CHAPTER 746 APPRAISE

Su Jing had nothing to say to it, it seems that his routine has been clearly understood, but this is also a good thing, in the future, everyone will get the same meaningless answers from him after asking and they probably will not bother to ask again.

After all, Su Jing can’t honestly say where these items had come from and the others also shouldn’t expect an honest answer from him.

For example, this tree-rooted fetus is actually from the “Law of the Devil Universe”. This is one of the roots of “Treant” and it should not be a real Treant, but a big tree awakened by the Trent.

One of them seems to have been awakened and died. But it was not fully formed, and the root of the tree turned out to be in a fetal shape. Su Jing doesn’t know why this had happened.

He had never seen or heard of a Treant being this young, or it is also possible that this tree is more special, but as it is already dead then Su Jing would treat it as a strange thing and a treasure.

Of course, Su Jing thinks that showing a real dead Treant will be even more amazing, but it is really inconvenient to bring it here and the shock would be too great.

Therefore, he felt that those Treants should be kept in his own collection, and there was no need to show them to other people.

“Mr. Su, can you give this Fetus from the root of the tree to me, you can ask any price.” The Graceful Looking Middle-Aged Woman spoke again and this time, the expression on her face looked even more eager.

“Why would he give this treasure to you, what about us.” The Big-Bellied Middle-Aged Man also spoke, apparently, he also wanted this.

“That’s right, why should he give it to you, why?” Another Middle-Aged Man said.

“You also wanted to grab the Beautiful Stone Sculpture just now. Why do you have to grab this Fetus as well? Mr. Su, I have always wanted a child, but unfortunately, I haven’t been able to get pregnant. I think this tree-rooted fetus is simply God’s will. I will take it home and maybe it can bring me some good luck, Mr. Su, you can name any price you want and I will pay it, will you give it to me?” The Graceful Looking Middle-Aged woman said.

“This is just a tree root. What does it have to do with your pregnancy.” The Big-Bellied Middle-Aged Man curled his lips as he spoke.

“You think it’s okay, then don’t grab it from me. I think it’s related as it may be a reminder from the old ways of the world.” The Graceful Looking Middle-Aged woman retorted.

“Speaking of which, my wife and I also want a second child.” Another Middle-Aged Man said.

Many people hear something like that and they had nothing to say. What is this, what kind of shit poor excuses are these? Are they really that desperate for these treasures? Su Jing also has nothing to say to these.

How could his treasure have anything to do with pregnancy? Moreover, Su Jing also doesn’t know if this Graceful Looking Middle-Aged Woman really wants to get pregnant or is she just making an excuse.

If she really wants to get pregnant, then he might be able to help in other ways, but… Su Jing thought about it and then he let go of this thought. It doesn’t matter to him so he won’t go out looking for trouble.

“Don’t fight, I’m not going to sell this root for the time being. Let me remind you that I won’t sell the remaining treasure as well. Don’t fight again for it. In other words, if you want to buy them then please pay attention to the latest news of Galactic Auction House.” Su Jing said.

It seems that today would be a special advertisement for the Galactic Auction House.

The crowd was itching to spit on Su Jing. What the fuck, you came here with so many treasures, but you refused to sell, this is really greedy, but they still can not help but look on.

…

Under everyone’s gaze, Su Jing lifted the third piece of cloth, revealing a small glass jar with a Jade Mouse inside which immediately attracted everyone’s attention.

This Jade Mouse is relatively large. It is estimated that this kind of real-looking Jade Mouse will weigh more than half a jin. The Jade Mouse looks warm, clean, white, and delicate, and the quality of jade is very good.

However, inside the Jade Mouse, one can see many strips of red going through its body, these red stripes are like blood vessels spreading all over the body and they look a bit terrifying, but it also excludes a faint sense of inexplicable surprise.

This Jade Mouse looks so impressive that people can’t help but look at it again.

“This should be Hetian Jade, right?”

“Yes, it looks so gentle and delicate, it should be the top quality Hetian Jade.”

“But there are strips of the blood-red inside, what are they?.”

“Could this be the Millenium Bloodstone in Legend?”

“This carving is also too impressive, it’s too lifelike.”

“Look at the hair, beard, and eyes, it’s almost as if it’s real.”

“This should come from the same hand as that beautiful woman’s stone carving, right?”

Everyone was dumbfounded. Some knowledgeable people such as Old Xie, Liu Hong, Tao Qinzhu, and others were also completely stunned.

First of all, the material of this Jade Mouse is very top-notch as it is impossible to pick out any flaws no matter from which angle they view it.

Secondly, the size of this Jade Mouse is very big. They have indeed seen many sculptures of Jade Mouses made out of Hetian Jade but none of them were of this size.

And if there are Jade Mouses of this size then people who have collected them did not bring them out.

Thirdly, the carving is too unbelievable and too special. Generally, when one engraves Jade Animal Ornaments, it is possible to sculpt every hair but it is too difficult of a process and it would waste too much Jade.

Especially those few beards, they would require an unholy amount of time and material. There was also the long tail with a detailed carving process, they cannot even imagine how much jade was removed for a few long beards and the tail.

But the carvings were so vivid and so stunning that no one would say that it was a waste.

There is one more thing that shocked them the most, and it was the color of the blood inside the Jade Mouse. It looked like Millenium Bloodstone and was thought to be patterned like blood vessels, giving it an uncanny sense of wonder.

“Old Xie, is this Millenium Bloodstone?” Liu Hong asked.

“It looks like it should be a Millenium Bloodstone, it is not possible for it to be dyed. But there’s something strange about the way blood is formed, and it doesn’t make any sense.” Old Xie was surprised.

“Yes, if it is a Bloodstone then the blood should have spread from the outside to inside. How can there be blood from inside to outside, and the blood colors are distinct, which is too strange.” Another old man was also surprised.

“However, this blood vessel pattern is really wicked and beautiful.” Tao Qinzhu said.

“What is Millenium Bloodstone?” Qian Yingzhu couldn’t help asking.

“The so-called Millenium Bloodstone, legend refers it to some Jade Stones that have been penetrated by a blood-like color, so it is not really a Natural Jade, whether it is Emerald, Khotan Jade, or Topaz, as long as there is blood red color penetrated inside of them, they would be called Bloodstone. But in fact, calling them Bloodstone is an inaccurate statement. It is rare to see the real ‘Bloodstone’ in the Jade and Antique Shops as some Jades in the Ancient Jades will appear red when it enters the soil, so some people began to call them Red or just Blood Stones. The Ancient Jade Collectors of the Qing Dynasty called this kind of Hongqin ancient jade ‘Xueqin(Blood Seeped Stone)’. They believed that ‘Xueqin’ was made by decayed blood from a corpse that seeped into the jade. However, this statement is unscientific, according to modern scientific tests and experiments, Blood will soon be carbonized as it entered underground, and it will not enter the hard jade-like inorganic substances. The red color on the Ancient Jade is the oxidation and decomposition of iron in the soil or iron in the funerals which then seeped into the jade body. The common blood stains on Jade’s bodies are dark red or reddish-brown, which is caused by iron.” Old Xie explained in detail.

“Then this kind of Bloodstone is precious?” Liu Qing asked.

“Of course, Jade Stones, in general, are very delicate and it is not easy for one to appear that ooze color, the speed of iron infiltration is unusually slow in hard substances like Jade and the more delicate and high-quality a jade is, the more difficult this process becomes. It usually takes about thousands of years for a wide range of blood to appear in a Jade Stone, so it is also called Millenium Bloodstone. So it’s very precious, and while the vivid blood color would scare some people, there are a lot more people who are very addicted to it and the price stays very high.” Old Xie continued.

How can there be no skin? How about appearing directly in it? And why are the blood vessels so distinct?

When they heard this, they had a general understanding and understood the strange thing these experts had said before. Since the color of blood is permeated by the iron element in the soil so it is naturally permeated into the inside from the outside. So how could the blood vessel in this Jade Mouse appear from inside to outside and the color is also quite vivid and not diluted as it usually appears?

Su Jing listened to the words of Old Xie and the others and felt a little nervous. In fact, the reason why he took this Jade Mouse out was just to see if anyone could see any clues.

Su Jing knew in his heart that this was not the Millenium Bloodstone of the legend. The so-called Millenium Bloodstone is not really infiltrated with blood, but iron. But the inside of this Jade Mouse is probably really solidified blood.

The process was a bit evil and it took Su Jing a long time to accept it. This had happened when Su Jing tested all the Five Powders he got from the Law of the Devil Universe with rats.

One of them was the Morphing Medicine and the other is Ice Berry Powder. One of the rats became uncomfortable after taking a medicine powder and it began to die.

But Su Jing could never have imagined that when he went to see it again after a while, the dying mouse turned into a Jade Mouse, that is, the one in front of him, which shocked him at that time. This was simply unscientific.

Then, he thought of the mysterious Mages in the Law Of The Devil Universe, they are one of the superb existence in that Universe.

They are not greedy for money because a qualified Alchemist can turn stones into gems. For them, gems are nothing more than ordinary magic props.

This kind of medicinal powder may be similar to the magic of turning stones into gold, so it turns the mice that eat them into Jade.

In other words, the reason why this mouse is so lifelike is not because of some engraver. It is because this used to be a real mouse. The blood vessels inside the mouse have not turned into jade for some reason.

Of course, the wasted Jade that was used to form long whiskers and tail also only exists in the imagination of others, there was no Jade so how could there be any wastage.

“Old Xie, what about this Jade Mouse?” Qian Jibing asked.

Old Xie didn’t make a decision. Instead, he discussed it with several other people, some of them were friends of his, some of them were people who work at various museums, some of them were experts in the field.

As they discussed, they carefully observed the Jade Mouse and took out various tools to examine it.

In the end, they came to the conclusion that it was impossible to identify this Jade Mouse. They can’t tell just by looking at it. The blood is inside, and they can’t destroy the outside to take the jade from inside for identification.

Of course, they are also leaning towards the thinking that this is a real Bloodstone because there’s nothing fake about it.

However, even if they were sure that this was Bloodstone, they couldn’t put a price on it. Such jade quality, such carving, such blood-red color, it is simply unheard of, this Jade Mouse is likely to be a unique treasure in this World.
