Chapter 3049: Chapter 84: The Blissful Master_2

"This... This is impossible!" The stall owner suddenly became a bit panicked, "This is our family’s heirloom passed down through generations, how could it be fake?"

Seeing this, the crowd’s suspicion of him grew even stronger.

Immediately.

Among the people watching, there was someone knowledgeable who stepped forward to appraise the Jade Pendant and then announced the result: "The True Immortal senior here is correct, this is indeed Purple Green Jade, and it’s quite new."

"Turns out he’s really a fraud."

"Indeed, I almost believed he was a descendant of the Jade Dragon Golden Immortal."

"Actually, it’s nothing; whose ancestors don’t have distinguished figures?"

Good heavens!

Someone truly dares to commit fraud here in Demon City.

It’s known that the Tai Yin Ming Spirit Tree in the Nether Soul Hall always emphasizes ’reputation.’ It believes that in the Dao of commerce, only trust can ensure longevity.

In its territory, anyone found cheating or deceiving is sure to regret living in this world.

"I’m really not a fraud, everyone must believe me." The stall owner turned pale, repeatedly defending as if refusing to accept the truth, "This Jade Pendant truly is passed down from my ancestors, I don’t know why the ancestral Jade Pendant has turned into Purple Green Jade."

"Arguing." The middle-aged True Immortal, with a cold face, pulled the stall owner and said, "Come, I’ll take you to the Nether Soul Hall and even earn a reward."

"Wait!" At this time, Senior Brother Youzong couldn’t bear it and called out, "Let me have a look at that Jade Pendant."

The middle-aged True Immortal hesitated for a moment, but seeing Senior Brother Youzong’s remarkable demeanor and thick, solid Immortal Spirit Qi, seemingly even surpassing his own strength, he eventually said nothing and just mumbled a few words before stepping aside.

Senior Brother Youzong took the Jade Pendant and scrutinized it for a while, his expression growing severe.

He took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Just now I sensed a faint unusual aura, this outer layer of Purple Green Jade is merely a disguise, covering the true attributes of the Jade Pendant."

Saying this, he gently pinched, and the outer layer of Purple Green Jade crumbled into powder in his hand, revealing an ancient-looking green Jade Pendant inside.

The green Jade Pendant was slightly smaller than the previous one, with surface engravings of golden dragon patterns, its jade texture refined, and the craftsmanship excellent, clearly not an ordinary item.

The previous layer of Purple Green Jade evidently functioned to isolate Divine Sense and aura. Without its cover, the mysterious and profound aura from the Jade Pendant immediately spread, sending a shock through everyone’s hearts.

Instantly, the surrounding crowd erupted in discussion, awed and amazed.

They hadn’t expected this Jade Pendant to have such a turnabout, almost wrongly accusing the stall owner.

Senior Brother Youzong returned the Jade Pendant to the stall owner and curiously asked, "Do you know why your ancestor would add an outer shell to the Purple Green Jade? If not for my sharp God Sense, it would be hard to see through this riddle."

The stall owner repeatedly thanked Senior Brother Youzong: "Thank you, noble sir, for upholding justice. I don’t understand my ancestor’s intentions. But roughly ten thousand years ago, our family suffered a great calamity, forced to flee to a foreign land concealing our identity. Perhaps the Purple Green Jade outer shell relates to this event."

Everyone understood immediately.

This was a means employed by the stall owner’s ancestor to safeguard the family heirloom.

The Void Sea is vast, with numerous large and small families like stars, experiencing rise and fall is common, and similar tactics aren’t uncommon for families once flourishing, taking measures to preserve their foundation.

"Brother, it seems I indeed wronged you." The middle-aged True Immortal’s eyes flashed with greed, "Then according to the previously agreed price, I will purchase this Jade Pendant for five Chaos Spirit Stones."

"Not selling." The stall owner’s face turned solemn upon hearing this, decisively shaking his head, "You tarnished my innocence earlier, and now you want to buy my ancestral Jade Pendant? I’d rather sell it to the gentleman who upheld justice for me."

He turned and deeply bowed to Senior Brother Youzong: "Noble sir, it’s embarrassing to say, but if not for the sake of my children at home, I’d never sell the Old Ancestor’s item! I see you’re a person of extraordinary bearing, perhaps like Immortal beings. With our Jade Dragon Old Ancestor’s item entrusted to your hands, it won’t be disgraced. This Jade Pendant might hold secrets to our Old Ancestor’s legacy, which our family hasn’t deciphered for fifteen thousand years, likely not meant for us."

"This..." Senior Brother Youzong’s face was slightly flushed, "I can’t produce five Chaos Spirit Stones."

However, he was truly tempted.

If this Jade Pendant could indeed lead to Jade Dragon Golden Immortal’s legacy inheritance, not to mention five Chaos Spirit Stones, even five hundred would be worth it!

Unfortunately, he was short on money~

"How much can you offer, sir?" The stall owner decided with determination, "It’s rare to encounter a person like you matching my family item closely; I’d prefer to sell it at a discount to you."

Hearing this, already deeply tempted, Senior Brother Youzong didn’t hesitate.

He rummaged in his Storage Ring, taking out all the Spirit Stones he saved over the years for True Immortal Mid-Late Stage use, totaling over three Chaos Spirit Stones, his cheeks slightly tinged red saying, "This is all I have."

As a future Great Luo Golden Immortal and a direct disciple of a Taoist Master, he’s likely the poorest among his peers.

"To keep the treasure from being sullied..." The stall owner’s face changed unsteadily, seemingly making a major decision, gritting his teeth he said, "Alright, I’ll entrust this treasure to you, sir."
