Chapter 19 Selling Magic Treasures

“Sir, please come this way. If you are looking for a birthday gift, we have a thousand-year blood spirit ginseng here, which is quite suitable.”

The young woman led Xiao Fan and the other person to the counter specializing in selling Spirit Medicine, and told the shopkeeper in charge of Spirit Medicine that they wanted to see the blood spirit ginseng.

The shopkeeper then took out a bright red spiritual ginseng from the counter. A faint bloody smell emanated from the blood ginseng. He introduced it, saying, “This thousand-year blood spirit ginseng has the effect of supplementing Qi and benefiting blood. After consuming it, it can prolong life, enhance Qi and blood, and is very effective for older people.”

Dragon Miaoyin, standing nearby, was very satisfied. This kind of blood spirit ginseng was presentable and especially suitable for giving to her father.

Xiao Fan thought this blood spirit ginseng was good, so he asked, “How much does this blood spirit ginseng cost?”

“The blood spirit ginseng that is a few hundred years old is cheaper, but this one is already a thousand years old, so it is quite expensive. The price is three hundred Spirit Stones,” the shopkeeper said with a smile.

“Three hundred Spirit Stones!”

Hearing this, Dragon Miaoyin gasped sharply. The Spirit Stones she had accumulated over the years amounted to only thirty-odd pieces; even if she spent them all, it would only be enough to buy a few ginseng whiskers.

As for Xiao Fan, he frowned slightly. He was not short of Spirit Stones, but those were all inside the Star Chart and could not be taken out.

Seeing that Dragon Miaoyin liked it, Xiao Fan sighed, thought for a moment, and then looked at the young woman and asked, “Do you purchase Magical Artifacts here?”

“Magical Artifacts?” The young woman was startled, then smiled, “Of course we purchase them. Our Treasure Pavilion has Great Masters specializing in evaluating Magical Artifacts, ensuring that the most reasonable price can be offered for every Magical Artifact, and the identity of the seller is kept absolutely confidential and will not be known by anyone.”

Xiao Fan nodded, “Alright then, I have a Magical Artifact I'd like to have appraised.”

Xiao Fan thought of the lin horn knife he had seized from Chu River when he killed him.

This knife was too sensitive; the Dragon Family could not know about it, or many things would be inexplicable. It would be better to sell it here.

Although doing so carried the risk of exposure, Xiao Fan still wanted to do it for Dragon Miaoyin.

After all, he owed her too much.

Xiao Fan and Dragon Miaoyin were led to an Inner Chamber on the second floor, where an old man with a full head of white hair was present.

“This is Great Master Lu of our Treasure Pavilion. He specializes in appraising various treasures, Magical Artifacts, Spirit Medicines...” The young woman gave a brief introduction of Great Master Lu.

This Great Master Lu was very arrogant. After Xiao Fan and Dragon Miaoyin entered, he merely glanced at them indifferently and said nothing.

Xiao Fan nodded, wasting no words. He took the lin horn knife from his robe and placed it on the table in front of Great Master Lu.

Great Master Lu was stunned... then excitedly picked up the lin horn knife and examined it carefully from top to bottom.

“Good knife... A truly good knife! The blade is sharp, and the Evil Qi contained within is dense... Its rank is Profound Rank Low Grade.”

Great Master Lu looked completely different from moments ago, having lost his initial arrogance. As he handled the lin horn knife, he was fondling it like a single brute staring at a young wife, unable to put it down.

The young woman was slightly embarrassed and explained with a smile, “Great Master Lu is a famous Appraiser. He has a quirk: whenever he sees a rare treasure, he gets like this, unable to put it down. Please don't mind it.”

Xiao Fan nodded, saying nothing. It was normal for people like this to have their quirks.

However, Dragon Miaoyin was stunned... She naturally knew that the lin horn knife was with Xiao Fan. This was one of the treasures of the Dragon Family, and she was very clear about how valuable it was.

She hadn't expected Xiao Fan to take this out to exchange for Spirit Stones.

It wasn't because she was afraid of the Dragon Family's treasure falling into outside hands, but she felt it was a great pity. This lin horn knife was definitely a top-grade Magical Artifact; otherwise, the Dragon Family wouldn't cherish it so much.

“Xiao Fan... maybe forget it...” Dragon Miaoyin whispered into Xiao Fan's ear.

Xiao Fan smiled, looked at Dragon Miaoyin, and said softly, “How can we forget it? Keeping this knife is trouble in itself, and we can't show up empty-handed for your father's birthday banquet.”

A strange light flashed in Dragon Miaoyin's eyes. She knew that Xiao Fan was doing this entirely for her and was deeply touched, but she merely hummed in response and said nothing more.

Their relationship was complicated. They were nominally husband and wife, but their marriage was not consummated.

They had clearly not known each other for long, yet they trusted each other and regarded the other as the most important person.

“This knife is good. Its value is around one thousand five hundred Spirit Stones. If our Treasure Pavilion purchases it, we can offer one thousand two hundred Spirit Stones. How does that sound?” Great Master Lu spoke directly.

He didn't hide anything, telling them the inherent value of the lin horn knife and the purchase price, allowing them to decide for themselves.

Xiao Fan was surprised, not expecting the lin horn knife to be so valuable. After only a moment of hesitation, he nodded and said, “That works.”

“Straightforward!” Great Master Lu chuckled and continued to play with the lin horn knife in his hand.

The young woman nearby gave an embarrassed smile and said, “Sir, please wait a moment. I will go and fetch the Spirit Stones for you.”

Before long, the young woman returned with a Storage Pouch containing one thousand two hundred Spirit Stones.

The group did not linger there. Holding the Spirit Stones, Xiao Fan took Dragon Miaoyin back to the second-floor hall and headed directly to the blood spirit ginseng display cabinet.

“I'll take this blood spirit ginseng. Please wrap it up,” Xiao Fan said. He had enough Spirit Stones now, so there was no hesitation.

The young woman was delighted and smiled, saying, “Alright, sir, your...”

However, before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a voice.

“Wait, why didn't you show me this blood spirit ginseng just now?”

Xiao Fan looked over. The speaker was a young man, appearing to be in his early twenties, dressed in luxurious clothes. Behind him were several servants dressed as subordinates, and a Black-haired Old Man followed closely by his side.

“This... this blood spirit ginseng was previously viewed by this gentleman. He went to the Inner Chamber to appraise a treasure, so the blood spirit ginseng was reserved for him first and was not brought out.” The shopkeeper in charge of Spirit Medicine replied, his expression somewhat awkward.

“So that means he didn't pay just now, and the transaction wasn't completed. By not showing it to me, are you looking down on my Su Family?”

The young man's expression immediately darkened, and he spoke in a malicious tone.

The old man beside him frowned slightly, seemingly wanting to intervene, but he did not step forward.

“Well... this gentleman did look at it first, and he has already decided to buy it,” the shopkeeper said.

The young man let out a cold snort. The Treasure Pavilion's influence was strong, though he wasn't sure exactly how strong. However, his Family had warned him repeatedly never to easily offend the Treasure Pavilion.

The young man wasn't stupid, and he didn't intend to truly offend the Treasure Pavilion. His gaze fell upon Xiao Fan and Dragon Miaoyin. Dragon Miaoyin's face was covered by a veil, making her appearance unclear, while Xiao Fan wore a white robe of very ordinary material, not resembling someone from a wealthy household.

“I've taken a liking to this blood spirit ginseng. Hand it over to me.”

The young man's attitude was extremely arrogant. For Family disciples, this behavior was very common—relying on their Family backing to be arrogant and look down on others.

If it were anyone else, they might fear his identity and yield the item to him, but Xiao Fan would not.

No.
