Chapter 47: Are You Surprised?
Lucky Man A’s fortuitous opportunity was a Spirit Ore today.
Shen Tian could only see where the ore was located and how it looked previously. Sometimes, he could see a shadow of what was in it.
However, now, he could see clearly what was inside the ore.
This time, it was a small piece of Fire Iron Essence.
The essence was about the size of a finger, and it could be used to refine fire-type supreme-grade flying swords.
The image also showed that Lucky Man A would sell the essence to Shopkeeper Liu for 1,500 Spirit Stones.
Shen Tian’s ability could see the future now!
...
Naturally, Shen Tian was very happy about it.
Each time he picked a Spirit Ore and the ore-cutter opened them, Shopkeeper Liu’s mouth twitched, as though the blade was running on his face instead of the ore.
However, Shopkeeper Liu was glad that the goods Shen Tian obtained today were not a precious item, like the Seven-Treasure Fairy Calabash Seed from three days ago.
He felt much better since he profited from it too.
Although it was not as much compared to Shen Tian, it was a lot to him already.
...
Little Spirit Fairy walked up with three Spirit Ores in her arms.
She looked at Shen Tian and asked embarrassedly, “Brother Shen, I think all three of them have something in them. Could you help me take a look?”
Shen Tian inspected the three spirit ores.
The first one was about the size of a fist and was priced at 50 Spirit Stones.
The second one was in the shape of a long strip and looked somewhat like a cucumber, and was priced at 99 Spirit Stones.
As for the third ore, it was the size of a small watermelon and was priced at 168 Spirit Stones.
Shen Tian smiled slightly and asked, “Which one of these ores do you like more?”
Little Spirit Fairy thought for a moment and replied, “I used the secret technique to investigate and found that the long strip of ore contains the densest ominous power. There should be something good inside!”
Shen Tian smiled and said, “There is a supreme-grade Dharma artifact, the Phoenix Feather Hairpin, in it.
“But its energy source was depleted. It should be worth about 30-50,000 Spirit Stones.”
In the images he saw, Shopkeeper Liu would offer 50,000 Spirit Stones for it.
He believed that the price should be around there!
Sssss!
The crowd was amazed.
The ore priced at 99 Spirit Stones contains something worth 50,000 Spirit Stones?
That’s 500 times the value!
What a good deal for the buyer!
Little Spirit Fairy was shocked.
He can tell what’s in the ore with just a glance?
How is that possible?
Even the Spirit Venerable Divine Water herself could not do it!
Shopkeeper Liu was shocked by his words too.
He felt the pain in his heart again.
He’s obtained a good item again!
Master Celestial, do you really have to hurt me over and over again?
No one ever doubted the judgment of Shen Tian since he had never failed once.
...
Shopkeeper Liu had no choice but to ask his ore-cutter to come over.
The ore was opened slowly, and a divine light escaped from it.
A phoenix appeared on the ore and danced on the ore.
A phoenix sound reverberated throughout the Sacred Spirit Workshop as the ore crust began to fall.
A red and gold hairpin appeared from the ore.
It was indeed a supreme-grade dharma artifact!
There was even some phoenix blood mixed in the hairpin.
Shopkeeper Liu’s eyes lit up. He knew it was a good item.
Before its source had been depleted, it should have been an incredible Spirit artifact.
However, it has been sealed for too long, and thus it is now a supreme-grade Dharma artifact.
If I can find a good refiner and recraft this item, there is a chance for it to become a Spirit artifact again!
Thus, its price will at least reach 200,000 Spirit Stones!
But Master Celestial said it’s only worth 50,000 Spirit Stones?
Could it be that Master Celestial is bad at judging an artifact’s value?
Shopkeeper Liu became very excited.
...
He walked up to Shen Tian and Little Spirit Fairy and said, “Congratulations, this is a good item. I’m willing to offer 50,000 Spirit Stones for it. How about it?”
Little Spirit Fairy was a little reluctant. Like all the other girls, she liked jewels, especially accessories that looked good and high-grade.
Such small items were extremely rare in the cultivation world as it was hard to make them.
Little Spirit Fairy said, helplessly, “I want to keep it, but I do not have so many Spirit Stones.”
Shopkeeper Liu started smiling.
Just sell it!
You need Spirit Stones, right?
JUST SELL IT!
...
Suddenly, a bag appeared before Shopkeeper Liu. Shen Tian smiled and said, “There are five Spirit Crystals here that are worth 5,000 Spirit Stones. We are keeping the hairpin.”
Shopkeeper Liu, “???”
Why?
Shopkeeper Liu was about to cry again.
You said it was worth about 50,000 yourself!
Why are you not selling it now!?
If you are not selling, at least give me the 10% fees for ore-cutting!
,000 Spirit Stones? This hairpin is worth at least 200,000 Spirit Stones!
% is 20,000 Spirit Stones!
...
Shopkeeper Liu felt his heart throbbing in pain.
He could not tell anyone why.
There was a rule in ore gambling.
The shopkeeper could only make an offer once for the goods in an ore.
If the customer felt it was okay, they could sell the item to the shopkeeper.
If not, they could just pay 10% of what the shopkeeper offered and keep the item.
This prevented the shopkeeper from offering low prices when trying to buy the items or giving an overpriced estimate just to get higher fees for ore-cutting.
That would be a dishonest act.
Once found out, the shopkeeper would be suppressed by all their peers around them.
The store’s credibility would also receive a fatal blow as a result.
Therefore, even if Shopkeeper Liu knew that this hairpin’s price was as much as 200,000 Spirit Stones, he could not argue anything!
He could only watch as Shen Tian bought the hairpin with 5,000 Spirit Stones.
Shopkeeper Liu started crying again...
Little Spirit Fairy felt very touched.
“Brother Shen, this...?”
Little Spirit Fairy’s face blushed as Shen Tian passed the hairpin to her.
Is he giving me the hairpin?
So he likes me, right?
Maybe he could help me wear it...
Little Spirit Fairy had a silly smile on her face.
Shen Tian smiled too and said, “I can see that you like this hairpin very much. I’m helping you to pay the 5,000 Spirit Stones first. You can pay me back later when you have the money.
“I have plenty of Spirit Stones on me now. You are welcome.
“Are you surprised?”
Little Spirit Fairy, “???”
