's just a fire origin stone. What can it do? What a loss!" Fu Hai laughed proudly.
"That's right. I have plenty of fire origin stones here. Why don't I give you a few?" Keni said with a mocking look.
As soon as they finished speaking, the Great Sage spoke again, "Ignorant!"
"What do you mean?" Keni turned around and looked at the Fire Cloud Great Sage with dissatisfaction.
"I said you are ignorant!" The Fire Cloud Great Sage shouted.
"Huo Yun, do you not put our Ke Family in your eyes?" A middle-aged man behind Keni stood up and replied.
"You're digressing. I'm just saying that they've made a mistake. Even though this is just a piece of Fire Yuan Stone, can't you guys see that there's something else within it?" The Fire Cloud Great Sage let out a look of fear.
"Let me cut it out and see for myself!" Yao Yue said as she couldn't wait to cut it out.
He carefully cut open the Fire Essence Stone, and gradually, the image of the Phoenix Luan floated out once again.
Just as Yao Yue was about to finish cutting the Fire Origin Stone, the Phoenix Luan's silhouette became more and more obvious, attracting even more attention.
"What is that?" Dong Luming couldn't help but ask.
"It should be a high-grade Phoenix Luan's Saint Core!" Yao Yue stopped cutting and said.
At this moment, everyone could see the image of a Phoenix Luan attached to the Fire Origin Stone in Yao Yue's hand, and there seemed to be a Demon Core flickering inside.
"Thirty saint crystals, I'll take it!" the Beast Overlord beside the Great Sage suddenly said.
Although a Phoenix Luan wasn't a Phoenix, it had some of the Phoenix's innate bloodline. It was extremely precious to any Bird Demon.
Yao Yue shook his head and said, "I'm not selling it. I'll keep it for myself."
He needed a Demon Core to break through, and this Phoenix Luan Demon Core was the best source of energy for him to break through. How could he just give it away?
"Fifty cubic meters of Saint Crystal!" The Beast Saint exclaimed again.
Yao Yue shook his head again. His meaning was clear.
"Young friend, what do you need? I'll trade it with you," the Great Sage said.
"Sorry, I don't need anything for now," Yao Yue said. He then turned to Fu Sheng and said, "It's your turn to cut it."
Fu Sheng was annoyed. He kicked away the stone Yao Yue had chosen and said, "So what if you have a Demon Core? I won't lose!"
This time, Fu Sheng didn't ask the old man from the Night Shrine to do it for him. He cut the stone himself.
As his movements sped up, that piece of ancient stone quickly disintegrated!
Suddenly, a different kind of brilliance appeared on the stone. It seemed to be faintly multicolored and was very dazzling!
Fu Sheng was overjoyed. He sped up and cut out the stone.
It was a five-colored crystal that was about one cubic meter in size. It was different from Origin Stones and Saint Crystals, and its aura was different as well.
"This is a five-colored stone crystal, also known as a Chaos Stone. It's very beneficial to cultivation.
It's a pity that it's too small. "
"It really is a five-colored stone crystal. Not only can it help with cultivation, but it can also be used to forge weapons. It's definitely very powerful."
"If it was a few cubic meters in size, its value would be heaven-defying.
Now that it's so small, its usefulness is limited. Still, I'll take 70 cubic meters of Saint Crystals. "
"Even a five-colored seal is comparable to a Great Sage weapon. I'm willing to take 100 cubic meters of Saint Crystals."
…
"Fu Sheng, I'll take this five-colored stone crystal," Ke Ni said while looking at the dazzling five-colored stone crystal.
"Haha, if Miss Ke likes it, I'll naturally give it to you," Fu Sheng said proudly.
If Yao Yue's Demon Core was worth 50 cubic meters of Saint Crystals, then his five-colored stone crystal was worth more than 100 cubic meters of Saint Crystals. He had completely surpassed Yao Yue in terms of value.
The other people who wanted the Five-Colored Stone Crystal all looked disappointed!
The Night Shrine's protector felt even more pained.
He hadn't expected this batch of ancient stones to contain a five-colored stone crystal. If this news were to spread to the Night Shrine, the Saints in the shrine would be so angry that they would vomit blood.
One had to know that this ancient stone containing a five-colored stone crystal was sold for only 12 cubic meters of Saint Crystals. It was a huge loss.
"Yao Yue, you've lost for sure!" Fu Sheng glanced at Yao Yue proudly before cutting the last ancient stone.
His last ancient stone contained a Saint Crystal, and it was a rare Gold Saint Crystal.
However, he had spent 30 cubic meters of Saint Crystals on this ancient stone and only obtained 5 cubic meters of Gold Saint Crystals. Overall, it was still a loss.
However, with three ancient stones, Fu Sheng had definitely made a huge profit.
The smug smile on his face was as bright as a summer flower. He felt that victory was already waving at him.
"Alright, Yao Yue, cut your last stone," Fu Sheng said proudly.
At this moment, Yao Yue felt the pressure increase.
He hadn't expected Fu Sheng to have a five-colored stone crystal. If his last stone didn't contain a heaven-defying item, he would definitely lose.
"If I lose, then so be it. It's just an arm.
It's just a disgrace to the Night Shrine. "Yao Yue sighed in his heart.
Although he was confident in this last Wormhole Stone, he was afraid that the value of the item would not be comparable to the five-colored stone crystal.
"Are you afraid? If you admit defeat now, I can let you keep your arm. However, if you work for me for 10 years, I'm willing to let you go." Keni looked at Yao Yue and said proudly.
"You don't have the qualifications." Yao Yue glanced at Keni and said.
Then, he began to cut the last Wormhole Stone.
This stone was very strange. It was surrounded by wormholes, giving people a gloomy feeling. It was impossible to cut it.
"Wait, let me cut this stone!" Suddenly, a voice came from the crowd.
The crowd separated, and an extremely sloppy old man sneaked in. Looking at him, he was no different from a beggar on the street!
"Who are you? How dare you barge into the stone workshop with this appearance?" Someone shouted in dissatisfaction.
"That's right. Get lost, you old man. Do you want to smoke us to death?" Another person scolded.
"Shut up. Are you Master Zui Chi?" The Fire Cloud Great Sage suddenly shouted.
When his voice fell, the scene immediately became silent.
The name Zui Chi was very intimidating in the Ancient Wind Region.
He was an elder who had been famous for thousands of years. It was rumored that his strength had reached the peak of the Sage Realm. He had even become a god.
Not many people had seen Zui Chi's appearance. Who would have thought that he would look like this?
The sloppy old man ignored the Fire Cloud Great Sage's words and stared at Yao Yue. He shouted, "Little kid, how about letting me cut this stone?"
Suddenly, Yao Yue felt an indescribable force supporting his body. He couldn't help but want to agree.
"Zui Chi, don't you dare bully my little brother!" Another voice rang out as another figure barged in.
This was a fat Taoist priest. He had a warm smile on his face and gave people a feeling of approachability. However, looking at his pair of slippery eyes, he gave people a feeling of cunning.
This was none other than Lin Hai, the Taoist priest who had sold the Divine Nine Stars Token to Yao Yue.
Lin Hai's voice rang out in Yao Yue's ears, causing Yao Yue to regain his clarity. He thought to himself, What an expert!
He had not expected the sloppy old man to be so powerful. He had been tricked by the old man with just a mask.
Lin Hai also shocked him. Lin Hai, this elusive Taoist priest, never let him know how strong he was!
"Smelly Taoist, when did he become your little brother?" The old man scolded Lin Hai.
"Ask him if he knows me." Lin Hai smiled at Yao Yue.
Yao Yue bowed slightly at Lin Hai and said, "Long time no see, Taoist priest. You look even more handsome than before."
"Haha, you're too kind.
You're not bad yourself. "Lin Hai beamed with joy.
"Alright, enough nonsense. I'll cut this stone." The old man shouted and reached for the Wormhole Stone.
Lin Hai immediately stopped him. "Zui Chi, don't act crazy here. It's better for me to cut this stone."
"Hmph, stop me and I'll teach you a lesson." The old man shook off Lin Hai's hand and shouted in annoyance.
"Don't be angry. I think we should just let this lord cut it. We want to know the result anyway," Yao Yue said.
"That's more like it," the old man said in satisfaction and started cutting the Wormhole Stone again.
Buzz!
