Chapter 436: Golden Sword Source Ore Workshop

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Half an hour passed.

No matter how slow or conflicted they were, the bag of source ores had already been opened. Wen Qi’s team quickly gathered together again.

The truth was that the rate of finding essence energy in the source ores was not high. Most of the people had sad expressions on their faces, and only a few of them had smiles on their faces.

Furthermore, without exception, these people had all regained their youth. They had been cleansed by the essence energy from head to toe, and the blood essence they had lost had completely recovered.

“Zhang Fan, you’re really lucky,” a woman said enviously.

“It was pure luck.”

Zhang Fan, who had returned to his handsome self, deliberately suppressed the joy in his heart and casually brushed it off.

After all, luck would not always favor one person. There was a high chance that they would still be companions in the future and would still need to watch over each other.

Then, the group did not stay for long and quickly left in one direction.

Chen Yiming continued to follow behind them.

After understanding the change of finding essence energy in the source ores, he directly retrieved the space anchor on the middle-aged man’s body. Such a small chance of finding essence energy was just a waste of time.

Then, he left the space anchor on Wen Qi’s body.

Non-spatial ability users couldn’t sense the slight spatial fluctuations before forming the inner world. No one, including Wen Qi, noticed Chen Yiming’s small movements.

For the rest of the journey, perhaps it was because this group of people had appearances at different ages, and it was obvious that there was something special about them, as well as the face that they could roughly guess the reason, along the way, other than avoiding the nine mountains, no one else came up to cause trouble for them like the middle-aged man. In addition, occasionally gazes of pity came their way.

Clearly, what had happened to this group of people was not something uncommon in the forbidden death zone. There were many people who had the same experience.

Another half a day passed.

A huge city appeared on the horizon.

This city covered an area of hundreds of kilometers and was extremely huge. The city wall alone was more than 10,000 feet tall. The surface was black, as if it was completely made of steel. If one looked carefully, they would find that there were special patterns engraved on it, which was even more shocking.

The soldiers stationed on the city wall were all wearing armor. Their individual auras were not very strong, and they were only equivalent to the martial masters on the blue planet.

However, when they lined up neatly, they seemed to have fused with the city wall. If anyone wanted to attack the city, they would not be facing individual soldiers, but the power of the entire city.

In addition, an invisible energy barrier enveloped the entire city. Other than the city gate, one could not enter or leave from anywhere else.

“Buzz!”

Chen Yiming walked out of the void and saw the words “Heaven Suppressing City” written on the plaque on the city gate. The next step brought him into the city.

The city was heavily guarded, except for the entrance to the city. It gave off the feeling of encouraging free trade.

The city was extremely prosperous, and the streets were more than 1,000 meters wide. From time to time, vehicles pulled by mutant beasts would roar past. The ground was made of some unknown material, but it was not cracked by the mutant beasts running past.

The buildings on both sides of the street were filled with tall buildings. Compared to this place, the commercial buildings on the blue planet were not lacking only in height, but the area they occupied was also too small.

There were humans and other species coming and going, but they had all shrunk their bodies to less than 10 meters tall.

The most discussed topic among the passers-by was the source ores. When one first arrived here, it gave one the feeling that almost everything in this large city built outside the forbidden death zone revolved around the source ores.

Chen Yiming pretended to be a passerby and walked along the street. He quickly realized that the even weakest creatures in the city had mastered supernatural power. There were no exceptions.

From time to time, aircraft would fly past in the sky.

Judging from their auras, those creatures had all reached the level of the gods. It seemed that there were unspoken rules in the city, and creatures below the level of the gods moved on the ground.

“A source ore! A source ore! It’s been decades. When will luck come to me? Let me experience what it’s like to surpass others.”

On the street, someone looked enviously at the flying aircraft that had passed over their heads.

“You’re just an old gambler. You’re dreaming too much. If you want to rely solely on the essence energy to break through to become a god, I’m afraid you won’t be able to get anywhere even if you bring out all the treasures you have,” someone at the side said.

“Which one of those source ore appraisers doesn’t have a terrifying background? How can they let you pick up the leftovers so easily? Do they think that professional source ore appraisers only eat and don’t work?”

Then, someone mocked him.

Chen Yiming stopped for a moment and listened to their conversation.

“They are talking about people who appraise the source ores. However, if that’s the case, the source ores will probably have to go through a round of selection by the experts.”

He immediately thought of this problem.

On second thought, if the best source ores were not displayed, they would definitely be hidden somewhere. Wouldn’t that be exactly what he wanted?

Soon, Chen Yiming continued along the street.

He did not ask for directions, nor did he release his spiritual power to investigate. He just chose a random direction and walked along it. 10 minutes later, he arrived at a shop called the Golden Sword Source Ore Workshop.

The shop was very lively. From the outside, it covered a large area. It was like a large supermarket inside, and transparent cabinets were placed everywhere. Source ores were displayed in the cabinets.

The source ores displayed here were much larger than the ones in Wen Qi’s hands. Those seemed to be of low quality, while the ones here seemed to be of high quality.

In addition, most of the people entering and exiting this shop were humans. It should be a shop owned by a human faction.

Chen Yiming quickly stepped into the shop.

“Hello, sir. Not long ago, a new batch of goods arrived at the Golden Sword Source Ore Workshop. Do you want to gamble on the source ores or buy essence energy directly?”

As soon as he entered, a lady walked up to him.

The lady had an exquisite face, a tall figure, and fair skin. Other than that, her cultivation level was not weak, and she had reached the level of a martial master on the blue planet.

“I’ll take a look myself.”

Chen Yiming didn’t hesitate to send the eager lady away and continue browsing the wares.

There was a high chance that this lady was similar to a salesperson that would receive a commission. She must have seen that he looked unfamiliar and wanted to trick him into buying the source ores.

In reality, his pockets were empty. How could he have the ability to buy it?

If he did not have the money to buy it, it would be easy for him to expose himself. It would not be good if the lady saw through him. He still wanted to do something big in Heaven Suppressing City.

The lady watched as the figure gradually walked away and was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses.

She was a top salesperson at the Golden Sword Source Ore Workshop and had always been confident in her charm. She had taken the initiative to ask about it, but she was actually ignored.

Such situations were rare. Generally, there were some men who would reject the beauties who offered their services for free, but very few would reject them so directly.

This incident passed in the blink of an eye and did not attract much attention in the store.

Not long after, Chen Yiming arrived at the area where most people had gathered. Many people were standing around in a semicircle, and in the middle was a source ore appraiser cutting open the source ores for the customer who was buying them.

“What!”

“It looks like something good is about to appear,”

someone suddenly exclaimed.

Soon, the entire shop was in an uproar. Even the lady who had just entered to welcome Chen Yiming ran over.

The expert in charge of cutting the source ore had already stopped before the cries of surprise could be heard. The value of this kind of half-opened ore varied according to the situation, and the price was also different.

However, according to the rules, would the expert need to ask the customer if he wanted to continue opening the source ore? Or should he consider selling it at a premium?

Chen Yiming squeezed into the crowd and looked over.

A humanoid creature with golden hair that looked like a lion man was smiling. He did not make a decision quickly, but enjoyed the envious gazes of everyone.

“He failed 9 out of 10 times. From the looks of it, this source ore has a price of at least 3,000%. 30 times the premium. Just let it be,” someone suggested.

“Don’t listen to his nonsense. Isn’t he stupid to sell it at a premium of 30 times the original price? The opportunity is right in front of us. If we don’t take a risk, why would the shop gamble on the source ores?”

Someone immediately objected.

“That’s right! That’s right!” 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

“Lion King, stop wasting time. Hurry up and prepare the storage device. Get ready to collect the essence energy. It might be some previous essence energy.”

Among the onlookers, most were against selling it at a premium.

This kind of half-opened ore not only tempted the customer, but also the surrounding people. They all wanted to see the amount and quality of essence energy they could obtain after opening it completely.

Chen Yiming’s interest was piqued.

At the moment, all the essence energy he had seen was of the most ordinary quality. He wanted to know if he could really see the seven-colored essence energy that Gao Shuai had mentioned.

Such precious seven-colored essence energy was naturally something only those who were virtuous were qualified to possess.

At this moment, the urging voices sounded again.

“Lion King, don’t let everyone wait any longer. The Lion Clan’s Purple Gold God King has been staying in the abandoned world all this time. No one will dare to snatch the precious essence energy from him. Hurry up and open it for everyone to see.”

The golden-haired lion man still did not speak. He just stared at the half-opened piece of ore. A faint light emitted from it, which revealed one of the characteristics of the essence energy inside.

At this moment, someone saw that the lion king had yet to speak, so he said, “If the lion king is interested in selling it, I’m willing to buy it at 35 times the original price.”

“36 times.”

“37 times.”

In a few breaths, the price was quickly raised to 40 times the original price.

It was not that they could not offer a higher price, but based on the lion king’s intentions, if they acted too rashly, it would be difficult for them to step down if the lion king really demanded too much.

Chen Yiming was affected by the atmosphere and his heart itched. Suddenly, he had an idea.

“The space anchor can provide a certain amount of vision, and it’s essentially not a physical object in real space. Then can I use it to take a look at the situation inside the source ore?”

As soon as this thought appeared, it could not be stopped.

In any case, there were so many people here. If there was a problem, everyone would only suspect that the expert had cut the ore too much.

As for the angry lion king, did he really think that he was someone important? If he took his anger out on the onlookers, he could just kill him with one punch. Chen Yiming wasn’t worried about the Purple Gold Divine King, even if it could scare others.

Chen Yiming thought to himself, “If anything really happens, I’ll just treat it as helping the lion king open the source ore. This way, we won’t have to deliberately keep everyone in suspense.”

As time passed, the lion king was still observing the half-opened ore.

Chen Yiming controlled the space anchor and located it halfway inside the source ore. A faint spatial ripple appeared, but it was greatly weakened by the special mechanism sealing the source ore.

It was just a slight spatial fluctuation to begin with, and even Chen Yiming himself couldn’t sense it from the outside world.

“It seems like a good way to make money.”

Chen Yiming was delighted even before he could check the situation inside the ore.

By money, he was referring to the hidden dragon coins that could be used in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy. He did not have the time to think of a way to earn it. It would naturally be good if he could find a shortcut.

At that time, there would be no need to snatch it by force. Instead, he could use a special method to obtain a large amount of essence energy.

However, just as Chen Yiming was about to use the space anchor to observe the situation inside the ore,

“Crack!”

The sound of something breaking caused the shop to fall silent.

The lion king was stunned. Everyone’s gazes were focused on the crack that had suddenly appeared on the surface of the source ore.

“…”

The expert who was in charge of cutting the source ore frowned and a shocked expression appeared on his face. He did not even notice that the stone saber in his hand had fallen to the ground.

Due to his years of experience from an apprentice to a master, he did not think that it was because of him, but because of this source ore.

There were indeed special source ores that would cause experienced masters to not be able to grasp the progress of cutting them well. However, there was a high chance that these special source ores would be bought by customers.

“Lion King, don’t just stand there. What if the essence energy leaks out? There are so many people watching. We won’t be able to explain ourselves then.”

Someone could not help but remind him.

When the golden-haired lion man heard this, he immediately woke up. Ignoring his anger, he hurriedly took out a special crystal and placed it beside the crack.

This special crystal could automatically absorb essence energy. It was a natural storage device and was very valuable.

“A small spatial fluctuation is enough to crack the half-opened source ore. Then, it shouldn’t be a problem for the unopened source ore, right?”

Chen Yiming glanced at the field of view provided by the space anchor. There was indeed something inside the ore, but it didn’t seem to be essence energy.

And the situation was exactly like that.

The lion king’s expression gradually darkened. The special crystal in his hand did not manage to gather any essence energy from the crack.

At this moment, the outcome was already clear, although it had yet to be completely revealed.

There was a high chance that this was an ore that could easily mislead others. In other words, the final outcome was either that the Golden Sword Source Ore Workshop would compensate him or the lion king would lose everything.

None of the onlookers said anything.

The expert did not make a conclusion about his role in this matter. He was just waiting for the person in charge of the Golden Sword Source Ore Workshop to come over.

The various shops selling source ores did not have a standard way to deal with such special situations.

Whether the responsibility was on the expert or the source ore, even if they compensated the customer the original price of the source ore, customers like the lion king who bought the source ore would feel that they had suffered a huge loss.

The original price was usually set according to the price before it was opened, not half opened. The price had already increased by dozens of times.

Chen Yiming’s expression remained unchanged as he retrieved the space anchor inside the source ore.

It was not that he had not gained anything at all. At the very least, he had to come to a conclusion. The half-opened source ore could not withstand the appearance of spatial fluctuations inside of them and would automatically crack open.

Then, the source ore he chose to target after that would naturally not be those that were half-opened, although the probability of a half-opened source ore containing essence energy was definitely higher than the unopened source ores.
