Only the two of them knew just what Su Ming had given to the old man. The people around them might have seen it, but they did not know the details. This was also why the old man from the God of Shamans Temple did not say a single word when he saw that there were only five Scattering Dusts and took the initiative to light up the Enchanted Vessel for Su Ming.
Since no one knew what Su Ming had given to them, then they only needed to bring out another item to replace the Scattering Dusts. These five Scattering Dusts, which were clearly of much better quality, would naturally become the old man's personal belongings.
The Grand Elder of the God of Shamans Temple had no reason to reject this seemingly obvious but hidden method of trade. In fact, he liked this result, and his gaze as he looked at Su Ming became slightly different. As for the origins of these Scattering Dusts, he believed that if he wanted to know, it would be a piece of cake for him.
'This person is experienced and wise …' The Grand Elder of the God of Shamans Temple put away his storage bag. Once he cast a glance at Su Ming, he no longer paid any attention to him.
Due to this matter, the number of gazes gathered on Su Ming was much higher compared to the others. However, as sizzling sounds traveled into the air and the others began cutting open their Crimson Stones nervously, the gazes that were gathered on Su Ming slowly moved away.
Su Ming did not look at the others. He looked at the Enchanted light ring before him and pressed his right hand on it. When he closed his eyes, he immediately had a feeling as if he had become one with the Enchanted Vessel, as if he could control it to perform all sorts of cuts.
He had only watched others use it before, but now that he was controlling it himself, he experienced it for a moment before he pointed at the Crimson Stone with his left hand. Immediately, the stone charged towards the light ring, and once it was enveloped by the light ring, it started rotating slowly. Every single time the light ring rotated, a large amount of powder would fall down.
As the light ring rotated, Su Ming's eyes remained closed. He spread his divine sense into the storage bag and gathered it on the small black humanoid. After a moment, when Su Ming smelled the faint medicinal fragrance once again, he saw the small black humanoid trembling. The center of its brows shone, and the strange black flower with three petals appeared once again.
Compared to Su Ming's slow speed, there were already some people who cut open their Crimson Stones in disappointment, causing all the Shaman Crystals they had spent to go down the drain.
As time passed by, more people who cut open their Crimson Stones looked dejected. As they let out long sighs, the Crimson Stones in the light circles shattered, and they returned to the crowd on the ground with nothing.
At that moment, there were only about a dozen people who were still cutting open their Crimson Stones in midair. After some time, as booming sounds rang in the air, another seven people's Crimson Stones shattered completely. Their Crimson Stones were empty, and as these people laughed bitterly, they left.
Right then, there were only four people left, including Su Ming, who were still cutting open their Crimson Stones in midair!
Su Ming still had his eyes closed and did not bother himself with the people around him. He slowly spun the light ring, causing the Crimson Stone in it to gradually shrink. He would occasionally adjust the angle of the light ring, and his divine sense was focused on the small black humanoid to observe the flashing picture at the center of its brows.
After a few breaths, another Crimson Stone shattered, and the number of people cutting stones in the sky turned into three. Yet at that moment, a powerful red light suddenly shone from the Crimson Stone in front of a Shaman who looked like a teenager!
The moment the red light spread out, ecstasy appeared on the boy's face.
"Strange light! Haha! I've opened a strange light!!"
The crowd underneath also looked over, and the instant they saw that strange light, their faces lit up.
However, the boy's laughter was still echoing in the air, and just as his heart was filled with excitement, another Crimson Stone in front of the three Shamans also shone with a piercing red light!
It had also shone with that strange light! The owner of that Crimson Stone was a middle-aged man. He was tall and built, and it was clear that he was a Battle Shaman. He licked his lips and started laughing. He was right next to Su Ming. Su Ming was number 97, and he was number 96.
Two of the remaining three Crimson Stones shone with that strange light, and it immediately caught the attention of the crowd underneath. Uproars rose all around them.
"Two of them shone with that strange light at the same time. These two people's luck is just …"
"Damn it, I remember this number. He offered 50,000 more than me just now. This … This is …"
In the midst of the discussions around them, Nan Gong Hen looked at Su Ming and shook his head. For some unknown reason, he felt slightly better.
As the two people who had opened the strange light continued rubbing their Crimson Stones in excitement and even controlled the sharp spikes to pierce through them, Su Ming continued changing the position of the Crimson Stone with his eyes closed, making the light ring rotate and rub against the stone's surface layer by layer.
After a moment, right under the expectant gazes of the crowd on the ground, the boy who had opened the strange light gritted his teeth in excitement. The sharp spikes in the light ring pierced through the stone, and after a few times, as the light ring rotated rapidly, the Crimson Stone let out a bang and split into two.
It was empty inside …
The boy was momentarily stunned, then just like Nan Gong Hen in the past, he cut at the stone once again, unwilling to admit defeat. When the Crimson Stone completely shattered, a transparent mountain rock the size of a fingernail appeared in his hand, but there was still nothing inside.
The boy's face instantly turned pale. The change from ecstasy to disappointment was too quick and too great, and he found it a little difficult to bear with it.
The crowd underneath witnessed all of this. As sighs echoed in the air, someone suddenly let out a cry of surprise.
"Two-colored light! This … This is a two-colored light! A two-colored light appeared once again!"
"It's really two-colored! Two two-colored lights appeared in this one thousand stones today!"
As the cries of surprise rose, all the people's gazes were attracted to the middle-aged man beside Su Ming. That middle-aged man was incredibly excited at that moment. The Crimson Stone before him was shining with a red and blue light!
In the midst of the buzzing commotion, someone immediately placed a bid to buy that stone. At that moment, Su Ming was immersed in the picture at the center of the small black humanoid's brows in his storage bag. Gradually, he could tell that the picture was not unchanging. Instead, as he rubbed the Crimson Stone, it would change.
In fact, when he moved the stone, the flower would also start rotating. Su Ming was incredibly careful. At that moment, he opened his eyes, and with a glint in his eyes, he pointed at the Enchanted Vessel with his right hand. Immediately, sharp needles appeared on the rotating light ring, and without any hesitation, Su Ming controlled those sharp needles to pierce through one side of the Crimson Stone. Once they pierced through it a few times, as the light ring sped up, a bang rang out, and a small part of Su Ming's Crimson Stone was cut off.
The light ring then slowly stopped. Su Ming stood there and fell into a moment of pensive silence. At that moment, the man beside him laughed. He did not bother with the bids placed around him. He first gave Su Ming a smug look, then turned his head around and controlled the light ring to cut down once again. At the same time he cut down, a resolute look appeared in Su Ming's eyes, and he pointed towards the Enchanted Vessel.
The Enchanted Vessel spun and cut off another small part of the Crimson Stone before Su Ming. His actions were practically done at the same time as the man. Once the two of them finished cutting down the stone, the Crimson Stone before the man shone with a brilliant two-colored light, and it looked as if it was even stronger than before. This was enough to make the expressions of all the people in the area change. Even the Grand Elder of the God of Shamans Temple focused his attention on the stone.
At the same time, as the two-colored light shone intensely, a layer of distorted ripples suddenly appeared in the sky near Su Ming behind the man's Crimson Stone. As those ripples distorted, they turned into a gigantic picture!
That picture was of a black flower! That flower had three petals, and there was a ghost's face on each petal. It looked ferocious, causing the black flower to look terrifying. However, the picture was very indistinct, and people could only see its general outline clearly.
The instant the illusion of the flower appeared, the strongest cry of surprise and uproar in the entire treasure gambling event stirred up in the crowd underneath. Countless people stood up swiftly, and some of them even instinctively wanted to fly into the sky.
"Shadow! That's a shadow! "
"A … A shadow actually appeared? What flower is that?!"
"Ghost Spirit Flower! This-That's a Ghost Spirit Flower! A Ghost Spirit Flower with three petals! "
"A two-colored shadow? Darn it, that Battle Shaman is going to win big this time. Let's see how much of that thing he got during the treasure gambling event has been petrified. If it's only seven-tenths of that thing and still has three-tenths of its medicinal properties, then he'll be able to sell it for an even higher price than that strand of hair just now!"
For the first time, the Grand Elder of the God of Shamans Temple could no longer hide the shock on his face. He stood up and stared at the three-petal Ghost Spirit Flower in the illusory picture, and desire appeared in his eyes.
He was not the only one. At that moment, almost all the people in the eight halls around the area were staring fixedly at the flower!
"Ghost Spirit Flower … This flower can't be used as medicine. Its greatest use is to give birth to a Ghost Spirit. This Ghost Spirit can fly anywhere in the world, and all seals will have a hard time affecting it. Once it hides itself, it'll be even harder to find it … It's rumored that if you can gather five petals, then the Five Ghosts Art will appear …
"The Five Ghosts Art can fuse into a person's body, causing that person to turn into a living being that even the heavens won't be able to see once it opens its eyes! "That Battle Shaman is seriously incredibly lucky. He … he actually managed to get a Ghost Spirit Flower! "Hmm, something's not right …" Nan Gong Hen stood there in a daze. As he mumbled to himself, his eyes suddenly went wide.
The Battle Shaman in the sky was laughing maniacally. He looked so excited that it was as if his blood vessels were about to burst. As he trembled, he nearly lifted his head and roared towards the sky. Yet gradually, his expression changed, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face as he looked towards Su Ming.
At the same time, more people also saw that something was off …
"What a scam! That's not the shadow the man got, it's the masked person beside him who got it! "
"This man still has two colors, but the one beside him, Mo Su, has a Ghost Spirit Flower that has a shadow …"
The uproar grew stronger. Countless gazes ignored the man and gathered on Su Ming. The sounds of discussions shook the sky and earth.
Su Ming's expression remained the same, but he was feeling slightly nervous in his heart. He did not expect that this sort of shadow would appear.
"Brother Mo Su, sell that Crimson Stone to me. Heh heh, we can negotiate the price!" Tie Mu's voice immediately traveled forth from the eight halls. At the same time, Tie Mu personally walked out of the hall and wrapped his fist in his palm towards Su Ming while laughing.
