Chapter 22 The Treasure That Can’t Be Sold

This is an inconspicuous corner of the venue.

The booth looks plain and unadorned, and it is out of place compared to the other glittering booths around it.

The "treasure" is a dark iron ball, which looks ordinary on the surface.

However, Lu Yu sensed a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy from it.

"This iron ball looks ordinary, but the spiritual power contained in it is very huge. It has been identified by the master of the conference. Judging from the fluctuation of spiritual power alone, this item has reached the eighth grade. It is the highest grade treasure in the entire treasure tasting conference. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a treasure."

Xiang Sheng followed Lu Yu and introduced it non-stop, with a mocking look on his face.

"How about it, can you afford it?"

Lu Yu ignored him and looked at the iron ball with deep eyes.

"Shopkeeper, what is this?"

The shopkeeper here is an old man in a black shirt, and his whole body is as hard as the iron ball. He just threw down a sentence coldly.

"Look for yourself."

"Can I pick it up?"

"Please."

Lu Yu picked up the iron ball.

Suddenly, the Qi sea in his body fluctuated strangely, like the rise and fall of the tide.

The nine red lotus cyclones seemed to have an inexplicable induction to the iron ball.

"Young Master, please don't be impulsive!"

Old Zhang saw that Lu Yu picked up the iron ball and didn't put it down for a long time, and seemed to be quite interested, so he couldn't help but get anxious.

"This item is indeed called a 'treasure', but this 'treasure' is an irony! Although it is an eighth-grade item, it is just a facade, with only the name of a treasure, but not the essence of a treasure..."

"This item has been in more than a dozen treasure appreciation conferences, but it has never been sold, because no one knows what it is and what it is used for..."

"Young Master, don't act on impulse, fall into the calculations of others, and become a sucker!"

So that's how it is...

The treasure appreciation conference is just like the four-county martial arts competition, which is held once every four years. Having participated in more than a dozen treasure appreciation conferences in a row, the time span in between is several decades.

It's no wonder that Xiang Sheng kept urging me to buy something that has been sold for decades, but has not been sold. It turns out that he wants me to be a sucker like him...

"Hmph, what do you know! Maybe other people don't know the goods, but Young Master Lu has a unique eye?"

Xiang Sheng scolded Lao Zhang in a harsh voice.

Lao Zhang was speechless and didn't dare to argue with him.

Lu Yu glanced at Xiang Sheng, thinking silently in his heart, I'm afraid that this time you will really come true...

Bu Yi has been paying close attention to Lu Yu's subtle expressions. She is very familiar with Lu Yu. Seeing that Lu Yu seems to be really moved this time, she can't help but smile coldly.

"Do you really want to buy it?"

"What? Are you going to raise the price again?"

Lu Yu put down the iron ball, turned around and made a gesture of invitation to the two.

"Then how about you make an offer first?"

Xiang Sheng smiled and shook his hand: "No need, I said it long ago, if you want to buy it, we will never stop you."

Bu Yi said disdainfully: "There is no need to raise the price for this thing, you can't afford it."

Lu Yu was startled, turned to the old man in black clothes, and asked: "Shopkeeper, how much is this thing?"

The old man looked up at him.

"One thousand spirit stones."

Hiss!

Lu Yu took a breath of cold air.

One thousand spirit stones, if converted into gold, would be one million taels of gold!

No wonder this thing has not been sold for more than ten consecutive sessions. Who is willing to spend so much money to buy such a thing whose use is not even clear?

In fact, if it were not for the red lotus cyclone in his body to sense it, Lu Yu would not be interested in it.

Even so, Lu Yu bought this thing as a gamble, betting that it is not an ordinary item and is useful to him.

"Shopkeeper, I really want it, can I give you a discount?"

"No."

The old man had a cold face, as if he didn't care about buying it or not.

Lu Yu had no choice but to look at Lao Zhang.

"Sir, do you really want to buy this thing? You have to think it over... But I don't have so much money on me..."

Lao Zhang said embarrassedly.

Hearing this, Bu Yi and Xiang Sheng were overjoyed.

Bu Yi said proudly: "Why, can't you afford it? I've said it before, Lu Yu, you don't belong here at all! You are a clown, you know that!"

Xiang Sheng also smiled and said: "Lu Yu, if you are short of money, how about I lend it to you?"

"As long as you use your Feihong Sword as collateral, I will let my father help you advance the one thousand spirit stones in the name of the county government!"

As he spoke, Xiang Sheng looked at the Feihong Sword in Lu Yu's hand, his eyes gradually became hot.

Lu Yu clearly felt his greed, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his heart.

At this moment, a hearty voice came.

"Mr. Lu is a distinguished guest invited by my Wanhe Chamber of Commerce, how can I trouble the Lujiang County Governor's Office?"

Lu Yu turned his head and saw that it was Yu Wanli who came over.

"If Mr. Lu really likes this thing, the one thousand spirit stones will be advanced by the Wanhe Chamber of Commerce!"

Bu Yi and Xiang Sheng's faces were pale with astonishment.

Xiang Sheng swallowed unconsciously.

He was just saying that he would pay a thousand spirit stones. In fact, he had no idea whether it would work.

On the other hand, Yu Wanli made the decision in one sentence. His wealth was beyond his reach.

"President Yu is really brave enough, but I advise President Yu to be cautious, lest when others fail to pay, your thousand spiritual stones will be wasted!"

Xiang Sheng said sourly. He didn't even notice that his tone at this moment was that of a resentful woman.

"It doesn't matter, Yu is optimistic about Mr. Lu's future, believes in his abilities, and even more believes in his character." Yu Wanli said calmly.

Xiang Sheng couldn't help but feel even more sad...

A trace of resentment flashed in Bu Yi's eyes.

She really didn't expect that Wanhe Chamber of Commerce would spare no effort in supporting Lu Yu.

This Lu Yu was obviously a piece of trash that he had discarded like a piece of trash, yet he was so favored by Wan Li. Why on earth was this?

Did you see it wrong?

This was the first time that Bu Yi had a little doubt about the decision he had made...

"President Yu, is this really okay? Will this put a burden on your Chamber of Commerce?" Lu Yu asked.

Although Yu Wanli did say that all his expenses at the meeting could be advanced by the Wanhe Chamber of Commerce, he did not expect that Yu Wanli would be willing to help him with such a large sum of money.

Yu Wanli smiled and said: "A thousand spiritual stones will indeed bring some financial pressure to our society, but it is not a big problem. As long as the young master sees it correctly and is sure to buy this thing, there will be no problem on my side."

"In that case...well! Shopkeeper, I want this treasure of yours!"

Even after so many years, such a big deal was finally completed, and the cold-faced old man was not at all excited. He just said two words coldly.

"Give me money."
