Gu Peng arranged a wooden house for Shen Qi, so that Shen Qi could rest there and wait for the antique appraisal meeting to begin in the evening.
Although Shen Qi was in the room, he could not hide the situation around him at all. He could sense clearly the movements of everyone in the Gu family.
At noon, two young men went up the mountain with food and medicinal herbs, and did not return until two o'clock in the afternoon.
When they came back, the two young men looked a little lost, not knowing what had happened.
Starting at two o'clock in the afternoon, the Gu family began to practice in the yard. Even Gu Peng and Gu Chuan were no exception and did not slack off at all.
The training cycle of ancient martial arts is very long. It is difficult to get started and even more difficult to master. Without extraordinary talent, one is not qualified to practice ancient martial arts at all. Even after mastering it, one cannot relax for a moment, otherwise one will inevitably stop and will never be able to explore the true meaning of ancient martial arts. That is why the Gu family let those clansmen who lack talent to manage the family business, leaving those who are talented and can endure hardships to practice ancient martial arts.
It is in this way that they can be passed down.
Around five in the afternoon, the helipad began to get busy. Four private planes landed within an hour. They must be people from other ancient martial arts families.
Gu Chuan came to Shen Qi's room and said:
"Mr. Shen Qi, let me introduce you first. The four ancient martial arts families that are here this time are the Feng, Meng, Yin, and Zu families. All four family heads are here, and they have brought along the most outstanding descendants of their families. I will introduce them to you one by one at the tasting event. Shall we go to the venue now?"
Shen Qi nodded and followed Guchuan to the tasting venue.
Although the tasting session had not yet begun, many people had already arrived, many of whom were not members of the Gu family.
When Guchuan brought Shen Qi into the venue, everyone turned their heads to look at Shen Qi.
Shen Qi didn't say anything and didn't show any special expression, but everyone present was a master of ancient martial arts with excellent eyesight. They could tell at a glance that Shen Qi was extraordinary. Coupled with the video that Gu Peng had shown them, there was a clear difference in the way they looked at Shen Qi.
While they were looking at Shen Qi, Shen Qi also noticed four people with extraordinary demeanor.
An old man in a Zhongshan suit, with a flat head and some white hair, but he looks energetic and his eyes are stern, which makes people feel a strong pressure.
This person's name is Feng Jue, the head of the Feng family.
A man was holding a crutch and looked very old, as if a gust of wind could blow him down, but Shen Qi could feel a powerful force from his body, proving that he was definitely not as simple as he looked.
This man's name is Meng Shan, the head of the Meng family.
A dark-skinned middle-aged man, dressed in very ordinary clothes with a distinct rustic feel, and even the cloth shoes on his feet were stained with some mud. If he had not appeared in such an occasion, ordinary people would probably think he was a genuine farmer when they saw him.
But from the middle-aged man's actions and steps, it can be seen that he also has some skills. Even if three or five people like Guchuan come, they may not be his match.
This person's name is Yin Kong, the head of the Yin family.
A young man who looks to be in his twenties, dressed in trendy clothes, full of youthful aura, and wearing Bluetooth headphones in his ears. If he were thrown into a crowd, he would instantly blend in with the young people in the city and would be unrecognizable at all.
But Shen Qi could see that the other party had extraordinary cultivation. Although he looked extremely relaxed, his body was in a combat state at all times, ready to deliver the strongest attack at any time. Even when talking to people around him, this state would not change at all!
This man's name is Zu Zhao, the new patriarch of the Zu family. He is also the youngest patriarch in the ancient martial arts family, bar none.
Guchuan whispered to Shen Qi about the origins of these people to avoid any misunderstandings.
When Feng Jue, Meng Shan, Yin Kong and Zu Zhao were looking Shen Qi up and down, Gu Peng came in.
"Brother Feng, Brother Meng, Brother Yin, and nephew Zu, welcome! I'm truly delighted that you're here this time. Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Shen Qi."
Feng Jue and the other three all bowed, "We have long heard of your great name."
Shen Qi nodded slightly, but did not say anything more. His action caused some dissatisfaction among Feng Jue and the other three.
Although the ancient martial arts inheritance family is not well-known in Xia Country, no one can underestimate their power, because the power they possess is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
However, unless there are special circumstances, they will not go out, but will follow the ancestral precepts of seclusion. Therefore, they have a high opinion of themselves and will not easily take other people seriously. Even for behemoths like the Chen family in Jiangnan and the Wang family in Beijing, they will not care too much.
In their opinion, they focused their main energy on practicing ancient martial arts and were not so interested in business, so their family was not so large. If they focused on doing business and expanding the size of their family, they would definitely be able to surpass the Chen family in Jiangnan and the Wang family in Beijing.
This is the heritage of their ancient martial arts family!
But now, Shen Qi's attitude towards them was obviously arrogant. How could they tolerate this?
If they hadn't thought about how amazing Shen Qi's performance in defeating Gu Chuan was, they would have probably attacked on the spot and asked the younger generation of the family to go up and kill Shen Qi's prestige.
Gu Peng was also the patriarch of a family that inherited ancient martial arts, so he naturally understood the thoughts of Feng Jue and the other three. He hurriedly said, "Since everyone is here and there are no outsiders, let's start our tasting session."
"Chuan'er, take out what you prepared for your father and let everyone taste it."
"yes!"
Furukawa turned and walked into the next room, and soon came out with a wooden box.
When everyone saw Furukawa holding a wooden box in his hand, their eyes suddenly lit up.
Top quality rosewood!
The wooden box is actually made of the finest rosewood!
The finest red sandalwood is quite precious, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is worth a fortune. If ordinary people get the finest red sandalwood, they will definitely treasure it and not give it out easily. But at this time, this finest red sandalwood has been made into a wooden box to hold other items. How can they not feel that it is a waste of resources?
Shen Qi also saw the rosewood box and was slightly shocked. Gu Peng's action was somewhat similar to his use of mahogany boxes to store his collections. However, his collection was too large. Even if he lived for hundreds of years, it would be impossible for him to collect so much top-quality rosewood to make wooden boxes. Therefore, he could only settle for the second best and use mahogany.
Although Shen Qi has not used his spiritual sense to explore what treasures are inside the wooden box, he is sure that anything that Gu Peng treats like this must be extremely precious, so he doesn't use his spiritual sense to explore it. He waits for Gu Chuan to open the wooden box and see what treasures are inside.
Doing so might give him some surprises.
