Chapter 1042
Opening the earthen jar reveals dragon bones?
I saw the expression on the clay pot merchant's face.
With his keen spiritual senses, Chen Yeneng could perceive the emotions of the earthenware pot merchant, who was now drenched in sweat.
He smiled slightly, certain that his choice was definitely right!
This earthenware pot can block the perception of spiritual thoughts, but it cannot block the perspective of the [Eye of Fortune].
As long as you find the earthenware pot with the highest concentration of crystal and open it, there shouldn't be any problems.
From Chen Ye's perspective.
The other earthenware pots all possessed a remarkable aura of dark yellow, varying in size.
but.
Only the central earthenware pot, surrounded by many other earthenware pots, was filled with a glassy color, almost overflowing from the entire pot!
"That's right, I want to choose this earthenware pot."
Chen Ye paid a thousand gold coins and then took out the earthenware pot.
Putting everything else aside, the clay pot merchant was quite cunning in this transaction!
A clay pot containing a thousand gold coins—there were far too many.
On the contrary, the tiers of two thousand gold coins, five thousand gold coins, and eight thousand gold coins suddenly became much less.
People tend to think that the best things are hidden in higher-end earthenware pots.
A thousand gold coins is actually quite a lot, but you can hardly get anything good from them.
and so.
As long as the valuable items beyond their worth are ensured to be hidden in the jars containing a thousand gold coins, rather than in the higher-grade jars, the jar merchant will reap a huge profit as long as no one manages to draw the best item in this transaction.
The same method can be used to preserve these valuable items. When the next business comes around, the same routine can be repeated. As long as the gamble pays off and the best items are not taken, the clay pot merchant will make a profit.
But if it gets opened...
Especially if it's sold off too early, it's a huge loss!
Bang!
Just as the earthenware merchant was about to say something and persuade Chen Ye to choose another earthenware pot, Chen Ye, without saying a word, smashed the earthenware pot in his hand, which was full of glassy color, to pieces.
With a loud "bang," a dragon bone appeared in the shattered earthen pot!
"keel!"
The item exuded an aura reminiscent of a bone dragon, which spread outwards, leaving all the onlookers stunned.
Even Jiu Feng and the others behind him were completely surprised that Chen Ye was able to open such a good thing!
The crowd rubbed their eyes, confirmed the items on the ground, and couldn't help but make a commotion.
"My God, it really is dragon bone, and it's of a pretty high grade!"
"Moreover, this dragon bone is located in the best spinal region, and the bones it contains contain the aura of the laws of ancient true dragons. Dragons are born to be powerful beings who utilize laws, so it is astonishing that they can wield such special techniques!"
"This boy's luck is just too good! He actually managed to unearth a dragon bone. It's the bone of an ancient true dragon, not a bone dragon, nor one of those sub-species dragon bones. Its value is beyond measure in gold coins!"
"You know what, just one dragon bone like this might cost over ten thousand gold coins. It's a priceless treasure!"
"No wonder it was so hard to get anything good from the pots this pot merchant had before. Just this dragon bone alone could buy all the pots!"
"That's right, but with it being opened up so quickly, the clay pot merchant is probably going to lose a fortune!"
"What can we do?"
"This kind of business is inherently a gamble; we're gambling, and so are the clay pot merchants."
"Hehe, this young friend has drawn out such a priceless treasure so quickly; he'll probably be in trouble later!"
Everyone looked in Chen Ye's direction with envy.
After all, being able to extract such a precious ancient dragon bone is of immeasurable value!
The crowd of onlookers, with all sorts of gazes, turned towards Chen Ye.
Chen Ye immediately stored the ancient dragon bone into the spatial ring of the [Infinite City], and then headed towards the location of Wu Nian and Wan Yi without looking back.
"Now things look a bit troublesome; many people are keeping an eye on us."
Wu Nian frowned slightly. With his keen senses, he could feel several unfriendly gazes focused on Chen Ye.
However, since Chen Ye returned to Wu Nian and Wan Yi's group, these gazes seem to have subsided a bit.
obviously.
As beings from Sky City, their perception is very strong. They realized that Chen Ye's strength was not very high, and he was an unfamiliar face with no reputation. Under such circumstances, they would definitely covet the treasure that Chen Ye possessed.
However, the auras emanating from Wu Nian and Wan Yi appeared quite powerful.
same.
The strength of Daoist Yuxu, Daoist Dongxu, and Jiufeng is also considerable.
What's more, there's also a kindred spirit to be added to the mix!
Within the boundaries of the Holy Mountain, it is no easy feat to assemble such a team.
Although the number of people is not large, they can be counted on one hand. When their strength is combined, even if some large families mobilized together, they might not be able to take it down.
Therefore, once they sensed the strength of Chen Ye and his group, the other beings in Sky City were no longer so interested.
After all, risks and rewards still need to be balanced.
If the risks are too great, taking down Chen Ye and his group will not be such a simple matter.
Chen Ye is no longer fighting alone on the Holy Mountain.
Instead, there is a team.
If anyone wants to take away Chen Ye's spoils, they'd better think twice before messing with Zhiyin and the others around them, as these are not people you can easily provoke.
“Young friend, I never expected you to be so lucky. You actually obtained the dragon bone of an ancient dragon, and it was from the spine, which is the most precious part.”
Daoist Yuxu stared at the dragon bone in Chen Ye's hand, his eyes filled with envy.
"Yes, do you know that even those lunatics in the council would covet such a dragon bone?"
Jiufeng took a deep breath, and her gaze toward Chen Ye held a different gleam.
She could tell perfectly well...
Chen Ye's selection this time was definitely not a random one!
Rather, they have ample confidence!
To be able to directly draw the earthen jar containing dragon bones requires an extraordinary ability. Luck is also a part of strength.
Even if Chen Ye did nothing, he still managed to extract the earthen jar containing the dragon bones simply by relying on his intuition; that was his skill!
A thousand gold coins is definitely not a small amount!
For the vast majority of beings in Sky City...
This amount of money is enough to support the existence of a middle-class Sky City for several years!
After all, those are gold coins!
Its value is extremely high!
Wu Nian's heart was also filled with doubts.
What ability did Chen Ye rely on to pull out such a precious earthenware jar in one go?
Of course.
Such questions involve Chen Ye's secrets, so of course he wouldn't ask too many.
But anyone present could tell that since Chen Ye was able to pull out the earthenware jar so easily, he must have some ability to see through it, which is why he was able to pull it out at that perfect moment.
However, as earthenware jars made by earthenware jar merchants, these jars have a very strong ability to prevent prying eyes. Even Wan Yi and Wu Nian, who are at the same level, cannot see through them. They are very curious about how Chen Ye was able to completely pull out these earthenware jars.
"I was just lucky."
Chen Ye smiled slightly, not particularly concerned about it, and revealed a calm look, as if drawing such a dragon bone was nothing unusual or rare for him.
After a while,
Chen Ye turned to look at Daoist Yuxu and asked for guidance:
"Senior, may I ask what the origin of this dragon bone is, and what its purpose is?"
Daoist Yuxu stroked his chin, then explained to Chen Ye:
"The so-called dragon bone is the most precious thing that can be obtained from the dragon race. After all, as a special existence in the Sky City, the dragon race has mastered a very powerful language. With each breath, laws are wrapped around them, and they can evolve a variety of rule-level attacks. They are the most powerful creatures in the spirit world."
"The lifespan of each dragon can be calculated indefinitely... Of course, this is on the premise that they are ancient dragons, not subspecies of dragons that have been crossbred with other races."
"The dragon bones of the subspecies of dragons are generally worth only a few thousand gold coins on the market. They are used to brew some special pills, which is why this material is used."
"But if it's the bone of an ancient dragon, then that's incredible!"
"It can be called the supreme bone. If one can transplant the dragon bone of an ancient true dragon into one's own body, not only will one gain the ability to possess the laws with every move, but one may also inherit the dragon race's words of power, possessing the power of words becoming law. Of course, each dragon race's words of power are unique, and are even more powerful than simple laws and dharma forms."
"Young friend, the dragon bone you possess is in an excellent location!"
"The keel located in the spine is a crucial part of all dragons."
"The more crucial the part, the greater the possibility of inheriting the Dragon Clan's laws, including the power of words!"
"However, if you want to transplant such a dragon bone, it is best to go to Dragon City. There are even some Celestial Dragons there who have the blood of both dragons and humans and are very knowledgeable about this."
"The dragon bone in your hand is extremely valuable. You should find the most professional Celestial Dragon to perform the transplant."
Chen Ye looked surprised.
This was the first time he had ever learned that these dragon bones could be transplanted into his body!
No wonder so many envious and jealous eyes surrounded him when he first opened the dragon bone.
It turns out that I'm practically the only one here who doesn't know just how valuable the dragon bone really is!
Even subspecies of dragons can have thousands of gold coins, and their only use is in soup...
Specifically, if we could obtain the dragon bones of an ancient dragon...
Its value is so high that it cannot be quantified!
"Wow, I never thought that the bones of an ancient dragon could actually be unearthed!"
"This is absolutely a huge profit!"
"It's not just making a fortune, it's practically like being incredibly lucky to pull such a precious ancient dragon bone out of a pile of earthenware pots in one go. I never even dared to dream of it."
"That's right. To be able to unearth the dragon bones of an ancient dragon, I don't know if it's because the ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke or a burst of good fortune that such a good thing could be found."
"That makes me want to try it too!"
"I advise you not to go. If there are such valuable treasures hidden in a clay pot worth a thousand gold coins, the rest must be less valuable items."
The onlookers around them started discussing it.
Chen Ye's actions, which involved pulling out the dragon bones, immediately attracted a crowd of people nearby, who craned their necks to see what was going on.
This attracted many customers, who took out a thousand gold coins to buy the potter's white pot and open it.
however.
The items that were drawn were not commemorative coins at all, but rather very ordinary collectibles.
Its value is not very high.
You might even get a common jade worth dozens of gold coins.
Upon seeing this, the interest of those around them instantly waned considerably.
They realized that the good stuff might really have been taken by Chen Ye.
The remaining viewers, with a wait-and-see attitude, continued watching.
Few people will continue to bet, buying clay pots in an attempt to win big.
The clay pot merchant noticed that recently no one was placing bets, and most were just watching from the sidelines. After waiting for a long time without anyone opening any more clay pots, he shook his head and waved his hand dismissively.
A curtain of light enveloped all the earthen pots on the ground.
Amidst a blur of light and shadow, the earthenware pots were gradually put away.
The characteristic utilized is still spatial.
However, it appears to be quite unique.
"Ladies and gentlemen, that concludes our business for today. Thank you for your patronage. We hope to meet again someday, and that you will find something you like next time!"
The potter's shrill voice echoed in the vicinity before his figure was enveloped in a curtain of light and vanished.
It was clear that the clay pot merchant was seething with hatred when he said those words.
Today's business is a bust!
Not only did the number of earthenware pots not reach the expected number, but a huge amount was lost in one go!
Chen Ye got a great deal!
The remaining earthen jars were also opened by onlookers who wanted to try their luck, seeing that Chen Ye had managed to open such good jars all at once.
But after discovering there wasn't anything good...
Of course, they realized that all the good stuff had already been taken by Chen Ye. (End of Chapter)
