398: Chapter 398: Bring it Out for Appraisal 398: Chapter 398: Bring it Out for Appraisal So, after Huang Xiaolong and his companions had their fill, they left the restaurant, inquired about the location of Gufeng Appraisal and headed there.
Gufeng Appraisal was one of the largest appraisal stores in South State City.
It appraised not only alchemy materials but also paintings, secret books, artifacts, weapons, and other items.
A while later, Huang Xiaolong and his companions arrived at the busiest street in South State City: Bolan Street.
Gufeng Appraisal was located on Bolan Street, and it was situated in the best section of the street.
Upon reaching Bolan Street, Huang Xiaolong and his companions walked towards Gufeng Appraisal.
Although Bolan Street was as bustling as Food Street, it was different.
On Food Street, most of the people coming and going were commoners, but those on Bolan Street wore brocade robes and were decked in jewels, clearly indicating that they were nobility or from noble families, with distinguished identities and statuses.
Moreover, while Food Street was noisy, Bolan Street, despite the crowd, was not very loud.
Soti later, Huang Xiaolong and his companions arrived at Gufeng Appraisal.
The store was large, and its decor was extrely opulent.
Amid its opulence, it managed to exhibit an air of elegance and luxury.
From the outside, it even appeared more ostentatious than the Mysterious Item Shop.
Huang Xiaolong and his group walked in, finding the interior decoration even more luxurious, elegant, and upscale than the exterior.
Seeing Huang Xiaolong and his friends enter, a shop assistant ca over and asked, “May I know if you are here to appraise treasures or to buy them?”
“Appraise treasures,” responded Huang Xiaolong indifferently.
“Please follow ,” the shop assistant said when he heard the response.
He led Huang Xiaolong and his companions to a seating area in a corner of the Great Hall, adding, “Our boss is currently appraising treasures for Miss Yang and a few others from the City Lord’s Mansion.
Please wait a mont.” He then left.
When Huang Xiaolong and his group entered the Great Hall, the people inside gave them a glance but then paid them no more attention.
Huang Xiaolong and his friends took their seats and looked towards the center of the Great Hall.
They saw a few young people, three n and two won, seated there.
The clothing of these three n and two won clearly conveyed their noble status, indicating that one of the won must be the Miss Yang from the City Lord’s Mansion of South State City.
On the table in front of the five individuals were various items, such as jade objects, an antique vase, a short blade, and a small herb that was entirely dark purple.
Standing before the table was a slightly plump middle-aged man with a mustache and sowhat small eyes.
It seed this was Gu Feng, the owner of Gufeng Appraisal.
The na of the appraisal store was taken from his na.
At that mont, the owner of Gufeng Appraisal was inspecting the short blade on the table through an object resembling a magnifying glass.
The blade was about half an arm’s length, with a slightly blue and red hue, and its handle was engraved with a demon beast pattern.
Under the light, the demon beast pattern refracted a pale yellow glow.
After a while, the Gufeng Appraisal’s owner smiled at a young woman with fair skin, a slightly chubby face, and wearing a Purple Robe, saying, “Congratulations to Miss Yang.
This short blade should be the legendary Moon Beast Blade!
This Moon Beast Blade is a heritage treasure from the Moon Beast clan thousands of years ago.
It is said that when deployed under the moonlight, it possesses miraculous powers!”
Upon hearing this, Yang Ying, instead of showing surprise, spoke arrogantly, “Is that so?
Then, Mr.
Gu Feng, in your opinion, how much would this Moon Beast Blade be worth if it were to be auctioned in the market?”
Gu Feng smiled and replied, “If this Moon Beast Blade were taken to market, it could fetch at least fifty million Gold Coins!”
At this ti, Lin Wu, a young man sitting beside Yang Ying, smiled and said, “Congratulations to Miss Yang.” The other three people also offered their congratulations in turn.
Yang Ying nodded and smiled indifferently, “Fifty million is nothing.” Her tone implied that she did not consider the fifty million to be of any significant value.
Subsequently, the owner of the Gufeng Appraisal rushed to appraise the jade items and the antique vase on the table.
When it ca to the small grass, ink-purple all over, his expression turned serious.
After a mont, he exclaid, “This must be the King of Ten Thousand Herbs, the Nine-leaf Purple Grass!
And the age…
it’s over a thousand years old!”
The other three n and one woman all looked surprised.
The King of Ten Thousand Herbs, the Nine-leaf Purple Grass!
This was a Rare Spiritual dicine, capable of healing any grievous injury when ingested!
Upon hearing this, Yang Ying remained composed, showing no surprise, and said, “You have a good eye, Elder Gufeng.
This is indeed the Nine-leaf Purple Grass, the King of Ten Thousand Herbs.
I have co to have you ascertain its exact age for .”
Upon hearing this, Gufeng collected himself, appraised it carefully, and after a while, he spoke, “This Nine-leaf Purple Grass should be more than thirteen hundred years old.”
Right then, Xiao Tian’s voice rang out, “Big brother, that purple grass looks really tasty.” Saying this, he swallowed his saliva, eyes fixed on the fragrant Nine-leaf Purple Grass on the table in the center of the Great Hall.
Xiao Tian’s voice seed abrupt, grating on the ears.
All eyes in the Great Hall turned to look.
Yang Ying’s brows slightly furrowed, a flash of disdain in her eyes.
She said, “Where did this wild child co from?
Completely lacking in manners and decorum!”
Xiao Tian was barefoot, and although his clothes were not in tatters, the material and fabric were very plain, much like that of a child from the slums.
For nobility like Yang Ying, scions of great families, they had the utmost contempt for commoners, these lowly people.
As for Huang Xiaolong and the rest, their attire was also fairly ordinary.
At this mont, Lin Wu, who was standing beside Yang Ying, looked at Xiao Tian and spoke, “Tasty?
Little one, a Rare Spiritual dicine like this isn’t sothing you lowly people could ever afford to eat.
To even catch a whiff of it is already a blessing from several lifetis of cultivation!
Let tell you, even a hundred of your lives wouldn’t be worth a single leaf of this Nine-leaf Purple Grass!”
As Lin Wu said this, he glanced at Huang Xiaolong, Zhao Shu, and Zhang Fu with an arrogant air.
Huang Xiaolong’s face remained indifferent, “Is that so.”
At that mont, another hawk-nosed man from Qin Country spoke up, “Didn’t you just say you wanted to have your treasures appraised?
We’ve finished our appraisals; now it’s your turn.
Bring out whatever treasures you have and let Elder Gufeng take a look.
Maybe it really is so extraordinary item!” When referring to the treasures, he emphasized his tone, laced with mockery.
Clearly, in his view, the treasures Huang Xiaolong wanted to have appraised were re trash.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu’s eyes flashed with a cold light, about to stand up, when Huang Xiaolong raised his hand to signal them to sit down.
Without a word or approaching, he remained seated and took out two types of Spiritual dicines he had obtained from the Ten Thousand Saints Cave Mansion from the Asura Ring, placing them on the table.
As soon as the Spiritual dicines were brought out, the fragrance imdiately filled the entire Great Hall, completely overshadowing the scent of the earlier Nine-leaf Purple Grass.
Everyone in the Great Hall was shocked, their gaze turning to the two types of Spiritual dicine on Huang Xiaolong’s table.
One of them was also a Nine-leaf Purple Grass, but the one on Huang Xiaolong’s table was more lustrous and significantly larger in size.
Moreover, it was emitting circles of purple light!
Next to the Nine-leaf Purple Grass was a Human-shaped Ginseng, blood-red all over, as if flowing with crystal-clear blood and emitting specks of golden light.
After a mont of stunned silence, everyone’s eyes were filled with intense desire.
Elder Gufeng of the appraisal hurried over to Huang Xiaolong, staring fixedly at the table, “This, this is the Ten-thousand-year-old Nine-leaf Purple Herb, Human-shaped Purple Blood Ginseng!” His voice trembled, in disbelief.
