Chapter 288 My gaze is number one
Early the next morning, Chen Qiang arrived at Jubao Pavilion early, met with Li Qingluo, and headed towards the venue of the Treasure Guanbao Conference.
Along the way, Li Qingluo did not test Chen Qiang like yesterday, but instead told more interesting stories about Yunhai City and the distribution of major forces in Qiantian State.
As a result, the two of them talked happily and got closer to each other.
Seeing the venue in the north of the city approaching, Li Qingluo began to tell Chen Qiang about some of the famous treasure appraisers at this treasure viewing conference.
"...These treasure appraisers are not top-notch. Their methods of appraising treasures are nothing more than relying on experience and some auxiliary equipment, so there is nothing to worry about."
"There are only two real opponents!"
"One of them, you have already met, is Mo Yuntao of the Mo family who called himself Tao Yunmo yesterday."
"What he represents is naturally the Mo family, but to the outside world, he always uses the name Tao Yunmo."
"Since he came out of the mountain, he has never failed in the treasure viewing conference. This is because he has a pupil technique called the Hundred Flowers Phantom Eye. It is a magical power that can see through illusions and obstacles!"
"Hundred Flowers Phantom Eyes? If you just see through the illusion and confusion, it doesn't seem to be miraculous in identifying treasures, right?" Chen Qiang frowned and asked in confusion.
The treasure viewing conference that Chen Qiang heard from Li Qingluo yesterday was based on identifying the number of true and false treasures. It only saw through illusions and confusion, but not the true and false. How could it be as powerful as this?
"At the treasure viewing conference, the treasures presented by each family are of course genuine, but they are just covered up in various ways."
Li Qingluo smiled bitterly and said: "In this way, his Hundred Flowers Fantasy Eyes will be useful."
Chen Qiang suddenly realized it, paused and asked again: "What about the other person?"
"The other one is Qin Yuxuan, the representative of the Yunhai Merchant Alliance. It is said that he can communicate with the magic weapon, so Yu Jianbao's journey is unfavorable."
"Since his debut, he has never failed to detect treasures!" Li Qingluo said in a solemn tone, obviously he also attached great importance to Qin Yuxuan.
"Yes, I understand." Chen Qiang nodded and said nothing more.
The two chatted for a few more words and then arrived at the treasure viewing conference venue located on the bank of Yunbo Lake in the north of the city.
The entire venue was built into a circle, surrounded by railings. Every ten meters or so there was a giant jade sculpture, which was exquisitely carved and lifelike.
These jade carvings are all ten feet high, and the upper half is completely covered with metal, shining with a dazzling metallic luster;
The lower half is a hollow jade pillar, with brilliant light flowing and uncanny workmanship.
This kind of metal jade sculpture seems to be expensive to make. There are twenty-eight of them in the entire venue, which just corresponds to the number of forces participating in this treasure viewing conference.
At the same time, this metal jade sculpture can prevent monks from prying into it, and it can also withstand the infusion of immortal energy from at least the true immortal monks, keeping it intact.
This kind of jade material is extremely precious, and only the wealthy forces in Yunhai City can jointly build twenty-eight of them!
In the hollow space of this jade carving, there are placed the treasures provided by the twenty-eight forces that need to be identified this time, and there is exactly one jade carving for each family.
At the same time, in the center of the venue, there is a nine-story tower. There is a plaque hanging on the door of the tower, which reads: Jianbao Tower.
Chen Qiang saw it and didn't know what the specific purpose was.
As for the location directly opposite the other side of the tower, there is a large grandstand with rows of seats arranged neatly, enough for the entourage of various forces participating in the conference to sit and watch.
In addition, at the top of the stands, there are twenty-eight boxes suspended in the air, where the heads of the twenty-eight forces are located.
Chen Qiang followed Li Qingluo and rested temporarily in one of the boxes, waiting for the official start of the treasure viewing conference.
At the same time, people were already standing outside the fence, bustling and noisy.
Everyone was talking a lot, guessing what treasures they could see today, which would become topics of conversation for them and others in the future.
Suddenly, the noise disappeared and there was silence.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the center of Yunbo Lake.
A red building boat, more than thirty feet long and five or six feet wide, slowly sailed out of the lake and docked on the shore.
A group of women appeared one after another on the deck of the building, dancing beautifully to the melodious music coming from the ship.
“So beautiful!”
"She is simply thousands of times more beautiful than the most beautiful girl in our Yunhai City."
"These women are specially invited to perform for this treasure viewing conference. It is said that they are all disciples with outstanding skills in the Sound Wave Valley."
"No wonder, hahaha, this trip is really worth it!"
The onlookers were talking a lot, with shocked expressions on their faces.
And just when everyone was still indulging in singing and dancing, they suddenly heard the sound of a loud bell that suddenly resounded throughout the entire space.
Immediately afterwards, on the building boat, an old man came on the waves, and in a few breaths he arrived in front of the tall tower in the center of the venue.
"Look, it's the previous leader of the Yunhai Merchant Alliance, Mr. Yan!"
"I didn't expect to invite his old man to be the referee this time."
The old man glanced around, with a warm smile on his face. He raised his hand slightly, and the noise around him suddenly quieted down.
"I declare that this treasure viewing conference has officially begun!"
Following Yan Lao's order, the entire venue immediately began to boil.
Boom!——
A long and distant sound of drums marked the beginning of the conference.
This voice seemed to have its own magic power, causing the crowd that had just been excited to calm down briefly.
Yan Lao took advantage of the situation and said: "The rules of this ceremony remain unchanged, but the situation is innovative."
"In order to prevent the situation from being tied last year, a new treasure appraisal building was added after the Twenty-Eight Jade Pillars Appraisal."
"The rules of Jianbao Tower will be announced when there is a real tie."
Whoosh!——
After Mr. Yan said this, white jade talismans suddenly flew out from his sleeves and robes, hovering in mid-air, spinning non-stop.
These white jade talismans, twenty-eight in total, are in the shape of water chestnuts, emitting bright light, rippling around in circles, like ripples on water.
The next moment, twenty-eight white jade talismans shot at the twenty-eight jade pillars, leaving a jade talisman on each jade pillar.
After the jade talisman was settled, everyone discovered that there was an additional power name on each jade pillar.
"Boom!"
For a moment, there was thunderous applause.
"This year's grouping is interesting. It is decided directly by Mr. Yan randomly throwing out the jade talisman."
"Yes, it looks much better than last year's draw. The key is that it saves a lot of time."
"I can't wait to see what kind of babies are born this time!"
The crowd of onlookers shouted and clapped their hands.
"Okay, next, let's ask the treasure appraisers to start looking at the treasures according to the assigned jade pillars."
After Yan Lao finished speaking, figures fell from the boxes in the sky and stood still on the corresponding jade pillars.
"Chen Qiang, I didn't expect that there would be an additional treasure appraisal building this time."
"Well, as long as you can qualify for the Jade Pillar Treasure Appraisal, the enlightenment quota promised to you before will still be valid."
Li Qingluo looked at Chen Qiang who was about to leave and said quickly.
Unexpectedly, Chen Qiang smiled slightly and said, "My goal is to be number one!"
Chapter completed!
