  After Chu Yu took out the three items and placed them on the sales counter, it wasn't long before someone approached. "Could this be the Shaoyang Pearl?" The person who came forward was a middle-aged man, who first carefully examined the three items in the counter before hesitantly asking.

  "Good eyesight, just like the pearl of Lesser Yang."

  Although the three items brought by Chu Yu are rare, they do not represent that no one can identify them. It is worth noting that whether it is a cultivation family or a cultivation sect that has transcended the world, almost all cultivators have a high talent for appraising treasures. Firstly, this is because the path of cultivation cannot be separated from the assistance of heaven and earth treasures. Secondly, almost any heaven and earth treasure that has appeared in the cultivation world will definitely have someone record its appearance, characteristics, and effects, and then pass it down to later generations so that they can recognize them. Therefore, for those inheritors of cultivation families or sects who have been passed down for generations, it is not difficult to identify the Shaoyang Pearl, which belongs to the top-grade refining material.

  The middle-aged man put down the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, pretending to be calm and said: "The Shaoyang Pearl should also be considered a high-quality immortal stone. Name a price, I'll buy this one."

  "It's obviously a top-grade spiritual stone, yet you deliberately lowballed it... Chu Yu secretly sneered to herself, wanting to kill the price, and even if it were Paogu Sanren, known as the number one little villain of the Zhongtu Xiu Zhen realm, there would be no way."

  "I'm not short of money, I just exchange it, don't sell it." Chu Yu Mo said casually.

  "Not selling for money? I can give you this price......" The middle-aged man leaned in and reported a number, "Five million US dollars, little brother, this price is already the limit. You should also know that there are not many people in the industry who have my discerning eye, and if you pass up this opportunity, you won't find another one like it."

  "Only exchange, not sell." Chu Yu gave a four-word reply as usual, cold and detached. The middle-aged man saw that Chu Yu was unmoved, and couldn't help but shake his head, saying that he really didn't have anything of equal value to exchange for the Shaoyang Pearl.

  Seeing the middle-aged man leave in a huff, Chu Yuxin thought for a moment and took out paper and pen to write four big characters "Exchange goods with goods" on the sales counter. This way, many greedy guys were indeed sent away.

  Seeing the eager gaze of Hua Tianxiong scanning around, Chu Yu knew that his old subordinate's collecting habit had relapsed again. He shook his head and smiled: "Hero, I'll keep an eye on things here, you go take a stroll around, buy everything you think is good, of course, if there's something particularly great or only exchangeable but not for sale, you can come find me."

  Since Hua Tianxiong first brought back a batch of treasures from the UK, Chu Yu spent several hours teaching him some professional techniques for identifying and appraising antiques. With Hua Tianxiong's 30 years of experience in collecting treasures, his ability to identify and appraise antiques is now no worse than that of any seasoned master of a prestigious family. Therefore, Chu Yu was at ease with letting him go and satisfy his craving for collecting rare and precious items.

  Look at Hu Tianxiong, haha, rushing to other shelves for sale. Xibei, who had been following behind Chu Yu with a pouting mouth, muttered: "Such a big person, still acting like a child." While saying this, she shifted her target and rushed towards Chu Yu: "This one is just the opposite, probably younger than me, but pretending to be mature, making himself look like a little adult... This world is really strange!"

  The girl's muttering was extremely quiet, but how could Chu Yu not hear it with her sensitive hearing? However, Chu Yu didn't pay much attention to her and just smiled, and it was unclear why she deliberately kept this fake little brother by her side.

  Because Chu Yu Tie brought out the four characters "with goods for goods", fewer and fewer people came to his sales counter. Some people did not recognize these three treasures, while others who recognized them asked themselves if they could take out equivalent items to exchange with him, or simply didn't need them.

  After another ten minutes or so, an old man with a white beard finally came forward, "I want both the Shaoyang Pearl and that meteorite iron. I can offer treasures worth more than their total value in exchange, but before that, I'd like to test the goods."

  Chu Yu waved his hand casually and said, "No problem."

  Having obtained Chu Yu's permission, the old man carefully took the Shaoyang Pearl in his hand. Originally, the Shaoyang Pearl only showed a faint golden light, but when it reached the old man's palm, its light suddenly became much brighter. Although it was only for an instant before disappearing, it still allowed Chu Yu to guess something big with his keen eyesight.

  "He can rely on his innate true yuan to trigger the extreme yang properties within the Shao Yang Pearl, this old man's cultivation strength is not to be underestimated, and he should only be one step away from breaking through to the Yuan Ying realm. Moreover, this old man is also a rare pure fire attribute cultivator, the Shao Yang Pearl is extremely important to him as an auxiliary item." With this calculation in mind, Chu Yu had already determined how to sell this Shao Yang Pearl.

  "That's right, the top-grade immortal stone, Shaoyang Pearl, is a great thing!" The old man sighed and put the Shaoyang Pearl back in its original place. Then, he took out the Meteorite Iron and held it between his thumb and index finger, as if he was about to exert force suddenly. After a moment, the old man put the Meteorite Iron back in its original place, "Although this Meteorite Iron is not as useful to me as the Shaoyang Pearl, it's still a great treasure."

  "They are all top-grade treasures." The old man nodded towards Chu Yu and said, "This old man has examined the two items clearly, and will no longer be reserved. Little friend, take a look at this 'Nine Python Condensing Jade Bangle' of mine, is it enough to exchange for these two things?"

  The old man took out a ring about two fingers wide, with a dark green color that seemed like jade but not jade, nor was it made of gold or iron. It was unclear what material it was made of. At first glance, there was nothing unusual about it, but under Chu Yu's sharp eyesight, he clearly saw nine giant pythons carved on the ring, each with a different shape and lifelike appearance, as if they might jump out at any moment.

  "It's not a treasure..." Chu Yu had already determined, and then he noticed that the color of the bangle was changing under the reflection of the light, from dark green to emerald green. The nine giant pythons carved on the bangle also changed their appearance, originally coiled, now raised their heads, originally rushing towards the sky, now sweeping horizontally...

  "This discovery made Chu Yu's eyes flash with insight, 'A ring of unknown material that can change color... and even I myself cannot confirm what this thing is... Could it be a product from the Da Dao Fēng Zhēn era three thousand years ago? It seems that only the artifacts from that era are something I have never encountered before.'"

  At the same time as her mind was racing, Chu Yu remained calm and composed, "What's so special about this bangle, Elder? You might as well tell me."

  "This object is a thousand-year inheritance of the Bai family... The old man hesitated and said: "This bangle can transform into nine python wonders. If you urge the prenatal true yuan to enter, it can generate defensive power equivalent to that of an initial third-level magic treasure..."

  "What's more?" Chu Yu didn't care about a low-grade third-tier magic treasure and didn't show any surprise, continuing to ask.

  "What else can you want?" The old man said somewhat annoyed: "Can't I use a first-grade, third-level ancestral treasure to exchange for an immortal stone with you, and the same refining material, are you still not satisfied?"

  Perhaps if it weren't for Chu Yu being a grandmaster of refining treasures, anyone would have exchanged the Shaoyang Pearl and Meteorite Iron without hesitation to obtain this seemingly low-level defensive treasure. After all, materials are easy to come by, but treasures are hard to find. Even with countless materials, without the corresponding skills and strength to refine them into treasures, it's still a waste.

  The old man's irate words unexpectedly delighted Chu Yu, it was clear that the other party was not aware of the true value of this "Nine Python Condensing Azure Bangle", and actually treated a highly likely Sealing Heaven relic as a mediocre magic treasure for trade.

  "It's not what I meant either, in that case, let's just exchange then." Chu Yu said as calmly as possible.

  "It's settled." The old man quickly stuffed the "Nine Python Condensed Jade Ring" into Chu Yu's hand, and then took the Shao Yang Pearl and Meteorite Iron from the counter without any politeness, putting them into his bosom. It was unclear whether he felt that he had taken advantage of the situation and needed to leave quickly, or if he really had an urgent matter to attend to. In a short while, he had already disappeared from Chu Yu's sight.

  The bangle felt icy to the touch, and its weight was several times that of a gold or iron object of the same volume. As soon as Chu Yu took it, he input a strand of innate true yuan, and just as the old man had said earlier, a circle of almost imperceptible aura suddenly emerged from it.

  After achieving this effect, Chu Yu immediately withdrew the Xiantian Zhenyuan and took the ring to his eyes for a good look. However, he didn't notice anything special about it. But when he turned the ring slightly, he suddenly felt that the nine giant pythons inlaid on the ring seemed to come alive, or at least, they moved in Chu Yu's concentrated gaze.

  "This bangle must still have other strange secrets to explore, let's talk about it after the auction is over." With this in mind, Chu Yu put the "Nine Python Condensed Emerald Bangle" into his pocket, and then took out the remaining Bi Xi Wen Jade from the counter and also put it into his pocket.

  "Hey, where are you going?" The girl who had been sitting behind Chu Yu saw him close the cabinet and prepare to leave, and she stood up anxiously to ask.

  "I've experienced the joy of being a seller, now I want to experience the pleasure of being a buyer." Chu Yu didn't comment and said: "Do you want to come with me to meet Zhang Chang?"
