Chapter 131: Stone of Phoenix Blood And Earth Spirit Crystal, This Really Is My First Time Playing!


“You sure you want this piece, brother? You can’t change your mind after this.” The stall owner smiled blandly. All the ores were his, so naturally, he knew which were the real deal and which were duds.

Still, It was abundantly clear that Chu Kuangren had picked one of the worst ones.

The chances of getting anything good from the ores were extremely low.

“I’m sure. I’ll take this.” Chu Kuangren smiled.

Beside him, an old veteran who was also picking out ores spoke when he saw Chu Kuangren picking so casually, “If you think you can get something good by sheer luck, you’re in for a surprise, young man. Betting on ores isn’t as easy as you think.”

“You can’t just rely on luck for matters like this.”

The old veteran was an expert with hundreds of years of experience when it came to ore betting, and he despised those that relied on luck. To him, a stroke of luck was only temporary.

“Thank you for your advice, good sir. I’m just playing around.”

Chu Kuangren smiled and said nothing more. The old veteran snorted in dissatisfaction at his dismissive reaction.

“Alright. I have someone who specializes in breaking ores open as long as you pay in Earth Spirit Crystals. How about it?” The boss offers.

“Sure.”

“That’ll be a hundred and one Earth Spirit Crystals in total.”

He then took the ore to crack it open once Chu Kuangren had paid, and a crowd formed around him, watching with curiosity.

They may not hold much hope, but it was free entertainment. Some even joked about it.

“You think the ore will be of any value?”

“Value my foot! I’ve been betting on ores for decades, and that one was basically worthless. You cannot sell it for anything.”

“Indeed. The quality is too bad.”

“Even if something does come out of it, it would likely be the lowest quality of jade. A hundred and one Earth Spirit Crystals is a loss.”

No one believed it would be of any value.

In fact, all Chu Kuangren wanted was to test something out with the ore’s value.

Since he had the Treasure Locating Skill, he just needed to activate it to find out if there was a treasure in the ore.

However, he did not do so, and instead, he randomly picked out an ore to test his luck.

A middle-aged man brought out a saw-looking cleaver and began to open the ore. As the crack on the ore got increasingly deeper, a bright red light spilled from the cracks and flew into the sky.

The red light then turned vaguely into a mythical bird that hovered in the sky and emitted a strong Daoist Rhyme. Everyone’s faces instantly changed, especially the old veteran from earlier.

He breathed heavily while he stared at the stone. “This Transformation! Could this be the Stone of Phoenix Blood?!”

The Stone of Phoenix Blood was a Sage grade mineral!

The old veteran had never seen such a mineral despite having been betting on ores for so many years. He had only heard about it from a friend.

Yet somehow this top quality treasure was right before his eyes, picked out by a young man’s stroke of luck?
