Chapter 96: Ambrosia

Ye Chenxi first nodded, then shook her head and said, “No, I’m just looking around. The words written on it are quite impressive.”

Chu Qing shifted his gaze to the tablet and realized that it was not a bronze artifact, but a bottle of wine called ambrosia. This name was given by the appraiser. According to the introduction, this was the first time the appraiser had seen such a thing.

This was unearthed from an ancient tomb. At first, people thought that this was a bronze weapon, but bronze weapons had to be useful. This ugly bronze weapon was obviously not an ornament, and it was definitely not a sacrificial weapon.

Instead, it appeared more like a container. In fact, it could be described as a container, but it had no openings. It was completely sealed, resembling a solid sphere. After several discussions and examinations of this bronze artifact, experts from various fields finally made some discoveries.

This was indeed a container. It was filled with wine, ancient wine that had existed for thousands of years. The material of the container was not bronze in the traditional sense. It was very tough. The experts used many advanced instruments and spent a lot of effort to finally take out a drop of ancient wine.

After the appraisal, this ancient wine had the effect of increasing the strength of martial artists. Moreover, its effect was not low. Therefore, it naturally became something that ancient martial arts families were jealous of. This bronze weapon that should have been displayed in the museum had somehow appeared at the auction.

It had to be said that strength determined everything. In front of the various ancient martial arts families, the rules of the world had become targets to be trampled on at will. The strong preyed on the weak, the fittest survived, and the strong were respected. In different worlds, the same rules of survival still existed. Chu Qing sighed slightly.

In that case, this wine was also useful to Ye Chenxi. However, Chu Qing did not think that he could snatch such a thing that everyone was fighting over. He was still too weak. Money was secondary.

Otherwise, even if he had money and sold it, he might not be able to protect it. Chu Qing knew the cruelty of the cultivator world. Everyone below the Great Tao was an ant. Those who blocked its path would die. The martial artists in this world were no different.

The auction was still ongoing. Ye Chenxi had already shifted her attention from the ambrosia to something else. Chu Qing rested his head on his arm and leaned against the sofa to take a nap. A moment later, his eyes opened instantly like thunder.

Chu Qing sat up straight. His eyes were filled with indescribable shock. He took the tablet from Ye Chenxi’s hand again and flipped to the page of the ambrosia. He clicked on the photo and enlarged it again…

“Why is this photo so blurry?” Chu Qing complained anxiously.

Zhai Yu pouted unhappily. “The picture is magnified to this extent. No matter how good the camera is, it’s impossible for it to not be blurry.”

However, Chu Qing couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy. He was reluctant to let go of his curiosity. It was as if he was buying a pearl and then returning it.

However, just as Chu Qing was taking a nap, the image of the bronze container flashed through his mind. Under its ugly appearance, the patterns on its surface were so beautiful that it made his heart tremble.

Tao patterns instantly appeared in Chu Qing’s mind.

This is the divine metal.

A metal of the Great Tao nurtured by the world. The patterns on it were nurtured by the world and not man-made.

Only spiritual materials of this caliber were worthy of serving as a sheath for the rusty sword. Anything less, like that meteoric iron, even if used to forge a sheath, would not be able to withstand the power of the rusty sword. The Tao runes inscribed on the rusty sword could shatter it with minimal effort.

Chu Qing was pleasantly surprised and wanted to confirm it again. Unfortunately, the photo was not as realistic as the real thing. However, this was enough. Chu Qing was already 70 to 80% certain.

After Zhai Yu finished mocking Chu Qing, he put away his joking thoughts and asked Chu Qing if he wanted to see the real thing. He could arrange it. Chu Qing shook his head and refused. He had already calmed down. If that was really a piece of Tao metal, he had to think about it at length.

Zhai Yu was already used to Chu Qing’s abnormal behavior tonight. If Chu Qing rejected him, he couldn’t be bothered to arrange it.

The auction had already reached the final juncture. There were only a few items left. Among them, Chu Qing’s 10 Spirit Stones had already been sold. They were divided into five groups.

Each group had a million yuan, so they sold a total of five million yuan. After deducting the two million yuan that Zhai Yu had given Chu Qing in advance, Zhai Yu still had to give Chu Qing three million yuan. Of course, this was without counting the commission.

Before the auction began, Zhai Yu had already said that he would waive the commission for Chu Qing, so there was no problem with it. Previously, Chu Qing had borrowed five million yuan from Zhai Yu, so at the end of the day, Chu Qing still had two million yuan.

Before Chu Qing could talk about this problem, a new wave had already set off on the first floor of the auction hall. This was because the item being auctioned this time was a secret prescription of the Tang family.

Although everyone knew that this prescription had appeared at the auction, they were still shocked when it came to it..
