At this moment, Yun Fan's gaze was completely attracted by the enormous ore in front of him. Although he didn't know what kind of metal was hidden within the ore, Yun Fan was certain that it was definitely not an ordinary item from the pressure it emitted!
Yun Fan was not the only one in the vicinity of this stall. There were also quite a number of cultivators who had stopped in their tracks to watch. They were discussing this huge ore with desire in their eyes.
"Stall owner, how much is this ore? My third prince is taking it! "
At this moment, Yun Fan heard an arrogant voice from behind him, causing Yun Fan to involuntarily frown.
"This fellow is really like a ghost that won't go away."
Yun Fan shook his head and sneered. He didn't need to guess to know that Yan Yu had come again.
However, Yun Fan didn't say anything. He wanted to see what kind of trick this fellow was playing.
Yan Yu disdainfully glanced at Yun Fan. Soon after, he walked past him and lazily said to the stall owner, "I, the Third Prince, want this ore of yours. Name a price."
Someone in the crowd recognized that this was the third prince of the Skyflame Continent, Yan Yu. Some people who wanted to fight over it instantly fell silent.
When Yan Yu saw this, his face became even more arrogant.
"I'm not selling this ore."
The stall owner shook his head slightly and said indifferently.
When Yan Yu heard this, he couldn't help but be enraged and said angrily, "If you're not selling it, then why are you putting it here? Are you trying to make fun of my third prince? "
The stall owner cupped his fists and said, "Third prince, you've misunderstood. I obtained this ore by chance. After appraisal, the grade of the metal within it has reached the emperor grade …"
When these words were said, a wave of exclamations instantly erupted from the surroundings.
In the Primordial World, metals were clearly divided into grades according to their hardness and characteristics. Since this metal ore had reached the emperor grade, it meant that this high grade metal had the possibility of refining an emperor grade spirit treasure!
The stall owner continued, "I want to use it to forge an offensive spirit treasure, so I've specially waited here for a high grade symbol master to come. As long as any master can help me refine an offensive spirit treasure of the venerable grade or above, I'll give all the remaining ore to him!
Therefore, I will not sell this ore for money. I will only exchange it for a chance for Grandmaster to make a move! "
Hearing this, everyone nodded slightly. This kind of situation was not rare among cultivators. Some cultivators obtained high-grade materials but did not know how to refine them, so they used this method to ask a grandmaster to refine them for them.
Talisman Masters that were capable of refining Venerable Grade Spirit Treasures were practically as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. Every single one of them was a distinguished guest that all the great powers wanted to rope in, and all of them were extremely arrogant. Moreover, it was extremely difficult for ordinary cultivators to meet them, so it was simply more difficult than ascending to the heavens to request a Talisman Master to make a move.
Therefore, he came here to set up a stall, hoping to meet a master by chance.
"Haha, kid, you're lucky to have met me today."
Yan Yu smiled proudly and pointed at the bearded middle-aged cultivator beside him, saying arrogantly, "Let me introduce you. This is the number one weapon refiner of the Skyflame Continent, Xu Cong. With him here, what kind of spirit treasure can't you refine?"
Weapon refiners were a branch of talisman masters. In some places, talisman masters who specialized in refining weapons were called weapon refiners.
"Wow! So he is the famous Grandmaster Xu Cong. I heard that he has refined at least 800 Venerable Grade Spirit Treasures, if not 1,000!"
"Yeah, I heard that too. Plus, Grandmaster Xu's success rate in refining weapons is rather high."
"Grandmaster Xu might be the Five Continent Alliance's first Emperor-grade weapon refiner in the future!"
"…"
Xu Cong stood with his hands behind his back. Although he could sense the admiring gazes around him, his expression remained solemn as he said to Yan Yu, "You flatter me, Third Prince."
"So it's you, Grandmaster Xu. I beg you to make a move for me today!"
When he saw this, the stall owner hurriedly jogged over and cupped his fists before Xu Cong in an extremely flattering manner.
Xu Cong raised his head slightly, as if he did not care about the stall owner at all. He only said coolly, "If you want me to make a move, I'm afraid this piece of metal alone is not enough. You'll have to give me at least 100,000 Celestial Crystals."
"100,000?"
When he heard this, the stall owner's face turned slightly pale and he staggered.
He was just an ordinary cultivator. Even if he sold everything he had, he would not be able to fork out 100,000 Celestial Crystals.
"Humph! You want me to make a move for a mere Emperor-grade stone? Aren't you underestimating me?
The Spirit Treasures I have refined are all high-grade Venerable Grade Spirit Treasures. Are they not worth this much? "
Xu Cong said arrogantly with his head held high.
Whispers were heard all around. The stall owner looked dejected, as he felt that Xu Cong's words made sense. No matter how good an ore was, it was still an ore. Without the refinement of a blacksmithing master, it was no different from scrap metal.
Therefore, it was reasonable for Xu Cong to ask for such a price.
He had previously asked other blacksmithing masters to make a move for him, but the other party had asked for a higher price than Xu Cong. Plus, they were not as famous as Xu Cong.
"Grandmaster Xu, I really can't fork out 100,000 Celestial Crystals. 60,000 Celestial Crystals is my limit. Could you make an exception for me …? "
The stall owner begged in a low voice.
"Grandmaster Xu, for the sake of the Third Prince, please make an exception and make a move for this brother."
Yan Yu 'pleaded' for the stall owner.
"Alright, for the sake of the Third Prince, I will make an exception and make a move for him!"
Xu Qing glanced at the stall owner and said indifferently, "You've made a fortune today."
"Thank you, Grandmaster Xu. Thank you, Third Prince! I will definitely repay your kindness in the future! "
The stall owner bowed and thanked them repeatedly.
With the Venerable Grade Spirit Treasure that Xu Cong had refined, he would be able to achieve a better result in the preliminaries.
Yan Yu and Xu Cong looked at each other when they saw the stall owner's grateful expression. They could see a hint of mockery in each other's eyes.
In fact, they naturally desired this Emperor-grade Ore. They had deliberately lowered the price to squeeze more wealth out of the stall owner. In the end, the stall owner would be grateful to them.
Yan Yu looked at Yun Fan proudly and mocked, "I'm sorry, Yun Fan. I'm afraid you'll have to return empty-handed this time. Don't you also want this Emperor-grade Ore? It's a pity that the number one weapon refiner in the Skyflame Continent is here. You have no chance at all! "
"Do you really think that this Emperor-grade Ore is already yours?"
Yun Fan frowned slightly. He really couldn't stand Yan Yu's smug face.
"Haha, you're right. This Emperor Grade ore is now in my, the Third Prince's, pocket! Don't you think so? "Yan Yu looked at the stall owner and said the last sentence.
"Yes, yes, yes! This Emperor-grade Ore belongs to you, Third Prince! "The stall owner nodded repeatedly, not daring to offend Yan Yu.
Yun Fan looked at the stall owner and said seriously, "I can help you refine an even higher grade Spirit Treasure. Furthermore, I won't take a single Celestial Crystal from you!"
