Jiu Fenghai pointed at the ear of the Buddha statue on the far left. "These Buddha statues have many layers of gold leaf applied to them."
Xia Jun drifted over and, following the direction of Jiu Fenghai's finger, closely inspected the cracked patterns behind the statue's ear. Indeed, through the crack, he could see layer upon layer of gold leaf accumulated on the surface of the statue. He immediately realized that the gold leaf technique of this era involved repeatedly hammering a whole block of Gold with an iron hammer until it was as thin as cicada wings, then blowing it onto the surface of an object. Hence it was called applying gold leaf, usually only one layer.
Xia Jun asked, "Could it be the Jialan Sect is trying to display their wealth?"
