“It could be said that this sword was one of the finest among the tributes of its time!” Luo Feng chuckled and stated. If this sword were to be discovered in Japan, it would undoubtedly be hailed as a national treasure!

“Holy cow! Who would have thought that we’d see foreign national treasures in our own lands?”

“Haha, bet you’re shocked now, aren’t you?

At this moment, viewers from Japan watching the livestream were as astounded as Luo Feng’s local fans upon seeing a Yongle Encyclopedia, a Nine Zhou Ding, and a Imperial Jade Seal. As the camera panned to the famous Demon Blade Muramasa, they recognized it as their national treasure almost instantly.

“This is our prized possession!”

“Yes, indeed, a national treasure that belongs to us!”

The livestreaming room was quickly filled with viewers who, using special methods, logged onto the website with the sole purpose of admiring their national treasure.

“Here is another tribute!”

Luo Feng had just put down the Muramasa, when another blade from Sakura countrv anneared.

“This is Goro Nyudo Masamune!”

Astonishingly, yet another famous blade had appeared.

“This sword is on par with the Muramasa!!” Luo Feng carefully examined the blade after picking it up. “While this sword might not be as well-known as the Muramasa, it was actually forged by a grandmaster, who happened to be the mentor of the creator of the Muramasa. They share the same lineage!”

The fame of the Muramasa is mainly perpetuated through anime and light novels. After all, creators tended to spice up their works to make them more appealing, and through this, the myth of the Muramasa had only grown stronger and more mysterious with time.

However, for Goro Nyudo Masamune…

Domestic viewers might not be aware of it, but viewers from Japan were certainly no strangers to it. This blade had been frequently used in several games, after all.

Its popularity in their country is equal to that of the Muramasa.

Quickly, Luo Feng took a look at another blade.

It was shimmering coldly, and the handle was engraved with 16 chrysanthemum flowers.

“Brothers, this is another national treasure of Japan!”

Luo Feng called out.

Some were quick to express their discontent.

“What’s this? After the Muramasa, you bring out another blade? And you even dare to call it a national treasure?”

“Once the Muramasa has been brought out, you might as well skip the others!” Indeed, domestically, the Muramasa was better known.

Other weaponry from the nation did not share the same acclaim within Chinese borders.

“Hehe, if the Muramasa is a national treasure, then this blade is definitely a treasure among treasures!”

“This blade is called Kiku-lchimonji Norimune!”

“You can consider it an item belonging to ancient Japanese royalty!”

This blade from Sakura country was forged by a blacksmith named Ichimonji Norimune from Bizen province, commissioned by Emperor Toba during the Kamakura era.

The blade, with a length of 78.48 cm, had an extremely long and slender body. Near the base of the blade, the royal chrysanthemum emblem representing the royal family was engraved, and beneath that, a horizontal Ichimonji pattern was carved.

In fact, as a royally commissioned weapon, Kiku-lchimonji Norimune excellently interpreted the culture of “Chrysanthemum and the Sword” , and was one of the few symbolic blades of Japanese history.

“Holy cow! So, this blade was used by their emperor? Does it represent imperial power?”

“Why would such a blade be given as a tribute back in those days?”

Luo Feng pondered for a while before responding, “It may merely have been a sincere gift. After all, a sword used by the royal family can symbolize sincerity! In short, aside from its combat usage, the status of this sword is superior to that of the Muramasa!”

“Isn’t that obvious? It’s a royal artifact!” Qin Rubing immediately chimed in.

Luo Feng gave her a stern look, signaling her to grasp the gravity of the situation. She had decided to act the sycophant, yet she dared to revert to her old aggressive manner of speech? She needed to be gentler.

Seeing Luo Feng’s gaze, Qin Ru Bing stuck her tongue out, similar to a wife who had been chastised, and promptly remained silent.

Subsequently, Luo Feng left the room and entered another door.

Tables were arranged neatly, adorned with boxes of varying sizes.

Luo Feng casually opened one of the boxes, and his viewers were instantly stunned.

“Is this… Is this mahjong?”

“No way! It’s really mahjong?”

“I think the host must have placed it here himself, right? How could it be mahjong?”

Luo Feng picked up a piece, laughing as he explained, “This is likely made of bovine bone. And, Mahjong is something that has existed since the Ming

Dynasty!”

During the Ming Dynasty, there were various forms of entertainment. Playing mahjong, Pai Gow, cricket fights, listening to music. All these were forms of entertainment.

“Heh, this mahjong set is quite valuable. It should be made of ivory!”

Luo Feng chuckled. It was quite amusing. He had traversed so many ancient tombs, yet this was the first time he had come across mahjong pieces. It seemed that the owner of the tomb had quite the gambling habit.

Of course, it was not just made from bovine bone and ivory. There were also those made of agate. In those cases, they did not even look like mahjong pieces anymore, and were more akin to artistic masterpieces.

With a soft snap, he opened another box.

To his surprise, it was filled with fan handles. jade, and all sorts of other precious items, making it, a veritable treasure trove. Luo Feng was truly astonished.

In regards to the fan handles, they were simply the frame of fans. If one were to attach a drawing to it, they would then have a folding fan.

“There are so many bookshelves!”

Luo Feng had moved on to the next room.

As far as the eye could see, ancient books were sprawled across the area.

“Luo Feng, is this the ‘History of Song’?”‘ After carefully opening a book, Gu Santong exclaimed.

“Yes, it’s the version from the Chenghua years,” Luo Feng nodded, then picked up another book, astonished, “Is this ‘Extensive Records of the Taiping Era’? And it’s a Song Dynasty version?”

“The Imperial Readings of the Taiping Era! Cefu Yuangui!”

It seemed that all the four major books of the Song Dynasty were here.

In addition, he found over a hundred other books from the Song Dynasty.

If it was not for the multitude of Ming Dynasty artifacts discovered, Luo Feng would have doubted whether he had entered a tomb from the Song Dynasty.

“Luo Feng… Luo Feng!”

Suddenly, Gu Santong began shouting.

Luo Feng did not need to guess. With this sort of reaction, something good must have been discovered.

However, Luo Feng could not think of any book that could rival the value of the Yongle Encyclopedia.

“The Spring and Autumn Annals? Is it really the Spring and Autumn Annals?” Luo Feng asked in surprise.

“Yes, the Spring and Autumn Annals. I looked at it, it’s the Song Dynasty version, this is truly a rare treasure!” Gu Santong excitedly confirmed.

“Ah, Master Gu, take a look at this,” Luo Feng thought that the Spring and Autumn Annals were already impressive in their own right, but what came next was even more so.

“Is this… The Comprehensive Mirror in Aid of Governance?”

Damn!

At this moment, everyone in the livestream room was on the verge of madness.

A divine book.

An undoubtedly divine book had been unearthed.

“We still many more books to go through!”

Indeed, there were too many treasures laid right in front of him, so much so that Luo Feng did not know where to start.

The original copy of the Comprehensive Mirror in Aid of Governance might have excited Luo Feng, but a hand-copied version was much less valuable.

Of course, books from the Song Dynasty were still very expensive in the antiquities market, with a single page rumored to be worth one tael of gold. Through this, you can likely imagine the popularity of Song Dynasty books.

“Holy… This book…”

Suddenly, Luo Feng paused, a mischievous grin spreading across his face.

“What book?” Gu Santong was puzzled at Luo Feng’s reaction. “Cough, yes, it’s ‘The Golden Lotus.’ Qin Rubing’s favorite book to read!”

“You’re the one who likes to read it, not me!” Qin Rubing retorted. “But, is it really this book?”

“Damn, the host is amazing!!”

“I knew something was up when I saw the host’s eyes. So it’s such a great thing?”

“This book has high artistic value! It deserves to be handed down!” Luo Feng chuckled, and continued perusing the other books.

They were all classics.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, The Tales of Gods and Demons.

Outlaws of the Marsh.

There were also remnants of the Historical Records of the Five Dynasties of the Tang Empire.

All of them were classics.

“Amazing, truly amazing. There are plenty of books here, aren’t there?”

“What’s this book ‘Biographies of Favored Princes’? Is it a book about ancient romance?” Qin Rubing asked.

‘More or less, but it’s about a little imperial uncle!” Luo Feng chuckled. “Really?” Qin Ru Bing asked.

“Of course, the story’s heroine is Wu Zetian, and it talks about the affairs between Wu Zetian and her favorite men,” Luo Feng said smugly. After looking through all the books, Luo Feng swiftly moved on to the next room….
