Chapter 1332: Peerless treasure (1)
“Young master Xia, please follow me.” Zhen nantian’s face was black. He glared at the attendant at the entrance and personally led Xia qingchen into the moonview restaurant.
The moonview restaurant was divided into two floors.
The lower floor was the selling area, and the upper floor was the purchasing area.
Zhen nantian directly led Xia qingchen to a secret room on the upper level that was filled with instruments. A few assistants were yawning lazily inside, feeling extremely bored.
What formed a stark contrast was that Xia qingchen, a seller who had specially come here, was rejected at the door and had to leave in a Huff.
Seeing Zhen nantian walking over, the assistants were all in high spirits and immediately pretended to be busy with their work.
“Where’s the head shopkeeper?” Zhen nantian asked coldly.
“The head shopkeeper is receiving an important guest,” said an assistant guiltily.
Zhen nantian looked at the luxurious secret room at the side and saw that the door of the secret room was tightly closed. Outside the door, a sign with the words ” Do Not Disturb ” was hung.
“Hmph!” He walked over without a word and patted the stone door with his big hand. “Come out!”
After a long while, the stone door opened, and a bald old man in disheveled clothes with bloodshot eyes stood at the door, trying his best to stay awake.
From the scars on his face, he was clearly sleeping in a secret chamber.
Zhen nantian saw through it but didn’t expose it. He pointed at Xia qingchen. “This is my friend. He wants to sell something to the full moon restaurant. Please take a look.”
The head shopkeeper’s dream was disturbed, and he was naturally in a bad mood. He looked at Xia qingchen expressionlessly. “Come in,”
He first turned and entered the secret chamber. Zhen nantian patted Xia qingchen’s shoulder, “”You may enter.”
The moonview restaurant’s shopkeepers each had their own division of labor, and they could not interfere with each other.
Zhen nantian was in charge of External Affairs, while the head shopkeeper was in charge of internal affairs.
It was the head shopkeeper’s duty to evaluate the value of the purchased items. It was one of the most important duties, and Zhen nantian could not interfere.
Otherwise, if the tomb keeper pursued the matter, he would be fined Black Moon coins or fired from the shopkeeper’s position.
“Yes.” Xia qingchen cast a comforting gaze at him and then stepped in.
There was another world inside the secret room. It didn’t look big from the outside, but the inside was half the size of a hall.
Moreover, the hall was further divided into ten small and large cubicles, each of which had a specialized appraiser who was currently appraising various goods.
“No. 10, go on your own.” The head shopkeeper said expressionlessly.
Xia qingchen had thought that the head shopkeeper would personally appraise it. It seemed that this wasn’t the case.
“What are you doing? Only those with decent value will be personally inspected by this old man. ” The head shopkeeper impatiently flicked his sleeves and returned to a bedroom.
Xia qingchen didn’t mind her cold attitude. He went to the 10th cubicle.
Inside, there was an appraiser who wasn’t very old. He was appraising a few items on the table.
“What do you want to appraise?” The appraiser’s attitude was very kind. He put down the work at hand and said with a pleasant expression.
Xia qingchen took out a blood serpent stone that was the size of half a coffin lid and placed it on the table. “This one.”
The appraiser stood up and looked at the rather large half of the coffin lid carefully.
After looking at it for a while, he seemed to have figured out something. He took a sharp knife and scraped the lid of the coffin. He scraped off a layer of black dirt, revealing the blood-red stone inside.
“Blood serpent stone?” The appraiser was surprised. He took out professional tools and cleaned up the dirt on half of the coffin lid.
After cleaning up, the appraiser’s eyes were filled with horror.”Such a huge blood serpent stone? And the rarest and most valuable thing is that it’s actually a whole!”
The blood serpent stone was usually scattered, and a thumb-sized one was considered a high-quality item.
And now?
It was half the size of a coffin lid and could be used to make many large, hard Nirvana artifacts.
Even the abyss Masters would be tempted by this item!
The appraiser was excited. This was definitely the most expensive collection he had seen in recent years.
“Young master, can you wait for a moment so that I can pass this to the head shopkeeper?” The appraiser was so excited that he couldn’t speak.
Xia qingchen hesitated.
It was not good for such a precious thing to leave his sight.”Can’t he come personally?”
“The head shopkeeper’s character …” The appraiser looked helpless.
He wanted to say something but stopped. With the head shopkeeper’s character, it was easy to be reprimanded if he disturbed him.
young master, please rest assured. This is the full moon Pavilion, and it’s in the appraisal Hall. There will definitely be no situation where the items are damaged. The appraiser said.
Xia qingchen wasn’t worried that it would be damaged. Given how hard the blood serpent stone was, it wouldn’t be easy for ordinary people to damage it even if they wanted to.
He was worried that something might happen to it.
However, when he thought of how Zhen nantian was just outside, he was slightly relieved.
“Alright, but give me an answer as soon as possible.” As Xia qingchen spoke, he calmly touched the back of the coffin lid.
The appraiser was overjoyed. He immediately took the stone and brought it to his bedroom.
“Head shopkeeper.” The appraiser knocked on the door carefully, afraid of being reprimanded by the head shopkeeper.
The bedroom reeked of alcohol.
The head shopkeeper was lying on the stone bed, extremely tired. Hearing the sound, he opened his bloodshot eyes and said angrily, “”What’s the matter now?”
He was disturbed again and again and couldn’t even get a good night’s sleep!
The appraiser shivered and quickly said, “”Head shopkeeper, there is a priceless item that I need you to personally inspect.”
The head shopkeeper wiped his face weakly and said irritatedly, “”Trash, you’ve been with me for so many years, yet you still need me to handle such a small matter.”
He sat up, put on his clothes, and opened the door with a dark face. “What is it?”
“This is the thing.” The appraiser said with some difficulty, holding the half-broken coffin lid tightly in his arms.
The blood-snake stone was not only hard, but it was also extremely heavy.
The head shopkeeper glanced at it listlessly, but when he looked over, his pupils couldn’t help but shrink. “What is this?”
Although he was a lazy person, to be able to become the head shopkeeper, he still had some skills.
He recognized it at a glance!
“How could there be such a huge blood serpent stone?” The head shopkeeper’s fatigue was swept away, and he held the half-opened coffin lid in high spirits.
Because of the force, the appraiser almost fell to the ground.
The red light from the blood serpent stone made the head shopkeeper’s face look especially excited.
“It’s, it’s really a blood serpent stone! It’s unbelievable!” The head shopkeeper’s eyesight was several times better than an appraiser’s, and he immediately realized that this was not something priceless.
Instead, it was a priceless treasure!
Not only were the abyss Masters tempted, even the tomb guards desired it!
If he handed it over to them, how much reward would he get?
“Come in and talk!” He immediately turned around and went into the bedroom, refusing to let go of the blood serpent stone. He asked the appraiser with a serious expression, “”Which batch of appraisal products?”
He was in deep thought.
If it was someone with a low status, they would buy the blood serpent stone at a low price no matter what.
If he had a high status, he could only rely on negotiations.
“Didn’t the head shopkeeper order you to come here for me to appraise it?” the appraiser asked in surprise.
“You mean the young man in plain clothes?” the head shopkeeper was shocked.
“Yup!” The appraiser even measured Xia qingchen’s height and appearance.
