C1702 Unexpected Discovery

At this moment, Lin Bai's eyes were filled with unconcealable joy and shock, and he felt as if his heart was about to stop beating.

He felt that it was very likely that he would obtain an incredible result from the cutting process of the ore. The reason was very simple, because the moment his hand touched the surface of the ore, the few Forbidden Snakes he hid within his skin started to wiggle without any forewarning. And as the snake moved, he felt a hint of an aura from the huge ore under his finger. Although it was only a sliver, it was very clear.

Compared to the dense world spirit energy that was everywhere on the small mountain, this aura was purer and colder! Could it be that these Forbidden Snakes were able to help him sense the spirit stones hidden within the ore?

When he thought here, Lin Bai did not hesitate at all. He quickly retracted his hand from the surface of the ore! The instant the tip of his finger left the ore, the Qi instantly turned into nothingness, disappearing without a trace, and the Forbidden Snake also stopped wiggling in the next moment. Furthermore, it transmitted a kind of complaining emotion to Lin Bai, as if it was complaining that Lin Bai's hand left the ore.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Bai placed his hand on that huge ore. As soon as his fingertips came in contact with the ore, the forbidden serpent began to squirm again, and that faintly cold and pure aura was once again detected by Lin Bai.

This was definitely the spirit stone hidden in the ore! At this moment, Lin Bai was extremely sure that what he had sensed from the snake ban was the spirit stone hidden in the ore. He couldn't think of any other reason for the aura to appear besides the spirit stone.

It was too crazy, too unbelievable! At this moment, Lin Bai felt as though his consciousness was flying through the clouds, light as a feather. Just think about it. As long as you touch the ore with your finger, you can determine whether there are spirit stones inside by sensing whether there are any auras coming from the ore. What kind of shocking thing is this?

This meant that as long as he was willing and had sufficient resources, he could definitely obtain all the spirit stones he wanted!

He tried again to see if it was just this ore, or if the other ores had the same feeling! Without any hesitation, Lin Bai quickly moved his hand to the few pieces of ore Tie Yuan had pointed out to him.

There was an aura here, and this aura was even denser than the aura from the huge ore! There was no aura, and the Forbidden Snake didn't throb. There shouldn't be any spirit stones inside this ore! There was an aura here, and this aura was even denser than the ore he had touched earlier!

After gently touching these pieces one by one, although Lin Bai's expression did not decrease in the slightest, it was obvious that his expression was a little calmer than before. As Tie Yuan had said, the ratio of spirit stones stored in these ores was frighteningly low. Most of the ores were broken stone eggs without any trace of aura.

Even if there were auras, most of them were curling up. If one did not carefully examine them, it would be almost impossible to detect them. It was obvious that even if one possessed spirit stones, the size and quality of the spirit stones would be shockingly low.

However, what made Lin Bai shocked was that Tie Yuan, who was said to have inherited the legacy of a Spirit Master, was indeed worthy of his reputation. Out of the five ores that he had pointed out to himself, two of them were actually hiding Spirit Stones. Furthermore, compared to the other ores that he had sensed, the Spirit Stones emitted an aura that was at the apex of existence.

One had to know that he had relied on the Forbidden Snake to sense the condition of the spirit stones within. However, he did not have a Forbidden Snake, nor could he sense the aura within. He could only judge by his naked eyes and the experiences of his ancestors. Although the ratio of five to two didn't sound like much, if one looked carefully, it was already an inconceivable ratio.

He must use this method to obtain as many spirit stones as possible. As long as he could obtain enough spirit stones, he could create a Blessed Paradise for his family to live in. At this moment, Lin Bai had already made up his mind. He was prepared to make a big scene here and take as many ores as he could with him.

Not only that, but another reason why Lin Bai made this decision was that if he did not fight for it, these ores would inevitably fall into the hands of other hidden sects. And once they obtained spirit stones, the strength of those hidden sects would inevitably increase greatly. At that time, if they harbored ill intentions towards the outside world, the situation would become even more difficult to control.

Although Lin Bai also knew that if he were to display his prowess here and take away countless spirit stones, he would definitely become a target of public criticism. In fact, he might even be able to reveal his identity.

But thinking about how to do it was still a big problem. The biggest problem he had right now was how to obtain the ores. Although the small mountain wasn't expensive, he was still a poor man. He roughly estimated that the Moon Glow had already been given to Leng Xiao Yan, and the Scarlet Pill Grass had to be left to He Jia Er and the other girls to nourish her face, so as to ensure her beauty would not grow old.

After thinking about it, Lin Bai discovered that the only things he could use now were the two things: Red Refined Gold and Limitless Silver. However, if he wanted to use these two methods to exchange for ores from the small mountain, the amount of ores he could exchange for would definitely be very few.

Was he really going to ask Gu Taixu for a few ores to give him? However, the moment this thought appeared in Lin Bai's heart, it was quickly dispelled by him. It was not because he could not leave this person behind, but because he was attentive to the matter of Tai Niu. It was obvious that he had intentions towards him. If he were to open his mouth, then they would have to accept his kindness. If he really wanted her to do something, then it would be difficult for her to refuse.

He had to think of a way to obtain as many resources as possible in exchange for those ores that he could feel his breath on! After a moment of silence, Lin Bai came to a decision. Only for a moment, he couldn't think of any way that could allow him to become richer within a period of time, to obtain even more resources.

After all, they couldn't possibly attack Chen Xuan and Kong Fang at the venue, kill them all, and kill them all for their treasures. However, Lin Bai also understood that if he really had such a thought, it wouldn't even be an exaggeration to say that he was courting death. If he had started to hurt someone for no reason, it would have aroused the wrath of the crowd. Even if Gu Taixu had some ulterior motives towards him, in the face of the wrath of the crowd, he would definitely have tried to kill him.

Thinking of Gu Taixu's cold and sinister aura that was like a primordial beast, Lin Bai couldn't help but shiver in his heart. He knew that even though Gu Taixu's performance was light, if they were to fight, his strength would definitely not be any weaker than his!

Most importantly, after everything that had happened in the sect, these people clearly feared him. If he were to make a move now, they would definitely figure out his intentions. He was afraid that they would not fall into his trap.

What should he do? As he thought about it, Lin Bai couldn't help but discover that at this moment, he was as helpless as a treasure hunter who had just entered a treasure mountain, but didn't have a treasure bag in his hands. Although he had the ability to sense the aura of the ores through the Forbidden Snake to determine whether they contained Spirit Stones or not, he did not have enough resources to buy the ores.

Was he supposed to just watch as others bought the ores one by one? At this moment, Lin Bai was slightly vexed.

"Someone wants to cut the ore!" Right at this moment, a clamor suddenly sounded out within the arena. In an instant, a large number of heads gathered towards the center of the arena, wanting to see who the first person eating the crab was and what the result would be.

Although Lin Bai's heart was in turmoil, he was still curious. He followed the flow of the crowd and looked in the direction of the sound. When he walked into the arena, Lin Bai couldn't help but laugh. He was holding a massive boulder, and his smile was as radiant as a blooming spring flower. It was the young master of the Spirit Spring Sect, Jiang Ling, who had just spoken impolitely to him.

"Mountain Master Gu, at what price are you selling this ore?" Clapping his hands as he held the stone the size of a watermelon, Jiang Ling arrogantly swept his gaze over the surrounding crowd, before lightly smiling at Gu Taixu. Although the arrogance in his words was slightly restrained when he was facing Gu Taixu, it still carried the air of a young lord who was rich.

"Has young master Jiang fallen for this ore?" But as for what kind of person Gu Taixu was, how could he possibly argue with this kid? Moreover, Jiang Ling had already bought the ore, so he shouldn't be happy at all. He turned to Tie Yuan with a smile, "Old Iron, what price do you think is appropriate?"

"Kid, you have quite the good eye. Although the surface of this ore looks like a gray card, in reality, it is incomparably exquisite in texture. It is not inferior to the Dragon King's skin, and the possibility of spirit stones contained within is extremely high." Tie Yuan glanced at the ore in shock, then said lightly, "Since the material of this ore is between the gray card and the Dragon Emperor, then we can set a price of twenty bottles of Extreme Frost Marrow. And Young Sect Master Jiang is the first to purchase the ore, so I'll make a discount for you. We will let you pay ten percent for this ore. How about we only charge you eighteen bottles of Extreme Frost Marrow? "

"No need!" If it was a normal person, they would definitely be happy to accept the discount, but who was Jiang Ling? He was the rich and imposing young sect master of the Spirit Spring Sect, in his eyes, if he bought something that was discounted, he would lose face because of his status. He immediately waved his hands and said with great heroism: "Mountain Head Gu, you also know that our Spirit Spring Sect's specialty is not the Absolute Cold Ice Marrow, but the Spirit Spring. I might as well use the spirit spring as the absolute frost pith. I'll use two bottles of spirit spring water to exchange for this ore, what do you think? "

The moment those words were spoken, the entire hall was immediately struck dumb. Countless people had expressions of envy in their eyes.

Interesting! At the same time, Lin Bai silently stroked his chin, looking at Jiang Ling with eyes full of amusement.
