Chen Xiao was shocked by this conclusion. He only guessed from the faint aura on the ivory that it was an item with a history. But he didn't expect it to be the tooth of a ferocious beast, and it had been passed down for thousands of years.
When the Immortal Master said that the ivory plaque was made of a beast tooth with a history of thousands of years, the senior employees of the Snow Seeking Immortal Pavilion were very surprised. You know, the longer it has been passed down, the higher its price as an antique. As an ordinary object, it is expensive. Not to mention that it is made of something from a fierce beast.
Fierce beasts are superior to wild beasts, and their status is like that of immortal masters to mortals. In addition to being extremely fierce and powerful, some of them are psychic and intelligent, and even have magical skills.
Whenever a ferocious beast appeared and wreaked havoc on the mortals' territory, unless it got tired of playing and left on its own, an immortal master would have to take action to drive it away or kill it. Usually, it was mostly driven away, and it was rarely killed.
Therefore, any material products from the beasts are 100% related to the immortal master. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are real immortal antiques.
Looking at the ivory plate that the Immortal Master had taken, Pang Hemu felt very complicated. He was happy that Chen Xiao had found such an item and did not lose face for them. He was also surprised that such a treasure had been covered in dust in his store, and he felt regretful.
The head and second shopkeepers, as well as several other shopkeepers, were the same. If they had known that there was this beast's tusk, it would not be much worse than the bronze tripod. In fact, because it was only a small piece, it was not as coveted as the bronze tripod.
Pang Hemu stood at the side and saw Chen Xiao, who was not far away, also looked surprised. He was obviously also shocked by the result.
This was the second time he had done something amazing, the bronze tripod before and the ivory plaque now. The fact that they happened one after another was not a coincidence, but Chen Xiao was really talented in identifying immortal antiques. Pang Hemu sighed softly, it was a pity that someone like Chen Xiao would not be kept by him.
After Xi Yunting looked at the appearance, he tentatively input his true energy to check. He paused with an obvious expression, raised his tooth card to Chen Xiaoyang, and said, "I don't know if your luck is good or bad. The item is not bad, and it's worth collecting."
"?" Chen Xiao showed a puzzled expression, but Xi Yunting did not elaborate. He reached out and took out a small bag from his arms. Chen Xiao had just seen this small bag a few days ago. The middle-aged man who took away the bronze tripod also had one. It seemed that it was used by the immortal masters to store their valuables.
Xi Yunting grabbed a handful from the small bag and held it out to Chen Xiao. Chen Xiao subconsciously reached out to take it, and a small pile of round, pearl-like beads fell into his palm. The beads collided with each other, making a pleasant and crisp sound like jade.
Chen Xiao lowered his head and counted them. There were exactly ten, no more, no less.
The head shopkeeper had good eyesight, and when he saw the small bead, he gasped: "Spiritual bead?!"
Pang Hemu was standing close by and saw it too. That day, the middle-aged man threw the small bag directly into his arms, which was also filled with such spiritual beads. The middle-aged man deliberately gave him the bag directly, and Pang Hemu knew that this was a good intention to prevent him from revealing his true intentions. When Pang Hemu returned home at night, he counted and found that there were fifty spiritual beads in the bag.
He made a comparison in his mind and vaguely understood that the value of this ivory plate was one-fifth of the bronze tripod.
When the shopkeeper called him, Chen Xiao also remembered when he had seen such beads. It was that time when the boss made a big deal and invited all the employees to dinner. The chef brought a special stove, which was powered by this kind of spiritual beads. However, that one was much smaller than the ones in his hand, and the color was dull and turbid. He didn't associate it with it at once.
"Walking in the snow to look for immortals is worth the trip." Xi Yunting said in a low voice. When Chen Xiao looked up again, he had disappeared.
He turned his head and saw that the water in the pool had stopped shaking and was slowly returning to calm, which meant that Xi Yunting was really gone.
The Immortal Master left. The atmosphere in the Snow Seeking Immortal Pavilion suddenly relaxed, and the two shopkeepers, their masters, and their employees breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did they dare to talk and move around. Immediately, two or three of them gathered together and excitedly discussed the Immortal Master's demeanor. Most of them were seeing the Immortal Master from the Immortal Sect for the first time, so they were inevitably excited. Their voices were quite loud, and the noisy movement quickly attracted the curiosity of the neighboring shops.
Seeing the neighbors coming, the waiters pulled each other, and the shopkeeper pulled his master, and they talked one after another, narrating the scene that had just happened, causing bursts of exclamations.
Pang Hemu was disappointed: "Gone..."
Chen Xiao handed the spiritual beads in his hand to Pang Hemu: "Boss, these beads are for you."
Pang Hemu's head hurt from the increasing noise in the shop. He frowned and took the beads. He said to Chen Xiao, "Come with me."
The two of them went to the living room in the main house and sat down as host and guest. Pang Hemu took out half of the spiritual beads in his hand and pushed them in front of Chen Xiao: "These are yours, take them."
Chen Xiao looked at the five spirit beads on the table in surprise and said, "Boss? What does this mean?" He knew that the shop owners who made big orders would get a considerable commission, but 50-50 was too much.
Pang Hemu smiled and said, "This is to thank you for helping me out. My reputation is still worth something. No need to give in, just accept it!"
Chen Xiao thought about it and didn't refuse. "Then I will accept it shamelessly."
Seeing Chen Xiao put the spirit beads away, Pang Hemu said to him: "Keep these spirit beads well. I guess these spirit beads are probably the money spent by those immortal masters. Maybe you can use them in the future, so don't throw them away."
Chen Xiao also guessed so. After all, there is no coal and oil in this world. Where these minerals should be, they have become spirit stone mines. In his previous life, coal and oil were generally owned by the country or big financial groups. So who should the spirit stone mines belong to in this world? It can only be the forces of those immortal cultivators.
Then, it is understandable that gold and silver circulate among mortals as precious metals, and spiritual stone products are used as currency.
Pang Hemu asked tentatively, "Xiao Han, I was really shocked when I saw you choose that ivory card. How did you know that the ivory card was an antique from an immortal?"
Chen Xiao said: "I just have a feeling that the ivory plate doesn't look like ivory at all."
Pang Hemu had been in the antique business for nearly 20 years, and had seen countless antique collectibles. He thought he had a certain understanding of ivory products, but he couldn't tell what was different about the ivory plaque. Could it be that this was really due to his talent?
Pang Hemu asked again: "When did you notice it? Recently? Or..."
Chen Xiao smiled embarrassedly: "I noticed it before. When I was still a low-level clerk, I was responsible for cleaning that area. I cleaned it every day and looked at it every day. One day I felt that the ivory plate was a little different. But I had just arrived not long ago, and I was worried that I was seeing things too often, so I never told anyone about it."
"Different?" Pang Hemu muttered these four words. Recalling that when Chen Xiao talked about the bronze tripod, before he mentioned the multi-treasure pattern, he also said that the taste in the bronze tripod seemed wrong. Isn't this also a different and suspicious point?
Pang Hemu was now certain that Chen Xiao really had a natural talent that allowed him to distinguish immortal antiques from ordinary objects.
This ability even excited Pang Hemu more than Chen Xiao's claim that he knew a certain art. He couldn't help but ask, "What other objects do you think are different?"
Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said, "When I first came here, the store sold the immortal antique." The big order that made Chen Xiao eat a big meal as soon as he came was the immortal antique. But it was just a vessel, not as valuable as the bronze tripod and ivory plate.
"Oh..." Pang Hemu was a little disappointed, but he asked unwillingly, "Nothing else? It doesn't matter if it's not in our store. Tell me about it."
Although it is not fair to pick up the leaks of your peers, it is not impossible. It depends on who has a higher vision.
Chen Xiao smiled. He certainly understood Pang Hemu's little trick. Of course, there were shops on the antique street that had immortal antiques that had not been discovered. However, he didn't want to do something like he helped to select and then Pang Hemu would go to pick up the bargains. Pang Hemu and Taxue Xunxian were already too famous and too popular. It was like burning charcoal underneath.
He's going to go to other stores to pick up bargains again. Is it because he thinks he hasn't offended enough people and that he won't die fast enough?
Pang Hemu kept asking, so Chen Xiao said, "There is one thing, a jade pendant. But I bought it when I was on vacation and gave it to someone else when I returned home. The others are immortal antiques displayed in other shops, but they are guarded very closely, so I didn't look at them carefully."
It really is! Pang Hemu was delighted at first, but then disappointed.
Chen Xiao comforted him and said, "Don't worry too much, Boss. There are so many antiques of immortals that have been covered in dust. These two are already very rare."
Pang Hemu thought about it and it seemed to be true, and he regained his composure.
Pang Hemu put the matter aside and turned to the conversation between Chen Xiao and the immortal master. He asked what they talked about, and Chen Xiao said vaguely: "The immortal master felt that I had made some progress in the art of housing, and I can specialize in this art in the future."
Now Chen Xiao somewhat understood why Xi Yunting deliberately spoke in a way that the others present could not understand. After all, if he said in public that his future achievements would be no worse than those of immortal cultivators, that would be too scary.
Maybe Xi Yunting didn't expect him to understand it all at once. But he had heard this before. Even if he didn't understand it at the time, he would definitely ask others to explain it to him afterwards, and he would definitely understand what he meant in the future. This made Chen Xiao sigh again. It was a pity that he couldn't be friends with such a person.
After sighing, Chen Xiao straightened his face and said to Pang Hemu: "Boss, I have a favor to ask of you."
Chen Xiao helped him with two big favors in a row. Although he paid him a lot of money, Pang Hemu still felt that he had not repaid the favor. He immediately replied: "As long as I can do it, I will not refuse."
Chen Xiao said solemnly: "I would like to ask the boss to introduce me so that I can promote the housing technique in the county city!"
