The Deer Jiao's Reverse Scale.
It was exceedingly rare simply because the Deer Jiao originated from the bitterly cold lands of the extreme north; it was not an Exotic Beast native to the Great Wei Dynasty.
The Jiuqu Lineage had only obtained it by chance. Rumor had it that the Jiuqu Divine Doctor purchased it from a merchant who constantly traveled between Bei Mang and Great Wei. Because the merchant failed to recognize its true value, the divine doctor scored a massive bargain. Overjoyed, he rewarded Wen Xiuyin with one of the scales.
At this moment, Wen Xiuyin stood up in shock and anger, glaring at Yuan Liu'er in utter disbelief. Had she not been absolutely certain that no one else present recognized the Deer Jiao's Reverse Scale, she would have assumed someone was secretly instructing Yuan Liu'er.
