Xia Chen was speechless. These two young men looked like they came from a wealthy family and felt they were superior to others. They could talk however they wanted without caring about other people's feelings, which was annoying.
He didn't bother arguing with the two of them, not to mention he was in a hurry to go back to the inn and experience the wonders of the Essence Stone, so he smiled innocently, put away the three Essence Stones, and turned around to leave.
"Wait a minute." Wei Hong shouted, "You go home, but I have a few words to explain to you."
Xia Chen stopped and looked at him with a frown.
With a playful smile on his face, Wei Hong said: "If I read it correctly, the marrow stones you just bought are all gray and white, and the patterns are intertwined. In our marrow appraisal industry,
There is a name for it, it’s called the Second Ring Stone.”
Xia Chen frowned and said, "I don't understand marrow appraisal. If you want to say anything, just say it directly."
The squeamish girl covered her mouth and smiled.
Wei Hong's smile deepened: "What I want to tell you is that all the second ring stones are basically waste stones. They are not even qualified to be reprocessed into Yuan stones. Apart from being used as decorations, they have no value at all. You have been
Damn it, I must have spent a lot of yuan stones to buy these three pieces of waste stone. How does it feel to be taken advantage of? Haha."
There was an unspeakable sarcasm in his laughter, and he obviously wanted to cause trouble for Xia Chen.
The squeamish girl naturally laughed at him: "Cousin, you are still awesome. You taught this country bumpkin a lesson. I guess he is going to regret it now. But he has already spent money to buy the marrow stone, how can he return it?
, I can only knock out my teeth and swallow the blood, it’s really a pleasure.”
Xia Chen said calmly: "Are you done?"
Wei Hong waved his hand: "That's it. You can go and go back and smash these waste rocks. You will definitely find something very precious."
The squeamish girl laughed again.
"You just said that the second ring stones are basically waste rocks." Xia Chen said, "There are two words "basic" in it, which means that not all the second ring stones are waste rocks, and I have also seen relevant appraisals.
Marrow books, it is said that in the history of Wuling, there were Erhuan stones that produced Yuan stone marrow, but there were only very few, otherwise it would not be today. There will still be a market for Erhuan stones, and there will be shops selling them."
Wei Hong glanced at him and said mockingly: "Do you want to use your poor knowledge of marrow appraisal to cover up your behavior of taking advantage of others? Of course I am talking about the basics, and you are right, Wuling History
There are indeed cases where two-ring stones produce marrow, but that is just a special case and there is no rule to follow at all. You don’t think that these rotten stones you bought can also produce marrow, do you?”
Xia Chen looked at him calmly: "You mean the three stones I bought can't extract the marrow? How about we take a gamble?"
Wei Hong said disdainfully: "It seems that you are really stimulated by me. You want to make a comeback to prove us wrong, but I guess if you know who we are, you will be scared to death. You want to bet with me,
You are not qualified yet."
"Are you two from the Jiansui family, the Wei family?" Suddenly, Shan Yuxin, who had been silent for a while, exclaimed, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Just now, Wei Hong and his cousin took turns taking turns, but he never got a chance to speak. He was worried and angry because the two men had revealed the two-ring stone in Kunpeng's store, when he suddenly heard Wei Hong's name and asked him to see what he was doing.
A possibility suddenly occurred to me.
"Old man, you actually recognized us as members of the Wei family? What do you do?" Wei Hong was stunned.
Shan Yuxin did not dare to neglect and bowed deeply: "I am Shan Yuxin, a senior marrow connoisseur in Yuecheng. I am deeply honored to have the honor to meet Mr. Wei and Miss Wei."
Xia Chen's heart was slightly shocked. The Jiansuiwei family had such a thunderous name. Of course he had heard of it a long time ago.
In Wuling, Dali, to put it bluntly, almost half of the senior marrow appraisers are from the Wei family, and even many of the teachers of marrow appraisers in Wuling are from Wei family monks.
In terms of marrow identification, the Wei family is at the level of Mount Tai and Beidou around Wuling.
The Wei family has appraised tens of thousands of marrow stones, with a stable success rate of over 30%. Thirty percent may not seem like much, but for an industry with a very high error rate in marrow appraisal, it is already an unattainable level.
Moreover, the Wei family has a profound influence in Wuling, not only in terms of marrow appraisal, but also in terms of cultivation. It is a sixth-level family.
A sixth-level aristocratic family means that the ancestor of the aristocratic family or the person with the highest level of cultivation is a monk in the sixth level of supernatural power. This is already a figure second only to Master Su of Dali Wuling, the leader of the Tianlan Sect and the leader of the Yanzhao Alliance.
.
Even Dali Wuling attaches great importance to the Wei family and has close contacts with the top management of the Wei family. Many precious marrow stones and Yuan stone marrow are even sold directly to the Wei family.
Wei Hong looked at Shan Yuxin, then at Xia Chen, and seemed to understand something: "Mr. Shan, this country bumpkin hired you? You brought him to this store to buy the second ring stone? Hehe, do you know?
, have you violated the bottom line of a marrow appraiser?"
He looked half-smiling but not smiling. The current situation was obvious. Naturally, this old man was using his status as a senior marrow appraiser to deceive and deliberately let the bumpkin buy these waste rocks in order to make a profit.
Shan Yuxin was so surprised that his face turned pale and he broke into a cold sweat.
Not being able to kill Xia Chen would mean losing a good opportunity to make a fortune at most, but offending the young master of the Wei family, he, a little marrow appraiser, would lose even the capital for his family's life.
He trembled, almost knelt down, and said tremblingly: "The villain is confused and was temporarily blinded by lard. I hope Mr. Wei will be magnanimous and not punish..."
Wei Hong suddenly waved his hand to interrupt him: "Punishment? Why should I punish you? Even if it is punishment, it is not my turn. The Marrow Appraisal Association will handle it. Besides, you did a good job and it made me happy. I still want it.
Here’s a reward for you.”
As he spoke, he looked at Xia Chen with a frivolous and wanton smile.
When Shan Yuxin saw this scene, he didn't understand anything. He laughed quickly and said: "I don't dare to give you awards. As long as I can let Mr. Wei and Miss Wei vent their anger happily, I will have done a good deed."
He looked excited, as if he really felt that deceiving a country bumpkin from out of town was a very meritorious and fulfilling thing.
If you can hug the Wei family master's lap, it will be nothing to harm Xia Chen.
Xia Chen's face turned gloomy: "Mr. Shan, what do you mean? You deliberately brought me to this marrow stone shop and tricked me into buying these stones. Is it just to defraud me of my money? You said you were 60% sure in advance."
After the marrow is released, do you still want some facial expressions?"
Shan Yuxin had Wei Hong's support, so how could he be afraid of his questioning? He immediately sneered and said: "You don't realize Mr. Wei's good intentions, and you still speak harshly to others. As a senior marrow appraiser, although I am employed by you, I am aloof.
I still have professional ethics, and I disdain to associate with a junior like you, Mr. Chen Daoyou, our employment relationship ends here, and I will never accept your invitation again."
"Okay, that's well said." Wei Hong laughed, patted his shoulder and said, "Being employed by this country bumpkin is a disgrace to your reputation as a senior marrow appraiser. I'll tell my family immediately and I'll make arrangements for you.
A better job."
When Shan Yuxin heard this, his whole body couldn't help but feel weak, and he said quickly: "Thank you so much, Mr. Wei. How can I be so virtuous as a villain? If I can meet a close friend like you, Mr. Wei, I will go to pieces to repay my kindness."
Xia Chen said angrily: "Mr. Shan, don't forget, I paid you three days' salary in advance. Even if the employment is terminated, I have the right to terminate it. You haven't even thought about quitting for half a day.
Then give me the ten thousand yuan stone."
Shan Yuxin's old face tightened: "What a joke, when did you pay me? Ten thousand yuan back, country bumpkin, you are crazy about money. I have been working for a long time and I have not asked you for compensation. It is already generous. Why don't you still pay me?"
Want to beat him up?"
Xia Chen's face suddenly turned cold: "You want to default on your debt? Fellow Daoist Zhao was also present when I paid you the Yuan Stone that day. We can definitely sue you at the Marrow Appraisal Association!"
Shan Yu's confidence trembled. He had been so complacent just now that he actually forgot about the monk surnamed Zhao. If Xia Chen was asked to sue the Marrow Appraiser Guild, he really didn't know what to do.
Wei Hong said lightly: "Isn't it the Guild of Marrow Appraisers? You can go ahead and file a lawsuit. No matter what happens, my Wei family will take care of it. Marrow appraisers are always paid later, how can they pay in advance? Mr. Shan, this
It's not that easy for a country bumpkin to frame you, and to be fair, even though you worked for him for half a day, the reward has to be paid, and with me here, no one can harm your interests."
Shan Yuxin was overjoyed: "Thank you Mr. Wei for making the decision for me."
The squeamish girl raised her eyebrows and shouted to Xia Chen: "If you don't pay me back half a day's reward, do you still want to default on the debt? If you don't pay me today, you can't even think of walking out of this store."
Xia Chen was furious. He had no intention of provoking this man and woman. After all, the Wei family was famous. However, Wei Hong and his cousin got into trouble and refused to deal with them. He really thought he was easy to bully.
He was calculating in his mind and had an idea in an instant, so he deliberately looked like he was filled with righteous indignation: "You are just relying on local power to jointly trap me, a casual cultivator from out of town, and you have to pay you half a day's reward? If you want reward, then
Take these marrow stones I bought."
He patted his waist and took out the three wrapped marrow stones.
Shan Yuxin didn't even look at it, and sneered: "These two-ring stones are thrown on the street and no one wants them. Who do you think will look at them? I just said a few words casually, you country bumpkin just bought them as treasures.
Got off."
Wei Hong and the squeamish girl burst into laughter.
Xia Chen's face was ugly, as if he had been greatly stimulated, and he said sternly: "I personally selected these three marrow stones, and I did not buy them based on your deceitful words. There is definitely marrow in them. You think they are junk.
Then do you dare to bet with me?"
He mentioned the bet just now, and now he took the opportunity to deliberately mention it again.
Wei Hong said disdainfully: "Betting on marrow stones with a bumpkin like you who doesn't know anything is a disgrace to my identity as a marrow appraiser in Wuling. I told you that even if you want to bet, you must be qualified."
Shan Yuxin's eyes lit up and he whispered a few words to Wei Hong.
Wei Hong looked surprised, glanced at Xia Chen, and stopped objecting.
Just now, Shan Yuxin quietly told him about Xia Chen's net worth. Unexpectedly, this bumpkin was so rich. He even offered to gamble. This was a good opportunity to make a fortune...
