Even though he was wealthy, it didn't come from nowhere.
Naturally, he wouldn't be foolish enough to buy it for five hundred spirit stones and sell it for five hundred gold coins.
Was there something wrong with this lad's head, or was there something wrong with his head? Otherwise, why would he say such foolish words?
Turning around, Zhang Xuan saw the young man not too far away nodding with a smile, "Not bad!"
"Are you done? Do you know what kind of person my teacher is? How dare you spout nonsense here? "
Seeing how the other party was getting more and more overboard, even daring to provoke his teacher, Appraiser Liu Chang couldn't hold himself back any longer and stepped forward.
"Who are you? Your sharp eyes allow you to find the crux of an artifact with just a glance. If I'm not mistaken... you should be an appraiser, right? "
Zhang Xuan shot a glance at Appraiser Liu Chang.
"It's good that you know. My teacher is..."
Liu Chang was just about to introduce himself when the elder interrupted, "Alright, since you know that I'm an appraiser, you should know that I don't lack money, and I won't sell what I've bought!"
He could tell that there was something wrong with this fellow's head. He couldn't be bothered to continue bickering with him, so he looked at the manservant in front of him and said, "Keep all of these things for me. Also, bring the few items that I asked for earlier over to my residence!"
"Yes!" The attendant nodded.
Right after those words were spoken, several medicinal herbs and a few artifacts were brought over.
Zhao Ya and the others glanced over, and they couldn't help but click their tongues in astonishment.
Even though there weren't many of them, every single one of them was exceptionally valuable, and each of them was worth at least three hundred spirit stones.
Adding all of them together, the total value of these items probably exceeded two thousand spirit stones. To be able to take out so many items without batting an eyelid, this elder's wealth was truly astounding.
Facing such a figure, their teacher actually wanted to buy something that cost five hundred spirit stones for five hundred gold coins...
Wasn't this a little too much?
Perplexed, they turned to look at their teacher, wondering what he would do. However, the young man placed his hands behind his back and shook his head in pity.
"Sigh, I thought that an appraiser would be more knowledgeable when buying items. To think that he would spend such a huge sum to buy a fake. His taste... is truly incomprehensible!"
There was a hint of disappointment in his voice, as though he was exasperated.
"Fake? Do you know who my teacher is? How dare you spout such nonsense here... "
Since his teacher had spared him, Liu Chang had thought that this fellow would back down. Who would have thought that he would actually say such words? Liu Chang's face darkened, as though he was about to explode.
Was there no end to it?
It is one thing that Teacher did not hold it against you, but you actually dare to say that you are buying fake goods. Are you courting death?
"Sigh!" Zhang Xuan paid no heed to the rebuke at all. Sighing deeply, he shook his head and said, "It's one thing for you to be blind, but you still refuse to admit it …"
"Most importantly, he even called himself a big shot. How embarrassing. Forget it. Since you don't want to listen to my advice and want to buy fake things, I won't meddle in your affairs. Let's go! "
After saying that, he waved his hand and left with Zhao Ya and the others.
"Wait, who are you calling a fake? If you don't make things clear, don't even think of leaving... "Seeing how the other party was hesitating to speak, Liu Chang couldn't hold himself back any longer and stepped forward to block the other party's path.
At the same time, a powerful zhenqi burst forth from his body. He was actually a Transcendent Mortal 1-dan Prolonged Longevity realm expert!
As a cultivator with a master teacher and a member of the League of Nations, he was naturally much stronger than Ding Hong, who had achieved a breakthrough on his own.
If he were to make a move, even though Zhang Xuan had improved significantly recently, it was unlikely that he would be a match for him.
However, Zhang Xuan paid no heed to the other party's aura. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Why? You can't find the real thing because your eyesight is bad, and you still don't want me to say anything? Are you trying to embarrass us by reminding us out of goodwill? "
Zhang Xuan had seen plenty of such situations. If he didn't have the confidence, what was the point of putting on an act?
"Blind? Do you know who my teacher is? Do you know how many people in Honghai City are begging my teacher to take a look at their goods... "
Liu Chang's face paled in anger. Just as he was about to continue speaking, the elder walked over slowly.
"Enough!"
Waving his hands, the elder turned to Zhang Xuan and said, "You said that I bought fake goods. May I know which one is fake? Do you have any proof? "
Even though it was just an ordinary question, his words were filled with confidence. It felt as though he would be taught a lesson if he were to say anything wrong.
"Proof? Do you really want to know? "
Zhang Xuan smiled.
"If your words are logical and prove that I have indeed made a mistake, I will admit to it! However, if you are spouting nonsense to please the crowd, I don't mind it. However, I fear that... Liu Chang won't agree to it! "
The elder's tone was authoritative.
If he were to say that the other party was blind, even if he didn't make a move, as his student, Liu Chang, wouldn't let the other party off.
"This fellow sure is a pain in the ass..."
Taking in all of this, Zhao Feiwu rolled her eyes.
In her view, if one wanted to buy the Spirit Calming Grass, all he had to do was to fork out money. To go against such a powerful figure was the most foolish thing to do.
He sure was a troublemaker. Wherever he went, he would cause a ruckus. Couldn't he just be a little more obedient?
Wouldn't it be much easier to settle this with money?
If Zhang Xuan were to know of his thoughts, he would surely burst into tears.
You are the daughter of the alliance head, a princess. You don't lack money at all. If you have money, why would you put yourself in danger of being beaten to death to act cool...
...
"Trying to please the crowd? You are thinking too much! "
Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan stepped forward and looked at the pile of items that the elder had just bought. "You bought this Verdant Bamboo just now, right?"
"That's right. My teacher spent three hundred spirit stones to buy this Verdant Bamboo, and there is only one of it in the entire Honghai City!" Liu Chang nodded his head and sneered coldly. "Why? Do you think that there is something wrong with it?"
The item was right before him, and there was a price tag on it as well. There was nothing wrong with it.
Besides, he didn't think that there was anything wrong with it. Not only did his teacher appraise it personally, he had also examined it carefully, and there was nothing wrong with it.
"May I know what the effects of the Verdant Bamboo are? What are you going to use it for? "
Paying no heed to the other party's words, Zhang Xuan circled around the bamboo and touched it lightly. As if confirming something, he asked with a smile.
"The Verdant Bamboo is a unique spirit herb. Its leaves can be used as medicine, and it is the main ingredient for forging [Verdant Crystalline Pill]. This pill can induce the development of a Heart of Crystalline in one's body and remove inner demons, thus calming one's mind. It is extremely beneficial to Transcendent Mortal 3-dan and Yin-Yang realm experts.
"As for... its stem, it is extremely tough. It can be used to forge [Verdant Bow and Invulnerable Arrows]. The Verdant Bow is a Spirit low-tier weapon, and when paired with Invulnerable Arrows, it can pierce through one's body swiftly. Due to its incredible speed, it doesn't even leave a wound on one's body. It is one of the weapons that many Transcendent Mortal experts are willing to pay a huge price for.
"Of course, there's another effect as well. It can be used as the foundation of a formation. However, this effect is much weaker than the other two!"
Stroking his beard, the elder spoke impassively.
His words were calm and confident, reflecting his vast knowledge and experience.
Others knew that the Verdant Bamboo was valuable, but they didn't know its uses. As an appraiser, he only knew a thing or two about it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent three hundred spirit stones on it.
"Not bad. Most people only know that the leaves of the Verdant Bamboo can be used to forge pills. They know very little about forging bows and formations. It's already not bad for you to know this!"
After complimenting the elder, Zhang Xuan's lips curled up. "Since it has such an effect, may I know if you are going to use it to forge a formation, a bow, or a pill?"
To forge a pill, one needed not only the leaves, but the stem also had to be used as the fuel. Only by burning the beanstalk would one be able to bring out the best effects.
On the other hand, to forge a bow, one had to nourish it with a unique medicinal herb when it was fresh to make it more resilient. However, by doing so, the leaves would be mixed with other materials, rendering them unusable.
As for forging a formation, it had to be inscribed with formation marks and forged anew. Similarly, the leaves would be affected as well, rendering them unusable.
Even though there were three uses for the Verdant Bamboo, one could only choose one for each bamboo. Otherwise, it would be a complete waste.
"Of course, it's for pill forging! Even though the other effects aren't weak, they pale in comparison to the Verdant Bamboo! "
The elder frowned. He had no idea what Zhang Xuan meant by those words, but he still explained patiently.
The Verdant Crystalline Pill was something that even Transcendent Mortal 3-dan experts could concoct. Every single one of them could be sold for an astronomical sum, far surpassing the value of the Verdant Bamboo.
If he wanted to earn back the cost of the 300 spirit stones Verdant Bamboo, he would have to use it to its fullest potential. The other effects were only supplementary.
"Since you want to forge the Verdant Crystalline Pill, I'll say that you bought a fake!"
After getting to the bottom of what he wanted to know, Zhang Xuan said.
"Fake? The Verdant Bamboo has a verdant body reminiscent of jade, and there are large gaps between its leaves, making it impervious to sabers. On every branch, there are three leaves, and each leaf has seven veins, no more, no less... "
Before the elder could reply, Liu Chang quickly explained the identification method of the Verdant Bamboo. There were dozens of rules and regulations, and every single one of them was exactly the same as the bamboo in his hand. "This is the identification method of the Verdant Bamboo. Even without teacher's confirmation, I know that this is definitely the real deal. Yet, you say that it's fake? Fine, if this isn't the real deal, what is it? "
"These are indeed the identification method for Verdant Bamboo!" Zhang Xuan nodded with a smile.
"Ah? If you know it, then why do you say that it's fake? "Liu Chang was taken aback.
"You memorized it well, and the identification method is correct as well. This is indeed a Verdant Bamboo!" Zhang Xuan chuckled lightly.
"This is what the predecessors are certain of, you dare to deny it... Hmm? What did you say... Then why did you say that it's fake... "
"Are you messing with us?"
Everyone thought that he would deny it, but who would have thought that he would directly admit that it was a Verdant Bamboo?
Even Zhao Feiwu and Jin Conghai raised their eyebrows.
Just a moment ago, he spoke so confidently and confidently. If this thing really was a Verdant Bamboo, then what the hell was he messing with?
To say that the other party bought a fake, but in the end, he admitted that it was the real deal... Even if he had schizophrenia, he didn't have to go so far!
