Chapter 1137: Exchange

Xiao Yan’s eyes merely paused on the copper plate for a moment before they s.h.i.+fted away. Immediately, his eyes swept another round over the jade platform. Along the way, he even acted as though he was interested in some other medicinal ingredients. This continued for awhile before he randomly picked up the copper plate on the jade platform in a gentle manner.

A faint coolness spread the moment the copper plate entered his hand. Of course, this was not because the copper plate was special. Instead, it was due to it had been stuck within cold air for a long period of time.

Xiao Yan flipped this copper plate with some interest. His finger gently rubbed it. The rough feeling caused it to appear just like an ordinary copper plate. If not for the somewhat complicated drawings on it, it was likely that no one would truly treat it as a treasure.

Xiao Yan was unable to understand the complicated drawings on it. Moreover, due to the presence of some copper rust, the drawings had become a little distorted. It was difficult to clearly see what it was.

“This is actually an item from the ancient times?”

Xiao Yan’s heart felt some disbelief as he flipped this copper plate. No matter how he tried to probe it, he was unable to discover the slightest uniqueness. If Tian Huo zun-zhe had not secretly transmitted words into his ears earlier, it was likely going to be very difficult for him to connect this thing and ancient times.

Although Xiao Yan felt some disbelief in his heart, his face appeared extremely calm. He looked as though he merely felt curious about this copper plate. That sloppy old man merely rolled his eyes in the face of Xiao Yan’s manner. However, he did not say anything. Xiao Yan was not the only one who was interested in this copper plate. There were quite a number of treasure seekers who had studied it in the past. However, no one ended up exchanging anything for it.

“Stop dawdling. This copper plate’s value is more expensive than the Snow Bone Ginseng. Moreover, there is no bargaining…” The sloppy old man dug in one of his ears and spoke in a causal manner.

Xiao Yan’s finger paused while it rubbed the copper plate. He smiled and asked, “Is there anything unique about this copper plate? It is even more valuable than the Snow Bone Ginseng?”

“I don’t know.” The sloppy old man curled his mouth and gave an answer that stunned Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan bitterly smiled. This old fellow was really strange… he was able to give such an answer in a righteous manner.

At this moment, the surrounding observers involuntarily laughed because of the sloppy, old man’s reply. Clearly, they had seldom seen a stall owner of such quality.

“Although I am unaware of what the use is of this copper plate, I can tell that this is an item from ancient times…” The sloppy, old man swept his eyes over those who had laughed before snickering.

The surrounding laughter immediately halted when these words sounded. Numerous surprised eyes locked onto the copper plate in Xiao Yan’s hands. Everyone knew that any item related to the words ‘ancient times’ was definitely not ordinary. However, they still found it difficult to believe that this ordinary copper plate was related to the ancient times…

Compared to the surprise of these people, Xiao Yan’s hand involuntarily tightened when he heard the words being uttered by this sloppy, old man. It was unexpected that this old man had such sharp eyes. If Tian Huo zun-zhe had not informed him, Xiao Yan would not have been concerned about this copper plate. From the looks of it, the eyesight of this sloppy, old man was quite great.

“Ke ke, may I know how old mister is certain that this thing is related to the ancient time

s?” Xiao Yan’s heart tightened, but his face still contained a smile. He gently placed the copper plate down. Turned his eyes to the sloppy old man and inquired with a smile.

“The drawing on it is something I have seen in some ancient books. However, you can forget about asking me of its use. I have no idea. Would I take it out and sell it if I really knew what it is?” The sloppy, old man rolled his eyes and answered. “In any case, I believe this thing is related to ancient times. It is up to you if you wish to buy it.”

Everyone present exchanged looks with one another in the face of the sloppy, old man’s answer. They helplessly shook their heads. How could they simply rely on this one-sided claim of his? No wonder no one had exchanged for it despite having sat here for such a long time.

Xiao Yan felt a headache in the face of this old fellow. It appeared that nothing worked on him. After letting out a bitter laugh, Xiao Yan asked, “What does old mister wish to exchange this copper plate for?”

“A tier 7 high grade medicinal formula.” The sloppy, old man laughed. It was rare that there was someone interested in this thing…

Xiao Yan bitterly laughed once again upon hearing what he wanted. He shook his head, regretfully glanced at the copper plate, and said, “It’s too expensive. Even if it is really as mister has said and this copper plate is an item from ancient times, there are many things that have been left behind since ancient times. Among them are ordinary day to day items. Just this drawing alone is insufficient to a.s.sess its value…”
