C559 Something's Wrong
"Come and see what's interested." The fat cultivator laughed. His eyes were curved and it was easy for him to gain a good impression. "The price is fair."
Chu Yan did not look at the Chinese fir for the first time. Instead, he looked at it as if he was casually looking at it.
There were horns that flickered with golden stripes, who knew which demon beast it came from, gaunt and shriveled, but its fingernails were pointed to the point of its palms. There was also a bright flower pot with withered leaves.
Chu Yan looked at them one by one, and some of them were even raised up and weighed in his hands.
The fat guy didn't seem to mind and allowed Chu Yan to choose freely.
All these things were not good stuff, Chu Yan naturally did not like them.
After placing down the small sword, Chu Yan picked up the Chinese fir.
As soon as he touched it, it sank, causing Chu Yan's gaze to instantly narrow slightly.
"It's heavier than I thought." Chu Yan muttered to himself, and glanced at the fat vendor.
Suddenly, Chu Yan realized that when he had picked up this Chinese fir, a trace of panic flashed across the fatty's smiling eyes.
Chu Yan immediately became suspicious.
Therefore, he was not in a hurry to inquire about the price. Instead, he carefully sized it up.
On the surface, this Chinese fir indeed did not seem to have any problems.
The fault had clearly been split open by lightning.
After absorbing the Thunder Bone, Chu Yan's perception towards lightning was a little sharper than the average cultivator.
Therefore, at this moment, he could even feel traces of the remaining lightning energy from the fault of the Chinese fir.
As for the area where the Chinese fir was burnt black, it had obviously been burned by the forest after being struck by the lightning.
On the surface, this Chinese fir was indeed the kind that Chu Yan needed.
Seeing that Chu Yan seemed to be interested in this Chinese fir, the fatty revealed an expression of indifference: "Little brother, what do you think of this Chinese fir? To tell you the truth, this Chinese fir was also found by me once in a forest that was almost burnt to the ground.
The fat cultivator spoke on Chu Yan's behalf, not mentioning the price, he was clearly an experienced businessman.
"Mm, I'll keep watching." Chu Yan nodded, bringing the Chinese fir closer to his eyes.
If it was based on his demand for Chinese fir, Chu Yan would have already asked for the price and bought it himself. After all, perceptive eye was extremely important to him.
After passing through this village, they might not even have this shop anymore.
However, just now, the Chinese fir was abnormally heavy, and the fat cultivator instantly revealed a panicked expression, which made Chu Yan feel suspicious.
Observing once again, rubbed his fingers on the Chinese fir's surface carefully, in the process, he also secretly observed the fatty's expression.
It seemed that the fat cultivator did not care about Chu Yan's actions at all, and during this time, he even tried to recruit other cultivators who passed by to do business. However, Chu Yan realized that the other party's gaze would always land on him, intentionally or unintentionally.
After putting down the Chinese fir, Chu Yan sighed.
If his eyes couldn't tell, then he could just use his spiritual sense.
Chu Yan's spirit sense was also much stronger than cultivators of the same level, and the reason he decided to use his spirit sense was because the moment he put down the Chinese fir, he discovered that the fat vendor's eyes had a clear look of relief.
Sweeping his consciousness across it, it didn't take Chu Yan long to realize that his senses were right.
This Chinese fir really had a problem!
The problem was the charred section.
There was an extremely thin cut at that place, and Chu Yan's consciousness also discovered that there was a piece of fine iron stuffed into the Chinese fir.
The fine iron was much heavier than the Chinese fir, so it was no wonder that the Chinese fir was heavier than Chu Yan had expected.
After realising that there was something fishy going on, Chu Yan felt reassured.
He held onto the Chinese fir and looked at the fat vendor: "How much?"
Hearing that Chu Yan had plans to ask for more, the fat vendor laughed until his eyes narrowed, "Little brother, since we are so fated, I won't take it all for free. Five hundred spirit stones, what do you think about it?"
"It's too expensive." Chu Yan shook his head.
"That's not too expensive." I think you are someone who knows what's good for you, so you should at least grow it up to two hundred years if you want to trigger a lightning strike. During these two hundred years, it is necessary to prevent insects from getting worm-eaten and other trees from stealing the nutrients in them. Most importantly, after being struck by the lightning strike, it is also necessary to ignite a huge fire and start a purge of lightning and fire.
Little brother, you know it as well. Thunder and lightning are usually accompanied by heavy rain, so when the fire started, it would immediately be extinguished by the heavy rain.
And look, this Chinese fir of mine is so long and big, if it wasn't for me bragging, even Wan Hai Chamber of Commerce wouldn't be as big as me. To be able to reach the size of a palm, it can be considered pretty good.
Wan Hai Chamber of Commerce, you definitely know this, if you go in and buy Chinese fir, you would be even worse off than me.
So you see, I sold you five hundred Spirit Stones, which is equivalent to giving it away for free. The main reason is because I feel that we are fated to meet again, perhaps I will be able to see you again in the future. "
The fat vendor was extremely sincere. Coupled with his expression, if it was a normal person, they would have already been persuaded by him.
Chu Yan laughed and took a step closer. Using a slight force from his fingertips, he passed the Chinese fir in front of the other party: "But, this Chinese fir of yours really isn't worth that price."
"How could that be? Look —" The fat vendor glanced at the Chinese fir in front of him, and his words came to a halt.
At this moment, he could clearly see that the cut on the ground below the Chinese fir had obviously grown bigger. Moreover, the part of the wood that was stuffed into the metal had started to rise up.
The fat vendor was stunned. Raising his head to look at Chu Yan's smiling yet not smiling face, he suddenly felt a burning sensation on his cheeks.
The other party had long seen that there was something wrong with the Chinese fir, and she had even talked so much. In the other party's eyes, wasn't her actions a little too ridiculous?
However, the fat vendor quickly reacted.
He was very confident in his craftsmanship, and thought that it was impossible for such a large cut to appear out of thin air.
The only possibility was that the other party had purposely exposed the location of the forgery after discovering it.
Fatty's gaze immediately fixed on the five fingers on Chu Yan's hand that were holding onto the Chinese fir.
However, Chu Yan did not mind. He smiled and looked at the other party: "Look, this Chinese fir is not as good as you say, so I want the eight hundred spirit stones, what do you think?"
