The "The Art of Assessing Treasures by Looking at Qi" that Hou Dongsheng learned does not describe the use of the art of looking at qi to identify treasures, and there will be paradoxical situations when identifying treasures.

This version of "The Art of Assessing Qi and Treasures" not only mentions this situation, but also explains the reasons.

It's the Qi machine.

The so-called looking at Qi means looking at Qi Yun.

Use the charm to determine the level of treasures.

Qiyun is composed of Qi mechanism.

The vitality of heaven and earth is constantly changing.

If the Qi movement cannot be locked, it will naturally become confusing and paradoxical.

How to lock the air machine?

This scroll doesn't say anything.

Hou Dongsheng closed his eyes and thought quietly.

Liao Bufan stood aside with a respectful expression and did not dare to take a breath, for fear of disturbing Hou Dongsheng's thinking.

After a long time...

Hou Dongsheng: "Is there any discomfort if you perform the Treasure Appraisal Eye Technique once?"

"It feels like there is sand in my eyes, and it is unbearably sore and swollen."

Hou Dongsheng: "Will you shed tears?"

"Of course! When I first practiced this technique three years ago, I would burst into tears every time I used it. I had to close my eyes and it would take two or three hours to fully recover. After a year, it wouldn't be a problem if I only used it once a day.

Will shed tears; after two years, it can be used three times. Even at the current level, it cannot be used five times a day, otherwise the tears will not stop... But even so, my use of this pupil technique to identify treasures still feels specious and difficult to determine, even if it is true

If a heavy treasure is placed in front of you, you can't tell its clues through its charm. Unless you know in advance that this object is a heavy treasure, it is easy to capture the vitality. But since you already know that it is a heavy treasure, what is the point of using the treasure eye technique?

"Liao Bufan was obviously tortured by this spell. He was quite excited when he said it and wanted to beat his chest.

Even though you know it is a valuable treasure, it still makes sense to take a look at it using the technique of fortune-telling. At least it can prove that it is a real treasure.

After all, this is the process of identification.

When a treasure appraiser sees an object, based on his own knowledge, he determines that it may be a valuable treasure, and then uses the technique of fortune-telling to observe its aura.

If its charm really matches the quality of Chongbao, then it is indistinguishable and definitely not a fake.

If casual cultivators want to use this Taoist technique to pick up leaks in street stalls and markets, they probably won't be able to...

If Hou Dongsheng's guess is correct, this Taoist skill may not have been picked up at all...

If a Taoist technique that every treasure appraiser can learn can be used to detect leaks, then there will probably be too many leak-picking kings in the world to count.

This should be the case...

"The Art of Awareness of Treasures" is by no means the magical art that I imagined.

If it were really that kind of magic, it should be called "The Art of Looking for Treasures".

The three words "treasure appraisal" actually hint at the true function of this Taoist method.

If you want to pick out leaks in the street market, it is definitely not enough to just practice this Taoist technique. You have to read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, read a lot of books, increase your knowledge, and then study psychological warfare methods to become a real leak-picking king.

Thinking of this, Hou Dongsheng raised the corner of his mouth, showing a look of understanding.

Liao Bufan: "Please give me some advice from fellow Taoist Hou!"

"The reason why you can't lock the qi machine is very simple. It's because..." At this point, Hou Dongsheng suddenly stopped talking.

He looked towards the closed door.

Liao Bufan was listening attentively when he suddenly noticed that Hou Dongsheng had stopped talking. He immediately felt itchy and scratched his ears and cheeks. When he saw Hou Dongsheng looking towards the wooden door, his consciousness came out...

Bang!

A guest in Tsing Yi pushed open the wooden door.

Guest in Tsing Yi: "Elder Liao!"

"Get out!" Liao Bufan shouted with a distorted face.

The guest in Tsing Yi rolled away and crawled away.

Hou Dongsheng: "Who is that?"

Liao Bufan quickly put on a smile and said, "That's one of our gang's thieves."

"Which gang does Liao Daoyou belong to?" Hou Dongsheng asked with great interest.

Although Liao Bufan had no interest in answering these questions, he naturally did not dare to hide anything when faced with Hou Dongsheng's inquiry.

"The name of our gang is Qingyou Gang, it's just a group of casual cultivators who huddle together for warmth." Liao Bufan said humbly.

Hou Dongsheng: "You are forming gangs under the noses of the Lin family on Yuchi Island. Does the Lin family have any objections?"

"How dare we, the Qingyou Gang, be enemies of the Lin family? We are just begging for food on Yuchi Island."

"I see, by the way...where did we just talk about?"

"Just now, fellow Taoist Hou was talking about the reason why the "Qi Appraisal Technique" cannot lock the qi mechanism." Liao Bufan reminded with a smile on his face.

Hou Dongsheng: "Oh... the reason is naturally because of your poor eyesight."

The real reason is that this technique cannot be locked at all, but Hou Dongsheng had other plans, so he lied.

The Qingyou Gang itself is a deceitful force, and Hou Dongsheng is treating others in his own way.

"I think so too! Although the treasure's energy is elusive and hard to find, if you have sufficient eyesight, you can still capture the misty opportunities and finally lock the treasure. Naturally, it will not be specious." Liao Bufan said with excitement.

"May I ask fellow Taoist Hou how to improve your eyesight?"

Hou Dongsheng: "There are three ways to improve eyesight..."

"First, insisting on practicing the Taoist art of "Looking at the Qi and Appraising Treasures" can improve your eyesight. Although the effect is not great, it is better than nothing."

Liao Bufan nodded in approval. He had practiced the "Qi-Checking Treasure Technique" for three years. In the first year, he would burst into tears when he performed it once. This was because he had insufficient eyesight and used it forcefully, thus injuring his eyes.

Why bother to practice for three years and then you can perform it five times in a day without bursting into tears?

"The second is to practice a physical training method. This method must nourish the liver and improve eyesight from the inside out."

Hou Dongsheng completed the foundation building by practicing "Kidney Water Jue".

There is a special method for nourishing the liver and wood in the "Kidney Water Jue". Therefore, although Hou Dongsheng has only practiced "The Art of Looking at Qi and Identifying Treasures" for only three months, his eyesight is far stronger than that of Liao Bufan.

Liao Bufan: "It is extremely rare to practice body training techniques in the Dibei Cultivation Continent. What's more, I have already established the foundation of my vitality. If I change my main training technique for a treasure-appraisal pupil technique, it will really be a waste of time..."

Hou Dongsheng: "Then you have to use the third method. This method has immediate results. It does not require long-term practice of secret techniques, nor does it need to practice a physical training method at the same time."

"I also ask fellow Taoist Hou to give me some advice!"

"There is a second-level spiritual substance called Qingmu Spiritual Liquid. As long as you wash your eyes with the Qingmu Spiritual Liquid, your natural purpose will greatly increase..."

"To be honest, the reason why Hou was able to see the treasure contained in the clam is because he had washed his eyes with the clear eyesight liquid. This way he could see the treasure at a glance." Hou Dongsheng said.

He said with a proud face.

"Qingmu Spiritual Liquid..." Liao Bufan muttered to himself.

He has never heard of such spiritual materials since he started practicing Taoism.

However, there are so many weird and weird spiritual materials in the world that it’s hard to count, so it’s normal if you haven’t heard of them.

Liao Bufan: "May I ask fellow Taoist Hou...where can I get this clear-eye spiritual liquid?"

"As far as I know, there is only one place in the world where Qingmu Spiritual Liquid is produced."

"where?"

"The Secret Realm of the Banshee!"

"What!? It's the Banshee Secret Realm?" Liao Bufan looked shocked.

Hou Dongsheng stopped talking.

After a long time.

Liao Bufan asked in a puzzled tone: "Did Fellow Daoist Hou have been to the Banshee Secret Realm?"

Hou Dongsheng smiled and said nothing, pretending to be mysterious.

Liao Bufan considered his words and asked again: "Dare to ask fellow Taoist Hou, where exactly is the Qingmu Spiritual Liquid located in the Banshee Secret Realm? What does it look like?"

Hou Dongsheng still smiled and said nothing.

"Please let me know, fellow Taoist Hou," Liao Bufan asked respectfully, clasping his fists and bowing.

Hou Dongsheng: "Brother Liao... this time the Banshee Secret Realm is opened, will you go?"

"This..." Liao Bufan suddenly showed hesitation.

"Of course I want to go." Liao Bufan admitted.

Hou Dongsheng: "There are countless treasures in the Banshee Secret Realm. We can explore it together. If we get half of the Qingmu Spiritual Liquid again, what do fellow Taoists think?"
