Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 164

"Hush. Buddy, don't shout! You could win ten thousand ink stones at least with your cultivation base. In my experience as an old man in the business, it should be effortless for you to win thirty thousand ink stones if you stick to three rounds," the old man taunted.

"Can I really last three rounds?" The big guy resembling the built of a warrior was obviously tempted.

"Hmm. A cultivator of the top level of Mysterious Realm had won three million ink stones last time. If you don't believe me you can ask around! You are at the eighth stage of Mysterious Realm. Can't you win thirty thousand ink stones at least? Buddy, be confident." A young man who seemed to care about what was happening around, gave him a boost.

Overhearing this, Darren's shock was projecting. He soon shook his head expressing his surprise. 'Three million ink stones? How could that be possibly earned? They must be bluffing!'

Darren found himself leaving, heading straight out the door, and wandering along the street where people from all walks of life thrived.

His footsteps fast approaching, he was stunned when he arrived in front of a prominent building.

"Primitive Stone!" His heart leapt out of his chest the moment he saw those iconic words plated for everyone to remember.

As close as he could, he moved closer until his eyes squinted to read the words, "The rare treasure Primitive Stone will be auctioned tomorrow with a starting price of three million ink stones."

"How come this auction house has the Primitive Stone? Is this the authentic one or not?" Darren held on to his hopes even if his mind was surrounded with doubts.

A stranger overheard his ambiguous remark so he suddenly looked at Darren with contempt. "You even doubted Sky Pavilion's precious auction item. What a fool!"

Slightly embarrassed, Darren looked away and ignored the stranger. Another passerby reacted, "The background of the Sky Pavilion is more powerful than the Holy Lands'. We can't find any fake items auctioned here. But, what is a Primitive Stone? I've never seen such high base price like this in any other bidding I'd witnessed!"

"Hmm, the Primitive Stone is an extraordinary treasure. You definitely don't know how to valuate its significance."

"What exactly is the treasure's value?"

"Humph. No level of explanation would help you understand. Let me just make it simple for you. It is said that by eating one Primitive Stone, one's cultivation base could be lifted by ten stages. Don't you think we should classify this as a treasure?" The first stranger who despised Darren began to advertise the Primitive Stone's importance.

"Screw you. Can stone be eaten? Don't tell a tale and deceive people."

The people around kept discussing the stone.
