Three-in-one chapters, 9000 words erupting. His exhaustion from pushing it all the way to this day had finally erupted, and he could no longer write anymore.
With these three chapters, I'll have 83 new chapters this month. I beg for a monthly ticket for the last 30 hours at the end of the month!
"It's still 3,000,000." The Grand Elder of the God of Shamans Temple looked at Su Ming coldly. In his eyes, this person might be a little smart, but he clearly did not understand the current situation. Even if he could fight against a Latter Shaman with his level of cultivation, under the Grand Elder's great power, this person was just a leaf that was torn apart by a violent gust of wind. He could not even put up a single bit of resistance.
Besides, this price was already enough in his eyes. The highest price the God of Shamans Temple had ever offered was only 5,000,000. In comparison, if this person did not agree to 3,000,000, then there was no need for him to agree to it anymore.
Su Ming cast the Grand Elder a glance. If he had not made any detailed preparations beforehand, then the only path he could take right now was to sell the stone.
However, since Su Ming had the courage to stand here and speak to the Grand Elder in such a manner just now, then it was only natural that he had already predicted everything that would happen next.
At that moment, he no longer spoke. Instead, he lifted his right hand, and with a flash of green light, he cut down on the Crimson Stone. As rumbling sounds reverberated in the air, Su Ming compared the Crimson Stone to the picture at the center of the small black humanoid's brows. After a long while, right under the countless people's gazes, the Crimson Stone shattered with a bang. A large amount of powder fell off, and a transparent mountain rock the size of a head appeared on Su Ming's palm!
The mountain rock was sparkling and translucent, and it seemed to contain a resplendent radiance. A black flower was sealed within it, and two of its petals were petrified. However, one of the petals was brimming with vitality, and the ghost face on the black petal looked like it was smiling malevolently.
The instant the Ghost Spirit Flower bloomed and was revealed to all the people in the area, a shocking uproar rose up in the air. The gazes that gathered on the stone contained jealousy, envy, madness, and complicated emotions. All sorts of emotions could be found in the crowd on the ground.
"It's really a Ghost Spirit Flower, and … one of its petals contains such life force!"
"That petal has already matured, and I don't know how many years have passed. As long as the method is correct, I can create the first Phantom at any time!"
"Damn it, I offered a price for that stone, but … but why didn't I continue fighting for it?!"
As the people around him started talking, Nan Gong Hen's eyes went wide and his breathing quickened. He looked at Su Ming, and his eyes gradually lit up.
"Brother Mo, your luck is just too heaven-defying. You just casually bought a Crimson Stone, and it gave birth to a Ghost Spirit Flower. If you look at the flower as a whole, it's been petrified by more than six tenths, but if you look at that petal alone … this … this is a complete flower that isn't affected in the slightest!
One, this flower flower is worth at least 7,000,000 Crimson Spirit Flower Stone!
Su Ming looked at the floating mountain rock on his palm. With a flip of his right hand, the mountain rock immediately disappeared. He did not even look at the Grand Elder of the God of Shamans Temple and turned around to walk towards the crowd underneath.
The people who had walked out of the eight halls just now had their gazes trained on Su Ming. No one stopped him. After all, the price offered by the God of Shamans Temple was simply too low. If any of them were in his place, they would not accept it.
The Grand Elder of the God of Shamans Temple also looked at Su Ming's back as he walked to the ground. His face was still as dark as ever, but he did not speak. In his mind, while the Ghost Spirit Flower was pretty good, it was not worth it for him to take it in front of the crowd. As long as Su Ming was in the World of Nine Yin, then everything was possible. There was no need for him to be in a hurry.
As for the man who had the dual-colored light beside Su Ming, when he saw the strange atmosphere around him, he hesitated for a moment before he gritted his teeth and continued cutting the stone. As he continued cutting and the dual-colored light flashed, the people's gazes gradually gathered on him once again.
Su Ming returned to the ground and went to his seat. Lan Lan and the other two youths immediately surrounded him in excitement. The other Shamans around them also wrapped their fists in their palms to greet him. They were originally about to go forward, but Nan Gong Hen glared at them and pushed away all the people who wanted to get close to him with a cold harrumph.
Nan Gong Hen did not bother hiding his envy towards Su Ming. He looked at Su Ming, then remembered himself, and smiled wryly as he wrapped his fist in his palm.
"Brother Mo … I'm convinced, I'm completely convinced by you!" In Nan Gong Hen's eyes, Su Ming was a legendary person. He had been able to bring him through the world that was filled with threats and avoid all the dangers to arrive safely in Shaman City. He had been able to fight against Tie Mu with just the power of a Medial Shaman. More importantly, after that battle, his relationship with Tie Mu did not seem like they had fought against each other before. From Tie Mu's words, Nan Gong Hen could tell that he had acknowledged Su Ming.
Su Ming's actions in the Land of the Spirits of Nine Yin had shocked Nan Gong Hen even more. He had not expected that this person would rent such a shameless Protector of Nine Yin, and just as he felt pity for him, he realized that he was the one who felt pity for Su Ming.
It was as if there was a layer of fog surrounding Su Ming. The more you wanted to see him clearly and the more you walked in, the more likely you would get lost.
At that moment, when Nan Gong Hen saw Su Ming casually buying a Crimson Stone and stirring up such a huge ruckus, along with the Ghost Spirit Flower, he suddenly came to a realization.
'There must be a mysterious halo around Mo Su. That halo is invisible and colorless. It can't be seen, can't be touched, but its existence will make it impossible for others to guess his existence … Hmm, if I stay with someone with this halo, I might be able to get some of it …' Nan Gong Hen's eyes shone brightly as he looked at Su Ming and chuckled, but soon, his expression changed and he spoke in a low voice.
"Brother Mo, we have to be careful of that Grand Elder from the God of Shamans Temple. That person's power is incredibly great, and he's ruthless in his actions … Besides, my old man is in isolation all year round, so his power is much weaker now. We might not be able to control him …" Nan Gong Hen spoke with a frown, acting as if he was on Su Ming's side.
At that moment, the Crimson Stones numbered 701 to 800 had also been put up for auction. Perhaps it was because Su Ming had obtained the Ghost Spirit Flower, but the subsequent auctions for the Crimson Stones had already reached an incredibly intense state.
"Brother Mo, you have to be careful as well. If there's a Crimson Stone that we fancy, then once we place a bid, the people around us will also start bidding madly for it …" As Nan Gong Hen spoke, he looked as if he was truly going to fight together with Su Ming. His words were filled with the word 'we'.
"Ahem, brother Nan Gong, you don't have to worry too much. I might still have some Crimson Stones that I fancy, but I lack Shaman Crystals, so I won't place any more bids." Su Ming shook his head.
"I do! Brother Mo, don't worry. Just place a bid. We're going to get a huge sum of money this time. I've prepared enough Shaman Crystals for the treasure gamble! At that time, we brothers … Heh heh, we can talk about how we're going to split the loot. "Nan Gong Hen's face was full of smiles, and there was anticipation in his eyes.
He had already come to a complete understanding. He had to stay close to Su Ming and move together with him. Because of that, no matter how bad things would get, he would not end up like how he had spent the past few days renting the Nine Yin Guards with millions of Shaman Crystals, only to have his five hundred thousand Shaman Crystals go down the drain in an instant, and so on.
"Is that so …" Su Ming cast Nan Gong Hen a glance.
"Brother Mo, you don't have to hesitate anymore. It's fine. We hit it off the moment we met, and these worldly possessions are nothing compared to our friendship. Brother Mo, if you need them, feel free to take them. See if I, Nan Gong Hen, will even frown!" Nan Gong Hen patted his chest.
"Alright." Su Ming had no reason to refuse. Once he finished speaking, he immediately shouted a bid towards the Crimson Stone Number 836 that was currently being auctioned in the sky.
"Five hundred thousand!"
Nan Gong Hen was momentarily stunned. He had thought that Su Ming would continue being courteous, and then he would try to persuade him a little more. In the end, both of them would have their own needs, and they would come to a tacit agreement after some small talk. However, Su Ming did not continue being courteous and instead joined the bidding.
In truth, he was still a little worried in his heart. After all, his Shaman Crystals did not fall from the sky, but had been obtained through hard work. When he saw Su Ming casually placing a bid of five hundred thousand, his heart immediately clenched in pain, but he still had to put on a relaxed expression. In fact, he even had to smile and nod towards Su Ming to show that he was generous.
"Brother Mo, what do you think of this Crimson Stone?" Nan Gong Hen looked at the Crimson Stone in the sky. No matter how he looked at it, it was no different from the other stones.
The people in the area had previously bid for this stone at four hundred and thirty thousand, but when Su Ming placed a bid of five hundred thousand, it immediately caught everyone's attention, as if a stone had been tossed into the water.
It was just as Nan Gong Hen had expected. In truth, a lot of people were staring at Su Ming, and they were already prepared to immediately follow him if he placed another bid to buy the Crimson Stone.
When they heard Su Ming's bid of five hundred thousand, quite a number of people instantly became excited and placed their bids.
"Five hundred and fifty thousand!"
"Six hundred and forty thousand!"
"Six hundred and forty thousand!"
"Six hundred and eighty thousand!"
When he saw that the price was increasing, Su Ming turned his head around and cast a glance at Nan Gong Hen, who was hiding his nervousness on his face.
"Brother Nan Gong, how many Shaman Crystals do you have?"
"Er … I still have around two million …" Nan Gong Hen's heart lurched.
"Seven hundred and fifty thousand!" Once Su Ming heard it, he placed another bid. His voice fell into Nan Gong Hen's ears, causing his heart to instantly shrink. He was conflicted, but he still forced out a smile and put on a look of agreement.
Nan Gong Hen's heart raced and he instinctively asked, "Brother Mo, what's the quality of this stone?"
"I don't know." Su Ming's words almost made Nan Gong Hen's vision go black.
"Eight hundred thousand!" Once Su Ming placed his bid, someone immediately placed another bid. Clearly, that person had already made up his mind to snatch the Crimson Stone that Su Ming had his eyes on.
"Do you want to add more?" Red appeared in Nan Gong Hen's eyes. He glared at the spot where the person placing the bid had come from and whispered to Su Ming.
"Forget it, let's bid for the next one." Su Ming shook his head. In the end, that Crimson Stone was bought by someone at the highest price of eight hundred thousand.
Chapter 452: Auction
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation When he heard Su Ming's words, Nan Gong Hen's heart clenched. He had not felt this way when he used his Shaman Crystals to bid for the Crimson Stone, but when he saw someone else using his Shaman Crystals to bid for it, the feeling was completely different.
It was especially so when he had been willing to do so and had even taken the initiative to ask for it. Yet even so, when Nan Gong Hen truly faced it, he could not help but feel his heart clench in pain.
When the auction for the Crimson Stone numbered 837 arrived, Su Ming placed a bid once again, and he did the same for each subsequent stone. Each time he placed a bid, Nan Gong Hen's racing heart would not calm down. He would still feel nervous as he continuously placed more bids.
In fact, there were a few stones where Su Ming placed his bids in an incredibly resolute manner, giving off a feeling that he was determined to buy them. Because of that, the people competing for them became even more intense.
However, there were also a lot of people who could see that something was off, but this was a gamble, so they could not say anything about it.
Gradually, Nan Gong Hen also saw the meaning behind Su Ming's bids. Just as delight rose in his heart, Su Ming placed a bid that made Nan Gong Hen's heart pound in fear towards the Crimson Stone numbered 897 in a crazed manner.
"Eight hundred thousand!"
"Nine hundred thousand!"
"One million!"
"Brother … Brother Mo, this is …" Nan Gong Hen was just about to speak when Su Ming had already stood up.
"One million and five hundred thousand!" He placed that bid without any hesitation and swept his gaze across the crowd, clearly determined to get the stone no matter what. When Nan Gong Hen saw Su Ming's actions, he instantly became slightly excited in his nervousness. With bloodshot eyes, he also glared at the people around him, as if if anyone else placed another bid, then that person would become Nan Gong Hen's mortal enemy!
"One million and six hundred thousand!" A low voice suddenly came from the crowd, and the person who placed that bid was the man who had managed to obtain the two-colored light while Su Ming was cutting the stone. That man gritted his teeth, and his eyes were also bloodshot at that moment.
"One million and eight hundred thousand!" Su Ming remained silent for a moment before he spoke through gritted teeth. By his side, Nan Gong Hen was already extremely nervous. Even his breathing had quickened.
"One million and nine hundred thousand!" The man lifted his head and stared at the Crimson Stone numbered 897. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was similar to Crimson Stone numbered 697. Besides, he had been observing Su Ming all this while. This stone was the one Su Ming insisted on placing a bid for, that was why he gritted his teeth and placed a large bet.
"Two million!" Yet right after the man placed his bid, a low roar immediately traveled forth. This time, it was not Su Ming who spoke, but Nan Gong Hen, who was standing by his side. He shouted at the top of his lungs.
Su Ming was momentarily stunned.
The man was about to suffocate when he shouted madly, "One million and two hundred thousand!"
Nan Gong Hen widened his eyes. Just as he was about to continue speaking, Su Ming let out a fake cough and tugged at Nan Gong Hen.
"We don't want it anymore."
"Hmm? What?" Nan Gong Hen nodded instinctively, but he was momentarily stunned before he understood what was going on. He looked at Su Ming with a wry smile and mumbled continuously in his heart. He was not an idiot, but he had been affected by the atmosphere in this place. Once he understood what was going on and understood the meaning behind Su Ming's actions, he could only laugh wryly in his heart.
'Darn it all, these aren't my Shaman Crystals. If I was in his place, I'd still dare to play this game …' Nan Gong Hen grumbled in his heart, but he still forced a smile on his face and put on a generous front.
"These Shaman Crystals are nothing. If you like this stone, brother Mo, we can also snatch it!" Nan Gong Hen said boldly.
As he looked at Nan Gong Hen, Su Ming blinked. In truth, when the man placed his bid of 1,800,000, he had already wanted to give up. After all, he was just randomly placing his bid so that no one could tell what he truly wanted to buy. However, Nan Gong Hen's shout had also made Su Ming nervous.
Every single time Su Ming placed his bid from the number 830 something to the 900 something, he would always leave some leeway in his caution. Besides, this batch of Crimson Stones had to be cut open at the same time, and everyone would be lucky enough to get their hands on them. Because of that, he was able to create a gap that allowed quite a number of people to squeeze in.
As the one hundred Crimson Stones were cut open one by one, the scene reached an intense state. In fact, it was even more intense than before. After all, most of the people who bought these one hundred Crimson Stones had spent a lot of money on them, and they had even snatched them from Su Ming. The Crimson Stone worth 2,100,000 had also been sold at the highest price this time.
However, as the Crimson Stones were cut open one by one and they crumbled with loud bangs, the uproar in the crowd grew stronger, but all of those voices were filled with disappointment.
Nan Gong Hen looked at the one hundred people in the sky returning with pale faces dejected, and a smug smile appeared on his face.
It was especially so for the Crimson Stone that had been bought at the sky-high price of 2,100,000. Once it was reduced to powder right before the crowd's nervous gazes, the man was stunned for a moment in midair before he coughed up a mouthful of blood and staggered back. Only then did the cutting come to an end.
It was strange. Only one of the one hundred Crimson Stones shone with a faint, unusual light, but it was the same as the other stones inside. It was empty.
Once the one hundred Crimson Stones were cut open and the final one hundred Crimson Stones were auctioned off, the crowd clearly became wary of Su Ming. Their desire to follow him had also become much weaker.
That was why Su Ming bought the 901 Crimson Stones in the end with a price of 400,000 …
Once the short auction ended, Su Ming had bought a total of four Crimson Stones. Besides Crimson Stones numbered 901 and 949, the other two had fallen into Su Ming's hands because no one else had placed any more bids.
The final price had cost Nan Gong Hen nearly two million Shaman Crystals, causing his heart to clench in pain, but he was even more nervous that he would lose all his money. He looked at Su Ming multiple times, but Su Ming's mask that hid his expression made him even more nervous.
When the cutting started, Su Ming had already flown into midair. His appearance immediately attracted the gazes of countless people around him, especially Nan Gong Hen, who was continuously hoping for a miracle to happen.
'He'll definitely do it! He'll definitely do it!' Nan Gong Hen gulped. Su Ming was the only person in his world at that moment.
When Su Ming stood beside the ring-shaped Enchanted Vessel once again, not only were the people below looking at him, the people from the eight halls around him, including the Grand Elder of the God of Shamans Temple, also looked towards him.
With a calm expression, Su Ming lifted his right hand and pointed at the Enchanted Vessel. Instantly, the Enchanted Vessel grew bigger and enveloped the Crimson Stone numbered 901 within it. Sizzling sounds reverberated in the air, and even the other people who had opened their stones first looked towards Su Ming.
Su Ming closed his eyes and gathered his divine sense on the small black humanoid in his storage bag. Slowly, as the small humanoid trembled, a picture gradually appeared at the center of its brows, and within that picture was a Dragon Leaf Grass with four leaves!
Su Ming had known about this Dragon Leaf Grass since a long time ago. Two of its leaves had turned into stone and withered away. The remaining two leaves might still be alive, but they did not have enough life force and looked listless. They could not compare to the seven leaves Su Ming had, but were rather similar to the one the man in white from Nine Shaman Pavilion had taken out.
With familiarity, Su Ming opened his eyes right under the crowd's gazes. The light ring he controlled spun rapidly, and with a bang, he cut the Crimson Stone in half. As it was cut open, the two-colored light immediately appeared.
It would have been fine if that was all, but as Su Ming turned the Crimson Stone and cut it down once again, a golden light appeared within the two-colored light!
Red, blue, and gold surrounded the stone and was immediately reflected in all the people's eyes. This time, even the Grand Elder of the God of Shamans Temple found it difficult to remain calm. His expression changed and he was filled with shock.
If even he reacted this way, then it was even more so for the others. After a short period of silence, the entire place erupted into a wave of sound and uproar that surged into the sky.
Among them, Nan Gong Hen was the most excited and excited. He stood there and threw his head back and laughed loudly. That excited look on his face made him look like a gambler who had bet most of his money and saw the light at the end of the tunnel.
"Three-colored light …"
"Just where did this Mo Su come from? He … He actually has such shocking luck? He was the one who opened that Ghost Spirit Flower just now, and now, the second stone is giving off a three-colored light?!"
"Brother Mo, sell this Crimson Stone to me this time. I'll give you 1,500,000, what do you say?!" Tie Mu immediately spoke before Su Ming could.
Su Ming turned his head around and wrapped his fist in his palm towards Tie Mu, then lifted his right hand and pointed at the Enchanted Vessel once again. As he sliced at it, a large section of the Crimson Stone was cut off once again. At the same time, the light ring started rotating rapidly. As ashes scattered into the air, the Grand Elder of the God of Shamans Temple had an incredibly grave expression on his face. He was not looking at the Crimson Stone, but at Su Ming!
He refused to believe that there was such a lucky person in the world!
"Sir, why don't you sell this stone to our tribe? We're willing to pay 1,800,000 Shaman Crystals for it!" Another person quickly shouted out a price as the light ring rotated.
Su Ming ignored him and continued controlling the cutting. After some time, a glint appeared in his eyes and he lifted his right hand swiftly to strike the broken Crimson Stone. With that one strike, the stone shattered with a bang, and what appeared in Su Ming's hand was a transparent mountain rock that was not too big. The Dragon Leaf Grass within it could be seen clearly.
"Dragon Leaf Grass! This is a Dragon Leaf Grass with four leaves!"
"Two of the leaves are still alive. This grass might not be as valuable as a Ghost Spirit Flower, but it's still a rare item. I heard that it has a unique effect that can cure all sorts of strange poisons in the world!"
"We, Wind Wave Tribe, are willing to pay 2,700,000 Shaman Crystals for this Dragon Leaf Grass!"
"You want to buy this Dragon Leaf Grass with just 2,700,000? We, Nine Shaman Pavilion, are willing to pay 3,200,000! "
Nan Gong Hen's heart pounded against his chest. This sort of excitement was something he had never experienced ever since he entered the World of Nine Yin. As he listened to the voices calling out the prices, his breathing became increasingly rapid.
Su Ming's expression remained as calm as ever. He had this item, and it was clear that its quality was even better. Once he lowered his head and cast a glance at Nan Gong Hen, he threw the transparent mountain rock towards him.
"Brother Nan Gong, you can decide how you want to deal with this stone."
Nan Gong Hen threw his head back and laughed loudly. With one move, he charged into midair and caught the transparent mountain rock, then looked at the people around him with a grin. The Grand Elder of the God of Shamans Temple frowned.
Chapter 453: Auction
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Su Ming did not bother himself with how Nan Gong Hen would deal with the Dragon Leaf Grass. He lifted his right hand and seized the air. The second mountain rock flew towards him, and right when he placed it into the Enchanted Vessel, Su Ming immediately pointed at the Enchanted Vessel. Buzzing sounds reverberated in the air. Su Ming had bought this mountain rock on a whim, and he did not know what was inside.
As the Enchanted Vessel spun rapidly, the Crimson Stone became smaller, and eventually, it shattered, and there was nothing within it.
When the people saw Su Ming's failure, they felt slightly better. If Su Ming managed to find something else, then it would be difficult for them to believe that he was just lucky …
Su Ming's expression remained as calm as ever. He did not feel too much pain in his heart. He grabbed the third Crimson Stone through the air and placed it into the Enchanted Vessel. Then, without any hesitation, he cut into it. Su Ming did not even think that he would be able to get anything out of it, but right after he did that, a strange light suddenly appeared from the cut.
The appearance of that strange light immediately attracted countless gazes.
Su Ming was momentarily stunned, but there was not a single hint of change on his face. However, his heart started racing. This was different from when he had cut open the Crimson Stone that he had a high chance of getting. This sort of unknown feeling, this sort of palpitation, this sort of speculation that he did not know what was contained within the Crimson Stone made Su Ming understand for the first time why so many people were so passionate about the treasure gambling event.
Su Ming's heart raced slightly. He stared at the Crimson Stone and controlled the light ring to rapidly rub against the stone. As it did so, the Crimson Stone became smaller, and after a moment, a glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. Sharp spikes immediately appeared in the light ring and pierced through the Crimson Stone. After a few more spikes, the light ring cut into the stone once again, and only a small part of the Crimson Stone was left.
However, even though there was only one ray of light on that small part of the Crimson Stone, that ray of light was incredibly dazzling!
Su Ming's heart raced even faster. This was a feeling he had never felt before. Just as he was hesitating whether he should cut into the stone again, the people who had finished their trade with Nan Gong Hen looked towards him.
"Ahem, brother Mo, since you sold the Dragon Grass to Nine Shaman Pavilion, then sell this stone to me. What do you think? I'll give you 1,500,000."
"I'll give you 1,700,000!" Autumn Sea Tribe's Sacred Lady, Wan Qiu, stated calmly at that moment. Her gaze was still fixed on Su Ming, and she was still observing him.
Once she opened her mouth, the Celestial Maiden in white also stated her price, followed by Tian Lan Meng.
When Su Ming saw Tian Lan Meng, his heart had been moved, but it was clear that this was not the time for them to get to know each other. Besides, Su Ming, who had left the land of Berserkers, also had mixed feelings towards Tian Lan Meng.
When he saw the three women speaking to each other once again, Su Ming fell into a moment of pensive silence. He was slightly unwilling to sell the stone just like that, which was why he decided to cut it once again.
As he cut it and as booming sounds reverberated in the air, the Crimson Stone was completely cut open, and the strange light within disappeared. When the stone was empty, a wry smile appeared on Su Ming's lips under the mask.
He finally experienced the feeling of his heart pounding, and he also understood the meaning behind Nan Gong Hen's smile at that time.
'I could have sold it for 1,000,000 something Shaman Crystals, but now …' Su Ming sighed in his heart. This sort of treasure gambling could indeed stir up a person's desire.
After failing twice in a row, the people's gazes towards Su Ming became much more normal. In most people's eyes, perhaps Su Ming truly did possess a certain amount of luck.
Even the Grand Elder of the God of Shamans Temple shifted his gaze away from Su Ming.
Su Ming sucked in a deep breath. Once he experienced the excitement of treasure gambling, he still felt that this sort of method where he had a 90% chance of winning was what he liked the most. He lifted his right hand and seized the air, and immediately, the Crimson Stone numbered 949 floated slowly towards him.
As he stared at that Crimson Stone, uncertainty appeared in Su Ming's heart.
He knew very clearly that the thing contained within this Crimson Stone might bring about a shock that would surpass that of the Ghost Spirit Flower, because while the herb within might have withered, there was a poisonous wasp sleeping at its roots, which did not have much life in it!
That poisonous wasp was clearly something from ancient times, and it was difficult to tell just how strong it was. However, Su Ming had heard from Wu Duo and Nan Gong Hen that when Crimson Stones were opened, there would be herbs, enchanted treasures, and all sorts of other things, but there was … no living thing!
His small black humanoid could be considered a living thing, just like the poisonous wasp in the Crimson Stone before him. It was a living thing!
'Since living things are rarer than anything else … Then once I open this stone, I will definitely stir up a storm in this place …' Su Ming swept his gaze past the people beneath him, the people from the eight palaces around him, and even cast a glance at the sullen Grand Elder of the God of Shamans Temple. Then, he averted his gaze and looked at the Crimson Stone.
'I'd like to see just who dares to snatch my item!' A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He, who had a promise with the old man from Nine Yin who could fight against an End Shaman, had absolutely the right to say these words.
He calmed his breathing and prepared himself for the possibility that this place would descend into madness because of the item he opened a moment later. He slowly lifted his hand and pressed it against the Enchanted light ring. Immediately, the light rings intersected with each other and started rubbing against each other.
Su Ming's solemn expression gradually caused the people beneath him to also focus their gazes on him. At that moment, Su Ming had his eyes closed. Under his divine sense, he found that the small black humanoid was not trembling violently. This was in line with Su Ming's judgment towards the small black humanoid. The small humanoid would only react strongly to medicinal herbs.
Most of the herbs in the Crimson Stone had withered by then. Only the roots still had life, which was why the small humanoid's stimulation was much weaker.
However, just as Su Ming was about to cut the stone with the picture at the center of the small humanoid's brows, he was suddenly taken aback, because he saw the small humanoid in the storage bag shrinking its body slightly.
It was shrinking back, not trembling. Su Ming was certain that he had not seen wrongly. Doubts appeared in his heart, but his expression remained as calm as ever. He controlled the light ring to continue rubbing against the stone, and as the speed of the friction increased and a large amount of ash disappeared, Su Ming discovered to his shock that the small humanoid in the storage bag was shrinking once again!
It was shrinking, and it was shrinking out of fear. There was even an expression of pain and terror on the small humanoid's face at that moment. Su Ming looked at the changes in the small humanoid's expression in the mountain rock, and his heart was filled with questions.
Before the Crimson Stone was crushed, the small humanoid could still act normally, but as the Crimson Stone shrank and the item within was slowly revealed, the small humanoid's expression changed.
Su Ming opened his eyes and frowned, but he did not stop controlling the light ring. He only became more cautious, and slowly, when most of the Crimson Stone was rubbed away, the small humanoid's expression turned into one of extreme terror.
A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes, and he decided to just control the light ring to cut the Crimson Stone. All of this immediately caused a large part of the mountain rock to disappear.
At the same time, distorted ripples appeared in the air above the Crimson Stone, and soon after, an indistinct picture appeared in the world!
In that picture was a grass that looked incredibly normal. It had quite a number of long leaves, and it was entirely green. If there was anything different about it, then it would be that there was a golden thread on each of its leaves!
The picture might be indistinct, but the golden thread looked incredibly clear.
The instant that shadow appeared, the crowd underneath burst into an uproar once again. However, this time, that uproar only lasted for a moment before the crowd fell into dead silence.
The reason for that silence was because the Grand Elder of the God of Shamans Temple flew up from the hall for the first time. His hair moved without wind, and there was a grave look on his face that had never appeared before on his face. In fact, there was even a faint hint of excitement on his face that he could not control!
To an old monster who had been training for many years and was already halfway into the End Realm, there were very few things in the world that could make him so excited. Yet at that moment, the old man could not control his emotions!
All of this was because of the illusory picture that appeared in the sky!
"God Spirit Thread … This is a God Spirit Thread Leaf!" Nan Gong Hen mumbled. His expression changed drastically and he let out a cry of surprise. As his voice rang out, Tie Mu also recognized the herb that he had seen in the picture before!
"This … Could this really be a God Spirit Thread Leaf? One of the nine great treasures in the World of Nine Yin, the accompanying leaf of the God Ascension Flower?!"
Wan Qiu's face was also filled with disbelief. She looked at the indistinct picture of the herb in the illusory picture with a dumbfounded expression, and her breathing quickened.
The Celestial Maiden in white shuddered. She looked at the illusory picture, then at Su Ming, and her face instantly turned pale.
Tian Lan Meng frowned. Before she had time to think, a hoarse voice came from behind her, and as that voice spoke, it belonged to Sky Mist's ancestor, who had walked out of the hall for the first time!
"The nine great treasures in the World of Nine Yin are the pictures carved on the back of the stone monument erected in this place in the past. One of them is known as the God Ascension Flower. This flower has a unique characteristic. When it blooms, this accompanying leaf of the Golden Immortal will appear around it. It's also known as the God Spirit Thread Leaf. This God Spirit Thread Leaf is useless … but its appearance means that the nine great treasures are not just rumors. They … are real!" Sky Mist's ancestor's voice echoed in Tian Lan Meng's ears. She could hear the excitement in his voice.
"God Ascension Flower … God Ascension Flower … Legend has it that the nectar of this flower contains the power of a World Plane. If you drink a mouthful of it … your face will never change, and your power will instantly increase exponentially. This speed of growth can allow a mortal to immediately become an Immortal!
"It can allow us cultivators to surpass our Realms and increase our power by leaps and bounds. It can also allow us to sense the power of a World Plane!
"This Crimson Stone, or perhaps the Crimson Stones behind it … might contain the God Ascension Flower, or else this Golden Immortal Thread Leaf wouldn't have appeared out of nowhere!"
"My fellow tribesmen, this stone was bought by Nan Gong Hen of the God of Shamans Temple. If anyone dares to fight against me, then don't blame me for turning against you and killing you. Guards of the God of Shamans, where are you?!" Once the old man saw the illusory picture, he took a huge step forward and a presence that surged into the sky rose from his entire body as he walked towards Su Ming. He did not care about Su Ming at all. He only cared about the people from the other big tribes. As for Su Ming, he was just like an ant in his eyes!
Once he spoke, hundreds of presences erupted forth from the entire Shaman City and turned into long arcs that charged towards this place from all directions in Shaman City. "To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation. "
