Chapter 1707: Small Stone
“Would you believe me if I told you we are just friends?” Su Mo asked with a smile.
“Of course I would!” Jiang Shenye nodded. However, seeing Qing Ya’s attitude towards Su Mo, he felt that they were more than friends.
“We’ll talk about this next time. Show me the treasure first!” Su Mo urged. He could not delay any further.
“Alright!” Jiang Shenye said nothing further and activated his Starlight Eyes Fighting Soul. Starlight instantly lingered in his eyes as he started to inspect all the treasures on the Jade Platform.
Jiang Shenye went through the treasures piece by piece. The treasures had either long been wiped out of their shine, or were already damaged. It was hard for even him to discover it.
Su Mo stood beside Jiang Shenye and did not disturb him as he quietly waited for the outcome.
Qing Ya also watched from a corner. From time to time she transmitted messages to Su Mo as they both discussed the broken treasures one piece at a time.
However, the appreciative ability of the two of them was limited. It was simply impossible to judge which kind of treasure was related to which resurrection.
Su Mo felt helpless. He even gave thought to the prospect of buying all the two thousand treasures. To him, this was not that difficult.
However, if he really did it, the others would definitely object.
Moreover, he would definitely become a public target when the time arrived. If he were unlucky, his identity would be exposed and his wealth would be eyed by others.
Now, he could only pin his hopes on Jiang Shenye and hope that he would attain results.
“This…!”
At that time, Jiang Shenye’s gaze fell on a weird item and he frowned.
“What’s wrong? Is it this?” Su Mo immediately asked Jiang Shenye as he looked at Jiang Shenye.
It was an alms bowl and was about the size of a normal bowl. However, it was missing a large piece and was evidently broken.

“No, this alms bowl is very similar to a kind of treasure that I have heard of before. However, it is seriously damaged!” Jiang Shenye shook his head.
Su Mo sighed silently. “Then keep going!” he said.
Immediately after, thinking that the other party did not need help, Su Mo continued, “Brother Jiang, as long as you help me find it, I will do whatever you ask in future!”
“Really?” Jiang Shenye was surprised. It seemed that Su Mo was really desperate for the treasure. How could it exist if it were so invincible?
It seemed that Su Mo had attained some news and knew that there was such treasures there which was the reason he was there.
He looked at everyone around and reckoned that there were others who had come forth for this?
Sighing to himself, Jiang Shenye thought no further as he continued to check. He activated his Starlight Eyes Fighting Soul to the maximum and a kind of Starlight was even more dazzling.
If there were truly such treasures there, he had to find them. That way, Su Mo would owe him and it would be a good opportunity.
Jiang Shenye checked piece by piece. From time to time he shook his head in rejection. After an hour, he had checked hundreds of treasures in detail but did not find any item related to resurrection.
At that time, there were already over two hundred treasures that had been bought by others. Jiang Shenye saw the anxiety on Su Mo’s face and could not help but increase the speed of his checking.
“Hmmm?”
At that time, Jiang Shenye’s gaze fell on a piece of treasure that raised his brows.
This piece of stone was as small as a grape. It was round, smooth and black in colour. It was extremely inconspicuous.
However, through the Starlight eyes, Jiang Shenye saw a source of strange power inside the stone.
This power was extremely faint and strange. It was completely different from ordinary Spiritual Qi and there was no fluctuation of power.

This power was somewhat similar to Spiritual consciousness, however, it was not completely similar. He could not lay his finger on what kind of power it was as it was way too weak.
“What? Have you made a discovery?” Su Mo asked with anticipation. He had been paying attention to Jiang Shenye’s expression. Looking at his manner, it was obvious that he had made a discovery.
“That stone is somewhat extraordinary. However, I am not very sure about it!” Jiang Shenye said.
Su Mo turned around to look at it. His gaze fell on that small stone as he instantly frowned.
Did this rough stone have the effect of reviving the dead?
“Let’s buy it first!” Su Mo said. Since there was no way to be certain, he would buy it first. He would rather buy it first than miss the chance to do so. Regardless, he had many Spiritual Crystals.
Just as Su Mo called out for Old Weei, a loud voice suddenly rang.
“Old Wei, I want to buy this stone!”
A young man covered in dense black scales pointed to the rough black stone and spoke.
This was a young man from the Black Scale Clan and he was covered with black scales from his head to toe, arms, neck and face.
Old Wei heard this from afar and immediately strode over.
Su Mo saw and was instantly shocked. He could not let this stone be bought by the other person. Although this stone might not be what he wanted, what if it was?
“Hei Chan, this is mine! Find your own item!”
At that time, someone else spoke. His voice was indifferent and was not to be rejected.
The person who spoke was none other than Qin Yun who had constantly been observing. His gaze had also fallen on the small stone.
It was evident that Qin Yun knew the Black Scale Clan youth.
“Hmph! Qin Yun, I saw it first. Find your own!” the Black Scale Clan youth replied coldly.
This black-scaled youth was called Hei Chan. His Cultivation was also extremely high. Although it was not of Qin Yun’s level, it was as high as Level 8 Martial Honoured Realm and it was evident that he was a Genius of the Black Scale Clan.
Su Mo’s face darkened. Qin Yun had actually also eyed this stone? That was not a good omen.
However, Su Mo did not rush to speak. Since a piece of treasure had been eyed by so many people at the same time, surely there were other rules!
“You two, if you both want this, the one who offers the highest price will get it.”
Old Wei walked over as he scanned Qin Yun and Hei Chan. He was full of smiles. This treasure being eyed by many at once was naturally a good thing for him. He could sell it at a higher price.
Hearing this, Su Mo’s eyes immediately lit up. Was this going to be like bidding at auctions? That would be easy!
“How much is it going for?” Qin Yun asked faintly. He was determined to obtain the item. He had come to the Remnant Hall just to get this.
After looking for over an hour, he had found the item and even used special means to do so.
No matter how much he had to spend, he was determined to get the stone. No one had the right to fight with him.
“It is going for 600,000 Upper Spiritual Crystals!” Old Wei smiled.
The crowd looked over in shock. What kind of stone was it that it was actually so expensive?
“I’ll pay 800,000!” Qin Yun said in a deep voice. Directly increasing the price by 200,000 Upper Spiritual Crystals seemed like a dominant move.
“I’ll pay one million!” Hei Chan would not back out and immediately increased the price by a further 200,000.
