Chapter 39: Ore Vein

Dream Dao Attainment, Opening Scheme Against Cultivators

Dream-Making Expert

Hearing Xiao Wei's answer, Xiao Mingcheng and Chen Fan both cried out in surprise. They exchanged a glance, their heartbeats involuntarily quickening.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Wei looked utterly bewildered, not understanding why Xiao Mingcheng and Chen Fan had suddenly changed their attitudes so drastically.

It was just Natural Pure Crystal, wasn't it?

By value, it was only half of true crystal stones. These few pieces in front of them were worth merely two and a half crystals. Was there really a need to be so excited?

"Junior Sister Xiao Wei, you don't understand."

Chen Fan forcefully suppressed the trace of greed rising in his heart. He glanced at Xiao Mingcheng, saw that Xiao Mingcheng was also lost in thought, and only after a moment's hesitation spoke in a low voice.

"You see, the various Markets have always purchased all kinds of Natural Pure Crystal at half the price of normal crystal stones."

"But in truth, what the Markets are buying isn't the isolated Natural Pure Crystal, but Natural Pure Crystal Ore Veins."

"Because most of the time, Natural Pure Crystal exists in the form of ore veins."

"Discovering Natural Pure Crystal often means discovering a Natural Pure Crystal Ore Vein."

"So if that Senior Brother Yang didn't lie to you, then the place where he picked up these few pieces of Natural Pure Crystal should have a Natural Pure Crystal Ore Vein."

"Five years ago, a fool in Mushan Market picked up a few pieces of Natural White Diamond. He was foolish enough not to realize he had discovered a Natural White Diamond Ore Vein."

"And he thought the Market's purchase price was too low, so he set up a stall in the Market to sell them."

"This triggered a massive battle throughout Mushan Market."

Chen Fan licked his lips. "In the end, that ore vein fell into the hands of the Immortal Academy Elder Zhao Yueru. Rumor has it she gave it to her final disciple, who exchanged it at the Immortal Academy for this many Contribution Points."

Chen Fan spread all five fingers. Xiao Wei immediately cried out in shock. "I remember now! Five years ago, Core Disciple Senior Sister Zhao suddenly obtained fifty million Contribution Points."

"Everyone said her Master gave them to her. I was even jealous for a long time."

"So it was actually a Natural Pure Crystal Ore Vein that was given to her?"

"Wait, what are you saying?"

Xiao Wei's pupils contracted. She finally grasped the situation, looking toward the red crystal on the table that Lin Qi had given her, glittering brightly. "Senior Brother Yang also discovered a Natural Pure Crystal Ore Vein. But it seems he didn't realize it?"

"But isn't he a Core Disciple? How could he possibly not know the value of a Natural Pure Crystal Ore Vein?"

"Three possibilities."

Xiao Mingcheng spoke slowly. "One, he truly didn't realize he had discovered a Natural Pure Crystal Ore Vein, which is why he gave you these few pieces of Natural Fire Diamond."

"Two, he knows the value of a Natural Pure Crystal Ore Vein, but he's confident in his status and position, unafraid that anyone would dare compete with him."
