Chapter 42: The unappraisable jade
"What? 200 gold coins?! Even blackmail isn't this ruthless!" Feng Xiao wanted to use a Foshan Shadowless Kick against this fatty, taking 200 gold coins to just increase one's inventory by one space, that was a whole 200 RMB. Moreover, the currency exchange had not been opened yet, everyone was still lacking money.
The warehouse manager had an unhappy expression as he said, "This warrior, my price is the set price of the Heavenly Dragon Continent. This is the price marked by the Heavenly Dragon Civil Department, why are you calling it blackmail."
Feng Xiao was speechless, secretly cursing the Ascend company as ruthless. After temporarily giving up on expanding his inventory, he spent 6 silver coins to store his entire Golden Wolf set and set off in the direction of the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Palace.
A giant "nothing can be not appraised" advertisement appeared in front of him, it was the Heavenly Dragon City appraisal shop. Feng Xiao hesitated a bit before being drawn in.
"Hello grandpa appraiser, can you help me appraise some equipment?" Feng Xiao took out the level 20 Undead Silver Equipment he obtained from the Spirit Spearmen on the second floor of the Death God's Tomb.
That appraiser old man had a withered old face. Even though Feng Xiao took out 5 pieces of level 20 Silver Equipment, his expression did not change at all. After looking over the equipment for a while, he coldly said, "50 gold coins!"
Feng Xiao took out 50 gold coins with pain. The old man gave a few loud cries and then used his "Appraisal Skill" several times. After the appraisal was over, he threw them back to Feng Xiao.

"The stats aren't bad." Feng Xiao took off his old Beginner clothes and put on the five pieces of the Undead set. Instantly, his body released a faint ash white glow, with a vague undead aura surrounding him.
Being able to have a set of Silver Equipment, there weren't many people like that in the Chinese Server.
"Ding, you have collected 5/6 of the Undead set. You have activated the following set effect: +10 HP Recovery, +10 MP Recovery, +10% Instant Death Resistance."
"Grandpa appraiser, can you help me appraise this jade?" Feng Xiao hesitate a bit before giving the Heavenly Profound Fantasy Jade to the appraiser old man.
Receiving the Heavenly Profound Fantasy Jade, the appraiser old man's eyes instantly contracted. His two withered old hands went over the jade for a long time before looking at Feng Xiao for an entire minute. Finally he slowly raised a single finger.
"It really can be appraised….." Feng Xiao carefully asked, "Could it be one thousand gold coins?"
Being able to increase his Gathering Skill be two levels, it surely was not a normal item. Feng Xiao boldly offered a very high price.
The appraiser old man rolled his eyes before shaking his head.
"Eh….One hundred gold coins?"
"......"
The appraiser old man resist throwing the Heavenly Profound Fantasy Jade at Feng Xiao's head before coldly saying.
"One hundred million gold coins!"
"....."
"Pada!" Feng Xiao's chin fell to the ground.
"What the fuck is this thing….." Walking out of the appraisal shop, Feng Xiao was still shocked.
When Feng Xiao walked out of the appraisal shop, the appraiser old man's old face broke down. His hands were trembling as he wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead.
"Hu…..It's a good thing I scared away that brat with a sky high price, otherwise my nothing can be not appraised advertisement would have been broken. It's actually a Super Sacred Grade Jade, even if I practiced my appraisal skill for 100 years, I still wouldn't be able to appraise it."
"But…..Where did that brat obtain that jade?"
"Emperor…..Emperor…..Great joy….." Outside the princess' palace, a little eunuch happily ran over.
On the jade bed, there was a girl who seemed like she was made of water. Those bright and enchanting eyes had no expression in them now and that nation collapsing beauty's face had no blood in it. Beside the bed, the equally pale Heavenly Dragon Emperor used his trembling hands to feed her soup spoonful by spoonful…..Doctor Huang was standing at the side, not daring to breathe too loudly, waiting with a face of sadness and fear.
"Why are you in such a panic?" Hearing the little eunuch's shocked cries, the emperor did not display any expressions on his face. It was like he was already dead.
"Emperor, it's the qilin. The qilin has appeared……" The little eunuch kneeled in front of the palace doors, speaking while panting.
"What!?" The Heavenly Dragon Emperor and Doctor Huang shouted out at the same time. The bowl of soup in the Heavenly Dragon Emperor's hands were not steady and it fell with a "pa" sound.
"What did you say? Say it again for this one….." The Heavenly Dragon Emperor's lips trembled as he spoke. His deathly still eyes once again had emotion in them.
"Yes, emperor." The little eunuch calmed himself and said in a clear voice, "Around half an hour ago, there was a qilin that appeared on the pet rankings. After confirming with the secret place, this matter is absolutely true. The Ten Thousand Dragon's Son can even confirm this."
Doctor Huang quickly came forward to bow down and say, "Emperor, destiny has changed, it has decided my emperor will not die. The Heavenly Dragon Goddess has sent down an auspicious omen to protect our Heavenly Dragon Dynasty!"
"Good…..Good…..Many thanks for the Heavenly Dragon Goddess' grace. This one's illness still has hope…..But how could a great qilin be willing to become a human's pet? Little plum, do you know who the qilin's master is?"
"Reporting to the emperor, this little one has learned from the secret place that the master of the qilin is an otherworld warrior named Wind Spirit." The little eunuch respectfully replied.
"Wind Spirit?" The Heavenly Dragon Emperor and Doctor Huang looked at each other. Doctor Huang patted his head and said, "Emperor, Wind Spirit is the first person who changed their Job who you me a few days ago. After receiving your order, he incredibly encountered a qilin and took it as his pet."
The Heavenly Dragon Emperor gave a loud laugh, "This one gave him this quest without any hope, but this one never thought that this one had underestimated him. Quickly, send Master Zhang Tian to come see me."
"Yes, emperor!"
"Master Zhang Tian, can you find his position?" The emperor anxiously asked.
"Reporting to the emperor, as long as he is within a hundred kilometers of Heavenly Dragon City, I will be able to find him." Master Zhang Tian held a brush in his hand. He was wearing a yellow robe and looked like an immortal. He was Heavenly Dragon City's number one spell master and was respected by countless people.
Master Zhang Tian held a white talisman paper in his hand and muttered a spell. Suddenly he gave a loud roar and threw the talisman into the air…..
"Heaven Law's God Eye! Open!"
The talisman exploded in the air and a white eye appeared in midair. At the same time, a fuzzy image appeared in Master Zhang Tian's mind, gradually becoming clearer. In the image, it was a man wearing a black mask currently running along a small street outside the Heavenly Dragon Imperial Palace. It was Feng Xiao.
The image disappeared and Master Zhang Tian said with cupped hands, "Emperor, he is currently coming to the Imperial Palace. He is currently outside the palace and should arrive in around five minutes."
"Good!" The Heavenly Dragon Emperor was filled with joy, "He must be here to offer the qilin blood to this one. He really is the number one warrior, keeps his promise, having heart and righteousness. Quickly, this one needs to personally greet him."
Doctor Huang and Master Zhang Tian were both shocked. They cupped their hands and said, "Emperor, you musn't! Although Feng Xiao has performed an amazing merit, with your majesty's post, how could you go welcome a normal person? This little minister should go instead."
"Normal person?" The Heavenly Dragon Emperor gave a smile that said he thought otherwise, "Can a normal person find a qilin that our imperial palace has searched many years for and even take it as a pet?"
Huang and Zhang were both at a loss for words.
"Not to mention he is the successor of the Asura…..Rise, we're heading to the Imperial City's west gate."
