Chapter 510: Demonic Knife and Dead Egg
Manager Wan took the three selected spirit restricting stones to a spacious area.
Nie Zhe said, "Manager Wan, I'll cut the ones I chose myself. I won't trouble you."
Manager Wan nodded without saying much. If everyone did this, he would save a lot of effort.
The grey-clothed old man beside Nie Zhe walked up to the square spirit restricting stone, circled it, and after observing carefully, took out a small knife and began cutting.
Looking at his technique and cutting speed, compared to Manager Wan, he was not inferior at all, and even faster.
This was normal, after all, Manager Wan was the manager of a branch of the Azure Firmament Merchant Guild, not a master specializing in cutting stones.
The spirit restricting stone Wu Xingyun chose was five feet long and as thick as a bucket.
Manager Wan cut this one first, but by the time he started, Nie Zhe's third grand-uncle had already cut a small pile of stone shavings over there.
At this moment, most of the people on the second floor had gathered around. No one spoke; they were all watching quietly and seriously.
Before long, the grey-clothed old man completely cut open the spirit restricting stone, revealing what was inside.
It was a red brocade box. Upon opening the box, there was a palm-sized ancient Talisman inside. The Talisman had tiny inscriptions that looked extremely profound.
Even Cultivators who didn't understand Talismans could tell that this Talisman was definitely not cheap.
After the grey-clothed old man saw clearly, his expression was slightly calm.
"This is a Five Elements Divine Talisman. After activation, it forms a protective shield with the power of the Five Elements, which can withstand all attacks below the Emperor Realm and can last for up to the time it takes to brew a cup of tea."
Manager Wan also stopped his hands and nodded affirmatively.
Although it wasn't an Emperor Realm level treasure, it was still quite good. Life-saving treasures are worth more than other treasures of the same level, so buying this Talisman for a thousand supreme-grade spirit stones was still a small profit.
But Nie Zhe was still a little disappointed. He felt it wasn't stable enough, so his brows couldn't help but furrow as he turned his head to look at the spirit restricting stone in Manager Wan's hand.
He prayed in his heart that those two wouldn't open up a more precious treasure.
"Crack…."
A slight sound came.
"Not good!"
As soon as Manager Wan's voice fell.
"Bang!!"
The spirit restricting stone in front of him suddenly exploded. Immediately after, a violent malevolent aura surged into the sky, as if an ancient demon had been released. The rolling demonic energy could even be clearly perceived by Cultivators in the outer city.
This kind of anomaly caused many Cultivators present to subconsciously retreat.
Manager Wan, who was closest to the spirit restricting stone, was even sent flying backward.
The next moment.
"Boom boom boom!!"
Terrifying auras instantly descended.
Beside the spirit restricting stone, several figures appeared. One of them, an old man with white hair and beard, raised his hand and tapped a few times in the void.
The dense malevolent aura was instantly collected, the rolling demonic energy vanished in the blink of an eye, and the space around the spirit restricting stone was also confined.
These figures were Emperor Realm powerhouses from the Azure Firmament Merchant Guild, specially sent from the headquarters to ensure the success of the stone gambling event, just in case of any accidents.
If they hadn't acted, the Emperor Realm powerhouses in the city would have also made a move.
At this time, everyone saw clearly that there was a saber there, a blood-red demon saber.
Manager Wan had actually cut open a demon saber from the spirit restricting stone.
Everyone present finally recovered their senses and slowly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the Emperor Realm powerhouses.
"My heavens, it's actually a demon saber!"
"No wonder the malevolent aura was so heavy, it was too terrifying."
"This spirit restricting stone is truly amazing, it can even reveal a demon saber."
"This demon saber must have been too threatening, which is why it was sealed in the spirit restricting stone."
This spirit restricting stone was chosen by Wu Xingyun, but he also didn't expect that a demon saber would be revealed from it.
However, after careful investigation with Divine Sense, it could be found that this demon saber was at the saint weapon level.
It's just that the demonic energy on it was particularly dense, making it difficult for ordinary Cultivators to use. Forcing its use could even easily lead to backlash. If a Demon Cultivators used it, it could unleash even more powerful strength.
Most likely, this demon saber was forged by a powerful Demon Cultivators.
The Emperor Realm powerhouses of the Azure Firmament Merchant Guild acted together, forcibly suppressing and sealing all the demonic nature on the demon saber.
This demon saber temporarily became a normal saint weapon, but its power was even less than that of an ordinary saint weapon.
If the Red Moon Sect, the Demon Sect among the twenty dominant forces in the Tian Yuan World, knew about this, they would definitely try every means to obtain this demon saber, as it was simply tailor-made for their Demon Cultivators.
If this saber were in the hands of a Demon Cultivators, its value would be higher than Nie Zhe's Five Elements Divine Talisman. If it's just in its current state, then it's far inferior to the Five Elements Divine Talisman.
Perhaps this is why Xu Chen observed that the value of this spirit restricting stone was unstable.
Who wins specifically still depends on what the last spirit restricting stone can reveal.
Manager Wan was also a Saint Realm powerhouse. He was just caught off guard earlier, which is why he was sent flying by the powerful demonic energy. He was not seriously injured.
"Stone gambling continues."
Manager Wan returned to the table, properly placed the sealed demon saber aside, and continued cutting the last one.
The one Xu Muge chose was a large sphere. Under the cutting of Manager Wan's dagger, it visibly became smaller layer by layer.
Just as this sphere became the size of a washbasin, it suddenly changed. Peeling back a bit of the stone skin, it could be seen that the inside was greyish-white.
When more stone skin was peeled off, everyone could see that it was actually a monster egg inside.
After all the stone skin was peeled off, the monster egg was completely presented before everyone. After careful investigation, Manager Wan frowned and said.
"From the aura, it can be determined that the monster in this egg is definitely not simple. However, the vitality of this monster egg is extremely weak at the moment. Without top-grade saint medicine, it won't be long before it completely becomes a dead egg."
This is why Xu Chen observed that the value of this spirit restricting stone was unstable.
Xu Ying could also sense the weak life in the egg, like a candle in the wind, which could extinguish at any moment.
So upon hearing this, Xu Ying looked worried. After a moment of thought, she raised her hand and took out an exquisite jade bottle.
"This contains Celestial Spring Holy Water. I wonder if it will be useful?"
Manager Wan's eyes lit up.
"Of course, this kind of saint medicine is rare in the world and has infinite wonderful uses. You just need to drip it onto the egg."
In the Archaic Era, there was a divine mountain in the Tian Yuan World, and on the mountain was a celestial spring. The water from the spring was a top-grade healing saint medicine with numerous wonderful uses, its value immeasurable.
Many forces fought fiercely over this Celestial Spring Holy Water, and eventually the entire divine mountain was destroyed, and the celestial spring disappeared with it. The remaining Celestial Spring Holy Water in the Tian Yuan World is extremely scarce, and using a bit means there's one bit less.
Manager Wan also didn't expect that Xu Ying would have a treasure of this level like Celestial Spring Holy Water in her hands. This shows how highly the Piaomiao Immortal Palace values Xu Ying.
