"Not necessarily. What's the rush? It's only one-third of the way through."
"Usually, things will be in the center. It's still early."
"If it's in the center, doesn't that mean that even if it's a treasure, it's very small?"
"Could it be that it's a loss?"
"What do you know!" Someone sneered. "Treasures aren't judged by their size."
"A divine crystal the size of a fingernail or 50 kilograms of ordinary crystals. Which one do you choose?"
Hearing this, many people stopped talking.
Even if it was a divine crystal the size of a fingernail, its value and energy were definitely incomparable to ordinary crystals.
Legend had it that divine crystals contained mysterious power and were extremely mysterious.
The green-robed middle-aged man naturally knew this, so even if there was no light after one-third of the way through, he could still remain calm.
His palm was very steady as he slowly cut off the stone's skin.
However, the green-robed middle-aged man soon broke out in a cold sweat, and even his expression became very ugly.
That was because he had already cut half of the way through, but there was still no light.
This meant that he might have misjudged, and this stone might be a useless stone.
Not only him, but the surrounding people also began to discuss.
"It's already halfway through, and there's still no light. This time, it should be a useless stone."
Those who believed firmly before were also shaken because, under normal circumstances, treasures would be in the center of the stone.
However, now that there was no light, it meant that there was no treasure.
At this moment, they could no longer find a reason to think that the stone in front of them was a treasure.
Lin Xuan's expression was calm. He knew that there was definitely a crystal in this stone, but the other party had cut it in the wrong place.
However, at this moment, another person spoke.
It was an old man with gray hair and a hooked nose. He gave off a gloomy and cold feeling.
He said in a deep voice, "Fellow cultivator, it's already halfway. Do you still want to cut it? If you don't want to continue, I'll buy this stone for 15 kilograms of crystals. What do you think?"
Hearing this, the surrounding people were in an uproar. It was already a useless stone, but someone still wanted to buy it. Could it be that there was something fishy about this stone?
For a moment, many people were tempted.
However, the gray-haired old man just snorted coldly, and an extremely powerful aura surged from his body, intimidating everyone.
Feeling this terrifying aura, many people shut their mouths.
As for the grey-haired old man, he looked to the front and asked, "What do you think?"
The green-robed middle-aged man pondered for a moment and then shook his head. "No need, I'll continue."
To be honest, he was very confident in his Spirit-seeking Technique. He clearly felt that this stone contained a huge amount of spiritual power.
There must be a treasure inside, but why couldn't it be cut out?
Moreover, he had only cut half of it. He had seen some treasures under the stones before.
Therefore, he would not give up or admit defeat until the very last moment.
Seeing that the other party was still persisting, the gray-haired elder harrumphed coldly before retreating back into the crowd.
The middle-aged man with the green bump waved his arm again.
The black dagger seemed to have turned into a poisonous snake, swallowing and spitting out light as it continued to cut the stone.
Crack crack!
In the end, the half-meter-tall rock was cut in half, but no crystal appeared.
Everyone shook their heads and sighed.
After all, he had spent 150 kilograms of crystal stones to buy this stone. Now that he had nothing to cut out, he was naturally losing money.
The grey-haired old man sneered with a hint of schadenfreude.
"Impossible, my senses can't be wrong!"
"There must be a crystal stone inside!"
The green-robed man could not accept this situation. Then, he waved the dagger in his hand and two black rays of light shot out.
Like the Styx River, they slashed towards the stone. Once again, the stone that had been cut in half was cut into four halves.
However, there was still nothing to be seen.
Seeing this, his expression was very ugly.
He did not expect that he would make a mistake on his first try. This was not good news for him.
Old Man Gudu heaved a sigh of relief because this thing was originally bought by Lin Xuan. Fortunately, it was snatched away by someone else.
Otherwise, if Lin Xuan bought it, he would definitely waste 50 kilograms of crystal stones.
The dark red dragon was also surprised. He knew Lin Xuan's strength, but he did not expect that there was nothing inside.
Therefore, he asked, "Kid, what's going on? Did you make a mistake too?"
Lin Xuan shook his head slightly. "I didn't make a mistake. There are indeed crystals inside, and there are quite a lot of them."
"However, he cut in the wrong place."
"The crystals are in the lower left and upper right corner. He didn't touch those two places at all."
"I see."
The dark red dragon understood. It turned out that the green-robed middle-aged man was quite pitiful.
However, at that moment, Lin Xuan spoke up. "Fellow Daoist, I'll pay you 10 Nephrite Crystals for these rocks. Are you willing to sell them to me?"
"What? Someone else made a bid?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned and revealed a look of disbelief.
"These are useless stones. The ones underground are even more worthless. Why would someone buy them? Is there something wrong with his brain?"
"Or is he too rich and has nowhere to spend it?"
"It's that kid again. He wanted to buy this stone before, but he didn't get it."
"Now he wants the fragments of those useless stones. What is he trying to do?"
"Who knows? He's probably a rich second-generation heir. He has a lot of crystals and can spend them however he wants!"
Discussions broke out one after another. However, everyone thought that Lin Xuan must be out of his mind to buy a piece of scrap rock that had been cut off.
In the crowd, even the gray-haired old man from before sneered.
Previously, he thought that the stone might still contain treasures, but now that it had been cut in half, how could there be any treasures?
Now that someone had made a bid, it was purely a waste of crystals.
The green-robed middle-aged man was also surprised, but he still nodded and agreed. After all, if he could get back 10 catties of crystals, it would be less of a loss.
Seeing that the other party had agreed, Lin Xuan ignored the others' words and gave the other party 10 crystals.
Then, he waved his hand and put away the four pieces of gravel on the ground.
"He really bought it!"
"No way, is he out of his mind?"
"Who knows? Ignore this kid. He's probably a hothead who doesn't know anything."
Everyone shook their heads and ignored him. Instead, they looked at the other stones.
Lin Xuan, on the other hand, was very satisfied. These people actually dared to mock him. What idiots!
This time, he had made a huge bargain.
The crystals inside were about 75 to 60 catties, so he was willing to buy the 100 catties.
However, he wouldn't buy the 150 catties.
That was because there was no profit to be made.
Now, however, he had only spent 10 catties of crystals and bought 150 to 10 catties of crystals.
Among them, he had earned more than 140 catties of crystals for free!
