Chapter 2101 - 1928: Lost?

Elder Luodun directly stepped inside, moving with the grace of flowing clouds. His originally murky eyes suddenly appeared much more spirited, shining brightly. He first examined one Chaos Primordial Stone, then another, his ten slender fingers continuously tapping on one Chaos Primordial Stone after another, with sparks of light flickering at his fingertips.

It could be seen that any Chaos Primordial Stone struck by these fingertip sparks emitted various sounds, be it crisp, loud, deep, or humming, each different from the others.

However, anyone familiar with this practice was astonished, for this was a unique Stone Identification Method among stone appraisers, and the skills of Elder Luodun were beyond what an ordinary stone appraiser could execute.

It was evident that Elder Luodun was exerting some real effort, but clearly not using his full power yet.

In the end, he selected a Chaos Primordial Stone about one meter tall, which took on the grand shape of a Roc spreading its wings to strike the sky, sharp and stunning. Its value reached a staggering twenty-three million Spirit Stones, nearly matching the value of the previous two Chaos Primordial Stones.

In response, Ye Chen merely smiled without saying a word, but he had already stepped inside, walking among the Chaos Primordial Stones. Before long, he selected a Chaos Primordial Stone the size of a human head, though it appeared quite ordinary and completely lacked the imposing presence of his opponent’s choice.

Seeing this, Guu Jiuhua couldn’t help but wipe away a cold sweat and stepped forward saying, "Lord, are you—"

He was anxious, as this Chaos Primordial Stone appeared to be of much lower value compared to the one Elder Luodun selected, with the opponent’s being worth twenty-three million Spirit Stones, and this one only six million.

Could it be that Lord Ye Chen knows he’s going to lose and doesn’t want to waste more Spirit Stones at this time?

Ye Chen merely gave a mysterious smile, "Relax, let’s see first, okay?"

By this time, Elder Luodun had already begun to cut open the Chaos Primordial Stone, and the silver knife about a ruler long fell like a flash, transforming into a beam of blade light that completely enveloped the Chaos Primordial Stone, continuously shedding layers of stone dust.

The one-meter-tall Chaos Primordial Stone was rapidly shrinking at an astonishing rate.

Before long, the Chaos Primordial Stone had shrunk by about a third, and with a crack, it suddenly split open, revealing a dazzling Divine Spiritual Origin.

"It’s Divine Spiritual Origin, could it be as large as two feet in radius?"

A Divine Spiritual Origin two feet in radius was far more valuable than a previous head-sized one, worth at least a staggering ten million Spirit Stones.

However, when the entire Chaos Primordial Stone cracked open, the Divine Spiritual Origin was only one foot in size, much smaller than the imagined two feet but still about two times the size of a human head, estimated at around three million Spirit Stones.

But it was still quite good.

"A Divine Spiritual Origin worth three million Spirit Stones!" Guu Jiuhua turned pale.

Elder Luodun frowned, clearly dissatisfied, but it was still not bad.

Moreover, this was a stone gambling match; the loser would give Spirit Stones, the Yingg Family would not have to.

Luo Yingu looked at Ye Chen with a sneer, "Your turn, let’s see if this arrogant young brat can cut out a Treasure more valuable than Elder Luodun’s."

But everyone looking at the Chaos Primordial Stone, merely the size of a human head, thought it unlikely, not even if it were entirely Divine Spiritual Origin, unless it hid a higher value Treasure.

But was it possible?

Ye Chen didn’t speak, and with a simple, direct slap, he cracked open a large half of the Chaos Primordial Stone. Half turned to dust, leaving nothing, while the other revealed no Treasure light.

Many noted figures shook their heads at this sight, evidently an ignorant little brat, fearless in youthful folly, daring not only to challenge Elder Luodun but doing so with crude methods, clearly an immovable novice.

Guu Jiuhua sighed, having once harbored some hope, now harboring none.

Ye Chen continued, slapping down, and with a cracking sound, blinding blue light suddenly burst from the stone’s crevices, leaving everyone stunned.

"Blue light? Could it be Star Blue Silver again?"

"Maybe it’s Star Blue Silver, but how large is it?"

Clearly, few expected there to be a Treasure in Ye Chen’s Chaos Primordial Stone, yet if it were half a head-sized Star Blue Silver, it would indeed be worth four to five million Spirit Stones or more.

Everyone’s heart was lifted, including Guu Jiuhua, who couldn’t help but swallow.

Luo Yingu cursed silently; this kid couldn’t possibly have cut out a large Star Blue Silver, could he?

However, as the Chaos Primordial Stone split completely open, it revealed merely a baby fist-sized piece of Star Blue Silver, gently rolling out, glowing with radiant blue light.

"Only that small, not even worth a million Spirit Stones, surely Elder Luodun won."

Many shook their heads; such a small piece of Star Blue Silver was unlikely to beat Elder Luodun.

Luo Yingu laughed heartily, "Thought this brat would cut a large Star Blue Silver, just this much, already a loss. Hahaha, Guu Jiuhua, you chose the wrong person."

Guu Jiuhua’s face was ashen, unwilling to accept defeat but unable to blame Ye Chen, who was only fighting for him.

He said to Ye Chen, "Lord, you need not blame yourself, after all, the opponent is Elder Luodun."

Ye Chen said, "Why should I blame myself?"

Guu Jiuhua was taken aback, frowning a bit, about to speak, but Ye Chen laughed, "Look what it is first."

Isn’t it Star Blue Silver? Guu Jiuhua suspiciously looked over, but upon a closer look, he couldn’t help but laugh heartily, quite delighted, then turned to Luo Yingu, saying, "Luo Yingu, you really think we lost?"

Luo Yingu frowned, "Guu Jiuhua, the facts are right before your eyes; your side cut only that little bit of Star Blue Silver, how can you win against us?"

Others were puzzled too.

Guu Jiuhua sneered, "Indeed, if it were Star Blue Silver, we lost. But what if it is Star Blue Silver Essence?"

The words fell like a meteor crashing into the sea, setting off a storm.

"What, it’s Star Blue Silver Essence!?"

"Quick, look, if it’s Star Blue Silver Essence, it’ll be quite the spectacle."

The scene erupted in chaos, everyone gazing at the baby fist-sized Star Blue Silver, which initially looked no different from ordinary Star Blue Silver. But upon closer inspection, they saw strands of golden threads interwoven, innate Dao Patterns, extraordinarily rare.
