Chapter 185 Qizhen Pavilion Amulet

He traveled around the Xingren Hall in the capital and spent more than 10000 taels of silver.

The other miscellaneous items added up to about 3000 taels, and the last bottle of viper venom accounted for the bulk of it, about 7000 taels.

The receptionist must have taken a commission, because when the bill was paid after the transaction, his face was full of smiles.

"Please take care, my dear. This is a complimentary herbal tea from our store."

Zhou You was holding the gift wrapped in a paper bag and thought that Dr. Hua had quite a business sense.

The only drawback is that even though I spent so much, I didn’t get a gold card membership or a 20% discount or anything like that.

After he left, the receptionist breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Boss, if you hadn't given my approval, I would never have dared to sell this bottle of snake venom to a stranger."

Doctor Hua was now free, with no guests in front of him, and he was holding a cup of scented tea to soothe his throat.

He replied, "Ordinary snake venom can be used as medicine, but this bottle of Viper venom is fierce and hard to tame. In addition, it is very old, and most of its toxicity has been lost. It is a blessing that we can sell it."

"That being said, if something happens in the future..."

Doctor Hua interrupted the receptionist and said, "Nothing will happen."

"This man's name is Lu Zhigang. What he left behind is his real name. His nickname is Poison Goose."

"Lu Zhigang bought the snake venom for only one purpose, to practice poison palm. He will not let it spread and harm others."

"Moreover……"

Doctor Hua looked at him dimly, "Those nobles and wealthy families practiced martial arts that made them immune to all poisons, and they have fellow disciples from the Medicine King Sect around to take care of them. What poison can harm them?"

"If it were ordinary people, even if they poisoned tens of thousands of people, no one would ask questions."

He looked at the direction Zhou You left, feeling surprised that the poisonous goose Lu Zhigang had come to the city. This guy had a very sensitive sense of smell.

Zhou You left Xingren Hall and suddenly realized that he didn’t have enough money!

Half of the money I had just withdrawn was spent, and it seemed that the remaining money could not be taken out of the city.

That being said, it feels good to spend money lavishly.

After leaving the medical district, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, to the point where only a few could be seen.

"A rare and precious treasure, rarely seen in the world; passed down through three generations in one family, it will still be there even after the grandfather is gone!"

"We have everything from tigers in the mountains to dragons in the sea, all at good prices, never in vain."

"A thousand gold pieces are not as good as a pearl, and ten thousand gold pieces cannot buy a flawless jade; treat pearls and jade as dirt and look at the treasures of the world!"

This street sells all kinds of rare treasures.

Zhou You felt that he had come to the right place, as he had a lot of things waiting to be sold!

This time I came here to explore the route, and I put 2 or 3 jade carvings and a large string of pearls in my backpack.

He kept the gold objects as it was inconvenient to sell them. Gold and silver can be melted into ingots and bricks. The patterns and characters on the surface of bronze and tin objects all have their origins, so they can be easily traced if they are sold.

I walked around for a long time but still hadn’t finished walking. I was so hungry that I bought 10 meat pancakes from the street and ate them while walking and looking around.

The one with the loudest advertising is Qizhenge, and the customers who come in and out are either rich or noble, so it should be positioned as high-end.

Such a big and powerful store has to have some dignity and can't do anything evil.

Zhou You made a decision, finished eating the pancake, clapped his hands and walked into the Qizhen Pavilion.

When I entered the door, I was stopped and the other party kindly reminded me, "Are you here to sell treasures? Go to the right."

It turns out that Qizhenge both ships and receives goods. The left side is for customers to consume, while the right side is for those who pledge, pawn or sell goods.

Zhou You looked at his clothes and laughed. Is this right?
In high-end places, you should at least respect the clothes first and then the people!

The counters are arranged neatly, and the old men with white beards and tortoise-shell glasses turn on the lights to carefully examine each item even in broad daylight.

Zhou You spotted a gap and sat down. The appraiser opposite him said directly, "Take them all out!" After some appraisal, the results came out.

"A string of 18 beads, with a diameter of more than two-thirds (2cm), and a bead error of no more than one centimeter, is considered top quality."

"The color should be ivory white, not beige, which is the best quality."

Based on comprehensive evaluation of roundness, color, etc., this string of pearls is estimated to be worth 3700 to 4200 taels.

If you need it urgently, you can take 3700 taels of silver in cash. If you want to raise the price, you can choose to consign it. Qizhen Pavilion only charges a % handling fee.

Then there are a few jade carvings.

"The other two are rubbish. Look at the knife skills and the lines. Such good jade has been ruined in vain."

"This last stone lion is quite interesting, with a western exotic style, and the knife skills are delicate and the grinding is sophisticated."

"How about this, pack up 8000 taels and leave."

The advertisements say that a pearl is worth a thousand gold coins and a piece of jade is worth ten thousand gold coins. This is indeed an exaggeration and the actual prices are just like that.

Zhou You decisively chose to take the money and leave, giving away all the treasures he brought this time.

It’s different if you have iron on you. Someone immediately invites him to go to the left area to consume, and the main idea is to spend now and not take the money home.

Zhou You suddenly had an idea and asked, "Is there any way to deal with Huasheng Mei?"

As expected of a person from a big city, he has excellent qualities. After hearing about Huashengmei, the clerk at Qizhen Pavilion was only slightly surprised and gave an answer immediately.

"Please forgive me, my sir. Charms are rare after all. Anything that can kill a lot is either treasured by nobles or only owned by the city gate guards."

"If you want to protect yourself, I recommend the amulet."

A triangular copper piece with dried black blood on the surface.

Zhou You's eyebrows twitched. Although this piece of copper was small, it contained an astonishing amount of residual energy and blood.

Compared with ordinary wooden plaques with evil spirits, this copper piece is of a higher level, with qi and blood as its bones, and evil spirits leaking out.

"Is this an amulet refined by a master at the end of the Qi and Blood stage? How many years has it been refined?"

The clerk gave a thumbs up and said admiringly, "This customer has good taste!"

Objects purified by qi and blood have a higher threshold than objects possessed by evil spirits. Only those in the latter stage of qi and blood are barely qualified, and the real ones must be at the martial artist level.

Correspondingly, the cost is higher and the effect is also higher.

The evil wooden sign can scare away imaginary ghosts, but it is useless against transformed ghosts.

If it were this amulet, even a transformed demon wouldn't dare to touch it easily.

The martial arts master has compressed his energy and blood to an extremely terrifying level, and it is almost ready to explode at any moment.

They set up punishment media on the refined objects. As long as a hostile object approaches, the gushing blood and energy will explode and shoot out, wiping out the enemy on the spot without leaving any trace.

"how much is it?"

"5000 taels per piece, mainly because the labor is expensive."

After all, it would cost a martial artist in the later stage of Qi and blood to spend several years concentrating on refining it, and the cost is really prohibitive.

Wow, 2 coins are worth 10000 taels. That’s right, I have this much money after buying things!

Zhou You originally planned to give each of his parents one for self-defense.

The evil-repelling pill is of little use nowadays, so I need to upgrade it into an amulet for my parents.

Zhou You thought for a moment, "If I offer 10000 taels, can you provide an amulet made by a martial artist?"

The clerk was stunned on the spot!
Then he was overjoyed, this was a big deal!
For a single transaction amount of 10000 taels, the commission alone is extremely generous, and it can also allow him to be directly promoted to a higher rank.
