    After all, the jade bottle is not a jade bowl, and it is not easy to empty it out. Moreover, a jade bottle with such a complex pattern is generally only used as a decorative ornament, not a practical object, so it is generally not possible to empty the bottle, let alone polish the contents.  It's as smooth as a mirror, which is even more rare.

    "What is this jade bottle used for?"

    Meng Zitao held the jade bottle in his hand and observed it carefully. He felt a little strange in his heart. He tried to identify it with his supernatural power. He was sure that it was a jade from the early Ming Dynasty, but its value was extremely high, higher than he imagined.

    Cheng Qiheng saw that the jade bottle Meng Zitao was holding was a practical instrument, and felt a little strange: "What period is this from?"

    "The characteristics of the ornamentation should be from the Ming Dynasty." Meng Zitao replied.

    "I think since this bottle is so valuable, it must not be used for drinking water. It should be used to store some very valuable things. Could it be some very precious elixirs or medicinal liquids?" Cheng Qiheng guessed.  said.

    Yu Xingyan said: "Don't all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty have the idea of ??cultivating immortals? I think this jade bottle should be used by the palace to hold elixirs and spiritual liquids."

    "Ecological liquid" Meng Zitao's eyes flickered slightly. The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Their words made him think that this thing might really be used to hide the spiritual liquid. For example, he can use it every day now.  The spirit fluid obtained.

    Speaking of which, the spiritual liquid he carries around now is basically diluted, because he later discovered that if it is the original spiritual liquid, if it is left out for a long time, its effect will become worse and worse, and its concentration will become lower and lower.

    However, if you use a high-quality jade bottle, then its storage time can be longer, but there is a limit. The concentration of up to 30% is already the limit. Of course, even with this concentration, the original  With the help of Meng Zitao's medical skills, Da Jun was still saved from the brink of death. If the concentration was 100%, Da Jun would not need to rest for so long later.

    However, Meng Zitao has never found a suitable container to hold the original liquid of spiritual liquid. If it is filled with the best jade, it can only be stored for a few days, and the concentration will slowly reduce to 30%. For this reason, he is quite happy.  Distressed.

    Now seeing the high value of this jade bottle and the reminders from the two men, Meng Zitao suddenly thought of whether it could be used to hold the original liquid of spiritual fluid, which might have miraculous effects.

    Thinking of this, Meng Zitao secretly decided to keep this jade bottle in his pocket.

    "Friend, what do you think of this jade bottle?" Yu Xingyan asked with a smile.

    "To be honest, I like this jade bottle very much and want to buy it, but this Ding kiln wash is really important to us." Meng Zitao said with regret.

    Seeing Meng Zitao¡¯s resolute attitude, Yu Xingyan said, ¡°Can¡¯t you be accommodating?¡±

    Meng Zitao shook his head: "It's really not possible."

    Yu Xingyan shrugged his shoulders: "Forget it."

    Just when the other party wanted to take the jade bottle back, Meng Zitao suddenly said: "Can't you transfer this jade bottle?"

    "I'm sorry, I didn't have that idea either." Yu Xingyan's face showed a half-smile, as if to say, let you also taste my frustration.

    Meng Zitao smiled and said, "What if I exchange it with you for a piece of Ding kiln porcelain?"

    "You still have Ding Kiln porcelain!" Yu Xingyan was startled, then remembered Meng Zitao's identity, and immediately a smile appeared on his face: "Can you let me admire it?"

    "The chameleon is not as fast as you."

    Meng Zitao slandered, and then said: "I have photos on my phone, wait for me to pull them out."

    ???????????????????????????? Meng Zitao took out his mobile phone and pulled up the photo. Of course, what was in the photo was not the Ziding. He would definitely not agree to exchange such a precious thing, but a small bowl with a lotus pattern carved from the Ding Kiln.  He also got this small bowl when he picked it up, and it has never been made public in front of outsiders.

    Meng Zitao¡¯s mobile phone has a high resolution, and the photos taken are also very clear, and some details can be seen, which also makes Yu Xingyan feel relaxed and happy.

    "I wonder if you are willing to exchange?" Meng Zitao asked

    "Change it!" Yu Xingyan seemed to be afraid that Mencius would regret it, and directly put the jade bottle in front of Meng Zitao: "This jade bottle is yours."

    Meng Zitao was a little dumbfounded: "You are too impatient. The things are still at my house, and I won't be able to get them back for a while."

    Yu Xingyan smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I'll just leave the things here for you first. I believe you won't regret it."

    Meng Zitao said: "Well, since you insist on doing so, I will accept it, but as for the price,?Can you help me take a look?  "

    "Mr. Meng, there's no need to be so polite."

    Luo said with a smile. When Meng Zitao took out the jade bottle, his eyes suddenly lit up and seemed to shine.

    When Meng Zitao saw something was going on, he quickly put the jade bottle in front of Luo Danran. Luo Danran picked up the jade bottle very piously and observed it carefully.

    It took nearly twenty minutes to watch this: Luo Danran came back to his senses, smiled apologetically and said, "I'm really sorry for keeping everyone waiting for so long."

    Meng Zitao smiled and said it didn't matter: "I also look like this when I meet something I like. I wonder if Master Luo recognizes the material of this jade bottle?"

    Luo nodded calmly: "The material of this bottle should not be Khotan jade, but jade essence."

    "Jade essence?" Everyone was surprised, and Meng Zitao also remembered what the jade essence was.

    The term ¡°jade essence¡± comes from the collection of ancient myths, legends and strange novels, "Shiyiji". There is a story in which Dong Yan, the face of Princess Guantao in her later years, often slept in the Yanqing room and used painted stones as a bed.  The reason why it is called "painted stone" is that the pattern of the stone resembles a painting.  This kind of stone is large and light and comes from Zhizhi country.

    It is said that there are purple glazed curtains on the bed, a screen made of Huoqi gems, candles made of lingma, and plates made of purple jade.  The bed resembles a curved dragon, all decorated with variegated treasures.  The waiter fanned Dong Yan outside the window.

    Dong Yan said, "Does jade also need to be fanned before it can be cooled?" The waiter closed the fan and touched it with his hand, and then he realized that there was a screen.  Dong Yan also used a plate made of jade essence, filled with ice cubes, and placed it in front of his knees.  The jade essence and ice are both white and transparent items. The waiter didn't see it clearly. When he saw it, he hurriedly said: "If the ice cubes are not stored in a plate, they will definitely wet the mat!" As he said this, he hurriedly reached out and flicked the jade plate and ice.  All the ice fell to the ground and shattered.  Dong Yan laughed heartily.

    It is said that the jade essence Dong Yan obtained was a tribute from the Qiantu Kingdom, and was given to Dong Yan by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.  During the Jianping period of Emperor Ai, common people still had such utensils in their homes, but most of them were broken.  When Wang Mang arrived, he had already disappeared without a trace.

    The Qiantu Kingdom mentioned in the story is the Gandhara Kingdom, a country in the South Asian subcontinent that gradually declined until the fifth century AD.

    After all, this is just a story. Meng Zitao found it difficult to believe in the existence of jade essence, so he asked: "Master Luo, how do you determine that the jade bottle is made of jade essence?"

    Luo smiled calmly and said: "I know this is hard to believe. In fact, if I hadn't seen an artifact made of jade essence at my grandpa's place before, I wouldn't have believed that jade essence existed.  But it¡¯s a pity that the artifact from my house was lost and I don¡¯t know where it went. I thought I would never see anything made by jade essence in this life.¡±

    Meng Zitao asked: "Why is the jade in this jade bottle white and bluish-white, even though it is white and transparent?"

    Luo said calmly: "I thought this was strange at first. I heard from my grandpa that jade essence will change color over time. As for the reason behind it, my grandpa didn't understand it, let alone me. I think  Maybe it¡¯s because of this that some people misidentified the jade spirit, and now that the jade spirit is rare, that¡¯s why it¡¯s said that the jade spirit has disappeared.¡±

    Meng Zitao thought it was very possible. Even he thought it was Hetian jade. If it weren't for the supernatural power, he wouldn't have let Luo Danran identify it. He asked again: "Master Luo, do you know how to identify the jade essence?  "

    "Actually, it is not much different from Khotan jade, especially this kind of jade that has changed color. It is very difficult to identify, and I can't explain the identification method, so I can only point it out to you."

    Luo Danran demonstrated to everyone the identification method, which mainly relies on light, and the angles are very tricky, so it is really not easy to explain clearly.

    Yu Weigang smiled and said: "I've really learned a lot. I didn't expect that there is such a thing as jade essence. Should I say something, do the ancients sincerely deceive me?"

    Everyone chuckled a few times, and Meng Zitao asked: "Master Luo, I wonder if your grandpa has ever mentioned whether jade essence still exists?" (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com
