After breakfast, Ye Chen and Ye Hai went to the famous Antique Street in Luo City together.
The history of Antique Street is almost as long as that of Los Angeles, and the buildings are also the oldest. However, the owners of the shops have changed many times. Of course, most of them inherited the business from their fathers and passed it down from generation to generation.
Walking on the street, Ye Chen was overwhelmed by the products in the shops on both sides.
Ye Hai, who was standing next to him, said: "Antiquities Street is usually accompanied by opportunities. Someone once bought a high-grade spiritual stone that was not visible or exposed for ten taels of silver, and finally resold it to a Baoyuan Realm warrior, earning more than two million.
With two pieces of silver, you will have enough food and clothing for a lifetime."
Ye Chen smiled, he also knew about this. There are four levels of spiritual stones, namely low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade and top-grade. The gap between each grade is very large. Normally, a middle-grade spiritual stone can
In exchange for fifty low-grade spiritual stones, one high-grade spiritual stone can be exchanged for fifty middle-grade spiritual stones. After conversion, one high-grade spiritual stone is equivalent to two thousand five hundred low-grade spiritual stones, which is two hundred and fifty taels of silver.
It is not a problem for ordinary people to live peacefully for ten lifetimes.
"Let's go to Jiudingxuan." Ye Hai pointed to the antique building twenty steps ahead.
Ye Chen nodded. Jiudingxuan is a thousand-year-old store on Antique Street with the widest connections. The nine-legged bronze tripod in the center of the lobby is its signature. At that time, the head of the Ye family wanted to buy it, but was rejected. Later, nothing happened.
It is said that the backstage of Jiudingxuan is so powerful that even the Ye family would think twice about touching it.
After crossing the threshold, no one came to greet us, everyone was busy with their own affairs.
Ye Chen and Ye Hai didn't care and walked in directly.
What comes into view is a huge bronze tripod that is three people high. It is green in color with black in it, round in shape, and has many ancient characters engraved on the surface, many of which are different. There are nine legs supporting it. It looks stable and stable, as if it can hold up.
Tiandingji brings great shock to people's soul.
Ye Chen took a deep breath. The last time he came here was four years ago. At that time, he was not very sensible. He didn't feel much when he saw the Nine-legged Bronze Cauldron. He just felt that it was very powerful. Now when he saw it, his soul seemed to be trembling.
, the lively vitality showed faint signs of stagnation.
He glanced sideways at Ye Hai and saw that he was indifferent. Ye Chen felt strange but did not say anything out loud.
"Let's go to the second floor! The first floor is full of knick-knacks." Ye Chen suggested after looking around casually and seeing no antiques he liked.
"Well, the antiques on the first floor are no different from other antique stores."
The two walked side by side and arrived at the simple and elegant second floor.
Compared with the first floor, there are very few people on the second floor. Including the clerks waiting on the side, there are only fifteen or sixteen people, making it seem extremely empty.
However, those who can go to the second floor are expensive in terms of possessions and furniture. After all, the most common antiques on the second floor cost nearly a thousand taels of silver. As for whether to make money or to accompany them, it all depends on their luck.
"Tsk, these stone figurines must have a history of at least hundreds of years!" Ye Hai was attracted by a stone figurine that was as tall as a person and covered with cracks.
Ye Chen looked at it and lost interest. He separated from Ye Hai and walked to the other side.
At this time, someone had already chosen the ancient object they wanted, but this ancient object surprised Ye Chen.
"Brother, tell your shopkeeper, I want this wooden frame, no matter how much it costs." The man who spoke was a fat man with a rich face, extravagantly dressed clothes, and all his fingers were covered with rings. He looked like he had just arrived.
The newly prosperous wealthy businessmen seem to have no patience.
The clerk was depressed. Why did you ask for the wooden frame on which the antiques were placed? Aren't you trying to embarrass others? He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll ask. Please wait a moment."
"Go back quickly." The fat rich businessman waved his hand and stared at the wooden frame closely, fearing that it would run away.
Ye Chen found it funny, but he, who was always calm, reflected on it again. You can't judge a book by its appearance. There may not be something mysterious about this wooden frame.
After thinking about it, he looked at the wooden frame with all his concentration and released his soul power.
Buzz!
A layer of invisible ripples seemed to bloom in the air, slowly seeping into the wooden frame. He searched meticulously, and Ye Chen could sense any special place.
Hey!
"There is actually a spirit stone inside this wooden frame. The vitality contained in it is dozens of times that of a low-grade spirit stone. From this point of view, it must be a middle-grade spirit stone, equivalent to fifty thousand taels of silver. How did this fat man notice it?
arrived, or maybe he just took a fancy to this wooden frame and had no other thoughts." Ye Chen was surprised, but a mere fifty thousand taels of silver was not worth his temptation. With his current strength, it is easy to make money. Of course,
Spending money is easier.
The shopkeeper of Jiudingxuan hurriedly walked up and said to the fat rich businessman with a smile on his face: "Sir, are you sure you want this wooden frame?"
The fat rich businessman rolled his eyes and said, "Make a price!"
The shopkeeper stretched out a finger and said, "Ten thousand taels."
"Okay, it's very cheap. My father-in-law should like this ancient wooden frame very much." The fat rich businessman took out a thousand-tael gold ticket from the storage ring without even frowning.
"As long as you like it, Xiao Li, help the customer clean up the wooden rack." The shopkeeper accepted the gold ticket and told the clerk on the side.
Ye Chen was speechless for a while. If what the fat man said was true, then he really didn't see the wooden frame as special. It was just used to please his father-in-law. The shopkeeper didn't know where he got this wooden frame from and used it as the second floor.
furnishings, so there is no loss.
It seems that there are so many strange things in Jiudingxuan that they are no longer strange.
Shaking his head, Ye Chen passed by several people.
There are too many antiques on the second floor. There are half-pieces of bronze mirrors covered with patina, dark vases, cloths from unknown ages, and even more damaged armors and weapons, such as chainmails, steel armors, and exquisite items.
Armor, long knives, broken spears, broken swords, bent iron rods, meteor hammers with missing chains, etc.
Releasing his soul power, Ye Chen looked at them one by one, his eyes as calm as water.
In the end, the only thing that caught my eye was the meteor hammer. If it were restored to its original state, its value would not be lower than the sword in Ye Chen's storage ring, but it might be even more valuable.
Unfortunately, the spirit of the incomplete bolas has disappeared, and after thousands of years of erosion, it has lost all its spiritual energy. If you take it back, it can only be used as a decoration or an antique, and you cannot use it. This is something Ye Chen cannot accept.
Putting down the meteor hammer, Ye Chen was about to leave.
Suddenly, his eyes were 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 blade. The surface was dull and unremarkable, and he didn't know how much was hidden deep here.
For years, it was unknown.
Reaching out to pick up the broken sword, Ye Chen observed it for a moment before urging his soul power to penetrate it.
"ha……"
A desolate and majestic laughter rushed straight into Ye Chen's mind. For a moment, Ye Chen seemed to have arrived in ancient times, where the world was in chaos and only laughter could be heard.
"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 detect objects was discovered by Ye Chen not long ago. Unlike mental power, soul power detects deeper than just the surface, otherwise he would not have noticed that there was something inside the wooden frame.
