Reborn As Super Heir Chapter 1866 - 1769: The Wisdom of the Ancients

Chapter 1866: Chapter 1769: The Wisdom of the Ancients

The ancient inkstone before her, as Huo Sining swirled the ink stick in circular motions, the clear water in the hole was replaced by the dense ink, and as the ink in the concave tray grew thicker, the carvings on the two inkstones seed to co alive, gradually evolving dramatically.

From Huo Sining’s standpoint, wisps of thick white mist slowly erged from above the inkstone, coalescing above it and lingering.

anwhile, the two carvings were also continuously transforming.

The scales on the dragon beca more dazzling, even the pearl it held in its mouth seed to be gently spinning, as if the next mont it might breathe out fire and roar towards the sky.

The tiger on the other side extended its sharp claws, their deadly sheen hard to look at directly, making it seem as if it might pounce at any mont.

Both the dragon and the tiger exuded a powerful aura, with vivid black brilliance where the dragon soared and the tiger leapt, lifelike in every detail.

Huo Sining froze, unconsciously stopping the movent of her hand.

As soon as she paused, the dragon and tiger also ceased all motion, as if ti had halted.

Huo Sining instinctively rubbed her eyes with her left hand, thinking she might have seen it wrong.

But as soon as she resud swirling the ink stick, the ink rippled and the dragon and tiger ca to life again. Each ti she stirred the ink stick, their movents differed, yet the mont she stopped, they halted too, as though nothing unusual had occurred.

"Dragon swirling the clouds, tiger leaping the stream, so this is what ’breathing mist akin to clouds’ actually ans, no wonder history books describe it so peculiarly. Is this the wonder of the Shenlong Shenghu Inkstone? No wonder Tang Bohu, after seeing this She Inkstone, never wanted any other inkstone again!"

Huo Sining was overwheld with excitent, finally appreciating the magic of the Shenlong Shenghu Inkstone.

Of course, Huo Sining didn’t believe in the myths, as she had already unraveled the inkstone’s principle using the Heavenly Eye Skill. The secret lay in the holes within the inkstone; when ink filled them, and as the ink in the concave tray swayed, it created ripples. These ripples transmitted into the holes, causing light refraction and resulting in optical illusions that seed like the dragon and tiger were moving.

Huo Sining’s gaze shifted to the Qibao in front of the Qilin Jin Xing Yan, noting that the carvings on that inkstone also transford as Qibao ground ink, with mist slowly emanating from it.

Initially, the mist was faint and sparse, but it gradually thickened, as a Kylin soared and frolicked in the air, with dazzling Venus appearing around it. That Venus glimred dreamily.

Qibao’s grinding motion paused, causing the mist to dissipate slowly. He quickly resud grinding the ink stick, his eyes fixed on the Kylin jumping within the mist, filled with wondernt, and he asked incredulously:

"Sister, is this magic?"

Huo Sining paused, then burst into laughter, couldn’t help but reach out to ruffle Qibao’s head, saying, "No, this isn’t magic, this is ancient wisdom!"

The key to these illusions lay in the seemingly irregular arrangent of holes within the inkstone. Initially, Huo Sining thought the inkstone’s creator had picked poor quality stone, but after comparing the two inkstones and using the Heavenly Eye Skill to repeatedly observe the holes, she realized sothing was amiss.

Her suspicion was confird, aligning with her conjecture, making Huo Sining ecstatic. She acquired these two inkstones at a bargain, especially the Qilin Jin Xing Yan, which she got for free, picking up such a lucky find from Li Changming’s hands that she felt exceedingly pleased.

Even if these two inkstones were damaged, their remarkable histories and reputations, combined with the unique scene just witnessed, were sufficient to dominate as the foremost among the Four Treasures of the Study and top the list of famous inkstones.

Huo Sining felt, even her master Zhou Shitao might not have imagined that such a wondrous ancient inkstone lay within the She Inkstone. She could already envision her high-minded master’s expression after she returned ho, sharing tales of the Shenlong Shenghu Inkstone and Qilin Jin Xing Yan, and presenting the genuine ancient inkstones right before Zhou Shitao.

A divine inkstone isn’t sothing an ordinary person can possess, even with broken corners, they couldn’t compare to any regular inkstone. These were beloved treasures of Ming Dynasty masters like Tang Bohu and Zhu Zhishan.

Huo Sining’s lips unconsciously curled upwards, intense joy accumulating within her chest. She couldn’t help but pull out her phone to call Gu Xu back ho.

When the phone rang, Gu Xu was in a eting, the conference room silent, a manager from the marketing departnt reporting the year-end summary and plans for the group’s new projects for the coming year. Gu Xu stared blankly at the table, tapping lightly with his pen, making the manager unsure of how well his report was being received, as he alternated between reciting the report and anxiously glancing at his boss.

Truth be told, Gu Xu was in no mood to listen to the manager’s annual plan summary, as his mind was preoccupied with thoughts of his wife attending parties in Arica over Christmas, dubious of what might be happening over there, lanting the lack of a call from her, pondering how he’d reprimand her upon her return!

Just as he mused, the phone on the desk vibrated, Gu Xu started, quickly picked up the phone, and upon seeing the caller ID, he couldn’t help but smile, imdiately pressing the call button.

The reporting from the marketing departnt manager halted, subconsciously glancing towards his boss.

Gu Xu’s face brimd with tenderness, his eyes glistening with affection like water about to spill over. The marketing departnt manager was taken aback; he had worked at Shengtang Group for years and never witnessed his usually stern Boss smile so gently!

It was obvious, the manager knew, this call was undoubtedly from the Boss’s wife. Rumor had it within the group, that the Boss indulged his wife excessively, was once a workaholic, endlessly working overti, dragging his staff into his frenzy. Working was unbearable until he began dating and things started changing within the group.
