Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

"This rune is interesting."

Upon seeing the runes, Zhang Yan's heart stirred slightly.

He actually sensed the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth within this rune, but for some reason, it felt somewhat strange.

That's clearly a rune.

But in his mind, it seemed as if there were countless runes.

The runes were constantly fighting each other, each trying to become the only one, but unfortunately, they could never succeed.

"What a strange thing," Zhang Yan muttered to himself.

He wanted to feel it carefully.

But unfortunately.

He was too far from the testing grounds, and the testing grounds were protected by shields, so he couldn't sense anything clearly.

"Never mind, I'll go find Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord after their match is over."

"Perhaps we'll be able to observe this rune up close sometime."

Think of this.

Zhang Yan stopped observing.

Instead, they began to patiently wait for the outcome.

The results came out rather slowly this time; the match lasted a full three days.

"This is really tough!"

Zhang Yan looked at the people on the arena; their faces had all turned pale.

It looked as if he had put in a lot of effort.

This is actually perfectly normal.

Deciphering runes is already a laborious task, especially since the rune they were deciphering was so complex, making it even more difficult.

Three days passed by in a flash.

The match finally ended.

The one who won was a young girl from the upper realm cultivators.

A total of 18 runes were analyzed, giving them a precipitous lead of 8 runes over the second place.

even……

One cultivator became completely depressed. He thought his comprehension was pretty good, but in the end he only managed to decipher three runes.

The worst part is that two of the three runes are wrong.

It was utterly shameful!

"Now it's two wins and two draws!"

Seeing this, everyone present was on tenterhooks.

Two wins and two draws!

Therefore, the fifth game is extremely important.

"Don't worry, we'll win the fifth game!"

As Zhang Yan spoke, he walked step by step onto the arena.

"There won't be any problem leaving it to Senior Brother Zhang." Seeing Zhang Yan go on stage, for some reason, everyone felt a sense of security.

It seems that as long as Zhang Yan takes action, there's nothing he can't handle.

And that's exactly what happened.

Zhang Yan won almost every match he was involved in.

This time, along with Zhang Yan, there were four cultivators from the lower realms, and in addition, there were five cultivators from the upper realms.

However, it was clear that these five cultivators from the upper realm all carried an air of arrogance on their faces, seemingly looking down on Zhang Yan and the others.

"If you know what's good for you, you'd better admit defeat quickly!"

Upon seeing Zhang Yan, one of the men with a vertical pupil on his forehead spoke to Zhang Yan disdainfully.

"Ok?"

"Three eyes?"

Seeing the eyes on the other person's forehead, Zhang Yan was somewhat surprised.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone with an extra eye on their head.

"What three eyes!"

"This is the Divine Eye of Lightness and Spirit!"

"You've got a knack for finding treasures, so you've really hit a brick wall when you run into me in the treasure appraisal business!"

At this point, a smug look appeared on his face.

The divine eye on his forehead helped him a lot during his growth.

"Interesting." Zhang Yan simply smiled upon hearing the other party's words.

What's with all this talk of divine eyes?

He simply couldn't believe that the opponent's Divine Eyes were stronger than his equipment slots.

After all, the equipment slots even indicate the quality of the equipment and its detailed functions.

Even if the other party's supernatural abilities are truly helpful, they would probably only help with some identification.

otherwise……

That eye could not possibly strike at a mere Golden Core cultivator like him.

"The rules of this competition are very simple. We will take turns bringing out our treasures for you to appraise. Each treasure will only be available for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. You can only look at it, not handle it."

"After one incense stick has burned, write your answers on paper. Those who get it right advance to the next round, and so on, until only one person remains."

Once everyone was in place, a Heavenly Lord immediately stepped forward and explained the rules to them.

"So, do you have any further questions?"

The Heavenly Emperor addressed the crowd with a question.

"No."

Zhang Yan and the others shook their heads, indicating that they fully understood what the Heavenly Emperor had said.

"Alright, let's begin!"

This time, it was Fire Spirit Heavenly Lord who spoke. He stood up with a smile, then took out a small object and placed it on the table.

"Look at this, what is it?"

"This is……"

Everyone looked up and saw a dark, unidentifiable object on the table. It was so dark that they couldn't tell what it was made of. If the Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord hadn't brought it out, they wouldn't have even thought it was a treasure.

Everyone racked their brains.

I want to combine this with the knowledge I have in my memory.

But this thing.

This was indeed the case in Zhang Yan's eyes:

[Equipment Name]: Black Blood Jade

[Equipment Tier]: Mid-Tier 5
[Equipment Quality]: Gray
[Equipment Effect]: Pollution LV5 (The Black Blood Jade will pollute the surrounding environment, turning it into a dead zone.) Spellbreaker LV4 (The Black Blood Jade has the effect of breaking magic power; it can destroy a fourth-tier spiritual vein, forming a malevolent vein.)
"Sigh~"

Upon seeing the description of this item, Zhang Yan couldn't help but gasp.

This thing...

That's pretty weird!

I never expected it to be so amazing!

It can not only pollute the environment, but also destroy spiritual veins, forming evil veins.

If you don't like someone...

They secretly buried this thing in someone's house.

The entire sect will be doomed.

After confirming what it was, Zhang Yan stopped dawdling and wrote the answer on the paper, then waited to hand in his paper.

"Ok?"

"I didn't expect the little guy to be so knowledgeable."

Although the other contestants could not detect Zhang Yan's answer, it could not escape the notice of the seven Heavenly Lords above.

Their spiritual senses were so strong that they could easily see through the formation and read the answers he had written.

They were somewhat surprised to see that Zhang Yan had actually recognized the item.

"You didn't just go over the answers with him beforehand, did you?" At this moment, a Heavenly Lord from the Upper Realm suddenly asked the Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord.

"How can this be!"

Hear this.

It seemed that Huo Lingtianjun had been greatly insulted.

"We still have some sense of shame!"

"How could someone do such a thing?"

"You don't actually think we're like you, do you?" Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord coldly looked at the person who had spoken.

"It's alright, it's alright, we'll bring out our treasures anyway..."

Seeing that the Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord also spoke.

A white-robed celestial being from the upper realm immediately spoke softly to dissuade him.

“My husband still has some sense of dignity,” said the Blazing Flame Heavenly Lord at this moment.

"Well, I was just saying it offhand." The Heavenly Lord gave an awkward smile and didn't continue the conversation.

The time it takes for an incense stick to burn passes quickly.

Four people were eliminated in the first round alone.

Three of them were cultivators from the lower realms.

One is a cultivator from the upper realm.

"I'm sorry, Senior Brother Zhang..."

“We really did our best…” The three cultivators from the lower realms looked somewhat guilty as they passed by Zhang Yan.

They really did their best.

This is something called Black Blood Jade; they've never even heard of it, let alone seen it.

All I can do is rack my brains and make up an item in the hopes of getting lucky.

However, when they tried to prove it, their luck wasn't so good.

The stuff they made up wasn't even remotely correct, let alone accurate.

Therefore, they had no choice but to leave the field.

"Don't worry, I'm here for you."

Zhang Yan patted them on the shoulder, telling them not to worry.

Don’t say anything else.

When it comes to appraising treasures, Zhang Yan is ridiculously good.

The less others recognize something, the more terrifyingly strong he is.

Even though it's good, nobody knows us.

This way, he can draw a conclusion directly based on the information in the equipment slots.

Others could only watch helplessly.

"Okay, keep it up, Senior Brother Zhang."

Seeing Zhang Yan say this, the disciples from the lower realms were relieved.

He walked off the stage with a look of shame on his face.

"Next is the second round, and this time I will set the questions."

The speaker was the Blazing Flame Heavenly Lord.

After thinking for a moment, Blazing Heavenly Lord took out a rather exquisite-looking ring from his storage bag and placed it on the table.

"Take a look and see what this ring is for," said Blazing Heavenly Lord, a strange smile appearing on his face.

"Yes, Lord Tian!"

Zhang Yan and the others quickly began to examine the ring.

However, they were soon dumbfounded.

Because they found out.

This ring looks very ordinary, like a regular spatial ring.

but!

This is an antique appraisal competition!
Moreover, the one who produced this ring was a Heavenly Lord!
How could it be an ordinary storage ring?

So everyone started racking their brains, wanting to know what this thing was!
Only Zhang Yan remained silent.

Instead, he silently glanced at the Blazing Heavenly Lord.

have to say.

The Blazing Flame Heavenly Lord has his own ideas!
Because this ring isn't really a treasure; it's just an ordinary storage ring.

However, the other party took advantage of her identity, making everyone believe that what she brought out must not be a simple thing, which led to this situation.

However, while this trick is effective for ordinary people, it is really not difficult for Zhang Yan, who is overpowered, and he can write directly.

As Zhang Yan began to write.

The remaining cultivators became even more anxious.

But as time slipped away, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and continue writing.

unexpected.

Only one person was eliminated in this round.

Moreover, he is a cultivator from the upper realm.

Upon seeing the real answer, the monk immediately revealed a smile that was more like a grimace.

He had already suspected from the beginning that it was an ordinary storage ring.

But it was because the Blazing Flame Heavenly Lord took it out.

Therefore, he was not sure.

In the end, all we could do was try to bluff our way through.

I didn't expect it to be wrong.

The key is……

He was the only one who was wrong!

That's a bit embarrassing!

"If you want to truly learn how to appraise treasures, you must forget the identity of the treasure's owner."

Otherwise, you will never become true masters.

After saying this, Blazing Flame Heavenly Lord put away his storage ring and addressed the crowd.

"Yes, Lord Tian!"

Zhang Yan and the others naturally replied respectfully.

No one dared to utter a single word of dissent.

joke……

These are the Heavenly Emperor's instructions!

And most importantly...

Zhang Yan felt that what the other party said was absolutely right, without any problem at all!

In terms of antique appraisal.

The advantage of the other party's identity should be removed.

Otherwise, it is very easy to be misled.

"I didn't expect you to have some skills." At this moment, the three-eyed man looked at Zhang Yan with a strange smile on his face: "But it doesn't matter, you're going to lose anyway."

"Alright, then I'll wait and see." Hearing the other party's words, Zhang Yan smiled and didn't respond further.

honestly……

It's impolite not to respond unless the other person has spoken.

He probably wouldn't even say a word to this person...

What the hell!

Do you really think that just because you have an extra eye, you can be compared to him?

What a joke!

Do you really think his cheat code was used for nothing?!
The third round was another treasure brought out by a celestial being from the upper realm.

However, this treasure is more normal.

None of those remaining on stage are weak.

Everyone was able to identify it.

Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord also took out something for everyone to appraise.

Zhang Yan had never seen this before, even when he was learning treasure appraisal from the Red Dragon Heavenly Lord.

This can be seen.

Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord was fair in the competition.

He deliberately brought out something that Zhang Yan had never seen before to test everyone.

However, this also reflects his trust in Zhang Yan.

In his heart.

As long as Zhang Yan is involved in this treasure appraisal competition, we're guaranteed to win!
If you've already won the game, why cheat?

It's totally unnecessary!
The treasures that the Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord brought out were indeed quite difficult to obtain.

After this battle, only Zhang Yan and Three-Eyed Boy remained.

However, the three-eyed guy's expression was also not very good at this moment.

"Not bad."

"Both of you have some skill in appraising antiques."

The Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord gave them both very high praise.

"Thank you for the compliment, Heavenly Lord." The two were naturally very pleased with the praise from the Fire Dragon Heavenly Lord.

"Alright, it's my turn next."

"Since it's just the two of you, I'll make it a bit more difficult." The one who spoke at this moment was the white-robed Heavenly Lord.

he said.

He took out a bottle.

The bottle was crystal clear and shimmered in the sunlight, but most importantly, it was filled with a transparent liquid.

"You two, look at what the liquid in this bottle is."

The white-robed celestial being placed the bottle on the table and asked Zhang Yan and Three-Eyed Boy with a smile.

"By the way, this thing is different from anything you've appraised before. You can handle it," the white-robed celestial lord continued.

"it is good!"

"Thank you, Heavenly Lord!"

Upon hearing that he could get his hands on it, Three-Eyed Guy immediately smiled.

Although he had the help of the Divine Eye.

However, if you can't get the hang of it, the difficulty will increase.

So when he heard that he could handle it, he immediately stepped forward, picked up the bottle, and examined it carefully.

even……

He even uncapped the bottle and smelled it. (End of Chapter)
