Chapter 485: Grade Six Antiques Master, Li Wei

“What? You dare curse at me? Do you want to die?” Jia Xinlin said while releasing a force of spiritual energy that raced towards Chen Jin and Fang Bin in an attempt to push them down.

The pressure of the spiritual energy reached their bodies, and before the two could even react, they vomited blood and collapsed on the ground. They saw that Jia Xinlin had made no other moves against them, and it seemed that he only wanted to teach them a lesson. Chen Jin secretly let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had secretly used a wisp of the spiritual energy from the naga robot to protect the two of them. Otherwise, this doppelganger would have died. He should improve his strength as soon as possible.

Chen Jin wiped the blood on the corners of his lips and said, “We are on the grounds of the sect, and you still want to kill us using your cultivation?”

As for Fang Bin, he was so scared that he had turned as white as a ghost. He pulled on Chen Jin’s sleeves in a silent request to stop talking. However, Chen Jin found nothing to be afraid of. It was inconvenient for him to use the naga robot because he did not want to expose its existence.

Jia Xinlin was somewhat shocked. He had just used a force of spiritual energy to suppress them. The two men’s Qi cultivation was only at the fourth level. Even if they were not seriously injured, at the very least, they should not be able to get up from the ground after collapsing. They had only vomited blood, how did that happen? Although he found it rather strange, he still said, “You have to know this, although the killing of fellow disciples in banned in this sect, no one cares if new disciples taught a little lesson.”

As Chen Jin listened to his words, he grasped their real meaning in his mind. Although what the other party said might not be completely true, the sect would not seriously punish those involved in this little thing. Even if he squealed to the higher-ups, it wouldn’t make a big difference. Hence Chen Jin thought for a little bit and said, “I don’t know if the sect will even care about this, but what right do you have to say that the stone I chose is good or bad?” Chen Jin thought, Hehe, even though you can’t be punished by the sect, I can still take a dig at you.

“Because I have been studying this for more than ten years. How could I not be clear about which stones have a higher probability of turning out to be a real storage stone and which stones are duds?” The old man saw that he had gotten his “face” back and acted like he was a very capable person by flinging out his sleeves in a very affected manner. He said calmly, “First, that stone of yours is very small. Although a small size does not mean that there is nothing good inside, its common knowledge that a big stone has a greater probability of containing treasures than a small stone. Secondly, the stone has a blueish-green hue. But the stones that come into the market are mostly stones originating from ancient times, and very few people sealed their treasures into the blue-green stone in the ancient times. Lastly, the goods are sealed within the stone via an array so a little residual power from the array would more or less remain on the stone. Even if it’s been a long time, this residual power can be detected. But your stone has no trace of any residual power from an array, so I conclude that it’s a just a piece of junk.”

“Ok, you say it’s junk, I say it’s the real thing. Let’s bet on this if you have the guts. If you win, I will pay you one hundred pieces of spirit stones. If you lose, get on your knees and apologized to me.” Chen Jin was provoking Jia Xinlin’s wrath while deliberately raising the stakes. When a person was angry, they were likely to agree due to the impulsivity generated from the rage.

Sure enough, when he heard that Chen Jin wanted him to kneel, Jia Xinlin immediately became fired up and said, “Good fellow, you’re the one who’s giving away free money, don’t blame me for this. I’ll bet you. You win if the value of the goods inside the stone is worth more than 500 spirit stones.”

When Chen Jin heard what Jia Xinlin said, he cursed him in his mind for being so shameless. A gemstone that cost one spirit stone turning out to contain within it goods that were worth more than 500 spirit stones? Jia Xinlin was very cunning too. But it didn’t matter, the things inside this stone were worth more than 500 spirit stones. He could be as cunning as he liked.

“Then, I would like to humbly request everyone here to act as witnesses. Afterward, I am willing to offer each person a spirit stone.” Chen Jin saw the opportunity and quickly made his request.

“I am willing.”

“Yes, I am willing too.”

While everyone was giving their response, Chen Jin had already come forth to the stone-cutting master, “I’ll be troubling you with this.”

“Hmm,” the stone-cutting master nodded without speaking much and applied his professional stone cutter to the stone.

In a short time, the “outer garments” of the gemstone were all cut off. In the fine stone pattern, the edge of a wooden box was faintly visible, its material was red sandalwood.

The master carefully cut open the blueish stone along the edges of the wooden box. He made a surface cut on the wooden box, and finally retrieved the box.

There was something inside. When the onlookers saw that after a wooden box was cut out from the gemstone, they looked at Jia Xinlin strangely. Their eyes seemed to be saying, didn’t you say that there was nothing inside? Didn’t you say that it’s junk?

With everyone staring at him, Jia Xinlin seemed to feel somewhat embarrassed, “It’s just a wooden box, and even if it is something, how much can a wooden box be worth?”

“You’ve never thought that there could be something in the box?” As Chen Jin spoke, he took over the box that the stone-cutting master handed to him.

“Quickly, open and see what’s inside,” Fang Bin looked excitedly at Chen Jin. Looking at the red sandalwood box, Fang Bin’s breathing began to speed up.

Chen Jin couldn’t help but smile in self-deprecation. He wanted to take a further dig at Jia Xinlin, but Fang Bin couldn’t wait any longer. Ah, forget it, he should open the box.

Chen Jin opened the red sandalwood box, and immediately, everyone’s expressions became weird.

There was a ring in the red sandalwood box. Looking at its color, the ring seemed cast in bronze, it was very ordinary. Everyone in the room had never seen it before, it did not seem to be anything valuable.

Seeing this, Jia Xinlin laughed heartily, “You lost, it’s just a useless ring. How much can it even be worth? Come, hand over the one hundred spirit stones.”

“Just because it looks ordinary doesn’t mean that it’s worthless. Magic weapons of immeasurable power always look plain and ordinary. It’s better to hand it over to the antique master for an evaluation before making any conclusions. Who knows, you might have to kneel to me after it’s been evaluated,” Chen Jin said calmly.

At the same time, Fang Bin consciously took the ring to the front desk and handed it to the antique master.

Master Li Wei was a six-star antique evaluation master. He had originally come out for a stroll to clear his mind and to check on how the business of the external disciples was doing. Who knew that he would witness this scene just when he arrived here. Hence he remained standing at the sidelines and watching the fun.

Fang Bin handed the ring to the antique master at the front desk.

The treasurer took the ring and looked at it carefully. It was only after a while that he said, “I’m sorry, forgive an old man’s corroded brain and foolishness. I’ve been looking at it for a long time and I still don’t see what it is. It might just be an ordinary ring.”

His voice had just landed on the audience, and Jia Xinlin who was standing at the side secretly sighed in relief. Fortunately, it was nothing, otherwise, things would get embarrassing for him. He was about to berate Chen Jin, when a middle-aged man in the crowd calmly said, “Let me have a look.”

“You want to have a look, and what are you anyway? The antique master has said that it is an ordinary ring, you dare to deny his conclusion?” Jia Xinling couldn’t help but snarl in rage. The situation had already be settled conclusively and now a monkey wrench had suddenly been thrown in his way, halfway through the road to kill a squad, Jia Jialin could not help with the anger.

“Oh? You’re asked what am I?” Li Wei did not seem to be angry. He spoke calmly, “Guo Guanghui, you tell him what I am.”

The middle-aged man did not react. But the emotions of the antique master sitting upright at the front desk was turned upside down. “He, he is our Pavilion Master and a grade six antique master evaluator, Li Wei. Pavilion Master Li.”

Thud, Jia Xinlin’s heart immediately sank. He was finished, his life would end here. The sect wouldn’t pursue the matter if a grade six antique master evaluator killed him. His knees gave out all of a sudden and he found himself in a kneeling position.

Seeing how Jia Xinlin had put on such an awe-inspiring presence towards Chen Jin and how he was acting right now towards him, Li Wei lost interest immediately. He waved a hand and the ring in Fang Bin’s hand suddenly appeared in Li Wei’s hand, “Little disciple, can you sell this storage ring to me?”
