There were many strange items on the fourth floor of the Precious Treasures Pavilion. There was a large stone slab that floated a meter in the air, emitting a weak green light. It was able to float in the air without the help of anything, so it was obvious that it was not an ordinary item.
On top of a fiery-red stone platform, there was a pile of iron sand the size of an adult's fist. The iron sand was pitch-black and emitted a black flame that burned slowly. It did not use any fuel and would emit flames as soon as it came into contact with air. As long as there was air, the flame would never be extinguished.
There were also many strange crystals that emitted a precious light and a few ceramic items that were obviously very old.
Although there were not as many people on the fourth floor as there were on the first floor, there were still twenty or so people in luxurious clothes strolling around. They looked around and picked out items that interested them.
Jianchen followed the Sword Spirits' senses and passed through the various booths before finally stopping at the center. There were many glowing stones on the booths in front of him. The small ones were the size of a thumb while the large ones were the size of an adult's fist. They emitted a weak light, like luminous pearls. However, they were not luminous pearls, but rather strange stones. Many of them even gave off a weak pulse of energy.
Jian Chen's gaze landed on a thumb-sized gemstone in the end. The gemstone was completely round and shone with a faint, multicolored light. It was covered in a layer of strange inscriptions, which was extremely eye-catching.
Jianchen knew that this multicolored gem was the reason why the Sword Spirits were so excited. It was definitely not an ordinary item.
Jianchen called over the manager of the fourth floor of the Precious Treasures Pavilion and inquired about the price of the gem.
The manager of the fourth floor was an old man with white hair. Although he was old, his eyes were very bright, like two resplendent stars. The manager quickly looked over Jianchen and said with a professional smile, "Young master, you really have good eyes. You can actually tell that this gem is not ordinary. This type of gem is known as the Five Colored Stone. Although the gem you're looking at is very small, it's price is much higher than other gems of the same type. It's priced at fifteen thousand purple coins."
Jianchen gasped and almost couldn't help but cry out. This price was just too expensive. It was ridiculously expensive.
Seeing Jianchen's expression, the old man knew that Jianchen was also shocked by the price. He chuckled and explained, "Young master, don't look down on this Five Colored Stone. This Five Colored Stone is very extraordinary. Although I don't know what kind of gem it is or what use it has, it's definitely worth the price."
Jian Chen sucked in a deep breath and slowly calmed himself down. He stared at the thumb-sized rock and studied it carefully. He asked, "Sir, tell me what's so special about this rock."
"Then let me introduce it to young master." The old man cleared his throat and said, "Let's not talk about the auspicious light emitted by this multicolored stone. Just this stone itself is very charming. It looks like it's only the size of a finger, but it's very hard. No tool can leave even the slightest mark on it. Moreover, this multicolored stone's weight changes according to the weather. It's really a divine stone."
Jianchen's interest was piqued. He asked with some doubt, "It changes according to the weather? Mister, can you explain it in more detail?"
The manager of the fourth floor of the Precious Treasure Pavilion chuckled and said, "Young Master, although this multicolored stone has only been transported to Walaurent for a few days, it has been displayed in many branches of the Precious Treasure Pavilion before, so we've already figured out some of its charm."
"When the weather is clear, this Five Colored Stone will emit a faint Five Colored Light, just like how it is now. When the weather becomes bad and it rains heavily, this Five Colored Stone will emit a dazzling light that can light up the entire Precious Treasure Pavilion. However, you must be careful not to let the Five Colored Stone touch even the slightest bit of water. Otherwise, it will instantly become as heavy as ten thousand kilograms. People who aren't strong enough won't be able to pick it up at all. "
"Oh, is it really that magical?" Jianchen's face was full of disbelief as he questioned.
At this moment, the other people on the fourth floor of the Precious Treasure Pavilion heard the introduction of the Five Colored Stone. They were all attracted and gathered around.
"It's absolutely true. There's nothing false about it!" The old man nodded affirmatively and continued, "Because in the past, this Five Colored Stone suddenly became as heavy as ten thousand kilograms when it came into contact with water. When it fell to the ground, it immediately sank to a depth of a thousand meters. In the end, our Precious Treasure Pavilion hired a peerless expert to suck it out of the ground with great difficulty."
"Is this for real? It actually sunk hundreds of meters deep into the ground …"
"It's most likely a lie. I don't believe it …"
"What kind of person has enough power to suck out a small stone that sank to a depth of a few hundred meters …"
Before Jianchen could speak, the surrounding people all had looks of disbelief on their faces.
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not. With our Precious Treasure Pavilion's reputation, we wouldn't stoop to making up such a lie." Everyone's doubts made the manager of the fourth floor of the Precious Treasure Pavilion very unhappy.
"I didn't think this stone would be so magical. I'm interested in it too. Old Mister, I'll buy this Five Colored Stone." Jianchen smiled and said.
Jianchen's action startled Jianchen. Ming Dong tugged at Jianchen's clothes and said anxiously, "Jianchen, are you crazy? No matter how magical this stone is, it's not worth spending so much money on it."
Jianchen smiled and said to Ming Dong, "I have my reasons for buying it."
"But … the stone is wondrous, but it costs fifteen thousand purple coins. Isn't that too expensive?" Ming Dong felt that it was not worth it.
"Young Master, may I ask if you really want to spend 15,000 purple coins to buy this multicolored stone?" The manager of the fourth floor of the Precious Treasure Pavilion stared at Jian Chen in shock. This Five Colored Stone was indeed very miraculous. Many people had once paid close attention to it, but the ridiculously expensive price had stopped all of them. As a result, this strange Five Colored Stone had only arrived at the Precious Treasure Pavilion branch in Walaurent City after a few transfers.
Jianchen directly took out a purple card and said, "Mister, I'll buy this Five Colored Stone."
Seeing the purple card in Jianchen's hand, the manager finally believed that Jianchen wasn't joking. He immediately took the card from Jianchen's hand with a smile and said, "Mister, you are truly bold. This Five Colored Stone has floated through many branches of our Precious Treasure Pavilion for several decades. Today, it has finally found an owner."
Afterwards, the manager immediately sent someone to invite someone from a bank over. After swiping 15 thousand purple coins from the purple card, the Five Colored Stone officially belonged to Jianchen.
Jianchen picked up the Five Colored Stone that was only the size of a thumb and examined it carefully. The stone only seemed to weigh a few hundred grams in his hand. It was hard to imagine that such a small stone would instantly become as heavy as ten thousand kilograms once it touched water.
"The world is so vast. There really is nothing that is too strange." Jianchen could only sigh inside.
Suddenly, the sword spirits in Jianchen's dantian trembled. At the same time, the Five Colored Stone in Jianchen's hand seemed to change because of the sword spirits. A dense, five-colored light radiated from the finger-sized stone, illuminating the entire fourth floor of the Precious Treasure Pavilion. The light filled the sky as if it was an auspicious sign. Enveloped by the light, everyone felt that their minds had become incomparably clear at this moment. It was as if at this moment, their mental strength had become a bit stronger than before.
"Heavens, what's going on …"
"This is an auspicious light. This stone must be an impressive treasure …"
"This wondrous stone is not simple. It probably has a great background. Sigh, I should have bought it earlier."
"I really was blind. I actually missed such a treasure …"
The people on the fourth floor of the Precious Treasure Pavilion immediately burst into an uproar. Various discussions intertwined, causing the originally quiet space to be covered by a clamor. Everyone was excitedly discussing and secretly regretting that they didn't have Jianchen's insight. They actually missed such a treasure. There were even quite a few people who looked at the glowing stone in Jianchen's hand with greed.
"This … this … this … what's going on?" The manager of the fourth floor of the Precious Treasure Pavilion was also stunned by the scene before him. Their pavilion had kept this stone for several decades. During that time, countless people had studied it, but they had never seen a situation like this. This was the first time it had happened.
Even when there was a downpour, the light from the Five Colored Stone was not as intense. Moreover, he could clearly feel that this light was not normal.
"Could it be that this stone is really fated with this young master? All these years, many people wanted this stone, but they all gave up because of its high price. Only this young master didn't even frown and bought it. "The manager of the fourth floor of the Precious Treasure Pavilion mumbled to himself. Right now, this was the only explanation that made sense.
Jianchen was also shocked by the light emitted by the Five Colored Stone. When he reacted, he immediately put the stone back into his interspatial ring. Following the disappearance of the Five Colored Stone, the light that lit up the entire fourth floor of the Precious Treasure Pavilion also disappeared.
Even though the light disappeared, some people on the fourth floor of the Precious Treasure Pavilion had yet to recover from their shock.
"When the light shone on me, I felt so comfortable. My mind was especially clear." After a while, a middle aged man wearing a luxurious robe was the first to recover from his shock. He mumbled to himself.
"That's right. I also feel that my mind is much clearer than before."
"Oh my god, this can't be real. My mental energy is actually stronger than before."
After that, the rest of the people also recovered from their shock. When they discovered the changes in their bodies, they couldn't hide the shock and joy on their faces. They couldn't help but cry out uncontrollably.
"This is bad!" Seeing everyone's reaction, Jianchen immediately had a bad feeling. He immediately pulled Ming Dong downstairs, not wanting to stay here for a moment longer.
