Hearing Qin Haodong mention the last time he touched porcelain, Fatty Wang said with an embarrassed look: "Dr. Qin, I'm sorry, I was blind last time. I shouldn't have gone to your place to touch porcelain..."
Qin Haodong raised his hand to stop Fatty Wang and said: "You misunderstood me. In fact, we should all be grateful to that mirror. This thing is a magic weapon. It saved me once and just saved your life. If
It would be really difficult to deal with the ghost in you without that mirror."
"Ah?" Fatty Wang looked confused. He didn't expect that the mirror he used to touch porcelain, which he had treated as scrap, could be of such great use.
Qin Haodong said: "Where did that mirror come from? Do you still remember?"
Fatty Wang came back to his senses and said: "In our line of work, we often go from village to town, picking up some leaks from people who don't know anything about antiques. That mirror was sold to us by an old man. I originally thought it was a good one."
It turned out that many experts could not identify what it was, and it was put on display for a long time without being sold, so it was used for porcelain making."
"Can you still find the old man selling mirrors?" Qin Haodong asked unwillingly.
Fatty Wang shook his head, "I can't find him. I met the old man on the road and I don't even know where he lives."
Qin Haodong was disappointed for a while. Originally, he wanted to find the origin of the Yin-Yang Mirror through this clue. Maybe there were other ancient ruins there and he could find opportunities to improve his cultivation. Now it seems that it is impossible.
After calming down, he said to Fatty Wang: "You have been in the antique world for a long time. Do you know who has antiques like tripods? The bigger the better."
"What do you want this thing for?" Fatty Wang whispered in Qin Haodong's ear, "Brother, you saved my brother's life, and he doesn't treat you as an outsider. To tell you the truth, this kind of heavy bronze weapon is controlled by the state.
It's very strict, you can't put it on the table at all, otherwise it will be very troublesome."
Qin Haodong said: "You misunderstood, I don't want to resell, I just want to find something I need."
"That's it!" Fatty Wang said, "To tell you the truth, I have some inventory of bronzes in my hand, but I don't keep them at home. If my brother really needs it, just come with me to have a look, but we brothers have agreed
, If you have something you like, you can take it away, but if you don’t have it, you have to keep it secret for your brother.
Bronze wares are all obvious things that come out of the ground. Although my brother paid for them, he can't let others know about them."
"no problem."
Qin Haodong simply agreed. There were many things like tomb robbing and selling antiques all over China, and it was not something that he, a doctor, could handle. Moreover, Fatty Wang was telling the truth. He did not have the death energy unique to tomb robbers.
At this time, Fatty Wang's wife brought over two bowls of instant noodles. Fatty Wang was also very hungry these days, so he finished the two bowls of noodles in three times, and then left the house with Qin Haodong.
They did not drive Qin Haodong's sports car, but got into an off-road vehicle owned by Fatty Wang. After leaving the city, they went to a small village on the outskirts of the city and drove directly into a dilapidated small courtyard.
There were three dilapidated tile-roofed houses in the yard. Fatty Wang opened the door, took Qin Haodong into the house, and then moved a large water tank in the kitchen to reveal a hole.
The two of them went down into the cave. Fatty Wang groped around the wall for a long time, and then he turned on the light with a snap, and the bottom of the cave suddenly lit up.
Qin Haodong looked around and found that although the entrance to the cave was small, the bottom was very spacious, measuring thirty or forty square meters, and it was very dry.
And right in front of the two people, there were all kinds of bronze vessels, large and small. The big ones included a bronze tripod weighing a hundred kilograms, the small ones included candlesticks, copper coins and other things.
Fatty Wang said: "Brother, all my wealth over the years is here. No matter what you like, just take it."
Qin Haodong looked around and suddenly saw a big tripod in the corner. This tripod was about as tall as a person and looked very strong.
Qin Haodong walked over. Before he could reach the cauldron, he felt a hot breath and faintly smelled the lingering scent of the elixir.
"The medicine cauldron is really a medicine cauldron!"
Qin Haodong felt excited. He had gone through the iron shoes and found nowhere. It took no effort to get it. He didn't expect that he really found a medicine cauldron in Fatty Wang's place.
He walked to the cauldron and inspected it carefully. The cauldron was all dark bronze in color, and there was a calm aura about it. There were nine lifelike dragons drawn on the surface of the cauldron, and the dragon's head happened to be right at the mouth of the cauldron.
, on the bottom of the tripod are carved three characters, Nine Dragons tripod.
Qin Haodong stroked the medicine cauldron and felt ecstatic in his heart. Not only did he find a medicine cauldron, but it was also of excellent quality, only one grade lower than the Medicine King Cauldron he used in the world of cultivation.
"Brother, have you taken a liking to this thing?" Fatty Wang stepped forward and said, "I don't know what kind of material this thing is made of. It's neither copper nor iron. It's obviously so big, but it's not too heavy."
In order to prove it to Qin Haodong, he reached out and picked up the Nine Dragon Cauldron.
Qin Haodong was secretly amused. Ordinary people would not know what a magic weapon was. With the quality of the Nine Dragon Cauldron, it would be a priceless treasure even if it were obtained in the world of cultivation. How could it be made of copper and iron?
He said: "Brother Wang, I want this tripod. How much does it cost? You make a price!"
"Brother, aren't you burying your brother? If it weren't for you, I would have been sent to a mental hospital by that grandson, and my whole life would be over. I just said, no matter which one you like, just take it."
Qin Haodong nodded. Although Fatty Wang lives at the bottom of society, he knows how to repay his kindness and is considered a trustworthy person.
"Brother Wang, do you know where this tripod comes from?"
He has determined that the Nine Dragon Cauldron is a medicinal cauldron used by cultivators to refine medicine. If the origin of the Nine Dragon Cauldron can be found, an ancient ruins may be discovered. If the cave of an ancient monk is found, it will be really developed. The treasures inside will definitely be able to
Let his cultivation level rise to a higher level.
Fatty Wang shook his head and said: "I don't know about this. There is a rule in our business. When buying something, you only pay the price and don't ask about the source. If you ask too many questions, they won't come next time."
"Can you contact the person who sold you something?" Qin Haodong said, "Brother Wang, I want to find where this tripod came from. This is very important to me. As long as you can do this for me, we will be friends in the future.
"
Fatty Wang said: "The person who sold me this cauldron is called Dilong. He specializes in underground work and has always made a living by robbing tombs. I bought many things here from him.
However, although we are old customers, we do not keep contact information with each other. You must know why. If you want to contact Dilong, you can only wait for him to come to me, but it has been almost a month since he last shipped something to me.
, according to his past habit of looking for me, it should be within these few days."
"Brother Wang, please leave my phone number. If Dilong comes, be sure to notify me. Don't worry, I have no other intention. I just want to ask him something."
Fatty Wang patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, brother, your business is my business. When the earth dragon comes, I will definitely notify you as soon as possible."
After agreeing on the medicine cauldron, Qin Haodong walked around the basement again, but did not find anything good.
The two of them took the Nine Dragon Cauldron out of the basement and returned to Fatty Wang's house. Qin Haodong first installed the medicinal cauldron in his car, then found a deserted place and put it directly into the storage ring.
Although today's trip to the antique street did not find the expected ancient ruins, it was quite fruitful to find the Nine Dragon Cauldron, and we also found a clue about the earth dragon.
After getting the Nine Dragon Cauldron, he went to the wholesale market of medicinal materials and carried out a crazy raid, which cost him more than 30 million yuan. There was a lot of space in the storage ring, and his current net worth was extremely rich.
It's better to stock up on more stuff.
The preparations were all done. After dinner, Qin Haodong took the little guy to Dad's Security Company.
Without alerting Nalan Wushuang and Qi Waner, he went directly to the basement warehouse and told Zhang Tieniu to lead people to guard the door and no one was allowed to enter before he came out.
After the last rough stone was processed, the large warehouse seemed empty. The little guy asked: "Daddy, why did you bring me here to play?"
Qin Haodong said: "Dad will do a trick for you first, and then we will play something fun."
After saying this, his mind moved, and the Nine Dragon Cauldron appeared in the center of the warehouse.
"Okay! Okay! Dad is great." The little guy shouted happily, "Daddy, I want to learn tricks from you too."
"You can't learn this now. When Tang Tang grows up, dad will leave it to you." Qin Haodong patted the little guy's face and said, "Tang Tang, let's play a game of refining medicine now, okay?
.”
"Okay, Tang Tang likes playing games the most. Dad will tell Tang Tang how to play."
Qin Haodong opened the fire inlet of the Nine Dragon Cauldron and said to the little guy: "Help dad spit some fire into it."
"Okay!"
After saying this, the little guy opened his mouth and spit out a ball of innate fire into the Nine Dragon Cauldron.
Qin Haodong closed the fire entrance, then took out some of the cheapest medicinal materials and threw them into the Nine Dragon Cauldron, constantly feeling the temperature of the innate fire.
He had never used innate fire before, so he was not familiar with this kind of flame. Not long after, there was a muffled bang in the Nine Dragon Cauldron, and all the liquid medicine that had just melted in the furnace exploded.
Fortunately, Qin Haodong had been making mental preparations and immediately picked up the little guy and stayed away from him.
"It's fun! It's so fun! Dad, are you popping popcorn?"
The little guy didn't know that this was a failure in alchemy, so he clapped his little hands happily.
Qin Haodong cleared the black line on one end of the Nine Dragon Cauldron again, and then said to Tang Tang: "Tang Tang, you can throw less fire this time, just half of the last time."
"Okay, Tang Tang, listen to daddy."
After speaking, the little guy opened his mouth again and spit out a ball of innate fire into the alchemy furnace, but it was half smaller than the last time.
After three more failures, Qin Haodong finally became familiar with the temperature of the innate fire and the use of the Nine Dragon Cauldron.
After the fifth elixir refining, the fragrant elixir was finally released. Qin Haodong stretched out his hand to catch the nine white elixir pills. There was a faint golden elixir pattern on these elixirs.
"Not bad! Really good!"
Qin Haodong was very satisfied. With the innate fire and the Nine Dragon Cauldron, the elixir produced actually had elixir patterns. Although it was still far from the nine elixir patterns of the best elixirs, it was very rare and valuable. In cultivation
In the world, elixirs with elixir patterns are more than ten times more expensive than those without elixir patterns.
"Papa, what is this? It smells so good. Can you give Tangtang one?"
The little guy looked at the elixir in Qin Haodong's hand eagerly, and glistening saliva flowed from the corner of his mouth.
