Arcane brilliance, shining forever

Chapter 329 Inquiring Jade
The first gleam of the early sun pierced through the early morning mist, seeming to wake up the sleeping city at once.

On the top floor of the hotel, Lando performed a set of punches slowly, without strong wind or vision, just like the health-preserving punches of the old man in the park.

The fact is exactly the same, this is a set of health-preserving boxing techniques, but it is different from the ordinary versions on the market, this is a set of health-preserving boxing techniques created by Lando by combining all the martial arts he has been exposed to so far. It can also quickly awaken the qi and blood of the whole body to make it active and improve the efficiency of cultivation.

When Lando came downstairs after exercising, Hou Tianhua and Shui Wenjin were already feasting. Although Hou Tianhua's cooking skills were not bad, he couldn't hold back barbecue and stewed meat every day!
The three of them were already tired of eating those things outside.

So every time they come to the city, they will enter a short starvation state.

Lando and Shui Wenjin are better, the former has strong self-control, the latter is a girl after all, she still pays more attention to her image in front of people, Hou Tianhua doesn't care about that, every time she fully interprets what is meant by 'informal'!
When they were full of wine and food, the three of them left the hotel and prepared to go to the agreed place.

As soon as they went downstairs, they saw a young and beautiful girl who was already waiting for them downstairs.

"Brother Tianhua! Brother Lan! Sister Shui!" The girl smiled sweetly when she saw the three of them.

When Hou Tianhua saw the person coming, he looked around for a while, and then said suspiciously: "Tianqing, are you alone? Where's Cousin Tiansheng?"

The person who came was Hou Tianqing, and Lando and the others also knew each other. This girl had been with Hou Tiansheng yesterday.

Hou Tianqing smiled and said: "Brother Tiansheng is unwell, let me take him to apologize, let me accompany you today." Then he pouted and said: "Brother Tianhua will not be dissatisfied!"

Hou Tianhua laughed and said, "How come! But cousin Tiansheng was fine yesterday, it's strange!"

Hou Tianqing also said with some doubts: "It is said that there is something wrong in the cultivation, and it looks like it needs to be adjusted for a period of time."

Hou Tianhua said regretfully: "Oh, then there is no other way. I wanted to go and see him."

If it was just that he was ill, he would naturally need to visit him, but since it was a closed-door adjustment, he could just forget it.

Lando listened quietly and did not speak. Thinking of the ferocious aura emanating from somewhere in the city last night, and the faint emotions emanating from Hou Tiansheng during the contact yesterday, he has roughly guessed, but these are also It has nothing to do with him so I don't bother to bother.

Hou Tianqing waved his hands and said with a smile: "Let me take you to have a good time today, don't look at me like this, I claim to be a PHS! Just listen to me!"

The three of Lando naturally didn't care. Although Hou Tianhua lived in Shangdu for a long time when he was a child, he was too young to run around, and he was mostly active around the old houses on the outskirts of the city, so he was really not familiar with Shangdu.

Next, the four of them started to play in Shangdu. All kinds of delicious snacks must be indispensable, and the ancient buildings with historical accumulation are also worth seeing.

Of course, when it comes to Shangdu, the jade industry is naturally indispensable. When Hou Tianqing brought the three of them to the famous jade street in Shangdu, he immediately said very generously that the three of them could take whatever they liked!Anyway, the family pays.

Looking at the dazzling variety of jade stones, Lando pondered for a moment and said, "Miss Hou, I don't know..."

Before Lando could finish speaking, Hou Tianqing interrupted with a wave of his hand: "Brother Lan, just call me Tianqing, it's too natural for a girl to wait!"

Lando smiled and said, "Okay, Tianqing, I don't know where I can do jade appraisal here. I have a jade pendant and I want to know its specific origin."

Lando was naturally talking about the jade pendant he was carrying. When he learned that Shangdu jade was famous all over the world, he thought that if he could get some relevant information here, he might have a chance to figure out his life experience in this life.

There is too little information about this life that he currently knows, only some scattered pictures from his infancy. After all, you can't expect a newborn baby to be able to remember a large section of complete plots and dialogues, right?

As far as he knows these things, he found them through Xiaohui's search for the memories in the depths of his mind.

Ran Duo had paid a little attention to the jade pendant that he and Lan Yue carried before, except for the pattern and the engraved word 'Lan', there was nothing special about it, it was just an ordinary piece of jade.

The Hou family has developed in the world, so it will naturally be involved in the jade business, and as a member of the Hou family, they know more or less about jade.

After listening to Lando's question, Hou Tianqing immediately said: "This should not be difficult. If it is a special type of jade, its origin is usually relatively fixed. Many master craftsmen can recognize it at a glance. If it is a common type As for jade, we also have testing equipment here, which has the most comprehensive distribution map of jade origin in the entire central region, and it should not be difficult to draw a conclusion after testing and comparing, but the second method will take more time."

Lando nodded and said, "Please."

Hou Tianqing smiled and said: "Let's go, since that's the case, let's go to my Hou family's store first, and ask Master Liao to have a look. Master Liao is the best jade master in our store, and he is also famous in the entire Shangdu jade world. It's number one."

Soon, the three of them came down to an antique jade shop led by Hou Tianqing. The three words 'Yujifang' were engraved on the plaque at the front of the shop.

This store is not magnificent either on the outside or inside, but just looking at the decorations, carvings, and even the two stone lions outside the door, you can feel a sense of historical precipitation, low-key and luxurious!

The store manager is a middle-aged man in his 40s with a slightly fat body. He naturally knows the people in his shop. As soon as he saw Hou Tianqing, he immediately ran over to greet him and said, "Why did Miss Tianqing come so early? Is it the preparation Looking for something better?"

With a smile on Hou Tianqing's face, he pretended to be grand and waved his hands and said, "Master Wen, I want all the goods in Yujifang today, Mr. Qing!"

Store Manager Wen said with a wry smile: "My Miss Qing, Mr. Qing, please don't make fun of me."

Hou Tianqing smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'm not joking, today I am receiving distinguished guests from my Hou family, if they like the things in the store, they will naturally take them casually, if you don't believe me, you can call Confirm with the clan."

Store Manager Wen is able to hold the position of store manager of Yujifang with a foreign surname. Naturally, he has two brushes. Dang even smiled and said 'no need', and looked at the three of Lando at the same time.

Manager Wen of course knew about the rumored challenger Lando. He basically confirmed the identities of the three with just a glance. At the same time, he also understood the Hou family's choice, and the smile on his face became even wider.

Hou Tianqing asked, "Master Liao hasn't come back yet?"

Manager Wen smiled and said: "Miss Tianqing, you also know that Master Liao has the habit of visiting the morning market. There is no exact time, but he will probably be back soon."

After Lando said it didn't matter, the four of them started to visit Yujifang accompanied by store manager Wen.

To say that there are really many good things here, in addition to normal jade carvings, there are also various rare and precious jade species.

Manager Wen brought four people to the top floor of Yujifang, where every kind of jade is extremely rare.

"This kind of jade is made of body-cultivating jade, which can absorb the free energy between the heaven and the earth and transform it into the most suitable gentle energy for nourishing the body. Wearing it all year round can restore the body and mind and prevent all diseases!" Store Manager Wen pointed Said a pair of crystal green jade bracelets.

"This is dragon blood jade. Legend has it that it was contaminated with the blood of ancient beasts and evolved over time. It has the functions of invigorating blood, dredging collaterals, and regulating meridians." Store Manager Wen said, pointing to a blood-red jade wrench.

"This is……"

Following Manager Wen's introduction one by one, the three of Lando also opened their eyes. They did not expect there to be so many jade stones with special functions.

Hou Tianqing said with a smile: "Ordinary jade has certain health-preserving properties, and these special jades are even more effective."

While joking, a clerk ran up and said, "Shopkeeper, Master Liao is back."

Store manager Wen nodded, let the clerk go to work, and then took the four of them to the place where Master Liao usually worked.

Pushing open the door and entering, I saw a hale and hearty old man making tea comfortably. When he saw the visitor, he smiled and said, "Mr. Wen, are you looking for me?"

Store Manager Wen said politely: "Mr. Liao, a little friend brought a piece of jade over, I hope you can give it to me."

Master Liao glanced at the person behind Store Manager Wen, and said with a smile: "Girl Qing, the person next to you should be the little friend Lando who recently turned the entire martial arts world upside down, right?"

Hou Tianqing smiled and said, "Grandpa Liao, you know Brother Lan."

Master Liao said with a smile: "I'm not an old antique. The matter of little friend Lando has been reported on the Internet for several months, and the heat hasn't dissipated."

Master Liao blinked as he said that, with the demeanor of an old urchin.

After exchanging greetings for a while, several people sat down as guests and hosts. Master Liao said, "Little friend Ran Duo might as well take out the jade now and let the old man have a look."

Lando took off the necklace hanging around his neck, and he put the jade pendant on the necklace.

This move also made the people present pay more attention, because Lando's carrying method also showed that he attached great importance to this jade pendant.

"Mr. Liao, my jade pendant is probably an ordinary item, but it means a lot to me, so I want to find out its origin."

In fact, according to Lando's original intention, it would be fine to directly use the instrument to test it. It is not appropriate to bother the Taishan Beidou in the jade world. Come on, isn't this embarrassing?
However, Hou Tianqing insisted on such an arrangement, presumably because of the Hou family's order, so Lando didn't care.

Master Liao took the jade pendant, held it in his hand, looked at it carefully for a moment, and said with a smile: "It is indeed an ordinary jade, but I just happen to know its origin. If there is no accident, it should be produced in Yuwu Town."

Lando was shocked immediately. You must know that ordinary jade can be found everywhere in the Central Region, so it's a bit amazing to see where it's produced at a glance, right?But he didn't doubt the authenticity of Master Liao's words, after all, he wouldn't be able to use his reputation to deceive him.

Master Liao explained with a smile: "Jade is produced in all parts of the Central Territory, but according to different environments, the jade produced in each place is still slightly different, and Yuwu Town is where I used to live when I was young. I have a deep understanding of the texture of the jade over there, you can see its color and weight..." (The knowledge behind is too professional to make up ())

After Master Liao's in-depth explanations, in the end only Lando, a high-level intellectual, fully understood. Even Hou Tianqing and Store Manager Wen, who are often in contact with the jade industry, only had a half-knowledge, but everyone had an expression of enlightenment, looking like A group of curly-haired baboons nodding seriously.

In the end, Master Liao returned the jade pendant to Lando and said, "Just in case, let Store Manager Wen take it and compare it with samples from Yuwu Town."

Lando was not hypocritical, he took the jade pendant and handed it to store manager Wen, "Please."

Manager Wen took it with a smile and said, "It should be, it should be!"

If it is a comprehensive comparison, it will take a long time, but if there is a clear comparison goal, the result will come out soon.

After a while, store manager Wen came back with the jade pendant and handed it back to Lando, and said, "It is indeed from Yuwu Town, as Teacher Liao said."

Lando took the jade pendant back, and said to Master Liao and Store Manager Wen, "Thank you for your help this time."

Master Liao nodded with a smile and didn't say much, while store manager Wen hurriedly waved his hands and said, "You are a distinguished guest of the owner, and even mine. I'm glad I can help you."

This kind of favor should naturally be counted on the Hou family's head, and store manager Wen didn't dare to accept it casually.

Then came the scene where the guests and the host had a good time. Before leaving, the three of them also brought a piece of jade as a gift each.

What Lando chose was a jade bracelet made of health-preserving jade. This thing is useless to him, but he can give it to Lan Yue. That girl with three legs and cats can't get rid of all diseases, so this jade bracelet is just right.

Next is the normal play time.

Wait for the time to come to night.

In the hotel, there was a knock on Lando's door.

After he opened the door, he saw Hou Tianqing standing outside the door.

Of course, the reason why the latter left and returned was of course not to trigger the plot that the old gentlemen liked to see. She came to complete the task given by the family.

Hou Tianqing said with a grin, "Brother Lan, won't you invite me to sit down?"

Lando smiled helplessly. Yesterday he really didn't realize that Hou Tianqing who was following Hou Tiansheng had such a weird temperament. Because he felt the breath emanating from the latter's arms, Lando had roughly guessed her intention of coming.

After asking Hou Tianqing to enter the room, Lando didn't speak, just sat on the sofa and watched her quietly.

This gesture made Hou Tianqing's small thoughts go out, she solemnly took out an exquisite wooden box and put it in front of Lando and said:
"Brother Lan, this is the Heart Ape Fist of our Hou family!"
