"County Governor Liu, something…something big has happened!”
After Cui Yi said this, he collapsed on the ground.
It was because he had consumed too much energy in a short period of time, and his blood supply was insufficient.
Liu Zheng was shocked and quickly asked the guard to help Cui Yi up. He then took out a spiritual pill and fed it to Cui Yi.
This was a second-grade Essence Cultivating Pill that could cure most illnesses. Just one pill was worth ten middle-grade spirit stones, and it was extremely precious.
Liu Zheng only had one on him. He had specially bought it in the Holy Capital before he took office and carried it with him as a protective talisman.
In order to obtain the secret of the black gravel as soon as possible, he couldn't care less and directly fed it to Cui Yi.
The effect of the second-grade Essence Cultivating Pill was very powerful. Soon after Cui Yi took it, his eyes regained clarity and his breathing stabilized.
"Cui Lao, are you feeling better?" Liu Zheng asked.”
Cui Yi said slowly,"Thank you for the elixir, County Chief Liu. I have fully recovered."”
"Cui Lao said something big happened just now.”
Seeing that Cui Yi was fine, Liu Zheng pulled back to the main topic.
Cui Yi instantly became very serious and said in a deep voice,""The results of the black gravel that Lord Liu asked me to appraise are out.”
It was indeed this matter!
Liu Zheng's breathing quickened." What's the origin of those black gravel?”
" These black grains of sand are actually dust in the air," Cui Yi said." They've been mixed together in various complicated environments, so we can't tell what they look like anymore. However, we can roughly calculate the age of their existence.”
"Year?" Liu Zheng frowned. Could it be that these black sand grains were very old?”
"Not very long ago, but very long ago. The dust in the innermost layer can even be traced back to 500,000 years ago!”
Cui Yi enunciated each word.
"Five hundred thousand years ago?"
Liu Zheng muttered.
He didn't react for a moment and started counting with his fingers.
That's not right!
After calculating for a while, Liu Zheng suddenly raised his head.
Wasn't this a joke?
"Cui Lao, did you make a mistake? The entire history of the Mysterious Immortal World was only 200,000 years. Where did 500,000 years come from?”
Under normal circumstances, Liu Zheng would never doubt Cui Yi.
After all, Cui Yi's reputation was very high. Back then, he had been an appraiser at the top auction house in the Holy Capital. His reputation had shocked the world for a while, and he had only returned to Black Rock City to retire in his later years.
However, Cui Yi's mistake this time was too ridiculous. He could see through it at a glance.
Liu Zheng couldn't take it anymore.
Cui Yi took a sip of tea and said calmly,""If we include the Mythological Era, we can naturally trace it back to five hundred thousand years ago.”
Liu Zheng was stunned at first, then frowned and said,""Including the Mythological Era? Cui Lao meant that this bronze coffin was a product of the Mythological Era?”
He was a little annoyed and felt that Cui Yi was playing with him.
For 250,000 years, the Mysterious Immortal World did not have any clues about the Mythological Era.
The fact that the Mythological Era no longer existed had long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Now, Cui Yi actually told him that this bronze coffin came from the Mythological Era. Was he bullying him for not being well-educated?
" I know Lord Liu will find it hard to believe," Cui Yi sighed." But those black grains of sand don't lie." In fact, the 500,000 years that I said was just a conservative estimate. After all, the black gravel that fell was only the outermost layer of the bronze coffin. There might be gravel that was even older inside.”
Liu Zheng stared at Cui Yi. After confirming that he was not joking, he was completely speechless.
Cui Yi's meaning was clear. The bronze coffin would only exist for longer than 500,000 years.
This meant that it must be a product of the Mythological Era.
After a long while, Liu Zheng finally reacted. He looked at Cui Yi and said seriously,"Thank you for your appraisal, Cui Lao.”
Cui Yi waved his hand." Lord Liu, you don't have to say anything. I know the severity of the matter. I will definitely keep my mouth shut about the black gravel."”
"This matter is too important. It's good that Cui Lao understands.”
Liu Zheng heaved a sigh of relief.
The severity of this matter had already exceeded his control.
Before the imperial court issued an order to deal with the matter, all he could do was to keep the news confidential.
"This old man has appraised countless treasures in my life, and any one of them is a hundred times more valuable than the black sand. However, this black sand shocked this old man the most!”
Cui Yi couldn't help but feel emotional. Tears welled up in his eyes." To be able to witness the reappearance of the legendary Mythological Era in my twilight years, this old man will die without regrets.”
After saying that, he stood up and slowly walked out.
His body was faintly trembling, as if he was still immersed in a huge shock.
Liu Zheng understood Cui Yi's feelings.
The Mythological Era was filled with mystery, causing countless people to pursue faith.
Until today, there were still many people who believed that the Mythological Era would one day reappear in the human world.
Liu Zheng used to be a staunch atheist, but now he was a little shaken.
The reason was because of the small black gravel in his hand.
Moreover, he was certain that once the truth of the black gravel was exposed, the entire Crimson Firmament Divine Dynasty would be shaken!
After thinking for a moment, Liu Zheng carefully wrapped the black gravel and walked out of the study.
He walked all the way to a secret room in the deepest part of the inner courtyard and pushed the door open.
This secret chamber was empty, with only an ancient mirror standing in the middle.
Liu Zheng walked in front of the mirror and pressed a hand seal on the surface of the mirror. He said in a deep voice,
"The eldest son of the third branch of the Liu family, Liu Zheng, requests to see the family head. He has something to report.”
The head of the Liu Clan was the Prime Minister of the Crimson Firmament Divine Dynasty!
