According to the rules, after both of them had chosen their stones, Su Lingsheng would open hers first.
After experiencing the thrill from the gold plated ore and dream stone, everyone was already numb. They already did not know what other rare ore to expect from Su Lingsheng’s stone.
As the grinding sound of the stone echoed throughout the store, it pierced their eardrums, as though it was wearing them down bit by bit.
During the grinding process, the workers continuously added water onto the stone to wash away the powder. Gradually, the ore contained in the stone was revealed as only the tip of the iceberg.
A jade green ore glimmered beautifully as more water washed the stone clean, and everyone’s eyes widened incredulously!
“Jade ore!” Exclaimed the crowd, revealing the value of Su Lingsheng’s ore.
Both the jade ore and gold plated ore are equally popular rare ores. Even though there was not much difference in their rarity, but the demand for jade ore is madly higher than that of the gold plated ore. The jade ore naturally carries very strong magical powers and was highly sought after by sorcerers. As long as one possesses a jade ore—be it refining or using their powers—they could benefit from a much more efficient effect.
When Su Lingsheng saw the tinge of jade green on the jade ore, a pleased smile emerged on her face. She arrogantly looked at Ji Fengyan, and her eyes showed her confidence and determination to win!
The market price of a jade ore is higher than the gold plated ore. Moreover, as the grinding continued, half the palm-sized big natural stone in fact had been taken up by the jade ore!
Such proportions were considered almost impossible in the entire realm of stone betting!
The store owner cautiously handed over the jade ore that was still stained with water to Su Lingsheng after the grinding was complete. As he did so, his face was already wrinkled from his wide grin.
“Congratulations to Miss Su, this piece of jade ore has such fine quality that it is a rare treasure. Just this size of jade ore will definitely be worth more than 30 thousand gold coins!”
30 thousand gold coins!
This was the most expensive rare ore ever opened at this store in its entire history!
After the value was announced, everyone was certain of Su Lingsheng’s victory!
The volume of this piece of jade ore had already exceeded the size of Ji Fengyan’s stone. Even if Ji Fengyan was lucky enough to obtain another dream stone, just by comparing the volume, it was impossible for it to have a higher value than this piece of jade ore!
It was easy to determine the winner this time!
Su Lingsheng’s satisfied smile was masked by her haughty look. She held the jade ore in her hands and gave Ji Fengyan a look with irreverence, as a vicious look flashed across her eyes, causing a person’s hair to stand on end.
“A jade ore worth 30 thousand gold coins, I am curious to find out how you wish to turn the tables in this round,” Su Lingsheng looked at Ji Fengyan. She was already eager to witness the scene of this country bumpkin embarrassing herself by crawling around Ji City.
However, a look of indifference still remained on Ji Fengyan’s face. She shot a look at Su Lingsheng and slowly glanced at the crowd who was watching the show.
She saw hideous look of eagerness on all these foreign faces.
“Seems like it is indeed not easy to win your piece of jade ore.” Ji Fengyan laughed softly.
“You may expect a miracle to happen, of course, that is if the Gods care about you,” Su Lingsheng scoffed.
Ji Fengyan raised her brows, looked at the unattractive stepping stone, and her lips formed a grin. “Maybe I am really doted on by the Gods.”
