Chapter 312 Dilapidated Ancient Talisman
The black market boss's originally smiling expression froze a bit.

After dealing with him many times, the boss of the black market felt that he knew Jiang Yue better.

Now it seems that he still underestimated this young man's determination.

His face was serious: "Mr. Jiang's standard is too high, isn't it? Just put my good things in the auction, how many people will snatch them up, do you believe it or not?"

"I believe it." Jiang Yue didn't argue, just smiled and didn't refute at all.

The aura that the boss of the black market had built up was immediately blocked by Jiang Yue's two words, neither salty nor light.

After staring at Jiang Yue for a long time, the boss of the black market sighed, "But why do I feel that, in the eyes of Mr. Jiang, all of our stuff is like a shabby business?"

"It's serious."

Jiang Yue smiled and said: "You are all good things, including many items that appear on the black market. They are all good things. It's just—weak water for three thousand, I only take a scoop."

The boss of the black market held the cup with his hand, and had the urge to smash the cup at Jiang Yue's face.

He showed two batches of lists back and forth, one of ordinary and one of better quality. In fact, he wanted to use this progressive method to break down Jiang Yue's psychological defense and make Jiang Yue reject more times. , felt guilty and apologetic, and then gradually captured Jiang Yue's psychology, so that he could get out of Jiang Yue's magic talisman bit by bit.

Including his pretending to be angry just now, all kinds of affectations are actually aimed at this purpose.

It's a pity that it's like throwing a wink at a blind man.

No matter how he calculated, Jiang Yue didn't even accept the move.

I don't dislike your poor stuff, nor do I say I don't have a talisman.

In a word, stuff is nice, but I don't need it.

Black market transactions are, after all, transactions.

Trading requires trading rules.

You can have all kinds of intrigue, all kinds of psychological tactics, and all kinds of conspiracies, but the basic rule of buying and selling is voluntary, which cannot be changed after all.

The boss of the black market stared at Jiang Yue sullenly.

The two stared at each other.

"Hahaha..." The tense face of the boss of the black market suddenly relaxed, and he slapped the table and laughed.

"Mr. Jiang is not very old, he is indeed an expert. I am convinced, really convinced."

This is a businessman, who sings red face and bad face.

All kinds of actions are actually to achieve their own goals.

However, Jiang Yue is completely immune to these routines.

"Mr. Jiang, it seems that you really can't catch those things before. It's okay, I do have a few rare items here. I want to ask Mr. Jiang to hold your eyes."

This time, the tone of the boss of the black market was extremely humble.

He slowly took out a box from the safe under the desk.

This box is actually made of high-quality jade.Just looking at the jade box makes one feel that it must contain something extraordinary.

"Mr. Jiang, have a look?"

The other party slowly pushed the jade box towards Jiang Yue, pressed the button of the jade box lightly, and flipped the lid open, revealing the contents inside.

Inside the box was an old scrap of paper.

To be precise, this is a residual talisman.

The talisman paper looked dilapidated, like the tattered clothes of a beggar, looking extremely miserable.

The remnant talisman was lying in the jade box, which made Jiang Yue feel strange for the first time.

It's like a coffin is opened, and there is a dead zombie sleeping inside.And the jade box is exactly this expensive coffin.

"Mr. Jiang, you are a genius in the field of talismans. What do you think of this talisman?"

Jiang Yue did not take out the residual talisman, but let it lie in the jade box and observed it carefully for a while.

"Can I get started?"

"Hehe, I'm definitely worried about other people's hands-on. Mr. Jiang's hands-on is what I wish for. Just look at it, even if it's broken or disabled, it's its good fortune."

The words of the boss of the black market are very beautiful.

Jiang Yue did not rush, took a pair of white gloves, and carefully took the residual talisman out of the jade box.

Spread out in the palm of his hand, Jiang Yue observed from multiple angles.

After observing for a while, Jiang Yue was basically sure that this was indeed a talisman, at least it used to be a talisman.

Today, perhaps because the time is too long, the spiritual power has been greatly lost, and people can hardly feel its spiritual power fluctuations.

That's why Jiang Yue thought this broken talisman looked like a zombie lying in a coffin.

The rank of this talisman should be at least above the third rank, or even higher.

From the material point of view, this is not ordinary yellow paper, but some kind of special talisman paper synthesized from special materials.

Jiang Yue had never seen this kind of special talisman paper so far.

In the inheritance of Lao Jiang's family, the production of this kind of talisman paper has been mentioned, but many materials are relatively rare. Even before the advent of the strange era, it is impossible for normal humans to have heard of these materials.

Just looking at the material is only one aspect.

On the other hand, although the spiritual power of this talisman has faded, there are traces of the technique on the talisman.

In Jiang Yue's view, the construction method of this talisman, and the various skills in the production process are definitely not comparable to low-level talismans.

The amount of spiritual power required to make this talisman is definitely a terrifying amount, and it must be a huge project.

At least at the current stage, Jiang Yue definitely doesn't have this spiritual power, nor does he currently have this production ability.

Especially the depiction of many lines in this talisman, in the eyes of an expert like Jiang Yue, the technical content has reached an exaggerated level.

Jiang Yue couldn't determine the year and month of this talisman, but one thing he could be sure of was that the maker of this talisman was definitely a great talisman master.

The residual talisman was put back into the jade box by Jiang Yue, and slowly pushed back to the boss of the black market.

"This is indeed an ancient Taoist talisman, but it's a pity that it's a broken talisman, and its spiritual power has been lost. It can be regarded as a good thing, but it is no longer practical."

The boss of the black market was not surprised when he heard Jiang Yue's judgment.There was a slight look of disappointment in his eyes.

Can't help but ask: "Is there any possibility of recovering the loss of spiritual power?"

repair?

Jiang Yue pondered and said: "It's not completely impossible. The body of this ancient talisman has no destructive damage, and its subjectivity is still there. However, this ancient talisman has a very high level of technology, exquisite line structure, and superb skills. Now these I am afraid that the technique has been lost, so it is not easy to restore it?"

"Mr. Jiang is not sure either?"

"There is really nothing we can do at the moment." Jiang Yue replied.

"That is to say, there are opportunities in the future?" The boss of the black market is very good at catching the loopholes in language.

"The future? Maybe." Jiang Yue didn't deny it either.

"Mr. Zhaojiang, how much is my ancient talisman worth?" asked the boss of the black market.

"It's hard to say." Jiang Yue smiled and refused to comment.

"Mr. Jiang, but it's okay to say."

"It's not that I don't want to say, the value of this thing is indeed a bit abstract. If you put it in an auction, most people will think that it is a broken talisman, a waste talisman, and has no use value at all. Maybe no one bids. "

"If you are a knowledgeable person, you may spend some money to fight for it. But it's hard to say whether it's worth buying it. If it can't be recovered, it can only be offered as an ancestor, with no real value."

"Of course, if it falls into the hands of someone who can repair it, the value of this thing is still very good. If the price of obtaining it is not high, it can be regarded as a leak."

To analyze the market price of an object, we have to return to its practical value in the end.

After all, the Weird Age is different from the Peaceful Age, and the so-called flourishing age collection doesn't work at all.

Whoever spends a lot of money to collect a residual talisman with no practical value is definitely not a wise choice.

"Then which type does Mr. Jiang belong to?"

The boss of the black market stared at Jiang Yue and asked.

"Boss, let's stop beating around the bush. What exactly do you want to ask?"

"Well, I have to say that Mr. Jiang is one of the most enjoyable but also the most difficult business partners I have ever met."

"I'm curious, what price is Mr. Jiang willing to pay for this ancient talisman?"

"The real price?"

"Sincere price!"

"Boss asks you so sincerely, and I'm not fooling around with you. For this residual talisman, I can produce a second-order evil spirit talisman, which is already its maximum trading value. If it is higher, it will definitely be unrealistic."

"A second-order evil spirit talisman, a magical talisman, this ancient talisman belongs to Mr. Jiang." The black market boss pushed the jade box to Jiang Yue again.

Jiang Yue skillfully pushed the jade box back.

"Boss, I'm estimating the price according to your request, not really bidding."

What a joke.

Just to estimate the price, the boss of the black market actually hit a snake with a stick and came to bargain.

A magical talisman and an advanced version of the evil spirit talisman.

Jiang Yue definitely couldn't agree to this price.

Leaving aside whether the ancient talisman is worth it or not, in this black market transaction, most of the second-order talisman used in any transaction is one for one, or even one for many.

There has never been two Tier [-] talismans exchanged for one object.

It's not that Jiang Yue is reluctant, it's because there is no object of that level yet, and it's worth buying a second-level talisman to exchange two for one.

The boss of the black market invited him over in private, playing all kinds of tricks, Jiang Yue knew it well, and knew that this was the other party's routine.

The ultimate goal is still for his second-order talisman.

It's not that Jiang Yue can't take out the second-order talisman, but the premise is that it's worth it.

This remnant talisman is worthy of his second-order talisman trading, but it is absolutely impossible to say two.

Therefore, Jiang Yue rejected the seemingly joking counter-offer of the black market boss as a joke.

He didn't even want to give the other party a chance to bargain.

Given this opportunity to the other party, the other party will inevitably have various fantasies.

What Jiang Yue wanted was to dispel the other party's illusions.

At any time, you must not leave the opponent with the illusion that the magic talisman is cheap and there is a lot of room for bargaining.

"Mr. Jiang, there must be no shortage of second-order talismans, right?"

Jiang Yue smiled wryly and said, "Why does the boss always have such an illusion?"

"I don't know why, but I always feel that Mr. Jiang himself should be an expert in talismans."

"This is another illusion. I only know a little bit. How to make a charm, I can say that I basically don't know how to do it."

Even if the other party guessed that those talismans were made by Jiang Yue himself, Jiang Yue just refused to admit it.Hold on to your stance and not let go.

In the context of the black market, the talisman was made by an elder, and that elder was definitely not on call, let alone a machine for making talismans.

Therefore, the talismans are by no means endless.

"Mr. Jiang is hiding something."

"Boss, we have dealt with each other many times, so don't play tricks on each other. Let me tell you, making talismans is a very magical skill. I am indeed learning from my elders. But this skill is really not that good. Easy to learn. Comprehension, mental strength, eyesight, spiritual power control, skills and other factors are all indispensable. It’s really not as easy to learn as learning to drive or cooking in technical school.”

In the professional field, the boss of the black market obviously doesn't understand.

Being bluffed by Jiang Yue, he was irrefutable for a while.

"Mr. Jiang, I wonder if your elder has time recently?"

"What do you think, boss?"

"This kind of senior expert, we usually can't climb high. If we have the opportunity to ask and learn in person..."

"This... Forgive me for not being the master of the elders. Maybe in the future, when the opportunity comes, there will be such an opportunity?"

"Isn't this senior expert in Star City recently?"

Jiang Yue sighed: "Nowadays, the situation is so rotten, it's hard for seniors to be alone, weird incidents are happening all over the place, and they are running around to put out fires, and they are also burnt out. How can they be in the mood to worry about these things?"

The implication is obvious, the elders and masters look down on the black market.

"Sigh." The boss of the black market sighed, slightly disappointed, but he still didn't give up. "Then, when you have time, can I ask this senior to step down and help me identify this ancient talisman? If the senior is willing to show respect , I will definitely prepare 1000 million appraisal fees for seniors."

"Boss, you still don't understand the temperament of seniors. If such seniors can be driven by mere money, how can they refine such exquisite talismans? At their level, worldly money has already It's not that important. Even if you don't regard money as dung, it is absolutely impossible for you to work hard for money. If your statement falls into the ears of senior experts, they will not agree, but will think it is an insult."

Although there is no such a senior expert, Jiang Yue's words are very bluffing.

Seniors have always had weird tempers, if they raise money, maybe it's really self-defeating?

The boss of the black market is always a businessman, and he has always believed that money can make ghosts turn mills, and no one can't be driven by money.If there is, it must be that the money is not enough.

Jiang Yue saw that the boss of the black market seemed hesitant to speak.Couldn't help but said: "Boss, I advise you not to have too high expectations for this broken talisman. If you have other good things, why don't you take them out and open your eyes?"

Jiang Yue was actually interested in this residual talisman, but the asking price of the other party far exceeded his expectations, so Jiang Yue didn't want to give the other party the illusion that he could negotiate.

Simply skip this ancient talisman and ask if the other party has any other good things.

The boss of the black market smiled strangely: "Of course there are good things. I still have an old product here, which I refuse to show to others easily. Mr. Jiang knows the goods, and I will let you have a good eye-opener today."

Compared with the humble tone of asking for advice when the talisman was broken, the tone of the black market boss this time is obviously much more bullish.
