C1147 It's Not a Treasure Is It!
Zhang Jilan didn't stop Ye Bufan when he saw that Ye Bufan was going to find the 'culprit'. He just looked at Ye Bufan with a smile and wanted to see what Ye Bufan was going to do.
In the end, he saw Ye Bufan kicking the grass repeatedly, as if he wanted to find the culprit who tripped him.
"Alright, alright, stop looking. It's time to gather." Zhang Jilan smiled for a while and reached out to pull Ye Bufan. If he wanted him to return to the team, he did not need to really care about such a small matter. Even if everyone laughed, it was just a friendly laughter. There was no need to be serious.
Who knew that at this moment, Ye Bufan suddenly stopped and shouted loudly, "Found it. It's this thing that tripped me. It's definitely not wrong!"
Zhang Jilan looked in the direction where Ye Bufan was pointing and saw a white thing sticking its head out from the grass.
"What is that?" He asked.
Ye Bufan scratched his head. "It can't be a treasure, right?"
"What!"
His unintentional words immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone's purpose of coming to Blood Bone Mountain was to search for treasure. Now that they had actually found the treasure, they naturally wanted to see if it was true or not.
Ye Bufan seemed to have received great encouragement as well. Immediately, he squatted down and dug a hole in the ground.
He didn't let anyone help him. He used the sword light to dig the ground into a mess. When he finally pulled the ivory out of the ground, everyone's jaws almost dropped.
"This! This luck is heaven-defying!"
Zhang Jilan felt a little sour in his heart, but he still felt happy for Ye Bufan.
He walked forward and patted Ye Bufan on the shoulder. "Mr Ye, you are really lucky. You were tripped by a treasure. Such a legend will spread in the martial world again."
Although the other cultivators were jealous, they also nodded their heads in agreement. This was how great luck was. It was obvious that many of them had the chance to do so. However, in the end, there would only be one person who would get lucky. This was the norm in Blood Bone Mountain. Therefore, other than feeling a little envious, no one had any malicious thoughts.
Under Zhang Jilan's lead, the other members also surrounded Ye Bufan and congratulated him.
With a discovery, the original plan of the team naturally had to be changed.
Zhang Jilan announced that the exploration activity would be suspended, and they would discuss how to deal with the ivory first.
Because they had already passed the rules regarding what to do with such a situation, no one raised any objections during the meeting, and they all agreed to follow the previously agreed plan to deal with the discovery this time.
All the members formed a big circle. Zhang Jilan was also among them. He said, "Since everyone agreed to deal with this discovery according to the agreed method, then I will start asking now."
"Anyone who needs this ivory can buy it with money. The highest bidder will get it. The final money will be divided among everyone. One third of it will belong to Mr Ye. Let's start now. Anyone who wants it can name a price. "
The group fell silent for a moment. No one made a bid immediately.
After all, they didn't know enough about this tusk. They felt that they shouldn't make such a rash move.
Zhang Jilan could also see the concerns of the crowd, so he said, "This tusk is an absolute high-grade treasure. I believe everyone can see this."
Someone added, "Of course everyone can see the quality of this top grade. However, we still need Brother Zhang to explain the origin of this tusk."
This sentence immediately garnered the support of many people. Since Zhang Jilan was a High Scholar, he must have seen a lot of things, so no one could be sure of the origin of the ivory. Therefore, no one dared to make a move rashly. If Zhang Jilan could explain it clearly... Everyone would naturally be able to make a judgment.
After all, there was a huge difference between ivory and ivory.
Could the ivory on Demonic Beast be the same as the ivory on an ordinary elephant?
Zhang Jilan looked at Ye Bufan and found that Ye Bufan was also looking at him with great interest. He knew that it was impossible to not tell Ye Bufan, so he could only tell Ye Bufan what he knew.
"According to my guess, this tusk should be from the body of a Buddha Treasure Elephant. Unfortunately, there is no Buddha light lingering on it. Otherwise, its grade might be higher than a high-grade treasure. It can be said to be a supreme treasure!"
"Wah! The Buddha Treasure Elephant? That's very precious!"
The group members were all surprised. They had never thought that they would encounter the teeth of the Buddha Treasure Elephant in Blood Bone Mountain, because this was a bit unreasonable.
Everyone knew the cause of Blood Bone Mountain, and it was widely known in the martial world. This was the battlefield cemetery during the internal strife of the demon race. How could Buddhist things appear here? Could it be that the Buddhist Sect had intervened in the rebellion?
Someone immediately asked this question.
Zhang Jilan frowned and said, "I don't know what exactly happened. After all, who knows how many tens of thousands of years have passed. Why would anyone know the truth? Perhaps even the so-called rebellion of the demon race was fabricated? But regarding this tusk, I'm sure it's something from the treasured elephant of Buddha Sect. "
Perhaps there were some hidden secrets in the internal strife of the demons tens of thousands of years ago. However, this matter could at most cause people to let their imagination run wild, but it would not affect everyone's judgment.
A tooth that came from the Buddha Treasure Elephant. Regardless of why it appeared in Blood Bone Mountain, it had already been discovered. Therefore, its significance only represented its own value.
The treasured elephant of Buddha Sect was a sacred object. Naturally, the ivory of the treasured elephant was very precious. Even without the Buddha Light, the material of the elephant itself was already very rare.
Although it was the first time the Soul Cultivator had come out of seclusion, their understanding of good things was not shallow at all.
Such an ivory was very useful.
Putting aside the fact that some pill required ivory as the raw material, simply making ivory into a weapon would bring about an effect that ordinary steel weapons would not have.
The teeth of these sacred beasts were often harder and sharper than divine weapons. Their flexibility far surpassed steel, and there were even some that had soul power attached to them. Once they were forged, they would immediately turn into a soul armament.
A soul item that could carry soul power was a soul item. The most commonly used item was a weapon. After the ivory of a Buddhist Treasure Elephant was made by a master, it could definitely be considered a high-grade soul item. Who wouldn't be moved by it?
A restless atmosphere was rapidly brewing, ready to erupt at any moment.
Ye Bufan didn't say anything. He just sat beside Zhang Jilan and watched what Zhang Jilan was doing.
As the person who discovered the ivory, he had already given up on having it. Instead, he chose to let other people participate in the bidding. He had done a good job in this regard. There was no need for him to do anything else. He just needed to watch.
Now, at the final juncture, it would depend on who bid first. As for how much he could sell at the end, in fact, he did not really care. The most important Buddha light had already been absorbed by him. He did not care much about money.
After the incident of getting lucky, when the team returned to the mountain pass, regardless of whether they continued to maintain their existence or disbanded, no matter if it was the team members, they would all stay. Some people would still leave. Zhang Jilan's name would definitely be known by others as soon as this matter spread.
This was the greatest help Ye Bufan could provide, and he was not prepared to do anything more to help Zhang Jilan.
He had made up his mind that he would leave this team after returning to the city. Although he thought Zhang Jilan was a friend, this team was not mature yet. It was not a place he could borrow strength from.
Just as everyone was about to bid and fight to the death, a small sound suddenly came from around the camp.
Ye Bufan and Zhang Jilan immediately noticed it. They immediately guessed that there must be something coming over. It wasn't a Demonic Beast or a devil, it must be some other Soul Cultivator.
Sure enough, before they could react, an arrogant laugh was heard by them.
"Haha, it's the ivory of the Buddha Treasure Elephant! My luck isn't bad, I actually found such a good treasure!"
Before his voice had even faded, three Soul Cultivator jumped up and down, and only stood still ten meters away from the camp, looking at Zhang Jilan and the others.
One look and one could tell that these three people came from aristocratic families. The young man in the lead was dressed like a young master. He wore a brocade robe, a jade crown, a golden belt, and a long sword at the side of his waist. He was playing with a folding fan in his hand. The fan bone was completely made of crystal. It was so luxurious that it blinded one's eyes. The two middle-aged men behind the young man were obviously bodyguards. Their serious expressions were the complete opposite of the young man's.
However, the strength of these two middle-aged men was definitely not bad. Ye Bufan's eyes sparkled. He could immediately tell that these two men were definitely above the Second Level of Transformation.
Although the other cultivators didn't have Ye Bufan's ability, they could directly see the opponent's soul power and spiritual light to judge their cultivation. However, from the Qi of these three men, it could be seen that they were at the Second Level of Transformation. This combination wasn't something that could be easily provoked.
At this moment, many cultivators were unconsciously staring at Zhang Jilan, waiting to see what he would do.
If Zhang Jilan could act neither servile nor overbearing, showing the attitude he should have, then they would have complete trust in him. If he couldn't, they would naturally consider other options.2
The current situation was obviously that this young man was interested in his partner, but they didn't know if he was going to pay for it or was going to rob it by force.
Besides the Mountain Expansion Pass, there were no other laws!
This point was the primary principle that every Soul Cultivator had to know. For the sake of a treasure, they would fight each other. In the end, the winner would take everything away. Such a thing was happening almost all the time outside of the Mountain Expansion Pass. It was the first time these rookies had come out of seclusion. That was why they had such a small hope that the young master was born in a rich family. Maybe he would pay for it.
However, reality immediately gave them a resounding slap in the face.
The young master swept his eyes across the crowd and immediately understood that the leader of this group was Zhang Jilan.
He smiled at Zhang Jilan and pointed at the folding fan in his hand, "Hand over the ivory and I'll let you leave. Otherwise, all of you will stay here."
"You are courting death!"
After all, they were all young men with vigorous blood and vigor. It wasn't like they had never killed or seen a bloody sheep before. Now that they were being bullied, many people started to criticize the young master.
