Chapter 62: A Major Discovery

  Through the intangible penetration of Fengshuiyuan Temple, Yang Ai found a pile of about twenty to thirty worn-out swords in a room inside Qianjian Pavilion.

  They were said to be swords, but in fact they were just some broken copper and iron. At the same time that they were discovered in the Wind Water Source Temple, Yang Ai used his Heaven Eye Technique to see through the heavy obstructions and saw these broken swords. These broken swords were basically no different from the ancient long sword of the Li Tang dynasty in his hand. From its shape, it should be a sword without a scabbard, with a thick layer of rust on its surface. However, the rust was so severe that the shape of the sword could only be vaguely made out.

  Is this a bronze sword? But looking at the rust, is it still worth collecting? Looking at this long sword with a really poor appearance, Yang Ai couldn't help but ask herself.

  However, he immediately thought of the previous bitter bamboo fragrance wooden jewelry box, so he boldly speculated that this sword might also be disguised by someone or time.

  If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have been the one to discover it either.

  "Ah, Old Cao, you sell swords here. Have you received any sword-making materials?" Originally, Old Cao was still wondering why Yang Aifeng suddenly stopped at the door and didn't leave, but now he finally understood after hearing Yang Aifeng's words.

  Of course, little brother, why are you asking? Mr. Cao was particularly curious.

  Mr. Cao, I've been interested in studying antiques since I was young, especially the craftsmanship of these antiques, so I often collect some antique materials for research.

  So that's how it is, little brother. Since you say so, then follow me. I have some items here that can't be repaired anyway. Old Cao didn't suspect anything and led Yang Ai to the room where the broken swords were kept.

  Lin Le'er carried a well-packaged sword box, with a puzzled face following behind the two of them.

  Boss Cao, how are these things sold? As soon as she walked into the room, Yang Aiyue squatted on the ground, picked up these broken knives and swords, and observed them.

  Little brother, these are some irreparable swords that don't have any collectible value, but for scholars who study this kind of thing, they might still be somewhat useful. So we put them here. If someone wants them, we'll also let them go cheaply, it's a win-win situation. Boss Cao explained patiently as he looked at Yang Ai's interested expression.

  That's great, I'll take a look too, if there are suitable ones, I'll buy a few back to study.

  Little brother, if you want, I can give you a few pieces as a friend, said Mr. Cao with a smile.

  That's not necessary, you're doing business and what you earn is yours. Besides, I'm not short of that little money, am I? Yang Aiqian didn't want to owe anyone a favor, so he declined Cao Boss's kind intention. Although his tone was laced with a few smiles, his meaning was very clear - he wouldn't owe someone a favor just because of a small amount of money.

  That's good, little brother, take your time to choose. Hearing this, Old Cao knew that Yang Aiqian was not the kind of person who would take advantage of a small benefit, so he didn't insist anymore.

  "How much is this?" Yang Ai Xian picked out a few items and came to the counter to ask.

  Regardless of size, each item is one thousand yuan.

  Alright, help me pack these few pieces then. Upon hearing that all these broken swords and knives were sold by the piece, Yang Ai had already chosen five pieces of worn-out items including the broken sword he wanted.

  Mr. Cao was delighted to see Yang Ai being so enthusiastic, and he felt happy in his heart. Business doesn't distinguish between big or small, small business has its own joy, as long as it's making money, he's always happy in his heart.

  After Yang Aiqian had selected the goods, Old Cao let someone bring a box to pack them up and then handed them over to Yang Aiqian.

  Got it!

  Seeing Mr. Cao hand over the thing to his own hands, Yang Aiqian excitedly shouted loudly in his heart.

  He took over the thing, pulled out 10,000 yuan in cash from his body and handed it over to Old Cao.

  Mr. Cao smiled and took the money, then handed it over to a cashier standing beside him, and said to Yang Ai: "Little brother, this is not necessary, I think you are a trustworthy person." It has to be said that Mr. Cao's move was indeed quite elegant.

  Ten thousand yuan, for him and Yang Aiqian, is not a large sum of money. He didn't even look at it before handing it over to the cashier, which represented his trust in Yang Aiqian. The reason he acted this way was just to increase his impression on Yang Aiqian's mind. Once Yang Aiqian remembered him, if she had any needs in the future, she would definitely think of his store. Moreover, he also figured out that someone like Yang Aiqian is absolutely not an ordinary person, and who knows when he might need her help in the future.

  Le Er, I should go now. Just as they were about to leave the store, Yang Ai said to Lin Le Er.

  Yang brother, how can I find you in the future? Lin Le'er asked.

  In the future, look for me at No. 166 Beihua Street, Wanbalong District. Yang Aiqian did not conceal his own residence.

  "Yang brother, I'll take my leave first, I'll come visit you when I have time." Lin Le'er said to Yang Ai, holding a sword box in her arms.

  After she finished speaking, she walked towards the outside of Antique Street.

  Watching Lin Le'er's departing figure, Yang Ai lifted the bag containing the jewelry box with her left hand and the bag containing the broken knife and sword with her right hand, then walked outwards.

  Out of the antique street, hailed a car, didn't go anywhere else, and headed straight home.

  As soon as she got home, Yang Ai'er carried things and entered the door.

  "Huh? Lin Li Jie, you're back?" As soon as she entered and went upstairs to the second floor, Yang Ai suddenly found that Lin Li was sitting on the sofa watching TV.

  Seeing Yang Aiwei walking in with something in her hand, Lin Li casually asked: [Boss, what are you carrying?]

  Lin Li, you don't know, I just went to Antique Street and this is the good stuff I dug up. Yang Ai held up what was in her hand and began telling Lin Li about her experience on Antique Street.

  Of course, he didn't mention anything about Tianyan Tong and Fengshui Yuandian.

  Lin Li smiled and asked, "Come on, hurry up and let me see what you've picked up?" From her tone of voice, it was clear that she didn't believe Yang Ai had really found a leak.

  Seeing Lin Li's disbelief, Yang Ai'er took out everything from the two bags, except for a small box made of fragrant bamboo and sandalwood, there were also those broken knives and swords.

  She put these things on the coffee table, Yang Ai handed the jewelry box to Lin Li and said: [Sister Lin Li, take a look first, this is really a good thing.]

  Is it? Let me take a look.

  Taking the jewelry, Lin Li looked left and right, carefully examining it inside and out, then smiled at Yang Ai and said: "Boss, this is what you called a treasure, did you pick up a leak?"

  After Lin Li said so, Yang Ai knew that she must have been unable to see the abnormality on this jewelry box.

  Then Xia Jie explained: [Lin Li, there is a special layer on top that covers the original appearance, so it looks like an ordinary sandalwood box.]

  "Oh, really? Then how did you notice it?" After hearing Yang Ai's words, Lin Li looked again carefully, but still didn't find anything unusual, and asked.

  Do you know what? I'm a genius, there's a way to distinguish it in the book. Yang Aiqian had already thought of a reason.

  If that's really the case, then this box might actually have some secrets. Lin Li knew about Yang Ai's previous mischievous ways, so she believed eight out of ten parts of what Yang Ai said.

  "This is simple, wait a minute, I'll remove the disguise on the jewelry box and you'll know." Yang Aiqian said.

  You'd better be careful, according to what you said, the things in this box might really be treasures. If they get damaged, it'll be troublesome. If you're not confident, I can go find a professional to handle it. Lin Li was somewhat worried about Yang Ai'er, so she proposed this.

  Don't worry about it, this is just a small matter, I can solve it immediately. Yang Aiqian looked very confident.

  The ability of Feng Shui Yuan Dian is not only used to identify treasures, but also can reshape the original appearance of treasures. Of course, the level of treasures that can be reshaped is also closely related to the level of Feng Shui Yuan Dian. The higher the level of Feng Shui Yuan Dian, the higher the level of treasures that can be reshaped. Moreover, the disguise on the bitter bamboo fragrant wooden box is only a very superficial disguise method, and it doesn't have any difficulty at all.
