Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm-Chapter 584 - 371, The Beginning of the Legend_2

Even if the museum offered 10 billion Xia Yuan for it, people all over Canglan Star would be scrambling to buy it.

He was very curious, that Xijing people would actually be willing to give the treasure to the capital.

This doesn’t make sense.

The female guide explained with a smile: "Our cultivation center sought arbitration from Great Xia’s highest court, and it ruled that although the Xijing City Natural History Museum owns the fossil, Mr. Spirit Crows has bestowed a soul upon it.

"In terms of value, the soul of the fossil is vastly more valuable than the fossil itself, and the highest court believes that the Xijing City Natural History Museum cannot forcibly occupy the value created by Mr. Spirit Crows based on the ownership of the fossil itself, as that would constitute robbery.

"The highest court made a final decision: Xijing City Natural History Museum only possesses 1% of the fossil, while the remaining 99% belongs to Mr. Spirit Crows.

"Through discussions with Mr. Spirit Crows’ office, the cultivation center agreed to rent the fossil skull for 1 billion Xia Yuan a year.

"Out of this amount, 990 million Xia Yuan is paid to Mr. Spirit Crows’ office and deposited into Mr. Spirit Crows’ account, with the remaining 10 million Xia Yuan paid to Xijing City Natural History Museum.

"I heard that Xijing City Natural History Museum only spent 3 million Xia Yuan to buy the fossil many years ago, now they can recoup in three years, and it’s pure profit after that — you could say they hit the jackpot."

Ling Shuiling nodded: "That makes sense, without Mr. Spirit Crows there would be no mammoth cub, the fossil indeed doesn’t belong to Xijing City Natural History Museum."

Yang Fan was dumbfounded upon hearing this.

This kind of scheme? The people at the cultivation center are truly geniuses!

One can imagine the shock the people at Xijing City Natural History Museum must have felt upon hearing the supreme court’s decision — like being hit by a bolt from the blue.

And when the museum director went home later, he would certainly cry bitterly in the bathroom.

It was clearly desirable profit lying in their bowl, yet someone managed to snatch it away with chopsticks.

Yang Fan knew that Mr. Spirit Crows’ office regularly sent him detailed report documents, which must include this matter.

However, due to the overwhelming volume of information sent each time, he overlooked many lesser things, hence he wasn’t aware that he had an added "annual 990 million Xia Yuan" income.

Three minutes later.

The electric vehicle pulled up directly in front of a pavilion.

The two followed the female guide inside, immediately seeing the origin of the legend — the mammoth fossil skull.

A reinforced glass cabinet several meters square enclosed the fossil tightly.

Six beams of light descended from the top, illuminating the fossil from various angles.

A large tray beneath the fossil rotates slowly, allowing visitors to see the full view without moving.

Aside from the two, there were several other tourists nearby.

Yang Fan glanced over and immediately recognized them as people from official institutions, taking advantage of their position to come and take a look.

The female guide dutifully explained: "Initially, this fossil was much larger than it is now. Later, Mr. Spirit Crows held a revival ceremony, and the mammoth’s soul returned from ancient times, reviving the fossil in a miraculous manner.

"The mammoth roared a furious sound from the ancient past, lingered in the world for a few seconds, then rapidly turned to dust, leaving only this skull..."

The official personnel joined the explanation, each one expressing amazement.

Yang Fan, being the person concerned, felt a bit distracted as he listened.

The female guide pointed again to the large screen on the right side of the hall and smiled: "We recorded the entire process of the revival ceremony, it is extremely classified material.

"After careful consideration, the higher-ups decided to open it to the public; everyone can appreciate the demeanor of the world’s top experts."

Yang Fan felt like laughing.

He immediately knew that the official researchers were perplexed after viewing the video, unable to deduce anything, prompting the decision to release it, promoting Great Xia’s experts.

After all, this is the power of past star formations; even superpower users can’t decipher its nature.

The female guide quickly approached the large screen, picked up a remote control, and pressed a button.

The large screen lit up.

The video of the revival ceremony began playing.

As expected.

The on-site viewers were all deeply shocked.

After the screen went dark again, the exhibition hall remained silent for several seconds before anyone spoke.

"Amazing!"

"This is a technique of immortals!"

Ling Shuiling sighed: "Previously, I thought Mr. Ghost was Canglan Star’s foremost expert. Now after watching this video, I feel that Mr. Spirit Crows’ prowess shouldn’t be inferior to Mr. Ghost."

Yang Fan uttered an "Hmm": "Once this exhibition hall opens, Mr. Spirit Crows will become very famous."

The female secretary concurred: "Mr. Spirit Crows is going to become world-renowned."

The female guide gestured with a hand: "The next exhibition hall is a knowledge hall on mammoths; to better understand Xiaoxia, you should first learn about the living habits of mammoths."

After speaking, she headed toward the nearby passage.

The official personnel were ready to follow but suddenly heard the buzzing vibration from their cell phones.

They pulled out their phones to check, their expressions changed drastically, then hurried away.

Yang Fan glanced back and his ears caught their hushed conversation.

"Oh my, an extreme cold cyclone has actually appeared over the Arctic Icefield."

"Based on satellite data, the temperature difference between the cyclone’s core and the periphery reaches an astonishing 50 degrees, this is too unscientific."

"Mr. Ghost’s judgment was spot on, looks like a global disaster is about to occur."
