Chapter 147 147. A flawed formation

There were twelve people in total who went upstairs, including the boss.

The eight of them were Jinjiu, Fu Hong, and six bodyguards.

Among the other four people, three are experienced stone-cutting masters, Master Qiu is one of them, and the other is the boss.

As for those people from major jade shops who wanted to buy glass-type imperial green, they were all arranged by the boss in the reception room on the first floor.

After all, they are all outsiders to the Jade Building. Fu Hong and the bodyguards are allowed to go upstairs because of Jinjiu's face. After all, the owner of the jade is Jinjiu, and it is certainly not justified not to allow people to bring bodyguards upstairs.

"Let professionals handle the decomposition of jade. I wonder if Miss Jin is interested in taking a look at my private collection?"

Jin Jiu glanced at Fu Hong, who nodded slightly: "Miss, if you are interested, you can go and have a look. I will stay to check the progress of decomposing the jade."

It is said that he is checking the progress of jade decomposition, but in fact he is also supervising the work of the three stone-cutting masters.

After all, these three stone-cutting masters are all from the Jade Building.

All six bodyguards followed Fu Hong, and there was no one around Jin Jiu. Firstly, she didn't need them, and secondly, it was not convenient to bring outsiders into a private collection, not to mention that there was no one else around the boss.

"May I know Miss Jin's name?" The boss only knew Jin Jiu's last name because it was displayed when she paid, but he didn't know her specific name.

"Today's wine."

The boss frowned slightly when he heard the name, because he always felt that the name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

"My name is Wang Wenchang, the owner of the Jade Building." Boss Wang couldn't remember so he just gave up thinking about it.

He brought the wine to his own 'treasure house'.

"I like to collect things all my life, whether it's jade or antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Miss Jin can take a look. If there is anything you like, I am willing to give a suitable price."

Although you say you are willing to offer a suitable price, in reality the other party has the final say on whether the price is appropriate or not.

Jinjiu was very clear that Boss Wang brought him here with some intention of currying favor with him. Needless to say, the purpose was naturally for that piece of glass-type imperial green.

The other party wanted to use his private collection in exchange for the opportunity to purchase glass-type imperial green, but since it was a private collection, it must be something the person loved extremely and was reluctant to give up.

If Jin Jiu takes a fancy to something that Boss Wang is unwilling to give, then the price will naturally be high;

If it can be parted, the other party will definitely sell it at a low price in order to get the opportunity to buy glass-type imperial green.

Although the price will not be much lower, we can see from today's wine that the things here are extraordinary and the value given by money is still limited. What is truly rare is that there is a price but no demand.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang, for the opportunity." Although Jinjiu was not interested in other people's collections, she could keenly notice that there was something different here as soon as she entered the door.

She walked around the shelf and her eyes fell on a porcelain vase.

Boss Wang saw this and stepped forward and said with a smile, "This is a famille rose hollowed-out rotating vase from the Qianlong period. Does Miss Jin like it?"

Jin Jiu shook his head slightly: "Don't take away what others like. Besides, this thing is not just a porcelain bottle."

Boss Wang was a little surprised.

He really didn't expect that Jinjiu could actually see that he liked this pink-colored hollow revolving bottle, and he didn't expect that the other party could actually see that there were other secrets on this porcelain bottle.

However... thinking about what I had inquired about, it was understandable that the other party was able to open a piece of high ice floating flowers and a piece of glass-type imperial green today, and even bought four pieces of seemingly ordinary raw stones on the way, but each piece was cut to increase in value.

The young lady in front of me, who looks ordinary, definitely has other abilities.

"I wonder if Miss Jin could tell you what you have seen?" Boss Wang's tone couldn't help but become respectful.

This is the way the world is, people with ability will always be more respected.

"A flawed formation." Jinjiu said bluntly.

As soon as she entered the room, she discovered that the feng shui of this private storage room was excellent, but the feng shui here was partly due to the right time and place, and more of it was due to external factors.

The external object here is the formation.

The owner of this place should have asked a master for help to set up a formation similar to the one that gathers energy and circulates spirits.

If this formation was placed in the world where Jinjiu once lived, it would only be considered a low-level cultivation formation that only beginners would use. But in this world, it is also considered an excellent formation that can keep ancient artifacts intact and can even nourish them.

But as Jiu said, this is an incomplete formation, and the effect is far less than what Jiu imagined.

It is impossible to nourish antiquity, but it is possible to preserve it from decay over time.

Boss Wang's eyes lit up, and his attitude became more humble, his tone even more earnest: "Miss, do you have any way to solve the defect?"

Boss Wang knew that what Jinjiu said was true.

This formation was created when he accidentally saved a Taoist priest in his early years. The Taoist priest knew that he loved collecting antiques, so he set up a formation for him.

However, he felt regretful after setting up the formation. He had only learned this formation from ancient books, and unfortunately the ancient books were so damaged that he could only barely recognize a few things and constructed such a flawed formation.

After hearing that a complete formation could nourish ancient artifacts, Boss Wang once spent a large sum of money to find someone to piece together a complete formation, but unfortunately nothing was obtained.

If Jinjiu could solve this problem for him, he would definitely be willing to open up his private collection and let her choose.

It doesn't matter if you choose the treasure in the center, after all, there are many treasures in the center, but a good formation can nurture so many ancient artifacts, which is really a very cost-effective deal.

"Of course there is a way, but the formation here has been in place for too long and has long been deeply rooted and cannot be modified."

Boss Wang felt a little regretful: "Do we have to modify the formation?"

He thought that since it was an incomplete formation, he just needed to fill in the missing parts.

Jin Jiu seemed to see what he was thinking, and slowly said: "An incomplete formation has no effect. The reason why it is effective is because someone modified it based on the incomplete formation, making it another formation that can barely be considered complete."

It's like a matching set of clothes but missing pants. Those who are capable can find another pair that doesn't match but can be worn. Although you can still go out this way, it will also be ugly.

If you want to change into matching clothes, you naturally have to take off your original pants before you can change into the matching clothes.

Boss Wang didn't understand all this, but he could also understand Jinjiu's meaning, which was that if he wanted to change the formation, he had to start over again.

But he certainly couldn't bear to do so, because the Taoist priest said that the formation must not be destroyed easily, otherwise the several ancient artifacts that serve as the core of the formation would be damaged to a certain extent. The pastel-colored hollow rotating bottle that Jinjiu just mentioned was one of them.
