Old Mr. Liang, whose name is Liang Feng.

Liang Feng is a well-known figure in Jiangning, different from Old Mr. Chu's expertise in appraising antiques, Liang Feng's greatest strength lies in his extensive knowledge. It can be said that whether it's small ceramic jars or large heirloom artifacts, as long as they have existed, there is basically nothing Liang Feng doesn't know.

Especially when it comes to natural treasures, Liang Feng has done a lot of research.

Liang Feng's status is also very high; several auction houses in Jiangsu Province revere him as their top appraiser.

Cheng Dafeng and Liang Feng are old acquaintances.

By the Biyue Lake.

Liang Feng's residence is here, surrounded by many villas, which is also a famous place for health and wellness.

Cheng Dafeng knows that every morning, Liang Feng practices a set of random boxing by the Biyue Lake.

Naturally, today is no exception.

Liang Feng, wearing a thin shirt, punches and kicks with remarkable vigor.

Cheng Dafeng chuckled, "Old Liang, I've come to see you."

Hearing the familiar voice, Liang Feng's movements slowed down, and a hint of amusement appeared on his slightly aged face: "Old Cheng, I heard you were beaten by a junior yesterday, almost running naked. That's really a disgrace in your old age!"

Cheng Dafeng, hearing this, became furious and cursed, "Old Liang, can we still be friends?"

Liang Feng was taken aback but became even more interested: "It seems that's true. In theory, your skills aren't weak, so how did you get beaten by a junior? Did you forget to eat breakfast yesterday?"

Seeing that Liang Feng wouldn't let go of the issue, Cheng Dafeng said directly, "That Su Wen is no simple character. At first, I completely dominated him, beating him to the point where he couldn't fight back. But then something happened, and he seemed to have taken some kind of drug. His speed and strength increased dramatically, and I ended up losing mysteriously."

Liang Feng nodded and praised, "Indeed, the young are to be feared!"

Cheng Dafeng then remembered the main reason for his visit and took out a photo of the Water Spirit Grass: "Old Liang, take a look at this. After Su Wen beat me yesterday, someone told me that Su Wen won because of this spirit grass."

Liang Feng glanced at Cheng Dafeng and said calmly, "In today's society, where can you find such things..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Liang Feng was stunned.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this grass?"

Cheng Dafeng noticed that Liang Feng's eyes were fixed on the Water Spirit Grass, filled with disbelief.

Could this grass really be a treasure?

Cheng Dafeng also became excited.

Liang Feng had already taken the photo into his hands and examined it carefully, looking incredulous: "I never thought that such a spiritual herb could still be found in modern times. The person by Su Wen's side didn't lie."

Cheng Dafeng was shocked: "What kind of treasure is it?"

Liang Feng thought for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this herb is called Water Spirit Grass, a spirit grass that grows at the bottom of the water, rare and hard to find. The earliest records of Water Spirit Grass date back over two thousand years. At that time, a fisherman accidentally ate this grass and, upon returning home, found that his strength had increased dramatically, allowing him to lift a five-hundred-pound jar with his bare hands, causing people to marvel. Subsequently, many fishermen went to the seabed to collect this grass, leading to a legendary story."

Cheng Dafeng was dumbfounded: "If eating it can make you lift a five-hundred-pound jar, it truly is a natural treasure."

Liang Feng thought for a moment, nodded, and then shook his head: "The physical condition of ancient people was better than that of modern people. Even without Water Spirit Grass, many people could lift a five-hundred-pound jar. However, while the legend may be somewhat exaggerated, this grass can indeed increase strength and improve physical condition, making it a natural treasure."

Hearing this, Cheng Dafeng felt a bit excited.

He is a genuine martial artist, and such a natural treasure cannot be overlooked. Besides, even if it's not for himself, he must obtain a Water Spirit Grass for Cheng Jin.

He couldn't help but think of Su Wen.

"Old Cheng, if you can find such a spirit grass, your strength might improve even further."

"I know, I'll ask when I get back."

Cheng Dafeng hurriedly left, and Liang Feng showed a thoughtful expression.

Unlike Cheng Dafeng, Liang Feng has a deep understanding of natural treasures.

With the development of modern industry, the environment has been damaged, and many natural treasures have lost their habitats. Many treasures that were passed down from ancient times have gradually disappeared. Every time Liang Feng browsed through ancient texts and saw descriptions of various strange treasures, he felt immense regret and even some anger.

"Water Spirit Grass, this is quite interesting," Liang Feng muttered and slowly walked back.

Cheng Dafeng returned to his residence.

"Grandpa, you're back?" Cheng Jin was already waiting at the door, looking like he had been eagerly waiting for Cheng Dafeng.

"Back," Cheng Dafeng said casually, then added, "Come, let's go find that Su Wen. I have something to ask him."

"Grandpa, is it about the Water Spirit Grass?" Cheng Jin asked excitedly.

"Yes, it's about the Water Spirit Grass," Cheng Dafeng didn't hide it, "I just asked Old Liang, and he told me that the Water Spirit Grass is indeed a natural treasure. After consuming it, it can improve one's physical condition and increase strength."

Cheng Jin was immediately excited: "Grandpa, does Su Wen still have Water Spirit Grass?"

Cheng Dafeng thought for a moment and said, "I've thought about it repeatedly. Chen Yunhao wouldn't tell you about the Water Spirit Grass for no reason. He did it intentionally, aiming to lure us. Think about it, if there was no Water Spirit Grass, what would be the point of setting up this trap? So I guess Su Wen definitely has more Water Spirit Grass and plans to use it for some secret purpose."

Cheng Jin didn't fully understand, but he knew that the Water Spirit Grass was enough.

Cheng Dafeng also knew that his grandson was a bit slow, so he said, "Don't waste time, come with me to find Su Wen. We must get a Water Spirit Grass no matter what."

"Okay, Grandpa!"

Inside the Treasure Hall.

Su Wen casually summoned a hundred-yuan note.

"Boss, you really don't treat money as money!" Chen Yunhao looked at the pile of coins and banknotes in front of Su Wen, even a coin he didn't recognize, and was quite puzzled.

"Money? I have the least of that," Su Wen waved his hand.

He can now recycle coins, banknotes, and ancient coins within a kilometer, so he really isn't short of money. However, compared to coins, there are very few banknotes within a kilometer, and even fewer ancient coins, but it doesn't matter because recycling doesn't consume vitality, so Su Wen doesn't really care.

Cheng Dafeng and Cheng Jin hurried to the Treasure Hall.

Su Wen saw the grandfather and grandson from the second floor and was taken aback: "They fell for it so quickly, looks like the plan is working well!"

Chen Yunhao followed Su Wen's gaze and saw them: "Boss, they're here, they really came, you were right on the mark."

Su Wen gave Chen Yunhao a look: "Don't make a fuss, go tell them I'm not here."

Hearing this, Chen Yunhao was stunned.

Not here?

What does that mean, deliberately teasing them?

But since the boss said it, Chen Yunhao didn't dare to disobey!

As soon as Cheng Jin entered, he shouted, "Chen Yunhao, where's Su Wen? I'm looking for Su Wen!"

Chen Yunhao came down from the second floor, cleared his throat, and said calmly, "The boss is out, not here right now. You can tell me what you need."

Hearing this, Cheng Jin looked at Cheng Dafeng.

Cheng Dafeng coldly snorted, "If Su Wen isn't here, can you make decisions?"

Chen Yunhao nodded, "Of course!"

"Good, sell me two Water Spirit Grasses," Cheng Dafeng blurted out.

Chen Yunhao was stunned, and even Cheng Jin was taken aback. This was truly his grandfather, direct as always!

"What, didn't you hear me?"

Chen Yunhao came to his senses and scratched his head, "Water Spirit Grass, what Water Spirit Grass? Old Mr. Cheng, what are you talking about? I'm young and don't understand anything, don't scare me."

Cheng Dafeng was furious and pointed at Chen Yunhao, "Kid, stop pretending, or I'll beat you up!"

Chen Yunhao was terrified. Was he going to get physical? He didn't sign up for beatings when he started working at the Treasure Hall!
