Chapter 96: Secret Treasure Conference (7) Serpentine Wood

After Yaqu, six or seven items were auctioned in a row, the scene was decent, and the prices of the treasures auctioned were reasonable, and this secret treasure conference was finally back to normal.

Of course, many people know in their hearts that it is just a temporary normal.

At this time, a new auction item was placed at the booth, and this time this item attracted the attention of Cen Xiyan and Jiang An and others!

It was a piece of wood, not carved wooden crafts, just some lightly treated wood.

The host introduced: "This is a Persian merchant, from a very distant country to bring exotic wood, its name snake mulberry wood, the texture is extremely hard, the texture is very beautiful, is a rare precious wood, the reserve price is eight hundred taels, interested guests, you can enjoy it first, and then you can bid." ”

This introduction is very ordinary, and it is not exaggerated and exaggerated, presumably, even the host, and even the merchants who brought this wood, do not know the characteristics of this wood very well? Its buying point is nothing more than the hard texture, beautiful texture, and most importantly, a selling point, it comes from a distant foreign country!

People are always full of yearning and curiosity about things that have not been seen and are not local, and the seller may be the psychology of the guests, otherwise, a single piece of wood is really not qualified to be exhibited and auctioned at the Secret Treasure Conference.

At this secret treasure conference, there are so many large merchants specializing in wood and wood carving products, but most of them don't know much about this snake mulberry wood, and they haven't even heard of it.

Among them, the most exciting ones are probably a few people in Cen Xiyan's box.

"Snake mulberry?" Jiang An's tone was slightly excited, and he stretched his neck to look at the booth, "Is it serpentine?" ”

He was now very anxious that the waiter, with the lacquer plate, would come to their box as soon as possible, so that he might have a good look at the wood.

Cen Xiyan's eyes were also shining, his eyes were staring at the first floor, and he replied, "It should be." ”

In fact, if the wood is really snake mulberry wood, she can be sure in her heart that it is serpentine wood! In her previous life, she had seen the information of Serpentine Wood, and it also had a name, it was called Snake Mulberry!

In a previous life, the origin of this wood was the primeval jungle near the Amazon basin in South America, and in this distorted time and space, she did not know if there was an Amazon now, but it was correct to say that this wood was an exotic wood.

Serpentine wood, in her original world, is the world's endangered cherished and protected plant, and it is also one of the most precious woods in the world!

And in this time and space, or in the neighboring countries she knew, there were very few people who knew about this kind of wood, even if it was an old craftsman who had tinkered with wood all his life, he might not have heard of it.

Cen Xiyan is not surprised by this, it should be because its wood origin is too far away, the time and space transportation is inconvenient, and the circulation channels of goods are too narrow, so everyone has never seen it, and it is not surprising that there are not many people who know about it.

The reason why the children of Yuanyinmen know about this wood is because in the codex left by their grandfather, there is a detailed description of this wood, and it is also accompanied by a picture.

The description of the master said that this wood heartwood is extremely resistant to corrosion, insect moth, smooth cutting surface, beautiful texture, is an extremely rare good wood, and the most important point for the disciples of Yuanyinmen to remember and think in their hearts is: this wood is harder and heavier than Tieli wood! You can even craft weapons such as knives, which are as tough as fine iron weapons!

So at this moment, Jiang An and the others will be so excited, they have only seen this serpentine wood in the master's codex, even if they have heard rumors for a long time, but they have never seen this wood.

If this snake mulberry wood is really serpentine, then it would be great if it could be photographed!

At this time, the waiter with the lacquer plate had already walked to the door of Cen Xiyan and the others' box.

Jiang An hurriedly said, "Come in and show us the wood." ”

The waiter hurriedly brought in the wood, brought it to the table, and said with a respectful smile: "Please enjoy it." ”

Jiang An and the stewards rushed over to examine the wood carefully.

Cen Xiyan is the identity of the entourage at the moment, so it is naturally not good for her to step forward and check with Jiang An and the others, but her eyes did not leave the wood, but fortunately, Jiang An and the others deliberately left a gap and did not block her vision.

That section of wood, about one and a half feet in diameter at breast height, about half a foot in heartwood, about two feet long, is not very big, but for serpentine wood, such a large section is extremely rare. The difference between the heartwood and sapwood of the wood is obvious, the sapwood is wide, pale yellowish white, the heartwood is dark reddish-brown, and the wood has irregular black spots and patterns, similar to snake patterns, which is indeed serpentine wood!

A few people on the river bank, after checking, nodded at the waiter, and the waiter stepped forward, holding the lacquer plate, and turned to other boxes.

After the waiter went out, Jiang An and the other people's eyes invariably looked at Cen Xiyan, waiting for her final decision, for this young master, they believed in her vision and judgment very much.

Cen Xiyan nodded slightly at the others, "It's serpentine, that's right!" ”

"That'...... Are we going to participate in the bidding? Jiang An asked.

There was anticipation in his tone, and his eyes were even hotter!

Several other stewards also looked at Cen Xiyan, and their eyes were the same.

Cen Xiyan didn't answer Jiang'an's question immediately, but frowned and thought about it, of course she also wanted to photograph the serpentine wood in her heart, it was really rare to meet this kind of precious and excellent material! In the hands of people who don't know the goods, it's really a waste, even a waste!

But she had some hesitation in her heart, the two auction items they had just now pushed Yaqu to an unprecedented height, and now many people should be paying attention to the movement of their box, right?

She still hasn't figured out how Yaqu attracted people's attention, who was targeted, and how much did the other party know about Yaqu? What is the purpose?

Now at this secret treasure conference, there is such a piece of wood, which should be on the side of the treasure in the eyes of the world, although it is an exotic wood, but it is still a little strange, could it be that someone deliberately set up a cover, waiting for them to drill into it stupidly?

Perhaps, she is a little too cautious, but ...... I'm just a little uneasy!

"Childe?" Jiang An didn't hear Cen Xiyan's response for a long time, and couldn't help but call her in confusion.

At this time, the waiter had already walked around the second floor, and then walked to the first floor with the lacquer plate. I guess there aren't many people who are interested in this wood......

Cen Xiyan stared at the wood in the waiter's hand and glanced at it again, because of the little conjecture in his heart that had not yet been written, did he just give up this piece of material? It's a little unwilling......
