Supreme Emperor of Swords

Chapter 927 Primordial Concentrated Ore

The lean old man’s expression changed dramatically in an instant.

“Sir… Your Excellency, please wait for a moment.” He respectfully took the Purple-gold Card with both hands. His attitude was many times more respectful than how he treated Ding Sha before. His voice was even slightly trembling. Holding the Purple-gold Card, he said, “Please forgive me. I didn’t know you had come. I was impolite. I will immediately check this card.”

As he spoke, he quickly went to check the card.

As long as a VIP card of Shengyuan Bank was read from a top-grade Precious Weapon called the “Sky Ring”, similar to a swipe card reader, the information stored in it could be known. This was a highly civilized product of the inscription method, very similar to a pos terminal for credit cards on Earth in Ding Hao’s previous life.

As Xu Changqing gently touched the Sky Ring with the card, the lean old man’s expression changed dramatically.

He looked at Ding Hao with more and more awe.

“I didn’t know it was you who had come.” Xu Changqing handed over the Purple-gold Card back to Ding Hao with both hands and bowed, saying, “You can withdraw resources from the bank at will with this card. I am just the manager of the bank branch in the Stone Mouth City, so I’m not qualified to talk to you. You can take away these concentrated ores from the deep sea, but you don’t have to pay anything.”

Ding Hao was stunned.

Ding Sha and the Mermaid Princess were also stunned.

Everyone knew clearly how powerful the background of Shengyuan Bank was. Some people secretly called the currency empire the second ruler of the Eastern Continent. Its status in the field of commerce and currency was so high that it seemed to be the second God’s Palace.

As the senior manager in the Stone Mouth City branch, Xu Changqing had a very high status, which was equivalent to that of a duke. Even the magistrate of the God’s Palace in the Stone Mouth City had to show respect to Xu Changqing when he saw him. Xu Changqing was definitely a big shot.

But now he was showing so much respect to Ding Hao?

Ding Hao gasped in his heart.

He might have thought that the Purple-gold Cards his father had left for him were extraordinary, but he never thought that they would be so valuable. From Xu Changqing’s attitude, the respect he was showing was not for a customer. Only a servant would show so much respect to his master.

“What does this Purple-gold Card represent?”

As Ding Hao was shocked, he thought of the other two Purple-gold Cards he had. They were more exquisitely made than this one. He wondered what would happen if he took them out now?

After thinking for a while, Ding Hao decided not to take them out.

“Thank you very much, Mr. Xu.” Ding Hao took the Purple-gold Card and said a few polite words. Xu Changqing ordered people to bring the six concentrated ores from the deep sea over and put them in front of Ding Hao.

The six concentrated ores from the deep sea looked similar to ordinary rocks. The color of the uneven texture was light brown. There were different kinds of brilliance flickering in the depths of the concave parts. They contained stunning power. The light brown stripes on the surface were also made of extremely rare substances, which firmly locked the power inside.

The diameter of the rocks seemed to be only around half a meter. In fact, each of them weighed ten thousand pounds.

“You want to know why I want these concentrated ores from the deep sea?” Ding Hao suddenly turned around and smiled at the dazed Mermaid Princess, saying, “Because these are not ordinary concentrated ores from the deep sea, but…”

As Ding Hao spoke, his palm was suddenly used as a knife to cut the rock.

Hiss!

A concentrated ore from the deep sea, which was the closest to them, was cut into two pieces. Suddenly, a blue brilliance rose to the sky. The brown crust on the surface of this rock was only as thick as two fingers. The crystals inside looked like blue crystals, shining with charming brilliance.

This was a concentrated ore from the deep sea.

What was really attractive was the core part of the blue crystal. A pure blue light about the size of a fist was flowing slowly and dreamily. It looked like condensed nectar and was shaking slightly.

“Oh my God, Primordial Concentrated Ore? This is the real Primordial Concentrated Ore!” Someone cried out in shock.

The blue dreamy brilliance suddenly enveloped the entire hall of the bank. For a moment, everyone in the hall was stunned. The blue brilliance burned everyone’s eyes and made countless hearts beat faster.

Now only the sound of thumping heartbeats could be heard in the surroundings.

Many people felt that their mouths were dry. They surrounded the concentrated ore unconsciously.

Pairs of eyes were fixed on the fist-sized blue essence at the core of the concentrated ore from the deep sea. Everyone began to swallow unconsciously.

The Primordial Concentrated Ore!

That was a Primordial Concentrated Ore!

The word “Primordial” indicated the simplest and earliest essence power at the beginning of the world. It was the essence of the concentrated ore from the deep sea. Even in the Sea Clan, this kind of essence was very rare. Basically, there might not be a concentrated ore that contained a Primordial Concentrated Ore in an ore vein that had tens of millions of concentrated ores in it.

Any ore related to the word “Primordial” would be a divine object.

It was a kind of divine material that could be used to forge Divine Artifacts.

According to the legends, if Primordial Concentrated Ores were refined again, it was possible to forge Immortal Artifacts with them.

If it were any other time, this sort of thing would be a treasure that would be frantically fought over.

The blue brilliance had caused the reaction of everyone’s eyes and heart.

Ding Sha seemed to be petrified. The Mermaid Princess of the Sea Clan was also dumbfounded. Her beautiful big eyes could not hide her shock. She covered her bright little mouth with her slender hand. It was the first time that she had lost her composure like this.

Ding Hao smiled faintly. He took out the Primordial Concentrated Ore from the concentrated ore and held it in his hand.

This ball of pure energy was shaking in Ding Hao’s hand like a big piece of jelly. There was an indescribable aura of Tao spreading out with Ding Hao as the center. This ball of jelly-like thing contained clearly the power of the rules.

Under the greedy and shocked eyes, Ding Hao put the Primordial Concentrated Ore into his Storage Ring.

The stunning blue brilliance disappeared.

From everyone’s expression, they felt it was a pity they couldn’t have it and they couldn’t help feeling a sense of loss. Everyone was thinking: how good it would be if the Primordial Concentrated Ore belonged to him.

Even the Mermaid Princess was regretting it. She hadn’t even known that she had such a precious treasure in her possession. However, she gave away such a precious treasure as a piece of garbage in exchange for mysterious crystals. If people knew it, she would become the biggest laughingstock.

For a moment, the Mermaid Princess really wanted to go back on her words and take back those concentrated ores from the deep sea.

However, the good upbringing of the royal family, which she had received for a long time, made her choose to be silent.

Although she didn’t know why this young man could see the treasure in the concentrated ore from the deep sea, she had a very strange feeling that he seemed to deliberately show her the Primordial Concentrated Ore inside it.

He seemed to be provoking her?

The Mermaid Princess was a little puzzled.

Once such a precious treasure was revealed, it would definitely cause a sensation and arouse the covetousness of all parties. Someone might take the risk to rob it. As the saying goes, an ordinary man’s life would be endangered if he held the treasure in his hands. His life might be in danger because of the treasure.

What was his purpose to do so?

“Bro, are you willing to sell this Primordial Concentrated Ore? I am willing to purchase it at a high price,” asked a middle-aged man tentatively.

“Right, Bro, name a price. I promise you will be satisfied.”

“I am Ximen Piaoxue from the Ximen Family. If you are willing to transfer this Primordial Concentrated Ore to us, the Ximen Family will definitely treat you as an honored guest,” said an arrogant-looking old lady slowly.

Many people in the hall wanted to buy it at this moment.

Ding Hao shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, everyone. I have a special use for this Primordial Concentrated Ore. I won’t transfer it to anyone.”

The crowd was instantly disappointed.

“Such a treasure should belong to a man with virtue. You might be able to get it, but you might not enjoy it alive. If you’re sensible, you had better transfer it. Perhaps you can obtain a fortune. Otherwise, it’ll probably become the cause of your death,” said someone with an ill intention.

“If your virtue can’t match something you get, it will cause you to suffer.” Someone secretly threatened Ding Hao. “The Primordial Concentrated Ore isn’t something ordinary people can have.”

The old woman from the Ximen Family took a step forward with her dragon-head crutch and said with an ill intention, “Bro, I advise you to transfer it, lest you get into trouble. At that time, it will be too late for you to regret.”

Ding Hao raised his eyebrows and was about to say something. Right at this moment—

“Humph, what high-sounding remarks! I advise you not to have any evil ideas. This young master is an honored guest of our Shengyuan Bank. If he is attacked in the Stone Mouth City, Shengyuan Bank will definitely investigate it to the end. We won’t stop until we are dead,” said the lean old man, Xu Changqing, suddenly.

His tone was harsh when he said the final words. He no longer looked as kind as before. There was a sharp aura like a flash of lightning between his eyebrows. Suddenly, he became like a peerless divine sword. A powerful aura was emitted from his thin body.

Xu Changqing was obviously a top master.

As soon as he said that, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn.

Everyone could feel the strong sense of threat in Xu Changqing’s words. Although they were angry in their hearts, they did not dare to show it. Xu Changqing’s words might not be very important, but he represented Shengyuan Bank, which was a behemoth that they could not afford to offend.

What exactly was the relationship between this young man and Shengyuan Bank?

Many people were weighing the pros and cons of secretly competing for the Primordial Concentrated Ore and offending Shengyuan Bank. They didn’t know whether it was worthwhile to take the risk.

Ding Sha had been observing them coldly.

He did not say anything. Instead, he snorted coldly and suddenly turned to leave with his subordinates and the Mermaid Princess. He did not beat over the issue that Ding Hao had broken the arrogant young man’s teeth.

There was a strange smile on Ding Hao’s lips when he watched Ding Sha leave.

“Thank you, Mr. Xu.” Ding Hao cupped his hands to express his gratitude. He put the other four concentrated ores from the deep sea, which had not been cut, into his storage space. Then he turned around and walked out.

“Sir, please wait a moment.” The lean old man quickly took a step forward and said, “There will be a storm soon. Why don’t you stay in the bank for a few days and leave after the storm passes?”

The meaning of his words was veiled, but everyone could understand it.

Ding Hao smiled faintly and said confidently, “Even if there is a terrible storm, so what? No matter how the environment is changing, my heart is still peaceful.”
