The lavishly dressed man sighed and said: "It's better than nothing. Just take it."
The man shook his head vehemently. "A hundred thousand taels is not enough! That's ten lives! Those are my brothers who have fought through life and death with me! How can I ….. How can I ….. If I do not raise the money, I will not be able to give it to their families. How will I be able to face my brothers in the Nine Plains!? "
The man said, trembling with agitation. The pain in his body reminded him of everything that had happened that day.
Eleven of them had descended the Heaven's End Cliff. Eleven of them ….. but only he had survived. His brothers had all been left behind in that horrible place, and not even their bodies could be brought back. If he could not ensure that their families would not have to worry, then he would be worse than a dog!
This piece of black stone, had been soaked in the blood of all eleven of them, and ten of them had risked their lives to get it back.
Eleven of them had descended the Heaven's End Cliff, and only he had made it back alive, along with the stone that had been hauled back up the mountain.
The man could not remember how he had managed to drag the stone back alone. He only knew that his eyes had been covered in tears and blood the entire way.
The lavishly dressed man could only sigh helplessly. That day, he had found the youth covered in blood outside Chan Lin Town. At that time, he had thought that the youth would surely die. The injuries he had sustained could have taken a person's life, but the youth had stubbornly survived.
"We'll just have to wait a little longer." Helpless, the lavishly dressed man had no choice but to wait with the man. But as the person in charge of the Chan Lin Auction House, he knew very well that no matter what was hidden in the stone, it would not be able to be sold.
To the average person, it was just an ordinary piece of stone.
The auction house was still deserted, and no one was interested in paying attention to a piece of stone that was asking for an exorbitant price.
On the second level, Qiao Chu was staring at the piece of black stone with great interest.
"That's strange. There are still people under the Heavens who are willing to sell a stone, and asking for three hundred thousand taels? Has the man gone mad? " He did not know what kind of place the Heaven's End Cliff was, but the starting price for a piece of stone was as high as the Zephyr Academy's tuition fees. Qiao Chu, a pauper who was used to living a hard life, was so shocked his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
"It doesn't matter if he's crazy or not, no one is going to be crazy with him. Can't you see that the people below are completely ignoring that stone?" Fei Yan shrugged his shoulders. Having a keen eye for detail, he had already noticed that the people downstairs were getting impatient. He estimated that it wouldn't be long before this outrageous auction item was carried off the stage.
"I'm just curious. How could someone have the confidence to bring a piece of broken stone to an auction house?" Qiao Chu pursed his lips. They couldn't even afford to eat in the past, so they should at least consider the feelings of the hardworking masses!
"I don't think it's an ordinary stone." Fan Zhuo, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke.
Everyone turned to look at him.
"The things from the Heaven's End Cliff are definitely not ordinary. If my guess is not wrong, that black stone should be Black Jade Stone. Black Jade Stone can be extracted into Black Silver, and Black Silver can be used to forge spirit rings. The effect of the Black Silver is much better than any gold or silver metal. But the Black Jade Stone is extremely hard and hard to cut, but using flames to temper it is possible."
