Chapter 649

Qian Chen and the other followed the Second Prince of the Hanhai Kingdom and Seeing Lan Jiu to a stall full of ancient objects.

Both of them saw at a glance the 'real goods' sold at this stall, which were ordinary boutique magic treasures, but being able to stay here naturally wasn't for the 'obvious goods' on the stall, but to find true treasures from those used by the Twelve-Story Building as foils.

At this time, the excitement here had attracted many guests in the Twelve-Story Building to watch, and even guests from several other floors heard the news and came up to see.

Qian Chen still dutifully explained: "Finding treasures among such ancient objects is even harder than finding spirit materials among ordinary ones!"

"Because ancient objects are created by people, many ancient objects have people's spiritual emotions entrusted upon them, plus the creation of heaven and earth, buried in the soil, the long and ancient historical atmosphere will cover up many qi mechanisms. Even cultivators who have cultivated the Dharma Eye might make a mistake when looking at them!"

"However, once a treasure is found among such ancient objects, it might be earth-shattering."

An old man beside him also nodded upon hearing this and said: "The history of the Earth Immortal Realm is too long! I don't know how many good things are buried underground. The Earth Immortal Realm was once incomparably brilliant, not inferior to the Immortal Realm! If one could find ancient objects from that period, even if they were ordinary items, they would be priceless treasures in this era!"

Hearing someone singing along with him, Qian Chen looked back in surprise, and their eyes met, both confirming that the other was not a simple character.

"There are many experts in the Earth Immortal Realm!" The old man sighed slightly in his heart.

"A dignified Soul Transformation ancestor, actually hiding among a group of small cultivators, wandering around randomly, is he having nothing to do?" Qian Chen slandered secretly.

At this time, Seeing Lan Jiu had already taken a fancy to an ancient object, which was a sacrificial banner with many 'secret texts' of a certain god drawn on it. As for the Second Prince of the Hanhai Kingdom, he was a bit indecisive, unable to determine if that was a treasure Seeing Lan Jiu had deliberately chosen to deceive them.

Qian Chen frowned with Seeing Hua Daier on the side, professionally fanning the flames: "Actually chose this item? Such a sacrificial vessel of a god, even if it is an ordinary object, will have the power of vows wrapped around it after long-term worship. Over time, it will settle some mysterious power, making it even harder to judge!"

The old man beside him also nodded slightly: "This banner is slightly old, but extremely complete, it might be an incense sacrificial vessel!"

Qian Chen took over the conversation: "It is an incense sacrificial vessel, but there are also high and low grades. The strong ones, like the sacrificial vessels of the gods of the Heavenly Court, and even the mountain and river gods of the first or second rank in the human world, are equivalent to magic treasures and are incomparably precious! But if it is just an incense sacrificial vessel of a small god, to us cultivators, it is just a kind of treasure material for refining ordinary magic treasures. Moreover, incense sacrificial vessels are wrapped in incense, and have karma entanglement, and the material has been washed by the power of vows, making it extremely difficult to judge the quality of its essence without true refining..."

"Legend has it that in a Celestial Emperor family in the Central Lands, the Central Divine Artifact that suppresses the foundation is an incense sacrificial vessel! This vessel looks like a pottery vessel made of yellow mud, but it is the great power that suppresses the Central Lands, with immeasurable divine power!"

"Such an implement, if the sacrificial method of the god in the vessel is not activated, is just like an ordinary pottery vessel!"

Qian Chen said solemnly: "Such an implement, if they fight over it, might raise the price to a shocking level. If they make a mistake..."

He sighed as he spoke, implying that he regarded this magic treasure as the key to deciding the outcome between the two, and the one who made a mistake would definitely lose face!

If it spreads, it might even make the forces behind them lose face!

When it comes to fanning the flames, Qian Chen is a professional.

Seeing Hua Daier smiled and said: "Hehe... Uncle Li is saying, this incense sacrificial vessel might be a trap set by Seeing Lan Jiu? Preparing to scare away the few people who are looking for trouble?"

Qian Chen nodded with satisfaction—she is also very professional!

An old man beside him coughed and turned to look at Qian Chen, actually having a feeling of cherishing each other. He opened his mouth and said: "However, this incense sacrificial vessel might really not be simple. Its style is extremely ancient, and I seem to have seen the secret texts on it. It is at least an ancient object that truly came from the Witch Dao era, not something forged later..."

Seeing Hua Daier also quietly transmitted to Qian Chen: "This sacrificial vessel is indeed very special, it has a faint Dao rhyme. My spiritual sense is naturally keen, and I can detect a sound of ancient sacrifice on it!"

Qian Chen shook his head and said publicly: "Sacrifices in that era were very prosperous, and there were many sacrificial vessels. The more this is the case, the harder it is to judge, because the secret texts of the gods on it are enough to protect this banner from damage, allowing an ordinary sacrificial object to be preserved. Sacrificial vessels are always rare, and ordinary sacrificial objects are ten thousand times more than them. No one can guarantee that what they encounter is exactly a sacrificial vessel. Maybe if magic power is poured into it, the secret text is destroyed, and this object will turn into fly ash!"

The onlookers nodded one after another, feeling that what he said was very reasonable. This object was indeed difficult to judge, no wonder the Twelve-Story Building left it here.

Seeing Lan Jiu had listened to their discussion for a long time, especially Qian Chen, who had said everything, both positive and negative! A belly full of repetitive words, introduced a lot, but it was of no use for judging the real situation, making Seeing Lan Jiu's face turn black, secretly thinking: "This person is too bad! It seems he has been fanning the flames on the side, putting me and that Second Prince of the Hanhai Kingdom on the fire!"

He sneered: "I want this thing! What's the price?"

The Twelve-Story Building disciple behind the stall looked embarrassed. Now everyone knew that this item on his stall might be a treasure, but both people on the opposite side were not simple characters. Raising the price rashly would probably offend both of them.

He gritted his teeth, feeling that both would definitely raise the price against each other, so he reported the original price: "Ten Mountain-Clearing talismans! Or spirit pearls and other spirit materials of the same price."

"So low?"

The bystanders were a bit eager to move, such a low price, it was completely worth a gamble!

"Wait!" The Second Prince of the Hanhai Kingdom interrupted with a sneer: "I said, with me here, don't even think about taking away any item from here. Fifty Mountain-Clearing talismans!"

"One hundred!" Seeing Lan Jiu was calm.

"Five hundred!" The Second Prince of the Hanhai Kingdom had a huge tone, throwing a thousand gold.

"One thousand!"

Seeing Lan Jiu suddenly raised his head and stared into the eyes of the Second Prince of the Hanhai Kingdom, making his heart thump. This price was already enough to make him bleed a little. If this person looked for a piece of trash to deceive him, losing some money was a small matter, but losing face, he couldn't accept it.

But if he retreated like this, his face would still be lost... and it would be lost for sure!

"One thousand... not worth it!"

Qian Chen shook his head on the side: "One thousand Mountain-Clearing talismans are already enough to buy a good magic treasure! God's sacrificial vessels are not suitable for cultivators to cast, and they still need to be re-refined. Taking so much money to gamble on the truth or falsehood of a god's sacrificial vessel is not worth it! Originally, it could be considered picking up a leak, but now under the competition of the two, it has become a chicken rib!"

"What is a chicken rib?" The old man beside him asked curiously.

"Eating it is tasteless, abandoning it is a pity, that is a chicken rib!" Qian Chen smiled.

"Hahahaha..." The old man nodded while stroking his beard: "Wonderful! Wonderful! The saying of chicken rib is truly wonderful! However, I disagree with the gentleman's words. That banner is extremely ancient, if the gamble is right! It might be an earth-shattering sacrificial vessel. I think this price is worth a gamble!"

"One thousand Mountain-Clearing talismans are equivalent to one-tenth of a true talisman! One true talisman is a Core Formation cultivator..." Qian Chen still shook his head: "Not worth it, not worth it!"

The Second Prince of the Hanhai Kingdom fell into silence. Although his arrogance was arrogant, he was not stupid in the end, knowing that retreating at this time would make Seeing Lan Jiu even more uncomfortable. His face was ultimately not worth that one thousand talismans. But the Second Prince of the Hanhai Kingdom thought about it, that Seeing Lan Jiu was not liked by the sect, and even the Seven-Treasure Pill scheduled for him was taken out to be sold!

One thousand talismans was probably all the family wealth of this person! Does he dare to take all his family wealth to gamble on this?

If he retreats, he is truly bankrupt... Unless, this thing is really worth this price!

The Second Prince of the Hanhai Kingdom's eyes froze, and he sneered: "One thousand... and one!"

Humiliation, such an offer was naked humiliation.

Seeing Lan Jiu was silent for a moment, and continued to offer: "One thousand five hundred..."

"Two thousand!"

This time, the Second Prince finally confirmed his conjecture, raising the price to a point where Seeing Lan Jiu couldn't follow at all. He sneered: "If you want to offer more, you have to verify whether you have so many Mountain-Clearing talismans! I am Xia Yi, the Second Prince of the Hanhai Kingdom. A mere two thousand Mountain-Clearing talismans are not even the price of a magic treasure I buy, but you are just a cast-off of Luo-Zhen, and you dare to compare with me?"

He raised his head, and a streak of cyan-purple qi flashed in his pupils, as if splitting into two pupils.

Qian Chen exclaimed on the side: "Dharma Eye! The Second Prince of the Hanhai Kingdom has actually cultivated a Dharma Eye. It seems his eye for treasures is not inferior to Seeing Lan Jiu of the Luo-Zhen Immortal Gate. He doesn't need to snatch his things, he just deliberately makes things difficult for him."

"That is the Eye of the Azure Heaven of the Xia family, but their family is only a side branch, not the true Xia-Hou family, so they didn't get the true transmission of the Eye of the Azure Heaven either. It can only be called the Pupil of the Son of Heaven! However, it is said that the Xia family has even lost a part of the Pupil of the Son of Heaven! Looking at the unstable appearance of those double pupils, it should be the Dharma Eye divine ability created later by the Xia family—Bright Eyes and Double Pupils! It is said that it can see through falsehoods and is an extremely exquisite Dharma Eye divine ability. It seems he dares to buy this sacrificial vessel, and it is not without reliance!" The old man beside him also clicked his tongue:

Seeing Lan Jiu just smiled slightly and said: "Then let it be for you!"

Xia Yi's face changed slightly, but he still handed over the talisman coins and snatched the banner from the stall. He input his magic power into the banner, but when the banner experienced magic power, the secret texts on it flashed and extinguished, and the entire banner turned into fly ash, leaving only two ribbons that were not affected!

The onlookers exclaimed, and someone whispered: "It's not a sacrificial vessel! That's a huge loss!"

The stall owner who sold this vessel also muttered: "This object was unearthed from an ancient ruin. The Twelve-Story Building originally thought it was a sacrificial vessel treasure. Unfortunately, it turned into fly ash as soon as it was refined. In the end, only this one remained, so it was placed here as an ancient object to sell! However, there are two ribbons left this time, which can't be considered a total loss..."

"Why didn't you say this earlier!" Xia Yi felt like vomiting blood in his heart.

At this moment, Xia Yi's face was extremely ugly, but he still had a city mansion, knowing that making a scene would only make him look even uglier, so he casually threw the two ribbons to Seeing Hua Daier and said: "Two thousand Mountain-Clearing talismans, it's just a little money. Buying this thing was just to give to little Daier, even if it's a greeting gift from me!"

Seeing Hua Daier couldn't help but say sarcastically: "Daier can't afford a greeting gift of two thousand talismans! This thing, why don't you take it back!"

Xia Yi had already recovered, and said indifferently: "The things I send out, there is no reason to take them back! If little sister Daier doesn't want it, just throw it away!"

After speaking, he supported himself and turned to leave, revealing an appearance that he didn't care at all.

Qian Chen beside him took the two ribbons and called out in surprise: "Eh! This object seems to have something to say. That banner might just be an accessory decoration, these two ribbons are the true sacrificial vessel! It is said that in ancient times, people's hearts were simple. Even when sacrificing to gods, sometimes they just tore two ribbons and tied them to a wooden stick... But don't look at how simple this is, in fact, those ribbons were the best things they had! They are fabrics of ancient silkworms."

"Later, the era evolved, people's hearts were no longer simple, and the scale of sacrificing to gods also expanded a lot, so the early sacrificial objects were re-decorated!"

Qian Chen shook his head slightly and said: "God's sacrificial vessels are different from cultivators' magic treasures, they cannot be activated by magic power. Take these two ribbons back, use good incense to worship and nourish them, and they will gradually restore their original power. At that time, you will be able to see what this object is really about!"

"This object is too precious... Second Prince, you should take it back!"

Saying this, Qian Chen handed it back with a sincere face.

Xia Yi's face twitched, but in the end, he didn't have the face to take the two ribbons back, just supported himself with a faint smile and said: "I saw long ago that this object was a bit different. If it didn't have mysteries, would I have given it to little sister Daier! The things I send out, I won't take back!" After speaking, he flicked his sleeve and turned to leave.

Most of the crowd actually saw through the weakness under his supported appearance.

But there was still a small part of people, either to flatter, or really didn't see it, and praised: "The Second Prince is indeed extraordinary in demeanor, not caring about this little money, just to teach a lesson to that cast-off of the Luo-Zhen Immortal Gate!"

Seeing Hua Daier was about to laugh her stomach out, put away the ribbons, rubbed up to Qian Chen and whispered: "Uncle Li, how is this thing?"

"How is what?" Qian Chen had a faint face and replied casually.

Seeing Hua Daier winked at him: "If it wasn't a good thing, how could Uncle Li have set the trap so early?"

"Uncle Li, you must have seen long ago that these two ribbons were the true sacrificial vessel, otherwise you wouldn't have said 'if magic power is poured into it, the secret text is destroyed, and this object will turn into fly ash'. It was precisely because you said this sentence that after Xia Yi discovered that the banner really turned into fly ash, he felt that he had fallen into Seeing Lan Jiu's trap and threw this thing to me."

"So... what great fortune person, what Bright Eyes and Double Pupils, I'm afraid they are not as profound as your old man's eye for treasures!"

Qian Chen smiled slightly and flicked a spiritual sense over: "This is a recipe for praying to gods. Go back and refine incense according to the recipe, and worship these two ribbons every day... This object, even if it is only a part of the god's instrument, is also a material for magic treasures. It's cheap for you!"

Seeing Hua Daier laughed, put away the ribbons, and showed off: "Ribbons are magic treasures suitable for girls! Uncle Li, you are handsome and gentle, what does it look like to hang two ribbons on your body! These two fat sheep are so fat! Must keep an eye on them..."

The two hurriedly followed the main force. The old man saw the two again, gave a thumbs up to Qian Chen and said: "Still the brother's eye for treasures is profound, and the calculation is deeper, even I was set up!"

"Haha... it's all because the brother didn't take a fancy to that object, otherwise how could it be my turn?" Qian Chen said modestly.

The two looked at each other, both feeling that the other had a trace of their own shadow...
