As soon as Zhang Keren said this, Ye Xin and the others beside Lin Qian tensed up.
Then, a smug expression appeared on Zhang Keren's face. He looked at Lin Qian in front of him. "You are as smart as you are, but you probably didn't think that this was a trap for you, right?"
"Young lads like you are all full of youthful vigor. Seeing me bidding crazily here, you'll definitely increase the price maliciously like I did." As Zhang Keren said this, three breaths of time had passed. The broken longsword now belonged to Lin Qian.
While Zhang Keren was speaking, the Eight-armed Sea Tribe member who was bidding crazily with him stopped talking and looked over with a grin.
"I was wondering why the leader of the Northern Subtribe would increase the price so crazily for a broken sword worth 2,000,000 Intermediate Soul Crystals. It turns out that he was deliberately trying to scam Lin Qian."
"Could there be some grudge between them?"
"That human, Lin Qian, threatened to kill the ally of the leader of the Eastern Subtribe. Isn't that considered a grudge?"
Many onlookers were discussing among themselves and looking at Lin Qian with schadenfreude.
"Damn it, I didn't expect Zhang Keren to set up another trap so quickly!" Zhang Zide said angrily when he saw Zhang Keren's smug smile return.
Li Yunfeng shook his head helplessly and said, "Who would have thought that after being angered to death by Brother Lin just a while ago, he would come up with a way to trick Brother Lin in less than half an incense's time."
23.05 million Upper Soul Crystals was already a fifth of the total funds of the Treasure Gambling Fair. It was not a small amount, but Zhang Keren had scammed it away just like that.
Although he had displeased the other party earlier, it was obvious that the other party had turned the tables.
"I was too careless." Ye Xin frowned as she looked at Zhang Keren. She thought to herself, "I must observe the surroundings carefully to see if Zhang Keren and the Bloodthirsty Temple's people are around. I must not be tricked again."
Zhang Keren smiled proudly and felt extremely happy. Previously, he had been cheated of 10 million Upper Soul Crystals, and now he had caused the other party to lose 20 million Upper Soul Crystals. It was really satisfying.
But gradually, Zhang Keren stopped smiling because he saw that Lin Qian's face did not show any sign of pain. Instead, Lin Qian was looking at him as if he was an idiot.
This feeling made him very uncomfortable.
He had clearly won this round, so why was Lin Qian looking at him as if he was the victor?
"Clan Leader Zhang, it turns out that you deliberately set a price to trick me. You didn't see that the sword hilt was inlaid with a Space Stone?" Lin Qian said in a surprised tone.
"Space Stone?"
As soon as Lin Qian finished his words, exclamations rang out from the surroundings. Everyone's eyes widened in shock.
A Space Stone was a material that was needed for anything related to space.
For example, a high-quality storage ring only needed to grind out a thin layer of Space Stone powder, and it would be enough to improve the stability of the space.
However, a Space Stone the size of a fingernail would cost 50 million Upper Soul Crystals.
The translucent crystal at the bottom of the sword hilt was actually a Space Stone?
If what Lin Qian said was true and that the translucent crystal at the bottom of the sword hilt was really a Space Stone, it would be worth 60 million Upper Soul Crystals.
After listening to Lin Qian's words, Zhang Keren immediately said, obviously not believing what Lin Qian had said. "That's impossible. A Space Stone is a completely transparent crystal. How could a translucent crystal be a Space Stone?"
"I think you said that on purpose to save some face." Zhang Keren said with a magnanimous expression, "If you can sincerely apologize to Vice Sect Leader Wu, I don't mind returning half of the 20 million Upper Soul Crystals to you."
Lin Qian snorted disdainfully at Zhang Keren's suggestion. "Why would I lie to you? If you don't believe me, you can follow me down. I originally planned to sell this Space Stone so that I can have more funds to participate in the treasure gambling event."
After saying that, Lin Qian turned around and left, preparing to head to the counter at the center of the first floor.
Ye Xin and the others also hurriedly followed behind Lin Qian. They also wanted to know if the translucent crystal at the bottom of the sword hilt was a Space Stone or if Lin Qian was talking nonsense.
Not only them, but the other onlookers also followed with the intention to join in the fun. They wanted to see if the translucent crystal at the bottom of the sword hilt was really a Space Stone or if Lin Qian was just making things up.
Seeing a group of people following them, the Eight-Armed Sea Clan member who had pretended to bid with Zhang Keren walked up and asked, "Patriarch, should we also go and take a look?"
Zhang Keren watched the group leave. After pondering for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go, why not? I want to see what ability this kid has to distort the truth and turn an ordinary crystal into a precious Space Stone. "
After saying that, Zhang Keren also followed behind the clansman, ready to see what was going on.
At the same time, the screen at the center of the Treasure Gathering Hall displayed the news that Lin Qian had used 23.05 million Upper Soul Crystals to purchase the broken sword.
The Treasure Gathering Hall had been open for less than half a day. Most people were looking left and right, not in a hurry to buy.
Therefore, this price was considered the highest price in the Treasure Gathering Hall and attracted many people's attention.
Curious people also gathered around the counter. They wanted to see what item was being sold at such a high price.
When they gathered around the counter and saw that Lin Qian had only taken out a broken sword after handing over the Soul Crystals, they all burst into laughter.
Following that, many people also learned about what had happened from the people who had followed Lin Qian down.
Many people could not help but shake their heads at Lin Qian's words. There were even some weapon refiners who said, "As everyone knows, Space Stones will constantly release spatial fluctuations. Therefore, they are usually ground into powder before being used. Directly embedded under the sword hilt? Not to mention harming the enemy, this kind of soul weapon will cause violent spatial fluctuations when infused with soul power. I'm afraid it will harm the user first. "
Lin Qian turned a deaf ear to the crowd's discussion. Under everyone's gazes, he handed the broken sword in his hand to the best appraiser in the counter.
This appraiser was the person who had received the items that Lin Qian and the others had found in Houhai Street.
The appraiser who recognized Lin Qian also gave him a kind smile. Soul power condensed into a thin layer that covered his hands. He held the broken sword in front of his eyes and carefully observed it.
After a long time, the appraiser put down the broken sword with a regretful expression and said to Lin Qian, "I'm afraid that little friend has made a mistake this time. Even if this broken sword is repaired, it will only be worth a million mid-grade soul crystals."
"Hahaha, what a joke. He actually said that the sword hilt is embedded with a Space Stone." Hearing the appraiser's words, Zhang Keren burst into laughter.
Standing beside Lin Qian, Ye Xin gently placed her hand on the former's shoulder, "Little Qian, it's fine."
Lin Qian smiled at Ye Xin and slowly shook his head, indicating that he was fine.
Afterwards, Lin Qian ignored Zhang Keren and looked at the appraiser in front of him. He smiled and said, "Master, you can't just rely on soul power and eyes to observe. At the same time, you need to be able to imagine."
