Chapter 157 - Young Master Bai (1/2)

Ch157 – Young Master Bai

Baili Yunsong took a deep breath and secretly recited ten times “you can’t hit your Didi you can’t hit your Didi”, then slowly exhaled. He said through clenched teeth, “Baili Yunshan, don’t think that I won’t dare beat you up when we’re outside. Ask one more question and I’ll beat the c.r.a.p out of you!”

Baili Yunshan immediately put on an ingratiating smile. He scratched the back of Baili Yunsong’s hand and said all docile, “Second brother, Second brother, I was wrong ma. I just knew you weren’t the kind of person who would play such underhanded tricks. My Second brother is an upright and honest person, you’re a great person!”

Baili Yunsong rolled his eyes at him and turned to face the platform. “Look carefully and remember them, when we get back I’ll send some people out to look for those materials.”

Baili Yunshan shook his head regretfully and said, “I’m afraid that most of those materials aren’t found in the Five Continents’ mainlands. Even if they were, we’d only be able to b.u.mp into them by chance in Mysterious Lands that aren’t easy to explore. Some may even be extinct, so don’t waste our resources.”

Baili Yunsong didn’t say anything and just rubbed Baili Yunshan’s head.

His younger brother has always been this sensible.

Only Lin Xuanzhi remained on the platform.

Boss Bai cast a disdainful glance at Lin Xuanzhi. “Please, go ahead. I wonder how many materials Craftsman Lin has heard of out of all the ones here.” Sneers could be heard below the platform. Someone raised his voice and laughed, “For someone as amazing as Craftsman Lin, instead of merely hearing about them, he should’ve even seen them with his own eyes before ba!”

“Hahaha…”

Cold sweat trickled down Yan Tianhen’s face; he was afraid that Lin Xuanzhi would get shamed in public.

However, Lin Xuanzhi just smiled lightly and said to the one who had spoken below the platform, “You do have rather good judgment to know that I have seen them before.”

After he spoke, Lin Xuanzhi turned to look at the first material and smiled, “This material is called Cold Moon Jade b.u.t.terfly; it resembles a b.u.t.terfly, but it’s not one, and is in fact a kind of stone. It prefers dark and humid deep valleys, and under the moonlight, it can produce an illusion of b.u.t.terflies dancing in the sky. Due to such a characteristic, it is often used by auxiliary Array Cultivators to refine the cores of auxiliary arrays, and it can also be used to refine illusory items. As for the material’s level…he, profound grade seventh level, which is quite good, and it’s scarce in supply too. I just don’t know if there would be anyone in the Bai family now who would dare to use it in their refining processes.”

Lin Xuanzhi paused for a moment before saying to Boss Bai, whose face had paled considerably, “I wonder if I’m right?”

Boss Bai was in utter disbelief. This Cold Moon Jade b.u.t.terfly was clearly from the outer world, and it was rare too, so it was impossible for someone like Lin Xuanzhi — who has never left the Five Continents’ mainlands and wasn’t from a craftsmen family — to know of its existence!

In fact, only a few pupils of the Bai family had the right to experience this Cold Moon Jade b.u.t.terfly for themselves.

“So is he right or not?” Someone from below the platform asked.

“Yeah, he made it sound so incredible. I’ve never heard of such a material before.”

“It can produce b.u.t.terfly illusions? That’s so unique, I’ve never heard of it before either. He shouldn’t have just made it up on the fly ba.”

Lin Xuanzhi had always maintained a gentle, yet pressing smile on his face.

A bad feeling surged through Boss Bai’s heart. However, it was impossible for him to stop halfway, so he could only use his Qi to unfurl a corner of the huge scroll suspended in mid air. The black words on it appeared.

【Cold Moon Jade b.u.t.terfly, grows in dark and humid deep valleys, profound grade seventh level stone material, illusions of b.u.t.terflies will appear under the moon, an illusory item and often used by auxiliary Array Cultivators to craft cores.】

“Sss–!”

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air as they stared at Lin Xuanzhi in disbelief.

Yan Tianhen cheered, “Dage’s the best! Dage guessed it right!”

Duan Yuyang breathed a sigh of relief too. “Amazing, amazing. I’ve never even heard of it before, how does he know about it?”

Ji Yunwei couldn’t stop applauding. “Brother Xuanzhi is indeed extraordinary and wonderful. It’s fortunate that I hugged his thigh in advance.”

Duan Yuyang turned his head to look at Ji Yunwei, “Young Master Ji, as the young master of the Ji family, don’t you feel embarra.s.sed for saying such words?”

Ji Yunwei looked back at him and said, “Don’t tell me Young Master Duan doesn’t think the same?”

Duan Yuyang, “…”

Ji Yunwei, “…”

Both of them revealed a smile that seemed to say ‘we both know it’ at the same time.

Of course they had to hug such a big thigh in advance!

On the platform, Lin Xuanzhi still laughed without a hint of arrogance. “Boss Bai, is my guess considered correct?”

Boss Bai could barely maintain the smile on his face, but he still nodded. “Of course, of course it is.”

Lin Xuanzhi nodded, “Then I’ll guess the second one.”

Boss Bai’s face instantly paled even more — he still wanted to guess the second one? Was guessing one right not enough for him??

Lin Xuanzhi ignored how Boss Bai was feeling and walked straight to the second material. He cast a glance at it and said, “This is the inner core of a black turtle, and is at least 3000-years-old. I’m guessing that the black turtle’s cultivation must at least be of the Transformation Stage. The attributes of the black turtle are water and metal, its core is most suitable for refining medicinal liquid or medicinal pills, but it can also be used to craft equipment. I think it would be most appropriate to be embedded in weapons and serve as additional Qi. Black turtles have never appeared on any of the Five Continents’ mainlands before, and not only so, it is a demonic beast that had gone extinct 10,000 years ago. People have even said that in order to preserve the continuity of their species, the black turtles have long since hidden in the caves at the depths of the sea, and would not easily appear. Thus, no one would have seen a black turtle before, let alone their inner cores.”

This time, everyone held their breath and waited for Boss Bai to reveal the answer.

Boss Bai glared at Lin Xuanzhi with a deathly ashen face. He gritted his teeth and forcibly endured the urge to vomit blood, then said through clenched teeth, “Craftsman Lin, you’re so amazing to even be able to tell what this is, but I wonder how Craftsman Lin managed to identify this material?”

Lin Xuanzhi said lightly, “Everyone has their own fortuitous encounters. I might have seen this kind of material in my past life, so the impression lasted until this life.”

Boss Bai wanted to say ‘you’re just spouting nonsense’. Who would have known if he was a human or a dog in their past life? So where would the memory come from? But right now, he couldn’t even utter a word.
