Chapter 265: A Wooden Ruler Bringing About A Storm
The appraisers of the Inheritance Ancient Pavilion busily tried to identify this body along with the three foot long wooden ruler! In fact, this body did not need to be appraised; the integral focus was all on this wooden ruler!
However, after a long discussion between the appraisers, they couldn’t come up with any specific result; they couldn’t even identify the wood that this ruler was made out of
One had to know that the appraisers of the pavilion could be considered the absolute authority regarding this field The Inheritance Ancient Pavilion was one of the oldest auction houses, and its appraisers were part of a group that had seen the most treasures in this world However, they couldn’t even deteraze was locked on the corpse the azed at the wooden ruler instead After a meticulous observation, a brilliance flashed in the deepest parts of Li Qiye’s eyes, causing hiht shudder, Li Qiye thought about an even older legend that had soe, it is a bit strange ah” At this ti silently next to Li Qiye, couldn’t help but lanced at hie about it?”
“H Toutian wryly s: “I have seen eable about wooden materials used to craft coffins or divine wood used to create treasures However, this wooden ruler It is an oddity; I have never seen this type of wood before”
“There is a etation in this world; it is normal that you haven’t seen all of the Toutian pondered for bit before replying: “What you say is completely true Who can say that they know all the different species of wood in this world?” At this point, he turned around and asked Li Qiye: “Dao Brother, do you have any insight?”
Li Qiye gave him a look and said: “It’s hard to say All in all, this is not an ordinary piece of wood” A different thought had appeared in hisabout? Hurry up if you want to continue the auction Everyone has to leave, you know?” Seeing the appraisers fro time without any result, a dissatisfied buyer demanded
Many other buyers also protested: “That’s right, just decide on a price with some decisiveness Hurry up and don’t waste everyone’s time”
In the end, the Inheritance Ancient Pavilion arrived at a unanimous decision The wooden ruler will be auctioned, but not the corpse because it didn’t have any divinity Normally, once the auction ended, the corpses would be returned to the owner of the tomb or the descendants of the corpse!
“This is a divine ruler; everyone can first take a look at it” The auctioneer raised the wooden ruler with both hands and declared to the crowd
At this time, everyone came closer to take a careful look at this wooden ruler So and others went as far as to lick it, but there was no discernible taste nor s the ruler, they found that there were engravings of little ghosts on it; there were ninety-nine of the had a different expression that was shoith great clarity Those erethese seehosts on top of the ruler
“Brother Zhu Yan, what are these ghosts? Which branch are they fro carefully at this wooden ruler, an Ancient Saint asked a great character who cahost race
This person who came from the Ghost Immortal Race observed the ruler with a serious expression, then he shook his head to say: “I also cannot tell Even though the Ghost Immortal Race is considered to have one hundred different branches, I really haven’t seen these little ghosts before, and I’ve never heard of them either It could just be that the crafter of the ruler es” [1 Note, the word for one hundred here can also mean numerous And I believe a lot/many fits more here rather than one hundred, but further below in this chapter is the reason why I chose one hundred instead of a quantitative descriptor]
The ghost race referred to itself as the Ghost Ireat races in the conte with the human race, the demon race, the Heavenly Devils… However, the Mortal Emperor World was the domain of the human race, so it was relatively rare to see the dehost race, and the Heavenly Devils…
Although they considered thehost race had the exact same appearance as the human race; it was extremely difficult to tell them apart The most direct and effective method to differentiate between thehost race’s blood was a violet color — extreed only to the ghost race [2 It seehost race here is sie), but we already had Heavenly Devil (ui) This is a hosts, unlike the western spiritual ones It was a bit hard to translate gui, lish, especially without physical descriptions during the first tihost, mo = evil/devil, and yao = demon; but both Heavenly Devils and Immortal Ghosts have a physical appearance just like humans in Emperor’s Domination, so the western equivalents can be inaccurate I didn’t want to use fiend as a replacereater connotation of evil whichelse in the future Edit 2: Further below in this chapter is another description of the ghost race, so it actuallynote here, though, because it is another insight toVictory!]
“Just what is this ruler?” All the buyers present looked at it attentively; some even held it in their hands This wooden ruler was much heavier than expected — like a heavy iron with a cold sensation
Everyone was thinking about the origin of this wooden ruler, but they couldn’t figure it out In reality, even the appraisers of the pavilion were unable to do so, thus it was even more difficult for outsiders to correctly identify it
