Qin Feng picked up the Bronze Furnace, chuckled, and said, "I’ll choose this treasure that you lost to ."
"Choose it?"
Having been tricked several tis, Shangguan Yan knew she needed to learn from her past mistakes.
"Why would you choose it?" she asked.
"Because it’s worthless! I’ve already fleeced you three tis. If I fleece you again, I might just make you cry!"
Qin Feng lied.
Shangguan Yan didn’t quite believe what Qin Feng said.
She always felt that this kid might be deceiving her again.
So, she picked up the Bronze Furnace and started inspecting it carefully.
After a long ti, she still couldn’t figure out anything special.
This Bronze Furnace had been sitting there for a long ti, always treated by her as junk.
Last ti, Shangguan Yan thought it was taking up space and almost threw it away.
Qin Feng’s choice of this Bronze Furnace was sowhat incomprehensible to Shangguan Yan.
Could it be that this Bronze Furnace was also a treasure?
"I don’t believe it."
Shangguan Yan didn’t say much, only replying with these three words.
"So it is a treasure, a priceless one. Now you must believe it, right?"
"What makes you say it’s a priceless treasure? Co on, show the evidence!"
She could give the Bronze Furnace to Qin Feng since a bet is a bet!
But, Shangguan Yan didn’t want to let it go without understanding the situation; she needed clarity.
She had to figure out what secret was hidden inside this Bronze Furnace.
"Do you really want to know the truth? Sotis, happiness lies in ignorance. The more truths you know, the more pain you endure. Knowing the truth, you’ll be the one with chest pain from anger."
As Qin Feng spoke, he instinctively glanced over.
Well, it was quite big.
Sure enough, his wandering eye was caught by Shangguan Yan.
She glared at Qin Feng and scolded irritably, "Dog of a man!"
"Dare to curse , then I won’t tell you the truth. You’ll never get to know what secret this Bronze Furnace holds."
Having said that, Qin Feng was ready to leave with the four treasures he had obtained.
Shangguan Yan felt as restless as a heart scratched by a kitten, overwheld with curiosity.
She was determined to figure out what secret lay inside that Bronze Furnace.
Of course, she wouldn’t just let Qin Feng leave.
She blocked his way and said fiercely, "You’re not going anywhere!"
"Why can’t I leave? You’re not my wife; what right do you have to control ?"
"Brat, are you flirting with ?"
"Flirting with you? With your looks that are just so-so, do I seem like I’d bother to flirt with you? If you weren’t in my way, I wouldn’t even bother talking to you."
"Today, unless you make it clear what secret this Bronze Furnace holds, don’t even think about leaving this place!"
"Alright! I’ll tell you! Anyway, when the truth is revealed later, the one with chest pain from anger won’t be , it’ll be you!"
Qin Feng picked up the Bronze Furnace and slamd it to the ground.
Crash!
Instantly, gold light radiated in all directions.
The outer shell of the Bronze Furnace cracked, revealing the golden body inside.
This was not a Bronze Furnace, but a small gold furnace made of 24K pure gold.
Seven lively Golden Dragons were engraved on the small gold furnace.
This was the Seven-Dragon Alchemy Furnace, used by the Moral Celestial Honored One, also known as the Supre Elder Lord, before his ascension.
Watching the Bronze Furnace turn into a small gold furnace, Shangguan Yan’s chest indeed began to ache.
Although she did not recognize the origin of this small gold furnace, her intuition told her it was an invaluable treasure.
"This..."
Shangguan Yan pointed at the Seven-Dragon Alchemy Furnace and asked, "What’s this little golden furnace called?"
"The Seven-Dragon Alchemy Furnace? What’s the story behind it? Does it have so kind of tale?"
"This Seven-Dragon Alchemy Furnace, legend has it, was used by the Supre Elder Lord before his ascension to refine elixirs. It was by consuming the elixirs refined from this very furnace that the venerable elder successfully ascended."
"Used by the Supre Elder Lord? You must be kidding, right? There are no gods in this world."
Shangguan Yan picked up the Seven-Dragon Alchemy Furnace and scrutinized it carefully.
"This thing does appear to be made of pure gold. However, the furnace looks very new and does not resemble an antique. Thus, its value should probably be based on the weight of the gold."
Having said that, Shangguan Yan placed the alchemy furnace on the scale used for weighing dicine.
"It weighs roughly two jin, one kilogram. Based on the current price of gold, it should be worth around four to five hundred thousand. As for the three treasures you brought in, I’ve already given you the excess value, so this four to five hundred thousand won’t be missed."
Shangguan Yan, with great generosity, handed the Seven-Dragon Alchemy Furnace back to Qin Feng.
She knew the furnace was worth far more than four to five hundred thousand; it was definitely a treasure.
However, she did not want to admit it.
Having made a bet, one must accept the loss with grace!
Besides, as long as she had not left the gambling table, it was still uncertain who would end up winning or losing in the end!
Shangguan Yan believed that Qin Feng would definitely co back.
The four treasures she let Qin Feng win this ti, she was certain she would find an opportunity to win them back from him, with interest.
Seeing Shangguan Yan’s magnanimity, Qin Feng was sowhat surprised.
However, from her gaze, Qin Feng could tell that this woman was thinking of a long ga.
Having fleeced her so badly today, it was only fair to give sothing back to her.
"Do you have paper and a pen?" Qin Feng suddenly asked.
"What do you want to do?"
"I’ll write a prescription for you to fill the dicine according to."
Shangguan Yan brought over so paper and a writing brush, which were a brush and xuan paper.
Qin Feng picked up the brush and began to write with flourish.
Seeing the characters on the xuan paper, Shangguan Yan was astonished.
The way this young man wrote was bold and unrestrained, elegant and lofty, definitely unique and superb calligraphy!
Few calligraphers in this day and age could match such vigor in their strokes.
Shangguan Yan’s interest in Qin Feng was growing stronger and stronger.
Most won are highly interested in n who possess talents.
After examining the handwriting, she then looked at the prescription Qin Feng wrote.
Shangguan Yan was puzzled.
"Is this a prescription?" she asked.
"No."
"That’s good, I was about to say, your prescription looks all haphazard and doesn’t make any sense. If it’s not a prescription, what do you need these dicines for?"
"I’m going to make pills and need to mix these herbs for that purpose."
"The dicinal ingredients listed in your prescription are not cheap! According to the dosage you’ve written, it will cost at least twenty to thirty million."
Shangguan Yan was aiming to take a big cut from Qin Feng.
Although the dicines Qin Feng had listed were indeed all precious herbs,
their combined price couldn’t possibly co to twenty or thirty million!
With the dosage he required, it would at most cost around five million.
"Twenty or thirty million, are you trying to take for a ride?"
"If you find it too expensive, you can have it prepared elsewhere. According to your prescription, several of the herbs can only be found at Cauldron dicine Pavilion at their highest quality. Other places may have them, but the quality isn’t as good."
After finishing her words, Shangguan Yan opened the dicine cabinet, casually took out a few herbs, and pushed them towards Qin Feng.
She was confident that Qin Feng would recognize their true value.
Daring to take advantage of him, she of course had full confidence in the quality of her own rchandise.
