Chapter 21

When Uncle Jiu heard that Lu Xuan had come to sell an enchanted scroll, he immediately became serious. For any family, an enchanter is an extremely valuable resource. Moreover, what Lu Xuan had inscribed was a Frenzy Scroll, which even Xia Chenxi had not yet succeeded in creating!

"Have you brought the enchanted scroll? I need to appraise it," Uncle Jiu said.

Lu Xuan also knew the rules; unless one was a renowned enchanter, ordinary enchanters needed to have their scrolls appraised before selling them here.

So he nodded, took out a complete Frenzy Scroll from his pocket, and handed it to Uncle Jiu.

Because the energy of the potion was entirely bound by the runes, there was no way to tell from the outside. To appraise an enchanted scroll, one could only do so by examining the runes.

Taking the Frenzy Scroll, Uncle Jiu carefully and slowly unfolded it. Long Zhi, standing nearby, couldn't help but move closer to see what was happening. Although Long Yang had confidently assured him that Lu Xuan couldn't be an enchanter, he was still a bit uneasy.

Finally, the Frenzy Scroll was fully unfolded and neatly laid out on the table. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the scroll. Lu Xuan appeared very calm, as he was confident, but Yao Lei, standing beside him, was sweating. Although Lu Xuan had told him it was successful, he couldn't recognize it himself and was now anxiously waiting for Uncle Jiu's appraisal. If it really was successful, Lu Xuan would have an instant rise to fame!

Uncle Jiu's gaze slowly moved over the Frenzy Scroll, his brows tightly furrowed. He had been in the Treasure Pavilion for many years and had seen countless enchanted scrolls, but this time, he was uncertain.

Whether from the construction and fluidity of each small rune or from the entire complete rune, this was undoubtedly a successful enchanted scroll.

However, although the runes looked clearly like those of a Frenzy Scroll at first glance, upon closer inspection, he found that he didn't recognize them at all!

Although the runes of enchanted scrolls are inscribed using specific techniques and cannot be imitated from the outside, the Frenzy Scroll is one of the more difficult and practical low-level enchanted scrolls. Uncle Jiu was not unfamiliar with it, so the fact that he couldn't recognize these runes was problematic.

More importantly, this Frenzy Scroll was inscribed entirely with pure beast blood, which was completely illogical. This was why he was uncertain.

"Hahaha, this is called an enchanted scroll? Do you think that by randomly smearing something, it becomes an enchanted scroll?" Before Uncle Jiu could speak, Long Zhi burst out laughing, his tone full of ridicule.

"I heard that yesterday you bought a bottle of Frenzy Wolf Blood here? You didn't go back and just smear that blood on a blank scroll, did you? That's hilarious. If becoming an enchanter were that easy, everyone would be one. I think you're just crazy for money!"

Long Zhi now thoroughly believed what Long Yang had said; Lu Xuan was indeed not an enchanter.

After all, Long Zhi himself was an enchanter and was currently a member of the Enchanter's Guild in Lincheng. This was his capital, and the status of an enchanter was far above that of an ordinary martial artist.

He knew about the Frenzy Scroll, but with his current level, he couldn't inscribe it. When Lu Xuan said he had inscribed a Frenzy Scroll, Long Zhi had already been skeptical. Now, seeing the entire enchanted scroll, he had no more doubts.

An enchanted scroll entirely inscribed with beast blood was something he had never seen or even heard of. Every enchanter knew that inscribing an enchanted scroll required a specially prepared potion.

Lu Xuan ignored Long Zhi's words and just looked at Uncle Jiu.

After a long while, Uncle Jiu's gaze moved from the scroll to Lu Xuan, and he slowly said, "This scroll is somewhat peculiar, different from the Frenzy Scrolls I've seen. I dare not make a definitive judgment."

Hearing this, Lu Xuan immediately frowned. Although he knew his enchanted scroll was different from ordinary ones, he hadn't expected it to be unable to gain recognition.

After some thought, Lu Xuan said again, "I can provide a scroll for testing. If it can produce the necessary effect, I think it should prove that my scroll is usable, right?"

Although an enchanted scroll was worth over a thousand gold pieces, to prove that his enchanted scroll was indeed usable, Lu Xuan didn't hesitate. After all, he had made three scrolls, and using one would still leave him with two.

Hearing Lu Xuan's words, Long Zhi laughed again, "Testing? You're joking. Ordinary weapons cannot be enchanted, and even a low-grade iron weapon is worth thousands of gold pieces. Each weapon can only be enchanted once. If yours doesn't work, wouldn't that be a waste? If you want to test your enchanted scroll, you need to provide the weapon yourself. Do you have thousands of gold pieces?"

Uncle Jiu also nodded, saying, "Indeed, to test an enchanted scroll, you need to provide the weapon yourself."

This time, Lu Xuan could only smile bitterly. He hadn't expected selling an enchanted scroll to be so troublesome. Now, he didn't even have an ordinary weapon, let alone an iron weapon.

"Brother Xuan, why don't we just give up? You've already broken through, and joining the Wind Sword Sect is a sure thing. When you have money in the future, you can test it then," Yao Lei said, trying to persuade him. Although he didn't really believe that Lu Xuan could successfully inscribe an enchanted scroll, seeing Lu Xuan like this made him uncomfortable.

"What kind of person does what kind of thing? Dreaming of becoming an enchanter? Is an enchanter someone like you can aspire to be?" Long Zhi said arrogantly. His sense of superiority returned, and seeing Lu Xuan like this made him feel better than beating him up.

However, Long Zhi's arrogance made Uncle Jiu uncomfortable. He liked Lu Xuan's calm and composed demeanor. He said again, "Lu Xuan, wait a moment. I'll send a message to Miss Chenxi. She told me that if you come to sell an enchanted scroll, I should notify her. Miss Chenxi is an enchanter. If I can't tell, perhaps she can."

Hearing this, a look of joy flashed across Lu Xuan's face. "Then I'll trouble you, Senior."

He firmly believed that his enchanted scroll was fine. Gold will always shine.

Uncle Jiu nodded, took out a communication rune, and whispered a few words. The communication rune immediately turned into a stream of light and disappeared.

Long Zhi was now somewhat uncertain. Miss Chenxi? Could it be Xia Chenxi? Could this country bumpkin, Lu Xuan, actually know her?

The scene fell silent as everyone waited for Xia Chenxi to arrive. Long Zhi didn't leave; he wanted to see Lu Xuan humiliated!
