Chapter 10 - Treasure Collection
Not two days after enrollment, the official classes began, and another roommate in the dorm, Han Xing, returned to the dorm on time.
The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the public.
The day passed calmly, nothing special, Zhao Rui, in addition to classes, every day is to find a secluded location to practice "Eight Desolate Immortal Killing Technique".
In addition, he would sometimes go to the school library to borrow some ancient myths and legends and various historical materials about magic weapons.
The main reason for borrowing these materials is to understand more about cultivation, he had never been exposed to this knowledge before, at most, he went to read cultivation novels.
This morning, he leaned on the side of the bed, is looking at a pile of information dazed, cell phone ringing suddenly rang.
Zhao Rui picked it up and listened, it was Sun Xiaolan calling.
"Xiao Rui, do you have time."
"Yes! What's wrong? Sister Xiaolan?"
"If you have time, go out with me!"
"Where to?" Zhao Rui asked as he rubbed the corner of his forehead a little tiredly.
"The Shuyuan Gate."
"Shuyuan Gate? That's an antique market, what's the point of going there?" Zhao Rui was a little puzzled.
"My mother's birthday next week, I want to buy her some gifts."
"Oh? It's your aunt's birthday! That's a gift to buy. But the Shuyuan door water is very deep, people who do not know the trade is difficult to buy the real thing, and even if you buy the real thing, it is not necessarily worth the price."
Sun Xiaolan said on the other end of the phone, "It's okay, it's okay. I don't have much money on me, and I don't plan to buy any expensive antiques, so I'll spend a little money to find a small thing to make my mother happy.
"Since this is the case ... then okay, I'll be right down, where are you waiting for me?"
"The basketball court."
"Hey, okay, I'll be right there." Zhao Rui agreed and began to change his clothes and put on his shoes.
Today, Saturday, Zhou Wei went to the music school last night to pick up MM, and is still missing. Han Xing and Luo Cheng played CS online with other dormitories until 3:00 or 4:00 a.m., and are still asleep, but he was bored in the dormitory for a few hours reading information, which is really a bit boring.
After meeting with Sun Xiaolan at the basketball court, the two of them went straight out of school and took a car to the Shuyuan Gate.
The Shuyuan Gate is not a door, but a street, with two sides, lined up on both sides, concentrating more than a hundred stores of inscriptions and topiaries, antique paintings and calligraphy, seals and seals, literary treasures, and so on.
The red lacquer lattice doors of the small stores are half open, and the large and small lake pens hang down from the top of the door eaves, with a strong ancient style and charm.
Occasionally, you can also see some sneaky stall hawkers in this street, but once the city police came, they rolled things, wind liu clouds scattered.
Dong'an is an ancient capital, antique trading is unusually red-hot, Shuyuan Gate as the largest antique market in Dong'an City, the open and secret transactions are unknown, can do business here, the three religions and nine streams, are not simple.
It was probably Saturday, plus the street was originally a famous tourist attraction, the narrow street was crowded with people, and the traffic was endless.
Sun Xiaolan happily look here and there, from time to time also ran to the street side of the store, picked some small items to bargain with the boss, but after shopping for most of the day, but ultimately did not buy anything.
"I call this scouting the market." Afraid of Zhao Rui impatience, Sun Xiaolan a serious defense of their own.
Zhao Rui is angry and funny, obviously only a few hundred budget, here can buy things really little, and say what scouting market, in fact, just like shopping well, but, see her so high interest, also not good to poke her.
Before you have time to speak, Sun Xiaolan suddenly reached forward and pointed: "Hey, go to that antique store to see it!"
After saying that, ran past in a flash, Zhao Rui had to smile bitterly and followed behind.
It was a rather grand antique store, three floors of small buildings, inside the decoration, ancient charm of luxury, but not vulgar, a few color Tang suit clerks standing inside.
Zhao Rui looked up at the plaque of this antique store, "set treasure Zhai" three big gold letters reflecting the sunlight, stinging people a little blurry.
"Jibaozhai?"
He thought the name sounded familiar, and suddenly remembered after careful thought, when he was working as a part-time waiter in a bar, he had heard the customers say that the Treasure Shop seems to be the largest antique store in the Shuyuan Gate, which has a history of nearly 20 years. The owner Wu Liang started out by tomb raiding, under a group of highly skilled tomb raiders, in the Shuyuanmen this area of great power, antique store at least half of the antiques from unknown sources, but because he and the Dongan Yun family to climb on the corner of the relationship, so until now also safe as a mountain, nothing has gone wrong.
After twenty years of wealth accumulation, Wu Liang can be said to be quite rich, but he is extremely stingy, every cent, in addition he also has a problem, is not to trust anyone except himself, no matter what to do personally. Doing business with him, not to be pitched is already quite good, to earn a bargain, it is simply more difficult.
Zhao Rui originally wanted to call Sun Xiaolan, but Sun Xiaolan had already run into the store, he had to follow the walk in.
The store clerk saw two people come in, took a look, turned his eyes away, did not go up to greet. In the collection of treasure as a clerk for such a long time, the eyes have long been exercised poisonous incomparable, a glance can distinguish who is to buy things, who does not come over to fool around.
Obviously, the two people who came in now belong to the latter, they do not bother to spend energy to entertain.
Sun Xiaolan is indeed the kind of leisurely stroll, into the store, picking some exquisite antique ornamental.
But Zhao Rui is different, just the moment he stepped into the treasure collection, he noticed that the collection of antiques in the treasure collection, all with a faint aura, and each kind of antiques on the aura is different.
Zhao Rui first felt strange, a careful thought then understood that the vast majority of these antiques are buried in the ground for years, until by chance was unearthed, only to appear in the world. In the underground for a long time to absorb the spirit of heaven and earth, itself will certainly bring a little. And the longer the time buried, the more spiritual energy contained in the antiques.
In addition, those beautifully crafted antiques, cohesion of the wisdom and inspiration of the maker, the spirit contained in the above is also more.
As for those imitation fakes, naturally can not contain any spiritual energy, a glance can be distinguished.
Zhao Rui figured this out, his heart slightly happy, began to think about whether this skill, in the antique store to pick up a leak, take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, completely let themselves out of poverty and prosperity.
However, in the collection of treasure in a round, he realized that the antiques here are quite expensive, there is no room for him to pick up.
Zhao Rui's intention to pick up a leak was suddenly destroyed, could not help but feel disappointed, was about to shout Luo Cheng left, suddenly, he found the glass counter in an inconspicuous corner, placed a small yellow jade plaque.
This piece of jade plate style antique but dull luster, because far away, a moment to see clearly.
Zhao Rui's attention was almost instantly drawn to this jade medal, because, in this jade medal, he faintly felt an extremely powerful aura!
Zhao Rui went to the counter and carefully identified this jade token, and his heart suddenly beat sharply.
This jade token is actually made of earth core jade essence!
The so-called earth core jade essence, refers to the jade mine buried deep underground, after ten thousand years of washing, after absorbing all the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, all the essence gathered in a small piece of spiritual jade.
Hundreds of tons of jade, probably only on such a piece of jade essence!
The earth's core jade essence, condensed with extremely large spiritual energy, has a huge help to cultivators, if absorbed properly, and can even make the strength of cultivators in a short period of time, to get a significant increase!
Zhao Rui was determined to raise his strength to the middle stage of the spirit seizure, this piece of earth core jade essence undoubtedly had an extremely important role for him!
