Chapter 136. To have come about with no effort (4)
No green-colored crystal stones had been cut out from the source stones. However, news had come from the Mercenary Union, and Ling Feng spend two hundred thousand gold coins to buy two pieces of green-colored crystal stones.
He looked at the merely five pieces of green-colored crystal stones in his hand, and he was angry enough to be driven mad. He impatiently paced around in the room.
He had spared no expense and used all the manpower and physical resources, and yet he had barely managed to obtain five pieces… Apothecary Leng had demanded fifty pieces! How could this be enough? It was not enough to even scratch the surface of what was required.
Su Luo saw Ling Feng’s appearance, which seemed as though he was about to fall apart. She squeezed her fist tightly, wanting to walk up to him, but finally had to stop her footsteps.
Passing through the fragments of wasted stone scraps on the ground, she deeply understood the value represented by these crystal stones. Even having a few pieces was comparable to having a mountain of gold and silver.
Yet, by what means could she take out the crystal stones smoothly without making herself look suspicious? This was a difficult problem.
Suddenly, a bulb lighted up in her head.

However, upon closer scrutiny, she could not do it.
