Chapter 305 Picking Up a Rhinoceros Horn

Cao Erdan smiled:

"I'm self-taught. If I had gone to school, I probably wouldn't have learned as much!"

Lanlan and I chatted as we walked.

We arrived at a stall selling jade and miscellaneous items.

The two stopped in front of the stall and picked up some jade items to examine.

Among them were some items such as musk turtle shells.

However, the prices are not low.

The stall owner was a big, burly man.

It looks quite rugged.

He was wearing a dirty Tibetan robe.

However, he was wearing a large gold watch on his wrist.

His outfit made him look somewhat out of place.

Cao Erdan glanced at it casually.

But then they noticed a dark object in his pocket on the ground behind him.

A sudden inspiration struck me.

He hurriedly asked:

"Hey buddy, can I take a look at that?"

He pointed behind him.

The stall owner reached out, took it out, and threw it on the stall.

"This is a cow horn."

It originally had patterns carved on it.

My wife just accidentally threw it into the stove along with the firewood.

I managed to snatch it out in time, otherwise it would have completely burned.

However, the shape was ruined.

"If you want it, I'll give it to you cheap!"

Cao Erdan picked it up and examined it carefully.

This thing was burned and its shape changed.

It's so ugly that if you throw it in a garbage dump, no one will probably pick it up.

Cao Erdan took a sniff.

It has a slightly sweet taste.

I licked it, and it tasted a bit salty.

The people next to them just grinned:

"Dude, this thing looks filthy, and you're going to lick it with your mouth?"

Lan Lan also came over to take a look.

She also knew that this thing was not an ordinary object.

But judging from what the stall owner said, he probably didn't know the true value of this item.

It's hard to tell if it's a treasure just by looking at it with the naked eye.

Further experiments are needed to verify this.

Using a knife to scrape off dead skin cells to verify authenticity is too obvious.

That might alert the stall owner and cause them to raise prices.

Then you won't be able to find any bargains.

Cao Erdan deliberately said to Lan Lan:

"Lanlan, what do you think about me using this to practice making a bone carving?"

The stall owner heard that Cao Erdan was interested in this piece of junk.

He immediately said:

"This material can be used to carve anything."

If you can carve any oracle bone script on it, you can sell it for a high price immediately.

"Name your price, and I'll give it to you if it's close to that."

Lan Lan shook her head and said:

"You can't let the buyer set a price when you're selling something. Why don't you name a price and let me hear it?"

Cao Erdan asked, half-jokingly:

"If you want me to make an offer, can you do it for ten dollars?"

The stall owner smiled:

"That's far too little. I want five hundred more, can you give me that?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Erdan immediately felt reassured.

The stall owner really didn't know its value!

Lanlan Ledao:

"Are you kidding me? It's not even worth fifty yuan!"

Lan Lan pretended to pull Cao Erdan away.

Cao Erdan was surprised that she was quite good at bargaining.

He threw the cow horn on the stall and was about to leave.

The stall owner quickly greeted them:

"I was just saying it offhand. If you think it's too expensive, just name a price!"

Cao Erdan came back and said:

"Then it'll be two hundred yuan, I don't need any more!"

The stall owner looked at the broken cow horn.

He nodded and said:

"Take it, take it, two hundred it is!"

Cao Erdan handed the stall owner two hundred yuan.

"We've made a deal, right?"

"Yes, deal!"

Cao Erdan asked:

"Can I use your knife?"

The stall owner was wearing a Tibetan robe and carrying a Tibetan scimitar.

He then pulled it out and handed it to Cao Erdan.

Cao Erdan said:

"You've already sold this to me, so it's none of your business if I damage it."

The stall owner nodded:

"It's none of my business if you throw it away."

Cao Erdan took a knife and scraped off some keratin from the cow's horn.

After removing the charred parts, you can then look at it again.

His face immediately showed joy.

He said to Lanlan:

"It seems I wasn't mistaken after all; this is indeed a piece of Sumatran rhinoceros horn!"

Lan Lan gave a thumbs up:

"Xiao Cao, you really have a good eye!"

The stall owner was a little confused.

Ask Cao Erdan:

"What do you mean?"

Cao Erdan then pulled out another five hundred yuan:

"This is a good product, I'll give you another five hundred as a bonus!"

Lan Lan said to the stall owner with a smile:

"In your heart, this thing isn't even worth five hundred. Now that you've got seven hundred, that's fine too!"

Then Lanlan pointed to the jade items with prices marked on his stall and said:

“These are all fakes, yet you’ve priced them so high.”

This rhinoceros horn is a truly valuable item, but you don't realize its worth.

"Study hard before going into this line of work."

The stall owner was dumbfounded.

Looking at the cow horns, he asked:

"What... exactly is so good about it?"

The stall owner had no idea where he had been taken advantage of.

I need to ask for advice immediately.

Lan Lan took the ox horn and showed it to him.

"This is a Sumatran Asian rhinoceros horn, which is extremely rare."

Someone could turn it into a dagger and sell it for hundreds of thousands of yuan.

However, this is not its true value; it can be sold by the gram as a medicinal herb.

Now it costs at least three thousand yuan per gram, and it's still hard to buy.

At this moment, the stall owner stared at the bull horn that no longer belonged to him.

He kept swallowing his saliva.

They just didn't dare to reach out and snatch it.

If one gram costs 3,000, then this ox horn must weigh over two pounds.

One kilogram can be worth millions!

Cao Erdan held the cow horn up to the sunlight.

Inside, there were traces of reddish-brown color.

The grain inside the rhinoceros horn is straight and thick, and the cross-section has small sand holes that resemble a honeycomb.

The bottom protrudes with a ridge, which is called the "ground ridge".

There should be a special deep groove at the corner.

This ditch is also called a "sky ditch" in technical terms.

This is the finest rhinoceros horn.

This is the most precious Chinese medicinal herb.

Cao Erdan wasn't afraid that the stall owner would regret it.

Let me give him a quick explanation:

"This rhinoceros horn is a well-known cold-natured medicine."

It has the effects of calming the mind and soothing the nerves, cooling the blood and stopping bleeding, and purging fire and detoxifying.

Most importantly, it can be used to refine elixirs, and it is also a kind of rare and precious material..."

By this time, the stall owner could no longer hear clearly.

All he could hear was the phrase "more than three thousand per gram".

He kept 700 yuan for himself and then gave away a treasure worth several hundred yuan!

They usually just cheat and deceive people.

I never expected to suffer such a huge loss today.

They watched as Lan Lan and Cao Erdan took the rhinoceros horn away.

The stall owner kept slapping himself in the face!

He cursed himself, calling himself an idiot!

Lan Lan pulled Cao Erdan along and laughed:

"Little Cao, you've really struck gold!"

Are you interested in selling this treasure?

Can I help you contact a buyer?

Cao Erdan shook his head and said:

"I want to buy something this good, but I can't."

He kept it for alchemy.

If I had more than eighteen kinds of rare and precious materials, I could refine the ultimate Great Rejuvenation Pill.

While it cannot be said to grant immortality like the legendary elixir of life.

It can also prolong life and enhance one's abilities!

Let alone its use in conjunction with rare and precious medicinal herbs for alchemy.

This rhinoceros horn alone is a "miracle cure".

Its medicinal properties can cure all blood poisoning diseases.

Skin diseases caused by blood toxins, such as psoriasis.

If there are fewer antiviral cells in the blood, cancer can develop.

Therefore, it is absolutely true that rhinoceros horn can cure and prevent cancer.

Many people spend tens of thousands of yuan on psoriasis medication for their skin conditions.

So if the owner of a pharmaceutical company takes this back and processes it into medicine...

They can all be sold at high prices.

That's not just a few million.
