An Zheng pointed to the pill furnace and said: "Your appraiser's master was wrong, this item is not a piece of jade, it is a white item, the first four items added together are not as valuable as this. In the South Sea, Yellow Pear Wood couldn't withstand fire and water. Thus, there were some pills that couldn't be refined, so they could only be classified as jade products. However, the Yellow Turtle at the cliff of Dongting Lake was different, especially the Yellow Turtle over 500 years old. It was rooted in the water, and its trunk grew along the cracks of the cliff. It was extremely rare. This thing seems to have galactic stripes on it, but if you look carefully, that's a black dot, not a black dot unique to the Yellow Pear Wood. The difference is small, but the difference is huge. "
"There's the Mirror of Samsara on the cliffs of the Dongting Lake, and the reflected sunlight is even stronger than true fire. The broken cliff faces the Mirror of Samsara, so anything that can survive is extraordinary. Huang Bai was also resistant to fire and water, especially after five hundred years. The essence of the tree would appear, so the wood was extremely dense. If this pill furnace was made from Pear Wood, it would at most be seven pounds six taels. If it was Huang Bai's, it would be at least nine pounds nine taels. "
Zhuang Feifei immediately ordered people to fight, and the result caused everyone to be shocked. What An Zheng said, was actually not the slightest bit off. That pill furnace weighed nine pounds, just a little less than ten pounds.
Zhen Zhuangbi's face kept changing, looking at An Zheng with eyes that could devour people.
Zhuang Feifei praised: "Young sir, the consummate skill of listening to sounds and discerning objects is superb."
An Zheng shook his head in silence. He could not be considered an expert in pill refining nor was he particularly familiar with smithing, but no one was more experienced than him in distinguishing the materials used in refining these items. When he had just entered the Ming Fa Si, he was assigned to the warehouse because he was too young. Every day, the amount of treasures collected by the Ming Fa Si was a huge amount. An Zheng was responsible for keeping all these records. He had passed through too many things, these things could not be forgotten. In the warehouse, An Zheng had spent an entire eight years. From the age of fourteen to twenty-two, he had been dealing with all sorts of materials.
Later on, because he was familiar with the materials, he was transferred to the Ming Fa Si's Weapon Workshop to work on forging weapons and armor for the people of the Ming Fa Si. However, the rules of the weapon workshop were strict. An Zheng was only responsible for checking if the materials were up to standard.
He worked at the weapons workshop for another two years. In the past ten years, he had always been meticulous and meticulous with his work. He had spent almost three thousand days and nights thinking about these things, and the knowledge he had regarding these things was most likely much more than those so-called Treasure Appraisal Masters.
Zhuang Feifei did not dare to speak carelessly. Just now, she said that Zhen Zhuangbi was right, and the result was that she blushed a little.
"This last one seems to be Vice Principal Zhen's answer to the same question as our Zaocang's appraiser."
Zhuang Feifei looked at An Zheng, her eyes full of inquiry, meaning was should I say you were wrong?
But An Zheng stood up and slowly walked over to pick up the rose hairpin. Then, he moved over to a small stool and stepped onto it to insert the rose hairpin into Zhuang Feifei's bun. "It's all wrong, only I'm right, so this hairpin will belong to me. It's not good enough for you, but if someone else took it away, no one would be good enough for it. So I wronged you and let it give you some glory. Wearing it on your head raises its value. "
Then he pointed at his face. "What about that kiss?"
Gao Sanduo looked at Du Shoushou and subconsciously sighed: "This is … An expert. "
Chapter 55 - Sherry pill furnaces and rags
Zhen Zhuangbi's face was as ugly as pig's liver. He slammed the table and stood up: What right do you have to say that I was wrong?!
His eyes were dark and cold as he looked at An Zheng: "Forget about this, you are just an orphan on the Nanshan Street. You don't even have enough to eat, how did you obtain this knowledge? I'm afraid that you want to harm my Fantasy City. "I think it's better to get rid of someone as suspicious as you are."
An Zheng didn't look at him, and whispered into Zhuang Feifei's ear: "There is a branch of the Zen Sect in the far west, called the Great Western Region Secret Sect. You must have heard many rumors about the divine edict. Some people were born into poverty. They did not go to school and could not recognize a single word. However, after a sudden illness, he was actually able to recite all of the scriptures, and even recite some of the secrets of the ancient era.
He pointed to his own nose, "I was in the Nanshan Street Academy and was almost beaten to death once. After I fainted, I saw a large hall shining with golden light in the clouds. The door to the great hall was open, and I went in. He discovered that the hall was filled with books. The great hall is so large that I have never seen it before in my life. There's a white-haired old man in the hall. He said that if I can't finish reading all the books in the hall, I'm not allowed to leave. "
"I can't beat him, so I might as well sit down and read a book. Who would have thought that with a glance, he would be able to see ten lines of it? And his memory had become surprisingly good. I felt like I could have read them for years before I finished them all. But when I woke up, I was still in Nanshan Street's school. "
Everyone was stunned, feeling that An Zheng's words were unfathomable.
Gao Sanduo looked at Du Shoushou: "About that … Master An's answer seems to be a little careless. "
However, Du Shoushou did not doubt it at all: "I was there at that time, and after An Zheng woke up there was nothing that he did not know. "Look, even though he said it in a sloppy manner, his attitude was still serious."
Gao Sanduo: "Mn … "That's true, it seems rather serious."
Old Liu could not help but nod, "As for the Great Western Region's Secret Sect, this old one knows a few things as well. The words of the Master An were still believable. Not only in the Great Western Region, but even in the sixteen kingdoms, there were people like the Master An. Back then, when this old one roamed the world, I have seen two people like the Master An.
This Elder Liu seemed to have a very high position. The moment he spoke, everyone else followed suit.
Zhen Zhuangbi was enraged: "How can you believe such bullshit? He's clearly a monster! "
An Zheng said, "Everyone knows that when a demon beast reach a high level, it is only at the peak of the Purple-Rank that heavenly tribulation occurs. Only after passing through heavenly tribulation would one be able to take on human form … If I were a monster, you would have already died hundreds of times. "
Everyone was well aware of the differences between demon beasts and refined beasts. These three types of vicious beasts were extremely difficult to create in human form. One had to withstand heavenly tribulation in order to do so. Once one passes the heavenly tribulation, they would be at least an expert of the Lower Celestial Stage. Since ancient times, there had never been a single beast that could undergo heavenly tribulation and take human form. Of course, even if there were, no one would know. Who could be sure if there were any ferocious beasts amongst the strongest people in the Lower Celestial Stage.
Zhen Zhuangbi choked until he was rendered speechless. After quite a while, he finally said, "Even if what you've said is true, what right do you have to say that my judgement was wrong?"
An Zheng pointed at his own face: "I'll have to trouble First Mr to be faster.
Zhuang Feifei was generous, as she kissed An Zheng on the cheek: "Thank you Master An for the gift."
An Zheng laughed out loud, the way he jumped down from the small stool was actually quite handsome. Everyone present felt inferior, thinking that even though this child wanted to seduce a girl, he had to carry a wood
en stool. His methods were truly brilliant.
An Zheng walked over to the sixth item, and picked it up from the tray: "Vice Principal Zhen gave me an answer about the cinders, to be honest, it is already very impressive for you to give me that answer."
Zhen Zhuangbi said: "That is the cinders pill furnace, it was created by the great monk of the southern region from the censer ten meters outside of the Fa Zen Temple. The ashes of the incense contained the spiritual force of the person wishing for it. In addition, the Spirit Spring Water in the Fa Zen Temple had been fused together with the Great Sun Primordial Fire in order to form this pill furnace. This incense burner can be used to refine White Grade medicinal pills, but it can only be damaged thirty-six times, so it's classified as a lily-white pill. "
An Zheng shook his head: "The story is correct, but this is not a cinders furnace, nor is it a jade."
An Zheng solemnly placed the pill furnace into Zhuang Feifei's hands, then bowed: "Put it away carefully, this is worth respecting."
"What Vice Principal Zhen said about the Pills of Incense Stick at Fa Zen Temple is true, but there is one thing that you don't know." Fa Zen Temple had a monk sweeping the ground. Although he did not know how to cultivate, he was well versed in Buddhist scriptures. Before he died, he made a great wish, saying that he would make twenty cinders out of his own sariras. This was because he knew that even though the censer could be used to concoct pills of the white rank, it would be destroyed thirty-six times over. He swore that he would use the remnants of his body to stabilize the pill furnace and refine even more pills to save the world. "
"As we all know, only after the cremation of the High Monk can there be a sariras. Thus, although many people had respected this monk, they had not believed that it would work. But who would have thought that after the monks from the Fa Zen Temple cremated the monk on the ground, they obtained no more than twenty sariras and built twenty cinders. This was not a story, but something that really happened. "Look at the side of the censer, you can faintly see a bead."
Everyone stood up and looked in front of them. Sure enough, they could vaguely see an irregular protrusion.
"This is the sariras pill furnace."
An Zheng said: "It's a Red Rank pill furnace, even the other pill furnaces in the front add up are much weaker than it. Someone once said that in order to express their respect for the sweeping monk, the sariras pill furnace was classified as a Golden-Rank. However, the Fa Zen Temple did not agree. The Fa Zen Temple's monks said that the people of the Fa Zen Temple did not seek fame or profit. To the monks of the Fa Zen Temple, their reputation was like passing clouds. "Therefore, red goods are red goods. You cannot raise the quality of a pill furnace just because you have respect for a monk sweeping the ground."
Gao Sanduo said solemnly: "A high monk from the Fa Zen Temple deserves a bow."
He really did bend over and bow towards the sariras.
"There are only twenty of them in the world. Although they are red, they have an extraordinary significance. It was best not to sell this pill furnace. It was tainted with a mundane air and let down the elder's hopes before he died. In terms of his ability to refine pills, red rank pills were red rank ones. There was no way for him to refine pills that were above red rank. But when it comes to value... This is a truly priceless treasure. "
An Zheng said: "I wonder how many more people will remain in this world, and whether these Zaocang s will be able to survive. I wonder how many people will come here to worship their names."
Zhuang Feifei nodded: "We will do as Master An says, and seal this pill furnace... "No, in a bit, I will personally arrange for someone to build a magic array to place the pill furnace in the main hall."
An Zheng slightly sighed, though he didn't know why he felt a little lonely. As he walked back to his seat, he could not help but glance at the censer and mutter to himself, "This high monk is only willing to save others, the censer is only the censer."
After the first round of items were determined, Zhuang Feifei was greatly surprised. No one would have thought that she would be able to obtain a White and a Red Rank from the six emerald pill furnaces. An Zheng's insight made her look at him in a new light. Now, she really regretted not keeping An Zheng back then. Compared to the masters of the treasures in Zaocang, An Zheng was much stronger than them.
"Let's stop here for today. We'll have some small programs to entertain everyone with. We'll have to invite everyone here tomorrow to appraise some other things." I will arrange a feast later. If none of you are willing to go, we will stay at Zaocang tonight. "
Zhuang Feifei bent her body slightly, and spoke with an excited tone.
That red ranked sariras could not be sold. In Zhuang Feifei's opinion, that was a loud and clear signboard. With this incense burner, who knows how many people would come here to admire his name. At that time, the value of this item would be pushed to the limit. In order to collect this item, it wasn't impossible for someone to exchange their Golden-Rank for it. Moreover, the unexpected discovery of a White Grade Pill Furnace was already far more valuable than he had expected.
"Bring it here."
An Zheng suddenly stretched out his hand towards Zhuang Feifei: "Give it to me."
Zhuang Feifei asked: "What?"
An Zheng replied: "Reward."
Zhuang Feifei was startled for a moment, and then she smiled charmingly: "You asked me for a kiss just now, and gave me a present. Is your narrow-mindedness hiding some sort of gentleness or philistinism? "
An Zheng said: "Two different things, the reason I gave you this gift was because I wanted to give it to you. The reward is yours, and I want it more. "
"How much do you want?"
"If you auction it using six emerald pill furnaces, you will receive at least two to three million silver taels. If you meet a fated person, it wouldn't be difficult for you to sell it for more than four million silver taels." Now, there is an extra white item, a red item of unlimited value. You should be very clear about how much it is worth. According to the rules, there were a dozen people who came, but I was the only one who appraised the item, so the reward was only to be paid to me. How much should I get for the money I get for appraising treasures in this business? But I am giving face to the First Mr, so we will go along with each other. I will only take 20% of that White Grade Pill Furnace. "
"I'll give you thirty percent."
Zhuang Feifei bent over and the white mountain peak and ravine appeared before An Zheng's eyes, "As long as Master An comes often in the future, any condition is fine."
An Zheng said: "I am not done speaking. If you are willing to return the sariras pill furnace to the Fa Zen Temple, I am afraid it will bring about a great reputation for the Zaocang, and is more worthwhile than exchanging it for a Golden-Rank equipment. But I didn't expect the Zaocang to do that, so I just assumed that it was just me. How about this, if I can find a treasure of Red rank or higher for Zaocang, how about you give me the sariras pill furnace? In the future, if Zaocang needs my help, I will not decline. "
Zhuang Feifei remained silent for a while: "Master An, I can't make a decision regarding this matter, how about letting me have a few days?"
Zhen Zhuangbi said in a strange voice, "If you're lucky and recognized two items, you wouldn't be able to see the depth of the sky and earth, and you even discovered a treasure of a red rank or above. Do you think that your eyes are those of Eye of Nine Incarnations s?"
An Zheng turned around. "Do you know why I didn't use my bell to kill you?"
These words scared Zhen Zhuangbi and forced him to take a step back.
An Zheng said as he enunciated each word clearly, "The reason why I don't need to use the bell to kill you is because I want to kill you in an honorable and honorable manner. "Don't worry, you won't wait very long."
Zhen Zhuangbi actually didn't dare to say anything. In his trance, he actually saw a pair of eyes that were filled with killing intent staring coldly at him from An Zheng's back, causing
him to feel as if he had fallen into an icy cave.
When An Zheng and Du Shoushou left, Zhen Zhuangbi stood there in a daze for a long time without being able to move.
Zhuang Feifei looked at An Zheng's leaving figure with a complicated expression.
"Is it really divine bestowment?"
She said this to herself, but no one heard her.
After An Zheng and Du Shoushou left, Du Shoushou was a little curious: "Why did you want that sariras pill furnace?"
An Zheng said: "Qu Liuxi is kind, so it's best if she can use the pill furnace. Although she has the Qilin steel right now, the quality of the Qilin steel is too strong, so it's not really suitable for her. Furthermore, Qilin steel is only just a white product, so it's a bit low. "
Du Shoushou nodded his head: "That means, that thing is indeed suitable for Xiao Liu'er."
Just as they were talking, the two realised that they had walked to the entrance of Great Mother Ye's pub, and the wine flag was still hung there. An Zheng hesitated for a moment, then rushed up and picked up the flag and rolled it up, "This is the Xiao Qi Dao's item, insert it in his door when you turn around."
As the two of them walked and talked, An Zheng noticed that good old man had sneaked into Du Shoushou's bag again. It was as if he was extremely interested in that small plate.
"That's not right!"
An Zheng suddenly stopped and stared at Du Shoushou's backpack: "good old man isn't interested in that plate, it's that piece of rag!"
Chapter 56 - Him Later
Because they did not know what that rag was, An Zheng and Du Shoushou did not delay and returned back to the Heavenly Awakening Martial Arts Academy. Maybe because everyone had entered the Heaven Defying Seal and An Zheng and Du Shoushou were not there, some people outside noticed that there was no one in the martial arts courtyard, so they came in to look around. An Zheng looked at the messy house and frowned. He released a strong killing intent.
