"Three thousand spirit stones? Why don't you get a bigger one?"
Elder Chen almost fainted.
He spent all his money to get so many spiritual stones, but if he really tried to do so, he would almost go bankrupt.
That’s so much for one bet, you’re going crazy!
"Three thousand spirit stones...do you have so much bet?" Seeing his old friend's embarrassment, Elder Lu stepped forward to help him out.
"Of course I didn't!" The fat man shook his head.
"No?" Everyone was speechless for a while.
Speaking so happily, I thought I had control of thousands or tens of thousands of spiritual stones, but I dared to bet without... and said it so confidently? Isn't it too courageous!
Zhao Feiwu on one side also slapped his forehead.
He had seen this fat man's fearless and useless appearance many times, but he didn't expect to directly bet with a four-star treasure appraiser... The key point was that he didn't have any money!
Go ahead, you are so fierce!
"What kind of master there is, there are also what kind of servants..."
I couldn't help but shake my head.
This fat young master, Sun Qiang, is just a guy who is afraid of chaos in the world. He taught Master Sai a lesson in public and was not afraid of being beaten to death. Now this guy looks even more ruthless. I really don’t know where these freaks came from.
"If you don't have money, why bet?" Elder Chen's face was ashen.
"I have no money, but Pavilion Master Sai has only three thousand spirit stones. He will borrow them!" Fatty Sun Qiang smiled slightly.
"..."
The Master of Sai Pavilion, who was watching the excitement from one side, did not expect that the flames of war suddenly ignited on his body, and he almost vomited blood.
He said that he wanted to lend money to Zhang Xuan, but those were polite words to make friends with each other. It was better for the master and the servant to borrow three thousand from each other. This one was borrowing three thousand for a bet... I was polite.
, do you still take it seriously?
Do you want to be so cheating?
"I……"
Just as he was about to explain something, before he could say anything, the fat man in front of him waved his hand: "Even if Master Sai is stingy and no longer cares about the young master's kindness to him, it doesn't matter. Young Master Zhao Feiwu will definitely lend me three thousand souls."
It’s just a stone, so it shouldn’t be anything to the young master!”
"..." Zhao Feiwu.
I am just a soy sauce person, so why is the fire burning on me again...
Pavilion Master Sai’s eyes turned white.
What do you mean by being stingy and not caring about Zhang Xuan's kindness? Didn't I give him a calming grass? I even ignored the nonsense and wasted a hundred spiritual stones and let it enter the flowing water...
Isn’t this called repaying a favor?
When the two were about to interrupt, Sun Qiang waved his hand again: "Look, none of them objected, which means that three thousand spirit stones are nothing to them! Don't worry, as long as you lose, you will definitely be able to get it. The key is you...
...You can’t say that you swear just now, but actually you don’t dare to? You’re a four-star treasure appraiser, and you can’t even come up with such a small amount of money, so you don’t dare to bet, it’s embarrassing..."
"you……"
Unexpectedly, being despised by a servant made Elder Chen look livid and about to explode with anger.
"It's you, my god. If you really don't dare, forget it. However, you have to control your mouth and don't talk nonsense. Our young master is extremely talented. He is just a little slut, and nothing at all!
"
With a snort, Sun Qiang raised his head, full of confidence in Zhang Xuan.
"Okay, I'll bet with you!" Seeing this guy's attitude becoming more and more arrogant, Elder Chen couldn't bear it any longer.
Logically speaking, it is unjustifiable for him, a dignified four-star treasure appraiser, to get angry with a servant, but this fat man went too far.
His tone is frivolous and his attitude is arrogant, especially now, with a look of contempt on his face... It's like he, a four-star treasure appraiser who is respected wherever he goes, is like a shameless beggar.
He can tolerate being despised by a five-star treasure appraiser, a four-star master, and even the master of the pavilion. However, he can't bear to be despised by a servant with only...a very low cultivation level anyway!
"Yes, is there anyone who dares to bet? Don't you all believe that our young master can pass the test? It's still too late to bet, otherwise, there won't be this shop after passing this village..."
Seeing the other party angrily agreeing, Sun Qiang chuckled and looked around, the businessman's profit-oriented face was fully visible.
"..."
Everyone was speechless when they saw that this guy's bet with Elder Chen was not enough, and he actually wanted to bet with everyone.
"Look, the flowing water has started..."
Sun Qiang was persuading loudly to see if he could continue to trick a few people into betting. Then he heard a voice from the crowd. He raised his head and looked at the wall directly in front of him. He saw that the light was getting brighter and brighter, as if there was some kind of formation inside.
Completely driven.
…
Within the formation.
When you walk into the door, it seems that you are not entering a room, but a garden, in which there are clusters of flowers, a faint fragrance, and a stream of water slowly flowing from a distance, knocking on the rocks, making a "ding dong!" sound, like
Play the music.
The stream flows meanderingly, forming an arc in front of it, just enough for people to stand.
When I arrived, a certain formation was activated instantly, and a leaf flowed from the depths of the stream.
There is a strange-shaped object placed on the leaf, with irregular eight sides, making it difficult to tell what it is.
"It seems that this is the treasure to be tested..."
The Eye of Understanding was running, and he found that he couldn't see through it. Zhang Xuan couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
It is indeed a treasure that stumps four-star famous teachers. Even if the Eye of Understanding is better at looking at the items, there is no clue at all.
The so-called "Liu Bei" is actually a kind of wine cup, a name given to literati. They sit by the stream, and their wine cups float along the water. Whoever comes to them will compose poems and drink wine.
The treasure was too heavy to float on water like a wine glass, so it was carried by the leaves of the purple cave tree.
This kind of leaf is very light and floats on the water. It can carry one load and two people have no problem. Therefore, the Liubei Qushui in Jianbao Pavilion is also called Liuye Qushui.
"What the hell is this?"
The leaves haven't arrived yet, so I can only look at the shape and appearance of the treasure in front of me.
It's the size of a watermelon, its whole body is dark purple, and it looks like it's made of some kind of special metal.
After taking another careful look, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but shake his head.
He has never read any books about treasure appraisal, and he doesn't know much about this profession. He can only have a rough idea.
There are so many skilled treasure appraisers who can't figure it out. How can someone like him who has never appraised it understand it?
"never mind!"
No longer thinking about it or looking at it, I casually picked up the paper and pen prepared on one side, waited for the leaves to come to me, and reached out to touch them.
Buzz!
A book comes to mind.
The main reason he dared to venture into Liushang Qushui was because he had the Tiandao Library as his support. Otherwise, with his meager treasure appraisal skills, he would definitely not be able to recognize even half of the treasures, let alone one.
Open the book, pick up the brush and write on the paper.
"The Bronze Hammer was an item owned by the five-star weapon refiner Duanmu Yiguang three thousand years ago. He collected purple gold, iron, Bai Zhan Silver, Qingchen Sand... a total of thirteen rare ores, and it was forged for seventy-seven and forty-nine days..."
…
Zhang Xuan was writing furiously inside, while everyone outside was looking at the wall with nervous expressions on their faces.
Sun Qiang went around looking for people to bet, but no one paid any attention to him. Everyone wanted to see if this young man, who was less than twenty years old, could identify a treasure and pass the test smoothly.
"Look at the time, the first treasure should have arrived. Do you think he can succeed?" A treasure appraiser in the crowd couldn't help but ask.
"Succeeded? Are you kidding me? The Master of the Liushang Qushui Competition has been through it several times, and he didn't recognize anything. This shows how difficult it is. How could he, a little person, succeed?"
"Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about the arrogance of that servant. How can a real treasure appraiser be so arrogant?"
"It's hard to say, but I bet it shows that I have confidence..."
…
Everyone lowered their voices and talked a lot.
The youngest treasure appraisers present were all around thirty years old. They couldn't accept that a person under twenty would have to go to Liushangqushui.
"Don't worry, if the treasures in the flowing water can be identified so easily, they won't be regarded as the assessment standard for five-star treasure appraisers!"
Seeing Elder Chen looking nervously at the wall, Elder Lu came over and comforted him.
He is also not optimistic about Zhang Xuan.
He has also passed through the flowing water, and the treasures that appeared in it are difficult to identify. The time he can see is too little. At most, it flows past him in ten breaths. In such a short time, he can identify something he has never seen before.
Baby, how can it be successful?
"Worry, what's there to worry about? He's just an ignorant guy. He doesn't even know whether a treasure appraiser is there, yet he dares to speak so brazenly..."
Elder Chen snorted and was about to continue talking when suddenly his whole body was shaken and a bell rang.
Boom!
The sound penetrated the wall and sounded like it was deep in the soul.
"Bell? Didn't it pass?"
"That's not right. Only after all the treasures have been appraised will they be uniformly assessed. The bell will ring, indicating that they have not passed. Now based on time, he can only read the first treasure at most. Even if the bell rings, it is still not time!"
Everyone was stunned and at a loss.
The flowing water and the ringing of the bell mean that you failed to break through the level and not a single treasure was recognized.
But now that Zhang Xuan has just entered, he should only see one treasure, so why is it over?
"It is said that if the first treasure is not identified and no writing is left, it will be automatically judged as unable to answer and will be directly judged as failure!"
"Is there still such a thing?"
"Yes, it has happened before. I have read books about it!"
Someone in the crowd shouted something, and everyone looked strange.
For those who break through the level, even if they can't confirm what the first treasure is, they can at least make a rough guess and write down a range. It would be really embarrassing if they failed without writing anything!
Wow!
Everyone looked at Sun Qiang on one side, their eyes full of sympathy.
Needless to say, this guy lost miserably this time.
Bang!
Before it was over, I heard the sound of the teacup falling to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, I saw Pavilion Master Sai's whole body shaking and his face turning pale.
"This is not...a bell, but...the spiritual agitation of the treasure. In other words, he not only identified it, but also got the spiritual approval of the treasure!"
