Chapter 1178 - Zhan Xiaoxian

"Do you know the rules? Have you not heard of first come, first served?" Qin Nan asked with an expressionless face.

"First come, first served?" The young man looked startled before he burst out laughing, "Rules my a.s.s, first come first serve, my a.s.s. I only know that it belongs to the one with the most G.o.d Stones! Besides, I'm buying all the rocks, and you're only buying three. It's obvious who's going to make him the most money. How could he not sell to me? If you're not convinced of that, let's see who can give him a higher offer!"

The young man's eyes were filled with strong disdain.

HIs name was Guan Hu, who appeared to be the young master of a small faction. Although his cultivation was not too outstanding, he had inherited the heirloom 'Three Snakes Blood Eyes'.

He was trying to buy all the rocks as he had discovered that the stones all had a quite outstanding presence of Qi and runes. According to his past experience, he could obtain at least more than ten artifacts from the pile of rocks.

How could he allow himself to miss out on such a great opportunity?

Qin Nan's eyes squinted. He had noticed the eye-technique that the young man possessed with his left eye, thus he immediately realized what he was planning.

Obviously, the young man had been tricked by the impressive method that the vendor had used to fake the rocks. He thought most of the stones would have an artifact inside them.

"I don't really have much G.o.d Stones with me. They are yours." Qin Nan calmly said.

As a matter of fact, Qin Nan could unleash his cultivation to intimidate the young man, but since he was acting so scornfully, he would not mind teaching him a great lesson.

"A wise decision!" Guan Hu's eyes flickered with joy as he walked up to the stall and threw a storage bag onto it, "There are nine thousand nine hundred G.o.d Stones inside it. I'll be taking all the rocks here!" The vendor quickly scanned the contents of the bag and glanced at Qin Nan, before he turned around and left.

"This cultivator is indeed impressive, using half of his fortune to buy thirty-two wasted rocks. Such determination, such courage, I'm thoroughly impressed." Qin Nan clapped his hands and exclaimed.

"Thirty-two wasted stones?" What a joke! Kid, since you knew that I've used half of my fortune, it's obvious that you do possess some kind of eye-technique too! However, how could your eye-technique be comparable to my Three Snake Blood Eyes? You two, hurry up and cut the rocks open. We'll teach him the difference between our capabilities!" Guan Hu wore a cold grin as he waved his hand. The two middle-aged men standing behind him immediately nodded and went forward. They picked up the first rock and used some magical method to cut it open.

The moment the rock was cut open, a strong sword intent burst out from it.

Inside it were seven daggers with the appearance of crystals, which intertwined with each other, forming a sword formation.

"Such a powerful sword intent!"

"Gasp, is that the Xiantian Seven Swords Formation? That is worth at least three thousand G.o.d Stones!"

"It's a profit! A profit! I remember that the rocks were only three hundred G.o.d Stones each!"

The cultivators nearby were instantly attracted by the sword intent. They could not help but exclaim, as their eyes were filled with a hint of envy.

"HAHAHA! Kid, didn't you say that I'd bought thirty-two wasted rocks? The first rock alone has given me the Xiantian Seven Swords Formation! Besides, let me give you a hint, apart from this, there are more than ten rocks here that also contain valuable artifacts!" Guan Hu's face flushed as he looked down at Qin Nan and said in a mocking tone, "Let me tell you, there's always someone that's better than you out there, don't a.s.sume that just because you know an eye-technique..."

The cultivators whose attention was attracted immediately came to a realization after hearing Guan Hu's words. Their gazes toward Qin Nan were filled with disdain.

They had all approved of Guan Hu's capabilities, as he was able to obtain the Xiantian Seven Swords Formation from the first rock, thus highlighting his skill.

There was no way the rest of the rocks were wasted rocks.

"Is that so? It's only the first one. There are still thirty-two left." Qin Nan said calmly.

"Do you really believe that I've bought thirty-two wasted rocks? It looks like you won't give up until you've arrived at the Yellow Springs! Cut them open, this will be a great chance for him to learn!" Guan Hu was infuriated seeing Qin Nan's att.i.tude, causing him to utter the command.

The two middle-aged men nodded simultaneously and cut the second rock open.

However, the second rock turned out to be a wasted rock, as there was nothing inside.

"Keep on going, faster!"

Guan Hu's expression remained the same as he demanded.

The two middle-aged men proceeded to cut the third rock open, but it was still a wasted rock.

"Continue, don't stop." Guan Hu waved his hand impatiently.

Time gradually pa.s.sed. Under the crowd's gaze, the fourth, fifth, and sixth rocks were cut open...

The steady look from Guan Hu and the surrounding cultivators began to s.h.i.+ft slightly as more rocks were determined to be wasted rocks.

When the twentieth rock was cut open, Guan Hu and the crowd of cultivators were stunned. Their eyes filled with utter disbelief.

What was going on?

How could all twenty rocks contain nothing in a row?

"Cultivator, didn't you say you were going to teach me a lesson? Why are you stopping now?" Qin Nan said with a calm smile.

"Kid, don't you get c.o.c.ky! It was just a coincidence that they all happened to be wasted rocks. There's surely something valuable in the remaining twelve rocks! What are you still waiting for? Cut them open! Cut them all open now!"

Guan Hu first snapped at Qin Nan before turning around and demanded of the two middle-aged men.

The two middle-aged men unleashed their progenitor force to execute a monarch art which immediately shattered the rest of the rocks.

At that instant, it felt like the atmosphere on the street had frozen.

Guan Hu and the cultivators nearby immediately glanced toward the pile.

However, with a glimpse, everyone was utterly dumbfounded.

Apart from a hint of Qi flowing out from the rocks, there was nothing else left among the pile. They were all wasted rocks.

In other words, apart from the Xiantian Seven Swords Formation at the start, the rest of the rocks were all wasted.

"This..."

Guan Hu's face turned pale as he opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

How was this possible?

How did this guy predict it accurately?

The cultivators' gazes toward Qin Nan were filled with great astonishment.

They never thought an ordinary-looking young man would possess such a shocking capability.

However, none of them had noticed the flicker in the eyes of a pale-faced woman wearing a blue robe among the crowd, whose hair was tied up in a bun.
