This time, Li Yi chose the state-owned timber trading market located on Coconut Sea Avenue. In fact, there are more and larger shops here to bet on wood, but because he told Gu Feng that he was betting on yellow rosewood, Gu Feng ranked second here.

This market is different from the wood market they went to yesterday. The merchants' wood is mainly various types of mahogany. Although the average price is much lower than that of Lao Haihuang, the variety and quantity are completely incomparable.

After passing through the normal timber trading area, Gu Feng parked his car in an empty yard. Zheng Shusen got out of the car and saw me, I'll go! This time it was really piled up like a mountain. How should I bet on this?

Li Yi got out of the car and took a look. He said that it was a bit exaggerated, but there were indeed quite a few. The ones I saw in front of me had more than 500 pieces of wood, and there were also many large pieces of material above 50 cm.

"This place is mainly aimed at mahogany furniture manufacturers. Yesterday's market was mainly aimed at Huanghuali vermicelli fans, of course it is different. Gu Feng, you drive and follow us, let's take a walk first."

The focus of Li Yi's visit this time has also changed. Although finding wood with cool air is always the top priority, there are a wide range of mahogany products here, and there are also good materials. The reason why he chose to come here was mainly because he wanted to buy some of the various materials and bring them back.

Different woods often have different carving techniques. If you contact them more, try each one, which should be helpful for the improvement of his carving skills.

But after just looking at more than a dozen stores, Li Yi sighed softly. It seemed that even if he found a wood containing cold air here, it would probably be unlikely to find it out.

Because the wood here is large in large quantities, most of the wood is stacked. Although this stacking method is convenient for Jianling Card to absorb the cool air, after the absorption, he has no way to tell which wood it was absorbed from!

It is impossible to buy a lot of them and search for them slowly, right? What's more, even if you buy them all, it's gone after absorbing the cold air once. Where do you tell him to tell?

Since you can't find wood containing cold air, then focus on buying wood. Anyway, this trip to Hainan is not an empty trip. At least I know that there may be answers he needs in the primeval forests of Hongshan, Vietnam.

Li Yi didn't know much about cold air. Before he found the evil eye, he always believed that it was natural to contain cold air in antiques and gems. However, since he found the cold air in the evil eye and Huanghuali, since he found that the cold air could help him breathe under the water, he was a little confused.

Li Yi once regarded cold air as a criterion for judging whether an object is precious. Even if he found that there might be cold air in living plants, he still insisted on thinking so. However, cold air can help him breathe under the water, which made his understanding of cold air change drastically.

Perhaps, Liangqi is the extremely magical spiritual energy described in various novels?

If it is spiritual energy, it is indeed easier to explain. First of all, as for antiques, it is because humans are the spirit of all things. It is not surprising that they have spiritual energy after being accumulated for a long time.

All kinds of gems are born from the spiritual beauty of the world, and it is easier to understand if you have spiritual energy. As for the demonic eye and Huanghuali, it can be explained with the same reason.

However, if these guesses really hold true, then the spiritual energy created by collecting the essence of heaven and earth will only have such a little effect? ​​Impossible! But how can we find other functions? Do we really need to find two Taoist sects to cultivate immortals?

However, no matter whether others believe it or not, even if he has a treasure like the Spirit Card and Polygonum multiflorum, he does not believe that there is really an immortal cultivation existence, and he will not try it stupidly.

Let's just do it for now. This is his helpless choice after repeated thinking, but what can he do if he doesn't do this?

After letting go of his mind, Li Yi walked towards the shop where two huge logs were thrown at the door.

The diameters of these two logs are more than 40 cm, and the length is more than 3 meters. Li Yi carefully identified it and recognized that one was Huanghuali, and the other should be a rosewood pattern red sandalwood that is somewhat similar to Huanghuali.

Such a large material, if the quality is really good, the price will be quite considerable.

Especially for the Huanghuali, Li Yi also found a tree tumor the size of a baby's head at one end of the wood. Such a big tree tumor had grown on the Huanghuali. It was amazing. This wood must be tens of millions!

Huanghuali is different from other woods. Because its oil contains a special substance that can kill bacteria, it is difficult to become sick. Furniture made of Huanghuali is rarely destroyed due to pests.

Therefore, the tumor on Huanghuali is extremely valuable. If the golden nanmu gloomy tree that Li Yi untied yesterday was replaced with a Huanghuali, because the existence of those tumors may have more than five times more than the value!

There are no tree tumors on Huanghuali, and even if there are, they cannot grow. This is basically a recognized fact. Once a tumor appears, if it is big enough, it is definitely a rare treasure!

Because of the existence of bactericidal substances, even if there are tumors on Huanghuali, the tumor growth rate is very slow, and it often takes hundreds of years to clearly see that it is bigger.

The tumor on this Huanghuali plant is only exposed, which is almost the size of a baby's head. This shows that the tree of this Huanghuali plant can be at least thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years old!

Trees also have a lifespan. Like Li Yi's Polygonum multiflorum, which can grow for more than ten thousand years and is still alive, it is definitely an anomaly among the anomaly. By the same token, this Huanghuali plant is definitely an anomaly.

After confirming these, the first thing that came to Li Yi's mind was cold air. If there was no cold air in such trees, he really didn't know what the cold air was based on.

However, although the scene from perspective made him feel thrilling, there was no cold air in this Huanghuali.

It doesn't matter if there is no cold air, because at this time his mind was completely attracted by the wonders he saw through his perspective, and he didn't even have time to have even a trace of regret and annoyance.

Because he saw a huge tree tumor!

This yellow rosewood plant has a very large diameter, long enough, and has a tumor, but why can't it be sold? Logically, such a product should be very popular no matter how high it is.

Before seeing the internal situation, Li Yi guessed that it might be because he was lucky. The boss had just put it on, but once he looked through it, he understood that it was because of the weight.

The weight of a mahogany is a very important basis for judging whether there is a hole in the middle of a mahogany. Experienced buyers of gambling wood have basically estimated weights based on the tree species, length and diameter. If there is a big deviation in the weight after being weighed, it proves that this wood cannot be gambling, because its interior may have been swallowed by a huge hole.

This is how this yellow rosewood is. Under Li Yi's perspective, except for the sapwood about six or seven centimeters thick, the heart of the wood is basically a large hole, and in this hole is a huge irregular and nearly elliptical flower yellow tumor!

This is like a human mother. A yellow rosewood paid a hollow price to nurture this tumor! The magic of creation is like this!

Such a large hole that almost emptys the entire wood, of course the weight is wrong. Not to mention those veterans, even an ordinary person who knows that the internal situation should be judged by the weight, would not be able to bet on this wood!

This wood is like a gift God has prepared specifically for Li Yi’s perspective!

After changing several directional perspectives, Li Yi basically confirmed that the weight of this tumor should be at least 70 kilograms, and such a large tumor means that this Huanghuali has survived for at least tens of thousands of years!

What a sin, an ancient tree that has been tens of thousands of years has been tragically damaged by humans just because it is a yellow flower pear! How many storms have it experienced and how many natural disasters have it escaped in the past tens of thousands of years? But in the end, it was still in the hands of humans, who are known as the spirit of all things!

After putting away his feelings in his heart and carefully checking the wood situation, Li Yi couldn't help but feel grateful to the wood-betting expert who helped to solve the wood. If he hadn't accurately judged the specific size and location of the hole, how could such a top-notch person bet on him?

Although the inside is empty, the price of this material should not be too easy to talk about because of the existence of the tree tumor. Li Yi decided to look at the rosewood next to him again. At that time, he would still be able to confuse the boss.

Just like mahogany, there are many types of red sandalwood itself. It is clearly recorded in "Huaxia Tree Taxonomy" that there are about fifteen types. However, in the true sense, the true meaning of red sandalwood, which is what we call red sandalwood since ancient times, is the "small-leafed red sandalwood" we often call now.

Rosewood cannot be made into a material for a thousand years, and it is the real "ninety-nine-empty-empty-empty". The largest red sandalwood discovered so far is only more than 20 cm in diameter, and its preciousness can be imagined.

In the mid-Qing Dynasty, due to the shortage of rosewood, the royal family also purchased rosewood from private merchants from time to time. The Qing Palace Construction Office recorded the purchase of rosewood almost every year. During this period, an unwritten rule gradually formed, that is, no matter which level of officials, they would never let go of the rosewood whenever they saw it, they would buy it as much as possible and hand it over to the royal family or weaving institutions in various places.

After the mid-Qing Dynasty, all the wood stockpiled by private merchants in various places was bribed. These woods were almost gone after the Old Summer Palace and the Palace of the Supreme Emperor, Tongzhi, Guangxu's wedding and Cixi's 60th birthday. By the time of Yuan Shikai, all the remaining red sandalwood had been used up.
