Chapter 442: Got a new teacher? (1/2)
Hu Guan Shi's gaze has just been cast on Master Yi Fan, and the old man has already noticed it, but he acted like he didn’t see Hu Guan Shi.
Yuan Zhan also noticed Hu Guan Shi. He really hoped that Hu Guan Shi would do something. To be honest, he was very bored and wanted to find something to do or beat.
”The ten demon creature bones, how are you going to sell them?” The old man asked Yan Mo.
Yan Mo spread his hand. ”As you have guessed, I don't know the value of the bone. Do you want to quote me a price?”
The old man was slightly indulged. ”There is not much demon power of the ten demon creature bones. There is no more than one hundred of it. Maybe those creatures were low-level Demon creatures before they were killed. The most valuable thing is the demon rabbit bone with healing energy, but only alone. The price of that bone is up to 10,000. The other bones are worth between 2000 and 3000, the average is 2800, ten together, I quote you 36,000 bone coins, if you sell them alone, It will be just about this price.”
“What do you want to buy them?” Yan Mo thought that the old man wouldn’t look down on these low-demon creature bones, at least he couldn’t want to get them.
”Of course.” The old man was helplessly scorning the boy. ”Didn't you hear what I just told you? The demon creature bones are scarce. Any shop and Bone-Sculptor will not easily let them go, even if the demon energy is less than ten. Remember, if you want to become an intermediate level Bone-Sculptor in the future, it is best not to reveal your bottom line easily when you encounter the demon creature bone. Although the bones are worth the money, how can you make the bone objects which are more expensive that no one will afford them?”
The old man clicked on the counter. ”The cheapest bone treasure in my shop is sold more than 30,000 bone coins. It is a bone object with no special ability. It is not less than a 1000 bone coins.”
Yan Mo was surprised when he heard the price of the bone objects and looked at the village witch Hou Nu. He remembered that there were bone objects in the Wadi village and the villages nearby, the Huoguo village and the Qianshan village, but the old man said that the cheapest bone objects should also cost more than a thousand bones, when he looked at Hou Nu again, his mind suddenly appeared with an image in a villages of the Hornless people. For the sake of respect, the whole village and several generations of financial resources were combed up together to buy a pair of objects for the village witch to wear. . If this is true, then the Bone Sculpting tribesmen is too clever and they know how to squeeze the money of the Hornless people in this way.
Hou Nu didn't know what Yan Mo was looking at and was busy showing him a respectful smile.
The old man followed his gaze and guessed his thoughts. He immediately laughed and said: ”Bone objects in the village witches of the Hornless people living near the city are mostly given by the temple of the city. It is a status of recognition. Village witches like the Wuqian City, except the bone objects, have feathers on their heads. When the Horn-people sees the feathers on the witch's head and the bone objects on the body, they would know that the village is the one that is recognized and protected by horned nobleman. It is not a savage community.”
What would be the end of the hornless community without recognition? Yan Mo did not continue to ask. He also heard the quotes of those people just now. According to the calculation, the price given by the old man is quite kind. Unless someone deliberately fails to go to the A-Lan shop, the result of the auction will not exceed by much.
”As you said, 36,000 bone coins, all sold to your store.”
The old man heard a gesture of the shop manager, the shop manager has been paying attention to this side, seeing the gesture immediately clear, the manager current voice shouted to everyone in the store: ”The seller has decided that the ten demon creature bones are not going to be sold separately, if you want to bid, then ten together. Our shop first bids...”
The old man raised three fingers.
The shop manager saw it and said loudly: ”Thirty thousand!”
There are people who want to buy a single stock to send out noise.
The shop manager did not hear it.
Yan Mo raised his eyebrows and didn't quite understand the meaning of the old man doing this.
The old man turned his head and looked back at Yan Mo. He suddenly reached out and patted his head. Yan Mo held back and did not dodge. This is the sadness of his young and tender face. His Shifu, The Curse-Witch Zhou Wu also likes to pat his head.
Yuan Zhan felt that the old man was not malicious, and he did not move. Although he was very unhappy that someone had touched his Priest Da-Ren, but with the Curse-Witch Zhou Wu, he had gotten more tolerant of the same kind of old people patting Yan Mo head as compare to another.
The old man patted the soft hair of the Little Hornless man and smiled: ”Don’t worry little one. Although I quoted the price, it will not take advantage of you. 36,000 bone coins is my low price. If someone bids more higher than me, you can also sell the bones to them.”
At this time, the store has already sounded the bidding price. Most of them are bidders at the price of the objects shop owners. The price of the Bone-Sculptor is mostly low-level Bone-Sculptor, while the low-level Bone- Sculptor is not only financially strong except for his original family.
”How about it? Do you want to learn to sculpt the bone objects with me?” The old man spoke and added a bit of soul temptation suggestion.
Yan Mo glanced at the old man, and this level of spiritual suggestion should not be a thing in front of me. Believe it or not, I will show you soul power in language?
The old man was stunned by Yan Mo's eyes, then suddenly laughed. It seems that he has looked away, and this Hornless man is not as clever and honest as he imagined. However, this made him more satisfied with Yan Mo. The talent of the Hornless people to learn sculpt is not high. If one is stupid, it is a nightmare for the instructor.
Yan Mo had a good impression of the old man. While thinking about what kind of bone objects to gift him, he looked up and honestly said to the old man: ”I think I must explain to you first, this necklace is very important to me, I will not trade it to anyone.”
The old man showed a regretful expression, but he was not surprised.
”But you are right, I did learn sculpting bones. If you are willing to teach me, I will be very grateful. Of course, if I have what you need, I will try to find it you, but I can't guarantee that I will find it.” Although the character of the old man looked good, but Yan Mo does not want to risk letting the other party know that he has other ancient bone objects, he does not want to test the greed of the human nature.
”Do you mean your ability to distinguish bones?”
Yan Mo saw the old man misunderstood and simply pushed the boat along the water. ”Yes.”
The old man smiled. ”I need a lot of demon creature bones. Maybe your ability is really useful to me. Although I can identify most of the bones with my experience and soul strength, I don't have a third eye. I only have the natural keen eyes of the three eyes can see through all the disguise and see the truth.”
The old man touched the spar in the middle of his eyebrows. His soul crystal color was purple. Since he was promoted to the Bone-Sculpting Master, the soul crystal color became purple black, but the soul crystal is not the third eye.
”Child, you seem to be confident in your ability? Then try this bone and tell me what you saw?” The old man showed a pair of bone objects on his bracelet and a crescent moon bracelet appeared on the counter.
Is this a test? Yan Mo saw the bone at first sight and knew that it was a normal bone without demon magic. The surface of the bone is very smooth, and there is a little faint luster. It is like the bones has been used for a long time, but in Yan Mo's eyes, this bone is also good-looking on the surface, and there is no fluctuation in the actual energy flow.
But Yan Mo didn't want the old man to know that he could tell that at a glance, and he deliberately picked up the bone and checked it.
And when he just touched this bone... eh?
Yan Mo came to a bit of interest and his attitude towards this bone was also a lot more serious.
After watching it for a while, he finally saw the trick, and he was almost cheated!
”This is the bone that has been sculpted recently,” Yan Mo affirmed.
The old man’s eyes showed a praising color. “Yes.”
”It was with energy, but the demon energy is used up.”
The old man smiled deeper, ”Yes.”
”It's the original bone pattern has been modified and has been modified... twice.”
The old man was really surprised this time. ”Bone-Sculptor noticing whose bone pattern has been modified, is quite a huge feat. But to be able to see that it has been modified twice, there are only a handful of people who can see this detail. This is not a problem of eyesight. It involves deep bone knowledge and understanding of bone carving lines. Now I have to wonder if you are really just a low-level Bone-Sculptor.”
Yan Mo returned the compliment with a deceptively silly smile.
The old man’s expression was weird. He seemed to want to give Yan Mo a little pat, and he held back. “Tell me, what else can you see?”
Yan Mo hesitated between the need to hide, and Yuan Zhan's thick palm sliding from his shoulder to his neck at this time.
Yan Mo made the decision instantly: ”If I didn't read it wrong, it was about a part of the bone object, which played the role of storing and releasing magic. It was modified twice. It is probably because it some parts on the bone objects were removed and mounted on another bone object, but the object could not function exactly, so the bone lines were re-modulated.”
”...” The old man looked at Yan Mo for a while and didn't talk. He turned his head and suddenly shouted to the shop manager: ”40,000!”
Hu Guan Shi resentful, he just came out to outbid 36,000, there are no other people around to quote, he was happy that he can take the ten demon creature bones, but!
The shop manager has quoted the price three times, and the other people in the store have never come out to a higher price than 40,000. Some people think that Master Yi Fan is willing to pay 40,000 bone coins in return for something else, and even suspect that the value of these ten demon creature bones is higher, although they really want to continue to quote, but think about it they decided to stop.
Thus, the bidding for the ten pieces of the bones is the result.
Although the shop manager thinks that this price is a bit high, but the old man screamed the price, out of the trust of the old man, the shop manager does not feel that he will suffer. He put away the ten bones and smiles at every on in the shop and then he shouted: ”Our store also has a separate demon creature bone to sell, interested guests are welcome to stay and see, and the price is good.”
Some people are not reconciled. They dare not talk directly to Master Yi Fan. They are surrounded by the store and want to let them sell their respective demon creature bones through this auction.
The shop manager laughed, and he can handle it freely.
Hu Guan Shi inhaled deeply, but fortunately his main purpose is not the bones.
Yan Mo smiled, ”Thank you.” More than four thousand bone coins, is this a recognition of his ability?
The old man looked serious. ”What is your name?”
Yan Mo did not hide: ”My name is Mo, and I have been called Mo for a while.”
He is talking about the free translation in the Bone Sculpting people language. After learning the cursing with the Curse-Witch Zhou Wu, he learned that the real name and name of the witch cannot be told to others.
He tried to use the word ”Yan Mo” in the Jiu Yuan language, which had no effect on him. However, if he uses his previous native pronunciation to call his full name Yan Mo, it will have a special effect. According to The Curse-Witch Zhou Wu theory, this seems to be because his own soul only recognizes that pronunciation is his real name.
Coincidentally, in the common language of the Eastern Continent, salt and Yan are the same, which is why the people of the Yuan Ji Tribe thought he was Yan Mo of the Salt Mountain Tribe Yanshan while he real name from the previous world is Yan Mo and it has nothing to do with the Salt Mountain people.
The old man pointed to himself, ”I am Yi Fan, and you can call me Mr. Yi Fan later.”
Yan Mo understands that the Bone Sculpting people language Mr. is the equivalent of the word meaning teacher, is the old man trying to admit him as a student? But the old man quickly broke his guess.
”Although I asked you to call me Mr., but I did not put you in the wall, you can only be regarded as an apprentice, and one day you will get advanced level Bone-Sculptor I will admit that you are my disciple. This is not just for you, I say this to all of my students. ”
Just as Yan Mo doesn't want to be an apprentice, he has the Curse-Witch Zhou Wu as his Shifu. If the Curse-Witch Zhou Wu knows that he has worshipped other Shifu, he will bet that even if he is separated by a piece of ocean, Shifu will use the most mean curse to curse the people who robbed his disciples.
“Mr. Yi Fan.” Yan Mo saluted with the Jiu Yuan etiquette.
