The rules of the Treasure Pavilion.
Two people duel with their treasures.
The audience chooses one to bet on.
Five professional appraisers on stage judge the quality.
If you win, you get money; if you lose, you lose money.
A very simple gambling scheme, yet it attracts many onlookers.
After all, who wouldn't want to become rich overnight?
“Zhao boss's treasure is a gold and silver inlaid mirror with a design of four phoenixes carrying a ribbon, everyone please take a look…”
“Nothing special, I'm out!”
“I'm in!”
“Good! My turn, take a look at this, a gold bowl with a design of mandarin ducks and lotus petals!”
“Heh, this thing is worse than his! I'm out!”
Immediately.
A group of people argued over whether the gold bowl was more valuable than the mirror.
Their faces were red and their necks were thick with anger.
At this time.
At the gold bowl side, someone bet a hundred copper coins, someone bet two hundred, someone bet five hundred.
A young man, dressed like a rich kid, came up and directly placed a silver bar on the gold bowl:
“I like the look of this gold bowl, I'll bet big!”
This immediately stimulated Fei Ji Shi.
He thought this young man was an expert, and following an expert would lead to guaranteed wealth. So, he quickly said: “I'm in too!”
As soon as he finished speaking.
A strong burp came out, causing the people around him to look at him with disgust.
Fei Ji Shi had a characteristic when he went out.
He liked to dress like a beggar when he travelled long distances.
In his own words.
Don't flaunt your wealth, it will attract unwanted attention.
After all, he had no official position to protect him, nor did he have any powerful martial skills, yet he still loved to join in the fun.
So he could only be unkempt and dishevelled.
Unfortunately.
His appearance.
Immediately caused people to look down on him.
A man in fine clothes mocked: “Old drunkard, do you have money? If you're in, you have to put up the silver!”
People around him joined in the jeering.
“That’s right!”
“What poor ghost! No money, stay out!”
“You look so poor, I don't believe you have any silver!”
“Just leave, go right and beg, what's a beggar doing at the Treasure Pavilion!”
“Yeah, put up the money!”
Fei Ji Shi always loved face.
Unfortunately.
He patted his pocket, it was empty.
Normally, he brought a lot of money when he travelled.
After all, running a clinic in the bustling Chang'an city was very profitable, it could be said that he made a fortune every day.
In fact, Fei Ji Shi had brought eight silver bars with him.
But at this moment, half of his money was spent on wine, chicken, and most importantly, buying a horse. The other half was being kept by Xi Jun.
So.
Under the chaos of the crowd's jeering.
Fei Ji Shi's face flushed.
He took out Lu Ling Feng's three-section long spear from behind.
He slammed it on the table: “I have this!”
A group of people looked over.
The manager asked: “What is this?”
Fei Ji Shi, flushed with anger and for the sake of face, made up a story:
“Humph, I'll scare you, this is the personal weapon of the War God Wang Jian, used when he destroyed the six kingdoms, it's called the Three-Section Gilded Silver Spear!”
“What gold? What silver?”
The people around were all confused.
But the manager took a closer look.
He felt that the spear was a good spear.
Although it wasn't as mysterious or as old as he said, it should be considered a treasure.
With everyone's encouragement.
Fei Ji Shi's anger subsided, and his drunkenness sobered up a bit.
He wasn't a gambling man, he just loved to join in the fun, and he was provoked, so he did such a foolish thing.
So,
He quickly put away his weapon and wanted to leave.
But naturally, the manager stopped him:
“Stop! The rules of the Treasure Pavilion are, no playing around with the duel, anyone who regrets it will have their arm cut off!”
Two burly strong men flanked Fei Ji Shi, looking down at him.
Fei Ji Shi was naturally scared.
So he obediently put down his long spear.
The result.
Two against three.
The gold bowl lost to the mirror.
Some people in the crowd were overjoyed, like they had married a wife, while others sighed and lamented, like they had lost their parents.
The spear naturally also lost to the Treasure Pavilion.
Fei Ji Shi's eyelids twitched.
He knew he had done something wrong.
However.
This round of gambling was over.
The next round began.
It seemed like the spear was gone.
At this time.
Fei Ji Shi heard.
The winner of the treasure duel could choose any item from the betting table, it could be silver, or it could be the spear, or even the gold bowl!
So.
He suddenly had an idea.
He went out for a while.
When he came back.
He was dragging a heavy black wooden box.
Everyone saw Fei Ji Shi coming back.
So they started mocking him again:
“Oh, looks like this old man is going to bet big this time?”
“What is it? Making a fuss.”
“This old guy, is he going to duel with treasures?”
Fei Ji Shi said weakly: “Yes, I want to duel with treasures!”
At this time.
The person sitting opposite him laughed: “Old man, you better watch out, this is a gold-inlaid jade from the Former Sui Dynasty, the best jade material is Hetian jade, the best inlaid method is used, the value is beyond compare, someone offered ten silver bars for it and I didn't sell it! Are you sure you want to duel with me?”
The people around also said:
“This is a real treasure, there's no doubt about it.”
“Whoever comes here is dead!”
“But ten silver bars? That's a bit exaggerated, isn't it?”
“Old drunkard, give up, don't lose everything again!”
However.
Fei Ji Shi seemed very confident.
He lifted the box onto the table with effort: “I want to duel with him! If I win, I don't want anything, I just want my spear back!”
The person dueling with him laughed:
“It hasn't even started yet, and you think you're going to win? Old man, you don't recognize jade material, do you? Anyone here want to introduce this treasure to him?”
However.
Under the pointing and whispering of the people around.
Fei Ji Shi opened the wooden box with great confidence.
When the box was opened.
All sound disappeared.
Inside.
A long spear lay quietly in a mould covered with delicate soft red cloth.
The spear was dark green.
It was wrapped with a kirin design.
It looked short and like a hand axe at first glance.
But when the mechanism was triggered.
The spear shaft automatically extended and lengthened, and instantly became a fierce long spear, its tip was extremely sharp, its cold light was dazzling, making people feel cold all over.
The whole spear was gilded and carved with kirin patterns.
It looked like a halberd, but slightly different.
The material was hard and heavy.
It weighed about seventy kilograms, ten times heavier than a normal spear!
This was the Breaking Formation Overlord Spear that Wang Lin had spent a fortune to forge.
The reason for choosing this.
First.
It could transform, extend and retract at will, making it easy to carry.
Second.
He had a spear talent, but at the same time, he had the power of the Precious Blood to enhance him, an ordinary spear was too light, it was like a firewood stick.
Therefore.
He had discussed with the best craftsmen in Chang'an for a long time, and designed and made such a heavy spear.
He could enjoy the bonus of the attribute, and also exert the power of the Precious Blood.
But in the end, this spear was a copy of the Breaking Formation Overlord Spear of the Overlord Xiang Yu, not the real one, so it only weighed 71 kilograms, half of the original.
Moreover.
Only emperors could use dragon patterns.
If anyone else was found using it, they would be beheaded!
This resulted in the original coiled dragon being replaced with a golden kirin design, but it did not hinder its imposing nature!
The moment it appeared.
It was as if treasure energy soared into the sky.
It was as if a kirin was roaring.
Immediately causing everyone to exclaim, even the person dueling with him opened his eyes wide.
At this moment.
Even the five appraisers.
All had the same words in their minds:
A peerless treasure!
