Chapter 27 Why are other people’s children so outstanding?

……

Chen Xuanmo, who was in the heroic spirit state, nodded secretly. He was right. This thing was not as simple as cold jade.

Because after Chen Jingyun had an epiphany and was promoted last night, Chen Xuanmo did not waste any purple energy to give him another purple mark.

It seems that this should be an opportunity brought to him by Jing Yun's own style of doing things, and has nothing to do with the purple air.

Chen Xuanmo was somewhat relieved that his great-grandson's name "Jingyun" was not wrong. He himself was a person with opportunity, but under the influence of purple energy, the opportunity was a little exaggerated.

"So this is Ice Marrow." Su Yushan finally realized what was happening, feeling a little embarrassed. "It has a layer of skin on the outside, and I didn't recognize it at first."

"I told you to read the Wanbao Chronicle more often, but you didn't listen and just idled around all day long." Su Yuanbai seemed to have found an outlet for his anger, and he started to scold his grandson. "Today you can't recognize the ice marrow, tomorrow you can't recognize the fire heart, and the day after tomorrow you might miss something. Tell me, how can you inherit my legacy?"

Su Yushan was stunned by the scolding, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Didn't you miss the small Juling Pei the day before yesterday, and Chen Jingyun got a great bargain.

How much of a shock did Chen Jingyun give you?

Although he kept muttering in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything back. He could only hang his hands down and remain silent, pretending to be humble and willing to learn.

After venting his anger, Su Yuanbai calmed down a little and explained to Chen Jingyun, "Ice marrow is a rare natural treasure, mostly used in refining spiritual tools for cultivators in the foundation-building stage."

"However, some people also use it to refine magical instruments, but it is too extravagant, and it is usually only used to refine high-quality magical instruments."

Spiritual weapon? Top-grade magical weapon?
Chen Jingyun was slightly surprised: "So, this ice marrow is not cheap?"

"Of course." Su Yuanbai blew his beard and glared at him. "Although your ice marrow is not big, it is worth about a hundred spirit stones. If there are customers who are in urgent need of it at the auction, it is possible that it can be sold for 150 spirit stones."

At this point, Su Yuanbai sighed helplessly. As a professional foundation-building cultivator, his annual salary was only 180 spirit stones. After deducting various expenses, he still had to save up the foundation-building pills for that little bastard Su Yushan.

And Chen Jingyun, the kid, picked up money and bargains, and now he meets someone who wants to repay a favor with ice marrow...

It's really irritating to people.

The more Su Yuanbai thought about it, the angrier he got. He couldn't help but glare at Su Yushan again. We are all young talents, why can't you take advantage of the opportunity?
One hundred and fifty spirit stones!
Wouldn’t that be more than picking up a spirit stone storage bag?

Chen Jingyun was delighted, but secretly felt it was a pity. If this was a material belonging to the metal element, he could have commissioned a powerful weapon refiner to make a magic weapon for him.

But even so, it's still a big profit.

This small piece of ice marrow is worth 10% of the market's annual net profit.

"Senior Su, isn't the Treasure Pavilion going to hold an auction soon? Let's sell this ice marrow." Chen Jingyun thought to himself, he also needed to find a mid-grade magic weapon recently, so he would try not to spend the spirit stones at home and save some resources for the family.

"That's fine too." Su Yuanbai said, "Ice marrow has high requirements for weapon refiners. It's more troublesome to refine a magic weapon, and it also requires a lot of other precious materials. Yushan, what are you standing there for? Why don't you handle the auction procedures for Jingyun?"

He was originally quite satisfied with his grandson Su Yushan, but today, he just couldn't stand him no matter how he looked at him.

Su Yushan, who had suffered an unexpected disaster, smiled bitterly in his heart and handled the auction procedures for Chen Jingyun with extraordinary honesty.

After completing the handover of the auction items.

Su Yuanbai came forward and lowered his voice and said, "Jingyun, I heard that you want a mid-grade magic weapon?"

"Could it be that Senior Su has stock?" Chen Jingyun's eyes lit up.

"No." Su Yuanbai shook his head decisively.

Chen Jingyun was speechless.

You don't have any stock, why are you making such a gesture?

"Boy, have you ever heard of gambling on treasures?" Su Yuanbai asked mysteriously.

"Gambling on treasures?" Chen Jingyun frowned slightly. "I heard that there are some mobile vendors who specialize in collecting treasures that are difficult to distinguish between real and fake, and cheat people out of money in various markets." "It can't be said that they are all cheating, otherwise the officials of various markets would not tolerate them." Su Yuanbai explained with a smile, "But if you want to buy real things at the gambling stall, you must test your eyesight and luck in treasure appraisal. If you are lucky enough, you may get dozens or even a hundred times the reward!"

At this point, Su Yuanbai's eyes were filled with pride: "I once relied on my appraisal skills to find a mid-grade magic weapon and earned more than a hundred spirit stones. I see that you are so lucky, why not spend a little money to try your luck."

In fact, he saw that Chen Jing was very lucky and felt itchy, so he wanted to ask him to go and try his luck with him.

"Not interested." Chen Jingyun refused without hesitation.

"Why?" Su Yuanbai was a little surprised. "You have been very lucky recently, so there is a high probability that you will win the bet."

"We, a family of immortal cultivators, have always made a living by accumulating assets and earning long-term stable income." Chen Jingyun said solemnly, "I have only heard of the word 'gambling', which has caused people to lose their fortunes since ancient times, but I have never heard of anyone getting rich by gambling."

“Maybe you are lucky today and can make a small profit, but once you get addicted to gambling, you will lose everything you put in with interest sooner or later.”

Su Yuanbai smiled and said, "Do you still want your mid-grade magic weapon? Without a mid-grade magic weapon, how can you compete with Zhao Junfei and Zheng Lingyun?"

"Senior Su actually knew about this?" Chen Jingyun asked in surprise.

"Our Sheshan Market is such a small place, how many new things can there be?" Su Yuanbai said with a smile, "Besides, I am a foundation-building cultivator after all, so I naturally have my own connections and informants."

This time, Chen Jingyun pondered for a while and made a decision: "In this case, I will accompany Senior Su on this trip. I hope that Senior Su can use his appraisal ability to find a mid-grade magic weapon that suits my needs, and I will spend the spirit stones to buy it."

In fact, Chen Jingyun also knew that the chance of getting a mid-grade magic weapon that suited him at the treasure gambling stall was extremely low.

But now that the competition is imminent, there is no other good way.

Losing to Zheng Lingyun was okay, but Chen Jingyun definitely didn't want to lose to Zhao Junfei, and he believed that if he could avoid using the Xuanmo Lingjian, he would definitely not use it.

Otherwise, if the Zhao family loses this battle, they may not admit their mistakes, and there will probably be complications.

"Haha, then I'll take your good words." Su Yuanbai smiled happily.

It is true that he is good at identifying treasures and his eyesight is far better than other foundation-building cultivators, but if he can rely on these to win at the treasure gambling stalls, then why does he come out to work? He can just wander from one market to another and rob those treasure gambling stalls.

In fact, if Su Yuanbai wants to win the bet, in addition to his own strong identification ability, he also has to rely on luck.

This is also the reason why he insisted on asking Chen Jingyun to accompany him.

"Jingyun, please wait for a moment." Su Yuanbai's figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, Su Yuanbai appeared again, but his image had changed drastically.

Although Su Yuanbai was old, he still looked quite handsome in his green robe with fluttering sleeves.

But now, he is wearing coarse linen clothes, has a goatee, a sallow complexion, a hunched body, and his temperament looks extremely vulgar.

Chen Jingyun stared wide-eyed, but he couldn't recognize him.

"Jingyun, my disguise skills are pretty good, right?" Su Yuanbai said proudly, "It's all because I'm too famous in the appraisal industry that the gambling stall owners are reluctant to do business with me."

"By the way, Jingyun, you should also put on some makeup. You exude the aura of 'I am rich and easy to cheat', and you will be taken advantage of."

Su Yushan objected, "Grandpa, I think Brother Jingyun doesn't need to wear makeup. Only when he looks so inexperienced will those gambling stall owners be so enthusiastic about promoting him. Who knows, he might just burst into good fortune and get another chance."

Chen Jingyun was completely speechless.

This grandfather and grandson are really good at talking.

No one noticed that there was another imperceptible purple mark on Chen Jingyun's forehead.
