    While Zhang Tie swept away the dust on a counter and saw the contents inside, Gerry and Sam, driven by great curiosity, quickly swept away the dust on a counter next to Zhang Tie, revealing the counter.  The true appearance of those things below.

    Even after a thousand years, under the complete sealing protection of the counter, there is still not much dust on the items inside the counter, which makes the contents inside even more clear.

    Under the green light of the three people¡¯s fluorite lamps, the things inside the counter became even more dazzling, like a deep dream that had been buried for thousands of years.

    "Thisthese things are" At this time, both Gerry and Sam were a little uncertain. An uncertain thought flashed through their heads, but this thought was facing the first floor.  When the counter was full of things, it suddenly became "scary", so that both of them couldn't believe that what they saw could be real.

    Zhang Tie was also stunned. His mood at the moment was similar to that of Sam and Gerry. They both couldn't believe that they would have such luck, because even in this era, near the flea markets near the Black Rock City train station  , there are often scammers who use green or dark glass products to pretend to be expensive special gemstones that are only produced in the East to lure fools who want to get rich.

    This precious gem, even before the great catastrophe, was a symbol of status and wealth for a few people in the Eastern Continent, or more accurately, the Chinese people. In this era, with the emergence of alchemists, this gem has become more and more popular.  was given another, more shocking meaning.

    This precious gem is called jade!

    Unique jadeite.

    In this era, this gemstone has another name outside of the Eastern Continent - the Stone of Eternal Life.

    Before the Cataclysm, this kind of gem was very precious, but it was not outrageous. Compared with the gems such as diamonds that people respected at that time, there was still a huge price gap.  But in this era, the values ??of the two have been reversed.

    "No one would be so boring as to sell fakes here 900 years ago." Zhang Tie looked at the various green jewelry and pendants on the counter, and a strange idea came to his mind.

    "Peter"

    Hearing Gerry shouting about his life, Zhang Tie turned his head and glanced at Gerry and Sam, who were looking nervous. It was obvious that the two of them had guessed something.  But it was really scary, and they couldn't help but feel nervous.

    "You'll know after you see it" Zhang Tie smiled. Even though he was not short of money now, he felt that his throat was still a little dry when he said this.

    Zhang Tiezheng was about to take action, but Sam rushed up the stairs, "You are below. I'm watching from above!"

    Zhang Tie knew that Seim was keeping watch for two people upstairs. Although Zhang Tie didn't believe that anyone else would dare to rush in and disturb them, at this time, it was always right to be careful.

    After Sam went up, Gerry did not dare to take action easily, but looked at Zhang Tie.

    Taking a deep breath, Zhang Tie punched the counter in front of him.

    The counter made a sound.  A layer of dust fell off, but the whole thing was intact. Zhang Tie was a little stunned. Although the punch he just used only used three points of force, it was still very amazing, even if the punch in front of him was a piece of iron.  plate.  It could probably leave a fist mark, but when it hit the counter that looked like it was made of glass, there was no movement.

    "Before the Cataclysm, the counters of stores selling precious gems and valuables were not ordinary glass, but special synthetic materials like glass made by humans at that time to protect the things inside the counter.  It is safe when encountering robbers and various accidents. This material looks similar to glass, but it is harder than steel!" Gerry explained on the side.

    Zhang Tie smiled slightly awkwardly and stopped trying to smash the counter open with violence.  Instead, he went behind the counter and groped around. There was a movable sliding door behind the counter. Zhang Tie just groped for a while, and used the brute force of his hands to pull off the rusted lock on the sliding door, and then easily opened the counter.  Take out one thing inside.

    That was a bracelet, a dark green bracelet. With Zhang Tie's discernment, which he had honed in the grocery store, he immediately judged that this bracelet was definitely not glass, and it was completely different from any gems and stones he had ever seen.

    There wasn't much dust on the bracelet, and it looked particularly beautiful. When I had a chat with that guy Tang De before, that guy Tang De once told Zhang Tie some crude ways to identify true and false jadeite, but at that time Tang De laughed and said, I'm afraid Zhang Tie  It is rare in my life that I have the opportunity to see someoneWhat is the real stone of eternal life?  In this era, the Stone of Eternal Life from the Eastern Continent has basically been taken into the hands of the powerful forces in the Chinese race, and has become a forbidden object for the alchemists of the Eastern Continent. Even if there is a small amount of leakage, those who can obtain the Stone of Immortality will not be able to obtain it.  He was definitely not an ordinary person. At that time, Zhang Tie's daily pocket money was only a few copper coins. He didn't even dare to eat a bowl of rice wine for a few copper coins at home. How could he make Tang De  I believe he will have the opportunity to come into contact with this precious gem in his life.

    Zhang Tie gently placed the bracelet he was holding on his face.

    Instantly, a cool feeling came out from the bracelet.

    Taking out the lighter, Zhang Tie unceremoniously put the bracelet he was holding on to the flame of the lighter.

    After more than ten seconds passed, Zhang Tie removed the lighter and wiped the area where the bracelet had been exposed to the high temperature with his sleeve - everything about the bracelet was as before, with no discoloration at all, and the texture was as smooth as new.

    As a pioneer, Gerry certainly knows the simplest way to roughly distinguish the authenticity of this precious gemstone. Not to mention the low-grade green glass used to deceive people in this era, even before the catastrophe, the same  There are many fake jadeite.

    When Zhang Tie was wiping the bracelet clean, Gerry also nervously moved his head over. Lest he could not look carefully enough, Gerry also lifted the fluorite lamp hanging on his waist and moved it closer. When he saw Zhang Tie  After wiping the iron, the bracelet remained unchanged. Gerry took a breath of air-conditioning, and then looked at the circle of counters covered by dust on the first floor. Gerry suddenly felt that his brain was a little congested. He swayed a little and stood a little.  Can't stand it.

    The most urgent task is to get rid of these things in front of you, and get them away without alerting anyone.
