Chapter 759
759 Chapter 757-killing intent
At this time, a new pile of treasure mud balls was sent up. However, they were not big, only the size of a human head.
The foreign cultivators who were waiting to buy the mud balls looked disappointed. They were obviously not satisfied with the size and appearance of the mud balls.
Although the value of a treasure wasn’t in its size, no matter how cheap a big thing was, it still wouldn’t give people the feeling that it was a loss to buy it. If it was a treasure, the big thing was also worth more.
Of course, the prices of these treasure mud balls were not set according to their volume, but a unified price. If someone wanted them at the same time, they could buy them at a higher price.
With the constant bidding and the appearance of treasures from time to time, the atmosphere of the scene was stirred up and it was very lively.
However, the appearance of this batch of mud balls was the same, so it was impossible to make any further deductions based on their appearance. It was meaningless to estimate the weight in this way.
While the onlookers were talking among themselves, the foreign cultivator in red who was in charge of the sales had already picked up a mud ball and started selling it after showing it to the crowd.
Under normal circumstances, the first treasure mud ball of each batch wouldn’t be sold for a high price, because the foreign cultivators weren’t sure of the quality of the mud balls, so they would use the first one as a Pathfinder.
Only when the first treasure mud ball was good would there be people fighting for the rest, calling out high prices one after another!
Just as everyone was hesitating, Tang Zhen was the first to make a bid. He easily bought this hidden treasure mud ball.
After all, he was only testing the effects of the origin pendant. Unlike the foreign cultivators around him, who were very utilitarian, he didn’t think too much about it when he bought it.
Not to mention, he didn’t care much about a building that wasn’t even in the national level.
Since Tang Zhen had bought this hidden treasure mud ball, he would have to open it in public. This was also the rule that was set when he sold it.
If it was an ordinary item, it would be fine, but if it really was a good item, those onlookers who were interested would buy it at a high price, and they could make a lot of money by reselling it.
Tang Zhen slowly walked to the middle of the arena. He looked at the hidden treasure mud ball on the table and extended his finger to gently flick it.
With a crisp sound, the mud casing that had been dried and looked like porcelain instantly shattered, revealing the item wrapped in large grass leaves.
At this moment, everyone stretched their necks and stared at Tang Zhen’s actions without turning their eyes away. They wanted to see what item he had obtained.
He opened the leaf and revealed a fist-sized piece of strange metal that was shining with seven-colored light.
When the onlookers saw this, they immediately revealed puzzled expressions. They didn’t know what this thing was and how much it was worth.
Tang Zhen was slightly startled. A trace of surprise flashed across his eyes. He once again carefully sized up this metal before keeping it without a change in his expression.
“Hey, what’s that? is it a material for forging mo weapons?”
“I’m not sure. Who knows what it is?”
“I say, brother, bring that metal over and let everyone take a look at it for you. Maybe it’s something good and can be sold for a good price!”
For a time, the surrounding spectators discussed animatedly. However, Tang Zhen did not bother with them and directly walked down the stage.
However, at this moment, a foreign cultivator stopped Tang Zhen.
He used a condescending gaze to sweep over Tang Zhen. After which, he said with a somewhat hoarse voice,”Human cultivator, show me what you have. If it’s something I want, I’ll give you a satisfactory price!”
This foreign cultivator was wearing a zebra-like robe. It was hard to tell if it was white with black stripes or black with white stripes, but it looked very strange.
From the aura he exuded, one could confirm that he was a grade-8 Holy master.
It was just that when the other party spoke, there was a sense of arrogance. There was even a hint of command in his tone, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
Tang Zhen swept his eyes over the other party and replied with an expressionless face,”I’m sorry, but I’m keeping this. I’m not planning to sell it.”
He didn’t waste any time and walked around the other party, continuing to walk out of the venue.
The Holy master frowned when he heard this. When he saw that Tang Zhen was about to disappear, he immediately said loudly on purpose,”I’ll give you a million brain beads, and you’ll sell me that piece of metal. How about it?”
As soon as he said that, the onlookers were stunned. They did not expect that the small piece of seven-colored metal could be sold for such a sky-high price!
One must know that a million brain beads were equivalent to ten level six brain beads, and was definitely not a small sum.
Although ten level six brains could be picked up with one hand, hunting monsters was extremely difficult. Sometimes, several cultivators of the same level couldn’t kill a single monster of the same level, and might even be injured by it.
They wanted to kill low-level monsters in the wilderness to accumulate brain matter, but because of the limited number, it was far from worth the effort of high-level cultivators.
The only way was to find a level five building that opened the inter-plane passage and pay to enter to earn brain pearls.
Of course, after a cultivator advanced to the Lord Rank, the method of earning brain beads was no longer limited to killing monsters. However, the more they earned, the more they spent. Thus, most Lord-tier cultivators had a limited number of brain beads in their pockets.
In addition to the continuous recycling of the cornerstone platform, the value of the brain beads had always been stable. The number of one million brain beads was enough to drive many cultivators crazy!
At this moment, many foreign cultivators had greedy expressions on their faces. They kept sizing up Tang Zhen’s back as if they were planning something in their hearts.
Tang Zhen was unmoved when he heard this. However, he was sneering in his heart as a cold glint flashed across his eyes.
The foreign Holy master harbored ill intentions and actually shouted out those words in public. It was obvious that he intended to use such a method to force Tang Zhen to sell the piece of metal to him.
However, this fellow’s offer was too insincere. He only offered a million brain beads, did he really think he was a club?
If the other party were to offer 100 low grade origin stones, Tang Zhen would have regarded him highly. This was because the other party did indeed have good eyesight and was able to recognize the origin of this special metal.
However, looking at his style of doing things now, there was no need for that!
When the Holy master saw that Tang Zhen was unmoved, he rolled his eyes and shouted again, ” “I don’t care who you are, as long as you come to me for that piece of metal, I can exchange it for 1.5 million brain beads!”
When the cultivators heard this, their hearts moved. The cultivators who originally had an attitude of watching the fun were now eager to try.
Tang Zhen, who was about to step out of the arena, suddenly stopped in his tracks. He slowly turned his head and looked at the foreign Holy master with a dark expression.
A faint murderous aura spread out from his body.
The other party’s words were too sinister. It was equivalent to telling all the cultivators present that no matter who had that piece of metal, they could exchange it for 1.5 million brain beads from him!
As a result, Tang Zhen had become the target of public criticism. If he didn’t have any ability, he might not be able to live until tomorrow morning.
Even a man made of mud would have some anger, not to mention that Tang Zhen had killed countless people. He had even killed a dozen King level enemies. How could he allow a three star horde leader to frame him in public?
At this moment, the foreign Holy master stood with his hands behind his back. When he saw Tang Zhen looking at him with an unkind expression, he immediately revealed a proud smile and snorted,”Human cultivator, it seems like you’ve thought it through and are ready to sell it to me?
Hehe, that’s right!
However, that was then and this was now. Right now, you’re selling it for 500000 brain beads, while others are still selling it for 1.5 million!
I’m asking you, are you selling?”
Tang Zhen chuckled when he heard that. He glanced at the foreign Holy master and asked in a curious tone, ” “Actually, other than this piece of metal, I have an even more precious item. I wonder if you are interested in buying it?”
The foreign Holy master’s eyes lit up and he asked urgently, ” “What’s that? show me!”
Tang Zhen stretched out his hand and pointed at the foreign Holy master, saying,”It’s your dog life, 100 million brain beads, no bargaining!”
Tang Zhen’s words immediately caused the surroundings to become silent!
