Chapter 993: The Value Of A Lightning Essence Insect
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Waves of exclamations overlapped one another. Everyone was thunderstruck by the content inside Wang Teng’s piece of ore.
An Lan was overwhelmed. His emotions went on a rollercoaster ride. At first, he thought that they were destined to lose since Andrais’s ore had the Danzhi herb inside. It was worth 500 billion, a price impossible to surpass by a normal ore.
Yet, Wang Teng gave him a greater surprise. There was a treasure in the ore he chose too. It was an insect.
Normally, a living animal had more value than a plant or herb.
Most of the time, herbs and plants were found within the ores. Next were animals and last were special items. Thus, this small insect might have a higher value than the Danzhi herb.
!!
Besides, this insect was in a lightning-element energy stone, so it must have the same element too. Lightning-element energy stones were rare and lightning-element living creatures were rarer.
Andrais didn’t look good. The situation had changed entirely. He almost lost his mind.
“This is an ancient energy stone!”
The manager of the den lowered his head and stopped in his tracks. He was in a bad state. His lips were trembling as he spoke.
Wang Teng smiled. He stood up, walked forward, and picked up the piece of lightning element energy stone.
The ore was only half the size of his palm after it was cut. He dusted away the remaining powder and got dazzled by the thick purple glow. There was a small purple insect inside. If one didn’t observe it carefully, they might miss it.
The purple insect was fat and chubby. It looked like a silkworm. Its body was segmented and extremely thick, appearing quite funny.
Everyone’s gaze was attracted by the energy stone on Wang Teng’s palm. They couldn’t move their eyes away.
“Lightning Essence Insect!” a mining engineer said in a low voice. His gaze was intense.
“That’s right, this is the rare Lightning Essence Insect. I didn’t expect to see one here. This is incredible,” the white-haired elder exclaimed in surprise.
“I heard that the Lightning Essence Insect devours the purest lightning Force within the lightning-element energy stone. It had to be the purest and it must be an ancient energy stone. It’s quite picky,” the ape martial warrior said.
“This is why Lightning Essence Insects are rare. They ingest the purest form of Force, so their bodies are filled with pure Force too. They can be used to refine excellent medicines,” the white-haired elder said with scorching eyes.
Even a universe-stage martial warrior like him treated this Lightning Essence Insect as a treasure. This proved how incredible it was.
Wang Teng knew that the Lightning Essence Insect was extraordinary, but he didn’t expect it to be regarded so highly. Even the universe-stage martial warriors were eyeing it.
He thought about this matter and immediately sent a message to Grandmaster Hua Yuan. He told him about the Lightning Essence Insect.
This was a huge matter. An Lan couldn’t control the scene alone.
Grandmaster Hua Yuan was an alchemist. The Lightning Essence Insect had rare medicinal properties, so he definitely knew about it. Thus, the moment he heard about this matter, he hurried over.
Even Grandmaster Alfred, Grandmaster Mo De, and some other grandmasters from different fields came over.
“Wang Teng, find more people quickly. This Lightning Essence Insect is too valuable. I have no confidence in front of universe-stage martial warriors,” An Lan panicked. He didn’t know Wang Teng was one step ahead, so he used voice transmission to remind him.
“I’ve already contacted them.”
“That’s good, that’s good.” An Lan heaved a sigh of relief. His heart was pounding like a drum.
“How’s this possible!”
Chen Shu seemed to have received a huge blow after he heard the crowd’s discussion and saw the lightning-element energy stone. His face turned white and he slumped into his chair. All his energy was drained.
He was dead!
Wang Teng’s Lightning Essence Insect was more valuable than his Danzhi herb. This round, they lost again, worse than before.
Andrais wouldn’t forgive him.
Andrais sat on his seat with an indifferent expression. However, he was giving off an oppressive and dangerous aura.
He was on the verge of exploding. One spark and he would ignite into a fire.
Cao Guan stared at Wang Teng as if he was a ghost. He was filled with disbelief. He didn’t expect Wang Teng to find an ore with a Lightning Essence Insect inside. Were his eyes blessed by heaven?
Cao Jiaojiao couldn’t maintain her composure either. She stared at Wang Teng, unable to suppress her astonishment.
This was totally unexpected!
Why could he find such a valuable piece of ore? Was he a mining engineer? Was he more skilled than an ordinary mining engineer?

“No, you cheat, you must have cheated,” Chen Shu suddenly shouted like a maniac.
“I cheated?” Wang Teng turned and stared at the man speechlessly.
This old man must be bad. He couldn’t find any faults, so he framed him for cheating.
“You must have cheated. This Lightning Essence Insect is extremely rare. How can it appear in a leftover piece of ore—” Chen Shu was filled with frustration. His eyes turned bloodshot.
“Enough!” Before he could finish, Andrais stopped him with a yell.
“Mister, you must be careful with what you say,” the manager of the Ju Cai Rock Gamble warned with a cold expression.
“I’m sorry. I lost control of my emotions.” Chen Shu shuddered and regained his senses. He apologized to the manager with a pale face.
The entire den was under surveillance. He was questioning the reliability of the den by suspecting Wang Teng.
The manager’s heart was already bleeding after Chen Shu and Wang Teng picked two valuable ores. Thus, he gave Chen Shu the black face when he questioned their gambling den.
“Hmph!” He snorted and disregarded Chen Shu.
“Are you willing to sell this ore to me? I’ll give four trillion GQC.” The white-haired elder opened his mouth after a moment of hesitation.
“Four trillion!”
The crowd gasped in shock when they heard this number. This was a frightening sum. Ordinary factions probably didn’t have these many assets. Only a universe-stage martial warrior would dare to offer such a huge price.
Even with Wang Teng’s composure, he stopped breathing for a second when he heard the price. He couldn’t remain calm.
“Wang Teng, we’re rich, we’re rich!” Round Ball was even more excited than him. It was screaming with joy in his mind.
An Lan’s eyes were wide open. He was dizzy with happiness. The huge sum of money caused him to be in a daze. Even as a heaven-stage martial warrior, he had never seen such wealth.
“I’m willing to give 4.1 trillion!” The ape martial warrior’s face was twitching when he made this hard decision. He felt his heart aching.
Wang Teng touched his chin. He was moved by this price, but he wanted to keep this Lightning Essence Insect for himself. After all, it wasn’t easy to find one.
The manager of the Ju Cai Rock Gamble seemed to have contacted his superior. He wiped the cold sweat off his head and hurriedly ran over. “Mr. Wang Teng, can you sell this Lightning Essence Insect to the Ju Cai Rock Gamble? We’re willing to pay three trillion GQC and offer you a Black VIP card. You’ll be able to get a 10% discount when you shop at our den in the future.”
