The Invincible Mercenary King (by Matt Watt) novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169 

The auction hall was filled with people. 

Not only those customers, but many stall owners also gathered to watch. 

Most of the people who did business here relied on selling emerald pendants to make a living Now that the rumored raw stone that could produce top-grade gems had appeared in the market, everyone wanted to come and broaden their 

horizons. 

In the middle of the auction hall, the millstone-sized raw stone lay quietly. 

“Look at the texture and color. It’s definitely a good stone. It definitely has gems in it.” 

In the crowd, someone stared at the stone with an excited expression. 

It was very likely that this stone could produce valuable green gems. 

When the others heard this, their eyes were filled with excitement. They felt like they were going to witness history. 

Haylan stood in the crowd and stared at the raw stone. 

At the same time, Haylan circulated the Heart Cultivation in his body and condensed the majestic vital energy in his eyes. 

In an instant, Haylan’s vision changed drastically. 

In Haylan’s vision, everything became transparent. 

The attire of everyone in front of Haylan had disappeared, replaced by transparent blood vessels, internal organs, bones, 

and nerves. 

Haylan could see the blood coursing through their veins, their hearts beating, their organs wriggling. 

It was the x-ray vision. 

Haylan did not use the x-ray vision to perp, nor did he look at the others. Instead, Haylan just stared at the raw stone. 

In Haylan’s vision, the shell of the raw stone became extremely transparent. Haylan could see everything inside the stone. 

There was indeed a lot of green there, and a lot of spiritual energy was condensing. 

After seeing spiritual energy inside clearly, Haylan frowned slightly and withdrew the vital energy in his eyes. His eyes were filled with disappointment. 

There were indeed spirit stones in this stone, but spiritual energy was very scattered, causing the quality of the spirit stone to be very poor. The spirit stones inside could not be used as an emerald pendant amulet at all. 

“It’s very likely that this raw stone will produce a very complete emerald. Let’s start the auction now. The starting price is two million dollars” 

At this moment, a host stood up and gave a simple introduction to the raw stone before starting the bidding. 

When Haylan heard this, his face darkened. 

The starting price was two million dollars. Was this stone that expensive? 

Haylan felt that after eight years abroad, everything in the Longhard Kingdom seemed to have changed. 

A house could sell for millions of dollars. Now, the starting price for a stone was two million dollars. 

Since when did the domestic economy become so prosperous? 

The price of everything exceeded Haylan’s imagination. 

If it were before Haylan went overseas, he would not have believed that there would be such a high property price in the Longhard Kingdom. 

“It seems that this is not the spirit stone Fm looking for.” 

Haylan sighed and turned to leave the crowd. He began to observe the stalls again, trying his luck and looking for spirit 

stones 

However, after going around all the stalls, Haylan was even more disappointed. 

In these stalls, all the spirit stones were ordinary gems, agates, and sapphires. There were no spirit stones that Haylan was looking for. 

“Mr. Jaber, why are you here?” 

Just as Haylan was about to leave, Simon suddenly walked over from afar and looked at Haylan in surprise.
