"And you, I don't want you to go through fire and water. As long as you can really serve the Nanyan Auction House wholeheartedly, I will never treat you unfairly." Mu Hanyan made a decision and said to Manager Sun and others.
"Please rest assured, young master. We will never let you down." Manager Sun and the others said seriously.
In the Holy Court Continent, strength was paramount, and astrologers were no exception. Even their masters had signed indentures to improve their abilities, so what was there for them to worry about?
Next, Mu Hanyan re-deduced Qu Shanling's hand seal in her mind, made some modifications, and taught it to Qu Shanling. The old charlatan Qu was so happy that he danced with joy, and there was no trace of the style of a great swordsman at all.
There was a sudden commotion outside the courtyard gate. A guard came to report, but was afraid of disturbing Mu Nan, Master Qu and others, so he hid outside the door and looked inside.
"What happened?" Mu Nan asked.
"A merchant came outside and said he had a griffin egg for auction and wanted Master Qu to help identify it," said the guard.
"Griffin!" Nan Mu and others were shocked at the same time.
The griffin is a top-tier exotic beast, its power already legendary. Only the royal families of various nations possess the means to tame it, and its numbers are so rare that ordinary people don't even have the chance to see one. As for wild ones? That's beyond the reach of ordinary swordsmen.
Someone actually got a griffin egg. That's too lucky.
"Let's go and take a look." Mu Nan said excitedly.
"I'll go take a look too." Qu Shan, who had mastered the Lingshou Jue (Spirit Hand Seal), was equally excited. For a charlatan, the most important thing was to be knowledgeable, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity to broaden his horizons.
"Master Qu, are you okay?" Mu Nan asked worriedly. He remembered that he had vomited a lot of blood just now, probably a big basin full.
"It's okay, just replenish it." Qu Shanling took out a big pork leg from his arms and took another big bite.
Mu Nan's cold sweat slid down his forehead, and then he wiped it off silently.
When they arrived at the compound, they saw a large group of vendors and customers surrounding a man dressed as a swordsman, asking questions with curiosity and excitement.
The man was about thirty years old. He was holding a strange bird egg covered with patterns in his hand and was telling everyone the origin of the egg with great enthusiasm.
After asking the guard next to her, Mu Hanyan learned that his name was Yang Hong, and what he was holding in his hand was the so-called griffin egg.
He said he had found the egg in a griffin's nest a month ago while training in the Longyan Mountains, having strayed deep into the mountains. The griffin guarding the nest was engaged in a fierce battle with a giant golden-horned python, and the two top-tier beasts were locked in a fierce battle. He had then quietly sneaked into the griffin's nest and stolen the egg.
The crowd of onlookers were all very curious and excitedly asked about the details of the battle between the griffin and the golden-horned python. Yang Hong answered fluently without any flaws, and even danced with joy when he talked about the exciting parts, causing others to exclaim in surprise.
"Master Qu is here, Master Qu is here, please ask Master Qu to help you identify it. As long as it is confirmed that this is a griffin egg, I guarantee you can sell it for a good price." Seeing Qu Shanling coming out, someone reminded loudly.
The others also stopped making noise and bowed respectfully to Qu Shanling.
At this time, Qu Shanling had of course already put away the pig leg. He put his hands behind his back, held his head high and chest out, and looked dignified. With the cultivation of a tenth-rank great swordsman and a pair of eyes with a restrained and unfathomable divine light, people could not help but feel awe. He was simply the epitome of a hermit.
