News of what happened at Chuyue's gambling den spread like wildfire, shocking the entire city.
A sloppy gambler by the name of Xue Yu had a bet of one hundred thousand Martial Crystals with Xu Han, a disciple of the Xu Clan, who had been famous for a long time. In the end, a Spirit Crystal worth three hundred thousand Martial Crystals was obtained by using an ore worth one hundred and twenty thousand gold coins, shocking the entire city!
Quite a number of people in Nephrite Evil Ancient City were able to open spirit crystals. They would open one every few years, and sometimes several times in a single year.
However, those were the expensive, high-grade raw materials. This time, it was a scorched stone! He'd actually chosen a scorched stone and obtained a spirit crystal!
Scorched stones were definitely the best of the best, but it was precisely this kind of worthless waste that had yielded an unimaginable spirit crystal.
This kind of thing was simply unbelievable, but he really did exist!
"It's so hard to lose even once!"
This was his slogan. There was no lack of people from earth-rank stone families present at the time, but because of Xu Han's defeat, none of them dared to accept the challenge.
This was the most cowardly time they'd ever been!
Now, whether Xue Yu possessed extraordinary strength or pure luck became a point of doubt. Therefore, those who had been tempted to cause trouble calmed down. No one was willing to use the hundred thousand martial crystals to stand out.
If they lost, not only would they lose the martial crystals, but they would also be scolded for being useless. Even if they won, it wouldn't matter much, because Xue Yu hadn't revealed his eye technique.
What would they gain by winning against someone who didn't have an eye technique like the stone?
Whether they won or lost, the loss outweighed the gain!
...
Along the way, Fenghao and Wang Kang were also chatting and laughing, chatting happily.
Very quickly, a large palace appeared in front of Fenghao's eyes. It was not as magnificent as those stone gambling dens, but it had an ancient charm to it. That indescribable feeling was like a clear spring in the forest, flowing into one's heart, causing one's entire body to feel refreshed.
"What a Tianwu Auction House!"
Feng Hao's eyes flickered when he saw the plaque hanging above the palace.
These characters were extremely unordinary, as if dragons and phoenixes were dancing about. There was a great boldness flowing within, as if it could encompass the entire continent. It was extremely shocking!
It could be imagined that the person who wrote these words must have an extraordinary cultivation base.
Invisibly, this plaque was actually a deterrent to experts of a certain level!
"Hehe, Brother Xue, this way please!"
The strange look in Feng Hao's eyes naturally did not escape Wang Kang's eyes. The corners of the former's mouth slightly curled. With a smile on his face, he led Feng Hao into the Tianwu Auction House.
"Steward Wang!"
Along the way, everyone they met bowed and greeted Wang Kang respectfully, while the latter only nodded slightly.
From this, it could be seen that this Wang Kang was quite an influential figure in the Tianwu Auction House.
"Yo, isn't this our Steward Wang?"
As he walked, a pale-faced young man walked towards him. When he saw Wang Kang, the corners of his mouth curled into a playful smile as he called out in a strange tone.
"Steward Sun!"
When he saw this person, the smile on Wang Kang's face slowly disappeared, and his voice also became somewhat gloomy.
It was obvious that he was not very fond of this Steward Sun.
"Tsk tsk, I say, Steward Wang, did you run out in a hurry just for this person?"
The man with the surname Sun scanned Feng Hao from head to toe. When he saw that Feng Hao was dressed in coarse cloth, a disdainful look appeared in his eyes. As he spoke, the disdain at the corners of his mouth became even more obvious.
"That's right!"
When he thought of Feng Hao, Wang Kang's expression instantly became much better.
If there really was a unique treasure that could surpass the Spirit Crystals, then he would be able to turn the tables around among the stewards.
"Heh!"
The man snorted disdainfully. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Kang. "I say, Steward Wang, don't you understand the simplest principle? No matter how much rubbish there is, it is still rubbish. It cannot be made up with quantity. I think you are getting worse and worse. This year's performance will be at the bottom!"
In his opinion, Feng Hao was dressed shabbily, so he was definitely not the kind of person who could hide a unique treasure. As long as Wang Kang did not purchase a unique treasure, then it would not be a threat to him.
No matter how many ordinary items there were, they could never compare to the influence of a unique treasure.
"Heh heh, it's not bad to be at the bottom once in a while. As long as you don't be at the bottom for a few years in a row, it's fine."
Wang Kang smiled slightly and looked at him mockingly.
"You! …"
The man's face darkened. He pointed at Wang Kang and glared angrily. He was obviously infuriated because he had been at the bottom for two years in a row. This time, he was lucky and finally made a comeback.
When he thought of the unique treasure he purchased, the anger on the man's face quickly disappeared and he said with a sinister smile. "Tsk tsk, the current Wang Kang is no longer the previous Wang Kang. You only know how to talk big. I heard that you didn't even purchase a single unique treasure this year. Isn't this performance too shabby?Do you want me to give you one? "
"Thank you for your kindness, Steward Sun, but there's no need!"
Although Wang Kang still had a smile on his face, his eyes had turned cold and his words were cold.
"Heh heh!Then Steward Wang, work hard. Sigh … I just bought a piece of high-grade Odd Crystal and I'm really tired. I'm going to rest for a while. "
After showing off for a while, he slowly left in satisfaction.
"I've let Brother Xue see a joke."
Turning his body, Wang Kang spoke to Fenghao with a faint bitter smile on his face.
"Hehe, this kind of person is everywhere. Why do you have to lower yourself to his level, Brother Wang?"
Hearing the conversation between the two, Feng Hao roughly understood what was going on. However, the smile on his face became even wider, so much so that Wang Kang's heart skipped a beat.
"Haha!Brother Xue is really open-minded. I admit that I'm not as good as you. "
Wang Kang laughed heartily and cupped his hands at Feng Hao. A strange light flashed in his eyes.
He realized that he couldn't understand this young man more and more. He gave away a unique treasure worth hundreds of thousands of martial crystals, but he dressed simply and didn't look luxurious at all. He looked like an ordinary commoner. And now, his attitude towards him didn't change because of his identity. It seemed that there weren't many things in this world that could affect his temperament.
"It's impossible for such a person to have such a low cultivation level, right?"
Wang Kang was puzzled.
At this moment, Feng Hao looked like he was about 30 years old, but his cultivation level was only at the Martial Ancestor Second Viscera. Wang Kang couldn't figure this out.
Even if his talent was low, with his hundreds of thousands of martial crystals, he should be able to reach the level of a Martial Ancestor, right?
As he spoke, he brought Feng Hao into a VIP room.
