C250 Wood Carving and Ancient Books

Yan Zhengnan had Advanced Divine Warrior and a peerless divine weapon in his hands, the Heaven's End Bow.

Reportedly, on the battlefield of the Inca Empire, a sword strike had defeated dozens of intermediate Magic Mentor s, and from then on, the armies of the Inca Empire did not dare to cross the borders by even half a step.

And Lin Chengzhou's meaning was obvious. Yan Zhengnan had returned to the capital to study Ye Tian.

At this moment, Ye Tian glanced at the antiques in the cabinet again. Just as he was about to leave, his eyes suddenly caught an ancient book mixed with mud in the bottom corner of the shelf.

Ye Tian wasn't interested in antiques, but he was still a bit curious about ancient books.

Walking to the corner, Ye Tian bent down and picked up the ancient book. He held it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

The cover of the ancient book had clearly been completely lost. The topmost page was already a piece of yellowed paper, and the words on it were already indistinct. Due to the excessive wetness, the many pages below were all stuck together. Without some special techniques, it was impossible to open the pages one by one.

Ye Tian stretched out his finger, gently picked up a corner of the page and slowly opened a part of it.

A few lines of seal type reflected Ye Tian's eyes.

Ye Tian didn't plan to look closely at the beginning, but when these lines of text appeared in Ye Tian's mind, the soul master skill in Ye Tian's body instantly activated.

The contents of these lines of text were exactly the same as the chants Hua Tianrou had given him.

He never thought that he would find a high level soul master skill book here.

After staring blankly for a while, Ye Tian turned his head and looked at the shopkeeper and said: "How much is this ancient book?"

The shopkeeper smirked and said, "Young master, since you're dressed well and have an elegant appearance, you must be either rich or noble. This old man doesn't dare to bully you. To be honest, this ancient book isn't worth much."

Reaching this point, the shopkeeper paused for a moment and continued, "When this ancient book was unearthed, I originally thought it was a high level martial skill scroll or magic book. It is absolutely not a martial skill or magic technique, nor is it a Summoning Technique. "

"Later on, I specifically looked for a Symbol Master to take a look. What is recorded in this book is also not the Talisman Crafting Technique. "Later on, I copied some of the words in the book, and asked the alchemists and doctors of Inca Empire to take a look at them again. This book is also not medicine or medicine.

The shopkeeper sighed and continued, "Almost all the different occupations in the entire continent have been appraised. Although this ancient book seems precious, it is just a piece of nonsense, completely useless."

Ye Tian tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart and thought to himself: This is a book exclusive to Soul Masters. Even if you look for all the professions in the world, as long as you aren't a Soul Master, you won't be able to understand it.

Thinking about this, Ye Tian also pretended not to understand. "Although this book has no practical value, judging from its texture and color, it has been buried underground for at least hundreds of years. For a scholar like me, it is still quite valuable."

At this point, Ye Tian raised his head, glanced at the shopkeeper, and said: "Give me a price, how much are these books sold for?"

The manager slightly narrowed his eyes, and his heart was beating like a drum.

There was a basis for the valuation. It was either based on the value of the item itself or on how strong the person who wanted to buy it wanted to buy it.

Seeing this ancient book, it seemed that it had no value in itself. After going through the hands of the shopkeeper several times, he had put it away for quite some time.

At this moment, the shopkeeper had carefully observed Ye Tian. Even though Ye Tian had expressed a certain desire to buy, he didn't think that the book was very important to Ye Tian.

After thinking for a while, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "Young master, it is not easy to dig out this book again after seeing the light of day. How about this, just give me three taels of silver as a labour fee."

Hearing the shopkeeper's words, Ye Tian was happy.

He was still able to take out three silver taels without holding back. Ye Tian was afraid that the shopkeeper would see through his intention to buy this ancient book, so he asked for a sky-high price.

However, Ye Tian still frowned and repeated: "3 taels of silver?"

Seeing that Ye Tian seemed like he wanted to give up, the shopkeeper quickly said: "Young master, in order to dig out this ancient book, it took a lot of effort and a lot of tools. Also, look at the texture of this ancient book. "Young master, how about this, you are a scholar, I will sell you for half and give you half. Please pay two taels of silver, we won't talk anymore."

Ye Tian took the opportunity to descend and weighed the ancient book in his hand. Then, he said: "Okay, two taels then."

He extended his hand into his pocket and withdrew a banknote worth 10 silver and passed it to the manager.

The shopkeeper was full of smiles as he took the banknotes. Then, he took out some banknotes with small denominations and counted the banknotes before handing them back to Ye Tian.

Ye Tian took back the 8 taels of silver notes and weighed it in his hand again. Then, he lifted his foot and prepared to leave.

At this moment, Ye Tian's peripheral vision suddenly caught a glimpse of something on the table in the room.

The object looked like a wooden sculpture, but also like a miniature model. It was about a foot tall, shaped like a classical Chinese pagoda.

In Ye Tian's experience, this Wood-carving Tower was like a miniature model of the unknown lakeshore in his previous life.

Under the attraction, Ye Tian's gaze immediately shifted over and stared straight at the Wood-carving Tower.

The moment Ye Tian's gaze made contact with the Wood-carving Tower, the surrounding scenery immediately changed.

Shangyun Pavilion's house immediately disappeared, and before his eyes was a vast expanse of wilderness. Low, shallow grasses spread out from his feet, stretching all the way to the horizon.

Ye Tian stared with wide eyes, he didn't know why such an illusion suddenly appeared.

Turning his head, Ye Tian looked to the left. On the horizon, there was something moving.

Ye Tian frowned and was shocked when he carefully distinguished the difference. The horizon was filled with a dense cluster of Devil Beast, Divine Beast, skeletons, ghosts and unknown demons.

The moment he read it, Ye Tian could feel that these Devil Beast, Divine Beast, and demons were at least Level 7. In terms of strength, their Primary Magic Mentor were actually at the same level as Ye Tian's.

However, if the dense mass were to surround Ye Tian, it would definitely eat him alive.

At this time, these Divine Beast and Devil Beast at least a few hundred miles away seemed to have discovered Ye Tian's existence. They wriggled and quickly headed towards Ye Tian's location.

Ye Tian's eyes were wide open as he turned his head to the other side.

In the setting sun, a tall tower stood impressively on the horizon. If it wasn't for the unnamed lake and the Swallow Garden, Ye Tian would have suspected that it was the Peking University from his previous life.

Looking at the vaguely familiar Boya Pagoda, Ye Tian felt an illusion again.

Suddenly, a voice sounded by his ear, "Young Master? Why are you in a daze? "

The scene in front of his eyes distorted once again and Ye Tian once again returned to the side room in the Shangyun Pavilion's backyard.

Ye Tian turned around and stared at the shopkeeper who was confused. He recalled the horde of Devil Beast and Divine Beast that covered the sky, and his heart was beating fast.

That feeling of facing complete death and destruction without any signs of retreat and life left Ye Tian with an indescribable fear and dread.

His eyes glanced at the wooden tower. Ye Tian looked at the shopkeeper and pointed at the middle of the square table. "What the hell is that tower?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment before looking at Ye Tian's finger. When he saw the Wood-carving Tower on the square table, he laughed and said: "Young master, that's not a treasure, it's only a wooden sculpture."

Ye Tian smacked his lips. He glanced at the shopkeeper and continued: "How much is this wooden carving?"

Hearing Ye Tian's words, the shopkeeper walked to the side of the table, picked up the Wood-carving Tower, and returned to Ye Tian. He said: "I accidentally obtained this wooden sculpture when I was passing through God Demon Valley five years ago. At the time, I also thought that this was an unearthly treasure, but after several years spent in the shop, the number of mages, warriors, summoners, and talisman craftsmen who had seen this wood carving were at least eighty, but none of them could find anything of value. Therefore, I decided to just take this wooden sculpture into the backyard and treat it as an ornament. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to sell it.

Ye Tian thought for a while and recalled the time when he saw the wooden sculpture of Boya Tower. He then mobilized a trace of soul power in his body.

It seemed that the wood carving of Boya Tower had something to do with the soul master's ability.

Thinking about this, Ye Tian pointed to the Wood-carving Tower in the shopkeeper's hand and said: "I quite like this wood carving, name a price."

The shopkeeper looked at Ye Tian, then smiled and said: "To me, this wooden carving can only be considered an ornament, but the workmanship of this thing is still very meticulous. How about this, Young Master, you give me a silver tael and take it away."

Without a word, Ye Tian took out one of the eight silver notes and passed it to the shopkeeper. He then took the Wood-carving Tower and looked at it before turning around and walking towards the entrance of the main hall.1

Arriving at the front hall, he saw that Ye Tian was holding an ancient book in one hand and a wooden sculpture in the other, so it was quite inconvenient. The shopkeeper took out a cloth bag from the drawer of the main counter and handed it to Ye Tian.

Ye Tian smiled, thinking that this shopkeeper was quite considerate.

After putting the ancient book and wooden sculpture into a cloth bag, Ye Tian smiled at the shopkeeper as he carried the cloth bag and left Shangyun Pavilion gate.

Looking at Ye Tian's back, the shopkeeper was a little stunned. This transaction was really strange. For a moment, the manager actually had a feeling of loss, as if he'd made a huge loss in business.

Ye Tian's outer appearance definitely didn't look like an experienced businessman. Because of this, the shopkeeper didn't doubt that the ancient books and wooden carvings were some kind of unknown treasure. Ye Tian happily bought two items, which made the shopkeeper suspicious. Could it be that he was really mistaken? These two plain and ordinary things were truly treasures.

After thinking for a long time, the manager shook his head and laughed at himself. No matter what was said, these two items had been in the shop for more than a year or two. Even if it was a good treasure, it would still be useless if it could not be exchanged for money. Now, not only had he cleared out two areas, but he had also exchanged them for four taels of silver.

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper glanced at Ye Tian's back as he gradually disappeared into the distance. Then, he hummed a small tune before returning to the shop.
