The Chen family father and son have now become popular figures on this cruise ship. Both Xiong Lie and Yuan Hong are very respectful to them.
Chen Jiaying?
Chen Hui didn't slap her to death, which was already a great respect for her. This wasn't killing the donkey after it had done its work, but rather that he had endured to the extreme and couldn't bear it any longer!
Jiangshan's words made the Chen family, which had fallen into the abyss, reborn!
On the second floor, in a luxurious room, sat a dozen or so well-dressed men, most of them around forty years old, with only Jin Jie being the only one, who was only thirty.
And beside each of these people, there is a person, and without exception, all of these people are cultivators, and the weakest is also a god-transforming being.
As for the strongest...who else could it be besides Jiangshan?
"Everyone, let's not have a long speech about this treasure show. It's boring. Let's just get straight to the point and get it over with!"
A middle-aged man sitting on a chair with an indifferent look on his face knocked on the table and said, and the others nodded without any opinion.
"Then I won't refuse and will show off my ugliness first."
The man nodded and took out a box.
"This man is Lu Qiao, the great tycoon of Dandong. He has a large number of powerful men under his command, and his influence has reached the imperial capital. In Dandong, even the big families are polite to him."
Jin Jie, who was sitting in front of Jiangshan, softly explained the man's identity to Jiangshan.
Jiangshan nodded without any emotional fluctuation at all.
"I bought this treasure from a master at a high price. All of you who have come to appraise it are experts in your field."
"Even Young Master Jiang from Zhongzhou is among them, so you all should definitely know whether my treasure is precious or not."
As he spoke, Lu Qiao opened the box.
Inside the box was a twenty-centimeter-long Ruyi. This Ruyi was made entirely of wood, but it was extremely dark and emitted a strange fragrance.
Moreover, there were strange traces of lightning flowing on this wooden Ruyi, which looked extremely mysterious and had a hint of frightening deterrence.
"Lightning-struck wood?"
"This is a treasure. Even in the hands of some powerful people, it is extremely rare. This kind of thing is the best thing to restrain evil."
"Yes, this piece of lightning-struck wood is worth at least ten spirit stones. After all, it is so rare."
The moment the Ruyi was taken out, everyone started murmuring.
Lightning-struck wood?
After seeing Ruyi, Jiangshan shook his head and laughed sarcastically.
"Young Master Jiang."
"I see you're shaking your head. Do you have any objections to my lightning-struck wood?"
Lu Qiao suddenly saw Jiangshan shaking his head and asked dissatisfiedly.
The whole room was filled with praise, but Jiangshan was the only one who shook his head. What did this mean?
Today is the treasure competition, which concerns everyone's reputation.
Even if you have a kingdom and are intimidating everyone, you can't rely on your own power to devalue other people's priceless treasures, right?
“Not all so-called lightning-struck wood can be called lightning-struck wood.”
Jiangshan responded indifferently.
These words startled everyone in the room, even those strong men with unparalleled power were stunned for a moment.
"Let me ask you, what is lightning-struck wood?"
Jiangshan glanced at Lu Qiao and asked again.
"Lightning-struck wood is naturally wood that has been struck by lightning. The power of thunder remains on this wood, and it is what evil spirits fear the most."
Lu Qiao took a deep breath and said in a serious tone, if Jiang Shan was not so powerful and he was not a little afraid, he would have slammed the table and cursed in the street long ago.
What is lightning-struck wood? It’s as simple as it gets.
"What kind of divine power do you think the wood will retain after being struck to death by lightning?"
Jiangshan shook his head and asked indifferently.
…
At this moment, the whole audience was stunned.
It seems that what Jiangshan said is right. As for those practitioners, they became confused.
"Young Master Jiang, this piece of lightning-struck wood is clearly a growing piece of lightning-struck wood. It's full of vitality and contains a strong power of thunder. There shouldn't be any problems."
A master who had reached the level of a god asked Jiangshan softly.
"Yes, yes, yes."
"Look at this piece of lightning-struck wood. It looks awe-inspiring."
Lu Qiao nodded quickly and said that he was the first one to take out the treasure. If it was really a piece of junk, he would be completely embarrassed.
But Jiangshan shook his head and laughed sarcastically.
"Do you think that a lightning-struck tree that continues to grow after being struck by lightning will still have vitality after being removed?"
"This piece of lightning-struck wood is fake."
Jiangshan stood up and walked to the location of the lightning-struck tree.
"Watch carefully."
As Jiang Shan spoke, he swept his palm over the lightning-struck wood. The lightning-struck wood, which was originally filled with lightning, suddenly dimmed and lost its luster.
"It's very simple. Find a piece of wood that has been struck by lightning, then find some lightning, seal it with some means, and then melt some vitality into it. It will become the lightning-struck wood before you."
“It’s so easy to tell whether it’s real or not.”
"Use spiritual power to slide across the surface of the lightning-struck wood, and those added later will naturally fall off."
After Jiangshan finished speaking, he turned around and returned to his seat.
…
Everyone was stunned as they looked at the charred, rotten piece of wood in front of them.
"Lightning-struck wood is very precious, but not all lightning-struck wood is extremely precious. The real lightning-struck wood must be constantly struck by lightning while growing, growing against the will of heaven, and only then can it continuously increase the power of thunder."
Jiangshan looked at everyone's dazed faces and spoke again calmly.
“Damn it!”
"Thirty million! You cheated me out of thirty million! I won't forgive you!"
Lu Qiao's eyes instantly turned red like blood, and he growled with gritted teeth.
A piece of rotten wood, with some random tricks, was used to get 30 million from Lu Qiao!
This price is too high.
"Haha, Lu Qiao, the treasures you brought out this year really surprised me. They're quite good, very profound, and gave me a big surprise."
"Brother, don't be impatient. We are only worth 30 million. Just treat it as feeding the dog. Haha."
Everyone said with a smile.
Lu Qiao's face seemed to be dripping with blood, and he gritted his teeth.
He originally wanted to make a big splash, but ended up making a fool of himself.
"Let's look at mine."
At this moment, another middle-aged man smiled contemptuously, took out a yellow talisman from his arms and placed it on the table.
Talisman?
When Jiangshan saw the talisman, he looked at it with great interest.
However, when Jiangshan saw the talisman, he couldn't help but shook his head again. It seemed that he overestimated this treasure fighting competition.
