Chapter 285: Chapter 286: Treasure Appraisal (5th Update) (Please Bookmark, Tip, and Recommend)

Chu Fengmian spoke and with a wave of his hand, ten billion Nine Tripods Pills flew directly into the hands of Pavilion Master Mu.

Pavilion Master Mu, playing the role of a witness, was in charge of guarding this wealth, totaling twenty billion Nine Tripods Pills.

Whoever won the bet, he would give the treasure to.

Master Mu also did not hesitate at all. He handed over countless rare treasures to Pavilion Master Mu all at once, betting all his assets in one go.

"The rules for this gambling battle are very simple, limited to five minutes. Whoever identifies what this treasure really is can convey the name to me through sound transmission and explain its use. Whoever is correct will be declared the winner."

Pavilion Master Mu announced.

This type of gambling battle was one of the simplest in the Pavilion of Exquisite Treasures, just identifying the origin and name of the treasure.

Whoever was correct would be the winner.

Although it was the simplest of gambling battles, this contest had attracted countless onlookers.

Many people who were not from the Pavilion of Exquisite Treasures came specifically to witness this unparalleled gambling battle where each staked ten billion Nine Tripods Pills, a total of twenty billion.

Twenty billion Nine Tripods Pills was an amount they would not see in their entire lives, and now it was all on a single bet.

Countless people came to watch, each one of them excited.

"Begin!"

With Pavilion Master Mu’s command, a five-minute countdown began.

Master Mu walked over to the rock, which was as tall as a person, and kept inspecting and observing it meticulously, truly embodying the demeanor of a master appraiser.

On the other side, Chu Fengmian appeared very mysterious. Standing still, he merely glanced at the rock twice before quietly closing his eyes, seemingly resting.

Could he have discerned the origin of this treasure just with a brief glance?

Seeing Chu Fengmian not even moving to take a closer look, the crowd below began to buzz with speculation.

"What background does this young man have to dare bet ten billion Nine Tripods Pills and now just stand there motionless?"

"Could it be that this young fellow wanted to intimidate Master Mu at first, but now he is stuck as he knows nothing about appraising?"

"It shouldn’t be, I saw him competing with Master Mu several times just now, and he even won."

"Ha, that must be because Master Mu did not want to stoop to the level of the younger generation. How could a youngster possibly outperform Master Mu in appraisal?"

People talked amongst themselves, looking at Chu Fengmian with jealousy, disdain, and sneers.

However, among all the discussion, no one believed that Chu Fengmian could surpass Master Mu.

The way of appraisal, unlike the martial arts, does not allow for shortcuts just through talent and encounters.

To learn the art of appraisal, one must first read extensively. Given Chu Fengmian’s current disguise as a middle-aged man, at most in his thirties or forties, how much could he have read?

Master Mu was a revered Semi-Saint, having lived for two to three hundred years. Their knowledge was not on the same level.

Thus, no one felt that Chu Fengmian could win.

After all, they could not guess that within Chu Fengmian’s young body resided an ancient being, nearly a thousand years old.

In terms of experience and knowledge, Chu Fengmian was not afraid of anyone.

"Time is up!"

The five minutes quickly passed.

During this time, Chu Fengmian stood still, hands behind his back, motionless, as if he had conceded.

"We’re about to win!"

The most excited person present was Zhao Duanqiao. Now, if Master Mu won, he could also claim five billion Nine Tripods Pills.

Moreover, it was an excellent opportunity to severely embarrass Chu Fengmian.

To let Chu Fengmian target him everywhere in the Pavilion of Exquisite Treasures, it was now time to slap Chu Fengmian’s face.

"Hmph, youngster, you are still too green to compete against this old man."

Master Mu walked back from the huge rock and looked at Chu Fengmian with disdain, his expression full of confidence.

Chu Fengmian, however, remained indifferent, even in the face of Master Mu’s provocation, maintaining his usual calm.

To Master Mu, this was even more indicative of Chu Fengmian’s intention to concede.

Given the personality Chu Fengmian had just displayed, why would he now remain so quiet? There was only one possibility, that Chu Fengmian was certain of his defeat, without any confidence, hence his silence.

"Both of you, have you quietly conveyed the name of this treasure through Spiritual Sense?"

Pavilion Master Mu asked.

Chu Fengmian and Master Mu simultaneously transmitted two different names to Pavilion Master Mu.

"Oh?"

Hearing the two distinctly different names, Pavilion Master Mu paused for a moment and then involuntarily glanced at Master Mu.

This action convinced many in the audience that Master Mu was surely the winner.

"This youngster really came to concede his wealth, why didn’t he wager with me? If it were me, I’d have bet all my property against him."

One Martial Artist said greedily.

Ten billion Nine Tripods Pills, how wonderful it would be to win that, enough to establish a sect outside.

"Stop dreaming, even if he gambled with you, do you think you could produce ten billion Nine Tripods Pills by staking all your property?"

Another Martial Artist snorted.

"Let’s watch the gambling battle."

"What’s there to see? Master Mu has surely won, is there any suspense?"

...

"Which of you will start explaining what exactly this treasure is?"

Pavilion Master Mu looked at Chu Fengmian and Master Mu and asked.

The content of this gambling duel was not just to name the treasure but also to detail its origin and function. Otherwise, it would not be considered a victory.

Master Mu laughed confidently and addressed Chu Fengmian.

"Let the youngster speak first, lest it be said I bully the young."

"Better you speak first, lest soon you won’t even have the chance to speak."

Chu Fengmian looked at Master Mu and shook his head, as if implying that whatever Master Mu was about to say was definitely wrong.

This scene caused many in the audience to burst into laughter.

"This kid probably can’t even speak."

"Even if he can’t say it, he could fabricate something, right? Why stubbornly save face?"

"Forget it, let him speak is meaningless. Let’s listen directly to Master Mu."

This rock had been in the Pavilion of Exquisite Treasures for many years, and no one had yet discerned its origin.

Many in attendance now also wanted to find out exactly what this rock was.

"This rock is called the Pure Yang Dragon Stone."

Master Mu looked at the crowd and walked up to the rock, starting to explain slowly.
