Chapter 49: The Broken Sword

......

After breakfast, Ye Chen and Ye Hai came to the more famous Antiquities Street in Los Angeles together.

Antiquities Street has almost as long as Los Angeles, and the buildings are among the oldest, but the owners of the shops have changed many, and of course, most of them have been passed down from generation to generation.

Walking on the street, the goods in the shops on both sides made Ye Chen overwhelmed.

Ye Hai next to him said: "Antiquities Street is usually accompanied by opportunities, someone once bought a high-grade spirit stone that is inconspicuous for ten taels of silver, and Zuihou resold it to a Baoyuan Realm martial artist, earning more than two million taels of silver, and he will have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime." ”

Ye Chen smiled, he also knew about this. The spirit stone is divided into four grades, respectively, the lower grade, the middle grade, the upper grade and the best, the gap between each product is very large, under normal circumstances, a medium-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for fifty lower-grade spirit stones, and a high-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for fifty medium-grade spirit stones, converted, a high-grade spirit stone is equivalent to two thousand five hundred lower-grade spirit stones, that is, two hundred and fifty taels of silver, so that ordinary people can live a stable life for ten lives is not a problem.

"Let's go, let's go to Jiuding Xuan to have a look. Ye Hai stretched out his hand and pointed to the antiquities building twenty steps ahead.

Ye Chen nodded, Jiuding Xuan is a thousand-year-old store on Antiquities Street, the most extensive doorway, a nine-legged copper tripod in the center of the lobby is its signboard, at that time, the head of the Ye family wanted to buy, but was refused, and then it was not done, it is said that the background background of Jiuding Xuan is very strong, and even the Ye family has to think twice about moving it.

Crossing the threshold, there was no one to entertain, and everyone was busy with their own business.

Ye Chen and Ye Hai didn't care either, and walked in directly.

The entrance is a huge bronze tripod up to three people high, the color is blue and black, the shape is round, the surface is engraved with many ancient characters, and there are many differences, there are nine legs under its body to support, it looks flat and stable, as if it can support the heavens and the pole, and bring great shock to people's hearts.

Ye Chen took a deep breath, the last time he came was four years ago, he was not very sensible at that time, he didn't feel much when he saw the nine-legged copper tripod, he just felt very imposing, and now when he saw it, his soul seemed to be trembling, and the lively true qi faintly showed signs of condensation.

Glancing sideways at Ye Hai and seeing that he was indifferent, Ye Chen felt strange in his heart, but he didn't say it.

"Let's go to the second floor! The first floor is full of gadgets. After looking around casually, seeing that there were no antiquities he liked, Ye Chen proposed.

"Well, the antiquities on the first floor are no different from other antique shops. ”

The two walked side by side to the quaint and elegant second floor.

Compared with the first floor, there are very few people on the second floor, and there are only fifteen or sixteen people waiting on the side of the clerk, which seems extremely empty.

However, people who can go to the second floor have a lot of furniture, after all, the most ordinary antiquities on the second floor also cost nearly a thousand taels of silver to buy.

"Tsk, this stone figurine is at least hundreds of years old!" Ye Hai was attracted by the stone figurines that were one person tall and covered with cracks.

Ye Chen looked at it and lost interest, separated from Ye Hai, and walked to the other side.

At this time, someone had already chosen a favorite antiquity, but this antiquity surprised Ye Chen.

"Man, tell your shopkeeper, I want this wooden frame, it doesn't matter how much it is. "The man who spoke was a fat man, with a rich face, dressed luxuriously and exaggeratedly, with rings all over his fingers, and looked like a newly developed nouveau riche rich businessman, who seemed impatient.

The clerk was depressed, what are you going to do with the wooden frame where the antiquities are placed, aren't you deliberately embarrassed? ”

"Go and come back. The fat man waved his hand, his eyes fixed on the wooden frame, for fear that it would run away.

Ye Chen thought it was funny, but he had always been calm and reflected again, he couldn't judge people by their appearance, this wooden frame may not be without mystery.

After thinking about it, he looked at the wooden frame intently, and his soul power was released.

Airplanes!

A layer of invisible ripples seemed to bloom in the air, slowly penetrating into the wooden frame, meticulously searching, as long as there was any special place, Ye Chen could sense it.

Hey!

"This wooden frame actually contains a spirit stone, which contains dozens of times the vitality of the lower grade spirit stone, so it seems that it must be a medium-grade spirit stone, equivalent to 50,000 taels of silver, but how did this fat man perceive it, or he just took a fancy to this wooden frame, and had no other thoughts. Ye Chen was shocked, but a mere fifty thousand taels of silver was not worth his temptation, with his current strength, it was easy to make money, of course, it was easier to spend money. ,

The shopkeeper of Jiudingxuan hurriedly walked up and said to the fat rich merchant with a smile on his face: "Guest officer, are you sure you want this wooden frame?"

The fat rich businessman rolled his eyes, "Let's make a price!"

The shopkeeper stretched out a finger, "Ten thousand taels." ”

"Well, it's cheap, my father-in-law should love this old wooden frame. The fat rich merchant did not frown, and took out a golden ticket with a face value of 1,000 taels from the storage spirit ring.

"If you like it, Xiao Li, help the guest clean up the wooden frame. The shopkeeper accepted the golden ticket and instructed the clerk on the side.

Ye Chen was speechless for a while, if what the fat rich businessman said was true, then he really didn't see the special wooden frame, it was just used to please his father-in-law, and the shopkeeper didn't know where to get this wooden frame, which was used as an ornament on the second floor, so it was not a loss.

It seems that in Jiudingxuan, there are too many strange things, and it is not unusual.

Shaking his head, Ye Chen passed by several people.

There are too many antiquities on the second floor, there are half copper mirrors covered with patina, vases with black colors, and cloth of unknown ages, and more broken armor weapons, such as chain mail, steel armor, tangram armor, long knives, broken spears, broken swords, curved iron rods, meteor hammers with missing chains, and so on.

Releasing his soul power, Ye Chen looked over one by one, his eyes were as indifferent as water.

zuihou, the only thing that catches the eye is the meteor hammer, if it is restored to its original appearance, the value will not be lower than the treasure knife in the leaf dust storage spirit ring, it may still be excessive.

It's a pity that the crippled meteor hammer has disappeared, and after thousands of years of erosion, the aura is gone, and it can only be used as an ornament or an antique when it is taken back, and it cannot be used, which is unacceptable to Ye Chen.

Putting down the meteor hammer, Ye Chen was about to leave.

Suddenly, his gaze fixed on a broken sword in the gap between the wooden frame and the wall, this broken sword only had the hilt and a small half of the sword's body, the surface was dull and inconspicuous, and he did not know how many years it had been hidden here, obscure.

Reaching out to pick up the broken sword, Ye Chen observed it for a while, and then urged his soul power to penetrate into it.

"Hahahahahahahaha......ha

A desolate and vast laughter rushed straight into Ye Chen's mind, and in an instant, Ye Chen seemed to have come to ancient times, where the world was chaotic, and only laughter entered his ears.

"What's going on?" Ye Chen cut off his soul power, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The ability to use soul power to probe objects was only excavated by Ye Chen not long ago, and unlike spiritual power, the exploration of soul power was deeper, rather than sticking to the surface, otherwise he would not have noticed that there were medium-grade spirit stones in the wooden frame.
