It seems that this man doesn't believe what he said, but Li Yi has no intention of arguing with him. No matter how clever his counterfeiting methods are, they will definitely be useless for the fibers in the paper.

"Sir, are you kidding? If this painting is real, it will be priceless. Even if it is only a little bit of damage, it will greatly affect its value!"

The man immediately shook his head, what a joke, this was sent by the customer here to appraise, but they had even given the deposit to others. The reason why they took it out and appraise it again is because there will be a grand auction tonight.

They originally planned to use this thing as the finale of this auction, so they carefully verified it again and again.

"If this thing is true, I'll buy it!"

Li Yi said disrespectfully.

"I said sir, you'd better stop talking. This painting is not something that ordinary people can afford. According to our latest valuation, this painting is worth at least 28 million!"

"Isn't it just 28 million? What's so great about it? Let's just be a little straightforward. It's getting dark now. Are you going to collect this thing here?"

Xia Qi said as he took out two medium-grade spirit stones from his storage bag. According to Lao Gui and his previous estimate, the two should be able to perfectly solve all the problems of Tuya Company.

"Sir, please wait for me...My God! Is this an energy stone?"

There was a little disdain on the man's face, because they were too young, so he didn't think about anything good to them.

But he never expected that Xia Qi would actually take two energy stones with one move.

"That's right, it should be what you call the so-called energy stone. I don't know if you collect this thing here?"

Looking at the surprised expression on the man's face, Xia Qi smiled all over.

He won 1.5 million medium-grade spirit stones from Li Wudao, and he has no feeling about this thing now.

If you just say that you practice and use it yourself, it will be enough for him to use it with more than 100,000 yuan. According to his qualifications, if you don’t pay attention to everyone, you may be able to reach the real realm for thirty or fifty years.

However, only God knows how much strength is that hard to build, the real combat power is.

"Sir, can I take a look at this thing myself?"

The man just glanced at the eyeball and couldn't move it away. He immediately stood up and never cared about the damn painting.

With this baby, why do you want that painting?

If you want to talk about suppressing this product, what else is more appealing than this one?

Nowadays, in this small world of Tianmen, energy is the basis of everything, and energy stones are also the necessary strategic reserve materials for every city. The energy they use in their daily lives is also extracted from waste residue from energy stones.

This kind of energy is very complex. After a series of special reactions, although the energy released is very huge, it cannot be absorbed by the monks. After the designs by these genius designers, it becomes the energy needed for ordinary people's daily life.

This kind of energy stone, even the lowest-grade energy stone, can provide huge energy for the city's defense system.

Yuncheng's defense system is very large, and at least five low-grade energy stones are needed to supplement each year. There are also many wealthy families, with disciples or elders practicing in the Potian Sect. In order to ensure the safety of their families, a defensive magic array was set up at home.

However, although the defensive magic array is absolutely reliable in terms of safety, it consumes also huge amounts. It is impossible to use the complicated energy provided by ordinary energy machines, so it can only spend a lot of money to buy energy stones.

It is normal to use mortal money to buy monks’ things. It is impossible to spend a few dollars occasionally, of course, at a sky-high price.

So this thing is hard to find, and it is definitely the most intimate commodity in Yuncheng, no doubt about it.

No, in fact, it is not just Yuncheng, but any city under the eight major sects, the energy stone is absolutely hard currency.

As long as this thing is available, it is easier to use than any gold and silver. Although it is not a necessity of life, it is a strategic material that no city can refuse.

The small world of Tianmen is relatively abundant, so the various wild beasts are huge in size. However, due to the limitations of the rules, it is difficult for these wild beasts to become monsters, but they have embarked on another path of evolution.

As their body size gradually expands, their intelligence will become lower and lower, until they will eventually become ferocious beasts with no thoughts and only know their bloodthirsty instincts.

Of course, there will always be exceptions among all, so those vicious beasts with wisdom that appear occasionally will become the kings of murderers. Every few decades, there will always be ferocious beasts attacking human cities.

Although countless scholars have been trying to grow the reason for the formation of this beast tide, they have never heard of anyone's research or any results have actually appeared in thousands of years.

Since no one can figure out what this thing is going on, we can't find a fundamental solution. People can only passively defend. Fortunately, whenever the eight major sects arrive at the beast tide, they will send their own disciples to participate in the city's defense.

But they are only responsible for those ferocious beasts that exceed the defense limit of the defensive magic array, and the remaining ordinary ferocious beasts have to be solved by people themselves.

Of course, as long as it is a war, there will be no one who will die. Take Yuncheng as an example. The latest beast tide was thirty years ago. The city guards suffered heavy casualties. If it weren't for the elder of the Potian Sect's actions, the entire Yuncheng would have been destroyed.

The natural environment has changed a lot over the years. The energy stones in the entire Yuncheng are in stock. The energy stones purchased every year can barely meet strategic reserves and daily needs. This year it is even worse. So far, there are only eight low-grade energy stones in the entire Yuncheng.

This means that if no new energy stones appear, Yuncheng will have to stop the energy supply in all non-essential areas, and when the beast tide comes, it will have to increase the loss of non-essential personnel.

To put it bluntly, human lives need to be used to fill the gap in the energy stone.

However, the energy stone that Xia Qi took out was crystal clear. Although it was not tested by the instrument, based on his experience, at least it was a medium-grade energy stone.

If his guess is correct, this thing will be worth at least billions of Bitels. More importantly, if the cloud management committee gets this thing, there will be more strategic reserves this year!
