As he walked to the table, he said to Minister Jin," Although my grandfather was agitated and delirious, he was born into a noble family and was once an official of the Prime Minister. There are countless treasures in his house. I believe in his judgment.”
Minister Jin was stunned. Could it be that his family heirloom was really fake?
That's impossible, right? That was passed down from generation to generation in their family. It had been passed down for more than two hundred years.
Feng Wuchen came before the debris on the ground.
He had just squatted down when a shadow enveloped him.
He looked up and saw Qingli walking towards him.
"You also want to see if this coral is real or fake.”
His slender fingers picked up a few pieces of the red coral tree and handed them to Qingli, saving her the trouble of bending over.
Qingli took it. This guy was quite considerate sometimes.
Feng Wuchen examined the pile of debris for a moment and said," My grandfather didn't lie. This red coral tree is indeed fake.”
When he heard from Minister Jin that the red coral tree had blood flowing under the sun, he suspected that it was fake.
Now, after checking, he confirmed his guess.
However, Qingli shook her head." No, it's real.”
Feng Wuchen glanced at her and smiled." You must not know how to tell if corals are real or not. It's not necessarily true just because they're beautiful.”
Qingli raised her eyebrows. As a dragon lady who had lived in the sea for thousands of years, she still did not know how to identify sea corals.
Feng Wuchen picked up a few pieces and placed them on the table. He patiently explained to Qingli," In the palace, there are three ways to determine the authenticity of coral ornaments.
”
He pointed at the cross-section of a fragment for Qingli to see.
"First, look at the growth rings.
Coral trees were like trees. After a tree was split horizontally, there would be circular growth patterns, which were their growth rings. It was the same for coral trees. Real coral trees would have circular patterns, but the coral trees of the Jin family did not.”
Feng Wuchen picked up another fragment.
"Secondly, look at the color."
The real red coral tree was light in color and dark in color. It gradually changed, just like a tree.
From the cross-section of the tree, we can see that the color inside is lighter than the color of the bark, and so is the coral.
However, the color of the coral trees of the Jin family was even, and the inside and outside were one. It was obviously fake.
Feng Wuchen handed Qingli a piece of red coral to test its weight.
"Third, look at the weight."
Although the red coral was delicate in color, it had been deposited at the bottom of the sea for thousands of years. It actually had a rather heavy feeling.
Try the red coral of the Jin family. It's a little lighter. It's obviously wrong.
Qingli took the coral and tossed it around.
She raised her head and looked at Feng Wuchen, whose eyes were dark and handsome. Her thin lips curled up slightly.
"Your Highness, your judgment is correct. It is indeed as you and your grandfather said, there is something wrong with this red coral. However, the problem is not that it is a fake, but that it is a priceless treasure that is even more precious than the red coral tree.”
Feng Wuchen looked surprised." What did you say?”
Qingli whispered into his ear," This is not a red coral tree, but a blood coral.”
Feng Wuchen sized her up." You're not making this up, are you? I've lived in the palace for twenty years and have never heard of any blood coral.”
Qingli smiled.
He had just given her some knowledge about the mortal world. Now, it was time for her, the dragon lady, to give him knowledge that was beyond the imagination of mortals.
She said," The red coral tree is formed by the condensation of thousands of small coral, while the blood coral is formed by the condensation of the giant king of the coral alone.
The red coral tree could only be used as an ornamental product, but if the essence of the blood coral could be extracted, its blood marrow could cure all diseases.”
She glanced at the old man hiding behind Feng Wuchen." For example, the blood marrow can cure this old man's madness.”
Feng Wuchen subconsciously grabbed the blood coral in his hand, breathing heavily.
Qingli then looked at Minister Jin, who was covered in bruises not far away." It can also cure Minister Jin's infertile illness and let him carry a fat son.”
When Minister Jin heard this, he was so excited that he didn't care about his injuries. He struggled to get up and staggered over.
As he walked, he shouted excitedly," Miss, Miss, what you said is true.”
He had seen many doctors over the years, and every doctor said that he had a problem with his body and could not have children in this life.
At first, he didn't believe it, but after so many years of disappointment, he had no choice but to recognize the reality.
The Jin family wanted to cut off their descendants here.
He wanted to become a sinner of the Jin family, and even if he died, he wouldn't be able to face his ancestors.
It was precisely because this family heirloom had no descendants who could continue to pass it down that he intended to present the treasure to the magistrate, hoping that the magistrate could introduce him to the imperial physician in the palace.
He didn't expect that he didn't need to find a doctor. The medicine to treat his hidden illness was in his house.
He came before Qingli and asked excitedly," Miss, since you know that this is a blood coral, you should know how to refine the blood marrow inside, right?"”
Qingli nodded." Of course I know. Besides, I'm the only one in the world who can refine it.”
Qingli raised the blood coral fragment in her hand and pointed at the flowing blood in the sun.
"This is the blood marrow."
"You can see that it has fused with the blood coral. Whether you smash the coral or burn it, it will always be one with the coral. You can't take it out.”
Minister Jin nodded repeatedly, naturally believing her words.
Didn't you see that the coral had fallen to such a state just now, but not a single drop of blood essence flowed out?
It would definitely be extremely difficult to extract the things inside.
He plopped down on his knees and begged," Please help me, Miss. I'm willing to pay you a large sum of money."
Qingli curled her lips." There's no need for a huge reward. This blood coral can extract three portions of blood marrow. I want to take one of them as a reward.”
Minister Jin stiffened.
He naturally wanted to take all of these priceless treasures.
But if he didn't give this girl a portion, she wouldn't help him refine it. He wouldn't even get one portion, let alone three.
He thought for a full 15 minutes before gritting his teeth and agreeing." Alright, I agree."”
Seeing that he had agreed, Qingli turned to Feng Wuchen and smiled." I'll give you mine."”
Feng Wuchen looked at Qingli in shock.
She gave it to him.
They didn't know each other before yesterday, so why did she help him?
She had a mysterious background and was omnipotent. When he pulled out his knife and stabbed her yesterday, she could have easily pinched him to death. However, not only did she repeatedly tolerate his offense, but she also wanted to be kind to him at this moment. Why?
It was just for the cooperation she had mentioned, for him to tell her about some major events that had happened in her previous life so that she could accumulate merit.
No, she was so mysterious, so powerful, and so knowledgeable. Even if she didn't cooperate with him, she could still kill everywhere to earn merit.
Feng Wuchen's gaze suddenly fell on her abdomen.
Could it be that she was being nice to him now because of the freak in her stomach?
He suppressed his thoughts and cupped his hands in thanks." Thank you.”
Qingli smiled and shook her head." There's no need to thank me. We have a deep relationship. It's only right."”
Feng Wuchen looked at her deeply.
She gave birth to her child and said that they had a deep relationship.
Unless she wanted to trick him into having a child with her and raising a child with her.
Qingli turned to Minister Jin and said," Give me an empty room. Get someone to send these coral fragments into the room and get a small jade bottle made of green jade to store the blood marrow.”
She extended her pinky." The blood marrow is only this long. A small jade bottle will do.”
Minister Jin quickly sent someone to vacate the room and invited Qingli to sit down. He also sent someone to carefully pick up the pieces of blood coral. He himself limped to the storeroom to retrieve the jade bottle.
Half an hour later, everything was delivered to Qingli.
She asked the others to leave, leaving only her and the little mouse in her sleeve in the room.
The little rat squeaked," Lord Dragon God, you're too straightforward. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't tell them that this is blood coral. I'll just silently admit that this is a fake. I'll just take a few hundred taels of silver and buy this pile of fragments. When the time comes, I'll extract the blood marrow and sell it for hundreds of thousands of taels of gold.”
Qingli answered the little mouse as she walked towards the basket of blood coral fragments.
"Why would I use something that belongs to someone else? It's just a few drops of blood marrow and a few hundred thousand taels of gold. It's not worth it for me to go against my morals and let my conscience be stained with dust.”
The little mouse thought about it and agreed. The Dragon God was so powerful, so why would he care about such a small thing?
Qingli's palm was suspended above the blood coral fragment, and she gathered the demonic power in her body into her palm.
Her palm was glowing, as if there was a huge gravitational force, attracting traces of blood from the blood coral.
Traces of blood merged into one in the white light on her palm. Soon, it turned from the size of a soybean to the size of a broad bean, and finally to the size of a pigeon's egg.
She drew a line with her fingers and divided the blood marrow the size of a pigeon egg into three parts.
One of them was put into a small jade bottle, and the other two were wrapped in her demonic power. She held them gently in her palm and walked to the door to open it.
She saw Minister Jin pacing back and forth outside the door and Feng Wuchen, who was also waiting. She nodded at Feng Wuchen and walked to Minister Jin first.
Minister Jin took two steps forward excitedly." Miss, it's done."”
Qingli opened her palm. Two drops of blood-red round beads were spinning in her palm. Every time they spun, they would emit a star-like light, which was especially beautiful.
Seeing these two drops of blood marrow, no one would doubt that it had the ability to cure all diseases.
Qingli said to Minister Jin," Minister Jin, do you want to take it yourself first, or do you want to see the old man take it first to confirm the effect before trying it out?"”
Minister Jin's excited heart calmed down a little.
He still cherished his life.
He bowed respectfully to Feng Wuchen." The old man is the grandfather of His Royal Highness. Naturally, the old man should go first.”
Feng Wuchen snorted coldly, not exposing his thoughts.
He believed in Qingli.
If Qingli wanted to harm people, she would not have to go through so much trouble.
He pulled his grandfather, who was hiding behind him and secretly pulling his hair, to the front.
His grandfather was shocked and immediately hid his hand behind his back. His eyes darted around, but he didn't dare to look at him guiltily." I didn't pull Chen 'er's hair. No, I really didn't."”
"Alright, I didn't pull his hair. I know grandfather wouldn't bully Chen 'er.”
He smiled gently and coaxed the old man like he was coaxing a child.
"Grandfather, did you brush your teeth today?”
