Chapter 2959: Wyatt Barnes Opens a Raw Stone

Immortal Artifacts are more precious the higher their grade.

This is common knowledge to everyone.

However, before King Grade Immortal Artifacts, while there is a significant difference in value among Immortal Artifacts, the value difference between two Immortal Artifacts of similar grade is not as much as ten thousand times.

Take Monarch Grade Immortal Artifacts as an example; their value is generally a thousand medium-grade Immortal Crystals, equivalent to ten top-grade Immortal Crystals.

As for Top-grade Immortal Artifacts, they are generally worth ten medium-grade Immortal Crystals, meaning the value difference with Monarch Grade Immortal Artifacts is only a hundredfold!

King Grade Immortal Artifacts, which are above Monarch Grade, represent a watershed; their value is ten thousand times that of Monarch Grade Immortal Artifacts!

Ten thousand times!

What does that mean?

It means a single King Grade Immortal Artifact is equivalent to the total of ten thousand Monarch Grade Immortal Artifacts... and this is just in terms of their value in Immortal Crystals.

Someone who owns ten thousand Monarch Grade Immortal Artifacts would hardly find anyone willing to trade a King Grade Immortal Artifact unless they sold them all to convert into Immortal Crystals.

"It’s a King Grade Immortal Sword!"

"Oh my gosh! Junior City Lord Nathaniel actually uncovered a King Grade Immortal Sword from a sword-shaped raw stone!"

"As long as the King Grade Immortal Artifact is undamaged, it is worth at least a hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals... This time, Junior City Lord Nathaniel has hit the jackpot!"

"We were just talking about how Junior City Lord Nathaniel might lose tens of thousands of top-grade Immortal Crystals... But in the blink of an eye, Junior City Lord Nathaniel has gained at least a hundred thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals!"

...

Nathaniel Hanson uncovering a King Grade Immortal Sword from the sword-shaped raw stone instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the shop.

Even some people walking past the shop entrance noticed the commotion and stopped to observe.

As more and more onlookers gathered at the shop entrance, they all gazed at Nathaniel Hanson with envious expressions.

"Congratulations, Junior City Lord Nathaniel, for uncovering a King Grade Immortal Sword!"

After snapping back to reality, Nathaniel’s shop assistant quickly congratulated him.

"There’s nothing to congratulate about... I spent at least fifteen thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals on this sword-shaped raw stone for this King Grade Immortal Sword; from its quality, it’s worth at most thirteen or fourteen thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals."

"In the end... I actually lost over a thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals."

In response to the shop assistant’s congratulations, Nathaniel Hanson said blandly, "Return the unopened sword-shaped raw stones to you... Thus, acquiring this sword means I’m not really losing."

Finishing his words, Nathaniel Hanson placed the remaining sword-shaped raw stones back on the counter.

And this was allowed.

As long as the raw stone has not been opened, one can return it before leaving the shop, which is the gambling stone market’s rule across the heavenly planes.

After storing away the King Grade Immortal Sword, Nathaniel Hanson, under everyone’s watchful eyes, led his followers out of the shop.

Outside the shop, the crowd automatically made way for them.

After Nathaniel Hanson’s silhouette disappeared from the crowd’s sight, many couldn’t help but start discussing:

"I never thought Junior City Lord Nathaniel of Covered Sword City would acquire a King Grade Immortal Sword here!"

"The direct lineage of Covered Sword City are all Sword Immortals... Although the City Lord Mansion has several King Grade Immortal Artifacts, it only has two King Grade Immortal Swords: one held by the City Lord of Covered Sword City, and the other by the Great Commander of Covered Sword City, so Junior City Lord Nathaniel has never had a King Grade Immortal Sword."

"Although black markets occasionally have King Grade Immortal Swords, they’re usually bought as soon as they appear... Across the heavenly planes, swords are extremely popular weapons, so even if Junior City Lord Nathaniel has enough Immortal Crystals, it’s hard to get a chance to buy a King Grade Immortal Sword."

"Spending thirteen or fourteen thousand to buy sword-shaped raw stones and unveil a King Grade Immortal Sword worth about the same seems like breaking even, but in reality, Junior City Lord Nathaniel has still profited."

"Even if he profited, he deserved to... ordinary people don’t have the courage he does. As far as I know, the City Lord of Covered Sword City only gave him twenty thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals to get himself a King Grade Immortal Sword."

...

Both inside and outside the shop, similar remarks circulated, prompting Wyatt Barnes to quietly admire the courage of Nathaniel, the Junior City Lord of Covered Sword City.

After all, not everyone with twenty thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals has the courage to try acquiring a King Grade Immortal Sword through stone gambling!

"That Junior City Lord of Covered Sword City has such courage; his future achievements might not be less than his father’s."

Emanuel Yellow remarked.

Covered Sword City is among the top-ranked cities under the Singles Kingdom.

And the current City Lord of Covered Sword City is also one of the strongest Immortal Lords within the Singles Kingdom.

As Nathaniel Hanson left, the crowd outside the shop gradually dispersed, and the shop inside returned to tranquility.

Meanwhile, Wyatt Barnes and Emanuel Yellow, led by the middle-aged shop assistant, continued to examine various raw stones.

During this process, Emanuel Yellow, feeling the itch, bought several raw stones but only uncovered things of little value.

"Instead of blindly buying like this... why don’t you acquire the sword-shaped raw stones that Junior City Lord Nathaniel returned? Maybe you could snag something valuable from it."

Seeing Emanuel Yellow cracking raw stones one by one, revealing worthless items, Wyatt Barnes couldn’t help but shake his head and suggest.

"At the very least, if you do uncover something... if Junior City Lord Nathaniel finds out, he’ll likely be so mad at you he’ll cough up blood!"

Wyatt Barnes said with a laugh.

Of course, Wyatt Barnes said these things just as a joke. He never thought Emanuel Yellow would really do what he suggested.

After all, anyone with a sense of hearing could tell he was joking.

At least the middle-aged guide next to Wyatt Barnes and Emanuel Yellow shook his head with a smile after hearing Wyatt Barnes’ words.

"Brother Barnes, you make it sound reasonable... Since that’s the case, I’ll buy those sword-shaped raw stones that the Junior City Lord of Covered Sword City returned!"

"There are thirteen in total, right? I’ll take them all!"

Just now, when Nathaniel Hanson, the Junior City Lord of Covered Sword City, returned the sword-shaped raw stones, Emanuel Yellow noticed it too. So now, with a quick glance, he counted that there were thirteen sword-shaped raw stones in total.

"Bradley... I was just joking, how could you take it seriously?"

Wyatt Barnes was dumbfounded; he didn’t expect Emanuel Yellow to take his casual joke seriously.

Thirteen sword-shaped raw stones were worth thirteen thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals!

"Brother Barnes, after all, when I play with stone gambling, it’s just for fun... For me, Emanuel Yellow, whatever I do, I emphasize ’being spontaneous’."

Emanuel Yellow smiled lightly without any intention of giving up on buying those thirteen sword-shaped raw stones.

"Inside here, there are thirteen thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals, count them... If there are no issues, then give me those thirteen sword-shaped raw stones."

Emanuel Yellow raised his hand and placed thirteen thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals into a Storage Ring, then threw it to the guide with him and Wyatt Barnes.

"This..."

The guide was stunned for a long time. Only when Emanuel Yellow’s Storage Ring was thrown over did he regain his composure, his face full of excitement.

He never thought that this random guest he picked up would turn out to be a big spender!

Spending thirteen thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals, without even batting an eye.

"That’s right, that’s right... Customer, I’ll go get those thirteen sword-shaped raw stones for you right away."

After receiving the Storage Ring and counting the Immortal Crystals inside, the guide immediately went to retrieve those thirteen sword-shaped raw stones and handed them to Emanuel Yellow.

And during this process, the eyes of the other guides filled with envy when they looked at this guide.

You should know, before this, only the guide who received the Junior City Lord of Covered Sword City enjoyed such treatment.

"Bradley, you really are something... That’s still thirteen thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals."

Seeing Emanuel Yellow open the sword-shaped raw stones one by one with great interest, Wyatt Barnes shook his head, thinking Emanuel Yellow was too capricious.

"It’s fine; it’s just for fun... Betting on a gain is a surprise; betting on a loss is entertainment."

Emanuel Yellow laughed, unconcerned.

At this moment, he has already opened five sword-shaped raw stones, and the best among them is just a Monarch Grade Immortal Sword.

"Really a big spender... Normally, to find a King Grade Immortal Sword in all the sword-shaped raw stones in a shop of this scale is considered very lucky. Who knows what kind of background this young man has, casually taking out over a thousand top-grade Immortal Crystals to play."

"I’ve never heard of such a person in Singles Kingdom... However, the royal auction is about to start in a few days, and now, quite a few people from neighboring countries have come to our capital city of Singles Kingdom. Maybe this person is an aristocratic child from another country."

"Possibly. In Singles Kingdom, there aren’t many young people who can be so wealthy."

...

As Emanuel Yellow again opened and wasted five sword-shaped raw stones, the attention of the guests gathered inside the shop focused on Emanuel Yellow, with whispers abound.

"My luck doesn’t seem to be very good... There are three sword-shaped raw stones left; Brother Barnes, you open them for me."

Under the gaze of many eyes, Emanuel Yellow spoke while handing the remaining three sword-shaped raw stones to Wyatt Barnes.

Seeing Emanuel Yellow looking at him with anticipation, Wyatt Barnes didn’t hold back and casually took the three sword-shaped raw stones.

"Bradley, if they turn out bad, don’t blame me... My luck isn’t necessarily better than yours."

Wyatt Barnes made a joke after taking the three sword-shaped raw stones.

"Haha... Brother Barnes, if you can get a Low-grade Immortal Sword from them, I’ll truly respect you."

Emanuel Yellow could naturally tell Wyatt Barnes was joking, so he followed along with another joke.

So far, in this shop, regardless of whether it was the Junior City Lord of Covered Sword City or Emanuel Yellow who opened them, the worst has been a Medium-grade Immortal Sword, and there hasn’t been a single Low-grade Immortal Sword.

"Maybe I’ll really open a Low-grade... turns out it’s a Medium-grade Immortal Sword."

Wyatt Barnes hadn’t finished speaking before he found the sword from the sword-shaped raw stone he opened was a Medium-grade Immortal Sword, which made Emanuel Yellow’s smile widen.

Splat!

Wyatt Barnes continued to open the second sword-shaped raw stone.

Swish!

And as Wyatt Barnes opened the second sword-shaped raw stone, a mysterious light shot out, accompanied by a sharp breath filling the entire store.

This phenomenon stunned the people inside the shop.

"This is... an Emperor Grade Immortal Sword?!"

Wyatt Barnes’ pupils suddenly shrunk.
