59: Chapter 59 A Powerful Move to Suppress
Compared to Yun Zhe and Ye Xuan, that little fatty Zhao Erhu made Crown Prince Zhou Yuan feel a wave of disgust.
Although everyone appreciates beauty, it depends on who is doing the looking.
"Good heavens, that dazzling light—I fear a supreme treasure has truly been cut out!"
The crowd watching the yuan stone in Ye Xuan's hands couldn't even help but scream.
Just as everyone wanted to get a clear look at this supreme treasure, Ye Xuan raised an eyebrow, a satisfied smile appearing on his lips: "Is this that ancient supreme treasure, the phoenix divine armor?"
The black yuan stone in his hand had faded away, leaving only a dazzling blood-red inner armor and a tattered scroll.
The blood-red inner armor had already caused a sensation among the crowd.
No one paid attention to the other tattered scroll, and Ye Xuan quickly took the opportunity to store it away in his spirit ring.
After all, the greatest opportunity of this trip was this tattered scroll in his hand—the Yuantian Book!
"Congratulations, Senior Brother, on obtaining a supreme treasure." Yun Zhe was the first to offer congratulations, his eyes full of congratulatory intent, before glancing coldly at Zhao Erhu: "Wait a moment; we are waiting for you to fulfill your promise."
Hearing this, Zhao Erhu clenched his fists, bloodshot eyes appearing beneath his lids: "Damn it! Don't think that just because Ye Xuan opened a decent treasure, you can ride on top of me. And you, it's your turn to open yours now!"
"Fine, I will satisfy your request now."
Yun Zhe nodded and began to cut the yuan stone in his hands; a similarly dazzling white light illuminated the market.
Amidst waves of exclamation, a silvery-white longsword appeared before everyone.
"Congratulations, Junior Brother Yun. You truly have a good eye."
Ye Xuan was somewhat surprised, but still offered congratulations, and subsequently began to observe the pure white longsword in Yun Zhe's hand. Engraved on the lower part of the hilt were a few small characters—Haoyue Sword.
Good grief, you really are the Child of Luck. I took this opportunity, and yet the Heavens sent you another one.
"Many thanks for the praise, Senior Brother, but now we should watch his performance!" Yun Zhe responded neither humbly nor arrogantly, then set his sights on Zhao Erhu.
"Hmph, I'm opening it!" Zhao Erhu gritted his teeth and began to channel his Mystic Power into the small yuan blade. Who knew that even though he turned red from holding his breath, there was absolutely no reaction from the small yuan blade, causing everyone present to burst into laughter.
"Young man, if you cannot precisely control the Mystic Power within your body, do not channel it into the yuan blade like those two young friends from before. It will only waste your Mystic Power in vain. Cut it quickly; that is already enough." The black-clad stall owner kindly reminded him.
Zhang Fan was in a good mood today; he had sold quite a few yuan stones and earned several tens of thousands of spirit stones. Although the items those two young men opened might be very valuable, those were items already sold and had nothing to do with him.
"Hmph!"
With a flushed face, Zhao Erhu used the yuan blade to cut the yuan stone in his hand bit by bit. Suddenly, a burst of black mist emanated from the yuan stone.
"This... could it be an ancient demon object? Good heavens, today's spectacle is truly interesting! To be able to see such a divine object appear in the world!"
"No way, the last time an ancient demon object was opened, I fear it was three hundred years ago. Could we be seeing one again today?"
The crowd of onlookers discussed it one after another.
"Hahaha, Ye Xuan, Yun Zhe, you two just wait to kneel and apologize to me!" Zhao Erhu laughed incessantly.
The next second, the yuan blade seemed to have cut into something soft and squishy.
"Pfft—"
An incredibly foul stench instantly exploded across the street. As for our subject, Zhao Erhu, his entire body was covered in the reeking smell of excrement.
"Eww—"
"This kid actually cut out the excrement of an ancient demon object; that is truly something else!"
"Damn it, I couldn't dodge in time and got sprayed all over. Once this kid washes that disgusting stuff off, see if I don't beat him to death!"
Many cultivators standing close by were sprayed with the stench, and they immediately glared unkindly at Zhao Erhu before hurriedly leaving.
As for our Ye Xuan, because his reaction speed was fast enough, he had long since dodged this foul-smelling attack, and he couldn't help but smile playfully: "Heh, Zhao Erhu, you really gave me a surprise!"
When others opened yuan stones, they at least got some spirit stones, but this Zhao Erhu—he opened the excrement of an ancient demon object...
"Moli, it's a good thing you were here; otherwise, I would have been disgraced today." Yun Zhe felt a lingering fear. He lightly waved his hand to disperse the Mystic Power protective shield in front of him, covering his nose, his face dark.
As for our center of attention, Zhao Erhu, he had long since run off and disappeared. Because of the foul-smelling substance on him, no one on the road dared to stop him.
"Elder Bai, did you see that clearly? That Pretty Boy's reaction speed was actually that fast—had he already anticipated this situation?"
Crown Prince Zhou Yuan looked at Ye Xuan solemnly and asked the gray-robed old man behind him.
"That is correct, Your Highness. If this person can grow up, he will definitely be a peerless genius of this generation!"
"This old man suggests that Your Highness should properly get to know this young master."
Nan Xu widened her little eyes and clapped her little hands, exclaiming: "What beautiful inner armor, Brother Zhou Yuan." Her voice was full of envy, "And that brother's silvery longsword is also very good-looking."
"You two young friends are truly lucky!" The black-clad stall owner Zhang Fan slapped his thigh hard; there was only a little disappointment in his eyes, not greed.
After all, stone gambling is like this; it is possible to lose everything, but it is also possible to become wealthy as a mountain in an instant.
With a powerful expert presiding here, at least no one could break the rules of the market.
Suddenly, a strange voice came over.
"Two young friends, would you be willing to sell the supreme treasures in your hands to this old man? I am willing to offer three hundred high-grade spirit stones!"
A white-robed old man squeezed in from the crowd, not caring at all about the stench on the ground, looking at Ye Xuan and Yun Zhe with hopeful eyes. The powerful aura of the Earth Profound Realm around his body instantly locked onto the two of them.
"The Heavens truly help me. Even if these two kids opened supreme treasures, so what? In the end, they won't be able to keep them, right?" Zhao Erhu, having just cleaned himself up, hid in the crowd and was secretly smug.
"Heh, three hundred high-grade spirit stones to buy the supreme treasures in our hands? Yun Zhe, do you agree to this?" Ye Xuan sneered and looked at Yun Zhe beside him.
"Naturally, I do not agree. Three hundred high-grade spirit stones? This old man must have lost his mind to think of such a method to forcibly buy our supreme treasures."
Ye Xuan didn't stay idle either; he looked at that Heaven Profound Realm old man.
