Li Mu continued to observe without batting an eyelid.
The golden light inside the Primordial Stone was extremely rich, beautiful and dazzling, like a small sun, intoxicating.
He looked at it for a while but couldn't figure it out, so he looked up and asked, "Boss, what's the price of this Primordial Stone?"
The mysterious black-cloaked boss didn't even raise his head and said, "Five silver-quality crystals."
When the people around heard the price, they were all shocked.
Especially those who had just observed the Primordial Stone, they all sneered.
A young man dressed in noble clothes sneered and said, "Five silver-quality fairy crystals for such a lousy stone? Haha, only a fool will buy it. "
Li Mu was speechless.
"How could he be so mean?"
He took out five silver-quality fairy crystals and said, "I'll buy it."
There was another gasp around. Many people looked at Li Mu as if they were looking at a fool. Even if he had money, he couldn't spend it like this. It was too wasteful.
The young man was stunned. He looked at Li Mu and chuckled, "It turns out that there are really fools in this world."
Ding Yi couldn't stand it anymore and said, "You're the fool. What if there is an immortal seed in this Primordial Stone? Young man, don't be too presumptuous. "
The young man said with a look of contempt, "I've asked Master Shi to see that lousy stone just now. It's just a waste stone. It's not even as valuable as a copper-colored fairy crystal. Isn't that right, Master Shi?"
Beside him stood an old man with dark skin, a slightly stout figure, arms as long as an ape's and hanging down to his knees. His knuckles were thick, and his hands were like dustpans. At first glance, he looked like an old farmer who had been exposed to the wind and the sun. But if one observed him carefully, they would find that he had a temperament as deep as an abyss.
This old man who looked like an old farmer was Master Shi, an experienced Primordial Stone master. He was hired as a consultant by the young man to choose Primordial Stones in the market.
"Yes, the skin is rough and thick, and the star patterns are messy. It's a typical 'waste stone'. It's definitely a waste stone." Master Shi nodded and said.
"Haha, did you hear that? If you don't believe me, you can open it on the spot. If you can find an immortal seed, I'll swim in a manure pond for you. "The young man laughed and taunted Li Mu for no reason.
Li Mu took a meaningful look at the young man.
He was really ruthless to himself.
Li Mu handed the Primordial Stone to the stall owner and said, "Master, please help me cut it open." He wanted to know what the ball of golden light that looked like a small sun was.
Generally speaking, vendors who sold raw gemstones would offer stone-cutting services as a bonus.
The black-cloaked vendor calmly took the raw stone and asked without raising his head, "How do you want to cut it?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "You have experience. You can do whatever you want."
The black-cloaked vendor looked up at Li Mu and said, "You'd better think it through. Once it's opened, it's a waste stone, and your five silver-colored fairy crystals will be in vain."
Before Li Mu could speak, the young master said proudly, "Did you see that? The stall owner has advised you. Haha, fool, I advise you not to cut the stone. Keep it as a souvenir. In the future, when you see this stone, you will remember that you have been tricked, and maybe you won't be so prodigal."
At this time, Ding Yi was no longer confident.
After all, the senior stone-cutting master had said that it was a waste stone. He just said those words out of anger. He had no knowledge of stone-cutting at all, and he was also convinced that Li Mu was also a rookie in this aspect. The probability of a blind cat running into a dead mouse was too low.
"Why don't we go back and cut it?" He looked at Li Mu.
Li Mu didn't want to talk to him, so he directly said to the stall owner, "No, please help me to cut it."
The stall owner nodded and no longer tried to persuade him.
In his palm, there was a flash of light, and a seemingly inconspicuous stone box appeared. When he opened the stone box, there was a flow of treasure light, and a three-inch-long fin-shaped stone knife was quietly placed in it. The treasure light came from this fin-shaped stone knife.
When Master Shi saw this knife, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Interstellar miners had been working with ore and mineral resources all their lives. They often needed to cut open ores, dig up Earthveins, search for mineral resources, and judge the quality of the mineral resources. The speed of tools such as stone-cutting knives, shovels, and mining needles determined the strength of a miner. Master Shi could tell that this fin-shaped stone knife was definitely not an ordinary one.
The black-cloaked stall owner held the fin-shaped stone knife in his hand, and his whole person naturally exuded a kind of solemn air. He put the Primordial Stone on the stone-cutting table in front of him and then began to cut it.
At this time, the stall was already crowded with people.
In a short period of time, the news that someone had spent a huge sum of five silver-colored fairy crystals to buy a piece of waste stone had spread. Many people gathered around the stall, wanting to see what kind of person such a fool was. They also wanted to see what kind of expression the fool, who had a lot of money, would have when the waste stone was unraveled and proved to be a waste.
"Swish!"
The black-cloaked stall owner cut it open.
Many people held their breath.
Ding Yi directly covered his eyes.
Li Mu's face was indifferent.
The Primordial Stone was divided into two. A ray of golden light erupted from the fault, just like the golden morning sun rising from the eastern horizon in the early morning. The dazzling golden light even made people a little unable to open their eyes.
"Gosh!"
"Golden … Could it be a golden crystal?"
"My God, it's a real golden crystal. The quality of a gold-colored fairy crystal. This … How is this possible? It's obviously a piece of waste stone. How could there be a golden crystal in it?"
"I've made a fortune. One piece of gold is worth 100 pieces of silver, and one piece of silver is worth 100 pieces of copper. The golden crystal in this Primordial Stone is enough to be divided into two or three gold-colored fairy crystals. I've made more than a hundred times the profit."
"This shouldn't be possible."
There was a burst of incredulous exclamations around.
Those onlookers who were waiting to watch the fun could not believe what they saw. They rubbed their eyes over and over again and looked carefully. Inside the Primordial Stone that had been cut open, there was indeed a fist-sized golden crystal. The veins were natural, the color was clear, and the color was like a dream. It was definitely the raw material of a gold-colored fairy crystal, and it was a top-grade one among the gold-colored fairy crystals.
Pairs of eyes were shining with passion and greed.
This was a real fortune.
The young master, however, was dumbfounded in an instant.
It was as if he had been slapped in the face more than a dozen times with the soles of a shoe stained with dog shit. The smile on his face froze.
He looked at Master Shi beside him, a little dumbfounded.
Master Shi was also in a daze after the extreme shock. He cried out involuntarily, "No, it can't be. It's a fake waste stone. How could there be a real fairy crystal in it? What … what's going on? "
The regret and chagrin of missing out on the gold-colored fairy crystal Primordial Stone and the blow of his professional judgment were mixed together, which made it hard for him to accept.
Ding Yi's expression was not much better than that of the others.
"There … There's a gold-colored fairy crystal inside just like that?"
He felt that it was unreal and looked at Li Mu.
"His luck came too suddenly, didn't it?"
However, Li Mu's face was not very surprised, which made Ding Yi understand that the Sect Master did not speak without thinking. He should have sensed something before, so he wanted this Primordial Stone.
The crowd in the surroundings was like boiling water, making an uproar. All sorts of discussions mixed together, forming a wave that spread to every corner of the market.
The chief disciple of the Gold Sun Sect, who was in charge of the market order, also soon noticed the change and figured out the whole story.
"Go, report to the elder. There's a gold-colored fairy crystal. The last time such a thing happened was more than ten years ago. It's a gold-colored fairy crystal! "An elite disciple of the Gold Sun Sect, who was in charge of the market order, sighed.
…
The news reached the headquarters of the Gold Sun Sect in Gold Town.
"Haha, these two fat sheep are so lucky that they got gold-colored fairy crystals?" A tall, thin, horse-faced man sat at the table and listened to the report with a smile. There was a trace of joy on his face.
"Elder Zhou, it's absolutely true. Now the news has spread in the market. We saw it with our own eyes. It's a gold-colored fairy crystal, and it's a top-grade one."
The chief disciple of the Gold Sun Sect, who was kneeling on one knee, said.
"Go, continue to keep an eye on them. If there's any new news, report to me." The horse-faced Elder Zhou waved his hand and said, "Keep an eye on these two people for me."
"Yes." The disciple took the order and left.
Elder Zhou looked at a young man dressed like a scholar beside him and said, "Brother Wang, have you found out whether these two people are from a big sect or an aristocratic family?"
The young scholar had dark skin and wore a square scarf on his head. He said, "I've seen them in person, and I've also asked some clever disciples to investigate the people they've been in contact with. I'm almost sure that they should be two cultivators in the Worm Realm who have just walked out of a low-class star. The natural qi in their bodies hasn't completely transformed into Star Qi. As for why they have so many fairy crystals, I'm not quite sure. Maybe they got some unowned inherited treasures by chance."
The horse-faced Elder Zhou laughed and said, "Brother Wang, I trust you the most. Since you said so, we'll definitely eat these two fat sheep today. Let's do it the old way. Get rid of the bodies later and don't leave any clues."
The young scholar surnamed Wang stood up and said, "Got it. I'll do it right away."
Horse-faced Elder Zhou waved his hand and said, "No, wait a little longer. Let them stroll around the market a little longer. The disciples have reported that these two fat sheep are still cutting stones. Maybe their luck is off the charts today, and they will cut out some top-quality crystal stones. Then we will earn more. Haha, let them continue to cut stones."
The young scholar surnamed Wang said, "Elder Zhou, you're so wise."
…
The black-cloaked vendor's stone-cutting technique was very brilliant.
In his hand, the fin-shaped stone knife was like a ray of divine light, constantly flashing. The crust of the Primordial Stone fell off, revealing the golden fairy crystals inside. However, there was no golden color on the peeled crust, which showed the craftsmanship of an expert. It was as if an artist was carving a great work. This not only required a steady hand and a fast knife, but also required experience, eyesight, and judgment.
In the end, two pieces of golden top-grade fairy crystals the size of a child's fist were presented perfectly in front of everyone like two golden elves.
