2442 Strange stone
“To put it bluntly, it’s just a stone that no one wants. Strange stone? to think you can say that.” The people beside him laughed loudly.
“This stone is really different. I’ve tried it before, but even a sword can’t cut it open. It’s definitely not an ordinary item.” Old du said anxiously.
“With that Broken Sword of yours, what else can it cut apart from firewood?” The first person pointed at the long sword at his waist, which was already badly damaged.
“I can’t be bothered with you. Don’t affect my business. I’m still waiting to get some cultivation resources to advance to Sage level.” Old DU’s face turned even redder.
“This brother, you look like a dignified person. One look and I can tell that you’re not an ordinary person. I just found some rare stones from the heavenly Mountain cold pond. Come and take a look.” Elder du stopped a cultivator who was dressed in an extraordinary manner and said.
“Get lost.” The cultivator glanced at the stone in his hand and pushed him aside.
“Brother, you look extraordinary. I can tell with one look …” Old du was not angry or discouraged. He stopped another cultivator.
The man didn’t even look at him, and just walked past him with his head raised.
After that, old du stopped a few more cultivators. Unfortunately, no one paid him any attention. They even pushed him aside before he could finish his sentence.
It was no wonder. There were hundreds and thousands of cultivators who came to the cloud Ridge market to trade resources. There were countless rare treasures, so who would pay attention to such an unremarkable piece of broken stone? Moreover, his strength was really a little too low. What good things could he find?
Ling Chuxi stopped in her tracks and looked at the grayish-white stone in old DU’s hand. Her eyes lit up. She had once seen the description of a spiritual object in the ‘all spirits log’, and it was actually 90% similar to this stone.
“Sigh, this is really good stuff. Why doesn’t anyone believe it?” Old du sighed in disappointment.
“It’s easy for others to believe you. Just find an appraiser to help you appraise it.” A person beside him said.
“I’ve spent all the spirit stones I’ve saved up for cultivation. How can I afford to hire an appraiser? besides, if it’s really just an ordinary stone, I won’t lose out much.” Elder du said with a bitter face. It seemed that he himself was not very confident in this so-called strange stone.
“Then you’d better focus on your cultivation. While your vital Qi hasn’t formed a core yet, if you work hard, you might have a chance of advancing to the sage level. If you continue to waste time like this, it’ll all be over.” The person beside him advised earnestly.
Elder du looked dejected. He knew his own aptitude best. If he didn’t have a good opportunity, he would probably never be able to advance to the sage level in his life.
“Let me see your stone.” Just as old du was feeling extremely disappointed, a pair of slender Jade-like hands stretched out in front of him. It was Ling Chuxi.
“Oh, okay.” Old du seemed to wake up from a dream and passed the stone to Ling Chuxi.
“Elder sister Chuxi, this looks just like an ordinary stone.” Zi Yin asked curiously.
They had noticed the middle-aged man long ago and sympathized with him, but the stone was too ordinary. They couldn’t see anything special about it, so they didn’t take it to heart.
“It’s not like I’ll lose anything by looking. ” Ling Chuxi suppressed the excitement in her heart and said calmly as she took the stone.
The entire stone was grayish-white and looked no different from ordinary stones. However, when he held it in his hand, it had a Jade-like texture. However, when he felt it carefully, he realized that it was much harder than Jade. It was comparable to iron essence, but its weight was light, not much different from wood. It was just as old du had said. It was not made of gold, wood, Jade, or stone.
