"This is a magical artifact, or rather, this peach of longevity wood carving was once a magical artifact." The young man's words instantly shocked Su Jiu and the shop owner.
Indeed, Su Jiu was completely taken aback by what the young man said.
Could this peach of longevity wood carving be a magical artifact?
This was something Su Jiu had never even considered.
When Su Jiu was examining the peach of longevity, he had already used his mental energy to test it, but there was no reaction at all.
A magical artifact has a very obvious characteristic: as long as mental energy is used to test it, there will be a reaction. This was also the reason why Su Jiu agreed to the transaction with the young man so readily.
Another reason was that when Su Jiu held the inkstone in his hand just now, it reacted to his mental energy.
"Pity, this magical artifact has already been damaged." Su Jiu, regaining his composure, said naturally.
"Do you understand feng shui?" The young man was taken aback by Su Jiu's words and immediately asked.
"I know a little. Once a magical artifact is damaged, it loses its original effect and can only be appreciated as a craft."
"Indeed, I bought this peach of longevity wood carving with the intention of repairing this magical artifact." The young man, surnamed Zhao, revealed his plan, but did not elaborate.
"Making a magical artifact? Ha ha!" Su Jiu laughed when he heard this.
Now, even if Su Jiu himself wanted to make a magical artifact, it would require a great deal of effort, and there was no guarantee of success. Even if he succeeded, the artifact he created would be of the lowest level. Only by reaching the Qi Observation realm could one be considered qualified to make a magical artifact.
This was also the reason why Su Jiu came to this old town street to look for treasures.
The young man in front of him did not even have the basic mental energy, yet he was thinking about making a magical artifact. Su Jiu couldn't help but laugh.
For such a person, Su Jiu didn't say much. Perhaps he had a feng shui tradition in his family, or perhaps he knew a little about feng shui.
Regardless, it had nothing to do with Su Jiu himself.
His initial curiosity had now completely disappeared.
Now, Su Jiu's mind was entirely focused on the inkstone in his hand.
"Really, don't you believe me? My family has a tradition of making these. If I hadn't come out to train and couldn't seek help from home, how could I not even have these few thousand yuan?" Hearing Su Jiu's muttering, the young man immediately tried to prove himself.
"Look, this is a magical artifact I made. Do you want it? I can sell it to you at a discount." The young man took out a palm-sized gourd from his pocket, with some runes carved on it, looking very ancient and weathered.
"Uh!" Su Jiu was instantly stunned.
"Is this the magical artifact you mentioned?"
"Yes! This is a wealth-attracting gourd I made. If a person wears it, it can bring wealth." The young man said proudly.
Su Jiu didn't say anything, feeling somewhat bitter. If this were really a wealth-attracting gourd, why wasn't it attracting wealth, but rather losing it?
The runes on the gourd were indeed for attracting wealth, but the gourd itself was not a magical artifact. More accurately, it could be called a fake wealth-attracting gourd.
In simpler terms, it was a knockoff.
In the feng shui world, such knockoffs are collectively known as pseudo-magical artifacts, which are not real magical artifacts.
The aura carried by such items is extremely weak, almost negligible.
A real magical artifact can suppress an area, change a person's aura, or change the aura of a place, thereby achieving the effects of feng shui.
A small gourd with such a weak aura cannot even affect a person's aura, let alone change it.
"How about it? Did you learn something? If you want it, I can sell it to you at a discount." The young man, seeing Su Jiu's surprise, thought he had stunned him and said proudly.
"How much is your wealth-attracting gourd?" Su Jiu wasn't stunned, but the shop owner was moved and asked directly.
"Ten thousand!"
"Whoa!"
"..."
Su Jiu didn't pay attention to the two of them, smiling slightly and shaking his head as he walked out. There were not many magical artifacts left in the world. At least, it was almost impossible to find a real magical artifact in such a shop.
The situation between the shop owner and the young man was just very amusing to Su Jiu.
How could a magical artifact be so easily made?
Like the family heirloom compass, that was a magical artifact, and a top-tier one at that. Such a magical artifact was gradually formed through the mental energy of several generations of Su Jiu's ancestors.
Su Jiu used the compass's own aura to suppress the inverted coffin in the Bull God Cave.
The gourd the young man took out just now was really just a craft.
As for repairing a magical artifact?
Thinking about this, Su Jiu couldn't help but laugh. Generally, repairing a magical artifact is even more difficult than making one.
This is because a magical artifact has a characteristic: once the aura it forms is destroyed, it is very difficult to restore it.
This is because the aura of a magical artifact is fixed from the moment it is formed. If the frequency of the aura is slightly different during the repair, the magical artifact will have no effect.
This is the reason why repairing a magical artifact is so difficult.
Leaving the shop, Su Jiu's mind was no longer on the peach of longevity.
His entire mind was now focused on the inkstone.
Just as he walked out of the shop, a piece of information suddenly appeared in Su Jiu's mind. The information was a hand seal.
Su Jiu didn't know why the golden compass in his mind would suddenly produce such information.
What did he do just now?
It seemed he didn't do anything!
It seemed he just used his mental energy to test the inkstone.
The golden compass in his mind had been inactive since the incident in the second teaching building. Su Jiu remembered clearly that after the heavenly punishment, the golden compass had changed and then remained inactive.
But now, the golden compass in his mind was reacting on its own.
This made Su Jiu instantly stunned.
Su Jiu's mind was completely focused on the inkstone. Now, Su Jiu was sure that the hand seal appearing in his mind was definitely related to the inkstone.
As long as he continued to use his mental energy to touch the inkstone, the hand seal would automatically appear in his mind.
Once he stopped using his mental energy, the hand seal would slowly fade from his mind.
Su Jiu now just wanted to find a place to study it carefully.
This inkstone was definitely a good thing.
Su Jiu's heart was instantly filled with joy.
He didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly. Just a moment ago, he was thinking that it was almost impossible to find treasures in this place, but now, he had unexpectedly encountered such a good thing. Although he still didn't know what this inkstone was!
