Smiling Buddha had also suspected that he had taken out the wrong stone. However, when took a look at the stone again, he confirmed that it was indeed a waste stone.
Why had it not shattered? Could the stone-gambling masters have overlooked something?
At this moment, Wang Mang naturally knew what these people were thinking, and was already brimming with excitement. Was he going to get lucky twice?
Filled with hope, Wang Mang once again struck out with his palm in excitement.
Bang!
The stone was smashed to pieces, revealing a shimmering golden stone was the size of a palm.
Furthermore, no matter how hard Wang Mang squeezed it, this object seemed completely indestructible.
Could it be that this was also a Tier 5 material?
Wang Mang looked around him, and exclamations of disbelief soon rang out around him.
“Awesome! Another Tier 5 material, an alchemy stone!”
“It’s impossible to get one this large without paying 50,000 immortal stones!”
“Damn it! This guy is cheating somehow, right? That’s a total of 80,000 immortal stones just like that?”
“Cheating? Didn’t you see how he lost just now? He lost a few thousand immortal stones with each attempt previously.”
“Man, 80,000 immortal stones in one go! It would take me forever to earn that amount!”
Hearing the crowd’s discussion, Wang Mang quietly asked, “System, how many energy points is this alchemy stone worth?”
[Ding! The alchemy stone is worth 50,000 points. However, the system will not accept it in an exchange!]
Hearing this, Wang Mang subconsciously glanced at Smiling Buddha.
However, when he saw the latter’s expression, he almost failed to stop himself from laughing out loud. This was because the heartbreak was evident on the latter’s face as he stared at the alchemy stone.
Finally, Smiling Buddha snapped back to his senses.
“Uh, hehe… Umm, everyone, take a good look! In the future, who would dare to say that my stall doesn’t sell anything good?”
“Open your eyes wide and see! This junior obtained a Tier 5 material that is worth 50,000 immortal stones!”
Smiling Buddha was up and at it again. In any case, he had to get something for his trouble.
Wang Mang did not mind it, and simply said, “Senior, for 50,000 immortal stones, I’ll give you this alchemy stone.”
Smiling Buddha was slightly taken aback, but in the end gritted his teeth and smiled generously.”Alright! Fifty thousand immortal stones it is then!”
With that, Smiling Buddha waved his hand and took out 50,000 immortal stones, which floated in front of Wang Mang.
After Wang Mang accepted the immortal stones, he nodded in satisfaction and handed the alchemy stone to Smiling Buddha.
Wang Mang then left happily.
Seeing this, Smiling Buddha immediately smiled and hurriedly said, “Junior, play a little longer!”
Wang Mang did not even turn his head. He smiled and waved his hand. “I’ll come and play again when 1 have time!”
After Wang Mang left, many people who had joined in the fun started buying immortal source stones. They were all tempted after seeing Wang Mang win two good items in a row.
Therefore, Smiling Buddha happily obliged them. Even though he had suffered a loss when it came to Wang Mang, these other students would soon make up for it. In any case, it had not cost him much to buy that waste stone.
Once Wang Mang entered the academy’s grounds, he began to wander around. He had already obtained 80,000 immortal stones, so he had to figure out how to obtain the remainder in order to evolve and reach Tier 4.
This whole incident put him in a great mood, and he spent three whole days exploring the academy. Furthermore, the academy was livelier at night than it was in the day.
When he walked the streets and alleys, it was like walking through a bustling night market. Wang Mang was dazzled by the variety of things he saw.
Furthermore, it was thanks to this that Wang Mang finally figured out how precious immortal stones were, as they were coveted by Heaven Immortal realm, Immortal King realm and Immortal Emperor realm experts.
Wang Mang even estimated that the net value of a Heavenly Immortal realm expert would not exceed 10,000 immortal stones, while an Immortal King realm expert’s net worth might reach 100,000 immortal stones.
Thus, if Wang Mang wanted to obtain immortal stones, it would not be easy.
He did not have anything to sell in a stall like the seniors either.
The only way was to fool people!
This was probably the fastest way for him to obtain immortal stones. Thinking this, Wang Mang bought an immortal source stone from Smiling Buddha, which cost him more than a thousand immortal stones.
He did not open it, as he wanted to trick someone with it and sell it off for a high price.
However, two more days passed, but Wang Mang still had not found a suitable buyer. Heaven Immortal realm students did not have any money, while tricking a Immortal King student would most likely invite endless trouble.
Therefore, even though Wang Mang scoured the ranks of the Level 1 and Level 2 students, he could not find the target he was looking for, which was a rich young master of some minor family.
At this moment, Wang Mang suddenly saw a student that attracted his attention. She was an extremely lively and unusually cute Level 1 student.
Most importantly, why did Wang Mang decide that this student was rich?
It was because Wang Mang recognized the pendant on her neck, which was made from five different materials. Two of these materials were the black meteoric iron and the alchemy stone that he had obtained previously!
Thus, he guessed that the other three materials were also Tier 5 materials. In any case, it meant that she was rich!
Wang Mang hurried over and shouted, “Hi there, little girl!”
Upon hearing this, the girl looked curiously at Wang Mang and asked, “Senior, what’s the matter?”
At this moment, a young man standing next to her looked at Wang Mang warily.
Seeing this, Wang Mang rolled his eyes and smiled.
“Little girl, wait here for me. I have something to tell you later.”
With that, Wang Mang put his arm around the young man’s shoulder and walked away. As they walked away, he threatened the young man.
“Brat, get lost or I’ll kill you.”
After saying that, Wang Mang pushed the young man away fiercely, almost causing him to fall.
The young man who had barely managed to stand up after stumbling, glared at Wang Mang with anger, trembling. However, he was cowed by Wang Mang’s cold and threatening gaze, and eventually left dejectedly.
Seeing this, Wang Mang nodded in satisfaction.
Then, Wang Mang walked back to the girl with a warm smile on his face.
“Little girl, I have a treasure to show you.”
“However, there are too many people here. Let’s find a place with no one around and I’ll show it to you!”
Hearing this, the little girl’s eyes lit up and she asked curiously, “Senior, do you really have a treasure? Is it pretty? I like pretty things!”
