Chapter 3873 No Business Without Deceit (Revised)

he other three Supreme EldersTheir attitude is unclear to me, but I have already informed them of your identity. They must surely be watching you at this moment!"Is it still unclear" Jiang Yun couldn'...Shang Zhenyu suddenly took the initiative to ask Su Qiandichen's opinion. If it were before, no one would think there was anything wrong with this.

After all, Su Qianchen is the first gem appraiser.

However, now, the gambling match between Jiang Yun and Su Qianchen is well known throughout the entire Sijinzhen city.

Especially those who had benefited yesterday from Jiang Yun's guidance and gained insights at Shitan Pavilion were even more enthusiastic in helping Jiang Yun spread the word throughout the city.

Therefore, it's not an exaggeration to say that Jiang Yun's current fame has surpassed Su Qianchen.

And at this very moment, Jiang Yun and Su Qianchen were almost standing opposite each other, separated by only a hundred zhang.

Shang Zhenyu must have already seen Jiang Yun, but she didn't go to ask for Jiang Yun's opinion, instead she went to ask Su Qianchen's opinion.

This behavior is rather intriguing.

Even, standing behind Jiang Yun, many cultivators had expressions of discontent, believing that Shang Zhenyu's actions clearly looked down on Jiang Yun.

To this, Jiang Yun was not bothered at all.

He already knew that Huangfu Yu and Su Qianchen had reached a cooperation. Therefore, at this appraisal meeting, Huangfu Yu and his people would not only deliberately target him, but they would also definitely take the opportunity to help Su Qianchen regain his reputation.

Of course, they would spare no effort to help Su Qianchen, so he could showcase the brilliance of his gem-identifying skills as much as possible.

Ginger Yun suspected that Su Qianchen might have already seen all the blood-sealed stones to be sold today, and it was even possible that he had tampered with them.

After all, as long as it's a blood-sealed stone he has tampered with, if there's something inside, it can at least possess the aura of an emperor. Naturally, this would drive up the price of the blood-sealed stones, bringing greater benefits to Stone Platform Pavilion and the entire demon race.

This is actually quite normal. If it were Jiang Yun, Jiang Yun wouldn't mind doing this either.

But while Su Qianchen's movements could deceive others, they couldn't escape the notice of Jiang Yun.

Moreover, Jiang Yun now wished that no one would pay attention to him so he could seize the time and read as many Blood Sealing Stones as possible. He didn't have the energy to care about the petty schemes between Su Qianchen and the demon race.

Su Qianchen, hearing Shang Zhenyu's question, glanced at Jiang Yun intentionally or unintentionally, then smiled faintly: "I think the probability that there are things in these blood-sealed stones auctioned today will be very high."

"However, I haven't seen these blood-sealed stones before and can't judge them, so Miss Shang let me choose. I could only rely on my intuition and pick one at random."

Su Qianchen's gaze swept over all the blood-sealed stones, and he smiled, "That one with the lightest color isn't bad, there might be a surprise inside!"

Hearing Su Qianchen's words, despite not paying him any mind, Jiang Yun's gaze and divine sense immediately turned to the blood-sealed stone.

Because next, Shang Zhenyu will inevitably choose this blood-sealed stone to auction.

And if there were something inside, and it possessed the aura of an emperor, then it would be enough to prove that Su Qiand Chen had indeed preemptively looked at these blood seal stones and made preparations.

At this time, Shang Zhenyu also smiled sweetly, stretched out her hand, and that piece of bloodstone with the lightest color had already flown into her hand.

She held up the blood-sealed stone high and said: "As we all know, Master Su has always been recognized as the number one gemologist. So today, borrowing Master Su's auspicious words and to seek good luck, our first blood-sealed stone to be auctioned is the one chosen by Master Su."

"The starting bid is 300,000 Emperor Stones!"

To be honest, this price isn't that high.

Among the five shops, some bloodstone was priced at 300,000 more.

But, the thrill of the Appraisal Conference lies in the auction process.

Although the starting price is low, some bloodstone eventually sell for prices that far exceed anyone's imagination.

And this is also the reason why the five major stores are very willing to hold a treasure appraisal meeting.

"Is there anyone bidding"

As he spoke, Shang Zhenyu lightly raised his wrist. The Blood Sealing Stone immediately flew into the air and slowly rotated again, allowing everyone to get a closer look and decide whether to bid.

Although no one spoke up for the moment, most people knew in their hearts that even if someone was hired as a pawn, there would definitely be someone willing to bid.

After all, if no one bids, Su Qiand Chen's face will be completely ruined.

As expected, moments later a voice rang out: "350,000 Emperor Origin Stones!"

"Great!"

Hearing the sound, Shang Zhenyu once again reached out and drew the blood-sealed stone back into his hand.

And with her other hand, a stone-cutting blade appeared: "Since someone has placed a bid, I shall begin cutting the stone now."

"Each person's bid must not be lower than 50,000 Imperial Source Stones."

"Once someone makes a bid, if no one raises the price within five breaths, then the blood-sealed stone belongs to the bidder. And this person has the right to decide whether to continue cutting the stone!"

Of course, if someone is always bidding, then anyone has a chance until all the stones are cut!

Shang Zhenyu's words surprised Jiang Yun a little.

He originally thought that haggling began at the stone cutting stage and continued until the end.

There is a time limit.

However, upon closer thought, Jiang Yun also understood why this had to be done.

Because if there were no time limits, many people could wait until the last minute to bid.

In that case, the price increase wouldn't be too much.

And once there is a time limit, it will create a sense of urgency for everyone.

Especially during the process of bidding on stones, if people see anything unusual, many people can't help but continue to bid.

As soon as his words fell, Shang Zhenyu stopped talking and the chisel in his hand whirred into action.

Within the vast building, silence fell instantly.

Besides the five elders standing around Shang Zhenyu, all other people's eyes were fixed on the blood-sealed stone in his hand.

It is not difficult to see that Shang Zhenyu not only possesses great strength but also has extensive experience in stone carving. His knife skills are profound, and his speed is extremely fast.

After dozens of breaths, the Blood Sealing Stone's volume had shrunk by one-third.

And at that very moment, a white light suddenly shot out from within the Blood Sealing Stone.

This beam of white light, like hot oil dropped into cold water, instantly ignited the emotions of most people.

Immediately, a cultivator spoke up with the second price: "400,000!"

Before the previous voice could even finish, someone else shouted out a price: "Four hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Five hundred thousand!"

In short, from this moment on, the sound of bidding began to rise and fall incessantly.

And while most people might not have noticed, Ginger Yun could see that Shang Zhenyu's stone-cutting speed had subtly slowed down amidst the clamor of bids.

"No business without deceit!"

After making this judgment in his heart, Jiang Yun finally broke the seal of the blood-sealed stone and saw inside, three white petals.

And upon one of the petals, a scarlet streak of blood.

A cold smile involuntarily appeared on Jiang Yun's face.

This must have been tampered with by Su Qianchen, that bloodstain is definitely the result of Su Qianchen using the seal to transfer the emperor's blood onto the petal.

However, even if Su Qianchen didn't make a move 【51 fo】, these three petals were also extremely rare items.

Ginger Cloud remembered, they were called Wu Zhi Lan. If all five pieces were complete, the price would be around five million Emperor Source Stones.

If there is only one piece, the price of each piece is also around 500,000.

"Perhaps this was intentionally done by Huangfu Yu and Su Qianchen, to create a grand opening."

After all, if the first thing cut out has too low a value, it would discourage many people's enthusiasm.

"Boom!"

Just as Jiang Yun finished this thought, a white light shot out from the Blood Sealing Stone again! The two beams of white light responded to each other in the air, and also caused everyone's blood to begin boiling.

Of course, the price also started another round of crazy surge and soon reached one million.

Hearing the already somewhat frenzied shouts, Ginger Cloud knew it was almost time! Sure enough, with a flick of Shang Zhenyu's wrist, a "crack" sound echoed as the Blood Sealing Stone was sliced open, revealing its three petal-like inner sections!e out their origins.These cultivators were not very old and came from various different races.
