Chapter 704 Treasure Appraisal
"Senior, I'm really sorry. I can't do anything for you."
"In this way, senior will take this jade slip and go to the Artifact Building to find a person named 'Instructor'. He will definitely arrange everything for senior."
in this way.
Lu Jing stood at the door of Baibao Pavilion holding a jade slip and looked back.
He really didn't know how to explain it. After inviting the master out, the person who had just been patting his chest to make sure of it just now admitted that he had poor eyesight after looking left and right.
Utensil Building.
The instructor was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, with a sallow complexion, like a sick tiger.
However, his aura of cleverness showed that he was a real Jin Dan master. When he saw Lu Jing, his sallow face cupped his hands and said, "Senior, since he was introduced by an acquaintance, you might as well explain your intention."
"I want to identify a treasure."
"Three hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones. If we cannot satisfy the seniors, we will not take any of them." The instructor held out three fingers.
Lu Jing narrowed his eyes slightly. He had just walked such a long distance from Baibao Pavilion, and the price had increased from 100,000 to 300,000. Could these people have taken him as a scapegoat? 300,000 yuan for a low-grade spiritual stone was not a good thing. As a decimal, eight low-grade spiritual stones are enough for a family of three to live in Tianji City for a month.
"Scar Chen's master is the ninety-seventh in the Wanbao Conference. Of course, this ranking is definitely powerful, because there are 60,000 monks participating in the conference, and the master who sits in my utensil building is ranked Sixty-three, even though it is only an improvement of thirty or so, it is already a world of difference."
The instructor continued: "Senior, if you don't trust us, you can also seek appraisal from the Ancient Immortal Tower or the appraisal shop opened by the Daqi Sect. However, most appraisals there have to wait for a long time. Ten days and a half is considered short, and it may even take It takes a year and a half to get my turn.”
"With us, it takes at most three days to give seniors the results."
Lu Jing said: "How can I trust you?"
"Senior, this must be your first time here."
"In Tianji City, there are superiors who supervise the shops. We only need to sign a contract in two copies and take pictures of the treasures. Even if there is a problem, there will be arbitration from the superiors and our seniors will not suffer any loss."
"Senior's treasures must be extremely precious, but although the shop is small, it will not gamble with its reputation."
"Senior, if you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do for you."
"good."
…
So Lu Jing stayed in the utensil building and waited for the appraisal results.
It is said that the results will be available in two or three days.
In the past two days, he had been meditating and practicing in the side room, but the loss of mana seemed to be too much.
Finally, on the third day, when he was about to go out, he found something on his left hand.
He raised his hand and took a look, and was immediately shocked. The ring with the round eyes was on his hand exactly, and he didn't even know how to get it back.
Lu Jing's expression changed, and he immediately rushed out of the wing, grabbed the boy beside him and asked, "Where is the instructor of your utensil building?"
"Meeting guests."
"take me."
…
"Fellow Taoist are you looking for me?"
Sitting not far away in the hall was a middle-aged man who looked like a scribe. He had a plump complexion and seemed to be in no pain. He was looking at Lu Jing and said with a smile, "What do you want from me, fellow Taoist?"
"Are you the instructor?"
"certainly."
"But the man who received me was clearly a monk with a sallow complexion."
"There is no such person in the Utensil Building."
The instructor recalled it carefully, then shook his head and said: "It seems that fellow Taoist has been deceived. If something valuable is lost, you should carefully imagine what clues are available, maybe you can find it back."
Lu Jing stood up in a hurry, took out a contract scroll with a gloomy face and said, "Is this really not something issued by your artifact house?"
"No, if it is the contract scroll in the Utensil Building, this should be a magic circle like this."
As he spoke, the instructor took out a completely different scroll from his arms, spread it out on the table, and then compared it and said, "But this scroll is indeed very real."
Lu Jing said without saying anything, "I was indeed deceived. This matter will not end so simply."
After speaking, he walked out of the hall and the door of the artifact building.
He went straight to Baibao Pavilion without any hesitation. When he was looking for Scar Chen, he found that Scar Chen was also missing, and the appraiser was also missing with him.
Baibao Pavilion is indeed still there, but the owner is not called Dao Scar Chen at all.
That appraiser was not the 97th in the Wanbao Conference.
The shopkeeper told him that if he wanted to hire such a powerful appraiser, he would have to go to a big chamber of commerce. How could someone condescend to come to a small place like theirs.
"Mr. Wu, haven't you been to Tianji City before?"
"Who knew that something like this would happen after so many years? Three hundred years have passed since my lifetime." Mr. Wu in the cloak also looked helpless.
Just because I didn't want to go through formal channels, I looked for a broker on the black market. Who would have thought that even the broker was a liar, and he set up a series of traps for them.
"good."
"The local gangs are so unruly!" Lu Jing gritted his teeth.
They were one big and one small, and they were defrauded of 300,000 spiritual stones within a few days of entering the city.
That is to say, the treasure is back by itself, otherwise I am afraid that even the Dao soldiers' treasures will be gone. In such a big Tianji City, trying to find those people is like looking for a needle in a haystack, there is no way.
"Niang Xipi, aren't we pretending to be the Nascent Soul Lord?"
"You even lied to the True Lord?"
Seeing how indignant Lu Jing was, Tu Shanjun guessed what they were talking about even if he didn't understand.
Although Lu Jing disguised himself very well, he still revealed that it was his first time in Tianji City. With this screening, he was identified as a target. What's more, the Tianji City's great formation is covering it, and its spiritual consciousness, Dharma eyes, and coercion cannot be released outside.
Without the help of these auxiliary means, the monks are greatly weakened and naturally easily deceived.
It can only be said that there are specialties in the art industry.
…
Touching the ring on his left hand, Lu Jing said in a deep voice: "This treasure doesn't seem to be as simple as a Taoist soldier. It can actually come back on its own, and the Yin Shen and evil spirit that swallowed the man last time have been restored a little, right? As long as there is enough Yin Shen evil energy, you can completely recover."
"you mean?"
"Three hundred thousand should be regarded as tuition fees."
"I plan to collect Yin Shen's evil energy to help the treasure recover."
Mr. Wu in the cloak said: "It's actually good to suffer a loss early. If we suffer a loss again after we take out my inheritance, we will regret it later."
Three hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones may seem huge, but in fact it is only three thousand high-grade spiritual stones. In that storage ring, it is just a drop in the bucket and not worth mentioning.
"heritage?"
Lu Jing suddenly became interested and asked, "Can Tianji City still store things?"
"In Tianji Pavilion, three things are needed to open the locker of Tianji Pavilion, tokens, keys, and spiritual consciousness. These three things are indispensable."
Mr. Wu continued: "I placed the key in the Ancient Immortal Tower, and the token is in the hands of a friend of mine."
"Is he...trustworthy?"
Lu Jing frowned and thought. Having just experienced a scam, he really had doubts about the trust between people.
Moreover, Mr. Wu has been dead for so many years. Will that person still help keep the token? Maybe he will apply to Tianji City to take away the contents.
Mr. Wu said firmly: "I can believe it."
…
Lu Jing found an inn to stay at, and first bought a magazine of Tianji City and jade slips of the language of Nanming Fire Land to start studying.
His accent from the east was out of place in Tianji City, and he could easily be recognized as coming from outside. Generally, outsiders would always be treated differently.
Therefore, Lu Jing bought many things in Fangshi.
Tu Shanjun looked at the spread out jade slip and almost ran over to pick it up.
It is true that there is no place to look for after wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.
Just to put it bluntly, how could Lu Jing understand every dialect? He didn't just have to learn as the locals do.
It just so happens that he also needs to learn.
At least learn the official dialect of the Daqi Sect first, not just to communicate with them, but to understand what they are saying first.
Lu Jing took out the evil spirit jar he bought with spirit stones. The turbid evil energy was compressed into one jar. In fact, when released, it could cover hundreds of miles. This thing is not valuable, and the dirty evil energy cannot be absorbed as spiritual energy. Its only function is to warm and nourish ghost treasures.
In the past few days, I have been learning the Mandarin of the Daqi Sect while instilling evil spirits.
It was quite effective, but compared to the entire Taoist army, it was a drop in the bucket. The evil energy he bought was simply not enough to repair the treasure, unless he found a very large evil energy, such as in ancient battlefields and other places.
Or you can find Guxianlou to buy a place with this goal.
"It won't work, it won't work, the evil spirit is not enough."
Tu Shanjun shook his head.
Just like this, the Soul Flag cannot be restored at all. There must be a place like the ruins of the Ghost Sea. If you are in a place like that, it won't take long for the Soul Flag to be repaired.
The evil spirit jars collected by this kind of monks, poured one jar after another, are not as good as the Yinhun Dan condensed by the soul flag.
Lu Jing is also troubled by this problem.
Although the current treasure is powerful enough, there is a monk who doesn't want to complete it when this kind of treasure is placed in front of him.
He threw the jade slip on the table casually, but saw the ring on his hand running down, and a hand grew out to catch the jade slip steadily.
"Grown hands?!"
Lu Jing rubbed his eyes.
He wished he was dazzled.
But obviously not. The last time he saw Dao Bing open his eyes, he was not surprised that he now had a small skeleton hand. Otherwise, how could Dao Bing escape from the hands of those liars?
He should wonder if Tao Bing had grown legs long ago.
…
"What?"
"The treasure is missing?"
"Can I still have long legs and run?"
The sallow-faced monk rummaged through the box in front of him, and even though he shook his head, he couldn't find the ring.
His eyes gradually fell on the companion who was the first to pick up the box.
He said seriously: "The boss will think that we have stolen the treasure. If you take it, take it out now. I will pretend that I don't know what to do. If you don't take it out, then..."
The companion on the side said sadly: "Brother Tiger, I really didn't take it!"
"The boss is here."
