Chapter 63: Unusual Object
Something about the giant egg, caught his eye and Sage immediately asked about it.
Ahh, what a discerning eye you have, Sir Lang. That is one of my most treasured objects! Legend says that its the egg of a Dragon, but as you can see there is no lifeforce coming from it. Its nothing more than an unfertilized egg, probably from a Demonic Beast. Its only use now is as an ingredient for an alchemist, but its far too beautiful for that. Theres plenty of other demon eggs to use for alchemy but such a large and beautifully scaled golden egg is a much better decoration!
As Sage got a better look, he also noticed that the eggs shell seemed to be shaped like overlapping scales, each with a sharp point facing upward. After getting permission he even walked behind the desk and got a closer look, at which point he saw that the egg-shell didnt just have a scale pattern on it, but it actually looked like the egg was armored in individual golden scales. He also didnt feel any signs of life from it, meaning it was likely quite true what Xuan Bai said on the other hand, he didnt need an egg to have life in order to benefit from it. I have to have it. This could be a lucky break!
So began a round of intense negotiations. Sage knew he was in trouble as soon as Xuan Bai introduced the item as one of his most treasured objects. Obviously, it wasnt. If it was treasured by him it wouldnt be in the showroom, and it definitely wouldnt be behind the desk where everyone who came in to do business was guaranteed to see it. It was more likely something was wrong with it that made it unusable as an alchemical or cooking material and so now it was stuck here as a decoration. He carefully hinted at different ways that the Egg could be useless until finally stumbling upon it.
The shell is so very powerful and amazing, not even a herd of beasts could break it. Wouldnt an intrepid warrior like yourself want their decorative treasures to be immune to damage?
Yes, youre quite correct. I noticed an indentation on one of the desks that perfectly matched one of these items, so Im guessing that these are all objects that were found in the desks. If thats the case then they are worth far more as a matching set!
Sage was pleased by the news since he didnt care in the least about engraved writing pens, jeweled paperweights, and embossed letter openers. Hed already sorted out all the valuable magic tools, but he brought them out just to be sure. Unfortunately, the price that Xuan Bai offered was basically the same as hed get selling them to anyone else. They were magic tools and were far more valuable than antiques. A simple magic tool could cost dozens to hundreds of spirit stones, so their value was only barely raised by being antiques. This was an Antiques Shop so Xuan Bai wasnt in the business of buying magic tools, it was the same reason the weapons case only had top-grade mortal treasures and no magic treasures. They were worth far more to Cultivators than to collectors. Oh well, may as well let him have mostly complete sets!
Sage even brought back some of the basic stationary and supplies hed found in the desk and Xuan Bai was able to pick out a few with value. Sheets of paper that had been on top of the stack picked up some impressions of ink from the sheets above it. The small jars the inks were stored in, the case that had held the Memory Force, along with a few other decorative objects Sage had overlooked. He threw them all into the deal. He only had a little under five thousand spirit stones right now and had come here to make money, not spend it!
Finally, he got the balance he owed down to four thousand spirit stones. When he took out the stones to pay he stopped and had one last question.
You dont have any other eggs here, do you?The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Ñøv€lß1n.
