The Beilao clan head having a soul light bead was completely out of the expectations of Shirong, so much so that he had to improvise on the spot. He thought of potential solutions at a lightning speed and ca up with his current excuse.
He gritted his teeth and took out the strange rock that he had obtained from the bottom of the underground lake. He realized that it could be mistaken as the Armour or shell of so kind and besides, they did not know what the beast looked like in reality anyway.
He ca to this solution as he had seen an armor shearing talisman in the storage ring of the Beilao clan heir. The Armor shearing talisman's function was exactly what its na ant. It was a one ti use talisman that could weaken and break the armor of a cultivator or a beast. Even if it was a mid grade talisman and it was still quite a bit valuable.
The expressions of everyone in the room fell after they saw the piece of rock in the hands of Young Master Shirong. They were also surprised upon hearing that the Beilao clan heir actually had an armor shearing talisman in addition to a soul light bead.
"This…" the Beilao clan had uttered with difficulty.
To be honest, even Beilao clan head was unsure of whether Young Master Shirong was truly lying or not. He was rely throwing plausible explanations and seeing what would stick. Even with the soul light bead, Beilao clan Head knew that a lot of things could have happened, and the explanation that Young Master Shirong was possibly correct.
But now that he had said that he saw his son use an armor shearing talisman and the piece of armor that he had in his hand, he couldn't help but get doubtful.
"Clan head Lu, please take a look and give your verdict. Anyone else that wants to test it can do it as well." Young Master Shirong said in a calm voice.
"Alright, if Young Master Shirong is fine with it then I'll do it," Clan head Lu said before taking the beast carapace fragnt in his hand.
He scanned it with his spirit sense and furrowed his brows. Five minutes passed and even now he could not get to a conclusion. Finally, he opened his eyes with a frown on his face.
"I'm afraid, I cannot even get an inkling of what this thing is. But if the characteristics of the beast that Young Master Shirong told are correct, then it matches up. This fragnt of shell or whatever it is definitely belongs to a beast I can tell this much. There are extrely faint traces of a beast's aura on it too." Clan head Lu stated.
~Gasp~
A collative gasp was heard in the room as the people in the hall tensed up. With clan head Lu's verdict, they were fully convinced about it now.
While Young Master Shirong had a calm look on his face, he too was freaking out internally.
'What! It truly is a beast's shell?' Shirong thought.
He thought over a bit more and then realized that he had forgotten an important factor.
~Sigh~
'My cultivation had regressed, no wonder my sensitivity has fallen. Even if it is still equivalent to that of a pseudo nascent soul realm cultivator, the injuries I have are still restricting . Not to ntion clan head Lu has the highest cultivation in this room, being at the Nascent soul realm.' Shirong realized.
anwhile, Lin Wu was a bit dumbfounded inside the ring.
"What? How did they co to that conclusion that fast? Is this guy's Shirong's ability less than that old clan head? But he's been appearing so submissive to him." Lin Wu said to himself as he kept on watching.
Lin Wu had only expected that they would at most be mistaken about the origin of that fragnt and would just think of it as sothing mysterious. But things were going even better than he thought, and that too within the confines of his plan.
"No, wait… is it possible that these clans may take that beast fragnt? No! That cannot happen. It may throw a wrench into my plan and I don't know if this guy Shirong will be able to take it back. Looking at his current situation, it already seems like he's freeballing it…" Lin Wu thought out loud.
But just as Lin Wu thought of this, Shirong spoke.
"Clan heads and gentlen, if you so give the permission, I would like to ask my clan's ancestor to analyze and appraise it himself. Of course, that is if it is fine with you all. If you have doubts about my credibility or the clan, you are free to do it yourself." Shirong declared.
~Gulp~
The people who had been in displeasure with Young Master Shirong gulped with fear. They knew that now that Young Master Shirong had involved his ancestor in it, they could not do much. While it would be fine and they would not be in any danger if they chose to take that piece of beast shell, they knew that the ancestor of Young Master Shirong's clan was no simple.
In fact, the ancestor had not even been seen out in the real world in the past five hundred years and so even wondered if he was still alive. They had heard of the rumors that surrounded the clan of Young Master Shirong and even more so of their ancestor.
In this hall, there was no one that was even close to that age and were thus in the complete in the blind about his ancestor. But for a clan as powerful as Young Master Shirong's it was evident that the cultivation of their ancestor must be at the Dao Shell realm at the very least if not the Dao treading realm.
"Young Master Shirong, what are you even saying, there's no way in a thousand years we would ever dare to dishonor your clan's ancestor. Please go ahead if the Ji clan ancestor cannot appraise it then are we even qualified to have a look?" Clan Head Lu said in a nervous tone.
"Hmm, so the clan that this Young Master Shirong belongs to is called the Ji clan, interesting…" Lin Wu muttered.
