Chapter 11 Recipes
(There are not many manuscripts in stock now, in order to ensure stable updates, so it can't be too fast, generally maintaining a speed of one and a half chapters a day, and can't meet more reminder requirements, forgive me.) )
Zhao Zhuo put away the paintings one after another, then glanced outside and asked, "Mr. Qin, who was that Mr. Su just now?" ”
Qin Xin frowned slightly and said, "He is a celebrity in the Zhongtian Club, and he is also a professional appraiser. ”
Zhao Zhuo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and the movements in his hands stopped, because he knew very well the meaning of the five words professional appraiser.
If you want to become an appraiser, you must pass the appraiser examination and thus have an appraiser certificate. After becoming an appraiser, he was able to appraise antiques for others, issue an appraisal certificate, and collect a fee.
However, most appraisers have other professions, appraisal is just a hobby, and the appraiser exam is just for multiple certificates in order to find a job.
In the appraiser association, there are not many people who really take appraisal as a full-time person, and even Yu Weiyang, who is the branch president, is the deputy director of the Huaihai Cultural Relics Research Institute.
As Yu Weiyang said, to gain a foothold in the appraiser association, it depends on fame, which is not only the ability of appraisal, but also its own social status.
However, professional appraisers are different.
Professional appraisers generally have a good family background and background, have a rich cultural heritage, and receive higher education, they generally pass the appraiser examination in the provincial capital city, and join a specialized appraiser company after obtaining the qualification certificate.
Unlike the appraiser association that serves the general public, professional appraisers only serve the upper class, and the fees charged are also very expensive, plus their own families are wealthy, so their clothes are also very professional, like Su Wenhan's suit is worth tens of thousands, compared with Zhao Zhuoyi, the grade gap between the two is not ordinarily large.
For them, once there is a mistake, not only will they lose money but also lose their reputation, due to contact with a large number of expensive antiques, the psychological quality of professional appraisers is not comparable to ordinary appraisers.
Su Wenhan is the manager-level figure of the Huaihai City Professional Appraisal Company-Huoyan Appraisal Company, and compared with a professional appraiser like him who seems to have fought on the battlefield, Zhao Zhuo is just a flower growing up in a greenhouse.
Qin Xin said: "There are more than a dozen professional appraisers in this fire eye appraisal company, each of them has a good background, these appraisers are the objects pursued by some famous ladies, you should also know that if the son-in-law of the family is a professional appraiser, it is also an honor for the rich." ”
Zhao Zhuo nodded slightly, and said curiously: "Is there only such a professional appraisal company in the city?" ”
Qin Xin shook his head and said, "Of course not, there are two in total, and the other one is called Jindi." The competition of professional appraisers is very cruel, and the same is true between companies, which are unified commercial operations, and professional appraisers are packaged and promoted. Speaking of this, he remembered it and smiled, "In a few days, it will be the club's annual treasure appreciation conference, and then you can see the two families fighting." ”
"Treasure Appreciation Conference?" Zhao Zhuoxi said in surprise.
Qin Xin said with a smile: "Every year in this month, the club will hold a treasure appraisal meeting, in order to select the three most powerful appraisers, as long as the appraisers brought by the members of the club are eligible to participate. However, this battle is also a matter between the two companies, and it is very fierce. ”
"Sounds interesting." Zhao Zhuo smiled, just look at this kind of competition, he has no intention of participating, even if the prize is rich, there is no need to compete with the two companies.
After being sent to the rented house by Qin Xin, Zhao Zhuo took out two paintings and began to apply ointment, then put them in front of the window for ventilation, and found an ancient book on the table, and then he remembered the book that Uncle Lin borrowed.
Yesterday, because I found out my mother's money, I didn't sleep well all night, but I forgot about it.
He sat down, picked up the ancient book and looked at it, the yellowed ancient book paper was a little crispy, quite in line with the characteristics of the ancient books of the Qing Dynasty, there was no text on the cover, as soon as he opened the home page, he saw the blue and bright ink text.
Zhao Zhuo is from the Department of History, so he naturally recognized this text at a glance as a seal, and the penmanship is very good.
Mo Ling saw that it was a seal script, so he came over to take a closer look and explained it to Zhao Zhuo.
Zhao Zhuo listened carefully and found that this was really a book for refining qi. At the beginning of the book, it is said that everything has a spirit, and the aura is born, and if you want to prolong your life, you need to temper your own aura to make it tough and powerful.
Turning the second page in a row, I saw that there were three big characters written on it: Xingqi Chapter.
opened it one after another, only to see the method of refining qi explained in detail above, this refining qi is actually the same as Zhao Zhuo's absorption of antique aura, but the book talks about absorbing the aura of heaven and earth in a place where the aura is abundant, and then refining the aura and collecting it in the lower abdomen.
When the spiritual power of the lower abdomen is first formed, the spiritual energy will overflow in the body, and he will live more than 100 years old.
Zhao Zhuo was secretly surprised when he saw it, what he said above was exactly the same as what he encountered that night, at that time, he forcibly controlled the aura, formed an air mass in the lower abdomen, and finally spread a large amount of aura to transform the body.
This only writes that it overflows into the body, that is probably because of the aura that I have absorbed too much, so it will have the effect of being reborn, after all, ordinary people do not have the ability to absorb the aura of antiques like this.
At this time, the book had turned to the last few pages, and Zhao Zhuo turned another page after that, only to see that there were three words on it: Rock Chapter.
There is also a small note below, which means that mortals have achieved great success in practicing their qi, and they have prolonged their lives and enjoyed their lives in peace. The rock chapter is the art of becoming an immortal and attaining the Tao, only waiting for those who are destined.
The art of becoming an immortal?
Zhao Zhuo's heart jumped, but he was full of suspicions, there is still one page to be turned over, why is there another rock chapter? Isn't there a second volume of this ancient book?
He cautiously turned the next page, it didn't matter if this page was turned open, Zhao Zhuo was taken aback!
There was no text on the page, but there were wisps of aura swimming, like living creatures.
Zhao Zhuo stared at the aura seriously, the ability of the yin and yang eyes was quickly triggered, and Zhao Zhuo came to an aura space with the aura that the ink spirit pierced through one by one.
In the middle of the space stood a stone tablet more than two meters high, and under Mo Ling's guidance, Zhao Zhuo quickly understood the meaning of what was written on the inscription.
Although there is no record of the origin of the inscription, nor who wrote it, what is recorded on it is a kind of qi refining and cultivating the true technique, called Jiujia Panshi Jin.
Jiujia Rock Jin is a kind of method to continuously temper the aura and strengthen it, and its realm has not been upgraded by one layer, so that the aura can form a heavy stone armor outside the body to resist attacks, and when refining the ninth layer, it will form a nine-fold stone armor.
As for how many attacks the stone armor can resist, it is not said above, but it is said that this kind of rock strength is not only used to resist, but can also be used for attacks, and the power is described in four words: earth-shattering.
After reading the inscription, Zhao Zhuo withdrew from the aura space, and when he looked at that page again, he found that the aura on it had dissipated at an extremely fast speed, and it was soon gone.
Fortunately, Zhao Zhuo and Mo Ling had already written down the inscription, and Zhao Zhuo believed that this magic technique must have been left by a master of the Dao, if he couldn't see the aura, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to enter that space, but he didn't expect that he would actually become a destined person.
Now that he had seen this inscription, Zhao Zhuo decided to start cultivating according to what was written above, in order to make himself stronger.
Moreover, Zhao Zhuo also wanted Mo Ling to practice this method together, maybe he could make the spiritual energy dissipate more slowly?
The cultivation of Jiujia Rock Jin is a difficult process, first of all, it is necessary to learn to use the aura in the body, Zhao Zhuo according to the formula, cross-legged on the bed, with a breath and a breath, with the consciousness to indulge the aura in the body.
Mo Ling was also obediently cross-legged on the side, squinting her little eyes and pondering, but unlike Zhao Zhuo, she herself is a spirit body, her whole body is full of aura, all controlled by consciousness, practicing this method is much faster than Zhao Zhuo's progress, it only took one night to form a layer of stone armor outside the body, but this stone armor can only last less than a second, and it is as thin as a cicada's wings, almost as soon as it condenses and shatters.
Zhao Zhuo looked envious, the spiritual things of this heaven and earth are really different, even the cultivation is so fast, in comparison, he has only touched a little bit of the doorway to control the aura, and he doesn't know how much time it will take to practice the stone armor.
