Chapter 1165: Golden Dragon and Mystic Ice
On the floor of the hall, three boxes were placed!There were only four, and everyone was alarmed. However, they had noticed that there used to be other boxes placed on the floor.Patriarch Taiyuan didn...Chapter 1165: Golden Dragon Frost
Everyone was discussing the golden dragon frost, except for Shen Xiang who was very focused and intently watching. Some people thought he was pretending to understand frost, especially those who often played with it. They believed that no matter how good the first glance was, he could immediately determine that there must be treasures inside this golden dragon frost!
Shen Xiang used the Chaos Divine Eye and carefully inspected it several times but didn't find anything inside. He shook his head in disappointment, feeling regretful that such a beautiful frost didn't have any treasures inside. He was even more certain that all the flashy, fancy frosts looked empty on the inside!
“Comrade, what are you sighing about It's normal that you can't afford it. Did you think you could actually see whether there's anything inside” An old man was angry because Shen Xiang had pushed him and was still holding a grudge. Seeing his serious expression, the old man was dissatisfied and began to scold him.
Shen Xiang, who was now a middle-aged man with long mustaches, shook his head and said, "No. I'm sighing because the golden dragon frost is so beautiful on the outside but there's nothing inside!"
Shen Xiang was telling the truth. Although his voice was low, those with good hearing could hear him clearly, and when he said so, the crowd became angry in their hearts and cursed inwardly, "You know nothing!"
Seeing the crowd's faces, Shen Xiang didn't say anything else. He was indeed telling the truth just now.
One man responded, "This is nonsense. Such an extraordinary frost naturally turns into a dragon inside. How could there be no treasure If there's no treasure, how did it turn into a dragon"
Shen Xiang replied, "I've seen many extraordinary frosts but rarely find treasures. Then I'd like to ask, why can't these extraordinary frosts produce treasures These frosts are empty and yet they look so flashy!"
What he said was true, but when others heard it, they were dumbfounded. However, the black-robed man insisted, "You can't see that golden dragon frost is incomparable to other extraordinary frosts There must be treasures inside!"
Shen Xiang sneered, "What you're saying is useless unless we break it open!"
Another man added, "Yes, but breaking the frost requires buying it. This is like gambling big money. Who here dares to do this"
Somebody else said, "Stop talking nonsense. Let's do something practical instead!"
"Buy it and break it!"
The crowd cheered.
Shen Xiang addressed the black-robed man, "If I'm not mistaken, this golden dragon frost belongs to you. You're so sure there's treasure inside and yet you're selling it here instead of breaking it by yourself. What exactly is your intention"
The crowd murmured, and they could see the muscles on the black-robed man's face twitching. They were convinced that this golden dragon frost belonged to him.
Shen Xiang himself was unsure at first, but he said it casually. Even if this golden dragon frost wasn't his, Shen Xiang had nothing to lose.
Since he was so convinced that there must be treasure inside, why not break the frost by himself and sell it here for a premium price Only then could he understand why there was no confidence in his golden dragon frost when talking about it, but the black-robed man was so sure of there being treasure inside. He must be promoting his frost.
Seeing that the black-robed man had nothing to say, Shen Xiang secretly chuckled. He was here today just for the crowd's entertainment and also to cause trouble, especially this golden dragon frost with such high-quality cold energy could never be allowed by the Flame God Temple to resurrect Ice Empress!
So, Shen Xiang decided to break the frost! The black-robed man took a deep breath and cursed Shen Xiang many times before slowly saying, "There must be treasure inside the golden dragon frost, but it's divided into different levels of quality. I'm not sure what kind of treasure this is, so that's why I'm selling it here. If you guys want to take the risk, I'll sell it for 15 trillion crystal stones now."
The crowd was surprised, but there were probably few who would buy it. The risk is too big and the price is too high, even for a giant like Flame God Temple.
Shen Xiang sneered, "You said before that there must be treasure inside the golden dragon frost. It's also possible that it could be bad treasures, isn't it"
"Correct! There must be treasure inside the golden dragon frost!" The black-robed man was very firm in his words.
Shen Xiang asked, "What if there isn't"
"If I buy this golden dragon frost, and there's no treasure inside, just give me back the 15 trillion crystal stones," said Shen Xiang while looking at the golden dragon frost.
The black-robed man didn't say anything, knowing that he wouldn't agree to such a foolish thing. Shen Xiang expected this result and said something powerful next, "Let me offer another deal. Since I don't believe there's treasure inside the golden dragon frost, if I buy your golden dragon frost and it isn't broken open to see nothing inside, you'll return the 15 trillion crystal stones to me."
He continued, "If there's treasure inside, the treasure is yours and the same goes for that 15 trillion crystal stones. What do you think"
The black-robed man thought for a moment and said, "There's no problem with that!"
Shen Xiang immediately took out the 15 trillion crystal stones. He earned a lot of these from Dragg City and always had them with him.
When someone can put together such a huge sum of crystal stones all at once, they must have significant connections. Everyone immediately became cautious and didn't underestimate Shen Xiang anymore because he wasn’t using the money to buy frost, but to bet. Not only crystal stones were at stake, but also the treasure inside the frost!
If there was a very valuable treasure inside, he would definitely suffer a huge loss! Everyone immediately backed off and kept distance from the golden dragon frost. They didn’t expect that someone who claimed there was no treasure inside would actually buy it and pay with crystal stones so willingly, making them admire him very much.
Everyone was guessing about this person’s identity, indicating that he must be someone of importance.
The golden dragon frost was sold, along with the bet. If Shen Xiang won, he wouldn’t get anything but confirming that there’s no treasure inside, while the black-robed man would get both the treasure and the 15 trillion crystal stones. Whoever broke the frost was from the organization that hosted this frost gathering, using a sharp knife. All it took was to apply force to the frost, and golden dragon frost would become pieces.
"Old man, thank you!" After saying this, Shen Xiang quickly stepped back to avoid being accused of cheating. The black-robed man was also cautious, staying away from the three-meter-tall golden dragon frost.
The old man pierced the frost with his sharp knife and saw that the golden dragon frost suddenly broke into pieces, turning into ice crystals falling onto the ground!
The crystal stone ground became a thick pile of ice crystals, which couldn’t determine if there’s treasure inside yet. Seeing the old man wave his sleeves lightly and lift those ice crystals with strength, they were suspended in mid-air like water curtains. It was clear that there wasn’t any treasure inside!
Shen Xiang chuckled, "Comrade, are you trying to cheat me"
The black-robed man clenched his fists tightly, looking very agitated. He charged forward to carefully inspect the ice crystals and checked them thoroughly but couldn’t find any treasure.
The cold 15 trillion crystal stones needed to be returned immediately after they were heated up, which made the black-robed man unhappy. Although he gained a lot from the bet, losing would still cause him significant losses.
Shen Xiang collected the ice crystals on the ground, which was his ultimate goal. He didn’t spend a single crystal stone to get the golden dragon frost! These ice crystals were considered waste by many people, but in Shen Xiang’s eyes, they were top-quality medicine for alchemy. With his skills, he could turn them into a very powerful killing tool.

An old man inside the manor said angrily, "Who is this person How can a golden dragon frost be destroyed like that by him for no reason Check his background thoroughly. If he isn't too powerful, give him a lesson! He destroyed our plan!"
Another old man added, "We investigated everyone's background who qualified before the event. But this person was particularly difficult to investigate, suggesting that he used disguise and a fake name. He's definitely someone of great importance but we don't know if he's hostile to our Flame God Temple!"
The old man of the Flame God Temple scoffed, "Whether he's friendly or hostile to our Flame God Temple, his actions of destroying such a precious frost must be punished!". As long as he can use it frequently in the future, this sword will develop a sense of bloodline connection with him and allow him to use it more skillfully.Shen Xiang didn't practice God Slaying Sev...
