Tian Sheng nodded: "I understand."
"Look at those two people, who do you think will win?" Patriarch Tian looked at the stage and asked meaningfully.
Tian Sheng replied without thinking, "Of course it's the Shui Yuyan from the Shui Family. There was no light at that end of the blade and there is no hope."
Patriarch Tian shook his head: "I think very highly of that girl Hua Ruge."
"Father thinks that she really has the ability?" Tian Sheng asked.
Patriarch Tian squinted, and did not reply.
The big families below saw that Shui Yuyan's Exquisite Spirit Crystal was cheering for her, but at the same time, they felt pity. Their entire fortune had been lost just like that, wouldn't their efforts have been in vain?
Shui Yuyan laughed, and said: "I said it's better if you give up."
When the second blade was about to fall from Stone Cutter, Hua Ruge waved his hand: "Wait."
Her gaze landed on Shui Yuyan as she asked with a smile on her face, "Do you want to increase the bid?"
"You still dare to raise the price?" Shui Yuyan repeated somewhat doubtfully.
"Pill furnace." Hua Ruge looked at her: "Do you want it?"
Shui Yuyan squinted his eyes, and was immediately moved, that was a Divine Equipment.
But she was even more curious as to why Hua Ruge was betting.
Shui Xiaoze was also unsure, if he was fighting with someone else, he would definitely increase the price without any hesitation. One must know that there were only a few divine tools in the world, and they were much more precious than those mining shops.
The surrounding clan members felt that Hua Ruge had gone crazy. Although they had never seen the pill furnace in her mouth, they could tell from the expression of the Shui Family that it was something extraordinary.
At this moment, the bystanders regretted betting so much. They had never seen anyone who was destined to raise the price after losing a match. If this wasn't a screw loose, then what was?
"I don't want much either. I'll trade the pill furnace for twenty coins each from the mine and the shop, plus or minus one word." The thing that Hua Ruge was looking at this time was Shui Xiaoze who was sitting at the side.
Shui Xiaoze subconsciously wanted to agree when he heard this number, it was simply too reasonable. But after being cheated by Hua Ruge too many times, knowing that it was possible to get something cheap in front of him, Shui Xiaoze suspected that it was a trap, and did not dare to easily agree.
Right at this moment, a gust of wind blew past everyone's heads, and when they focused their gazes, they saw that Shui Zhenyun had already appeared in front of the Shui Clan's seats. Actually, he had been secretly watching the competition all this while, but now that he had made his decision, he had no choice but to come out.
"Since you're so overconfident, we'll do as you say. We'll raise the stakes." Shui Zhenyun solemnly said.
With Patriarch Tian holding him back, he was not afraid that Hua Ruge would go back on his words.
Shui Xiaoze and Shui Yuyan were very much in favor of this decision, but the other Shui Clan disciples were not as optimistic. After all, they were always tricked when they were certain that they would definitely win.
"Patriarch Tian is straightforward indeed." Hua Ruge laughed and said to the Stone Cutter: "I will trouble you to cut the stone open and take a look."
As a result, Stone Cutter picked a different angle and very carefully slashed down with his blade. After all, this was the rock with the highest stakes that he had gambled on.
Everyone's attention was focused on the stone, wanting to know if there were spirit crystals or not.
The knife fell, and everyone felt as if their eyes were blinded by the light. In their minds, there was only one image, an incomparably blazing silver light soared into the sky, giving off an extremely pure spiritual energy, and it seemed to be even purer than the spiritual energy in their bodies.
When their eyes recovered, they were prepared and when they circulated their spiritual energy to their eyes, they could see clearly.
From the corner of that small stone, a silver light could be seen, a pure aura which no one had ever felt before.
Everyone was stunned. This included Stone Cutter, as he had never seen such a treasure before, so he didn't know what he should do next.
"Master, you don't have to be too concerned. Just cut it as it is." Hua Ruge said from the side.2
It took a quarter of an hour for a piece of rock to be peeled off, revealing a walnut-sized piece of silver Spirit Crystal. There was not a single speck of impurity in it, it was incredibly beautiful.
"What is this?" Some people could not help but ask. They could tell that this was a treasure, but they did not know what it was.
Many people in the crowd looked at each other in dismay.
Shui Zhenyun was unable to stabilize his body and took a step back, his face ashen.
Shui Xiaoze immediately stepped forward to support her.
On the stage, Shui Yuyan's eyes were wide open as he said with an expression of disbelief: "Impossible, this is impossible."
Patriarch Tian's pupils shrank as he asked the person behind him: "Where did this stone come from?"
Their mines definitely would not produce such spirit crystals, or else who would be willing to sell them?
"All of our stones were brought from the gambling den many years ago. We can't find them anymore." the man replied.
Patriarch Tian's face was filled with regret: "What a pity."
The people watching were from the big families after all, so they could be considered experienced and knowledgeable. Those slightly older people recognized them, but they could not believe what they were seeing and did not say anything.
Hua Ruge could feel that this was a good thing, but honestly, she had no idea what it was.
She looked down at Tuoba Rui, only to hear the latter shaking his head in response.
"Could this be the legendary Heaven grade spirit crystal?" After a while, someone in the crowd finally spoke up.
Many people sucked in a cold breath when they heard this. Exquisite Spirit Crystal were hard to come by, so Heavenly Grade Spirit Crystals were considered heaven and earth treasures. It was said that there were only a few mines in the world that could dig out a few Heaven Grade Spirit Crystals, and all of them were supreme treasures.
The different types of Heaven grade spirit crystals had different uses. Using them as cultivation resources was a huge waste and was usually used to treat various injuries and illnesses.
Hua Ruge only understood after listening to the discussions below, but she wanted to know what kind of cure the Silver Heaven Ranked Spirit Crystal could cure? Right now, her mother, Tuoba Rui and the Young Master Wu Hen all had different kinds of wounds on their bodies, so it would be enough if she could use one of them.
However, no one said anything for a long time. They were only discussing how rare and priceless this Heaven grade spirit crystal was. Although this piece was very small, it would absolutely crush Shui Yuyan's piece.
This really wasn't on the same level.
Of course, everyone quickly focused their attention on Hua Ruge, with most of them deep in thought.
From the looks of it, Hua Ruge was not just messing up, he was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.
The Patriarch Tian also spoke out: "I never thought that a Heaven grade spirit crystal would appear in our Falling Moon City. Patriarch Hua is truly a genius.
"The Patriarch Tian is wise." All the great families echoed his sentiments.
