Chapter 187: Chapter 187: Black Turtle Armor_1
Looking at the bloody Angelica in Qin Feng’s hands, Shangguan Yan was stunned.
This...
How is this possible?
Could this really be Blood-Activating Angelica?
Although her eyes had accepted it, Shangguan Yan was still reluctant to concede.
"True Blood-Activating Angelica has a faint scent of blood. Does yours have it?"
"Why don’t you take a sniff and see for yourself?"
Qin Feng handed the Blood-Activating Angelica to Shangguan Yan.
Shangguan Yan took the Blood-Activating Angelica and brought it to her nose.
With a gentle sniff, she detected a faint smell of blood.
This blood scent was mixed with a medicinal fragrance, the characteristic scent of Blood-Activating Angelica.
Shangguan Yan’s mind went blank with a buzz.
She couldn’t believe this was truly Blood-Activating Angelica, and moreover, it was a top-quality one.
"Well, is this Blood-Activating Angelica or not?"
Shangguan Yan’s face showed her frustration, but eventually, she nodded and said, "Indeed, this is Blood-Activating Angelica, and its value is indeed over a million. You’ve won the second round. However, this time you just got lucky again. There can be a first and a second time, but not a third. Your turtle shell can’t possibly be worth over a million. So, with best two out of three, you’ll still lose in the end. You’re going to have to concede that thousand-year-old ginseng to me! If you concede, I can offer you three million for this Blood-Activating Angelica and buy it from you."
"Offering three million? I paid you three million in hard cash for those three medicinal herbs. This Blood-Activating Angelica is top-quality and worth at least five million. Besides, if I concede, I’ll still have to lose that thousand-year-old ginseng to you. You see, I’m the kind of person who doesn’t mind taking advantage, but suffering a loss, that’s absolutely unacceptable."
"The first two rounds, we ended up at a tie, 1:1. This final round is crucial."
Shangguan Yan picked up the turtle shell, weighed it in her hand, rubbed it with her fingers, then brought it to her nose for a sniff.
Eventually, she was certain.
This turtle shell was nothing special, just an ordinary one.
Holding the turtle shell, Shangguan Yan asked Qin Feng with a smiling face, "Since you’re so confident that you can win the third round, tell me, how much do you think this turtle shell is worth?"
Qin Feng didn’t answer directly, instead, he held up five fingers.
"It looks like you know your stuff! Aware that this thing is worth no more than five hundred at most."
"Did I say five hundred? This is not an ordinary turtle shell, it’s worth fifty million!"
Qin Feng’s words were like a fantasy, and they made Shangguan Yan burst into laughter.
"Fifty million? Even if this turtle shell were made of gold and inlaid with diamonds, it wouldn’t be worth fifty million!"
"A golden turtle shell is not as valuable as this one. This is Black Turtle Armor!"
"Black Turtle Armor?"
Shangguan Yan frowned slightly and said, "Black Turtle Armor is a mystical medicine. It is only produced from the shells of turtles that have lived for over ten thousand years in places with rich Spiritual Energy and have died a natural death. If this were Black Turtle Armor, just by holding it, you would be able to feel the abundant Spiritual Energy radiating from it. But this shell has no trace of Spiritual Energy, it’s definitely not Black Turtle Armor, just an ordinary shell!"
Qin Feng picked up the turtle shell and flicked it lightly with his finger.
Thump!
Thump!
The turtle shell began to vibrate.
After the vibrations, the outer shell cracked right open, and pieces fell to the ground with a clatter.
A transparent shell, resembling crystal, appeared in Qin Feng’s hand.
A thin layer of mist enveloped the shell, making it look as if it was shrouded in an ethereal spiritual mist.
That’s not immortal energy, that’s spiritual energy, the spiritual energy of the Black Turtle Armor.
The Black Turtle Armor can be used directly in medicine, but that would be too wasteful.
Qin Feng planned to carefully carve it and turn it into a vessel for holding pills.
Placing pills inside the Black Turtle Armor would amplify their effects, even by tenfold.
If the Black Turtle Armor was properly nourished, it could absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and its own spiritual energy would become more and more abundant.
Shangguan Yan was dumbfounded again.
Was this ordinary-looking turtle shell actually the Black Turtle Armor?
She was really angry now!
So angry that her liver hurt!
This stinky brat had been here for less than half an hour and had already snatched away three of her treasures.
Compared to the Black Turtle Armor, that thousand-year-old ginseng was nothing!
Out of the three treasures, was the Blood-Activating Angelica actually the least valuable?
"How about it, I didn’t deceive you, did I? This is the Black Turtle Armor, isn’t it?"
"How much dog shit did you step on when you left your house today? That kind of luck, it just keeps coming, one after another, non-stop! The first time, and then a second time. After the second time, there’s a third time."
"After the third time, I still want a fourth time. After all, our bet was that if I won, I could pick any item I wanted from the Cauldron Medicine Pavilion."
"You... you want to clean me out? You’ve already taken three treasures, and you’re still going for more?"
"Only three, that’s hardly enough! Don’t worry, the first time is new, the second time we’re familiar. I’ll be coming often in the future. After all, the Cauldron Medicine Pavilion has many treasures, and you, the beautiful but visionless owner, can’t see them. It’s only right for my piercing eyes to discover them for you."
"You still want to come back? Next time you come, I’ll grab a stick and beat you out! Business at the Cauldron Medicine Pavilion hasn’t been good, and I haven’t made much money in the past two years. Then you show up and take away several years’ worth of earnings. You conscienceless scoundrel, you really are heartless."
Shangguan Yan cursed Qin Feng without any good temper.
The tone of her voice sounded like there was a bit of ambiguity in it.
She was doing it on purpose.
This kid Qin Feng actually had real skills.
Since she had lost the bet, Shangguan Yan couldn’t very well refuse to pay up.
If a woman wins something from a man, as long as she gets him in the end, isn’t everything he has also hers?
Of course, Shangguan Yan couldn’t have fallen for Qin Feng at first sight.
She just wanted to use her feminine advantages to bewitch him and confuse his mind.
Maybe that way, Qin Feng wouldn’t have the heart to take any of the three treasures with him.
Thinking this, Shangguan Yan immediately showed a shy and coquettish demeanor, saying delicately, "You heartless thing, you’ve already bullied me so much, and you still want my fourth treasure. At this rate, you’ll run the Cauldron Medicine Pavilion into the ground. If you really must have it, then take me instead!"
Shangguan Yan’s maneuver left Qin Feng stunned.
However, he wasn’t foolish and knew this woman was trying to seduce him into submission with her beauty.
"Although you are stunningly beautiful with a hot figure, I’m just not that interested in women. So, I’ll take the treasure, and you can keep yourself."
Having said that, Qin Feng walked towards a shelf in the corner.
On the bottom of the shelf, there was a Bronze Furnace with dragons carved and phoenixes etched on it.
However, it looked somewhat rough.
The bronze had turned green with rust, and the material didn’t look remarkable.
