128: Chapter 128 Hetian Jade: Bian Que Meets Duke Huan of Cai, Handing Over the Piece

The last item was also a hand-held piece.

However, it was on the smaller side, only about the size of two quail eggs.

But its quality was visibly excellent.

It was a Hetian jade pebble, even featuring a hint of golden orange skin.

The jade was delicate, oily, and smooth; although it hadn't reached the level of mutton-fat jade, it was still top-tier among white jades.

It was a good piece.

Even if it weren't carved at all, playing with the raw skin and material would have its own unique charm.

Of course, it was better carved; as long as the craftsmanship matched the material, its value would only be higher.

Han Jingyang picked up this pebble hand-held piece and observed it carefully.

It took quite a while before he could determine what pattern was carved on it: Bian Que Meeting Duke Huan of Qi.

This was also a well-known story, the kind that made it into textbooks and required memorizing the full text.

If not for the seal-script character "Qi" on a flag behind Duke Huan of Qi in the carving, it would have been really hard to distinguish.

What a good item.

Such a good item, regardless of its attributes, had to be kept for himself.

Keeping it on hand to fiddle with whenever he had nothing to do was decent and fun, a hundred times better than rotating walnuts or fondling prayer beads.

First, identify it.

"Name: Republic of China Hetian jade pebble carving of Bian Que Meeting Duke Huan of Qi hand-held piece."

"Grade: Fourth Grade."

"Attribute: Disease Removal +13."

"Skill: Curing Illness and Extending Life."

Fourth Grade!

Disease Removal +13!

Curing Illness and Extending Life.

Han Jingyang was shocked by this attribute.

It was another truly heirloom-level good item.

Not to mention anything else, just this "Curing Illness and Extending Life" skill alone was worth a fortune.

If Li Jianjun knew the efficacy of this treasure, let alone ten million, he wouldn't hesitate even for one hundred million.

The premise was that Li Jianjun had that much money.

However, Han Jingyang didn't intend to sell it.

He had already passed the stage of making money by selling items; he could make a killing just by selling attributes and skills.

Even if he sold items, he mostly sold those that were low-grade and had no skills, or those whose skills had entered a cooldown period.

This kind of Fourth Grade item with top-tier attributes and skills could be used multiple times.

Just based on the aura within this item, he could use the "Curing Illness and Extending Life" skill at least three to five times.

He didn't need to charge too much for one time—five million, that's not expensive, right?

That was at least fifteen million in income.

Moreover, the "Disease Removal +13" attribute itself was very powerful.

In cases where the customer's condition wasn't very serious, taking it and placing it for a day or two could be effective.

The charging method was even more flexible: charging per use, per day, or based on efficacy were all possible.

This was a golden goose that laid golden eggs.

Only a fool would sell the golden goose.

Of course, the premise was that he could protect this golden goose from being snatched away.

Han Jingyang had such ability.

After finishing the identification, Han Jingyang stayed in the room for another half an hour before pushing the door open to go out, smiling at Wang Zhiwei: "Old Wang, your luck is really good; you actually managed to get it."

"Really?" Wang Zhiwei was overjoyed.

"Yeah, theoretically it's the right remedy, but whether it can actually detoxify Old Xu still needs to be tested."

"Which one?"

"That Ximu jade hand-held piece."

"I knew it, haha. When I saw that piece, I thought of it."

"That's why I say your luck is good; you even encountered such a low probability."

"My luck has always been good; that's how I built such a large family fortune.

Especially when I was young and went out to make my way without knowing anything, it was only because my luck was good enough that I could pick up leaks time and time again.

As for my eye for antiques, I'm far behind; I'm practically illiterate when it comes to that."

"Old Xu's luck is also good, being able to meet a lucky person like you at a critical moment."

"Good luck is contagious, haha, otherwise we wouldn't have met you, a metaphysics expert, little brother," Wang Zhiwei laughed: "Little brother, can we go to the hospital now?"

"Yes, I'll bring my gear."

"You need to bring gear to the hospital?"

"Just to be safe. I have no strength to truss a chicken; if I really run into bad guys, I rely entirely on this gear to save my life."

The group headed straight to the hospital in a grand procession.

In the ward.

Seeing Han Jingyang return and Wang Zhiwei looking relaxed, Xu Jingyun's face instantly beamed with joy: "Brother Han, did you find it?"

"Let's try it and see."

"Okay, what do you need me to do?"

"Move a table over."

"Are you setting up an altar?"

"Just to be safe."

"Okay."

This time, there was only that jade guan gong statue on the altar.

For such a small matter, there was no need for the True Martial Emperor himself to step in.

Then there were the standard items: the sanqing bell, the tianpeng ruler, and the copper incense burner.

Regardless of the efficacy of these items, they looked the part; they were the proper, standard setup for opening an altar.

Without these things, the altar would be too crude; even if it had magical effects, it would still lack something in appearance.

Since he was putting on a show, he certainly had to do the full set.

While Xu Jingyun was setting out the offerings, Han Jingyang held the compass in his left hand and the Ximu jade hand-held piece in his right.

After circling the hospital bed twice, he placed the hand-held piece in the palm of Xu Xin's right hand, then returned to the front of the altar.

He stood still.

He looked up and smiled at everyone: "Please watch a good show. Be mentally prepared. Oh, and close the room door."

Wang Zhiwei's eyebrows jumped high: "Little brother, could it be..."

"Right, this is a real big show, many times more exciting than what you saw last time."

"Good, good, good, I can't wait."

Even Xu Jingyun's eyes showed a few traces of excitement.

The last Manifestation of Holiness was to help solve problems for those buyers downstream of Deng Xingang; it was a small scene, simply not worth mentioning.

At that time, he had just obtained the jade guan gong statue and was using the "Manifestation of Holiness" attribute for the first time, purely as an experiment; he didn't even use a skill.

But this time was different; he was going to use a skill.

Attribute special effects and skill special effects were completely different.

Attribute special effects only involved changes in aura, just with different aura colors.

Skill special effects, however, were at the level of 8K holographic animation.

No, they were more vivid and realistic than animation, with a stronger visual impact.

If an ordinary person could see such a thing once in their lifetime, they would have no regrets in death.

Waiting for everyone to calm down, Han Jingyang grabbed the tianpeng ruler and slammed it hard on the altar.

"Clap—"

"Manifestation of Holiness—"

With two consecutive sounds, before the crowd could recover from the jolt, they saw the scene before them change.

Each dharma instrument seemed to have activated special effects, emitting a shimmering glow; the blues and greens were dazzling.

Even Wang Zhiwei, who had seen it once before, still felt dazzled and mesmerized, eyes wide open, as if wanting to engrave this magnificent picture in his mind.

Looking at Xu Xin on the hospital bed, the person showed no abnormality, but from the white jade plaque on his chest, wisps of blue aura drilled into Xu Xin's chest, as if they were living creatures.

The green aura in the Ximu jade hand-held piece in his right palm was even denser, and that green aura merged into Xu Xin's body at an even faster speed.

Amazing!

But, was it useful?

Han Jingyang frowned and watched for a few seconds, sighing inwardly.

This poison was just too strong.

Even an attribute as strong and completely on-point as "Detoxification +9" couldn't get a single reaction from Xu Xin.

It seemed he had to use a skill.

He had even thought about saving a skill.

Fortunately, the price had been agreed upon in advance, so using it once wasn't a loss.

Since he had to use it, he would use it.

He might as well take the opportunity to properly enjoy the special effects of this skill.

Hmm, spending someone else's money to watch a few seconds of hyper-realistic holographic animation special effects was quite satisfying.

Thinking this, Han Jingyang shook the sanqing bell, ran around the hospital bed twice, and then suddenly pointed at Xu Xin's chest, shouting simultaneously: "Bone Scraping to Heal Wounds—"
