"We've struck it rich!"
At the sight of that emerald-green glow, someone among the crowd immediately let out an excited, low shout.
Following their gazes, Ye Xiu saw the two cultivators on either side helping move aside the cut-open raw stone. A twisting streak of emerald green spread out from within the pitch-black stone flesh.
"Ah, what a pity. If there were just a little fewer impurities in it, this one might have produced Universal Stone crystals."
Gu Mengsheng put on a regretful look, but the delight on his face was impossible to hide.

The purer the power it contained, the higher its value.
After preliminary screening, all the raw stones in this area were priced the same. Three thousand of the lowest-grade Bite Stones could buy one.
With this cut, the radiance blooming from Gu Mengsheng's raw stone was already worth at least tens of thousands of low-grade Bite Stones. In the span of a breath, he had made dozens of times his investment. How could that not excite people?
"The gambling stone market has appraised the Bite Stone contained within this raw stone at seventy-four thousand, three hundred and twenty-seven Bite Stones!"
The gambling stone market's appraiser gave the valuation at just the right moment, setting off a wave of gasps from the crowd.
They had known this thing was valuable, but they had never expected it to nearly cross the hundred-thousand threshold.
For an ordinary cultivator, it was unknown how long they would have to struggle outside End City, risking life and limb, to accumulate Bite Stones of such quality.
"Thank you for the appraisal, sir. Please buy it back
