Chapter 42: Antiquities Street
readx; For a long time, a large number of practitioners tried to pick up leaks in the shops of Hangu Pass, which gave rise to a new industry - counterfeiting. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Of course, the history of the ancient world is tens of millions of years, and under the long history, there are a large number of items handed down from the ancient period, even the shopkeepers of the major pawn shops who specialize in this industry often go away, so there are still many real treasures circulating in the shops, waiting for someone to take them away.
Lin Yuan didn't rush to the grocery area to pick up the leaks, but first went to the Rejuvenation Workshop in the south of the city, and bought a sixth-order top-grade Qingxuandan with two thousand top-grade spirit stones, and spent an additional five hundred top-grade spirit stones to buy a piece of Qingxuanyu to hang on his body.
Qing Xuandan and Qing Xuanyu are both treasures used to repair the injuries of the divine soul, how much can extend the life of Fengzi Qi for a few years, of course, taking the opportunity to pay, Lin Yuan also asked for the five thousand top-grade spirit stones stored in Fengziqi, and the remaining two thousand five hundred top-grade spirit stones are used to pick up leaks, if the vision is high enough and the experience is enough, you can find some pretty good treasures.
Although Lin Yuan didn't have much research on antiquities, he could rely on another way to achieve his goal, and that was to observe the causal lines on the antiquities!
It is extremely difficult to investigate the origin of an antiquity by probing the causal line, but it is much easier to find out its age - the older the item, the more complicated the causal line on its body, and the antiquity may be able to be faked, but the causal line is not something that ordinary people can do, to be precise, looking at the entire desolate ancient world, no one may be able to manipulate the causal line to deceive people - even if there is, the big man of that level will not have the leisure to forge for some antiquities dealers.
After strolling around the grocery area for half a morning, Lin Yuan stopped at an inconspicuous stall, and after staring at it for a long time, he picked up a broken small stone from the stall and said tentatively: "Old man, how do you sell this thing?"
The stall owner, an old man who was over the age of old, stroked his beard and replied slowly: "Two hundred top-grade spirit stones." ”
Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, and only after half a sound did he twitch and said, "You're not joking, are you? This thing actually costs two hundred top-grade spirit stones?"
The old man rolled his eyes and glanced at Lin Yuan with a look of contempt: "Are you embarrassed to ask? I can't see such a big price card and still have the face to question the old man?" The young man is ...... now?"
Lin Yuanfang was relieved by the old man's reminder, and noticed that there was a tattered wooden sign inserted on the stall, and a few big characters were written crookedly with a brush on the sign: "The goods on the stall are all ten pieces of lower grade spirit stones and a catty, and I refuse to bargain." ”
"Ahem......" After making such a big fuss, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and said a little like a thief: "Since that's the case, then I want everything on the stall, how much is it in total?"
The old man rolled his eyes a little impatiently: "Do you want it? Why do you buy it?" If you don't study well at a young age, you don't want to come to entertain me, an old man, and I am not ashamed." ”
Listening to the old man's mocking words, Lin Yuan patted the Qiankun bag, feeling the remaining more than 2,000 top-grade spirit stones inside, and couldn't help but feel a trace of pride in his heart: "Why can't you afford it?" ”
The old man snorted and said, "Okay, old man, the sum of these things on my stall is about more than 31,000 top-grade spirit stones, and I will give you a whole calculation of 30,000, what do you think?"
Lin Yuan couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth: "30,000 top-grade spirit stones? Are you sure you haven't made a mistake about the unit of measurement? Isn't it ten low-grade spirit stones for one catty, even if you have 10,000 catties of this bunch of things, it is only one hundred low-grade spirit stones, and according to the ratio of one thousand to one, it is only one hundred top-grade spirit stones." ”
The old man glared at Lin Yuan, and sighed: "Today is really unfavorable, I met such a strange thing as you......" As he spoke, the old man took out a well-made rod scale and explained to Lin Yuan: "This is the Taishan scale, which can weigh up to 10 million catties of goods, old man, I will let you open your eyes today." ”
The old man stretched out his right hand with some calluses, grabbed a piece of fiery red jade placed on the stall, placed it on the weighing pan, and then pulled the rope, and after pounding, he pointed to the scale on the rope and said to Lin Yuan: "See, this rain rainbow stone is a total of 370,000 catties, that is, 3,700 pieces of superb spirit stones...... Do you need me to tell you anything else, old man?"
Feeling the terrifying energy contained in the fiery red jade in the old man's hand, Lin Yuan knew that what he said was true, the weight of such a small piece of jade was at least 100,000 catties, and the weight of 370,000 catties might be a real number.
"Hangu Pass is worthy of being an ancient city left over from ancient times, such an old man who has a stall on the side of the road can lift a piece of jade of hundreds of thousands of catties so easily, only a strong person in the Divine Domain realm who has condensed the Divine Domain has such the ability to lift weights like light, it is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Lin Yuan was full of emotion in his heart, and he no longer pretended to act, and directly picked three purple-gold stones from the old man's stall: "Please weigh the old man." ”
"Tsk, I didn't expect that although the little guy is a little stupid, his eyes are still quite vicious, these three hydrangeas are a total of 25,000 catties, you can take out 250 top-grade spirit stones and take them away. ”
Hearing this number, which was obviously used to make fun of himself, Lin Yuan was not angry, and with a smile, he took out two hundred and fifty top-grade spirit stones and handed them to the old man, put the three purple-gold stones into the Qiankun bag, and then walked slowly towards the antique area to the north.
Although the three pieces of hydrangeas are by no means as heavy as 25,000 catties, to be precise, they may not even reach 100 catties, after all, this kind of ore is known for its hard texture, but it does not contain much heaven and earth energy, so it naturally does not weigh anywhere. But if it is really called Lin Yuan who has taken a big advantage, you must know that if these three hydrangeas are purchased in the regular chamber of commerce, I am afraid that there will be no 1,000 top-grade spirit stones that will not be able to take them.
After buying three hydrangeas from the old man's stall, Lin Yuan spent 1,700 top-grade spirit stones in the antique area to buy three antiquities, which were a folding fan, a slightly damaged picture scroll, and a crimson ancient mixed metal.
These three antiquities are all entangled with dense causal threads, at least hundreds of thousands of years old, although Lin Yuan does not have much research on antiquities, but he can also guess that these three antiquities must be worth a lot, especially the last crimson mixed metal, faintly emitting a kind of energy fluctuation, can experience hundreds of thousands of years of mixed metal still contains energy, it must be an unusual thing.
In the west of Hangu Pass, there is a branch of the Duobao Chamber of Commerce, which spans four continents, providing practitioners with a variety of goods and the ability to identify treasures - of course, each treasure is identified and a valuable appraisal fee is charged.
Perhaps because the martial arts of the Qin State was about to be launched, and it was also a ten-year conference test, the cultivators gathered towards the imperial capital of the Qin State, which also led to a large number of cultivators from all over the country gathering in Hangu Pass for a while, and the appraisal room where the Duobao Chamber of Commerce provided treasure identification became much busier than usual, and Lin Yuan waited until it was getting dark before waiting for an interview with a senior appraiser.
The senior appraiser of the Duobao Chamber of Commerce will charge one hundred pieces of top-grade spirit stones plus one percent of the value of the treasures for each appraisal of antiquities, and these three antiquities will be charged three hundred pieces of top-grade spirit stones, plus the spirit stones that were spent on Qingxuandan and Qingxuanyu before, if they are gone, these three antiquities are smashed in their hands, then they will be on the verge of bankruptcy.
Lin Yuan first put the folding fan on the appraisal table, and arched his hand at the appraiser in plain clothes: "Please also ask the master to advise me on the origin and value of this thing." ”
The appraiser skillfully took the folding fan, looked at it for a while, and said softly: "This thing should be a thing in the palace during the Apocalypse period of our country, except for the age, there is nothing else special, if you plan to sell it, our Duobao Chamber of Commerce can buy it with seven hundred top-grade spirit stones." ”
Hearing this, Lin Yuan smiled bitterly and nodded, this folding fan was bought at the price of five hundred top-grade spirit stones, and after deducting the appraisal fee, the profit was not even a hundred top-grade spirit stones, but it was not smashed in his hands, although it was a little disappointing to be able to sell at this price, it was acceptable.
After selling the folding fan to the Duobao Chamber of Commerce, Lin Yuan took out the slightly damaged scroll and handed it to the appraiser: "Please take a look at the origin of this object. ”
After taking the scroll, the appraiser looked at the damage on the scroll and frowned, and then with the passage of observation time, the appraiser's expression became more and more serious, after carefully studying for a quarter of an hour, he took out a few scrolls from the appraisal table behind him and compared them, after studying for a long time, the appraiser said with a solemn expression: "This painting is the true work of the painting of everyone's 'Mr. Qingteng', called "Peony Banana Stone Map" If it is intact, it is worth hundreds of thousands of top-grade spirit stones, but unfortunately this painting is a little damaged, and the "Dao" contained in it is incomplete, if it is sold, it is lucky to be able to sell more than 100,000 top-grade spirit stones, if it is worse, it is estimated that it will be seventy or eighty thousand top-grade spirit stones, this painting can be auctioned on your behalf in tomorrow's auction, and will eventually charge one percent of the transaction price as a commission, what do you think?"
Even though Lin Yuan had already made some preparations in his heart, he was still shocked by this huge amount of money, tens of thousands of top-grade spirit stones were already all the savings of a Heart Tribulation Realm cultivator. If you go around the antique area of this Hanguguan every day, maybe you can make up a few million top-grade spirit stones in a month, and then even the legendary life weapon has the hope of buying it, but it's a pity that this kind of thing can be done once or twice, if there are too many times, it is difficult to ensure that it will not be seen by those who have a heart, and if the identity of your bereaved family is exposed, it will be worth the loss.
