Chapter 65

In the morning, Su Wen rubbed his eyes: "I slept really well, but didn't I forget something? What was it? Oh right, my reward, my初级记忆术 (初级 memory technique)."

Thinking about this, Su Wen frowned. He had obtained the初级 memory technique, but why did his head feel worse instead? Damn it, this kind of invisible ability, how can you tell if it has improved? The system wouldn't be fooling him, right!

"Xiao Tian, come out quickly."

"Master, in this beautiful morning, diligent Xiao Tian is here to serve you."

Su Wen pursed his lips; he wasn't impressed by Xiao Tian's words: "I've found a problem. This初级 memory technique sounds great, but how do I test it? Memory is intangible, who knows if my memory has really improved."

Xiao Tian said with some disdain: "Master, would the system really fool you? Besides, the初级 memory technique can be verified. The system's reward is an instant memory ability. Anything you see will stay in your mind for a day, and only after a day will it gradually fade. If you don't believe it, you can test it now. You'll know the truth soon enough."

"A day, and I won't forget anything I see?"

Su Wen was somewhat stunned. This was almost cheating!

If those academic failures knew about this ability, they would probably envy it to the point of bleeding. With this ability, a last-minute cram before exams would make everything from failing a course, the middle school entrance exam, and the college entrance exam child's play. However, the time is only one day, but one day is more than enough.

"After a day, these instant memories will gradually fade like normal memories. But if you reinforce them, over time, they will become permanent memories," Xiao Tian told Su Wen.

"Got it." Su Wen snapped his fingers.

Su Wen found a book and didn't care about its content. He read it quickly, like flipping pages. When he closed the book, he found that everything he had just read was indeed in his mind.

"Awesome!"

This ability was truly heaven-defying.

Inside the Treasure Hall.

Su Wen was waiting for Yang Feixue to send someone to appraise the items.

At 10 a.m.

Yang Feixue arrived, followed by two men, one of whom was Liang Feng.

Liang Feng was also a member of the appraisal team at Shengshi Auction House.

"The boss is waiting for you upstairs." Chen Yunhao looked at Yang Feixue, secretly amazed. Such a beautiful woman was rare. Even in a place like Jiangning University, where beautiful women were plentiful, few could match Yang Feixue's beauty.

Su Wen was playing with a recently recovered Warring States knife coin when he heard a voice from the stairs and turned to look.

"Su Wen, it's been a while." Yang Feixue smiled.

"Why did you come personally?" Su Wen frowned. "It's been a while? We just met yesterday!" He didn't want to get too involved with Yang Feixue. This woman had a deep background and always used him as a shield, making her a real beauty with a dangerous nature.

"Why can't I come?" Yang Feixue was puzzled. "I'm now in charge of Shengshi Auction House in Jiangning. All consigned items need my approval. Although I promised to consign one item for you for free, if your item is too trashy, I can't ruin Shengshi Auction House's reputation."

Su Wen stood up, his tone cold: "My items are always treasures, now and in the future."

Yang Feix didn't quite believe it. She looked at Su Wen's expression and pretended to think deeply.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing, are you afraid of me?"

Su Wen was taken aback: "Afraid of you? What a joke, I'm a man, and you're a beauty. If I had evil intentions, you should be the one afraid."

Yang Feix was secretly pleased when Su Wen called her a beauty: "You know your place. If you behave well, I might give you a chance."

"What chance?"

"A chance to pursue me!"

Su Wen was startled and took a few steps back: "No thanks, I don't dare to aspire, I don't dare to aspire!"

Yang Feix was a bit angry at Su Wen's reaction: "What, do you think I'm not your type? I have many good qualities."

Su Wen quickly replied: "I don't care about your qualities. I know one thing clearly."

"What?"

"Beautiful women with dangerous natures should be avoided. If you don't seek death, you won't die." Su Wen said solemnly, not noticing that Yang Feixue's face had turned green.

"Hmph! Stop talking nonsense. Let's get to business. Where's the item?" Yang Feixue became serious, her face cold, no trace of her previous smile.

Su Wen was secretly amazed. This woman could be innocent and playful when smiling, and cold and stern when serious, two completely different extremes. But why did it feel so conquerable? It seemed... if he could make Yang Feixue fall for him, it would be quite interesting.

Su Wen took out the Water Spirit Grass.

Liang Feng had already seen the photo of the Water Spirit Grass from Cheng Dafeng, so he wasn't very surprised. He carefully examined it for a while and then took out a thick book about one centimeter thick.

Seeing the book, Su Wen was surprised.

The cover read "Shengshi Auction House Internal Literature," looking very exquisite. But the key wasn't that. Su Wen clearly saw the words: "Comprehensive List of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures," followed by smaller words: "Plant Edition."

After Liang Feng finished, he nodded: "It is indeed Water Spirit Grass, a good treasure. The auction price should be between 30 million and 60 million. Martial artists will love it."

Yang Feixue looked at the other man, who was younger than Liang Feng and had been standing behind her like a servant since he entered.

"Baolong, take a look too."

"Yes, Miss."

Su Wen basically guessed that Baolong was from the Yang family.

But Su Wen didn't care about that. He was more curious about the book in Liang Feng's hands. He moved closer to Liang Feng and whispered: "Old sir, may I ask your name? How old are you? Can I see the book in your hands?"

Liang Feng noticed Su Wen's unfriendly gaze and thought for a moment: "You can call me Old Liang. Cheng Dafeng and I are old friends. He showed me the photo of the Water Spirit Grass a long time ago. Now that you're auctioning it, you're completely taking advantage of Old Cheng. I won't say more. Why don't young people learn to be good these days?"

Su Wen pursed his lips: "I have my own ideas. I can't just sell it to Cheng Dafeng because he wants it. Forget it, let's not talk about this. Old Liang, can I see the book in your hands?"

"This..." Liang Feng hesitated. "Su Wen, this is internal material. Shengshi Auction House spent a lot of effort to compile it. It's not for outsiders to see."

"I just want to take a look, just a look." Su Wen became more curious.

"Then you should ask Miss Yang." Liang Feng naturally didn't dare to make the decision. He knew that even if he let Su Wen see it, Su Wen wouldn't remember much. But with Yang Feixue there, he didn't dare to lend Shengshi Auction House's materials to anyone without permission.

"Yang Feixue, can you do me a favor?" Su Wen showed a flattering smile.

"Now you're asking for my help. Say something nice to me, and maybe I'll be happy and agree." Yang Feixue's face showed a smile again.

"Feixue, you are truly beautiful, like a fairy descended from heaven, with ice-like skin and snow-like intestines, a national beauty, a beauty that makes fish dive and geese hide, a beauty that makes flowers blush and the moon hide, a virtuous and gentle lady, a beauty with a face like a flower and a moon, a beauty with eyes like autumn water, a beauty whose smile can charm a city, a beauty with a clear and pure heart, a charming lady, a beauty with a rosy face and a jade-like body, a graceful lady, a beauty who can charm a city with a single glance, a beauty with the wisdom of a nation, a beauty like a lotus, a beauty in a golden house, a beauty that makes fish dive and geese hide, a beauty that shows off her charm, a beauty with the fragrance of spring and the warmth of flowers, a beauty that can't be contained in a garden..."

"Stop!" Yang Feixue quickly interrupted Su Wen. "Where did you learn so many words? It's disgusting. Old Liang, let him see it. He won't remember much in a short time."

"Here." Old Liang handed it over.

Su Wen noticed that Liang Feng and Yang Feixue weren't worried at all and secretly smiled. He had the初级 memory technique, so he could quickly flip through it and organize it later. This information wouldn't just belong to Shengshi Auction House anymore.

Su Wen didn't waste time and started flipping through the book like turning pages.

His speed increased, and he flipped to the next page in less than three seconds. Yang Feixue was puzzled. How could he remember anything with such speed? Even Liang Feng thought Su Wen was just skimming.

Baolong had already finished his appraisal and confirmed that the Water Spirit Grass was genuine.

But Su Wen was still flipping through the book. The three of them waited for Su Wen to finish. After twenty minutes, Su Wen sighed: "It records 1,523 types of plant-based heavenly materials and earthly treasures. It's hard to imagine. I wonder if there are any that aren't included?"

Liang Feng casually replied: "Of course there are. For example, the section on Lingzhi mushrooms only goes up to six-leaf Lingzhi, but the legendary nine-leaf Lingzhi isn't included."

Su Wen nodded: "Purple Lingzhi, green Lingzhi, white Lingzhi... red Lingzhi, wrinkled black Lingzhi, three-leaf Lingzhi, six-leaf Lingzhi... each more precious than the last. By the way, are there any green Lingzhi over a thousand years old for auction? It says that green Lingzhi can preserve youth. I wonder if it's true. And the three-leaf Lingzhi can increase cultivation. What's going on? It also mentions something about true qi..."

"Wait!" Yang Feixue couldn't listen anymore. She looked at Su Wen. "You just flipped through it once. You didn't remember everything, did you?"

Su Wen was taken aback and awkwardly said: "No, I didn't remember anything. Just guessing, all guessing."

Guessing?

You're lying through your teeth!

How could you guess how many types of heavenly materials and earthly treasures are recorded? How could you guess so many names of Lingzhi? How could you guess the effects of each type of heavenly material and earthly treasure?

Yang Feixue thought: "It's over, this bastard really remembered everything."

Old Liang and Baolong also showed shocked expressions.

This was almost photographic memory, like cheating!
