Naturally, the higher the grade of a Celestial Weapon, the higher its value. However, the difference in value between two grades of Celestial Weapon below the King Grade would not exceed ten thousand Celestial Crystals. For example, a Duke Grade Celestial Weapon normally costs 1000 mediocre Celestial Crystals or ten prominent Celestial Crystals whereas a prominent Celestial Weapon normally costs ten mediocre Celestial Crystals; a difference of 100 times in value. On the other hand, King Grade Celestial Weapons were 10,000 times more valuable than Duke Grade Celestial Weapons! Nobody in their right mind would be willing to trade a King Grade Celestial Weapon for 10,000 Duke Grade Celestial Weapons.

“It’s a King Grade Celestial Sword!”

“Heavens! Young Master Han obtained a King Grade Celestial Sword!”

“A King Grade Celestial Weapon is worth at least 100,000 prominent Celestial Crystals… Young Master Han has hit the jackpot this time!”

“Earlier, we were lamenting his loss of tens of thousands of prominent Celestial Crystals… In just a blink of an eye, he has won, at least, 100,000 prominent Celestial Crystals!”

Han Yun He, the Young Master of Hidden Sword City, naturally, drew everyone’s attention when he obtained the King Grade Celestial Sword. Even passersby outside the shop were drawn by the commotion. At this moment, a small crowd had formed outside of the shop. These people were all looking at Han Yun He enviously.

“Congratulations, Young Master Han, for obtaining a King Grade Celestial Sword!” The shop assistant congratulated Han Yun He.

“It’s not worth the congratulations… This King Grade Celestial Sword has cost me, at least, 150,000 prominent Celestial Crystals. Based on its quality, this sword is worth 130,000 or 140,000 prominent Celestial Crystals at most. I still lost 10,000 prominent Celestial Crystals. I’ll return the remaining Origin Stones to you. At least, I’ll be able to break even,” Han Yun He said, placing the remaining unopened sword-shaped Origin Stones back on the table.

In Devata Realms, if the Origin Stones were not opened, people were free to return them as long as they had not stepped out of the shop. This applied to all gambling stones shops.

After putting the King Grade Celestial Sword away, Han Yun He and his follower left the shop immediately.

The onlookers gathered at the shop entrance naturally parted to make way for Han Yun He and his man.

Soon enough, Han Yun He and his man disappeared from everyone’s sight, and the onlookers began to fervently discuss among themselves.

“Unbelievable! The Young Master of Hidden Sword City obtained a King Grade Celestial Weapon from this shop!”

“The direct descendants of the City Governor of Hidden Sword City are Sword Celestials… The city governor has a few King Grade Celestial Weapons, but only two of them are King Grade Celestial Swords. One is in his hand, and the other one is with the Commander of the Hidden Sword City’s army. Therefore, Young Master He has always lacked a King Grade Celestial Sword.”

“King Grade Celestial Swords can be found in the black market occasionally, but they sell out almost immediately… In Devata Realms, swords are a very popular choice of weapon so it’s difficult for Young Master Han to obtain a King Grade Celestial Sword even though he can afford it.”

“It costs him 130,000 to 140,000 prominent Celestial Crystals just to obtain a King Grade Celestial Sword of similar value. It seems like he has only broken even, but if you ask me, I think he made a big profit.”

“He deserves it. No ordinary people would dare to gamble so boldly like he did. Based on what I heard, the City Governor of Hidden Sword City had given him at least 200,000 prominent Celestial Crystals to obtain a King Grade Celestial Sword.”

Duan Ling Tian was equally impressed by Han Yun He’s boldness and luck. After all, not everyone would be able to obtain a King Grade Celestial Weapon through stone gambling even if they had 200,000 prominent Celestial Crystals to spend.

“The Young Master of Hidden Sword City is bold and decisive. He’ll definitely be as successful as his father in the future,” Huang Jia Long said with a sigh.

Hidden Sword City was one of the top cities under the Solitary Nation. Its city governor was also one of the strongest Celestial Dukes in the nation.

Not long after Han Yun He departed, the onlookers began to disperse. Soon enough, the shop regained its tranquility.

Duan Ling Tian and Huang Jia Long continued browsing the Origin Stones in the shop.

During that time, Huang Jia Long had bought a few Origin Stones on a whim. Alas, the contents were worthless.

“Why don’t you get the Origin Stones that the Young Master of Hidden Sword City returned? Who knows you might obtain something valuable?” Duan Ling Tian suggested, shaking his head as he looked at the worthless items Huang Jia Long obtained. Then, he jokingly said, “If you really obtain something valuable, the young master would definitely feel regretful if he finds out.”

The middle-aged slightly laughed and shook his head when he heard Duan Ling Tian’s joke.

“Brother Duan, you have a point. I’ll take the remaining Origin Stones the Young Master of Hidden Sword City returned! There are 13 Origin Stones, right? I’ll take all of them!”

“Jia Long… I was just kidding… Why’re you taking it seriously?” Duan Ling Tian was dumbfounded.

The 13 sword-shaped Origin Stones were worth 13,000 prominent Celestial Crystals!

“Brother Duan, stone gambling is just a game. As long as I’m having fun, it’s fine,” Huang Jia Long said with a smile. He was clearly determined to go through with Duan Ling Tian’s spontaneous suggestion. He turned to the middle-aged man and tossed a Spatial Ring to the middle-aged man. “There are 13,000 prominent Celestial Crystals in there. Go ahead and count them. If there’s no problem, bring the Origin Stones to me.”

“This…” The middle-aged man was momentarily stunned. An expression of delight appeared on his face when he regained his senses. He did not expect an unknown customer would purchase 13,000 prominent Celestial Crystals worth of Origin Stones without a second thought. “Dear guest, I’ll bring the Origin Stones to you at once!”

As the middle-aged man went to fetch the Origin Stones, the other shop assistants looked at him enviously

“Jia Long… That’s 13,000 worth of prominent Celestial Crystals…” Duan Ling Tian shook his head disapprovingly. He felt Huang Jia Long was too capricious.

“It’s just for fun, don’t worry… It’d be great if I really obtain something valuable, but even if I don’t, it’s still fun,” Huang Jia Long said with a smile.

At this moment, Huang Jia Long had already opened five Origin Stones. The best he had gotten so far was a Duke Grade Celestial Sword.

The customers in the shop began to discuss among themselves again as they watched Huang Jia Long opening one Origin Stone after another.

“This young man must be rich. He has spent at least 10,000 prominent Celestial Crystals on Origin Stones just for fun. He must have an extraordinary background.”

“I’ve never seen him before. He might come from another nation… The Imperial auction is about to start in a few days, after all. Many people from other nations have already arrived in our capital.”

“Perhaps. In the Solitary Nation, there aren’t many people who are as wealthy as him.”

At this moment, Huang Jia Long passed the remaining Origin Stones to Duan Ling Tian and said, “My luck doesn’t seem to be good at the moment… There are still three Origin Stones left. Brother Duan, why don’t you help me to open them?”

“Jia Long, I don’t think I’m any luckier than you are. I hope you won’t blame me if there’s nothing of value…” Duan Ling Tian replied with a smile.

“Brother Duan, it will still be impressive even if you obtain a primitive Celestial Sword,” Huang Jia Long said jokingly.

“Who knows… I might just obtain a primitive Celestial Sw…” Duan Ling Tian trailed off. He had opened an Origin Stone, revealing a mediocre Celestial Sword. “Look… It’s a mediocre Celestial Sword.”

Huang Jia Long laughed when he saw this.

Crack!

Duan Ling Tian continued to open the second Origin Stone. A ray of light shot out as soon as he cracked the Origin Stone open. A domineering energy filled the shop immediately.

The people in the shop were stunned when they saw the content of the Origin Stone.

“A Royal Grade Celestial Sword?!”
