At this moment, looking at Qin Fen's appearance, Zheng Boyuan couldn't help but take a few steps back, staring at Qin Fen closely.
As the formula was generated, a golden spell was formed in the void. Qin Fen's expression changed again, and the Demon-Suppressing Seal was already in his hand.
"The Seal of the Demon Subduer, seal it!"
Qin Fen saw the same golden seal on the demon-subduing divine seal in his hand. When the talisman fell on the bronze sword, the golden seal also fell on the sword body.
Two rays of golden light fell, and the demonic energy above them made a slight chirping sound.
Seeing this, Qin Fen put his right index finger to his mouth and bit it gently, and a smear of blood suddenly emerged from his index finger.
Qin Fen's face turned cold and he shouted, "Today I will use the blood of justice to seal away the demons!"
As he spoke, Qin Fen pressed his index finger directly on the hilt of the sword. The demonic energy that was still struggling instantly disappeared. Under his yin and yang eyes, Qin Fen could clearly see that his own blood was rapidly flowing on the bronze inscription.
spread on the sword.
After a moment, a golden spell and a golden seal appeared faintly on the bronze sword.
The entire inner hall was much fresher again, and the air flow was much smoother. Qin Fen looked at the quiet bronze sword with a smile on his lips.
"alright!"
Qin Fen wiped the sweat from his forehead, raised his head and smiled at the stunned Zheng Boyuan.
"Is everything really okay?!" Zheng Boyuan said with lingering fear.
"Haha, it's okay. Now it can only be regarded as a cultural relic from the Warring States Period, with great commercial and archaeological value!"
Qin Fen explained with a smile.
Seeing the confidence on Qin Fen's face, Zheng Boyuan carefully took the bronze sword in his hand and looked at it carefully. It looked no different from before, but it didn't have the magic power that attracted him.
"Haha, Qin Fen, this time I have fully seen your ability. It seems that in the future, you will be a leader in China!" Zheng Boyuan said to Qin Fen with excitement on his face.
"Haha, Mr. Zheng is too modest." Qin Fen said modestly.
"Okay, now that the demonic energy of this bronze sword has been lifted, I will give this bronze inscribed sword to you!" Zheng Boyuan said, placing the bronze inscribed sword in a peach wood box, and then handed it to Qin Fen.
"Uh...that's not okay. This thing is too valuable. I deserve it!" Qin Fen hurriedly excused himself.
"What are you saying?! The so-called sword is given to a hero. Besides, I was really frightened by this thing. When I leave it to you, I feel at ease. And this time you not only saved my life, but also saved me, Yun Gutang
He has such a good reputation that he even accepted Zheng Qian as his apprentice. If I don’t express my gratitude, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to sleep well.”
Zheng Boyuan saw Qin Fen resisting and hurriedly explained to him again.
"Hmm... Well, I will accept this bronze sword. However, this bronze has always been the focus of our country's research, and not many have been unearthed in recent years. I will find a suitable opportunity to hand this thing over to the Antiquities Association.
Well, maybe it will be of great help to us in understanding the history of the Warring States Period." Qin Fen said.
"Well, that's your business, I don't care!" Although Zheng Boyuan said this, in his heart he admired Qin Fen's character even more.
"By the way, Mr. Zheng, tomorrow is the Cultural Heritage Seminar. It is said that many people from all over the country will come this time. Do you plan to participate?!" Qin Fen nodded, then changed the subject and asked.
"Well, I received the invitation. If I have time tomorrow, I will definitely go there!" Zheng Boyuan nodded.
"I really don't want to participate in such boring seminars, but now I have become the vice president of the Cultural Heritage Association inexplicably. I can't help but go!"
Qin Fen said helplessly.
"Haha, you are wrong. It seems that you have never participated in this kind of seminar before!" Zheng Boyuan said with a chuckle when he heard this.
"Oh?!" Qin Fen was stunned and said hurriedly: "I have indeed never participated. You know, I just open a small antique shop. How can I be exposed to things on this level!"
"You are right. Since ancient times, our antique industry has been looked down upon by these official organizations, but when they have something to do, they will go to the antique street to buy and exchange things. This is actually a kind of criticism, but I will tell you today
Come to this cultural seminar."
"It's nothing more than eating and drinking, bragging to each other, and taking a trip to the capital." Qin Fen said helplessly.
"It used to be like this, but this time the State Administration of Cultural Heritage held this seminar, it was not for this purpose." Zheng Boyuan said slightly mysteriously.
"Mr. Zheng, I would like to hear the details!"
“The purpose of this time is communication and interaction!”
"Communication and interaction?!" Qin Fen was stunned.
"Yes, in the past, as you said, it was just a meeting, eating and drinking! But this time it is different. This time, many provincial and municipal cultural associations are included. Each province will send three representatives. They are even local
They are all well-known in China, and their level of treasure appraisal is also evident. On the one hand, they exchange experiences in their respective provinces and cities, and on the other hand, they interact."
"Mr. Zheng, you said this interaction seems to be a competition, right?!" Qin Fen's mind turned and he asked hurriedly.
"Haha, you are right. To put it simply, it is a competition. Those in various fields compete with those in various fields. Moreover, they will bring their own representative cultural relics this time. After the final selection, they will have the opportunity to enter.
It is displayed in the National Museum, which is of great benefit to the local area, and at least the annual financial support is not a small amount."
Zheng Boyuan laughed and said again.
"Hearing what you said, I'm quite interested. It looks like there will be something good to watch tomorrow!" Qin Fen nodded and said.
Zheng Boyuan saw the expectation on Qin Fen's face, and the expression on his face gradually became serious. Seeing this, Qin Fen hurriedly asked: "Mr. Zheng, are you worried about anything?!"
Zheng Boyuan glanced at Qin Fen, and finally said earnestly: "If my guess is correct, I am afraid that many people will challenge you this time, and some will also want to cause trouble for you!"
"Why did Mr. Zheng say this?!" Qin Fen was a little confused.
"Actually, the circle of antiques and relics is big or small. Your reputation during this period has been spread in the circle, and there are many good people who will say that you are worthless and young.
Relying on certain connections to get to the top, etc..." When Zheng Boyuan said this, the expression on his face became more serious.
Qin Fen's brain turned and he instantly understood what Zheng Boyuan meant, and immediately asked: "Mr. Zheng should be talking about Tian Hongwen, right?!"
"Yes, I know this man very well. I have known him for so many years. I shouldn't have said anything more. But he lost to you this time and also lost his position as vice president. This is a fatal blow to him.
So he will definitely try every possible means to make you look bad. In recent years, he has had good relationships with many treasure appraisers and people from cultural relic associations in other provinces, so you must be careful!"
Zheng Boyuan finally told Qin Fen the truth.
Qin Fen saw Zheng Boyuan's expression and knew that the other party was telling the truth. He nodded seriously and said: "Actually, I have also thought about this. Communication and interaction are inevitable without these competitions. When the time comes, I can only try to show off the tricks.
Yes, although I, Qin Fen, will not cause trouble, if trouble comes to me, I will not compromise easily!"
"Well, I know you have the ability, don't worry, I believe that with this opportunity, your name will definitely become a household name!" Zheng Boyuan's face was full of seriousness.
"These are all false. I only hope that one day, I can take back all the treasures China has lost!" Qin Fen said with the same serious face.
"We care about the country. I, Zheng Boyuan, and Yun Gutang will definitely stand by your side!" Zheng Boyuan saw the perseverance on Qin Fen's face, as if remembering the high-spiritedness of his youth, and nodded heavily at the moment.
"Well, thank you very much, Mr. Zheng, but I do have something I would like to ask Mr. Zheng for help with!"
"Say!" Zheng Boyuan said simply.
"I want to open a branch of my Zhengde Zhai in Beijing, but the antique business in Beijing is in deep trouble. If I want to gain a foothold here, there will definitely be a lot of protests, so you see..."
Hearing Qin Fen's words, Zheng Boyuan frowned. In fact, his Zheng family has been in this circle for generations. How could he not know about the things inside? Apart from anything else, once an outsider wanted to visit Liuli Street or other antique streets,
Getting a foothold is almost as difficult as reaching the sky. If you don't open for three days, something will happen, and eventually you'll have to close down.
To put it bluntly, this is actually done secretly by colleagues.
But right now, it's not anyone else but Qin Fen. Even if he doesn't help, Qin Fen wants to gain a foothold in the capital based on his ability.
So, after a moment of silence, he said directly: "Don't worry, I, Yun Gutang, still have some say in Liuli Street, and I will try my best to help you when the time comes!"
In fact, Zheng Boyuan had said the same thing to Qin Fen since they first met, but at first it was just a quick chat, but at this moment, he still had to think more.
"Well, thank you very much, Mr. Zheng. I think with Mr. Zheng's help, I, Zhengde Zhai, will definitely be able to gain a foothold in the capital!" Qin Fen said.
"Okay, if I don't say this, without you, I, Yun Gu Tang, would be finished!"
The two of them smiled at each other and started drinking tea. Half an hour later, Qin Fen left Yungu Hall with the bronze inscribed sword.
Before leaving, Qin Fen told Zheng Qian that he could be with him at the cultural seminar tomorrow. Zheng Qian was so excited when he heard the news that he almost ran.
Qin Fen left Liuli Street, stopped a taxi and rushed directly towards Zhou Ziyuan's company.
As soon as Qin Fen arrived downstairs at the company, Zhou Ziyuan's phone call came in. Qin Fen took one look at it, put the phone down, shook his head with a wry smile, and walked towards the company.
"Qin Fen, how dare you hang up on me!" At this time, Zhou Ziyuan, Shen Anlu and Gu Ruoling were in the office, gritting their teeth and stamping their feet angrily.
"Okay, I guess he is busy now and will be back for you soon." Seeing this, Shen Anlu could only comfort her.
"Hey... who made our beautiful lady Zhou angry?!" At this moment, Qin Fen opened the door and walked in with a strange smile on his face.
"Humph, you big bad guy, you didn't even answer my call!"
"Uh... I'm downstairs at the company right now?! I'll save you some phone bills!" Qin Fen said helplessly.
"Okay, stop talking so much and let me tell you something!
