Chapter 307 - Priceless Treasure Blue Dragon Dagger (2/2)
Ye Chen’s Astral Body had a panoramic view of all the people in the hall. He sneered coldly in his heart. What a bunch of shameless b*stards!
“Master Qi, how’s the appraisal?” Ye Chen asked Master Qi.
Master Qi wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, “I’m incompetent. I can’t figure out the origin of this item.”
Even Master Qi could not identify it? Ye Chen frowned. It seemed he would have to find another place to look at it.
“Even Master Qi can’t identify it? That’s strange. No one in Yun Yan County is better than Master Qi when it comes to appraising artifacts. Is it possible that there’s someone with a counterfeit technique that has reached such a level?” Young Master Lian was even more certain that Ye Chen’s item was fake after seeing that Master Qi could not identify it. Ye Chen was just someone from a small country. How would he get his hands on anything valuable?
“That’s true. Master Qi can’t tell it’s origin, but he should be able to tell if it’s a real spirit artifact or a fake one,” Countess Zilan said.
Master Qi understood that these people were not to be trifled with. If he did not pick his words carefully and these people started a scene outside, the Court of Treasures would have to take down their signboard.
“Countess, Young Master, there are many treasures in this world where it’s normal to be unable to identify its origins. However, whether it’s real or fake can be clearly seen.” Master Qi looked at Ye Chen and said, “Although I can’t tell what rank this spirit artifact is, I’m willing to buy it for two hundred thousand Chi-amassing Pills. Will you be willing to sell it?”
Master Qi saw that the Blue Dragon Dagger was extraordinary and thought Ye Chen was ignorant, just like Young Master Lian and Countess Zilan did, and wanted to buy it from Ye Chen.
Two hundred thousand Chi-amassing Pills. Even the Tier Five spirit artifact with the damaged artifact spirit that Young Master Lian had appraised was also two hundred thousand Chi-amassing Pills!
Both Young Master Lian and Countess Zilan were surprised. This old man Master Qi would never conduct business that resulted in a loss!
Ye Chen’s eyebrows raised. Although Master Qi looked kind, he was still a businessman and was quite shrewd. He said flatly, “Don’t mention two hundred thousand Chi-amassing Pills. I wouldn’t sell it even for a million Chi-amassing Pills.”
Master Qi’s expression suddenly froze at Ye Chen’s words. He still held the Blue Dragon Dagger in his hands and could estimate its value. It seemed like he had underestimated Ye Chen. Ye Chen must have had some sort of background to be able to say such words. Furthermore, he knew of this Blue Dragon Dagger’s value. He could not afford to offend this customer!
“One million Chi-amassing Pills. Do you think that someone will give you a million Chi-amassing Pills for that dagger?” Young Master Lian laughed. “You’re overestimating yourself! You’ve already profited when Master Qi offered two hundred thousand Chi-amassing Pills and you’re still not satisfied!”
Qi Yun pondered. He also had some background behind him. Even if he tore Young Master Lian and Countess Zilan’s faces, they would be fine. However, Ye Chen’s background was very mysterious. This kind of person was the most dangerous. He could be an experienced disciple that was secretly sent out by a martial arts family. Otherwise, there was no way that he could suddenly bring something like that out and said that he would not sell it even for a million Chi-amassing Pills.
Master Qi quickly interrupted Young Master Lian’s words and said politely to Ye Chen, ” Although I can’t identify what tier this spirit artifact is, I’m very certain that it’s at least Tier Six. It could even be Tier Seven. However, the artifact spirit in this dagger is asleep and needs to be awakened somehow.”
At least Tier Six and perhaps even Tier Seven? Young Master Lian, Countess Zilan, and the others immediately stared with wide eyes. Was that true? However, there was no need for Master Qi to lie at this point!
“The words Blue Dragon Dagger are carved on the surface. The carvings are simple and unsophisticated, and resemble somewhat like the style of the Gulan Empire. It might even be a royal legacy from over tens of thousands of years ago,” Master Qi enunciated. His heart also thundered as he spoke. He took out a millstone-sized piece of gold-colored metal form the cabinet next to him and said, “This item is called Fairy Gold. Even a Tier Six spirit artifact won’t be able to leave a trace on its surface! We can use this to identify a spirit artifact’s tier.”
Master Qi placed the Fairy Gold on the table and swung the Blue Dragon Dagger. With a “thunk”, the dagger easily pierced the Fairy Gold.
Young Master Lian and Countess Zilan watched in horror. They had not believed in Master Qi’s empty words earlier but now that the truth was right before their eyes, they had no choice but to believe it!
Seeing the Blue Dragon Dagger sinking into the Fairy Gold, Master Qi was also dumbfounded. Sweat rolled down his face and he warbled, “I… I was mistaken. Even a Tier Seven spirit artifact won’t be able to leave such a deep dent on this Fairy Gold. However, this Blue Dragon Dagger sank to the hilt. I’m afraid it’s at least a Tier Eight or even a Tier Nine spirit artifact!”
Human Tier, Earthly Tier, and Heavenly Tier spirit artifacts only existed in legends, so even Master Qi did not know how to identify them. He could only say that it was a Tier Eight or Nine item.
“To be able to see a Tier Eight or Nine spirit artifact in my lifetime, it was worth living this long. This Blue Dragon Dagger is absolutely a priceless treasure!”
“How do you awaken it?” Ye Chen had seen a spirit arcana before and was not that excited that the Blue Dragon Dagger was a Tier Eight or Nine spirit artifact. He looked at Master Qi calmly. If the artifact spirit inside was not awakened, the Blue Dragon Dagger would just be a sharper-than-average weapon. However, if the artifact spirit was awoken, he could draw on its power and its usefulness would increase several-fold.
