Chapter 581: Peculiar Ancient Stones

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Xu Que’s voice echoed throughout the yard.

Hearing his words, everyone present was completely stunned.

This young man must be nuts! He’s simply trying to turn the Stone-Cutting Convention into a mess! No one should be like this!

Liu Jingning pulled Xu Que’s sleeve a bit and spoke to him with a rather serious face. “Xu Que, do you have any idea what you’re saying?! You can’t possibly buy off all the ancient stones!”

The two Elders from the Jiang and Gong families were surprised and looked at the strange young man standing in front of them.

In the Cultivation World, there weren’t that many extremely influential families, but both the Jiang and the Gong family were part of the few. Even so, neither of the two families dared call themselves the “Big Brother.” They were still not powerful enough to control the entire Eastern Continent.

That was why neither of the two families dared take all the ancient stones themselves after they had been dug out from the outskirts of the Heaven Dragon Cave.: in case other families in the continent condemned them harshly.

Therefore, the two families had decided to take some of the stones and hold this Stone-Cutting Convention . On the one hand, they could comfort other families. On the other hand, they themselves would get many Spiritual Stones in return.

They had never predicted Xu Que would want to buy off all the ancient stones . . .

Someone shook his head and sneered, “You’re being too naive, young man!”

“You think it’s quite something for you to get that amount of Spiritual Stones, don’t you? Be careful—your ambition might bring you back down!”

“Things are getting more and more interesting!”

Many young elites sneered at Xu Que.

All the other powerful men from other influential families frowned as they were a bit upset. Even though they had just bought the stinky tofu from Xu Que, his buying off all the ancient stones would most certainly destroy their interests and goals.

“Young man, you can’t buy off all the ancient stones!” Feng Wudao said.

After all, the Stone-Cutting Convention was not just a convention, it had a lot to do with all the big families’ interests. Therefore, Feng Wudao didn’t say too much—just in case other people thought he was on Xu Que’s side.

Xu Que smiled. “Why can’t I? Because I’m handsome and rich? You think that’s my fault?”

Hearing this, Feng Wudao shook his head and did not answer.

Liu Jingning sent him a voice message. “Xu Que, pick up all the Spiritual Stones!”

“Don’t be such a coward! I know what I’m doing. Besides, I don’t intend to have all the ancient stones myself.”

Knowing this, Liu Jingning was a bit relieved. But still, she was very worried.

The Elder from the Jiang family smiled at Xu Que. “Young man, are you sure you want to buy off all the ancient stones?”

“Of course! But it seems that no one else wants me to!” Xu Que joked.

The Elder from the Jiang family smiled. “You are funny! If you really want to, no one here will stop you!”

“Never mind!” Xu Que said. “I’m not a greedy person and I don’t know much about stone-cutting. I don’t want to get into a conflict with any of you.”

“So you mean you’re not going to buy all the stones?!”

“Yes! I will just buy a few stones later. But you must give me ten ancient stones for free as you have promised!”

“Of course!” The Elder from the Jiang Family smiled. Then he looked at the rest of people and said, “If you all don’t mind, why not let this young man choose ten ancient stones first?”

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

After all, compared with the huge amount of ancient stones lying on the ground, ten ancient stones was nothing. Besides, they all believed Xu Que couldn’t possibly pick out a good one, since stone-cutting relied not only on luck, but experience.

Then, the Elder from the Jiang Family looked at Xu Que and said, “Young man, please!”

“Great!” Xu Que answered, and he jumped into the center of the yard.

The servants had already laid out many stones on the ground. Each of them had a very strange form. For example, one was as small as a ball, one was bigger than a man, and so on. Also, all the stones were simultaneously giving out a strange energy.

“This is quite something!” Xu Que exclaimed. Standing in front of the pile of ancient stones, he felt as if he were standing in a dead land and felt rather uncomfortable.

Xu Que summoned the System and took the X-ray machine out of it. He held it and started to scan the ancient stones.

Seeing this, everyone frowned.

“What is he doing?!”

“What is the thing in his palm? I don’t think it’s a magic object, and why on earth it is giving out a red light?”

“He is just putting on a show! Stone-cutting requires good eyes and experience. Does he really think he can see through the stone with that object?”

Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

“Haha!”

“Ha!”

“Hahaha!”

In fact, with the help of the X-ray machine, Xu Que indeed saw through the stone.

The X-ray perspective machine projected the image of the inside of the stone onto the screen of the System, and Xu Que saw it.

However, Xu Que was shocked by what he saw: most of the ancient stones were just crap, and there was simply nothing inside. He also spot a stone in which there was a Elder’s head. The Elder’s eyes were closed tightly. It seemed that he had died a long time ago, but the skin and flesh on his head were still intact.

“Crikey! This is really terrifying!”

Xu Que was not that surprised by this scene, since in the Cultivation World, strange things happened everyday.

Xu Que then continue to examine other stones.

After a short while, he found a stone in which there was a piece of Dragon Soul Element. This made Xu Que rather excited.

After careful examination, Xu Que found that there were exactly twenty stones in which there were treasures, and including the one in which there was an Elder’s head and the one in which there was a piece of Dragon Soul Element, there were twenty-two good stones. The rest were all crap!

“I have made up my mind! I want ten of these and twelve more of those . . . ” Xu Que spoke after picking up the ten stones and pointing to the other twelve.
