Frank sneered. "Ms. Lionheart, don't you think you're being overconfident? Also, word of advice—take a closer look at whatyou're holding. Does it really have a hundred years’ worth of medicinal value?"
"What?" Sif did a double take but did not check her Hyperion Root as she retorted, "This is a Hyperion Root—there's no faking it.The roots are intertwined, a crystalline yellow and carries a fresh scent. How could it not be a hundred years old?"
"That's not quite right." Frank shook his head and smiled. "Ms. Lionheart, the Hyperion Root grows one tertiary root every tenyears, so why don't you start counting if it's the right number?"
Frank's words finally built doubt in Sif at that—if memory serves, it should be ten."One, two, three..." She started counting, her face soon falling once she stopped at nine.
She counted again and again, but the Hyperion Root only had nine tertiary roots. And she was dead certain there was no tenthroot.
“Are you sure the roots decide the age?! I'll kill you if | find out you're lying!" Sif snapped at Frank, but her expression was clearlyuncomfortable and her voice was shaking.
Frank shrugged. "Why don't you ask the boy from Hundred Bane Sect? They'd know nature's treasures the best."
“Hey! You, from Hundred Bane Sect! Get over here!" Sif snapped at Tavis Holt right then, summoning him over. "The HyperionRoot—does it grow tertiary roots every ten years?"
"That's true." Tavis glanced a lazy look at Frank before giving the Hyperion Root his full attention. and his face soon fell, with seattrickling down his cheeks.
It was fortunate he did not bid for it, or his mentor would have his head for it. The Hyperion Root was really too young!
Still, he flashed an awkward smile. "Well, I'm sorry to tell you this, but the Hyperion Root was harvested too early. Each HyperionRoot is a secondary root, and it must have ten tertiary roots for a hundred years’ worth of medicinal value."
Tavis then pointed at a little bulb on the root. "There. Another tertiary root would be growing out of that bulge—it still needsanother ten years to fully mature."
“Another ten years?!" Sif gaped, finally convinced.

In short, it was a dud.
