He placed the Three-legged Golden Toad in the room and began to study it.”Li Fei frowned slightly and gently moved his hand. He felt that the bead did not move at all and was firmly embedded in the golden toad's mouth.
It seemed that in order to take out this pearl, he would have to break the golden toad's mouth.
Li Fei was a little hesitant when he realized this.
At this moment, he suddenly understood why the Three-legged Golden Toad was made of clay and baked until it was half-dry. It was to hide the treasure while the clay was half-soft.
Then, he carved it with a knife to form the shape of a golden toad spitting out pearls.
As long as the Three-legged Golden Toad did not shatter, the treasure hidden inside would be flawless and no one would be able to discover it.
Li Fei still couldn't resist the temptation. He found a fruit knife in the room where the tools were stored and slowly poked and picked at the Three-legged Golden Toad.
The progress was very smooth. After such a long time, the Three-legged Golden Toad's fetus had become very loose and had already turned into mud.
Slowly picking, the mud on the golden toad's body fell off.
Soon, the Three-legged Golden Toad's head was easily cut open by Li Fei, and the pearl in its mouth was successfully taken out.
"Other people kill the goose that laid the golden egg, but in my case, it's like breaking the toad to get the pearl.”Li Fei looked at the Three-legged Golden Toad that he had damaged and laughed at himself.
He first cleaned up the messy ground and carefully studied the round object in his hand with extreme curiosity.
He carefully examined the object taken out from the golden toad's mouth. It was the size of an egg and was slightly oval in shape.
However, this item had just been taken out of the Golden Toad's mouth, and it was still stained with dust. It was a little difficult to hold it in his hand.
Li Fei weighed it for a moment, took some white gauze, and gently wiped the surface of the thing.
Soon, all the mud and stone fragments that were wrapped around the object were cleaned up, revealing the original appearance of the object.
Dragging the round object in his hand, Li Fei examined it carefully and felt a little disappointed.
This was because this item was completely unremarkable. Its grayish-brown color did not have any luster at all.
Touching it with his hand, he felt that it was very rough, even worse than ordinary pebbles.
After looking at it repeatedly, he felt that this thing was very ordinary. The key was that it was a priceless treasure. This made Li Fei even more curious and he wanted to discover the inner meaning of the bead.
The only strange thing about it was that he had yet to figure out what material it was made of.
Metal was definitely impossible. Li Fei could not feel the hardness of the metal in his hand.
If it was a rock, it was slightly lighter and not as heavy as a rock.
It didn't look like a piece of wood because Li Fei had weighed it in his hand. The weight was much heavier than a piece of wood.
It was neither gold, stone, nor wood, nor was it like pearls and jade, which were crystal clear and full of luster.
After studying it for a long time, Li Feizhi knew that the bead was a priceless treasure. As for what was good about it, he was completely confused and could not figure it out.
"Brother, let's go have dinner!" Yiyi shouted from the courtyard.
Li Fei put away the bead and walked out of the door. He saw that the sky had already darkened.
"Okay, let's go eat first and buy some useful items!”
After the two of them finished eating, they drove to the department store and picked out some common items and toiletries.
Li Fei accompanied his sister for a while and picked out a few clothes.
"Brother, these clothes are too expensive. Why don't you buy something cheaper?”Yiyi held it in her hand, and her eyes revealed a very fond expression.
"Yiyi, if you like it, then buy it. I'm considered a nouveau riche now, so I still have this bit of money!”Li Fei said straightforwardly.
"Brother is still the best to me!" Yiyi said happily.
After he returned and arranged the daily necessities, the courtyard house had a little more life.
"Yiyi, go and rest quickly. You've been on the train for a whole day and followed me for so long. You're tired!”Li Fei said with concern.
"Before you go to bed, don't forget to call home to let us know that you're safe. Otherwise, Mom and Dad will be worried about you again!”Li Fei reminded again.
"Yes, yes, I know! I'll call home immediately. Brother, you should rest early too!”Yi Yi said with a smile.
After returning to his room, he took out this gray, unremarkable pearl.
"The golden toad holds a pearl, and the stone hides jade.”Li Fei muttered to himself.
"However, the person who hid it was a little too careful. One layer of protection was not enough, so he added two layers of insurance.”
"If I didn't have the appraisal system, I probably wouldn't have known that this ordinary-looking pearl is a priceless treasure.”
Li Fei thought for a moment. Even if someone broke the Three-legged Golden Toad and saw the pearl inside, they would never know that this pearl was extraordinary and priceless. The most likely thing was to throw it away like trash.
"A pearl covered in dust is the greatest sorrow.”
"Now, let me take off your veil and reveal your true colors!" Li Fei smiled.”
Although he said that, he still had no idea how to restore the pearl itself.
Li Fei decided to start with something simple. He soaked the white gauze in water, wrung it dry, and gently wiped it on the bead.
At this moment, Li Fei noticed that after the bead was soaked in water, its face became even darker.
However, the surface of the bead didn't change much. It was still an inconspicuous brown color.
"Looks like I guessed right. It's indeed a smokescreen. Unfortunately, it's not that easy to break it.”Li Fei frowned slightly, feeling a little helpless.
After thinking for a while, Li Fei hesitated for a moment and gently placed the bead into the cup filled with clear water.
With a thud, the slightly heavy bead immediately sank to the bottom of the cup, splashing bubbles.
It was also at this moment that Li Fei began to observe carefully.
A minute passed, and the bead lay quietly at the bottom of the cup, without any change.
Then, two minutes, three minutes, four minutes passed. In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed, and the bead was still the same.
Li Fei rubbed his sore eyes and felt a little impatient.
However, he didn't take out the pearl from the water and let it continue to soak in the clear water.
He wanted to see if there were any impurities that had not been removed.
Anyway, even if he couldn't identify the material of the bead, it was as hard as jade and stone. It definitely wouldn't be melted by water.
Li Fei stopped staring at the bead. He took out an antique book from his interspatial ring and began to flip through it.
He would occasionally raise his head to see if there were any changes to the pearl.
After reading it a few times, it still looked the same, so he began to immerse himself in the sea of knowledge.
Unknowingly, Li Fei had already finished reading the book. He rubbed his dry eyes and suddenly realized that he was still doing experiments.
He quickly looked at the cup with the bead.
"Oh!"
In an instant, Li Fei realized that the pearl in the water had finally undergone a significant change.
(Thank you, everyone. Happy weekend. Thank you!）
