Chapter 575 Gold-colored Fairy Crystal

Li Mu continued to observe with a poker face.

The golden ball of light inside the stone was extremely dense, It was splendidly bright, like a small sun, which was intoxicating.

After looking at it for a while, he still couldn’t figure out what it was, so he looked up and asked, “Hello, what’s the price of this Primordial Stone?”

Without even raising his head, the mysterious black-cloaked vendor answered, “Five silver-colored fairy crystals.”

When the people around heard the price, they were all taken aback.

Especially those who had just examined and weighed that Primordial Stone a moment ago. They all sneered.

A young noble-looking man smirked and taunted, “Five silver-colored fairy crystals for such a shabby stone? Haha, only a fool would buy it.”

Li Mu did not know what to say.

“Why does he have to make that bitchy comment?”

Li Mu took out five silver-colored fairy crystals and said, “I’ll buy it.”

The crowd gasped again. Many people stared at Li Mu as if they had seen a fool. “Even a millionaire won’t waste his money like this. What a squanderer!”

The young noble-looking man was stunned. Looking at Li Mu, he chuckled and said, “It turns out that there are fools in the world.”

Ding Yi couldn’t stand it anymore and said, “You are a fool! What if there is an immortal seed in this Primordial Stone? Young man, you can’t be that sure.”

The young man said with a look of disdain, “I’ve just asked Master Shi to check that shabby stone. It’s just a worthless stone. It’s not even worth a copper-colored fairy crystal. Isn’t that so, Master Shi?”

Standing beside him was an old man whose skin was as dark as iron. He was slightly hunchbacked, and his arms were as long as an ape, which draped to his knees. His knuckles were protruding, and his hands were large as tassels. At first glance, he looked like an old farmer who had been exposed to the wind and sun all year round. But upon taking a closer look, one could find that he had an unfathomable bearing.

This farmer-like elder was none other than Master Shi, a top expert of Primordial Stones. He was hired as an adviser by the young noble and came to the market to help him pick the Primordial Stones.

“Right. The crust is rough and thick, and the star patterns are messy, which are typical traits of the ‘disguised wasted stone’. It is definitely trash,” Master Shi remarked while nodding.

“Haha, did you hear that? If you don’t believe me, you can crack it open on the spot. If there is really an immortal seed in it, I will swim in the toilet as punishment.” The young master laughed out loud and mocked Li Mu for no reason.

Li Mu gave the young man a meaningful look.

“He’s indeed harsh to himself.”

Li Mu handed the stone to the vendor and said, “Master, please open it for me.” He was dying to know what the golden ball of light he saw was on earth.

Generally speaking, the vendors who sold Primordial Stones would provide stone-cutting service on house.

The black-cloaked vendor calmly took the stone and asked without looking up, “How do you want to cut it?”

Li Mu smiled and said, “You’re experienced. You just do as you see fit.”

The black-cloaked then looked up and cast a glance at Li Mu, then he said, “Have you thought this through? Once I open it and find that this is a waste stone, you can’t get your five silver-colored fairy crystals back.”

Before Li Mu could say anything, the young noble said smugly, “Did you see that? The stall owner has already advised you not to open it. Haha, what a fool! I say you don’t cut it open. Just keep it as a souvenir. Every time you see this stone, you will remember the trap you’ve fallen into before. Then, maybe you won’t be so extravagant with money anymore.”

Hearing that, Ding Yi was no longer so sure.

After all, the senior stone expert had said that it was a waste stone. Ding Yi just said that because he was angry. He didn’t know squat about Primordial Stones, and he also believed that Li Mu was also a rookie in that field. The probability of a blind cat catching a dead mouse was really low.

“Why don’t we open it later?” He looked at Li Mu and suggested.

Li Mu didn’t want to argue with him. He directly said to the vendor, “No need. Please help me open it now.”

The vendor nodded and no longer tried to persuade him.

A flash of light glinted in his palm, and an inconspicuous stone box appeared. When he opened the box, Golden light immediately swirled around it, and a three-inch-long fin-shaped stone knife was quietly placed in it. The golden light was emitted right from this fin-shaped stone knife.

Master Shi’s eyes lit up at the sight of the knife.

The interstellar miners were in the company of ore and mineral resources for life. They often needed to cut open ores, dig open Earthvein, locate the mineral resources, and judge the quality of the mineral resources. The quality of the cutting knives, shovels, and Mining Needles determined the strength of a miner. Master Shi could tell that this fish fins-shaped cutting knife was definitely not an ordinary one.

As the black-cloaked vendor grabbed the fin-shaped stone cutting knife in his hand, he naturally showed a kind of solemnity. He put the Primordial Stone on the stone cutting table in front of him and began to cut the stone.

At this time, the stall was already crowded with people.

In just a few moments, the news that someone spent so much as five silver-colored fairy crystals on a waste stone had spread out. Many people gathered around the stall, waiting to see what kind of man could be so stupid. They were also dying to see the look on this rich but stupid guy when he saw the stone was really a waste after it was opened.

“Crack!”

The black-cloaked vendor slashed at the stone with his blade.

Many people held their breath.

Ding Yi directly covered his eyes with both hands.

Li Mu, however, looked unflustered.

The stone was cut in half, and a ray of golden light burst out from the crack, just like the golden sun rising from the eastern horizon in the early morning. The golden light was so bright that people couldn’t even open their eyes.

“Oh my god!”

“Golden light... Don’t tell me it’s a gold-colored crystal!”

“Oh dear god. It’s really a gold-colored crystal, the trait of a gold-colored crystal... How is this possible? Its surface definitely indicated that it was a piece of waste stone! Why did it turn out to be a golden crystal?”

“This man made a fortune. One gold-colored crystal is worth 100 silver-colored ones. And one silver-colored crystal is worth 100 copper-colored ones. The golden crystal in this Primordial Stone is enough to make two or three gold-colored fairy crystals. He made a profit more than 100 times his cost.”

“Things shouldn’t have turned out like this.”

There was an exclamation of disbelief around the stall.

Those onlookers who were waiting to watch the show couldn’t believe what they saw. They wiped their eyes over and over again and looked carefully. The inside of the cut stone really contained a fist-sized golden crystal. The lines on it were all-natural. The color was clear and pure. And it was shining dreamily. It was definitely the raw material of the gold-colored fairy crystal, and it was also the best kind among the gold crystals.

There was a scorching and greedy look in everyone’s eyes.

This was a real fortune.

The young noble, on the contrary, was instantly dumbfounded.

His smile froze on his face, as though he had been slapped more than a dozen times in the face by someone with a pair of shoes stained with shit.

He looked at Master Shi in confusion, who was next to him.

Master Shi was also extremely shocked and lost. He couldn’t help but say, “No, no, this should be a ‘disguised waste stone’. How could it possibly contain a real fairy crystal? What... what’s going on?”

The regret of missing out on the gold-colored fairy crystal well as the blow to his confidence that he had made a mistake in his professional judgment made it hard for him to accept the fact.

Ding Yi’s expression was not much better than other people’s.

“He, he picked out one with the golden crystal just like that?”

Feeling kind of surreal, Ding Yi looked at Li Mu.

“Luck simply descended too abruptly.”

However, Li Mu didn’t seem to be very surprised, which told Ding Yi that his Sect Master was not doing this without purpose. He must have noticed something before, and that was why he asked for this specific stone.

As if the water started to boil, the crowd around him instantly burst into an uproar. All kinds of discussions came out at the same time, forming a wave of rumors that spread toward every corner of the market.

The disciple of the Gold Sun Sect who was in charge of the order in the market soon noticed the change and figured out what had happened.

“Go, report to the elder. Can’t believe the golden crystal has appeared. The last time something like this happened was more than ten years ago. Wow, the golden crystal!” the disciple, who was in charge of the market order, said with a sigh.

The news soon reached the Gold Sun Sect’s base in Gold Town.

“Haha, these two big fish are so lucky to have found the gold-colored fairy crystal!” exclaimed a tall and thin man with a horse face sitting by the table. After listening to the report with a smile, a hint of joy appeared on his face.

“Elder Zhou, it’s true. News has spread in the market. We saw it with our own eyes. It’s the golden crystal, and it’s a top-grade one,” the disciple of the Gold Sun Sect, who was kneeling on one knee, replied.

“Go, keep an eye on them. If there is anything new, report it to me.” The horse-faced Elder Zhou waved his hand and said, “Keep a close watch on these two people.”

“Yes.” The disciple took the order and left.

Elder Zhou turned to a young man dressed as a scholar beside him and said, “Brother Wang, have you found out if these two people came from some big sect or an aristocratic family?”

The young scholar’s skin was dark, and he wore a kerchief on his head. He said, “I went there in person and sent some smart disciples to investigate the people they had contacted. I can almost assure you that they are two of the Worm Realm cultivators who just came out of a low-ranking star. The natural qi they carry has not completely transformed into the Astral Qi. As for why they have so many fairy crystals, I have no answer yet. Maybe it was by chance that they discovered a huge treasure.”

The horse-faced Elder Zhou laughed heartily and said, “Brother Wang, I trust you the most. Since you said so, we’ll definitely eat the two big fish today. Let’s do this like always. Make sure you get rid of the bodies. Don’t leave any clues behind.”

The young scholar surnamed Wang stood up and said, “Got it. I’ll get to it right off.”

The horse-faced Elder Zhou waved at him and said, “No, wait a moment. Let them shop around the market for a while longer. The disciples reported that these two big fish are still picking more stones. What if they are so lucky today that they can get more top-grade crystals? If so, we’ll make more money. out of this Haha, let them continue to do the stone gambling.”

The young scholar surnamed Wang said, “Elder Zhou, that is really wise of you.”

The black-cloaked vendor’s stone-cutting technique was excellent.

The fin-shaped stone knife flashed in his hand like a jet of divine light. The crust of the Primordial Stone peeled off, revealing the gold-colored fairy crystal inside. There was no trace of gold stuck on the falling stone crust, which showed the craft of a master. He cut the stone like an artist carving a great work of art. Not only did he need to hold the knife firmly, but he also needed experience, vision, and good judgment.

At last, a pair of golden high-grade fairy crystals the size of a child’s fist were perfectly presented in front of everyone, which looked like two dancing golden elves.

“You’re lucky.” The tone of the black-cloaked vendor was very calm. He put away the fin-shaped stone knife and placed the pair of golden fairy crystals in front of Li Mu.
