There were very few customers on this floor. The two waitresses were chatting. When they saw the woman bringing Gongsun Yan up in person, they quickly got up to greet her, with panic on their faces. Apparently the woman didn't come up often.
Gongsun Yan saw that the items sold on this floor were all treasures from heaven and earth. Many of the treasures could not be named by Gongsun Yan, let alone their use.
The woman took him directly to a display cabinet filled with various stones. The waitress immediately brought in chairs and tables, placed them nearby, invited Gongsun Yan to take a seat, and served him tea.
The woman put on her white gloves and carefully took out a dark rough stone from the display case, which was as big as a fist. The waitress also brought a pair of gloves for Gongsun Yan to put on.
Gongsun Yan took the stone and looked at it carefully. The whole stone was dark in color, without a trace of variegation, and had a warm and smooth appearance. Other than that, he could not see anything special about it.
Seeing Gongsun Yan's confused expression, the woman smiled sweetly and said softly:
"Young Master is just checking its appearance like this. If you really want to understand its secrets, you have to shed blood to identify its master. Do you want to give it a try, Master?"
Hearing this, Gongsun Yan was startled and asked with some vigilance:
"After I shed my blood and recognized my master, do I have to buy it?"
"Oh, that's not necessary. Our Chamber of Commerce will never buy or sell by force. Besides, my sister brought you here mainly to help you find the treasures you want. How can you deceive your brother?"
The woman said with some annoyance, but her tone was extremely gentle, and she continued:
"My little brother, I don't know. Almost all treasures of heaven, materials, and earth must be recognized by a drop of blood before they can be used or exert their effects. If you don't shed a blood to recognize the owner, how can you try out the secrets of it? But some buyers are afraid of losing blood.
After recognizing the owner, if you don’t buy the treasure, the blood essence and blood remaining inside will be stolen by the merchants and used for other purposes!”
When the woman spoke, she was very close and her breath was like blue. Gongsun Yan couldn't bear it. Within less than a cup of tea, he called her sister and brother, which really made Gongsun Yan feel "nervous".
However, she did give Gongsun Yan a lot of knowledge. When encountering such a situation in the future, he really cannot admit his master casually with blood.
Seeing that Gongsun Yan was silent, a hint of disappointment flashed in the woman's eyes, but she quickly covered it up and prepared to put away the rough stone. However, she still asked unwillingly:
"Brother, do you still want to try?"
"good!"
This time Gongsun Yan was very happy. Anyway, it was really not possible, so he just bought it. Now he was "not short of money".
Gongsun Yan immediately took off his gloves, bit his finger, and tried to inject his mind power into the black stone.
Suddenly, he was startled. His thoughts flowed into the black stone involuntarily, as if being pulled by someone. He immediately stopped exploring.
Seeing his embarrassed look, the woman smiled and asked:
"How is it? How do you feel?" The voice was very ambiguous.
"It feels like there is a suction force, as if it is trying to suck in all my thoughts." Gongsun Yan replied.
"Well, this is its secret. This kind of stone is called an 'energy storage stone'. It can be used to store excess energy. When you are exhausted from fighting with the enemy, you can use it to quickly replenish your physical strength. It is a rare treasure in the world of immortality.
!”
"Ah! If it's so magical, what effect does it have on concealing your cultivation?" Gongsun Yan was very surprised, and then he humbly asked the woman for advice.
"Brother, let me ask you, how do you see other people's cultivation?"
"Explore his 'aura'. Each cultivator will have a corresponding 'aura' at different stages of cultivation, and will have different effects on the surrounding air."
"It seems that my brother knows a lot. Energy fluctuations are the specific embodiment of 'aura', and its origin is the energy overflowing from the body of the cultivator himself. If there is something that can collect the energy overflowing from your body, or
If you block it, can others still detect your cultivation level?"
Hearing this, Gongsun Yan suddenly understood and immediately understood the function and value of this black stone. However, he could not ask anyone to test it on the spot. This thing must be shed with blood to identify its owner.
Suddenly, he had an idea and blurted out:
"Sister, what state do you think I am in now?" Involuntarily, Gongsun Yan also called her sister.
"Haha, I felt it after my brother shed his blood just now to recognize his master. You look no different from a mortal now, not like a cultivator at all. It means that the function of this thing to 'shield' your cultivation is better than the effect of taking the elixir.
Be good."
The woman replied that until now, she still believed that the reason why Gongsun Yan was able to conceal his realm was by taking pills.
Hearing this, Gongsun Yan was overjoyed, and he humbly asked for advice:
"Sister, will this thing become ineffective if cut into small pieces?"
"No, some people just grind it into the shape of a jade pendant or a jade plaque and hang it on their body. This way it can be used as a pendant and has an energy storage function. It kills two birds with one stone."
Gongsun Yan was elated. After searching for so long, he finally found the ideal treasure for him. The result was better than he originally imagined. After playing with it for a while, he suddenly realized something and asked quickly:
"Sister, this thing is so good, why don't you take it to auction?"
"Well, that's a good question! Although the thing is good, compared to the price, this thing is a bit useless. Except for going to the battlefield, no one would think about fighting every day. Besides, there is no need to hide your cultivation even if you go to the battlefield.
Unless someone from the Daocheng realm disguises himself as a low-level person and sneaks into the battlefield, once discovered, all rights and interests in the battlefield will be terminated, and the gain outweighs the loss." the woman explained.
"Is this thing expensive?" Gongsun Yan asked anxiously.
"It's not very expensive. The piece in my brother's hands costs half a million high-grade Yuan Stones!" the woman said, winking at Gongsun Yan.
"ah!"
Gongsun Yan was startled and almost dropped the stone on the ground. This thing was so valuable. The "compensation" he had just received could only buy two yuan.
"Brother, do you still want it? If you really want it, my sister will give you a 95% discount, and then erase the fraction and give you 470,000 high-grade Yuan Stones."
Hearing this, Gongsun Yan was speechless. He remembered that he still had a supreme card from the Chamber of Commerce.
Gongsun Yan reached into his arms and found that the two supreme cards were not there. He recalled them carefully and felt that they might have been thrown into the ring.
Gongsun Yandong's groping around made the woman mistakenly think that he didn't have that many stones, so he deliberately looked down the steps, so he said:
"My brother definitely won't carry so many Yuan Stones with him. You can go back and get them. Sister will keep them for you. It won't be too late to come back when you get the Yuan Stones. If my brother thinks about it clearly, it doesn't matter if he doesn't need this thing. My sister won't.
It’s your fault.”
The woman's words were impeccable, which saved Gongsun Yan's face without losing potential customers.
