"This reception room looks pretty good!" Zhou Tong casually looked around. There were carved beams and painted rafters everywhere. There was a pot of tea on the table next to him that was emitting a refreshing aroma.
"This is also spirit tea!" Zhou Tong carefully tasted the tea.
At the same time, he wondered if his mask could block the Alkaid Sacred Ground's prying eyes.
"This mask cost a lot to refine and even used the 'Group' secret of the nine words. Without the power of a supreme expert, they wouldn't be able to spy on me without me noticing!" Zhou Tong quietly said in his mind.
Not long after, a voice came from the reception room and interrupted Zhou Tong's tea tasting: "Little Brother wants to sell a scripture?"
Zhou Tong looked up and saw an old cultivator about 1.8 meters tall with white hair coming in. His calm eyes seemed to have seen through everything in this world.
As an appraiser of the Alkaid Sacred Ground, this person had naturally seen countless treasures. He had even seen Immortal Metals, King Medicines, and other items that could drive anyone crazy. This was why he was so calm.
"Yes!" Zhou Tong nonchalantly said.
"This humble servant is Appraiser Sun Jian of the Alkaid Sacred Ground." The old cultivator smiled and asked: "How should I address you, Little Brother?"
"Zhao Hao!" Zhou Tong casually said a name.
Sun Jian said: "Little Brother wants to sell an ancient scripture at our Alkaid Sacred Ground. May I know which scripture it is? I'll make it clear in advance that if it is a scripture from a sacred ground in the Eastern Wilderness, we won't accept it. "
After all, these were the major powers on the surface. If he sold a scripture from a sacred ground here, he would offend these sacred grounds to the extreme.
Even the tyrannical Alkaid Sacred Ground would have to reconsider.
Zhou Tong softly said: "I don't know if it is a scripture from a sacred ground or not. However, I know that this scripture was created by a Great Saint named 'Di Lan'. It is also called the 'Di Lan Scripture'. "
"'Di Lan Scripture'?" Sun Jian pondered for a moment, and after he eliminated all the inheritance scriptures of the various Holy Lands of the Big Dipper and some other possibilities, he instantly understood that this scripture had never appeared before.
He then asked, "How complete is this scripture?"
Zhou Tong continued, "This Imperial Waves Scripture contains the Reincarnation Sea Secret Realm, Dao Palace Secret Realm, Four Extreme Secret Realm, Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, and Immortal Foundation Secret Realm. However, there are no secret arts, only cultivation methods."
"Is it the original copy passed down by that Great Sage?" Sun Jian continued to ask.
Zhou Tong still shook his head. "It's a handwritten copy. There's no original!"
"Without the original, the value of this Ancient Scripture will be greatly reduced!" Sun Jian shook his head.
If it was the original, then it could be confirmed that it was the scripture passed down by the Great Sage. But if it was a handwritten copy, then it might be necessary to guard against someone tampering with this scripture. Naturally, its value would be greatly reduced.
"A complete scripture created by a Great Sage, even if it's just a cultivation method without any secret arts, if it's put up for auction in our Alkaid Treasure Palace, it's enough to sell for thirty to forty million jin of Source Energy. But this handwritten copy of the scripture is probably only worth one-tenth of that." Sun Jian continued.
Of course, one-tenth was impossible. This was just a way to lower the price.
"Of course, if you're willing to sell this scripture directly to our Alkaid Holy Land, I can make the decision to give you ten million jin of Source Energy. Of course, this is after I appraise the authenticity of this Ancient Scripture … "
"Appraise …"
Zhou Tong chuckled. "If I give you the scripture, and you directly memorize it, then say that this scripture is flawed and not worth so much, what should I do?"
The price of ten million jin of Source Energy was relatively reasonable and could be considered a generous price.
In order to sell the Ancient Scripture, Zhou Tong had done some homework.
This scripture created by a Great Sage was actually comparable to the inheritance scriptures of most Holy Lands. Except for the few Holy Lands that had given birth to Great Emperors, the other Holy Lands' scriptures were basically created by a Great Sage. Even the weaker Holy Lands' scriptures were only created by a Sage King or a Sage.
A scripture created by a Great Sage was equivalent to the core cultivation method of a Holy Land. It was very valuable!
If it was the original scripture, it could probably be sold for fifty million jin of Source Energy. But because it was difficult to verify the authenticity of a handwritten copy, the price was greatly reduced. Ten million jin of Source Energy was almost the limit.
"Little Brother, our Alkaid Treasure Palace has stood in the Spirit Lake City for countless years and has a good reputation. We definitely won't do such a thing!" Sun Jian shook his head with a sincere attitude.
"Moreover, our Alkaid Treasure Palace holds the grandest auction every year. The transaction amount of each auction is about a few hundred million jin of Source Energy. How could we covet your ten million jin of Source Energy?"
Sun Jian's words were very pleasant to hear, but Zhou Tong didn't believe a word of it.
The rise of any force was accompanied by blood and fire. The Alkaid Holy Land was not a kind person. He wouldn't place his hopes on the other party's goodwill. Especially the transaction of ten million jin of Source Energy. This amount of money was a relatively large transaction for the Alkaid Holy Land.
Zhou Tong subconsciously activated the Violet Sun Lamp in his body, and a wisp of Holy Aura rippled out.
Instantly, Sun Jian was like a cat whose hair stood on end. His body suddenly shrunk as he raised his head to look at Zhou Tong in fear.
"Legendary Holy Weapon!" Sun Jian was certain that the other party definitely had a Legendary Holy Weapon on him!
"Which Holy Land's Holy Son is he? But if he obtained the Great Sage's ancient scripture, it would be best to hand it over to his own Holy Land! Could it be that some guy hit the jackpot and accidentally found the inheritance of a Great Sage? Could it be that this Holy Weapon was left behind by Great Sage Emperor Billow? "
In an instant, Sun Jian thought of many things.
"How about this, our Alkaid Holy Land can pay you 70% of the deposit. You give the scripture to us, and we will appraise it for you in the shortest time possible. If there is no problem, the remaining 30% will be transferred to you. How about it? "Sun Jian hesitated for a moment and finally asked.
After discovering that the other party had a Legendary Holy Weapon, Sun Jian's attitude suddenly changed.
"That's fine too!" Zhou Tong hesitated for a moment and finally said.
"Please wait a moment!"
After Zhou Tong agreed, Sun Jian immediately left the VIP room. He was going to collect Source Energy. Ten million jin of Source Energy was not something that could be casually taken out.
Zhou Tong also quietly waited here.
He believed that in the Alkaid Palace, especially after confirming that he had a Holy Weapon, the Alkaid Holy Land would definitely not act rashly. Otherwise, the reputation that the Alkaid Palace had accumulated for tens of thousands of years would be destroyed.
For the sake of ten million jin of Source Energy, it was definitely not something a smart person would do.
Moreover, the Alkaid Holy Land did not lack these ten million jin of Source Energy.
One must know that in the original work, after the Northern Plains' Wang Family was destroyed, there was a whole hall full of Divine Sources!
They even had so many Divine Sources, let alone ordinary Source Energy.
The Alkaid Holy Land's foundation was far superior to the Northern Plains' Wang Family, so it definitely did not lack these ten million jin of Source Energy.
Although the original work exaggerated the ten million jin of Source Energy, what was the real situation?
As soon as Jiang Taixu opened his mouth, the Jiang Family brought ten million jin of Source Energy the next day, and the Feng Family casually sent three million jin of Source Energy.
The reason why ten million jin of Source Energy was a lot was relative to some low-level cultivators. For powerful figures, ten million jin of Source Energy was not an amount that they could not bear.
Didn't you see so many aristocratic family's children buying things at the auction for a few million jin of Source Energy?
Even the younger generation had so many resources, how could those Holy Lords and powerful figures not be able to afford ten million jin of Source Energy?
