Agarwood is not a kind of wood that can be taken directly from a type of wood like sandalwood, nor can it be taken directly from a resin like dipterocarp, it is a solid condensate mixed with various components such as gum, resin, volatile oil, wood, etc., with different volumes and shapes. The plants that can form agarwood are mainly several incense trees of the genus Agarwood in the family Ruixiangaceae, but the wood of these incense trees itself has no obvious aroma.

The aroma of agarwood at room temperature is elegant, rich, cool, mellow when smoked, and it lasts for a long time, and the agarwood becomes incense for a long time, which is rare and rare, so it has been valued by the world since ancient times.

Natural incense trees generally do not have developed resin glands until ten or more decades before they can form "incense knots", and "incense knots" can only be truly "matured" after a long time. Some incense trees can live for hundreds of years, and the agarwood that remains after lodging often has a lifespan of hundreds of years, so the ancients praised agarwood as "a collection of thousands of years of heaven and earth aura." ”

This "a reed across the river" agarwood ornaments, exquisite carving, smooth carving, with the shape, the agarwood material is delicate and warm, the oil line is clear, although the producer has been difficult to verify, but its exquisite craftsmanship is definitely a model of contemporary agarwood carving.

Referring to the transaction price in previous auctions, the price of this agarwood ornament should be more than 50 million, and considering the special effect on ancient martial arts cultivators, the actual auction price may be higher.

The second random sacrifice had such a big harvest, and the enthusiasm of the blue sky rain was even higher, and then the third random sacrifice began.

This time the altar was filled with a pile of tattered old clothes, wasting another opportunity to sacrifice.

For the fourth random sacrifice, more than a hundred boxes of beautifully packaged bird's nests appeared on the altar. Although the value of these bird's nests is not high, after reading the information on the light screen, Lan Tianyu is quite satisfied with the results of this sacrifice.

These more than 100 boxes of bird's nest are extremely precious and superb blood bird's nests!

Because Mu Hui is not in good health, she often takes some bird's nest to nourish her body. Although Lan Tianyu's understanding of bird's nest is not at the expert level, he still knows the basic classification.

Bird's nest is a precious food, which is divided into blood bird's nest, yellow bird's nest and white bird's nest according to its color. It is rich in nutrients such as iron and minerals. Its main effects are to nourish yin, moisturize the lungs, replenish deficiency, beautify and nourish the skin, regulate internal organ meridian disorders, relieve stress, replenish physical strength, etc. Mu Hui's body has always been relatively weak, and if she can take this superb blood swallow regularly, it will naturally be of great benefit to her condition.

Blood swiftlet belongs to a kind of cave bird's nest, is the swiftlet nesting on the rock wall of the cave, the minerals inside the rock wall through the bird's nest and the rock wall contact surface or through the dripping water of the rock wall, slowly penetrate into the bird's nest, in which the iron element will show part of the irregular, smudged rust red, so it is called blood bird's nest.

The formation of blood bird's nest requires the fit of all conditions, and there is great accidentality, so the output is extremely rare, and the best in the blood bird's nest is even rarer, and it has never been priceless.

The more than 100 boxes of bird's nest he sacrificed were extremely high-grade blood bird's nests, and the market price per gram was about 100 yuan. But because of the scarcity of quantity, it is not easy to really spend money on the market to buy it. In the past, most of the bird's nests taken by Mu Hui were more common official swallows on the market, and the blood bird's nest had only taken two boxes, and it was still an ordinary grade, which was not such a rare and superb product.

The weight of each box of bird's nest on the altar is about two taels, that is, 100 grams, and the market price is about 10,000 yuan. But this kind of real best blood bird's nest, even if you are willing to spend money, it is difficult to buy it in the market.

These superb blood swallows are the best to nourish the body of Lan Tianyu's mother, so Lan Tianyu is quite satisfied with the results of this sacrifice.

This was followed by the fifth random sacrifice, this time resulting in three different rhino horn cups.

One is the rhino horn cup of the late Qing Dynasty, the other is the rhino horn cup of the middle of the Qing Dynasty, although the carving process of these two rhino horn cups is also exquisite, but the producer is not a famous rhino carving master, the market price of the two rhino horn cups is about the same, about one million yuan.

The most important thing for blue sky and rain is the "Zhang Qian Fancha" rhino horn cup of Bao Tiancheng in the Ming Dynasty.

Bao Tiancheng is a famous sculptor in Jiangsu in the Ming Dynasty, he can use rhino horn, ivory, all kinds of hardwood, spices and other materials, carved KitKat's exquisite cups, boxes, fan pendants and hairpins, seals, picture boxes, etc., all kinds of KitKat, meticulous workmanship, far ahead of the predecessors, and Suzhou's jade master Lu Zigang is equally famous, very prestigious in the south of the Yangtze River.

Rhino horn carving has not formed a special arts and crafts profession, mostly by bamboo, wood, ivory carving artists part-time. In the literature, only the Ming Dynasty artist Bao Tian became a famous craftsman specializing in carving rhino horns. Bao Tiancheng is an outstanding master of rhino horn carving, and is known as one of the three stunts of Wu Zhongsan by the Ming people. The precision of his works and the rarity of circulation are all well-known in the Tibetan world.

This rhino horn whole device takes the chariot as the overall shape, and the back of the cabin sits a long-bearded old man, that is, Zhang Qian, a famous minister of the Han Dynasty. His demeanor is calm and calm, dressed in a long robe, wearing a scarf, holding a Ganoderma lucidum Ruyi, flipping through a book scroll, surrounded by flowers and fruits. The tide of the river is surging, and the outside and bottom of the cup are engraved with water ripple decoration, which is full of dynamics, so that people suddenly feel that this boat is rippling on the water.

Bao Tiancheng grasped Zhang Qian's drunken and obsessed expression just right, and his expression was vividly portrayed. The water waves under the chacha are surging into a whirlpool, as if sailing in the rapids, and the water ripples are layered and detailed. This cup shape is unique, sharp with a knife, fine polishing, smooth carving, through delicate portrayal, although Zhang Qian is a boat in dangerous waters, but confident, like a leisurely stroll of the demeanor vividly displayed, worthy of the hand of the rhino horn carving master Bao Tiancheng, is indeed a rare treasure.

The theme of "Immortals Riding Chacha" is ancient and interesting, originally from Zhang Hua's "Naturalist Chronicles" in the Jin Dynasty, and mixed with Zhang Qian's story of asking the source of the river in the Song Dynasty. During the Yuan and Ming dynasties, Zhang Qian's Pancha was already a familiar classic, such as Bowangcha, Han Envoy, etc., all of which were classics. Therefore, whether it is the silver cup of Yuan Zhu Bishan or the various rhino horn carved cups in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the immortals on it can be regarded by Zhang Qian.

Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions when he encountered the river obstruction, although he traced the river to find the source, but unexpectedly reached the fairyland, met the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, and gave the loom on the cloth stone strip. Later generations mostly used "immortals riding the chariot" as a metaphor for "smooth sailing" and "smooth progress".

In the rhino cup with the theme of the character, the rhino cup is more limited by the shape of the original material in the shape design than the general rhino cup, which prevailed in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and is mostly made of jade, rhino, elephant, wood, bamboo and other materials, and the rhino horn products are among the best.

This rhino horn cup is engraved with a seal on the side of the body, minus the earth yang document "Bao Tiancheng", which proves that this rhino horn cup is undoubtedly Bao Tiancheng's genuine product
