This heavy responsibility could not be entrusted to others, so Yao Guangcheng personally took charge.
"Just have a look." Mu Hanyan casually picked up a raw stone and said. After all, she couldn’t tell the good from the bad; she was purely trying her luck and didn’t even bother to look more closely.
"Esteed custor," said Yao Guangcheng with a chuckle, "I’ve been in this line for most of my life and have so eye power. From what I see, the one you just chose seems like a useless stone. If you trust , how about I help you choose one?"
"Oh, this Stone Tasting Conference is basically a gambling den. You work here, and you’re helping . Isn’t that like playing both sides?" Mu Hanyan said offhandedly.
"Heh, you said it yourself—it’s a gambling den. Naturally, there must be wins and losses for others to co. If it were all losses, who would co? You all seem to be here for the first ti, so consider it as letting you have so fun and attracting a custor. It’s hardly playing both sides," Yao Guangcheng had his responses ready and smoothly countered.
In fact, in the casinos of Heishi City, there are always such shills. Many people initially co just for fun and don’t take these eager courtesies seriously until they find themselves sinking deeper, so Mu Hanyan didn’t find it odd at all.
"Alright, then you choose for ," Mu Hanyan said casually. Unintentionally, she again let slip the playboy vibe of not treating money as anything important.
"He’s luring you in; be careful," Ling Baobao whispered to Mu Hanyan after noticing her spendthrift manner.
"I know," Mu Hanyan said nonchalantly. It was just a try at luck anyway, so why fuss over it.
"Let’s go with this one then." Yao Guangcheng took out a raw stone that he had pre-selected.
Though it’s difficult to distinguish the quality of teorite gold, as an alchemist, he could still spot so clues. And he had at least a seventy percent confidence that this teorite gold ore contained high-quality teorite gold.
"Okay." Mu Hanyan looked at the price and generously handed over ten thousand taels in a silver note.
"Shall we refine it now?" Yao Guangcheng asked.
"Sure."
Yao Guangcheng took out a porcelain bottle, poured a few drops of liquid onto the raw stone, and then cast several Hand Formations. Soon, a wisp of blue smoke began erging from the grayish stone. It was apparent that so impurities were being expelled from the surface whereas shiny glimrs were rapidly condensing.
This is called Alchemy Liquid, specially used for identifying teorite gold ore. This potion is said to be very difficult to concoct, and its formula is held only by various royal families and a few academies, so its price is extrely high.
Of course, if one’s alchemy cultivation was refined enough, it was also possible to refine the raw stones with one’s own power directly, but it was exhausting and demanding. Consider that not even a few genuine teorite gold pieces could be selected from a hundred raw stones; even a high-level artifact refiner like Pang Dezong would be dead tired after a day without finding many teorite gold stones.
But using Alchemy Liquid was much easier. Even a beginner apprentice with just a little foundation in alchemy could easily refine a raw stone.
Soon, one corner of the raw stone’s surface was refined, revealing a sunset-red color sparkling with gold.
"Red Cloud Gold, it’s actually Red Cloud Gold," soone exclaid nearby.
Red Cloud Gold wasn’t considered top-grade teorite gold, but it was still more valuable than the Red Cloud Stone that young Swordsn had recently discovered in Exotic Beast Valley. This piece alone could fetch at least ten thousand taels of silver for Mu Hanyan.
