Meteorites
"Holy crap! It really is gold!"
Seeing the irregular golden object, it wasn't just Little Tusi—even Ye Tong's eyes had gone straight. Golden objects found in nature were either pyrite or genuinely gold. Other metals might have a golden sheen, but either they lacked the same luster or had already oxidized into a drab gray.

Archaeological expert Professor Ding Kangyan and snake expert Doctor Shao Xinshu came over to examine it as well, clicking their tongues in wonder.
What kind of luck was this?
They had only gone into the water to catch fish, yet they had managed to pick up a piece of gold. This was practically defying the heavens!
By then, Li Bai had finally finished tidying up the barbecue and setting aside a plate of tendon-filled scraps for himself. He arrived at the group's location, pointed at one of the pieces, and said, "Not bad luck. It's genuine gold nugget, and the purity is pretty high. The other few pieces should be meteorites, right?"

This time, it was finally Lu Sanhu's turn
