The Golden Testing Hand is a very mysterious technique. Though it is not famous, it is definitely powerful.
Just like its name suggests, this technique is used to test for treasures.
When a stone with a hidden treasure is found, the user's hand will light up. The brighter the light, the better the treasure.
Just now, Ling Xian had found a strange stone with hidden treasures inside.
Even though it was black and full of potholes, it looked just like a broken stone that could be found anywhere. However, it made the Golden Testing Hand emit a bright light.
Though it wasn't as bright as the Sun, it was still dazzling.
This meant there was a treasure inside this stone, and it wasn't an ordinary treasure.
At least, he hasn't found a stone that could compare to this one.
Therefore, Ling Xian softly smiled, "I will take it."
"Young man, look closely, this stone …" The owner frowned. He didn't say it out loud, but everyone knew what he meant.
"Don't worry, I want it."
Ling Xian brandished his hand and asked, "How many spiritual stones?"
"It's free, it's yours." The owner was helpless. He wasn't a professional stone dealer, so he didn't want to con Ling Xian.
To him, this stone was a useless stone and he wanted to throw it away a long time ago. The reason why he put it out was because he was careless.
"It's free?" Ling Xian was a little startled.
"It's a useless stone. It's not worth much." The owner reminded.
"I see." Ling Xian shook his head and chuckled. He believed in the abilities of the Golden Testing Hand. A useless stone cannot make it shine.
"Young lad, listen to my advice and choose a new piece," the stall owner advised kindly.
"Thank you. But, it's not a useless stone."
Ling Xian faintly grinned. After some thought, he took out a finger sized stone from his storage pouch.
Though the owner didn't want money, he didn't want to get into a fight after he gets something good. Therefore, he tossed the stone to the owner and said, "It's a token of my appreciation. Take it."
"I …" The owner froze. Everyone froze as well.
Stones of space were rare treasures. This one was worth at least five million spiritual stones. Therefore, everyone thought Ling Xian was crazy. Using five million spiritual stones to buy a useless stone, how stupid was that?
What they didn't know was that Ling Xian had two tons of Stone of Space and didn't care about a small one.
He didn't buy useless stones. He believed that the treasures inside would be several times more valuable than the five million Spirit Stones!
"Alright, since you've made up your mind, I won't say anything more." The stall owner pondered for a moment before putting the Space Stone into his bag.
At this, Ling Xian shifted his gaze towards Wen Longyuan, "It's your turn."
"Are you sure you want to choose this piece of trash?" Wen Longyuan smiled and said, "I can give it to you once. Go and exchange it for another piece."
"There's no need. You choose what you want." Ling Xian glared at him.
"How stupid." Wen Longyuan smiled playfully.
"Whether I am stupid or not, I will only know after I cut it open." Ling Xian's expression was calm and unmoved.
"Indeed, no matter how bad the appearance of a strange stone is, it is possible to cut out a shocking divine object. However, the prerequisite is that it is not a useless stone."
Wen Longyuan's eyes were filled with mockery as he said, "As for the one in your hand, it is a useless rock, a completely useless rock."
"Waste rock?" Ling Xian shook his head with a smile. He didn't know what was hidden inside this rock, but he was certain that there were treasures inside.
"That's right. This is a useless rock. Young man, don't pretend to be calm. You don't know anything about strange stones."
"I have already used my secret technique to check it out. Calling it a useless rock is flattering it."
"I have seen it as well. This is a rock that can be found anywhere. You are spending five million spiritual stones on a useless rock. How laughable."
Everyone chimed in. Their voices were full of mockery.
Though strange stones cannot be judged by their appearance, no matter how bumpy a stone is, it is still possible for it to be a heavenly treasure. However, they have all used their secret techniques to check it out. There wasn't even a trace of unusual Qi, let alone the vibrations of treasures.
This was enough to prove that it was a piece of useless rock through and through.
"Like I said, you will only know after you cut it open," Ling Xian said softly without wavering at all.
This made everyone mutter. They felt like Ling Xian was far too calm. Without absolute confidence, it would be hard for him to be this calm. Therefore, they were a little shaken. But very quickly, they regained their determination.
Wen Longyuan was the same.
He had used his strongest technique to check it multiple times to confirm that it was a useless rock.
"There is no need to pretend to be calm. No matter how calm you act, you cannot change the fact that this is a useless rock." Wen Longyuan mocked.
"Stop wasting time. Hurry up and choose." Ling Xian glared at Wen Longyuan.
"Since you want to lose face quickly, then I will fulfill your wish." Wen Longyuan teased and began to pick out the stones.
Seeing this, everyone stared at him. They wanted to see how this legendary genius would pick out the stones.
Only Mei Yan Rou was an exception. She walked before Ling Xian and said, "You are too reckless."
"Why not?" Ling Xian grinned.
Hearing this, Mei Yan Rou was a little startled. Then, she shook her head and laughed.
It wasn't a sarcastic laugh. She simply thought that Ling Xian was an interesting person.
"Wen Longyuan is the most talented descendant of the Wen Clan. Whether it's his cultivation level or his knowledge of stones, he is extraordinary."
Mei Yan Rou shook her head, "You shouldn't have bet on stones with him."
"But I have already made my bet." Ling Xian grinned, "Alright, be patient and watch."
Then, he shifted his gaze towards Wen Longyuan.
Seeing this, Mei Yan Rou didn't say anything else. She too, looked at Wen Longyuan, who was casting a spell.
He formed a hand seal and chanted an incantation. As if he had opened his eyes, he scanned all the stones on the table.
"If I'm not wrong, then this is the Wen Clan's secret technique, the Eye of Insight."
"That's right. Legend has it that once this technique is activated, all the treasures inside the stone will be revealed."
"Haha, Master Wen is too careful. He can win any stone he picks."
"That is true. But as the saying goes, even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit. Master Wen's actions are a role model for us."
Everyone discussed. Other than compliments, there was also satisfaction.
What they didn't know was that Wen Longyuan was not as cautious as a lion. The reason he did this was to show off and to make Ling Xian lose face.
"Not a bad technique. Sadly, it's not good enough."
Ling Xian's expression was calm. He could tell right away that Wen Longyuan could only sense and not see inside the stone.
"This is it!"
Wen Longyuan's eyes exploded with light. Then, he laughed out loud, full of joy.
It was obvious that he was very satisfied with this stone.
Seeing this, everyone's spirits lifted and they all asked him to cut open the stone.
"I will cut it open now." Wen Longyuan looked at Ling Xian proudly and completed the trade with the stall owner.
Then, he pointed a finger and the stone immediately cracked open.
In the next second, red light engulfed the area. Like the Sun at noon, it was blinding to the extreme.
Among the heavenly light, the Blood Immortal Gold floated up and down. Though it was only the size of a fingernail, it was similar to the weapon of the God of Immortals.
It was one of the nine supreme immortal gold, the Scarlet Burning Immortal Gold!
Everyone fell into a state of shock. Their eyes widened with shock and passion.
