Chapter 38 Strange Stones
As everyone watched, the wooden box slowly opened.
It was already autumn and the weather was cool.
As the wooden box slowly opened, a warm feeling slowly spread out, very warm.
At that time, an object the size of a fist was purple-red and had edges and corners, but it had been smoothed. The surface was covered with wrinkles, like bark.
At first glance, it looks like a tree root.
"What is this?"
"I have never seen it, and I have never heard of it."
"It looks like a tree root."
"It should be a unique medicinal material, but I don't know which medicinal material it is."
"No matter what kind of medicinal material it is, it can warm the room, and it is a kind of immortal thing."
"Maybe it's really a fairy thing."
Everyone was talking about it. Although all the people present were the leading figures of Fengxing Mansion, they had also gone to other prefectures, even crossed the Huai River and went to the capital. They were well-informed, but they could not recognize this strange object.
Even though Mr. Shangguan was not happy with Mr. Chen who was forced everywhere, he could not give a look in public. He reached out to take the treasure, but he was very curious and asked, "What kind of treasure is this?"
Qin Xianyu knew that although this old man Shangguan had a very high status now, he was just an ordinary rich man before and had no high knowledge. Therefore, it was reasonable that Old Man Shangguan did not recognize this thing.
But Qin Xianyu sensed the slightly warm breath, and gradually became a little confused in his heart, but the young Taoist priest's face still seemed calm.
What kind of treasure is this?
Old Master Shangguan was puzzled, but the people present were puzzled.
Mr. Chen smiled slightly and said, "This medicinal material is given by a master. It can be placed in the room to make winter and cool in summer. It can be called an immortal object, but I don't know the specific origin. Since this object looks like a medicinal material, why not ask this Taoist Master Qin?"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless eyes fell on Qin Xianyu again.
In ordinary people's feelings, these gazes from big men are as thick as mountains, but in front of Qin Xianyu, they are still not worth mentioning. His pure and handsome white face is filled with a faint smile.
Grand Secretary Su has been in the capital for many years and has seen countless rare treasures. Most of the treasures in the national treasury were seen with his own eyes, but he did not know the origin of such strange things. But when Mr. Chen said it was medicinal materials, he looked at Mr. Qian next to him and asked, "Since this thing is medicinal materials, can you, the former chief imperial physician, recognize it?"
Mr. Qian only glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze, and a faint disdain flashed in his eyes, saying, "What kind of medicinal material is this thing? It's obviously a broken stone."
Grand Secretary Su said in surprise: "Breaking the stone?"
Qian Siye said: "This is a stone made during the Imperial Supervision Practice's alchemy. It is warm all year round and can change the surrounding temperature, so it has a warm atmosphere. As for the hot weather in summer, the warmth of this stone becomes a cool air compared to the scorching sun."
In the mouth of the Fourth Master Qian, this thing seemed not worth mentioning, but to Grand Secretary Su, it was an extraordinary thing. He was secretly frightened and hurriedly whispered: "According to the fact that such a strange thing that changes the temperature should be used in the palace. I often go in and out of the palace, why don't I know?"
"So what about the inner garden of the Imperial Palace? How did this thing from the Imperial Heavenly Prison be released?" Qian Siye smiled and said, "At the beginning, someone from the Imperial Heavenly Prison asked me if I could use this object as medicine. I realized it, but it seemed like the root of a medicinal material, but in fact it was made of stone, without medicinal properties, and could not be used as medicine."
After a pause, the fourth master Gan said again: "I don't know how this thing falls into the hands of the younger generation of the Chen family, but most of them know it. He deliberately guided the medicinal materials, probably because he wanted to see the little Taoist priest Qin Xianyu, who was a big ugly."
Grand Secretary Su had a little more glorious look and was quite ridiculous. He thought to himself: "It's not medicinal materials, but it's misled as medicinal materials. Let this little Taoist priest guess? He is used to the conspiracies and tricks in the court, and it's still interesting to see these tricks."
Everyone's eyes fell on Qin Xianyu for a long time.
Qin Xianyu frowned slightly.
Mr. Shangguan naturally knew that Mr. Chen's move was to make Qin Xianyu look ugly and make everyone look down on him. When the proposal of marriage was proposed later, both Qin Xianyu and Shangguan's family would be a little embarrassed. The old man paused slightly and said, "The junior of the Qin family, this thing is a bit heavy. It looks like it is not a tree root medicinal material, come and take a look?"
Mr. Shangguan’s idea is quite simple. After all, it is better to take this thing into your hands and take a closer look than to guess it from afar.
Mr. Chen shook his fan slightly and said with a smile: "Can you not see this Taoist priest? Or is it that the inheritance of the Qin family's medical skills is still too shallow and I can't see any medicinal materials?"
"Young Master Chen misunderstood."
Qin Xianyu smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to pass the hand. Although you have never seen this path before, you can recognize it by just looking at this glance."
Mr. Chen was disdainful and sneered: "Then let me tell you."
This object comes from the most mysterious Imperial Heavenly Prison in the capital. All the pill recipes of Imperial Heavenly Prison have never been circulated. This treasure can almost be said to be the only strange stone circulating in the Imperial Heavenly Prison.
Unless they are from the Imperial Heavenly Prison, who can recognize this strange stone?
Grand Secretary Su and Master Gan looked at each other, showing a look of surprise.
Qin Xianyu took a deep breath and said slowly: "This object is a stone, refined by three foreign objects, mainly white stone, which takes three hours to condense into liquefied powder, dust condenses into fossils, and is naturally warm. The master named it Yang Qi Stone by Yun."
Everyone was shocked.
Mr. Chen was secretly shocked by lightning. Then he snorted, shook his sleeves hard, and said coldly: "Impossible! This thing is not called Yang Qi Stone! You little Taoist priest, you don't know treasures, and you are talking nonsense! If you were in my Chen family, you might have to cut half of your tongue."
After saying that, he looked at the old master of the Shangguan family again, and his meaning was quite obvious.
If you are in a century-old family like the Chen family, you will naturally cut off your tongue and expel these nonsense little people. What should you do with the Shangguan family?
At this moment, the little Taoist priest laughed a little and said, "Treasure? If you really want this thing, two or three more left under the statue of the Taoist Ancestor God in the broken Taoist temple. What a treasure, it's just in exchange for two silver coins."
Such a treasure is worth two silver coins?
Mr. Chen remembered the cautious look of the great man when he handed over this strange treasure. He could imagine how precious this thing was? Seeing the little Taoist priest belittle the treasure like this, he was extremely angry.
Qin Xianyu looked at the stone that looked like a tree root and sighed softly: "The master Guanyun's accidental refining medicine has obtained. With this Yang Qi Stone, the surrounding temperature is improved, but the refining steps are quite complicated. I thought that no one could refine the Yang Qi Stone except the master. Seeing this Yang Qi Stone today, it seems that there are many people in this world who are as good as the master, who are proficient in alchemy."
