Transmigrated into a Grandpa, Embracing the Laid-Back Life

Chapter 221: The Path to Heaven Through a Hundred Arts: Restoration

A few low chuckles came from the surroundings.

Zhang Lie sat high on the main viewing platform, his gaze coldly sweeping over this area without a word.

Su Ming put down his brush. "Reporting to the steward, this disciple is not ignorant, but rather dares not confirm." He pointed at the brocade box. "This item's appearance and spiritual pressure are indeed identical to the 'Fusion Fire Gold Crystal' recorded in the classics."

Zhao Yin's face grew even more smug. "Then that means..."

"However," Su Ming interrupted him, his voice clear, "when this disciple was organizing the yearly archives in the Repair Hall, I once saw a record. Three years ago, the Vessel Hall recalled a batch of 'Fire Spirit Jade' due to issues. Its appraisal summary mentioned an extremely sophisticated counterfeiting technique: using Flowing Fire Jade as the skin and Vermilion Flame Stone as the core, supplemented with specific fire seals, can mimic a high-grade fire spirit object. However, if 'Samadhi Gentle Fire' is used to scorch a single point, the skin chars, the core is exposed, and the spiritual energy disperses."

His fingertip, at some unknown moment, was already pinching a lowest-grade "Fire Gathering Talisman." With a slight release of spiritual energy, the talisman ignited without wind, transforming into a small, pale yellow flame with constant temperature but extremely concentrated heat.

"What are you doing?!" Zhao Yin's face changed, and he reached out to stop him.

Su Ming's movements were faster. That small flame was already suspended just over an inch above the "Fusion Fire Gold Crystal," meticulously scorching a specific point with gentle fire.

"A genuine Fusion Fire Gold Crystal has an extremely Yang nature and stable quality. When encountering this gentle fire, it should contain its radiance internally, with golden light naturally arising." Su Ming's tone was steady. "But if it is the fabricated object recorded in that account..."

Before his words finished."Sizzle..."

A faint sound, like hot oil dripping into water, was heard.

That crystal-clear, translucent crystal, at the point continuously scorched by the flame, actually emitted a wisp of nearly invisible black smoke. Its originally perfect surface rapidly charred and cracked!

Immediately after, the cracks spread. The outer layer, that radiant, colorful "skin shell," peeled off in pieces, revealing a dull-colored, rough-textured, weakly spiritual dark red stone core inside—precisely the cheapest Vermilion Flame Stone!

Silence.

Deadly silence.
