Chapter 588 Spotted Butterfly

The secret room has five underground floors, which store magical weapons, elixirs, rare miscellaneous items, and ancient books. The bottom floor is a place that Wan Shanhong has prepared for himself through the ages. He has never gone down there.

There are two floors on the ground. The upper floor is Wan Shanhong's boudoir, which he has never been to. The lower floor contains various sundries collected by Wan Shanhong from outside. These things have not been classified and are piled up in a mess. together.

After entering the door, Zhao Ying looked around in surprise, "Where did you find so many weird things?"

"I didn't collect this, this was given to me by someone else," Wu Zhongyuan said, "It's a mysterious woman, generous, right?"

"Why did she give you so many things?" Zhao Ying wondered.

"Excellent men are always favored by women." When there is no pressure, Wu Zhongyuan is not a very serious person.

"She's an old rich woman, right?" Zhao Ying curled her lips in disdain.

"You guessed it right," Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "I have always been curious about this person's age. Logically speaking, she should be very old, but she doesn't look old, and she is only around thirty by visual inspection."

Seeing that there was still a look of contempt on Zhao Ying's face, Wu Zhongyuan had no choice but to tell the truth, "How can a person like me receive favors from others in vain? I gave her a reciprocal gift, or even a gift that exceeded the total value of these things."

"What gift in return?" Zhao Ying tilted her head.

"Martial arts secrets," Wu Zhongyuan said casually, "Let's go, there are no good things here, the good things are all down there."

Wu Zhongyuan took Zhao Ying to the entrance of the underground palace, activated the mechanism, and opened the downward passage.

The first floor was almost emptied out. Most of the black iron weapons were distributed by him to the purple energy masters of the three tribes and the city lords of various cities. The incomplete ones were also moved back and re-melted to create new weapons and distributed them to Huang Yi. For the imperial guards, most of what was left in the stone chamber were copper and iron weapons.

Zhao Ying was very interested in the fire pillar in the stone chamber on the first floor. She waited until Wu Zhongyuan opened the second stone door and called out before walking over and following him to the second floor.

The second floor stores spiritual objects including elixirs. He had taken some of the things here before, and there were still many left. There were elixirs for beauty and beauty, as well as pills for balancing yin and yang and extending life. Wu Zhongyuan since Not stingy, she picked out a handful of each kind for Zhao Ying.

"Let's go, the good stuff is on the third floor." Wu Zhongyuan waved to Zhao Ying.

"What kind of martial arts secrets did you give her?" Zhao Ying asked in confusion. The remaining collections and empty storage shelves showed that the collection here was very rich and could no longer be described as priceless.

"Martial arts secrets that can make you an immortal." Wu Zhongyuan said with a smile. Zhao Ying was not a qi practitioner, so it was difficult for her to believe in things beyond her knowledge.

Zhao Ying was dubious, so she followed Wu Zhongyuan down to the third floor without asking any more questions.

The third floor contained rare artifacts. Zhao Ying had no spiritual energy and could not see at night, so Wu Zhongyuan took the hibiscus magic stick and forced the spiritual energy to produce hot flames.

Zhao Ying was startled by the sudden appearance of flames and instinctively stepped back. The spotted butterfly on her shoulder was also surprised and flapped its wings and flew up.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't take away many things from the third floor, and most of them were still there. Wu Zhongyuan held a fire stick in one hand and raised it up to illuminate, "You can pick whatever you like and take whatever you like."

Zhao Ying turned around and looked around.

"Try not to take too big ones. It will be difficult to carry them when you go back." Wu Zhongyuan walked to the tables on the right, grabbed a few jade bracelets on the table, walked back and put them on Zhao Ying's wrists, "These bracelets are worth the price." One hundred million, do you believe it?”

"What material is this?" Zhao Ying lowered her head and looked at it.

"These two white ones are Hotan mutton-fat jade. Jade materials of this level have been rare since the Song Dynasty," Wu Zhongyuan explained, "Hetian jade has been mined since ancient times.

Until modern times, only a few rivers from the Kunlun Mountains produced high-quality Hetian jade. The output was very rare, and even fewer reached the suet level. Look at this one. The entire outer ring is red. This is The outer shell of the seed material shows that the seed material for polishing the bracelet was originally a regular round shape. The best quality is no longer enough to describe its rarity. It is simply the best. I just underestimated it. Don’t sell it at a loss. This is it. The bracelet alone costs hundreds of millions. "

"Really?" Zhao Ying frowned.

"Of course it's true. What were you doing during the appraisal class?" Wu Zhongyuan asked casually.

"I'm appraising you." Zhao Ying smiled.

Wu Zhongyuan glanced at her and pointed to another bracelet, "This Hetian jade bracelet is also very good. It has fine powder, full oiliness, and its whiteness can reach the highest level. However, it has no skin and cannot prove that it comes from seed material, so The value is greatly reduced, but it’s worth at least a few million.”

"They are both Hetian jade, how come there is such a big difference?" Zhao Ying asked.

"Jade is like a woman. There are judgment standards for body shape, appearance, temperament, and cultivation. Some women are good-looking, but have poor temperament and no cultural background, so their value will not be very high. All factors must be considered comprehensively. , Accurate assessment." Wu Zhongyuan said a little extension here, "Both are Hotan jade, not only produced in my country, but also in Russia and South Korea. Even if they are sent to the appraisal agency, they can issue an official certificate of Hotan jade, but the Hotan jade in Russia The value of jade is much lower than that of my country's Hotan jade, and the quality of Hotan jade produced in South Korea is the worst. Jade bracelets only cost a few hundred yuan each, and pendants only cost dozens of yuan each. The gold-inlaid jade used in shopping malls is used to deceive people. It’s Korean material, so don’t be superstitious about the identification certificate.”

When Wu Zhongyuan said this, he pointed to a blue bracelet, "This bracelet is made of turquoise. It comes from Hubei. Did you see it? There is no iron wire at all. It is perfect. You must know that the turquoise is not very big. And the impurities are generally very heavy. Don’t forget that its ring is smaller than the two Hetian jade bracelets, but it is extremely difficult to obtain. Things of this kind of quality are already expensive and have no market, so I can’t be sure. As for the specific price, it’s priceless if you like it, but the minimum limit is definitely more than six figures.”

When Zhao Ying lowered her head to look at the bracelets, Wu Zhongyuan walked to the other side and grabbed two necklaces, then put them around Zhao Ying's neck without any explanation.

"What is this?" Zhao Ying asked.

"This white one is the inner elixir of a century-old tortoise. There are one hundred in total, which means longevity." Wu Zhongyuan picked up another string. "This black one is cut and polished from dragon horns. Remember, it is a dragon." The horns are not the horns of other animals. Both of these things are orphans and cannot be valued."

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan was still looking around, Zhao Ying hurriedly stopped, "Stop looking, that's enough, that's enough."

"It's okay, these things are of no use to me, and I can't cash them in at this time." Wu Zhongyuan said casually.

"You can use it to reward your officials and the women in your harem." Zhao Ying said.

"I have my own sense of proportion." Wu Zhongyuan picked up a colorful necklace, looked at it and put it back. This was a string of colored glaze beads. Glazed glass has the same properties as modern glass. It was a good thing at this time, but it is not worth it in modern times. what money.

Then he picked up a string of transparent beads, looked at them and put them back. They were crystal beads. The main component of crystal is silica, which is similar to glass and sand. Like obsidian, they are low-grade and cheap jewelry.

"Here is another string of good things." Wu Zhongyuan put another string of red beads on Zhao Ying's neck. "This is the real top-quality red coral. It has become extinct in modern times. All that can be seen on the market are dyed white corals." , or even the cheaper sea willow."

"Only this one? I don't want it, just leave it to her." Zhao Ying wanted to pick it off.

Wu Zhongyuan stretched out his hand to stop him, "She does not, but she has me."

"Are you compensating the loser?" Zhao Ying smiled bitterly.

"I am showing concern for the woman who likes me." Wu Zhongyuan said with a smile.

Zhao Ying sighed and did not continue to pick it.

"Take another look and pick out a few items." Wu Zhongyuan stretched out his hand and pointed.

"That's enough." Zhao Ying was a little depressed.

"Take a look, there are things here that you can't see anywhere else." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Zhao Ying nodded and walked around with Wu Zhongyuan's company. Everything here was listed in a directory. Wu Zhongyuan took the directory back and put it in the Zhongtian Hall. He could look through it when he had nothing to do. If you know anything, if you encounter something rare and valuable, bring it to Zhao Ying.

Not long after, Zhao Ying finished her visit and moved her eyes to the two coffins by the wall.

"The stone coffin contains a woman carved from Tai Sui, and the iron coffin contains the corpse of an immortal." Wu Zhongyuan explained casually.

Zhao Ying originally had no interest in the two coffins, but after hearing Wu Zhongyuan's explanation, she became curious.

Wu Zhongyuan was impressed, so he took her to the sarcophagus and opened the lid for her to look at.

Zhao Ying studied it for a moment, then looked at him with a rather ambiguous look.

"Don't look at me, I like to live." Wu Zhongyuan shook his head repeatedly.

"What does a god look like?" Zhao Ying looked at the iron coffin again.

"Absolutely like ordinary people." Wu Zhongyuan walked up to the iron coffin.

"Aren't all the immortals in legend immortal? How could he die?" Zhao Ying asked curiously.

"Immortals also have souls. This immortal's soul has been destroyed, leaving only the physical body." Wu Zhongyuan opened the heavy coffin lid with one hand.

By the light of the fire stick, Zhao Ying came closer and looked down, "How long has he been dead? Why does he seem to be asleep?"

"When you reach the immortal level, your physical body can exist forever," Wu Zhongyuan said. "As far as I know, this person died thousands of years ago, even longer than the Great War."

"How did he die?" Zhao Ying asked again.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "I don't know."

While the two were talking, the spotted butterfly flew from the side, its wings were burned off by the flames of the fire stick, and it fell down and died.

"How do you know..." Zhao Ying suddenly took a breath of cold air when she said this, and turned her head in surprise.

While Zhao Ying turned her head in shock, Wu Zhongyuan also let go of his hands in shock, the coffin lid fell and the iron coffin closed.

"What did you see?" Wu Zhongyuan asked with a frown.

"He opened his eyes..."
