High Martial Arts: Becoming a Liver Master
Chapter 265: The Stone-Cutting Begins
Wang Zixuan felt as if he were locked onto by some kind of energy, as if he were falling into an abyss and would die at any moment.
It's over.
He inwardly groaned; he had spoken recklessly and had been spotted by the Grandmaster behind Li Mengxue.
His own life was more important, so he chose to follow his heart.
"I'm sorry, Li Mengxue, I misspoke. I sincerely apologize to you here."
After apologizing, he felt the pressure on him disappear and breathed a sigh of relief. He then stepped back to the side.
Liao Mingyu, standing nearby, clearly understood what was going on.
He looked at Steward Zhang, his meaning clear: why didn't you intervene when a Grandmaster made a move inside the Gem Tower?
But he didn't say it.
Manager Zhang was a grandmaster, while he was merely a first-rank martial arts master, so naturally he dared not question him directly.
Manager Zhang seemed not to have noticed and spoke calmly:
"Alright, the agreement is signed. Let's get ready to start cutting the stone. Which of you will go first?"
Just now, when the aura locked onto Wang Zixuan, Steward Zhang stepped in to help, but that aura quickly disappeared.
Clearly, they were warning him not to meddle in other people's business.
Although Liao Mingyu was disappointed, he thought he would be able to get revenge later, so he stepped forward first. He wanted to show Chen Mo what despair was.
"Let's go first! I'll just throw out an example."
"Shh!"
These words drew sighs from the crowd. You, a disciple of a master appraiser, not only bullied a clueless young man, but also tried to destroy his spirit.
They are all somewhat shameless.
but.
Everyone sided with Liao Mingyu, and those customers who had been sighing regretted it the next second, so they shut up and didn't say anything.
"You go first, you go first!"
Chen Mo and Li Mengxue didn't care at all.
Seeing the two of them so calm, Liao Mingyu had a bad feeling. Could it be that these two young men were both experts in appraising treasures?
The next second, he dismissed the idea.
That's impossible. He studied under the renowned appraiser Shi Zhongtian for over 10 years before gaining any insights.
The two young men in front of them are so young; they could never be experts in appraising treasures.
He snorted coldly and then directed the staff:
"Let's start by cutting stone number 78."
A staff member placed stone number 78 on the interpretive table, started the machine, and began the explanation.
"Buzzing..."
The stone was quickly cut in two by the sharp knife.
As the stones separated, what was inside was revealed.
A rich aroma wafted over, invigorating everyone present.
"hiss!"
Upon seeing what was inside, everyone immediately took deep breaths, wanting to inhale all the fragrance into their lungs.
"Holy crap, it's actually a Martial Master Advancement Pill!"
One customer couldn't help but scream out in surprise.
As his voice rang out, the crowd erupted in commotion.
"Wow, it's true. Taking one pill when you're a ninth-grade martial artist allows you to break through to the Great Martial Master level without any side effects. The time saved can then be used to fully focus on comprehending [Power]."
"I'm so lucky to be able to smell this wonderful fragrance of the pill. I feel that my cultivation speed has increased a bit."
"..."
"Quiet!" The exclamations from the crowd made the scene somewhat noisy, and Manager Zhang immediately stopped them.
Then the whole scene returned to silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Then Manager Zhang smiled and looked at Liao Mingyu:
"Indeed, Master Liao lives up to his reputation."
He then casually flicked his wrist, and the Martial Master Advancement Pill landed in his palm.
He glanced at it, then took out a box, put the pills inside, closed the box, and placed it on the table in front of him.
"The medicinal properties of the pills are easily lost when exposed to air. I have already stored them away safely."
"Everyone present saw it. A Martial Master Upgrade Pill is priceless and unavailable. The last time it was auctioned, it cost 110 million."
"So let's go with this price. Neither of us has any objections, right?"
"No!"
"Alright, let's continue in that case."
Liao Mingyu was in a great mood. His first stone was a great success, not only breaking even but also making a profit of 60 million.
This was something he hadn't expected.
"Uncle Liao, congratulations!" Wang Zixuan looked at the box on Steward Zhang's desk with burning eyes.
This pill is extremely important to him, as he recently broke through to the Martial Master level and desperately needs it.
If he takes this pill and rises another rank, his chances of becoming the top scholar in the martial arts examination will be even greater.
In his mind, the pill already belonged to him, and Uncle Liao would definitely give it to him after the event.
He wished he could eat the pill right now.
As if reading his mind, Liao Mingyu whispered in his ear:
"Zixuan, I will give you this pill later. Try your best to become the top scholar in the martial arts exam."
"I definitely will, thank you, Uncle Liao."
"Okay, don't rush."
The two spoke softly, but everyone present was a martial artist and naturally heard their conversation, though no one made a sound.
"Continue, solve stone number 88."
At Liao Mingyu's command, the staff picked up stone number 88 and brought it to the stone-cutting platform to be cut.
So when the buzzing sound started, the stone was quickly cut open.
The contents were then revealed; it was a pill, a martial arts pill.
This time, the aroma of the elixir was not as strong as before.
After everyone saw what kind of pill it was, Steward Zhang took out another box and put it inside.
"This is a Martial Artist Pill. It can be taken when your Qi and Blood value reaches 100, thereby breaking through to the Martial Artist level."
"It can also be taken when one is a ninth-rank martial artist to increase the probability of breaking through to a martial master."
"The elixir is of a much lower grade than the previous one, and its value is 3000 million."
Hearing this, Liao Mingyu nodded; it was exactly what he had expected.
He is an appraiser, but he cannot see through things. He selects stones based on his knowledge and understanding of various stones.
It cannot be said that everything inside is a treasure.
"Let's continue." Liao Mingyu had wanted to see Chen Mo and Li Mengxue's expressions of fear and regret, but finding them both calm, he lost interest and had the staff continue explaining.
Soon the third stone was also solved.
It is a top-grade yellow-rank herb, worth 200 million.
The stock started strong but then declined, leaving onlookers feeling somewhat disappointed.
Even he himself was somewhat disappointed, as the items he offered were becoming increasingly worthless.
Liao Mingyu was also a little disappointed. The value of the first stone far exceeded his expectations. He had thought that he could get even better things from the later stones, but he was disappointed time and time again.
"Let's continue." Her voice was calm, but it carried a hint of disappointment.
The fourth stone was unraveled.
It is a piece of ore worth 1000 million.
It's gotten better again.
Liao Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Everything that comes out is profitable.
"This is the last stone, it has to give me something good!"
Liao Mingyu nervously looked at the last stone, silently giving himself a boost.
Wang Zixuan, standing next to Liao Mingyu, clenched his fists tightly, cheering him on.
"Uncle Liao, you're sure to find something good."
Soon the last stone was removed, revealing the treasure inside.
"Hahaha...That's great, that's great!"
Upon seeing what had been opened, Liao Mingyu couldn't help but burst into wild laughter, appearing almost manic, and excitedly hugged Wang Zixuan next to him.
