Martial Master

At this moment.

Yang Yan was on the verge of tears.

Why did it have to be so unfair?

Was there no justice?

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

This Qin Chen, he was simply extraordinary.

Could it be that this person was hiding his true abilities and was actually an appraisal master? But even if he had been practicing appraising treasures since he was in the womb, it would have only been for a few years!

Qin Chen touched each item on the Huangli wood table, and with a slight scan of his mental power, he could identify what each item was and couldn't help but shake his head.

The table was mostly filled with worthless items, like scrap metal or broken pots. Occasionally, there were some decent treasures, but they were just rare ancient materials, nothing too precious.

Shaking his head, Qin Chen was about to turn away when he touched the last item.

This item was covered in thick rocky moss, and it was long, like a weapon.

As soon as Qin Chen's hand touched it, before he could scan it with his mental power—

Boom!

Qin Chen's mind shook violently, and the mysterious ancient book appeared in his soul sea, emitting brilliant rays of light.

Boom!

Simultaneously, Qin Chen felt a resonance from the long item in his hand with the light of the mysterious book, shaking him violently. He almost couldn't hold onto it.

The whole process was fast, coming and going quickly.

Before Qin Chen could react, the mysterious book disappeared again, sinking back into the sea of his soul.

What was that?

Qin Chen was shocked and quickly examined the long item in his hand.

A scan with mental power revealed a rusty sword inside.

The whole iron sword was rusted and almost useless, with no discernible original appearance.

But Qin Chen knew that the treasure that made the mysterious book appear was definitely extraordinary.

"Hmm, this item is quite good. Let me see, the price is twenty thousand silver coins. Steward Xu, here..."

Qin Chen was shocked inside but maintained a nonchalant expression, casually taking out twenty thousand silver coins and handing them to Steward Xu.

"This..."

Steward Xu was stunned.

Yang Yan and the others were also dumbfounded.

Qin Chen had just severely criticized the Jubao House, and now he was buying something from them?

There must be something fishy here.

"Wait..."

Yang Yan hurriedly stopped Steward Xu, but he was already handed Qin Chen's silver notes.

"Wait, we haven't agreed to sell this item to you, Xu Zheng, quickly return the money in your hand!"

Yang Yan shouted angrily.

Everyone was stunned. What was Master Yang up to?

Having someone buy from the Jubao House was a good thing!

Then, seeing Yang Yan's eager eyes, everyone suddenly understood and looked at the item in Qin Chen's hand.

This Qin Chen had excellent appraisal skills and could easily identify treasures wrapped in raw stones. Perhaps the long item in his hand was a treasure?

Suddenly, everyone's eyes heated up.

"What, a deal is a deal. I've already paid for this item to the Jubao House, and they accepted it. So this item is mine now. Does the Jubao House intend to go back on their word?"

Qin Chen's face darkened, and he spoke coldly.

"That's not what I meant," Yang Yan hurriedly said. "Buying treasures at my Jubao House requires our approval. I hadn't agreed just now, so how could this item be considered sold to you? Don't make a fuss. Leave the item."

Yang Yan was anxious and furious.

"It requires your approval? Hahaha, this is the first time I've heard of such a rule in treasure gambling."

"In treasure gambling, everything is clearly priced. Once you pay, the item belongs to the customer. Now that you've taken the money, you want the customer to return the item? That's ridiculous."

"Oh, I understand now."

Suddenly.

Qin Chen seemed to realize something and coldly laughed. "Your Jubao House's so-called treasure gambling event is just a way to let the capital's influential people test treasures. If they get junk, you deliberately raise the price to make them think they've profited. If they get a treasure, you claim the transaction is unsuccessful to take it back."
