In a block in the western part of the Yan Jing city, Ye Chen passed through a few alleys and reached an antique street.
Here, there were often some so-called martial artists who set up stalls to show off all kinds of coins, vases, weapons, accessories and other bizarre things.
If it was any other person, it would be hard for them to tell if it was true or false, but for the current Ye Chen, it was all very easy.
Ye Chen walked around the small stall on the roadside, but he only found one or two pieces of Jade Silk that had a thin amount of Qi left in them. Ye Chen went to a small antique shop.
"Little friend, I wonder what you need. Take a look."
Just as he entered, the shop assistant's somewhat professional and polite words were transmitted over.
However, after he had taken a good look at Ye Chen's outfit in a blink of an eye, the look of contempt and disappointment in his eyes had been caught by Ye Chen, and he naturally did not continue to entertain him.
Looking at the dazzling array of shelves filled with all kinds of treasures, he began to carefully inspect each item one by one.
"Tsk, have you come here to broaden your horizons? These things are not things that you can understand. "
The middle-aged shopkeeper at the front desk glanced at Ye Chen. After muttering to himself, he did not bother to pay any more attention to him.
As Ye Chen was looking at the ancient coin on the counter, a disturbance came from the entrance of the shop.
"Yo, Elder Su, what brings you here today?" Quick, invite him in! "
"Little Li, hurry up and arrange something for Elder Su!"
Following the sound of hurried footsteps, a group of people respectfully led a child and an old man through the entrance of the store.
The old man had a head full of white hair and wore a gray tang suit. Along with his strong and aged temperament, he looked like a sage.
Beside him was a seemingly twelve or thirteen year old little girl. Her big, watery eyes blinked as she sized up her surroundings.
"Elder Su, it just so happens that this store brought over a batch of antiques from Jinling a few days ago. There are 5 or so rare items in them, I'll bring them over for you to take a look right now."
The owner of the shop ran all the way in front of Elder Su and greeted him personally, then indicated to the servants behind him that they had brought out many exquisite boxes.
"This is He Tian Yu from the Song Dynasty. He was warm, transparent, and full of spirituality. This jade can be worn on a person's body for a long period of time. It can improve their physique and protect them from harm."
"This is a device excavated from the ruins of a previous dynasty. This item is called the Golden-Striped Dragon Dagger. It is incomparably sharp, and can slice through metal like mud …"
"..."
The shopkeeper continued his introduction, while Elder Su beside him continued to size up the various treasures that were displayed. From time to time, he would stretch out his hand to play with them. It was obvious that he was quite interested in these antiques.
Ye Chen only glanced at it once, and then he stopped looking at it.
Although these items looked like precious treasures from the previous dynasty, they were in fact counterfeit items. From the Qi on it and the material of the item, Ye Chen could almost tell what it was.
"Elder Su, there's also an amazing oddity here. It's a treasure that was personally identified by the Jiangnan generation Feng Shui master, Master Yu!"
The shopkeeper's voice suddenly rose in pitch, attracting the attention of the surrounding people.
The rest of the customers in the shop and the people who were sizing up the treasures on the shelves also shifted their gazes over. Even the servants in the shop curiously looked over.
Master Feng Shui of the Jiangnan generation, Master Yu, was an existence with a bit of a reputation. To be able to be worthy of the word 'master', his abilities were naturally recognized by some people.
Rumor has it that Master Yu was an expert in the profound arts of feng shui and was proficient in strange techniques. He had quite a bit of attainments in appraising treasures and could even modify spirit artifacts.
"What is it? Take it out for me to take a look?"
The little girl at the side seemed especially excited as she called out to the shopkeeper.
Under the shopkeeper's instructions, a simple and unadorned wooden box with engravings on the surface was placed on the table behind him. The box was opened with great care.
Lying inside was a strange looking disk.
This plate was neither round nor square. It had a jet-black luster to it, giving it a metallic luster. The edges of the walls were intertwined with each other in a circle. At the center of the object, faint golden lines gathered together. It was actually an Eight Trigram Formation Diagram.
This is the Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Disk that Grandmaster Yu has under his command. It can change the flow of the spirit energy in the world and gather the spirit energy in the surroundings.
The shopkeeper spoke with great excitement and spittle flying everywhere.
Everyone below the stage let out a wave of exclamations.
One had to know that in the eyes of ordinary people, a spirit disc with such an effect was equivalent to being called a divine tool.
If he could get it, it would be a blessing in disguise!
"I never thought that there would be such a strange item in this place. I've really broadened my horizons by coming here today!"
"That's right. The spirit disks under Grandmaster Jiang-Nan are extremely rare!"
"Standing here, I feel like I've absorbed the Spiritual Energy from this Spirit Board …"
Some people's eyes were red as they sighed with envy, causing the manager to be even more proud of himself.
Especially when he saw Old Man Su focusing his attention on studying this spirit disc, the shopkeeper's expression sank into ecstasy. He spent a huge sum of money a few days ago to buy this spirit disc from a large scale auction just for the sake of offering it to this Elder Su before him.
"Elder Su, this is something that I personally auctioned. It is definitely Master Yu's real product. If you like it …"
The shopkeeper's voice was full of flattery and flattery. Compared to the attitude he had towards Ye Chen before, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.
"Hai."
Ye Chen glanced at it uninterested, while secretly absorbing the Qi from the ancient coins in his hands, he sighed.
Originally, Ye Chen was not very eye-catching here, but because everyone was gathered on the other side of the spirit tablet, this seemingly ordinary teenager seemed to have become special.
"My friend, what do you think? Don't tell me you understand this spirit artifact? "
Old Man Su put down the Spirit Board in his hand and looked towards Ye Chen.
Originally, he would not pay any attention to an ordinary youth, and even more so would not politely ask him about it.
Yet for some reason, as he sized up this young man, he had a feeling that he could not see through him. Faintly, he felt a kind of pressure and deterrence towards him, which could not help but cause Old Man Su's face to sink slightly.
"Elder Su, it seems like he's just a student. He's just spouting nonsense. How would he know anything about spirit artifacts?" I just came to join in on the fun. "
The shopkeeper's face turned cold. He glared at Ye Chen, but when he looked at Elder Su, he immediately recovered his previous respectful and polite look.
He didn't want to let a bunch of nonsense like this ruin his good fortune at this crucial moment.
Hearing his words, Ye Chen still ignored him. He did not have any good impression of this snobbish shopkeeper. Since he was being rude, then he would not blame him for being rude.
Ye Zichen cupped his hands towards Elder Su and spoke calmly.
"Old mister Su wants to hear the truth? After all, I am not like some people here who would blindly think of a spirit disc as a treasure. "
Ye Chen did not show any mercy at all. After he finished his sentence, the atmosphere in the whole place immediately turned silent.
Following that, mocking and furious gazes were shot at the youth.
In terms of prestige, in front of Master Jiang Nan Yu, even the mayor of Yan Jing had to be polite. In terms of appraising treasures, his attainments were the benchmark for the industry. What was this unknown junior worth?
He's still talking nonsense here. He's simply not caring for his own life.
However, in the next moment, some people started to gloat.
Elder Su and that manager who stood here today were not ordinary people. If they were to casually offend him, tsk tsk, a good show was unavoidable. It could only be said that this brat's fate was bad.
"Elder Su, this …"
"Oh? "If you have something to say, just say it, little friend?"
Elder Su's expression turned slightly stern, interrupting the shopkeeper's words of inquiry. Today, he also wanted to see just who this youth, who gave people a strange feeling, was.
"The Eight Trigrams Spirit Gathering Plate is a wondrous treasure that gathers the world's spirit energy through formations and spirit inscriptions, according to the direction of the world's spirit artifacts. This kind of spirit disc is not only able to gather spirit energy, but if it is used properly, it will also have the miraculous effect of eliminating disease and nourishing the body … "
Ye Chen started to introduce himself as if no one was around him. With his previous knowledge and achievements in spirit weapons, it would be a piece of cake for him to solve the problem of a mere Spirit Gathering Board.
However, his tone suddenly changed, and his tone turned incomparably fierce.
"But …" From my point of view, this so-called spiritual disc that is able to gather spiritual energy is just a piece of trash! "
