Uncle Xu was an experienced and knowledgeable person. He had seen all kinds of strange people, but to be able to make the mysterious power of the Spring and Autumn Fox Jade disappear without a trace through glass … it was unimaginable and unheard of!
No wonder Young Master Guangping and Young Miss were in awe of him …
This young man was not simple. He must not be underestimated!
Pei Feng did not pay attention to their expressions. He was still observing the rest of the collections. Uncle Xu had only introduced a small part of them. He still needed to identify the rest himself.
To be honest, he was very disappointed. He was no longer interested in this antique collection exchange.
Even the so-called magic weapon in the finale was only at this level. The rest of the collections were not even worth mentioning. He was afraid … he had come for nothing.
"Young Master Guangping, Young Miss, Mr. Pei, let's go. The banquet is about to start."
Just as Uncle Xu suggested leaving, Pei Feng's eyes suddenly turned cold. He strode toward the westernmost corner of the exhibition hall.
"Mr. Pei, what's wrong?"
Zhou Wanqiu was the first to follow. She was now full of curiosity about Pei Feng. This young guru had too many unimaginable methods!
Pei Feng did not pay attention to her. He stared at the collection in the display case in front of him.
It was a piece of wood, a piece of black charcoal, deformed and ugly wood.
It had no luster, was full of potholes, and its surface was cracked and mottled. It looked like a burnt and deformed lump of wood. Compared to the Spring and Autumn Fox Jade, it was far inferior.
"This piece is called Thunderstruck Wood. Its origin is unknown. It is said that this piece of wood has the magical effect of attracting lightning from the sky. Every time there is a thunderstorm, it will be visited by lightning. But it is strange. If normal wood is struck by lightning, it will burn and turn into coke. But this piece of wood has never caught fire. There are only burn marks left, so it is called Thunderstruck Wood. "
At that moment, Uncle Xu no longer dared to look down on Pei Feng. With a hint of respect, he slowly said, "This piece of Thunderbolt Wood is the private collection of Spring Echo Corporation's Mr. Yang. For it, Mr. Yang specially built a cellar to store it. However, there's still endless trouble. The cellar is always struck by lightning, and after a long time, he's also annoyed. He's always wanted to sell this piece of Thunderbolt Wood, but unfortunately … no one is willing to accept it."
Pei Feng turned a deaf ear to his words. He only stared quietly at the piece of Thunderstruck Wood in front of him. A rare smile gradually appeared on his face.
"Director Yang of the Spring Sound Group?"
After a long time, he suddenly turned his head to look at Uncle Xu and said in a deep voice, "Can you help me contact him? I want this piece of Thunderstruck Wood. Let him name a price. "
Uncle Xu was stunned.
This was different from other collections. For other collections, he had to use all sorts of persuasion to get them, but this piece of Thunderbolt Wood … Mr. Yang had begged him to include it in the collection list of the Antique Collection Exchange Reception. He wanted to sell this piece of broken wood that had been tormenting him for more than twenty years as soon as possible.
Before he could speak, Zhou Guangping spoke again, "Mr. Pei, since you like it, just take it. Let Uncle Xu handle Mr. Yang's side."
As long as there was a chance to get close to Pei Feng, he would not let it go. This was what Mr. Zhou had personally told him — in order to make this young Grandmaster the Zhou family's Senior Guest, he had to do whatever it took!
Not to mention the Immortal Abode that was worth hundreds of millions, the Spring and Autumn Fox Jade and this piece of Thunderbolt Wood were no problem at all.
If he could get a Transcendent Grandmaster on his side, wealth and status would be nothing.
"Uncle Xu, is there a problem?"
Uncle Xu smiled at Zhou Guangping and nodded. "Of course, Young Master Guangping. Since you've asked, you can count on me. Don't worry."
Pei Feng looked at Zhou Guangping and said seriously, "Okay, since you've said so … Brother Zhou, I'll accept this favor. Thank you."
When he had "destroyed" the Spring and Autumn Fox Jade, Zhou Guangping had taken the blame for him, but he had ignored him. But he had solemnly expressed his gratitude for this piece of Thunderbolt Wood. It was clear that in his heart, this piece of Thunderbolt Wood was much more important than the Spring and Autumn Fox Jade. He valued this piece of Thunderbolt Wood very much.
He opened the display case and took out the Thunderbolt Wood. In a short while, a transparent glass box containing the Thunderbolt Wood was handed to Pei Feng.
Pei Feng took the box and looked at the piece of Thunderstruck Wood inside. Her eyes sparkled, and she looked as if she couldn't bear to part with it.
To the side, Zhou Guangping and Zhou Wanqiu looked at each other and saw the astonishment in each other's eyes.
In their eyes, Pei Feng had always been a calm, aloof, and proud master.
When Elder Zhou had given him the key to the Immortal Abode, his expression had been calm and indifferent. He hadn't even said a word of thanks. Clearly, he hadn't cared about the Immortal Abode, which was worth hundreds of millions.
But now … this piece of black and ugly Thunderbolt Wood had not only moved him, but it had also made him personally acknowledge it and say "thank you." This was unbelievable!
If she told her grandfather about this, he would definitely be overjoyed!
But … what kind of treasure was this Thunderbolt Wood? Could it be more valuable and magical than the Spring and Autumn Fox Jade?
As a woman, Zhou Wanqiu couldn't suppress the strong curiosity in her heart. She moved closer to Pei Feng and asked softly, "Mr. Pei, what's so magical about this Thunderbolt Wood? Is it more magical than the Spring and Autumn Fox Jade? "
Pei Feng smiled and looked at Uncle Xu. "Didn't you ask what a real magic tool is?"
Uncle Xu's expression suddenly froze. He cried out involuntarily, "Could it be … this Thunderbolt Wood is a real magic tool?!"
"Hmm … Strictly speaking, it's not yet."
Pei Feng gently closed the glass box and said lightly, "After some time, when I finish forging it, this piece of wood will become a real magic tool with the power of magic."
"Mr. Pei, you know how to forge magic tools?"
"Don't ask. I'll tell you what you need to know."
At this point, he looked around the exhibition hall and shook his head. "There's nothing worth seeing here. I won't attend the following banquet. There's no need to waste time."
"Are you going back to the Autumn Mountain Villa?"
Zhou Guangping and Zhou Wanqiu looked at each other and said in unison, "Then we won't attend the following banquet either. Let's go back together."
The purpose of their visit was to accompany Pei Feng to look at his collection and make him happy. Now that they had achieved their goal, there was no need to stay.
…
When he returned to the hall again, everyone looked at him in a different way.
Most of the people in the hall were young people. Many elders were meeting and chatting in private in the smaller halls and hadn't appeared in the hall yet.
In the eyes of these young second generations, Pei Feng was no longer the poor loser who swindled money and women to get in.
