Chapter 455 The exact news of the soulless golden man
Dead leaf tea, also called Kurong tea, is the biggest specialty of Hongxu Marsh in the Alliance of Nations.
Tea grows in swamps. It is alive only for one month of the year. The rest of the time it is just like a dead tree.
The leaves are as new and the branches are as dead. They die once in life and flourish once withered, hence the name.
After this kind of tea is fried and brewed into water, it can give people the feeling of experiencing the four seasons and is extremely refreshing. It is one of the most famous teas in the entire League of Nations.
However, the Hongxu Swamp is very dangerous. Even those who are strong in the Mortal Realm are very likely to be unable to come out if they are swallowed up. In addition, the tea leaves are only available for a month, and the output is very low. Not many people can actually taste it.
"Yes, this place is rich in dead leaf tea, and... dead leaf snakes!" Zhang Xuan said.
"Um!"
Everyone nodded.
The dead leaf snake is a kind of spiritual beast that feeds exclusively on dead leaf tea leaves. Its body contains extremely poisonous substances, and even a third-level mortal warrior will die easily if bitten by it.
"Could it... be the venom of the dead leaf snake? No, although the dead leaf snake is highly venomous, its venom is full of smell and has special snake saliva, which can be seen by people at a glance. This emerald bamboo
The top is as smooth as new, without any marks..."
The old man couldn't help but speak.
The dead leaf snake is very scary. Those who are strong in the Mortal Realm must be careful. If its snake saliva is left, they should be able to distinguish it.
"It's not snake saliva, but... this emerald bamboo is the nest where dead leaf snakes live. In other words, the bamboo pole looks smooth and neat, but there are dead leaf snakes crawling around every day."
Zhang Xuan looked solemn.
"ah……"
When he heard this, the boy holding the book turned pale with fright and almost fell down.
I have been taking care of this bamboo these days, wiping it from time to time. When I think about the snakes often entangled on it, I suddenly feel panicked and full of nausea.
"In this way, the excrement left by the dead leaf snake will stick to the emerald bamboo, and will be absorbed by the vegetation over the years and enter the deep veins of the leaves!"
Ignoring everyone's discomfort, Zhang Xuan continued: "These things are usually not exposed, or even invisible at all, and have no impact on people, but once they come into contact with open flames and heat, they will be revealed, making those who come into contact with them.
Life will suffer a big loss!"
"If you only use bamboo as the base of the formation, it will have little effect and you can continue to use it. You can refine the elixir, but it will not work. If the toxin is exposed, even if you are swallowed by mistake, even if you become a third-level mortal, you will die on the spot, and it is difficult for gods to save you.
!That’s why there is such a saying as ‘If you want to refine the Jade Exquisite Pill, just say you bought a fake’!”
Zhang Xuan explained.
"I see!"
Only then did everyone understand and looked at the young man again, full of admiration.
To be able to see the hidden toxicity in this emerald bamboo at a glance requires a deep understanding of the plant's properties, living location and origin!
"sharp!"
The old man also clenched his fists.
Not to mention anything else, this vision alone makes him ashamed.
"Young Master is a great talent. It has opened Sai's eyes. Since you have a special liking for [Another Herb], I will give it to you as a thank you gift!"
The old man waved his big hand and said.
"teacher……"
Liu Chang was stunned.
Just now, this guy asked for 500 gold coins to buy Anshen Grass. He thought there was something wrong with the other person's brain. Now he realized that he had already guessed this scene and guessed that the teacher would give this thing away.
This is something I just bought for 500 spirit stones. Is it too generous to give it away...?
Even if you point out that the jade bamboo is fake, you won't be so generous.
"Is it...this is impossible! How can you even see this?"
Suddenly, I remembered something, and my whole body became stiff and trembling.
He knew why the teacher was so generous.
A treasure appraiser only has three chances to make mistakes in his life. If he makes more than three mistakes, he will be disqualified and fall into the mortal world.
The teacher has appraised countless treasures, and the rule of three times has been achieved. If you make another mistake, you will encounter this situation!
In other words, if the other party does not stop him and allows him to take this emerald bamboo to find someone to make medicine, it is foreseeable that even if he is not poisoned, he will lose his qualifications as a treasure appraiser.
I have been in high positions over the years and have offended and had grudges with countless people. If I really lost my identity, I would most likely be hunted down. In other words... the other party would have saved the teacher's life, not to mention the 500 spiritual stones he purchased.
No matter how valuable the Anshen Grass is, you are still willing to pay for it.
But... the teacher broke the rule three times, and it was only circulated among the treasure appraisers. No one knew about it except close people. How did this guy know? And he was so sure that he would give this thing away out of gratitude?
Combined with the previous experience of shopping on the first floor...
Is it possible that this guy looks young, but is actually an expert at appraising treasures?
Guessing in his mind, he hurriedly looked at the young man not far away to see if it was as expected. He saw the young man looked upright: "Zhang really doesn't dare to accept such an expensive gift as a direct gift. Sun Qiang, give it to me."
This senior gives you 500 gold coins, let’s buy the things, we can’t let senior suffer a loss!”
"puff!"
Just now he thought he was an expert, but when he heard this, his body shook and Liu Chang almost vomited blood.
Your sister!
"Don't take it seriously, don't let your seniors suffer"... He said it so confidently, why is it so shameless?
What's the difference between 500 gold coins and no money?
Is this really what a master should do?
He hurriedly looked at the teacher, and saw that he was shaking, as if there was a mouthful of blood in his chest, and his whole face was livid with depression: "Young Master, I am sincerely grateful, the money... is not necessary!"
"Senior, there is no need to be polite to me!" The young man insisted: "500 gold coins... I can still afford it!"
"..." Liu Chang.
With this small amount of money, it would be worth so much to just pick up a piece of garbage from any battlefield. Of course I can afford it...
Knowing that if he continued to pester him, he would definitely die of depression, the old man had no choice but to accept the gold coin, put it into the storage ring, and said: "I see that this young master knows a lot about the treasure appraisal industry. I wonder...who is his teacher? Could it be that he is also the same person?"
A treasure appraiser?"
Liu Chang also hurriedly pricked up his ears.
Seeing a problem that even his teacher couldn't see at a glance, this person has reached an unfathomable level in treasure appraisal.
He also wanted to know who it was that could train such a young treasure appraiser.
"Our young master is the famous teacher Zhang Xuan, and his teacher is the famous teacher Yang Xuan." Sun Qiang took a step forward and introduced with pride.
"Famous teacher?"
The old man's face straightened up, and then he realized what he was doing and was in awe.
Liu Chang was even more shocked.
He had strong opinions about this person before. If he had known about his identity, he would never have dared to do so.
Although treasure appraisers make a lot of money, they are still very different from famous teachers.
Just like the difference between a lottery-winning nouveau riche and a government official, no matter how rich you are, it is nothing in front of this first career.
What's more, the level of treasure appraisal of the famous teacher in front of him is not only higher than that of the teacher, let alone him.
"It turns out he is a famous teacher. No wonder he has such discernment. But I am disrespectful. I was so negligent just now. Please forgive me!"
After recovering, the old man clasped his fists: "How old is Sai Xiaoyu? From now on, you can just call me Brother Sai. I really don't dare to be called senior!"
The other party's level of treasure appraisal was not inferior to his and he was a famous teacher. This old man immediately felt like making friends.
"Sai Xiaoyu? Could it be... the master of Sai Pavilion of Jianbao Pavilion?"
Hearing this name, Zhang Xuan didn't feel anything. Zhao Feiwu was stunned and couldn't help but speak.
As a princess of the Alliance of Nations, she has loved reading since she was a child, so she still knows a little about the strongest members of many guilds in the territory.
It is said that the master of the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion is named Sai Xiaoyu. He is a four-star peak treasure appraiser who has appraised countless treasures in his life. Even the alliance leader's palace has specially invited him as an honored guest.
I thought that this kind of person was so unpredictable that I would never see him. I never expected that Zhang Xuan had just given him a lesson, and he had also cheated on him with a calming herb...
"The position of Pavilion Master is just favored by many old friends, not worth mentioning!" Seeing that he was recognized, Sai Xiaoyu smiled and shook his head.
"It turns out it's the Pavilion Master, that's great."
Understanding the identity of the other party, Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but speak: "I heard... Honghai City got a soulless golden man. I wonder if the news is true and where is this thing?"
This is what I came to Honghai City for.
Since this person is the master of Jianbao Pavilion, if the news is true, he must know it.
"Soulless Golden Man? It turns out that Brother Zhang is here for this!"
Master Sai Pavilion understood and smiled: "There is indeed this thing, and it is in Jianbao Pavilion. It will be auctioned tonight."
"tonight?"
Zhang Xuan clenched his fists and then looked embarrassed.
It was already afternoon when they arrived at Honghai City, and after struggling for so long, it was almost dark. If the auction was held tonight, wouldn't it mean that the auction was about to start?
He didn't even have a single spiritual stone on him.
If you want to participate in an auction without money, you may not even be able to get in, and you will be kicked out directly.
You must know that some large-scale auction houses must first conduct capital verification before entering. Otherwise, anyone can enter. If the price is deliberately raised and lowered, the market will be chaotic.
"Yes, in just one hour, if Brother Zhang is interested in this, I can reserve a private room for you!"
Sai Xiaoyu said.
"Thank you so much, Brother Sai!"
Nodding gratefully, Zhang Xuan then asked: "What is the approximate price of this soulless golden man? If you really want to buy it, how many spiritual stones will it cost?"
Find out more first so you can prepare in advance.
"The soulless golden man is something left by the soul master. The specific price is hard to say. The estimate given by our Treasure Appraisal Pavilion is 1,500 spirit stones. However, if it is sold at the auction house, it will be doubled no matter what. I am afraid that 3,000 spirit stones will be needed.
It takes a stone to get it!"
After explaining, Sai Xiaoyu looked over with a smile: "Why, Brother Zhang wants to take action?"
"It's a bit interesting, but... I don't have enough money..."
Zhang Xuan scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Not enough?" Sai Xiaoyu laughed: "It doesn't matter, I have some savings, brother, I can lend you some to make up for it. I don't know how much I still lack? Just ask."
"Borrow some? That would be great!"
Zhang Xuan's face was full of gratitude: "I still lack 3,000 spirit stones, can you... borrow them?"
"..." Sai Xiaoyu.
"..." Liu Chang.
"..." Everyone.
