Fang Zhen nodded. "Gold artifacts related to religion."
"Oh? You really know your stuff." Uncle Bao looked surprised. He sized Fang Zhen up and down. "I thought you didn't know anything, which is why you sold that Gold Pendant to a jewelry store for the simple price of gold."
"But I don't understand. If you knew the origin of these gold artifacts, why didn't you wait to find a suitable buyer instead of selling it cheap to a jewelry store?"
Fang Zhen just smiled. 'To be honest, I really didn't know it was a religious item when I sold it,' he thought. 'I only confirmed that after finding the Golden Holy Chalice and the Holy Plate.'
Fang Zhen knew the truth, but this clearly wasn't the time or place to reveal his hand.
He shook his head and said simply, "Everyone falls on hard times. I was short on cash and needed to get by. Selling it as a gold craft or an antique would have taken too long, so I just exchanged it for quick money at a jewelry store."
