785 Lucky Charms
The name of Blood-Dripping Lingmu was very unfamiliar to Wang Xiaoxian, and after thinking about it carefully, he still didn't recall any memories related to this name.
"It seems that I am indeed too lonely and unheard, and I still have no impression that you have said your name. Is there any other name for this blood-dripping incense rhombus?"
In fact, not only did Wang Xiaoxian not hear of the blood incense Lingmu, but at this time, Qin Huali, Lu Yahong and others also had puzzled expressions.
Xiao Yao was not surprised at all by everyone's doubts and curiosity, because this blood-dripping fragrant rhombus was a third-level spiritual wood that had gradually become extinct in ancient times.
The reason why this kind of spirit wood that is not very high level gradually became extinct in ancient times is not only because of the scarcity of quantity, but also because the effect of this blood-dripping incense rhombus is too special and the demand is too huge. In ancient times, there was no concept of protecting and cherishing species, so it is not surprising that this kind of cherished spirit wood, which is in great demand, slowly became extinct.
So what is the special role of the blood incense spirit wood?
This role, in fact, Xiao Yao has already pointed out in his words, that is, the role of maintaining appearance and beauty.
According to the different concentrations of the external aura, this blood-dripping fragrant rhombus will condense drops of red jade dew on the surface every once in a while.
The fragrant lingmu bracelet in Xiao Banxia's hand, if it was placed in ancient times, would be able to condense about ten drops of fragrant lingmu red dew every day.
The aura of modern society is thin, and the same Xiangling wood bracelet can play a different effect.
Xiao Yao had already done experiments before, and under normal circumstances, this bracelet would only be able to condense a drop of fragrant rhombus red dew every 10 days or so.
If the external environment is replaced by a cave blessed land like Immortal Palace Villa, the speed at which the bracelet condenses the red dew of Xiangling wood is even faster, and a drop can be condensed about every two days or so.
The condensed Xiangling wood red dew penetrates into the skin, which has a very obvious effect of retaining the appearance and nourishing the skin, so that the wearer's face remains unchanged throughout his life. But if combined with Xiao Yao's other means, Xiao Yao's promise to Xiao Banxia is not difficult to achieve.
Xiao Yao naturally couldn't tell the truth about the efficacy of the blood-dripping fragrant lingmu in public, so he could only say vaguely: "The blood-dripping fragrant lingmu is an extinct species, and everyone has not heard of it, which is normal. Everyone knows that I like to collect weird things, and that's one of my takeaways. Legend has it that long-term wearing of jewelry made of blood-dripping fragrant rhombus can make you look ageless, but whether this legend is true or not remains to be verified. But no matter what the effect is, this is my best wishes, and I think that a happy mood has a certain effect on slowing down the rate of cell aging, and I hope that my good wishes can play this role. ”
"It's a legendary extinct species, so it's no wonder I don't know it. Wang Xiaoxian finally saved a little face, "Regardless of whether the effect of the legend exists or not, the value of this blood-dripping fragrant rhombus bracelet is immeasurable." This bracelet is so beautiful, from the appearance, the material is very similar to some kind of top-grade jade material, if it weren't for Xiao Yao's special explanation, it would be hard for me to believe that the material of this bracelet is actually wooden. ”
If Xiao Yao pretended to cover up, he might be able to hide it from most of the people present, but Tang Zhengshan, Qin Huali and others, who knew him very well, would not think that the legends in his mouth were just legends.
Whether there is a legendary effect or not, it should be well verified. Tang Zhengshan and others believe that Xiao Yao is definitely not the kind of person who talks about it, if it weren't for the fact that he had actually verified the role of the bracelet, he would never say such a big thing in public.
The value of the now extinct and beautiful wooden bracelet is already a very staggering figure, and if the legendary effect is real, its value is really incalculable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is worth even a city.
Xiao Banxia was a little skeptical about the efficacy of the wooden bracelet that her brother said, but it was not suitable for further investigation now, she could only keep the doubts in her heart for the time being and ask in private.
The effect of the blood-dripping fragrant rhombus that Xiao Yao said was too magical, although Xiao Banxia couldn't believe it, but it didn't affect her love for this wooden bracelet in the slightest.
The shape of this wooden bracelet is really beautiful, although it is wooden, but it looks better than the world's top jade, especially the bright color of the bracelet, which is very special, this bright red, Xiao Banxia is the first time to see it.
She held the bracelet in her hand and admired it repeatedly, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.
Seeing that the old lady liked the wooden bracelet he sent, Xiao Yao was of course very happy in his heart, and said hehehe: "This blood-dripping fragrant rhombus bracelet is already yours, you can appreciate it as much as you want to look back, now it's better to put it down for the time being, and see if I prepared the fourth gift for you, do you like it?"
The fourth gift prepared by Xiao Yao was also placed in a relatively small-looking gift box, and from the size of the box, it was known that this must be another small and exquisite item.
Xiao Banxia opened the box, and the items placed inside made her a little puzzled.
She took out the things and looked at them carefully in front of her, and the onlookers also looked at the object in Xiao Banxia's hand.
The object in her hand was an octagonal plaque in a rich green color, engraved with mysterious runes.
She looked at it for a long time, but still couldn't identify the material of this octagonal card.
She couldn't help but say: "The material of this octagonal card looks very special, I think it is a bit like a material, but it doesn't seem to be quite like it." The material of this brand is too transparent, it is definitely not rhino horn, nor does it look like a cow's horn or antelope horn. And the color is still green, as far as I know, there shouldn't be any natural material that is green, right?"
"Miss Xiao, can I get my hands on this brand? I'm an occupational disease, and I always want to identify strange things when I see them. ”
For Wang Xiaoxian's request, Xiao Banxia would definitely not refuse, and generously handed this octagonal card to his hand.
Wang Xiaoxian identified it for a long time, and under the urging of Qin Huali and others, he reluctantly handed back the octagonal card to Xiao Banxia.
He frowned and said, "This octagonal card should be a material, I'm very sure of that." But what kind of material it is, forgive me for being ignorant, and I still haven't been able to distinguish it in the end. ”
Qin Huali and the others were curious, and they all put forward the same requirements as Wang Xiaoxian, and after everyone circulated the octagonal card separately, in the end, no one could identify the materials used in the octagonal card.
"I think let's all stop speculating here, let's just ask the president. The thing was his, and he knew for sure what it was made of and what it did. Tang Zhengshan finally said.
In order to satisfy everyone's curiosity, Xiao Yao explained: "The name of this octagonal plaque is 'Bijiao Lingxi Octagonal Lucky Charm', which is said to increase good luck if worn for a long time, and can bless wearing it without disease and disaster in your life, and everything goes well." ”
"This lucky charm was carved by the chairman himself, right?" Without waiting for Xiao Yao to continue explaining, Qin Huali couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, it's really mine. Xiao Yao did not hide this.
"It turned out that the president made it himself, so this lucky charm must be amazing. As far as I know, there is no material that is the same as the material used in the octagonal card, and this should be some kind of material that has become extinct, right?" Qin Huali continued to ask.
"Yes, the material used to make the lucky charm is the horn of the blue horn. According to legend, the bijiao spirit rhino is a kind of spirit animal in ancient times, this spirit animal was regarded as auspicious by people in ancient times, it is said that as long as you are lucky to see this spirit animal, there will inevitably be lucky things to come. The lucky charm made from the horn of the blue horn rhino is said to be very effective, and can protect the wearer with good luck and everything is free. Xiao Yao's explanation is simple.
After listening to Xiao Yao's simple explanation of the lucky charm, Hao Demao's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help asking: "Such a magical lucky charm, I wonder if it is possible for us to apply for one from you, the president?"
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Chairman Hao. It's very difficult to make lucky charms, even if I only manage to do it. And the material for making the lucky charm must use the horn of the Bijiao Spirit Rhino, but the Bijiao Spirit Rhino has long been extinct, even if I am willing to refine it for everyone, it is in vain without materials. Xiao Yao politely refused.
Xiao Yao knew very well in his heart that as long as he agreed to make lucky charms, Hao Demao would definitely not be stingy with money.
But the cost of making lucky charms is too high, and the difficulty of refining is also very large, unless Hao Demao can come up with the cultivation materials that make him tempted, otherwise, he will definitely not start refining.
Whether it is refining ordinary peace talismans or refining wealth gathering talismans, it is a matter of ease for Xiao Yao. As long as the price paid by the seeker is large enough, he will be willing to help with this with a little more time.
But if someone wanted to ask him to refine a lucky charm, he wouldn't consider it at all.
The horn of the Blue Horn Spirit Rhino that refines the Lucky Charm is itself a very cherished and rare third-level refining material. In today's world, although there are many rich people, no matter how much money they have, they can't buy this kind of material that has become extinct in the world.
Even if he had the horn of the blue horn spirit rhino, if it wasn't for the needs of his loved ones, he would not be willing to start refining it, because refining a lucky charm was too difficult and took too long.
The lucky charm is a special kind of sigil, and the difficulty of refining it is far greater than that of ordinary sigils. Even in ancient times, talisman makers who had the ability to refine lucky charms were rare.
Even Panwu didn't have the ability to refine lucky charms, he just knew how to refine them, although he tried to refine them many times, but none of them succeeded.
Xiao Yao was able to refine successfully, it can be said that he was very lucky, if he hadn't inherited the holy soul that Panwu had spent 3,000 years condensing, he wouldn't have dared to try to refine the lucky charm at all.
Even if he had such a prerequisite as the Holy Soul, his own cultivation realm was still a little too low, and refining the lucky charm was too reluctant. Fortunately, he had cultivated the Heavenly Fortune Divine Technique, and some of the secret techniques could just make up for his lack of cultivation.
He refined this lucky charm for Xiao Banxia, and it took half a month. If it weren't for the needs of his loved ones, he wouldn't have the patience to refine it at all.
Hao Demao just didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity, so he tried to ask, if he could get a positive answer, of course it would be better, even if he was rejected, it would be nothing.
He already knew Xiao Yao's personality and temper, even if Xiao Yao refused very simply, he would not feel embarrassed.
Xiao Banxia was just about to put away this lucky charm, when Mrs. Tang suddenly said: "Banxia, it seems that your brother really has a heart, and the four gifts he gave you should have been prepared a long time ago." Take a look at the "Wedding Photos" that Xiao Yao painted for you and see if you find anything?"
With Mrs. Tang's reminder, the others also turned their eyes to the oil painting painted by Xiao Yao himself.
"Ah, just now my attention was completely attracted by the artistic conception of this painting, and I didn't even notice what I was wearing, it turned out that this painting actually gathered all the four gifts he gave me. Xiao Banxia immediately had a pleasant discovery.
In this oil painting, Xiao Banxia is wearing a white wedding dress, a diamond crown on his head, a bracelet on his wrist is as red as blood, and an octagonal card on his neck is the purest emerald green.
If you don't look closely, it's easy to overlook those accessories of hers. But with Mrs. Tang's reminder, she immediately discovered that the diamond crown she was wearing on her head was the crown of the goddess of wisdom given to her by Xiao Yao. And the red bracelet she wore on her wrist was also a gift from Xiao Yao, whether it was a unique shape or a bright color, it should be the bracelet with blood fragrant rhododium. The octagonal plaque around her neck was even more obvious, exactly the same as the lucky charm she was holding in her hand.
Seeing that the elder sister finally discovered this, Xiao Yao suggested: "I think that if you wear all these pieces of jewelry I gave you on the day you get married, you must be dazzling and become the most beautiful and happiest bride in the world." ”
"Okay, your suggestion is good, I like all these gifts you gave me, and I just put them on my wedding day to show off. "My brother has spent so much energy and so much thought, and the gifts that have been carefully prepared for her, Xiao Banxia will certainly not live up to them.
Xiao Yao's wealth is not an exaggeration to say that it is rich enough to rival the country. He only has Xiao Banxia as an older sister, and the relationship between the two has been very close since childhood, of course, he is not stingy to prepare a rich dowry for her.
In addition to these special gifts on the surface, he also prepared a lot of things for Xiao Banxia in private.
Considering that the elder sister will live in Kyoto in the future, he bought eight storefront houses in Kyoto and gave them to the elder sister to collect rent.
