Chapter XVIII, Tortoiseshell Pieces

Along the antique street, Chu He stopped for a moment in front of each stall to perceive with spiritual power. Not to mention spiritual objects, there are not even many items with a sense of history.

There is a slight sense of history, but the price offered by the stall owner is surprisingly high, obviously knowing the value of things.

Shaking his head, Chu He almost visited the entire antique market, but he didn't find a single item that reacted to spiritual power, but the spiritual power in his body was almost exhausted.

In this era when cultivators are not visible, spiritual objects are too rare. The items handed down by the former cultivators may have been damaged a lot during that war of resistance. Coupled with the dark ages of the past ten years, real cultivators and magic weapons and the like, there may be very few in the world.

"I'm still too optimistic."

Chu He sighed. Although the antique market in H City is large, it cannot stand the scarcity of magic weapons. Not a single one.

Going around and around, he returned to the door of the store where Chu He had originally entered, and Chu He took a look and planned to leave.

At this time, the waiter of the shop scolded and pushed a person out, who looked very depressed, his hair was as messy as a chicken nest, his clothes were full of patches, and his hands were tortoiseshells, and his face was also very dirty, and he looked weathered, and the whole person was tired.

"This is really from my ancestors, it is really a jade given by Cixi, you can accept it!" He pleaded with the boy.

"Master Xu has said that your thing is not valuable, and jade is also a modern product, so I will give you five hundred at most." The waiter clasped his hands and looked at the down-and-out man horizontally, with disgust in his eyes.

"Look at it again, I'm really a good thing!" The man begged, and he didn't know how to justify it, so he just kept saying that things were good.

"Alright, alright, let's go!"

The waiter watched the surroundings gradually surrounded by the crowd, waved his hand impatiently to the man, and said loudly: "Master Xu said, your tortoise shell is a few years old, but it is not very far away and is not worth much. The jade on it is even more modern, we can accept it, but we will give you a maximum of 500 yuan! ”

When the people around heard the boy's words, they all nodded suddenly.

"It turned out that Master Xu said it, that must be true!"

"Yes, this man looks like he needs money urgently, but it's a pity."

"It can't be a liar, there have been liars who pretended to be like this before!"

………

As soon as the people around heard that it was Master Xu's appraisal, they no longer had a voice of dissatisfaction with the waiter's behavior of pushing and shoving the down-and-out man just now, but gradually raised a voice of suspicion about the man.

"I ...... I ......" The man listened to the voices of the crowd around him, wanted to say something, but didn't know how to say it, and his eyes were red in a hurry.

With a plop, he suddenly knelt down towards the crowd around him, and his voice choked: "This is really an ancestral item, please, everyone, please take a look, palm ...... eyes"

The people around watched the man's actions gradually quieted down, and they didn't say anything, only heard the man's voice.

"My ancestor is a guard in the palace, this is the tortoise shell given by the Empress Dowager Cixi, the jade given by herself, I beg you, help me palm the eye, my daughter is going to have surgery, she really needs money!"

The man cried and placed the tortoise shell in front of him.

"Alas! Let me take a look. A man walked out of the crowd, took a flashlight and a magnifying glass, picked up a tortoise shell and looked at it.

After a while, the man shook his head helplessly in the man's expectant eyes and returned to the crowd.

"You, don't go, look at it again, I'm really a good thing!" Watching the man leave, the man's eyes turned red.

"Alas, this thing is really worthless." The man who went to the appraisal just now looked at the down-and-out man, sighed and said, "Don't kneel, get up." Master Xu is a master in the antique industry, I also saw it just now, and it is indeed worthless. ”

"It's impossible, it's impossible......" the man wailed, holding up the tortoiseshell: "Why don't you look at it again, look at it again!" ”

"I'll take a look." A young woman walked out of the crowd, came to the man, and took the tortoiseshell: "You get up first, I'll help you identify it." ”

"Thank you, thank you!" The man hurriedly thanked him, got up and looked at the woman there.

After a while, the woman raised her head and looked at the man: "That's it, I'll give you five thousand yuan and collect it." ”

"Five... Five thousand? The man was stunned, where was the dumbfounded pestle, looked at the woman, and said, "Can't it be any higher?" If you take a closer look, how can it be worth five thousand? ”

The woman shook her head and sighed, handed the tortoise shell back to the man, and returned to the crowd. Five thousand yuan, it's just the price she offered when she looked at the man's pity, and the actual value may really be only five hundred yuan.

The people around looked at the two people who came forward and retreated, and a sigh sounded, gradually dispersed, and a kind person stepped forward to persuade the man, but also gradually left.

The waiter had already returned to the shop, leaving only Chu He and the middle-aged man standing there.

The middle-aged man didn't know what he was thinking, and after a while, he seemed to have made a decision, silently put away the tortoise shell, looked at Chu He, didn't speak again, and planned to leave.

"Can you show me your stuff?"

Just as the man passed by Chu He's side, Chu He suddenly sensed that there was a spiritual reaction on the tortoise shell, and hurriedly asked.

"Do you want it?" The man looked at Chu He's appearance, he should be a son, and he was a little curious about the tortoise shell.

He took out the tortoise shell, smiled bitterly, and handed it to Chu He: "Five hundred yuan, you take it." ”

Chu He took the tortoise shell, which was no different from an ordinary tortoise shell, except that there was a piece of jade in the center of the back shell.

As soon as the spiritual power was emanated, Chu He immediately sensed the absorption of spiritual power from the tortoise shell.

It wasn't the tortoise shell, or the jade, but a thumb-sized piece of nail on the tortoiseshell.

"Do you need money?" Chu He rubbed the piece of armor and asked slowly.

When the man heard Chu He's words, a trace of fire flashed in his eyes: "Yes, I need 200,000, you can let me do anything!" ”

Seeing the man's excited appearance, Chu He didn't say anything, just wanted to take out his mobile phone to transfer money, only to remember that his broken mobile phone hadn't been changed yet, so he said to the man: "You come with me first, I'll transfer it to you later." ”

"Good, good, thank you, thank you!" The man hurriedly answered, tears streaming from his eyes. Finally, I finally got my daughter's expenses.

Chu He left the antique market directly with the man and came to a mobile phone store. After swiping the card to buy two of the latest mobile phones, I transferred 200,000 yuan to the man on the spot.

"Thank you, thank you so much!"

The man received the transfer and hurriedly bowed to Chu He and thanked him.

"It's okay, it's just a deal, I took the tortoise shell."

Chu He waved his hand, took the tortoise shell and turned to leave. He was going to take a good look at the piece of armor on the tortoiseshell.

"By the way, how did you get this tortoise shell?" Just as he was about to get into the car, Chu He suddenly asked.

"This one!" The man touched his head and said embarrassedly: "This tortoise shell was only handed down from my grandfather's generation, and I don't know how it came from." But don't worry, benefactor, this jade was really given to my ancestors by Cixi! ”

Chu He nodded and said no more. He didn't care about the origin of the jade, but was only interested in the carapace on this tortoiseshell. Since the man didn't know, he wasn't interested in asking again. But he still said to the man: "When you go back, look at the house, if there is still a tortoise shell or something passed down from your grandfather, contact me, and I will receive one for 10,000." ”

"Okay, benefactor, go slowly!" Hearing Chu He's words, his face was overjoyed and he hurriedly agreed.

Leaving with the tortoise shell, Chu He returned home. There is a formation he has arranged at home to ensure that he is not monitored. Modern technology is so advanced, there is surveillance everywhere outside, in case any changes in the nail piece are discovered, it will be a big trouble.

He took out some tools and took out the tortoiseshell fragment.

When this tortoiseshell piece is glued to the tortoise shell, it looks no different from a normal carapace. But as soon as it was taken out, Chu He immediately discovered its differences.

I don't know if this armor piece is because it absorbed the spiritual power of the Chu River, or if it was originally like this, and a line appeared on the side that was originally glued and covered.

This pattern seems to contain some kind of magic, it is very comfortable to look at, like a great road pattern, which is fascinating.

"It's amazing!"

Chu He stared at this piece of armor for a long time before he came back to his senses. Then he continued to deliver spiritual power to this armor piece, wanting to see its subsequent reaction.

As Chu He's spiritual power continued to be output, the armor piece seemed to be undergoing some kind of change, floating into the air on its own, as if it was cheering with joy.

It wasn't until the spiritual power in Chu He's body was exhausted and he could no longer convey spiritual power that this armor piece slowly fell and fell silent.

Chu He grabbed it and looked at it, it was still the same line that ran through both ends. All the aura in his body didn't seem to make any changes in it.

"Strange, is it because of the lack of spiritual power?" Chu He pondered, he was only now just getting started with Qi cultivation, and it was indeed possible that this was the reason.

However, this armor piece is really mysterious, and it actually floated on its own just now. Moreover, Chu He found that after the little time he had just observed the lines, his spiritual power had actually increased, although the growth was not much, but it was a real growth.

"Baby, you have to put it away." Chu He observed the lines for a while, determined that this armor piece could promote the growth of spiritual power, and put this armor piece into the system backpack.

In the long run, when your spiritual power is strong enough, you can arrange the Spirit Gathering Formation, and then you will no longer need to eat a lot of food when you cultivate.

After putting away the tortoise shell, Chu He took out another sea urchin and Changhong. He wanted to cut open the sea urchin and see the structure inside.

Syllable!

Changhong easily cut the sea urchin into two pieces, and the internal structure of the sea urchin appeared in front of Chu He.

"I'm going, so scary?"

Chu He looked at the sea urchin that was divided into two halves, although Changhong cut off some of the parts inside, but he could still see its original structure.

A small machine, gears, spring structure devices, and many small needles were hidden inside, and when Chu He's sword was cut, those small needles bounced out.

However, it was not as powerful as the original power that could pierce the outer iron shell of the sea urchin when it was ejected, so it just bounced out and fell to the ground.

Chu He picked up a thin needle, which was also telescopic, hidden inside the sea urchin, and when the sea urchin was hit, these needles burst out under the linkage of the machine device, revealing their edge.

"The wisdom and skill of the ancients are exquisite, and the punctuality is impressive!"

Looking at the sea urchin parts in one place, Chu He hastily cleaned it up and threw it into the trash. This technique is indeed exquisite, and it is really difficult to make it with modern technology.

It's not that it can't be made, but the cost is too high, just after the iron needle is popped out, it is tightly sealed with the iron sheet on the surface, and there is no trace. This technology is definitely at the national level. It is so small and precise that it is so difficult that the money spent is unimaginable.

With that money, Chu He can buy many things that are more useful to him, and the form of the hidden weapon doesn't matter to him, anyway, it's just a regular skill hit, shoot an iron rod into the sky from a kilometer away, and land on top of the target's head. Under gravitational acceleration, it is also a fatal blow. You don't even know who, where, and how you hit it, and you die, isn't it also a secret weapon?
