Chapter 407 Fireworks (2/2)

Everyone saw a red flame rise up, red liquid flowing within it. A surge of heat spread, filled with pure fire-type Genesis Qi.

“From its lustre, it should be a fifty year essence flame.” There was no lack of experts in the crowd, as gasps of surprise quickly followed.

Although a fifty year essence flame was not that high, its value had already far surpassed a single flame rock. Anyone who managed to obtain one would have made a nice little sum for oneself.

Su Duan’s expression exuded calm and confidence, because this was only the appetizer.

His gaze turned towards the second flame rock as his sharp little knife began its work.

As such, Su Duan began to open the remaining four rocks in the next few minutes.

The outcome he achieved were waves of cheers, each louder and more excited than the one before.

The second flame rock contained a hundred year essence flame.

The third rock, a two hundred year essence flame.

The fourth, was a dud.

However, no one ridiculed him, because everyone knew that even the experienced master would make mistakes sometimes. After all, there were times when the signs on the outside could not accurate detect the situation on the inside.

Despite the slip-up, the confidence on Su Duan’s face remained unshaken. When he opened the final flame stone, the entire place exploded into a thunderous uproar.

A red flame abruptly rose from the stone, reaching a height of half a foot!

This was a five hundred year essence flame!

If sold, it would fetch a price of at least a million Genesis crystals, while the cost of every flame rock was only ten thousand...

Winning such a huge sum with such a comparatively small investment made the eyes of several people turn red with excitement.

“As expected of the junior sect master of the Flame Cauldron Sect. Such insight and experience is truly worthy of admiration.” Many people could not help but sigh in amazement, their eyes filled with admiration when they looked towards Su Duan.

Of the five rocks he had selected, only one had been a dud, while the other four were profit. The five hundred year essence flame in particular was a rare find indeed.

From this, one could see how accomplished Su Duan was in this field.

In response to the cheering crowd, Su Duan revealed a modest smile. He brushed off his hands, before turning towards Zuoqiu Qingyu with a confident smile. “I hope that I haven’t been too unsightly.”

Zuoqiu Qingyu had no choice but to admit that he had indeed been both skilled and entertaining.

Hence, she could not help but become a little worried when she looked towards Zhou Yuan.

At this moment, Su Duan’s gaze turned towards the seemingly stunned Zhou Yuan with a hint of playful mockery as he smiled and jokingly said, “Is brother Zhou planning on admitting defeat?”

It seemed to be a joke, but it was actually forcing Zhou Yuan to continue.

Zhou Yuan paid no heed to Su Duan’s little tricks. Instead, he glanced at the essence flames in front of the latter as a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

“Turns out that a five hundred year essence flame is actually quite small…”

He mumbled to himself, before turning to face the countless watching gazes. He did not use any tools, and instead clenched his fist under the numerous dumbstruck eyes of the onlookers, before sending out sharp punch after punch.

Papapa!

His fist swiftly descended as the ten flame rocks were barbarically smashed apart.

“How… crude!” His actions caused several onlookers to huff at their beards in anger.

Su Duan also shook his head as the disdainful smile on his lips grew even wider. From the looks of it, Zhou Yuan had never played flame rock gambling before. A country bumpkin was just a country bumpkin after all!

However, the jeers only lasted for a few breaths.

Because in the next instant, red flames ferociously spouted out from the shattered rocks like pillars of fire, instantly raising the temperature in the entire fair.

Red pillars of fire were reflected in countless eyes.

Silence.

Face after face gradually turned rigid at this moment, appearing extremely comical under the flickering fire light.

A mumbling like noise began to rise in the heats of several individuals.

“My god… are you freaking… setting off fireworks?”
