C1713 Arenaceous Sand

"Since Fellow Mu is so bold, then I think we shouldn't think too much about it. Let them make the bet. We've already delayed quite a bit, so let's not waste any more time." When Gu Taixu heard this, he smiled lightly and turned to look at Tie Yuan, "Old Iron, Young Sect Master Jiang's ore is too big. I think you should bring the tools here, let's take the stone here!"

When Tie Yuan heard this, he let out a soft sigh and glanced at Lin Bai, only to discover that Lin Bai's expression was as usual with a faint smile on his face. He could not help but bitterly smile and shake his head.

Taking advantage of this time, Gu Taixu's gaze slowly fell onto the dog piss stone in Lin Bai's hand. After looking around for a long time, he could not find any clues.

However, somehow, Gu Taixu felt that this matter was definitely not as simple as it seemed. He even had a very strange feeling. Although Lin Bai seemed to always be at a disadvantage, if one combined the various things that had happened before and looked at him, it was as if the rhythm of the gambling house was in Lin Bai's hands. Jiang Ling's every move was being led away by Lin Bai.

Most importantly, although Lin Bai appeared to be extremely angry earlier, in Gu Taixu's eyes, there was no true fury. And in this situation, for Lin Bai to be so composed, it was even more bizarre.

Forget it, it was better to just watch. After this ore was broken, he would see the reason behind it clearly. Everything would naturally be brought to light! At that time, he would know whether this Daoist friend Mu possessed the Spirit Viewing Technique or not, and whether he was the person he was looking for! After looking at the ore in Lin Bai's hand for a long time, Gu Taixu shook his head with a smile, but didn't think too much into it.

A moment later, Tie Yuan brought over the tool to cut the huge ore. This time, the tool to open the stone was another saw. However, this saw was a bit wider than the one he had used before.

"Young sect leader Jiang, the shape of this ore is too big. It needs to be dissected into several pieces and then unraveled. What do you think?" After he had finished preparing all the tools, Tie Yuan turned around and looked at Jiang Ling as he slowly spoke.

Hearing these words, Jiang Ling's heart suddenly tightened for no reason and even became a bit nervous. No matter what, this was his first time coming into contact with the ore. Moreover, the price of sixty-five bottles of Spirit Spring Water was not a small amount for him. If this saw were to cut down, he would not even have bird feathers. He would not even have a place to cry.

The most important thing was, if he lost, wouldn't he have to fulfill the bet he made with Lin Bai? Losing something was considered small, but if he had to kowtow and call Lin Bai grandpa, this person was someone he couldn't afford to lose!

"Are you still cutting? If you don't have the guts, then cut mine first! " Seeing Jiang Ling's hesitant look, Lin Bai acted like he was in a hurry and impatiently waved the half ball sized ore in his hand as he spoke.

If one wanted to catch a person, one would have to die in order to survive. What was there to be afraid of? Furthermore, the stone in that kid's hand was a piece of rough stone. What could he cut out from it!? Even if he had only cut a fingernail, he would have won! After thinking it over, and hearing Lin Bai's words, Jiang Ling gritted his teeth and cursed angrily in his heart. He suddenly waved his hand, signaling Tie Yuan to do as he pleased!

When Tie Yuan heard this, he nodded slightly. However, he revealed an excited expression on his face. To be honest, this was the first time he had unraveled such a large ore, so he was quite excited. After taking a deep breath to calm his emotions, he walked around the ore and drew a few lines on it. Tie Yuan used the large saw and forcefully slashed at the ore!

When the saw blade came in contact with the ore, it immediately let out a piercing noise, and countless fine stone chips flew out! Shards of stone rained down on the people from the hidden sects, who were standing close to the ore. However, everyone seemed not to have noticed them as they stared fixedly at the ore, afraid that they would miss even a second of it!

Ka-cha! * Ka-cha! * It had to be said that Tie Yuan's skill was quite good. With just a few saws, he had already left deep marks on the ore. After putting away the saw, Tie Yuan took a deep breath. He slowly raised his hand and gently patted the ore. With one strike, the ore immediately split into four evenly sized pieces and fell to the ground.

"I can feel the spiritual energy, and it's dense spiritual energy. It seems like the spiritual energy in these four pieces is leaking out. Could it be that with a saw, four pieces of spirit stones were extracted out? Isn't this too shocking?!"

"I can feel the spiritual energy too, but I don't see the light of spirit stones. What's going on?"

In an instant, exclamations and puzzled voices rose and fell in succession. Hearing this voice, Jiang Ling quickly made his way over and after sensing the aura emitted by the four ores, he discovered that it was just as the crowd had said. Although the four ores had spirit energy emitting from them, they didn't have the brilliance of spirit stones, so he couldn't help but ask Tie Yuan, "Elder Tie, what's going on?"

Tie Yuan did not utter a word, but his eyebrows were tightly knitted, obviously not understanding the situation in front of him. He slowly walked in front of one of the ores, picked up a stone shard and examined it, his face suddenly revealed an incredulous look as he said with a trembling voice, "This … This is Spirit Sand... "To think that spirit sand was actually cut out from this ore …"

Spiritual sand, what is that? Upon hearing this, everyone's faces were filled with bewilderment, none of them knowing what it meant.

"Spirit Sand..." "Spirit Sand …" At this time, the old man surnamed Qu, who was the first to realize that these stones were ores, revealed an expression of disbelief after mumbling the two words "Spirit Sand". He asked in a trembling voice: "Fellow Taoist Iron, could the Spirit Sand you spoke of be the same Spirit Sand from the legends?"

"Fellow Daoist Qong is truly knowledgeable, it's indeed that spiritual sand." Tie Yuan slowly nodded when he heard this. The unimaginable expression on his face did not decrease in the slightest. Moreover, there was a fanaticism within his eyes.

Hearing their riddles like words, the surrounding people from the hidden sects were instantly displeased, and they asked the two people with incomparable doubt, "Dao Friend Tie, Dao Friend Qong, don't fight the riddle, just what is this Spirit Sand?"

"Spirit sands are like spirit stones, they are stones with spirit energy. However, the size of the sand is extremely small and the amount of spirit energy contained within it is far less than spirit stones, which is why it is named as the sand. " Tie Yuan smiled at the crowd when he heard this, and continued to explain to them, "However, this spiritual sand is still a rare sight. Most importantly, the fact that there's spiritual sand in this ore often means that there are high grade spirit stones, or even top grade spirit stones!"

What? Top grade spirit stones? Hearing this, the crowd burst into an uproar. Everyone's expressions when they looked at Jiang Ling had completely changed, and their eyes were filled with a fervent look! What was a top grade spirit stone? It was thousands of times stronger than the spiritual qi that was produced by normal spirit stones. Even a single top grade spirit stone could be used to create a Blessed Paradise and raise one's cultivation by countless times! "Once a sect obtains a top grade spirit stone, their strength will experience a qualitative leap!

Even though it was Jiang Ling who was rich, upon hearing these words, his face flushed red with excitement! A top grade spirit stone. This ore might have top grade spirit stones, and his judgement was right. As long as he cut out a top grade spirit stone, then what was sixty-five bottles of Extreme Frost Marrow worth!

"Seven hundred bottles of Extreme Frost Marrow. I am willing to pay seven hundred bottles of Extreme Frost Marrow's price to obtain this ore from Young Sect Master Jiang. I hope that you can achieve this!" Right at this moment, the old man surnamed Quang, who recognized the spirit sand first, suddenly spoke out. He directly wanted to purchase the ore at a sky-high price, and his eyes were even filled with urgency.

"Eight hundred bottles of Extreme Frost Marrow!" Just as the old man surnamed Qu finished speaking, another shout rang out from within the auction hall. In addition, another hundred bottles were raised in price before he anxiously said, "If Young Sect Master Jiang is interested, I can raise the price again!"

Listening to these shouts and shouts as he raised the price, Jiang Ling felt as if he was floating in the air, feeling as if he was on the verge of death, feeling extremely comfortable in his heart.

"800 bottles, that's too low a price!" I'll give 900 bottles. Young leader Jiang, our two sects have always been on good terms with each other. Your Spirit Spring Sect has spirit spring water, so we won't mind this top grade spirit stone. We shall engrave this great kindness in our hearts! " The moment this voice was heard, another person in the arena loudly shouted and began to build relationships with each other.

This was too f * cking crazy! Seeing this scene, the rogue cultivators that were called wandering ghosts in the hidden realms, as well as the weaker cultivators from the sects, all revealed envious looks on their faces. They were well aware of the value of a top grade spirit stone. If this ore really had a top grade spirit stone that could double the power of a sect, the price of 800 bottles of Extreme Frost Marrow would not be much.

"I came to the trade fair to find resources for our Spirit Spring Sect to increase our strength. It's impossible for me to change hands over this ore. Furthermore, the price that you two offered was a little too low. It's more than enough to send away those who are begging for food with this small amount of money! " Jiang Ling glanced at Lin Bai again after he said those words in a complacent manner. Clearly, what he meant was that Lin Bai was asking for money.

After hearing what he said, Lin Bai's expression remained as calm as ever, the smile on his face was still the same. No one could tell what he was thinking. Only Lin Bai himself knew. Not to mention the spiritual sand that was cut out from this ore, even if it was flowers that bloomed, there was nothing else apart from that ordinary quality ore!

If these people really bought this ore from Jiang Ling, after the ore was broken down, they wouldn't even have a place to cry!

"Elder Iron, continue opening the stones!" After the loud laughter, Jiang Ling happily waved his hand and coldly glanced at Lin Bai, saying, "I want to show some people what true strength is and what self-awareness is!"
