Before Yan Mo squeezed into the bone-identifying stall, he walked around a few boneware shops in the market, and came out only after he had a good idea.
Just look at the market in Wugan City to see how popular bone tools are in the Western Continent.
The bone implements here are roughly like the tools of his previous life, ranging from daily household items to high-end weapons.
The prevalence of tools will inevitably involve materials, and the foundation of bone tools is also an essential material, naturally, all kinds of bones.
Under the introduction of the stepdaughter and the queen lion, Yan Mo learned that there are no grades of bones, but the prices are completely different. For example, the most common chicken bones, rabbit bones, mouse bones and some bird bones are the least valuable.
In addition to the rare rare bones, the most popular ones are the bones with energy. It is said that the success rate of refining bone treasures with this kind of bones is much higher than that of ordinary bones.
By the way, there are roughly two types of bone wares in the Western Continent. One is ordinary bone wares that don’t use crystals to stimulate energy, while the other bone wares inlaid with crystals that can trigger special abilities are called bone treasures. .
Among the bone treasures, there are those that can be controlled by soul power and those that can not be controlled by soul power. The former is generally more powerful, but it needs not weak soul power. Except for the witches, few people in the Hornless tribe can use it. Soul Power Bone Treasure. Because of such an obvious ability division, the soul power bone treasure is even more precious.
"How do you sell the bones here?"
Yan Mo heard another new guest squeezed in and asked.
"One price, all one hundred bone coins." The stall owner sat cross-legged on the ground and replied with a smile.
The owner of the stall was a man with horns, and Hou Shi secretly told him that this man and his partner were probably wandering warriors, and they also brought two men without horns as slaves.
"It's so expensive, can it be cheaper? Didn't you sell fifty bone coins last time?" Some spectators shouted.
The stall owner said leisurely: "The last time was the last time. I heard that a large part of the bones we collected this time came from the Silver Fox Forest. Everyone should know that some beasts in the Silver Fox Forest are born with magic blood. Their bones Most of them also contain energy. There are also some bones that do not contain energy but are very rare. Whether you can pick them out from these bones depends on your eyesight."
"Silver Fox Forest!" The spectators were in an uproar. It seemed that many people knew what the Silver Fox Forest was referring to.
"So what about the Silver Fox Forest? They really have good goods, and they have already finished trading with the bonesmith. These are just leftovers from the bonesmith and the bonesmith. Who knows if there are any good goods in there." Someone said rudely. Point out the facts.
The stall owner was calm and calm, "So it depends on everyone's vision and luck. It's not like no one picked out bones with energy and scarcity in my stall before, and not all of our bones will let bone tools first." Shops and bone craftsmen choose it again, besides, the energy contained in some bones is very hidden, or it is very rare, even bone shop and bone craftsman will sometimes miss it.”
Yan Mo understood that daring to distinguish bones is to identify two kinds of valuable bones, one contains energy and the other is relatively rare.
Yan Mo was surprised by another thing, he asked his stepdaughter in a low voice: "Can you see the energy contained in the bones?"
The stepdaughter smiled wryly and shook her head, "It would be great if we could, then our village wouldn't be so poor."
Houshi muttered, "If someone in our village can identify the energy in the bones, any bone shop will be willing to ask for him. I heard that the village witch in Yuanfen Village can see that, and their village is very rich! "
The stepdaughter added: "However, there are really very few such people. I heard that there are not many of them even the horned people. Moreover, some bones contain obvious energy, and some don't show it at all. Even bone craftsmen may not be able to see it. "
Yan Mo rubbed his nose and looked at Yuan Zhan silently.
Yuan Zhan returned a question mark with his eyes.
Yan Mo didn't have the nerve to say in front of so many people: To identify whether there is energy in the bone is the examination requirement for bone bearing from level 7 to level 8, and what is more stringent is to find out how much energy is contained and what attribute it is. Because the more energy the bone is not the better, the refining of bone tools also pays attention to the harmony of attributes and energy stability. In other words, whether the bones placed on the stall have energy, what kind of energy, and how much energy is in his eyes is as clear as a searchlight.
But what is interesting is that all kinds of bones in the Eastern Continent basically contain energy, and there are very few that do not contain energy. The bones that do not contain energy have either decayed or lost energy, otherwise there will be more or less.
But looking at the bones displayed in this booth, not all of them contain energy, and even only a very small number of bones contain energy.
Yan Mo wondered whether this had something to do with the fact that the vitality components of the Western Continent were not easily absorbed by creatures, squatting down and stretching out his hand.
Hands are blocked.
The stall owner, "The old rule is, if you want to touch the bones and take a closer look, you have to pay one hundred bone coins first."
The rule here is to pay first and then see the goods? Yan Mo was a little uncomfortable.
At this time, the stepdaughter already knew that the envoy did not have any bone coins on him—his understanding was that the envoy had brought precious crystals with him, but it was a pity that the crystals could only be used in the God Realm, and the horned people here couldn't see it.
For this reason, seeing that the envoy was stopped, the stepdaughter immediately took out one hundred bone coins, which was more than half of all the property in the village, and gave it to the stall owner without hesitation.
The stall owner stopped Yan Mo after collecting the bone coins, and Yan Mo asked with a silly face: "Can I return it if I don't want it?"
The stall owner pursed his lips, as if he didn't like the poor appearance of this hornless man. Another fellow stall owner sneered and said, "This is your first time distinguishing bones, right? Identifying bones is like gambling. You pay the bone coins and you don't lose money." The principle of return. If everyone is like you, who wants to touch all the bones after paying the money, and refund the money if they don’t buy it after touching it, we can’t wait for it!”
The stepdaughter also leaned over and whispered to him, this is the rule.
Yan Mo was very embarrassed, thinking that such an important matter should be clearly explained to him from the very beginning, if he can't distinguish the bones and just look casually, wouldn't the hundred bone coins be wasted
Thinking of the stepdaughter's trust in giving away more than half of the village's property without hesitation, Yan Mo's attitude became more serious. Their bone coins are only enough for him to choose one. He originally wanted to choose a random one with energy and exchange the bone coins for other livelihoods. Now he has changed his mind. All the bones with energy are picked out and bought.
At this time, there were two other people who paid bone coins to choose bones, but they were all horned. So far, Yan Mo seems to be the only one who has actually paid for bone selection.
There were some whispering voices around, and it didn't sound like whispering, because the voice was quite loud, so I was afraid that Yan Mo wouldn't be able to hear it.
"Is this hornless man crazy and want to gamble, or is he really able to distinguish bones?"
"Maybe someone has learned how to make bone tools?"
A burst of laughter came, "How old is he? Is he sixteen or seventeen? Even if he has learned to identify bones, can he be the same as a horned man with soul power? And how much can he learn at his age? Did you admit it all?"
"He has a bone vessel on him, maybe a disciple of those hornless witches?"
"No feathers on the head, who knows."
"Did you see that the hornless man next to him still has tattoos on his face, and I don't know which savage came from the deep mountains and old forests."
Yan Mo wanted to laugh when he heard this, and looked up at Yuan Zhan.
Yuan Zhan had no expression on his face, he couldn't understand anyway.
Someone snorted coldly: "With soul power, you may not be able to identify the energy in bones. Do you really think that anyone can identify bones and make bone tools? Even if we have horned people, how many of us can become bone craftsmen?"
"Okay, don't talk about it, maybe the hornless man just wants to gamble."
"That's right, but it's only a hundred bone coins."
There was laughter again from the crowd, because those who know the living conditions of Wujiao people know that most Wujiao people are very poor, especially Wujiao people living in villages outside the city. If they live in remote places such as deep mountains and old forests, even It is possible that the bone coin has never been seen.
Although Yuan Zhan couldn't understand what the people around him were saying, but hearing their laughter, tone of voice, and looking at their expressions, he also knew that these people were laughing at his priest.
Are you laughing? Believe it or not, I beat you with blood all over your face!
Yuan Zhan has unlimited confidence in his own priest, he doesn't know how good the horned man's bone refining skills are, and Yan Mo usually doesn't work very hard at refining bone tools, but he doesn't think his priest will be unable to handle such a trivial matter .
"If you want bone coins, I can get them for you, as many as you want." Yuan Zhanxin wondered why he wasted so much time.
Yan Mo seemed to be serious, but in fact he casually grabbed a half-foot-long bone, stood up and said, "Be careful, there is no big mistake. Also, please remember, next time who you are going to rob, don't tell me."
Yuan Zhan: ... Fuck! He also forgot that the ancestor god would punish Mo for his actions. But what Ting Mo meant, as long as he didn't tell him in advance, the ancestor god wouldn't blame him for what he did? It seemed that Mo had told him so before.
The stall owner didn't understand what Yan Mo was saying to Yuan Zhan, but the hornless man spoke many dialects, so it's not surprising that he couldn't understand. He saw that Yan Mo had already chosen, so he specifically confirmed it with him: "You want this one ?”
"right."
"Why did you choose it?" Probably few hornless people came to identify the bones, so the stall owner asked one more question.
Yan Mo said truthfully: "I think it has energy."
The stall owner laughed, "Haha! Do you think it has energy? Well, may God Pan'a bless you. What are you going to do with it, whether to sell it to a bonesmith shop, sell it to a bonesmith, or keep it for yourself ?”
"Let's have a look." Yan Mo took the bone and wanted to leave.
"Don't go!" Someone stopped Yan Mo, "The stall owner has the energy to test the bone treasure, let him test it for you."
"That's right, since you are so sure that the bone has energy, then you are not afraid that it will disappear after the test."
Yan Mo looked at his stepdaughter in confusion, and the stepdaughter hurriedly explained to him: "If you want to know whether a bone contains energy, one is to look at the eyesight of a bone discerner, and the other is to determine whether a bone contains energy. .”
"Is there such a bone vessel? Since there is such a bone vessel..."
Stall owner interface: "It seems that you really don't know anything. I will teach you today. Bone treasures that test energy like this have a common shortcoming, because it judges the test object by stimulating the energy of the test object. Whether it has energy, and how much energy it contains. If the test object itself does not have energy, it will not be able to withstand the excited energy, and it will be destroyed as a result."
After listening to Yan Mo, his understanding was: a test object without energy is like a fuse without a fuse, and it will be burned once it is powered on.
Perhaps this metaphor is not appropriate or correct, but it is more intuitive and clear.
Stall owner: "Do you want to test it? Others need to pay ten bone coins to test it. You don't need it since it's your first time playing. But it's also possible that your bone is one of the rare materials. If you don't Energy, it may be destroyed after the measurement. You should think about it carefully."
"Don't think about it." Someone shouted from the crowd watching the excitement, "He took it to a bone shop or a bone maker. If they were not sure that it was a rare material, they would also use the bone treasure to test whether the bone contained energy. He also You have to pay another ten bone coins, so it’s better to test it at your place.”
One of the two horned men who were picking out the bones raised his head, not arrogantly said: "The man without horns, show me your bones."
Yan Mo looked at the skinny horned man.
This horned man is not a celebrity, and no one in the room seemed to recognize him. The horned man said by himself: "I am a fourth-level bone tooler, and I know almost all bones. Let me see if it is rare or not." Materials, if not, you don’t have to make another trip.”
The horned man stood up, and deliberately lit up the bonesmith's logo hanging on his waist, a domino marked with the grade of the bonesmith. Apart from the surrounding patterns, the most conspicuous thing on the two-inch square domino is to depict the In the middle of the domino is the number of the Bone Refining Race, a bright "four".
There is also the personal information of the bonesmith on the back of the domino, but there is no need to show it to everyone.
When others saw that this horned man was actually a fourth-level bone tooler, they were in awe. Everyone knows how difficult it is to become a bone craftsman. Not only does one have to learn a lot of knowledge, but one must have a strong soul to continue in the later stages.
Generally, the third to fourth level of the bone craftsman is a watershed. Even people without horns below the third level can refine, but at the fourth level and above, only the horned people can be refined.
No one suspects that this horned man is a fake bonesmith, because a bonesmith's domino can only correspond to one person, and to verify the authenticity, all you need to do is drip the bonesmith's blood on his domino.
The onlookers booed, and they all yelled for Yan Mo to quickly show that bone to the bonesmith.
Yan Mo thought to himself that he had to test it anyway, and it would cost money to ask a boneware shop to identify it. If someone is willing to take the initiative to inspect it for free, why not do it? Then, according to everyone's wishes, he handed over the bone to the bone tooler.
The bone tooler took the bone, flipped it over for a while, put it under his nose, smelled it, and licked it, then said with certainty: "This is a wolf rib. Look at the length, size and bone pattern. This is a bone." A wolf cub, maybe not two or three months old. I can't tell if it has energy, but wolf bones are really not a rare material."
This judgment is not unexpected.
The bonesmith returned the bone to Yan Mo, "Although it is not a rare material, wolf ribs have many uses. A single piece like this can be sold for three to five bone coins at a bonework shop."
The bone craftsman's implication was very clear, he wanted Yan Mo to stop testing, if he could save a little, he would do it a little.
The stall owner also looked at Yan Mo: "Do you want to test the energy?"
"Test, why not test?" Yan Mo changed hands and handed the wolf ribs to the stall owner.
The stall owner asked his partner to hand him the bone treasure for testing. It was a bit like a golden rod. The stall owner held it and tapped one end on the wolf's rib. The tip of the stick is bright.
"It's bright! Check to see if it has changed color."
When it is on, it means that the test bone treasure is starting, and the bright light at the front can change color, indicating that the test object contains energy. The brighter and thicker the light, the more energy the test object contains.
Someone looked at the front of the bone stick and shook his head, "I'm sure, I could have saved a few bone coins, but now... tsk, these hornless people are really poor and crazy."
"Yeah, if it's really that easy to distinguish bones..."
"It's changed color!" An exclamation came out.
"Huh?!" Many people have not yet reacted.
"It actually has energy!" An unbelievable murmur sounded.
Even the stall owner stared at the front end of the bone stick in surprise and lost his voice.
After the lion rubbed his eyes and saw that the front end of the bone stick had really changed color, he roared and jumped up in excitement!
The stepdaughter also clenched her fists, trembling slightly with excitement. Of course it is impossible for the envoy to read it wrong, but he is still very happy!
The spectators gradually came to their senses, and someone asked: "The color is black, what kind of energy is this?"
"Black?" The bone craftsman who inspected the wolf bone just now opened his eyes wide and whispered in surprise: "Could it be a corrupted wolf bone?"
Everyone exclaimed: "Corrosion Demon Wolf?! Is this a rare material?"
"If it's really a corrupting demonic wolf."
"That's still fake, it's all been tested, even if it's not corrosive energy, this wolf bone is not an ordinary wolf bone!"
"God Pan'a, this little hornless man is really lucky!"
The result was out, Yan Mo bent down and picked up the wolf rib, nodded to the stall owner, and turned around.
"Wait!" The fourth-level bone craftsman stepped in front of Yan Mo, "Three thousand bone coins, will you sell them?"
Yan Mo didn't know the price of various bones in the Western Continent at all, and he didn't know whether the price was high or low. Looking at Hou Shi and Hou Daughter, these two had common sense, but they rarely had contact with bone tools, so naturally It's also unclear if the price is right.
The bone craftsman knew Yan Mo's expression was a baby, and he didn't want to let it go, "Three thousand and one hundred bone coins, even if you go to the bone crafts shop, you won't have a higher price."
Bones that contain energy and are special energy can at least be made into bone tools of level 4 or above. If the energy is rich, even level 5 or above is not a dream. Even as supplementary material is good!
Ordinary bone tools below level 3 can be afforded even by hornless people, but bone treasures above level 4, especially those that can stimulate energy, are not affordable for ordinary people.
There were also some people around who were tempted. The stall owner was not happy to see the bone tooler ahead of him. He winked at his companion, and his companion immediately squeezed out of the crowd. They set up a bone shop here, naturally there is a long-term cooperative bone shop, and they still have a share in that bone shop, so of course they want to embrace their own benefits.
Yan Mo was hesitating—in fact, he was waiting to see if there was any other offer. Someone from a bone shop with a relationship with the stall owner rushed over, and as soon as he squeezed into the crowd, he shouted: "Don't be in a hurry to make a deal, if it's really Corrupting Demon Wolf Bone, our store is willing to pay 3,500 bone coins!"
