“50 billion UC!”

A quiet hush fell over the surroundings as the astonishing number echoed, leaving everyone with a sense of surrealism.

A mineral, initially valued in the hundreds of millions, had yielded a treasure worth 50 billion UC. What kind of luck was this?

“How do we know if it’s worth 50 billion like what you’ve said? The uses of this so-called Celestial Spirit Leaf are still open to debate,” Hengzang Mo spoke up at this moment.

50 billion had completely surpassed the value of his ore!

It wasn’t just a small difference. It was an overwhelming excess of 38 billion. There was simply no comparison.

“Of course, if you don’t believe it, you can check for yourselves. 1 believe, aside from me, there must be others who know the value of this Celestial Spirit Leaf,” Wang Teng said with a faint smile.

In truth, most of the people already believed him. Wang Teng spoke convincingly, with reason and evidence that made it difficult not to trust him.

Moreover, as he pointed out, there were still others who knew the value of this Celestial Spirit Leaf. A lie like this would eventually be exposed. Lying was pointless.

“Hengzang Mo, what do you mean? Your ore can have a higher value but mine can’t?” Shouzang Caiyun said indignantly.

At this moment, she was enveloped in a sudden joy, and she would not allow anyone to spoil it.

What’s more, Wang Teng was the one who guided her to choose this ore. Since he could choose such a highly valuable ore from among many, how could he not know its true worth?

Her trust in Wang Teng was no longer the same as before.

Money talks!

However, she seemed to have forgotten that Wang Teng’s ore had not been cut yet.

As long as the value of Wang Teng’s ore far exceeded everyone else’s, all the treasures extracted would belong to him.

From the beginning, Wang Teng was guaranteed to win.

These five geniuses from the major families, even if they practiced eye discernment for another hundred years, wouldn’t be able to play with Wang Teng.

“Hmph!” Hengzang Mo’s expression turned ugly. He snorted and kept quiet.

With eager anticipation, the crowd had enjoyed the spectacle of the Celestial Spirit Leaf for a while and then shifted their focus to the last piece of ore.

This ore belonged to Guizang Yan!

“This is… Fire Cloud Dark Ore!”

“That’s right, it’s a Fire Cloud Dark Ore, an excellent material for forging fire-element universe-level weapons, and its price is quite high!”

“Who will give an estimate?”

“Why not let this young brother make an estimate? His insight is unparalleled!”

The gazes of the crowd landed on Wang Teng, some wanting him to make an estimate, hoping to see if he truly had extraordinary abilities.

“Brother Han, do you know anything about the Fire Cloud Dark Ore?” Guizang Yan asked.

“I have some knowledge,” Wang Teng replied.

“Then could you please help us estimate its value?” Guizang Yan said.

“15 billion!” Wang Teng replied directly.

“15 billion!” Guizang Yan raised his eyebrows. This price was slightly higher than Hengzang Mo’s. He couldn’t help but look towards an elderly man beside him.

“This young brother’s estimate is a bit high. In my opinion, the highest estimate should be 13 billion.” The elderly man spoke.

“This Fire Cloud Dark Ore weighs a total of 6,800 kilograms. In the virtual universe, there was once a piece of Fire Cloud Dark Ore weighing 3,200 kilograms, which sold for a price of six billion. Comparing this, selling this piece for 15 billion is not excessive, especially considering its larger volume,” Wang Teng explained casually.

The elderly man’s expression changed slightly. He immediately accessed the virtual network, seemingly searching for something.

After a moment, he glanced at Wang Teng and sighed, saying, “1 underestimated the value! 1 am truly inferior! Truly inferior!”

The crowd’s gaze towards Wang Teng changed once again. It seemed that this young man was indeed extraordinary.

The elder was a famous mining engineer from the Five Burials Hotel, familiar with various treasures. His estimates were usually accurate, and many people trusted him to help appraise items.

Unexpectedly, in front of this black-haired youth, he admitted that his estimate was not very accurate.

This was clearly acknowledging that his estimate was not on point.

2 billion wasn’t a small sum.

Wang Teng smiled faintly.

This elderly man had quite a thick skin!

Failing to estimate accurately was one thing, but claiming to be conservative about it was trying to save face.

He looked at the elderly man with a meaningful glance, making the old man feel a bit embarrassed.

The elderly man couldn’t help but be thankful that Wang Teng didn’t press the issue further. Otherwise, he would have embarrassed himself even more.

Hengzang Mo’s expression became extremely unsightly. It was alright that Shouzang Caiyun’s ore was more valuable than his. After all, it hadn’t been confirmed.

But now, even Guizang Yan’s ore exceeded his. He had no room to refute, and no matter how he looked at it, he was already a definite loser.

At this moment, the phrase “don’t celebrate too early” perfectly described his situation!

“Does this mean that Sister Caiyun’s ore has the highest value?” Yizang Xinnuo said.

“Isn’t there still one person who hasn’t cut his rock?” Guizang Yan looked at Wang Teng, sneering, “What are you waiting for? Are you afraid to extract your 50 million ore after seeing ours?”

“You misunderstood!” Wang Teng smiled slightly. “The most valuable one naturally has to be kept for last.”

“The most valuable?” Hengzang Mo gave a cold laugh. “You’re overestimating yourself. Don’t talk about Caiyun’s ore. Even mine is something you can’t surpass.”

“My ore was chosen by Brother Han.” Shouzang Caiyun suddenly spoke up.

Hengzang Mo:…

Guizang Yan and Yun Zangxiao were shocked. They suddenly remembered that Yizang Xinnuo and Shouzang Caiyun changed their rocks because of this guy’s suggestion.

For a moment, everyone fell silent, their gazes filled with suspicion as they looked at Wang Teng.

“Go ahead and cut it!” Wang Teng handed the ore to a stone cutter.

The master immediately nodded and took it over seriously. He prepared to cut the ore.

The attention of the surrounding crowd was immediately drawn. The young man’s recent performances indicated that he was no ordinary person. Now, everyone wondered what kind of ore his piece would reveal.

Yizang Xinnuo and Shouzang Caiyun moved closer. Whether Han Zhu could prove his true abilities depended on this piece of ore.

If it truly revealed an ore far superior to everyone else’s, all doubts would dissipate, and no one would dare to say anything against him.

Buzz…

The harsh scraping sound echoed as the stone cutter, wielding an oddly shaped stone-cutting knife, focused intently on the task.

His hands were steady, showing no signs of tremor even while scraping the extremely hard stone skin.

Such precision and stability were unattainable without rich experience and formidable strength.

Every stone-cutting master possessed unique skills.

As time slowly passed, layers of stone skin were peeled away, and the originally not-so-large ore became smaller and smaller. In the blink of an eye, only half of its original size remained, leaving the onlookers somewhat disappointed.

It was halfway through. It looked like this ore was a losing gamble!

“Brother Han, is this the ore you plan to use to win against all of us?” Hengzang Mo couldn’t help but sneer.

“Don’t be in such a hurry. It will be out soon!” Wang Teng looked at him calmly and smiled.

Yizang Xinnuo and Shouzang Caiyun were initially very worried, but seeing him maintain his usual composure, they relaxed a bit.

However, their curiosity grew. The ore had been reduced to half its size. How could it possibly surpass everyone else’s ores?

At this point, they weren’t as concerned about their own victories or defeats as they were about whether Wang Teng could surpass everyone.

It seemed even more intriguing to them.

If Wang Teng won, it would demonstrate an unimaginably high level of mining skills, turning him into a great treasure.

For women, the most enjoyable aspect was often the process of discovering treasures!

Hengzang Mo’s face turned black. This fellow always looked as if victory was in his grasp. This irked him.

Yunzang Xiao and Guizang Yan remained quiet, their expressions slightly solemn as they continued to wait.

As for the spectators, many of them were now beginning to doubt Wang Teng’s abilities. Could this young man possibly have miscalculated?

“There’s a glow.”

Suddenly, a cry of astonishment rippled through the crowd, causing a collective gasp among the onlookers.

Finally, it was unveiling its brilliance.

If it didn’t reveal itself soon, the banquet would nearly be over.

The stone cutter, too, suddenly became more alert. He swiftly fetched water and rinsed away the surface stone dust, revealing a faint white glow.

A white glow!

Everyone was surprised. They sensed their surroundings carefully and were astounded.

“Is this… the fluctuation of Light Force!?”

“Could it be a light-element treasure inside this ore?”

“Wow! If it’s a light-element treasure, its value is immeasurable!”

“Quick! Quick! Master, hurry up and finish cutting it. So many people are waiting.”

Yizang Xinnuo, Shouzang Caiyun, and the others were flabbergasted. They couldn’t help but glance at Wang Teng. He maintained a faint smile, seemingly unimpressed even when a white glow emerged from the ore. It might be a light-element treasure, but it didn’t appear to surprise him.

Could it be that he already knew what was inside?

This absurd thought appeared in Yizang Xinnuo and Shouzang Caiyun’s minds. However, they immediately dismissed it.

No martial warrior could see what was inside various ores. This had been tested and confirmed. The energy inside the ores was exceptionally unique. Some ores even naturally formed certain runes, like a kind of seal. Thus, even with spiritual power, it was impossible to perceive clearly.

This was a self-protective mechanism of special ores!

Concealing their radiance, and the mystical items remain hidden!

That was the meaning.

Therefore, Han Zhu could only rely on his rich experience to judge the value of this ore. This was the brilliance of a mining engineer, something ordinary martial warriors couldn’t compare to.

The hands of the stone cutter master trembled slightly. This was a light-element treasure. In all his years of extracting stones, he had never come across a light-element treasure. Encountering one now was incredibly exciting.

Look at the envy in the eyes of several stone-cutter masters around them. Why couldn’t they experience this boastful event in their entire lives?

But now, they couldn’t afford to be the slightest bit negligent. The master took a deep breath to calm himself and then continued to focus on cutting the stone.

Crack…

All eyes were drawn to the scene where the stone’s surface layer was gradually scraped off, revealing a translucent white crystal underneath.

In an instant, a burst of holy and dazzling white light radiated in all directions..
