"Young Master Yin, this is the biggest antique shop in Chang 'an City-Present and Past Pavilion!”
After leaving the Culinary God's Residence, Li Zhaoyang, who was leading Yin Tian around, naturally had some antique shops.
Famous people's calligraphy, bronze porcelain, or ancient jade…
Inside, there was a dazzling array of antiques, which was an eye-opener.
Moreover, these things were not fakes. Most of them were authentic.
The craftsmanship of ancient forgery had not yet reached the peak of the later generation, not to mention that it was the number one antique shop in Chang 'an. The boss would not destroy his own signboard.
This wasn't money in the future, swindling and swindling.
The teachings of Confucius and Mencius, the way of benevolence and righteousness!
Moreover, to be able to open an antique shop in such a prosperous place, one had to have an orderly inheritance.
Here, reputation was as important as money.
They swindled and swindled, but they were all small shops.
People's lives were difficult, so they naturally ignored credibility.
The big shops didn't care about the small profits. At least, the profits from the fraud had to be truly tempting.
However, Yin Tian had seen all kinds of rare treasures in the Imperial Sword Manor. He no longer had the mentality of the future. Looking at these things was at most admiration.
If he liked it, he could just buy it.
Furthermore, Yin Tian had followed the hint because the Heavenly Book had opened again.
In the past ten years, he had only been reminded three times. Now, in less than three months after he came out, three opportunities had arrived.
Among them, Yin Tian was trapped in the Lingyun Cave for two months.
On the contrary, when the old shopkeeper saw Lady Li's daughter Zhao Yang, he quickly stood up to welcome her with a smile, neither servile nor overbearing.
"So it's Miss Li. Who is this young master?”
The old shopkeeper knew the head of the Li family. He had only met Li Zhaoyang a few times.
At this moment, Li Zhaoyang came with a young man. He was already clear about the order of the guests. The old shopkeeper naturally knew who was the guest.
"This is Young Master Yin. He likes antiques. Old Master Li, Young Master Yin is not someone who lacks money, nor is he someone who pretends to be an artsy person. If he has something good, he will not let you down.”
Upon hearing Li Zhaoyang's introduction, the old shopkeeper looked at Yin Tian, who was dressed like a young master from an aristocratic family, and quickly smiled."
"I wonder what Young Master Yin likes? Present and Past Pavilion was a century-old shop, so they still had some stock.”
"I didn't prepare much for this trip. I wonder if there are any ancient jades and ancient books in the shop.”
"Ancient jade? There is. Please wait a moment, Young Master!"
The shopkeeper knew that this was a big business deal.
Regardless of whether it worked or not, they had to be fully prepared. Otherwise, just the noble daughter of the Li family was not someone he could afford to offend.
Not long after, the shopkeeper had already taken out a pile of expensive ancient jade and ancient books.
More than a dozen items were placed in front of him. The old shopkeeper pointed to a gorgeous Spring and Autumn Jade Wall and introduced,
" Young Master Yin, Miss Li, this is a Spring and Autumn Jade Wall. The material was taken from Mount Kun. The quality of the jade is excellent, and it is decorated with the unique cloud and thunder patterns of the Spring and Autumn Period…"
"Old Master Li, this Young Master Yin is a big shot. He doesn't need such a detailed introduction.”
Li Zhaoyang looked at the old shopkeeper. Although he was polite, his unquestionable tone made the old shopkeeper's expression freeze. At the same time, he looked curiously at Yin Tian, who had an indifferent expression.
In the end, the old shopkeeper was just a small businessman.
As a noble daughter of the Li family, she was as noble as a princess in Chang 'an.
At this moment, Yin Tian also swept past a pile of Spring and Autumn ancient jade. He had quite a lot of these things, and all of them were fine.
The things that the old shopkeeper took out were all of high quality, but Yin Tian did not care at all.
In the end, these things that even those big families who were pretentious would not take a fancy to, how could Yin Tian take a fancy to them?
However, Yin Tian looked at a piece of jade. It looked like a tiger talisman. The patterns on it were also inscriptions and beast patterns from the Spring and Autumn Period.
"This is also a piece of Spring and Autumn ancient jade, but the style is a little strange. It should be a game made by a noble during the Spring and Autumn period!”
"This isn't Spring Autumn Ancient Jade, it's Han Jade!”
Yin Tian looked at the jade talisman and shook his head. He glanced at the old shopkeeper and said,"
"Although the patterns on it are unique to the Spring and Autumn Period, I've seen records of this ancient jade in ancient books. This is really a piece of Han jade, and there's more than one.”
" Records, I don't know..."
"I can't say!"
Yin Tian glanced at the curious old shopkeeper and took out a large banknote and placed it on the table.
"Regardless of whether it's Han jade or Spring and Autumn jade, with this red sandalwood box from the previous dynasty, I think this silver note should be enough. What does the old master think?”
As he spoke, Yin Tian took a box from the surrounding rack and placed it beside the jade talisman.
The old shopkeeper glanced sideways. This box was made of high-quality rosewood. It was square and simple.
If it was said to be extraordinary, it was only decorated with Sanskrit carvings on the side. On the front was a symbol that they did not recognize. It could only be something from India.
The silver notes that Yin Tian placed on the table were ten thousand taels of silver from the Datong money house.
"These two items are only worth a thousand taels on the surface. Why would Young Master want to buy these? Of course, if Young Master doesn't want to say it, I won't force it.”
Without batting an eyelid, the old shopkeeper had already put the silver notes into his sleeve.
Firstly, the price that Yin Tian offered had already exceeded the base price in his heart. There was no reason not to close the deal.
Secondly, after accepting the silver notes, these two things would be Yin Tian's. Naturally, Yin Tian did not have to hide anything, giving him the opportunity to raise the price.
"Actually, there's nothing to hide. I said that this jade talisman is Han jade because I've read about it in an ancient book.
This jade talisman was a keepsake left behind by Marquis Zhuge. There were a total of eight of them. It was said that when all eight of them were gathered, they could open a secret treasure left behind by Marquis Zhuge.
Back then, these eight jade talismans were given to his eight trusted aides before Wu Hou died. After that, the whereabouts of these eight people were unknown, and even the news of the jade talismans sank into the sea.”
"Marquis Zhuge? Could it be someone from Shu?"
"Not bad!"
Yin Tian nodded. Even Li Zhaoyang could not help but gasp.
Which one of them was a legend of the Nine Provinces? The secret treasures he left behind, not to mention the possible inheritance, just the hidden secret treasures would make countless people flock to him.
The original 10,000 taels of silver instantly became 10,000 taels of gold!
Moreover, before the treasure was taken out, there was no upper limit to its value.
If the old shopkeeper had known the origin of this treasure, he would not have taken it out.
But now, even if the old shopkeeper was already regretting it, there was no possibility of taking it back, nor did he dare to take it back.
Not to mention Yin Tian's unknown identity, even if Li Zhaoyang knew, he would not have the ability to keep this treasure.
An ordinary man was innocent, but he was guilty of holding a treasure!
The old shopkeeper understood this simple logic.
In the end, he was just a commoner.
"As for this box, although it's empty, I've seen the markings on it in the ancient records.
Hundreds of years ago, there were two peerless experts who were enemies with each other. They had a grudge and a dispute for a hundred years. In their later years, the two of them each created a supreme ultimate art-the Buddha's Palm and the Heaven-Destroying Divine Art.
And this box was the mark of the birth of the Buddha's Palm back then. It had once caused a bloody battle in the Nine Provinces.
He didn't expect that the box would appear here after the Buddha's Palm died out.”
It was another big secret, and two things appeared at once. Even Li Zhaoyang was shocked.
Coincidence or chance?
After all, there were eight jade talismans and only one at the moment.
The box that contained the Tathagata Divine Palm was just an empty box.
