Miracle Doctor, Abandoned Daughter: The Sly Emperor’s Wild Beast-Tamer Empress
Chapter 58 Ambergris
Ye Lingyue was in a good mood after successfully capturing the fire pit viper eggs.
"I can't tell, my sister's preferences are really special." The woman in red pursed her lips and smiled. Seeing Ye Lingyue's good looks, she thought that she liked jewelry and rouge gouache as much as other women. How could she know that she actually bought such terrifying things as fire-bellied snake eggs.
"It's just my personal preference. I don't think my sister has taken any action. Could it be that these things are disgusting?"
After so many rounds of auctions, the woman in red did not look at the auction items directly. Ye Lingyue heard her conversational temperament and knew that her background was unusual, but she didn't know what kind of things could attract her.
"What I'm interested in is still to come. I came today to take a gift for my father. He will be celebrating his 50th birthday in a few days." The woman in red didn't hide it, she told Ye Lingyue, she followed her father and mother and just moved to Licheng a year ago.
The two talked and laughed a few more times. At the last moment of the auction, the shopkeeper of Ju Qilou ordered someone to carry out something.
I saw something like that, but the size of two palms, dark, like stone and like wood.
As soon as the things were moved in, the whole Jianbao Hall was filled with a refreshing fragrance that made people feel comfortable.
"The thing I want to buy is the one-hundred-year-old agarwood." The woman in red briefly explained the origin of the agarwood to Ye Lingyue.
Agarwood is a kind of crystal that grows from a fragrant tree in the southern region. It only needs to be cut into a small piece and used to burn incense and grind powder. It can treat various diseases and is a treasure comparable to medicinal herbs.
The red-clothed woman's father had some old illnesses in his early years, and agarwood was very good for his body. The red-clothed woman came here specially when she learned that agarwood was for sale at today's Treasure Gathering Conference.
"I believe that many people here are here for this piece of agarwood that is a hundred years old. The reserve price for this piece of agarwood is 10,000 taels." The shopkeeper of Ju Qilou did not introduce much. They are all prominent figures in the city.
Such a small piece costs 10,000 taels. Wood is more expensive than gold these days?
Ye Lingyue stared at the piece of agarwood, her tongue twitching in her heart. She originally thought that her blue-patterned Xuanyin Pill was worth enough, but compared with her agarwood, it was really far behind.
"11,000 taels." As soon as the red-clothed woman opened her mouth, she immediately added 1,000 taels.
There are many people present who are jealous of the identity of the woman in red, and the price of this piece of agarwood is indeed higher.
"Twenty thousand taels." At the end, only a man who looked like a fat-headed businessman was bidding with the woman in red.
"Sister, don't you think that the fat man is driving up the price. He has been whispering to the accomplice next to him, as if he is calculating something." When the price was raised to 30,000 taels, Ye Lingyue couldn't help it. Whispered to remind the woman in red.
She had been looking at the fat businessman just now, and she always felt that something was wrong with him.
The woman in red was reminded by Ye Lingyue and looked at the fat man carefully, her brows furrowed.
The woman in red had lost her mind for a while trying to rob Chenxiang earlier, but when she took a closer look, she found that the fat man was a well-known profiteer in the city.
This person usually makes a living by selling counterfeit goods and stolen goods. Could it be that the piece of agarwood...
"Wait a minute, shopkeeper, I want to take a look at that piece of agarwood." The woman in red called off the auction. According to the rules of Ju Qilou, the buyer can inspect the goods halfway.
She believed in Ju Qilou, so she did not doubt the authenticity of Chenxiang, but at this moment, it seemed that there might be some problems with Chenxiang's origin.
The shopkeeper of Juqilou naturally recognized the identity of the woman in red, so he invited her up.
The woman in red looked at Chenxiang, and there is nothing wrong with a hundred years of Chenxiang, but...
The woman glanced at Chenxiang and found that there was blood on the bottom of Chenxiang.
A few days ago, a chamber of commerce in a neighboring city transported a piece of agarwood through Licheng, but it was looted halfway, and dozens of members of the chamber of commerce were killed...
The red-clothed woman's pretty face turned pale, she kept quiet, put Chenxiang down, and stopped bidding.
Seeing that the woman in red suddenly gave up the bid, the fat businessman and his accomplices were also very depressed. They could only spend 30,000 taels to "buy" the blood-stained agarwood back.
The first half of the auction was over, and in the second half, it was time for treasure appraising.
This part is different from the previous auction. The items of the treasures are not sold to the outside world, they are only used for appraisal. For those famous people in the city who like to collect and have experience in the treasures, this second half is much more interesting than the auction.
The shopkeeper of Juqilou also ordered people to carry the items to be appraised and place them in the hall one by one.
Ye Lingyue glanced at it and saw that the items to be identified were also varied, about twenty or thirty.
Ye Lingyue's piece of ore was appraised by the people in Juqilou earlier, and even the appraiser of Juqilou couldn't figure out what kind of ore it was, so it was placed in an inconspicuous corner.
I hope someone present can recognize the origin of that ore, Ye Lingyue thought to herself.
The woman in red did not buy a hundred years of agarwood, and felt a little down. She saw the items in the eye field at random, but she had no interest. When she was about to leave, her eyes stopped in a corner of the Treasure Hall.
At the same time, the vice president of the alchemist association also noticed the piece of ore, and the two walked forward quickly.
"This is?" The woman in red had already walked to the piece of ore, with a bit of uncertainty in her voice.
She picked up the ore and checked it carefully. The more she looked, the more shocking expressions in her eyes.
The vice-chairman of the Alchemist Association picked up the piece of ore, weighed the weight, tapped the piece of ore with his fingers, and shook it in his ear.
There was a sound similar to the shaking of liquid in the ear.
"Ambergris iron!" The vice president and the woman in red have both confirmed that this piece is the legendary ambergris iron that ranks third among all iron mines.
"Sister, what is dragon saliva iron?" Ye Lingyue took the opportunity to walk to the woman in red.
The woman in red casually told Ye Lingyue the origin of this ore.
Ambergris is one of the top-quality ore, and it is also known as the three famous irons in the mainland along with the famous Nirvana iron and Meteor iron in the mainland.
Its origin is also a bit mythical. The dragon saliva of the ancient dragon dropped on the mysterious iron ore, and the formation of the mysterious iron ore mutated. Different from other irons, the weapons made from ambergris iron have a very high quality. Strong elasticity, can be stretched and compressed at will.
Weapons made from ambergris are a good weapon that all warriors hope to obtain.
"So? This piece of ore is very valuable. How does it compare to the one-hundred-year agarwood?" Ye Lingyue's eyes were filled with different lights, almost turning into gold coins.
