Chapter 299 Appraisal

Ishikawa was in the queue, waiting slowly. There was no obstruction in front of the treasure appraisal, and the appraisal was done directly in front of everyone, but very few treasures passed.

Occasionally, a treasure passed the old man's appraisal, and the owner of the treasure was ecstatic.

Soon, it was Ishikawa's turn.

Ishikawa took out five jade boxes and lined them up on the table in front of the old man.

The old man didn't even look at Ishikawa, took a jade box, opened it casually, and showed a surprised look on his face.

"This thing is indeed rare, but the price is not too high. If there is only one, it cannot participate in this auction. If you are willing to sell it, I can buy it personally."

"That's not necessary." Ishikawa said lightly. In this jade box is one of the specialties of the Fire Country, the Flame Fruit.

After the Fire Fruit matures, it continues to grow. Now there are thousands of them in the Immortal Mansion. Ishikawa was not particularly clear about the value of this fruit, he only knew that it was very rare.

Listening to what the old man said, although this fire fruit was rare, the price was not high and it was not suitable for a single auction.

And Ishikawa would definitely not take out dozens of fire fruits for auction. If there were too many fire fruits, it would definitely attract the attention of the cultivators of the Fire Nation.

The old man pushed the jade box back and picked up the second jade box.

As soon as the jade box was opened, a strange fragrance spread in the room.

The old man took a deep breath of the fragrance, left to cover the jade box, then took out another jade box from his arms, wrapped it up, and made another seal, and put the jade box into the storage bag.

"I'll take this treasure. If nothing unexpected happens, you can see it at today's auction."

"Thank you, fellow Daoist!" Ishikawa bowed. This fruit is also one of the spiritual fruits in the Immortal Mansion. The spiritual tree that produces this spiritual fruit was obtained by Ishikawa from ancient ruins. Ishikawa didn't know the name of this fruit. Rather than selling it, it's better to say that Ishikawa wants to find someone to identify the origin of this fruit.

"Come on, let this fellow Daoist take a seat!" After accepting this fruit, the old man's attitude towards Ishikawa changed greatly.

Ishikawa was not polite and sat down directly.

The old man still accepted the third and fourth boxes solemnly, because the spiritual fruits in these two boxes were not much worse than the second box.

The old man looked up at Ishikawa. The spiritual fruits in these three boxes were extremely rare, and the conditions for their growth were also different. This person was able to take out these spiritual fruits, so there must be something extraordinary about him.

Thinking of this, the old man had more expectations for the last box.

Because the last jade box is different from the previous four jade boxes. This jade box is as big as two fists.

The old man slightly opened a small gap, and a strong stench erupted from the jade box.

In an instant, all the cultivators in the room covered their noses.

Most of these people are cultivators in the foundation-building period, and there are a few who have reached the great perfection of the late foundation-building period. Even these people can't resist it, which shows how strong the stench is.

The expression on Ishikawa's face is quite calm.

If there were no first three jade boxes, the old man would definitely be furious.

But the first three jade boxes are all extremely precious spiritual fruits, and this last box must not be a prank.

However, the old man has never seen this stinking thing.

"Daoyou, may I ask what treasure this is?" The old man asked.

Before Ishikawa could speak, someone frowned and said, "What kind of treasure could this be? If it were taken to the auction, I'm afraid everyone would run away because of the stench."

"Not necessarily. This kind of treasure with a strong stench may be extremely poisonous..."

…………………………

Ishikawa did not respond to these people's speculations, but just said two words lightly: "I don't know."

The old man frowned slightly. He has been identifying treasures in Tongtian Trading Company for more than 20 years. In these 20 years, he has seen so many treasures that ordinary people can't imagine.

And there are many strange treasures that he has seen in the jade slips, such as the snake demon fruit in the fourth box, which is the first time he has seen it.

But this kind of spiritual fruit that is so huge and smelly that even the foundation-building cultivators can't resist it is the first time he has seen it.

This must be something unusual.

"This treasure..." The old man pondered for a moment and said, "I have never heard of it either. But since you are a distinguished guest of our Tongtian Trading Company, I will ask my uncle to personally identify it."

"Thirteen, take this treasure and ask my uncle to identify it."

A blue-robed monk took the fifth jade box and ran to the second floor at a rapid speed.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment. My uncle is knowledgeable and will know the origin of this item as soon as he sees it." The old man said.

Ishikawa nodded: "Then I will trouble you."

"By the way, do you have a seat at the auction?" the old man asked.

"I came in a hurry and didn't have a seat."

"It's just a coincidence. I had a good friend who came to the auction. I reserved a seat for him, but he suddenly realized the way of heaven and was in seclusion. This seat was idle. Now I will give it to you." The old man took out a golden token and handed it to Ishikawa.

Shichuan smiled slightly and accepted the golden token. How could Shichuan not know the goodwill of the old man? Shichuan just didn't have a seat, so he just accepted it.

"Thank you, fellow Daoist, I'll be disrespectful if you refuse it."

"No problem!" The old man smiled and said, "This token is also my identity badge. If you need me in the future, just come to me."

The old man said casually.

In just a few words, the relationship between the two became closer.

And the old man didn't ask Shichuan's name, let alone his own name. He believed that Shichuan had kept his goodwill in mind.

If Shichuan wanted to make friends, he could find him at any time with this token.

"When there is a chance, I will visit fellow Daoist in person." Shichuan smiled slightly.

"You've finished looking at the things, hurry up and make room, we're still waiting?" The monks behind saw Shichuan and the old man chatting, and shouted with some dissatisfaction.

The old man frowned slightly and said angrily: "Why are you shouting? This Taoist's treasure is worth all the treasures you have taken out..."

Shichuan stood up and smiled slightly: "Then I won't delay you from continuing to identify the treasure. I believe your uncle's identification result will come out soon."

Shichuan slowly walked to a seat not far away, where ordinary spiritual tea was served, and there were rockery and flowing water scenery, which was very artistic.

At this time, the blue-robed monk hurried down. He looked at the person in front of the old man and his face changed.

He shouted loudly: "Senior Brother Liu, where is the Taoist just now?"

Before the old man spoke, he hurriedly said: "Uncle has ordered that this Taoist must be invited over no matter what."

The old man's expression changed. There were very few treasures that he didn't know. Occasionally, if he didn't know them, after giving them to his uncle, he would be annotated with the origin, use and value of the treasure, and then sent back.

Listening to the words of the blue-robed monk, it seemed that the uncle was very concerned about this stinking treasure.

"Are you calling me?" Ishikawa stood up.

"Fellow Daoist, you haven't left yet!" The blue-robed monk was overjoyed. "Fellow Daoist, please follow me."

Led by the blue-robed monk, Ishikawa came to the second floor.

As soon as he entered the stairs on the second floor, there was a huge screen more than three meters long.

On the screen was a huge phoenix, with flames all around it, as if it were alive.

What surprised Ishikawa was that the phoenix on the screen could actually move. Ishikawa took a closer look and found that this phoenix was not painted, but refined by earth fire.

This exquisite control of earth fire is really amazing.

"Fellow Daoist, please come in. It won't be too late to come back after the uncle has finished talking to you." The blue-robed monk reminded.

"This is the first time I have seen such a magnificent scroll, and I am a little distracted." Ishikawa took a few steps and said with a bow.

"I was also shocked when I saw it for the first time. Even now, I feel that the good fortune in it is endless." The blue-robed monk smiled and said, "But Master Uncle has been very busy these days. Many Jindan-stage seniors want to see Master Uncle and have to line up. Master Uncle can summon you. I'm afraid that your treasures will make Master Uncle very interested." The blue-robed monk said as he walked, "But you don't need to worry too much. We in Tongtian Business will not do those things of robbery. Generally speaking, you can come out after a quarter of an hour after entering." After walking for more than ten feet, a light curtain appeared in front. The blue-robed monk took out the token, broke the light curtain, and invited Ishikawa to enter. Behind the light curtain was a hall. There were many tables and chairs in the hall, and seven or eight monks sat scattered around. Some talked carefully, some tasted spiritual tea, and some sat cross-legged in meditation. These people were all Jindan-stage monks. Seeing the blue-robed Xishi and Ishikawa come in, they couldn't help but look over. It was the first time that Shichuan saw so many Jindan-stage cultivators, and it was also the first time that so many Jindan-stage cultivators paid attention to him at the same time. His heart was throbbing, and he seemed to be unable to control himself and almost jumped out.

Shichuan quickly stabilized his mind and suppressed the throbbing in his heart.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, don't joke with the junior. Look at this junior, his face turned pale because of your fear." A female cultivator said with a sweet smile.

This woman looked only in her twenties. Her eyebrows and eyes were full of tenderness. The Taoist robe on her body could not hide her delicate figure.

"Haha... This junior has good concentration. If it were an ordinary foundation-building cultivator, he would have fainted long ago." A black-faced man said with a smile.

Shichuan was startled, and a trace of anger rose in his heart. The strange feeling just now must have been caused by this black-faced Jindan-stage cultivator.

"Next, Ji Lianhai!" A child shouted loudly.

The black-faced man quickly stood up, and the playful look on his face completely disappeared. He walked respectfully towards the inner door.
