Chapter 1809 He's gone mad, he's lost all passion!
Jin Jingzi concentrated his energy and carefully broke open the honeycomb egg.
After the eggshell cracked, a strong earthy smell wafted out, followed by several pieces of [Earth Essence Stone] of varying sizes rolling out, with a total value that probably did not exceed fifty million.
Jin Jingzi expressionlessly put away the stones, a vein throbbing on his forehead.
Exchanging 1.8 billion for 50 million is a huge loss!
The situation isn't much better for Jiuxiu Sanren's side either.
After the Frost Egg shattered, only a small amount of crystalline powder remained.
【Ice Soul Powder】is an auxiliary ingredient for refining certain cold-attribute pills, and is worth two to three hundred million.
Exchanging 800 million for 200-300 million still results in a loss.
The onlookers were disappointed once again.
"I've lost money again. I feel suffocated just looking at it."
"Jin Jingzi's two sealed eggs must have cost nearly 3 billion, he really spends money like water."
"The Master of Heaven's money didn't grow on trees, he's lost a lot of money this time."
"It seems the overall quality of today's batch of eggs might not be very good?"
"I'm so glad I didn't make a move, otherwise I would have really lost out big time."
At this moment, the two masters' faces were as black as the bottom of a pot. The continuous failures were not only a loss of wealth, but also a blow to their reputation.
But the two of them still did not give up.
Gambler's mentality and professional dignity are what keep them going; perhaps the next bet will turn their fortunes around.
The third round continues.
The two of them examined the remaining sealed eggs on the stage several times.
In the end, Jin Jingzi gritted his teeth and chose a jade-green egg, priced at 2.2 billion.
The wine-scented hermit pointed to an egg whose shell was covered with sharp metal spikes, priced at 1.5 billion.
Upon opening the seal, Jin Jingzi obtained a piece of "Life Jade" of decent quality but small size, valued at seven to eight hundred million.
The wine connoisseur discovered a piece of "Geng Metal Essence," which was even smaller in size and estimated to be worth around 500 million.
It's still losing money, and the losses are getting bigger and bigger.
Jin Jingzi invested a total of 5.2 billion yuan in the first three rounds, but recovered less than 900 million yuan.
Jiuxiu Sanren invested 2.6 billion yuan but only recouped less than 800 million yuan.
The fame and fortune the two had previously accumulated are evaporating at an alarming rate.
Some people in the audience were already shaking their heads, thinking that these two were probably doomed today.
Even Feng Qingyu sighed softly and whispered to Ye Chuyun, "Greed and obsession are the greatest enemies of the Tongtian Masters. Often, it is not the chaotic shell, but themselves."
"After a series of setbacks, it's easy to lose your composure and make wrong judgments."
Ye Chuyun nodded in deep agreement, while secretly rejoicing at her previous caution.
However, just when everyone thought that today's duel would end in a farce with the two celestial masters going bankrupt, a turning point quietly appeared in the fourth round of exploration.
Perhaps it was the series of failures that spurred them on, or perhaps it was their do-or-die determination that unleashed their potential. Jin Jingzi and Jiuxiu Sanren, without prior agreement, began to use their most trump cards, sparing no expense to conduct a deeper investigation.
Jin Jingzi let out a low roar, formed an extremely complex ancient hand seal with his hands, and slammed them onto the temples on both sides of his forehead.
Suddenly, the golden light in the vertical eye on his forehead surged, so bright that some onlookers nearby squinted.
Those who can enter the black market are all highly skilled individuals; the golden light that makes them squint their eyes speaks volumes about its power.
Then, the golden light condensed into a thin golden thread, which began to probe one by one the eggs that the Golden Eyes had previously noticed but could not identify.
When the golden thread swept across a sealed egg with the number yellow three, an anomaly immediately occurred.
The moment the gold thread touched the eggshell, it was immediately attracted and paused slightly.
Immediately afterward, in Jin Jingzi's vision, the inside of the eggshell was no longer a chaotic mess, but suddenly exploded with a burst of blood-red killing intent!
Amidst the murderous aura, a crimson sword shadow, as red as blood, could be vaguely seen moving about.
Although the sword shadow was small, it exuded a terrifying sword intent that could annihilate all things and slaughter all living beings. Just a fleeting glimpse was enough to make Jin Jingzi's soul tremble violently, and a sharp pain came from his brow and vertical eye, almost causing him to shed tears of blood.
But a surge of wild joy welled up in his heart. Such an intense killing phenomenon must contain an extraordinary treasure for slaughter.
Its value is immeasurable!
Almost at the same time, Jiuxiu Sanren on the other side also became ruthless.
He opened his mouth and exhaled three mouthfuls of blood-red wine containing his essence into the air.
The three mouthfuls of bloody wine vapor transformed into small, blood-red snakes, which burrowed into his bulbous nose.
In an instant, the nose of the Wine-Smelling Hermit shone brightly, and a mixture of the aroma of wine and the stench of blood enveloped the remaining sealed eggs.
This enhanced sense of smell quickly detected an unusual target.
The egg, numbered with the character "地" (di), is about the size of a millstone. Its black shell is pitted and uneven, as if it had been corroded.
In the perception of the Wine-Scented Hermit, the inside of this egg was like a bottomless black hole, exuding a cold and deathly aura.
A shadow that is constantly expanding can be vaguely seen inside the black hole.
The shadow seemed to be trying to break free of the eggshell and devour everything around it.
It is extremely dangerous, but it also means that what is sealed inside is no ordinary thing.
The two stopped their exploration almost simultaneously, their eyes fixed on their respective targets, their eyes blazing with intense light.
"I want that one, the one with the yellow number three, the red blood egg!" Jin Jingzi was extremely excited.
"No matter how much!"
The staff quickly checked: "Yellow number three, 2.5 billion."
This price is one of the highest currently available.
"I bought it!" Jin Jingzi immediately paid and received the jade pendant.
He has already gone all in.
"Daoist Master, I want the Earthly Branch number one, the Black Erosion Egg!" the Wine-Scented Hermit shouted hoarsely, pointing to the giant black egg.
"The character '地' (earth) represents 3 billion."
Everyone's eyes widened.
Goodness, this price is even higher.
Upon hearing this, Jiuxiu Sanren's eyes twitched, but thinking of the ever-expanding terrifying shadow he had just sensed, and the chance to turn the tables, he steeled himself and paid the bill.
When the crowd erupted in excitement upon seeing that the two masters, after suffering repeated losses, had each placed such heavy bets again!
"He's made another purchase, and this time he chose something so expensive."
"My God, Jin Jingzi's eyes are shining! Did he just see something?"
"The nose of the wine-smelling man was also frighteningly red; he must have smelled a big shipment."
"This is going to be interesting. Could they actually find something good?"
"It's hard to say. We've already lost so much money; if we fail again this time..."
"Look, even the guards have been mobilized!"
Sure enough, noticing the unusual activity caused by Jin Jingzi and Jiuxiu Sanren selecting the egg, the purple-robed host frowned slightly and raised his hand to signal.
Four of the eight black-clad guards, who had remained motionless like statues, immediately separated and quickly moved to the perimeter of the unsealed area, each taking up a position.
They formed hand seals and chanted incantations.
Four black beams of light shot up from their bodies, quickly enveloping the entire Unsealed Zone.
This move further heightened the tension.
