Chapter 62 Astounding Middle-Level Magic Weapon

Strong, strange colors flashed in Li Ruoxi's beautiful eyes. She had never even dreamed that Wang Ke would become a geomancer with magical power capable of energy-observing.

When they were rebuilding the Li family's ancestral home, her grandfather had invited a geomancer. He had wanted to have the geomancer take a look at the Fengshui of the terrain. Her grandfather, who was always full of power in her eyes, was almost humble in front of the geomancer invited. He almost offered him up as a god.

It was since then that she learned the existence of geomancers as well as their power.

With her sexy red lips squirming a few times, Li Ruoxi looked at Wang Ke who was gazing around. With one hand gently pulling Wang Ke's sleeve, she moved her delicate body even closer to Wang Ke and asked in a low voice, "Did you really become a geomancer? Do you know Fengshui?"

Wang Ke laughed, "I don't know Fengshui, but I'm studying with the senior from Self House. I believe that if I work hard, I'll be able to learn real skills in the future."

A bitter smile appeared on Li Ruoxi's beautiful face after several minutes. She sighed, "I didn't expect that I would find such a treasure by simply hiring a bodyguard. A geomancer! They are very much above us. In eyes of ordinary people like us, they are to be looked up to. Wang Ke, I suddenly have a feeling."

Wang Ke was confused, "What feeling?"

Li Ruoxi said smilingly, "I feel like I successfully picked up an undervalued treasure myself, and a priceless treasure this time."

Wang Ke pointed to the bridge of his nose and asked, "You mean me?"

Li Ruoxi nodded heavily, "You."

Wang Ke was dumbfounded and smiled. Then he put his eyes again on the variously shaped wooden furniture nearby.

Within a 10-meter radius, there was not much wooden furniture around, adding up to only a dozen pieces. After a moment of hesitation, Wang Ke was a little uncertain about whether he could use his extraordinary vision again now that he had used it before.

Controlling the spirit energy to slowly flow into his eyes, a feeling of pain more intense than the stinging sensation he got when he usually used the extraordinary vision came at once, forcing him to instantly close his eyes.

A few moments later, when the cool sensation that followed replaced the stinging sensation, he opened his eyes quickly and his gaze fell on the dozen pieces of furniture around him.

Chairs?

Wang Ke was surprised because when his gaze swept over one of the chairs, he immediately found a stream of white gas flowing above the chair. The amount of white gas was three or more times more than the usual white gas around other magic weapons that he had usually used the extraordinary vision to observe.

Wang Ke was not able to identify the material of the chair in front of him, but the designs carved on the chair had the Fengshui pattern of "Blessing and Longevity", which made him pleasantly surprised. After all, he had picked up several pieces of undervalued magic weapons already and had even seen several in Zhao Menfeng's Self House, but he had never encountered any magic weapon with Fengshui layouts engraved.

If not for the fact that he already knew it was a magic weapon, it would have been absolutely impossible to notice the carvings of "Happiness and Longevity" on the chair. Unless he put all his mind and energy into it and studied it repeatedly, he wouldn't have been able to see its pattern in the carving.

Wang Ke understood that if not for the extraordinary vision, he definitely would not have carefully identified the pattern on the chair even after confirming that it was a magic weapon. After all, it was nothing but an old broken chair from appearance.

The Fengshui layout of Happiness and Longevity was used as a decoration in the carving because of its deep meaning.

Both happiness and longevity were auspicious words frequently used among common people, so bats and longevity peaches whose pronunciations in Chinese were similar to good fortune and longevity, were often used together to form auspicious patterns. Happiness and Longevity, for example, was composed of one bat, two longevity peaches, and two ancient coins. The ancient coins meant "duplex" in homophony. This was an auspicious word to describe happiness and longevity.

The bat was holding a branch of immortal peaches in its mouth, flying in the company of auspicious clouds.

The pattern was harmonic and symbolic to indicate that both happiness and longevity were coming as a blessing from heaven.

From observing through his extraordinary vision, Wang Ke found that the white gas was slowly flowing according to the internal Fengshui layouts formed by the carving of Happiness and Longevity.

Quickly suppressing the ecstasy in his mind, Wang Ke cut off his spirit energy. Only when his vision was restored and the tingling sensation he was feeling again disappeared did Wang Ke stride over to the slightly broken chair that looked extremely normal.

''This is a magic weapon too?''

Li Ruoxi followed Wang Ke to that chair. She was keenly observant and naturally could see that Wang Ke's eyes were not quite the same when he was checking this chair.

Wang Ke quickly turned his head to look around. He whispered after he made sure that no one else was within twenty meters around them, "Don't say anything. I think it is! Just you wait, I'll buy it and resell it, and then we'll know if this chair is a genuine magic weapon or not."

Li Ruoxi gave Wang Ke a meaningful look. Although she heard Wang Ke say that it was just a feeling, as a thoughtful girl, she was still able to feel through her instinct that Wang Ke was very confident. As to why exactly he had such strong confidence, she did not know.

Wang Ke did not have the ability to read minds, so he naturally did not know what was in Li Ruoxi's mind. He turned around and waved the clerk who was looking over to where they were from time to time in the distance, and in just a moment, the clerk hurried over.

"What can I do for you, sir?"

Wang Ke laughed, "I like this chair pretty much. If I buy it for my elderly back home, the shape would work well. Give me a fair price and don't make us think you're dishonest."

The clerk's expression changed. Just as Wang Ke finished, he glanced at Li Ruoxi without a trace. He hesitated for a moment before extending a hand and said through clenched teeth, "Five hundred yuan. If you want to buy it, five hundred is fine. This is the lowest price."

He did not want to bear the name of dishonesty in front of a beauty. Therefore, he clenched his teeth and named the price according to the minimum price set by the boss.

Wang Ke laughed in his mind. He had wanted to use Li Ruoxi's beauty to bring trouble to this young clerk. After all, who would want to bear the name of dishonesty in front of a beautiful woman!

Five hundred yuan!

This was way too cheap. Originally, he had thought that the clerk would charge him at least two thousand yuan for this antique chair.

"Good. Brother, you are very honest. We are all straightforward people here, so I will not be picky. If you sell it at five hundred yuan, then five hundred yuan it is! Here is the money. Take it." Wang Ke nimbly took out his wallet to pull out five hundred yuan in cash and handed them to the clerk.

Being complimented by Wang Ke, the clerk was naturally fully satisfied. Glancing at Li Ruoxi again, he noticed that the corner of Li Ruoxi's mouth was outlined with a smile this time, and he was suddenly excited.

"You're welcome. The reason that we have been able to operate this store here for many years is that we are operating based on the principle of quality first and service second. We never cheat anyone. Um... Do you guys want to see any other items? I happen to have time now, and I can show you around." The fellow said with a smile.

With the treasure in hand, who would waste time wandering here?

Wang Ke secretly laughed, while a trace of regret appeared on his face as he shook his head, "I'm afraid I can't. We have some other things to do later and can't stay here for too long. Besides, I need to take this chair I just bought back to my elders at home. I still want to thank you for your kindness though, and if we have time in the future, we will visit this store often."

Hearing Wang Ke's assuring words, the disappointment in the clerk's eyes quickly disappeared. He nodded heavily and smiled, "In the future, if you come here, just call me directly. Whatever things you fancy, I will definitely sell them to you at the most reasonable and fair price."

Wang Ke nodded with a smile. He carried the chair and left with Li Ruoxi.

After leaving this store, Li Ruoxi turned around and asked curiously, "Just like that, you bought it? It's too easy, isn't it?"

Wang Ke laughed and said, "What else did you expect? Speaking of which, it was thanks to you that I was able to buy this chair for only five hundred yuan today. Li Ruoxi, did you notice that the clerk in that store couldn't even turn his eyes after seeing you? And I deliberately said that I do not wish for him to let us think he was dishonest. In order to give you a good impression, how could that boy name a fake price? I even suspect that the owner of that store had set five hundred yuan as the lowest price for the chair in the first place."

Li Ruoxi shook her head with a bitter smile, feeling somewhat impressed with Wang Ke's means of controlling other people's minds.

"Where are we going next?" Li Ruoxi asked with a smile.

Wang Ke pondered for a moment. As the appearance of Bai Ruochen came to his mind, he immediately laughed, "We go to sell this chair magic weapon."

"Where can we sell it?"

Li Ruoxi asked curiously.

Wang Ke said, "Just follow me and you will know!"

Since they were carrying a chair, many people who passed by Wang Ke and Li Ruoxi looked at them with amazement. On one hand, Li Ruoxi was so beautiful that it was difficult for her not to attract other people's attention. On the other hand, it was because of the chair Wang Ke was carrying. Many people looked curious, wondering what Wang Ke was doing with a ragged old chair.

There were even many people secretly wondering if that ragged chair was a genuine antique.

"Hurry up! Can't you see that people around are acting like crazy? Hurry up and go look for it. Make sure you find that middle-level magic weapon. If you find it, we will be rich."

"What middle-level magic weapon? Many geomancers with a great reputation even believe that it is not middle-level, but a high-level magic weapon. High-level magic weapon! Even the lowest price would be above one million yuan, wouldn't it? It can even reach millions in price. Hurry up. We cannot let anyone else find it first."

"The opportunity to make a fortune fell from the sky! This is really a rare chance. If we can find that high-level magic weapon, we can enjoy our lives for at least decades!"

"We must find it. At all costs, we must buy that high-level magic weapon. Hey man, come on! We can't give away such a good opportunity to make money to others."

"Ouch, don't push me! I haven't checked the stall over there yet! Maybe that high-level magic weapon is in that stall!"

"Quickly, quickly, let's go to that antique store over there..."

"..."

Wang Ke and Li Ruoxi looked at each other confusedly in the middle of the crowd. After they came out of the antique store, they had not noticed the surrounding situation because of their conversation. Now, they were almost dumbfounded.
