149: Chapter 149 Top-Grade

Top-grade!

A top-grade treasure!

Han Jingyang was ecstatic, holding the small bronze compass and looking out the window.

The scene before his eyes was more delicate and clearer than before.

It felt like the quality had switched to Blu-ray.

No.

There were other changes too.

Han Jingyang watched Wang Yan busy downstairs, his expression changing several times.

He could observe the state of a person's aura.

This was something he didn't have before.

As expected, good things are indeed good things.

Two grades higher.

Eleven more attribute points.

This ability is truly extraordinary.

The previous one can be retired.

Wait, it can't be retired; it can be kept as a backup. The metaphysics circle is so chaotic, it's necessary to take precautions.

Mhm.

Han Jingyang studied the compass for a long time before reluctantly moving on to appraise the second item.

"Name: Qing Guangxu Lightning-Struck Peach Wood Sword."

"Grade: Six."

"Attribute: Evil-Warding +5."

"Skill: Warding Off a Hundred Evils."

Next was the fan.

"Name: Republic of China Landscape Folding Fan."

"Grade: Seven."

"Attribute: Mind-Clearing +2."

"Skill: None."

"Name: Republic of China Bronze Yin-Yang Mirror."

"Grade: Six."

"Attribute: Qi Observation +4."

"Skill: Revealing True Form."

"Name: Republic of China Bronze Gong."

"Grade: Seven."

"Attribute: Alertness +2."

"Skill: Sounding the Gong to Warn."

"Name: Republic of China Goat Hair Brush."

"Grade: Seven."

"Attribute: Spirituality +2."

"Skill: Seamless Execution."

A compass, a peach wood sword, a fan, a Yin-Yang mirror, a bronze gong, and a writing brush—six items in total.

Except for the folding fan, which wasn't of much use, the remaining items were all treasures.

Although the grades of the peach wood sword, Yin-Yang mirror, bronze gong, and writing brush weren't high—either Grade Six or Seven—they all had skills, which was very rare.

Moreover, this was an unexpected harvest.

He hadn't expected this before coming here.

Not to mention there was also a Grade Three compass.

With this compass in hand, those bronze wares could be overlooked.

No matter how good those bronzes were, they would definitely not exceed Grade Three.

Grade Three items aren't like cabbages on the side of the road, growing in clusters.

Did they really think Dongpo Village was some kind of Feng Shui treasure land that could produce two Grade Three items in a row?

Impossible!

Even from a probability perspective, it couldn't happen.

Han Jingyang found a silk cord, threaded the compass through it, and wore it around his neck.

It felt a bit uncomfortable.

After all, it was a heavy chunk of bronze.

He'd make a special small cloth bag for it later.

To make it easy to carry around.

Carrying this compass with him would be convenient in the future; he wouldn't panic no matter where he went, as he could enter the Qi Observation state anytime, anywhere.

It's a wonderful item practically tailor-made for me.

Hmm, could it be that my Luck attribute is working?

Half an hour later, Han Jingyang returned to the living room.

Shi Xiaoya quickly stood up: "Brother Lei, how is it?"

"Not bad."

"How many dharma instruments are there?"

"All of them."

"All of them?" Shi Xiaoya cupped her hands with a beaming smile: "Congratulations, Boss! You've made another Fortune."

"It is indeed worth celebrating. Let's have a big feast tonight."

"Okay, I'll go arrange it."

Shi Xiaoya went downstairs.

Liu Jing pouted: "Boss, have you forgotten about my existence?"

"How could I? I could forget anyone but you."

"Then count for yourself, how many words have you said to me these past few days?"

How many?

It didn't seem like many.

He really had neglected this little woman.

No, he couldn't blame himself.

He had to blame that little vixen Shi Xiaoya for being such a scene-stealer; as soon as she appeared, she took away all of Liu Jing's presence.

Thinking this, Han Jingyang patted Liu Jing's shoulder: "Don't worry, your position in my heart is unshakable. You will always be my most trusted and solid shield."

Liu Jing's back instantly straightened: "Don't worry, Boss, I will also protect you forever."

"Mhm, it's a deal then," Han Jingyang nodded. "Later, I'll find some good dharma instruments for you. Not just for you, but for your family too. Since you're following me, you're one of my own, and I've always been generous to my people."

"Mm-hmm," Liu Jing nodded even more vigorously.

Those were dharma instruments.

They cost hundreds of thousands or even millions at every turn.

And she was the first witness to the power of dharma instruments. Hearing that there were more to be had, she was naturally even happier.

Dinner was very sumptuous.

They were all signature dishes of the farmhouse resort.

The taste was as authentic as ever.

After eating and drinking their fill, they went for a stroll.

Along the way, he tested the functions of the newly acquired Grade Three compass.

The Qi Observation effect was indeed better.

And it had indeed added the ability to observe a person's Qi.

With this ability, one glance at someone could reveal their general situation, physical condition, Fortune, and so on.

If the body is unwell, the Qi within will inevitably be blocked; where there is a Qi blockage or deficiency, that is where the ailment lies. With the support of 20 points of Qi Observation attribute, it was visible at a glance, more brilliant than any machine or doctor in this world.

Fortune, on the other hand, was above the head.

Looking up, there was a cloud above everyone's head, but the colors of these clouds were all different.

According to his deductions, gold is Fortune, cyan is Career Luck, pink is Peach Blossom Luck, blood-red is Blood-Light Calamity, gray is bad luck, black is severe bad luck, and so on.

Luck is something that cannot be described in detail because Fortune is a very complex and comprehensive thing, not a single attribute.

Moreover, the colors vary in depth, and there is no unified standard; it's just a general reference.

But even so, it was already an incredible ability, enough to turn someone who knew nothing about divination or physiognomy into a top-tier divine calculator.

For a Feng Shui Master like Han Jingyang, it was an extremely powerful supplement that made up for his shortcomings, leaving his abilities without a single flaw.

This trip to Dongpo Village had only just begun, and he was already reaping a full harvest.

Han Jingyang couldn't be more satisfied.

He even had a smile on his face before falling asleep.

...

Dongpo Village.

In a windowless secret room at the north end of Wang Jinliang's house.

An elderly couple sat facing each other.

Wang Jinliang said in a raspy voice: "That young man named Han is very strong and not to be trifled with. Let's just act as if this never happened."

Liu Guihua's face twisted as she scolded sharply: "You surnamed Wang, are you even a man? You've been a coward your whole life, and even our daughter was lost. You want me to act as if nothing happened?"

"What else can we do? It's not like we didn't try last night. And the result? The little ghost we spent over ten years raising was obliterated as soon as it got there. He's perfectly fine—fishing when he should fish, drinking when he should drink—and he even took our dharma instruments."

"You have the nerve to say that. As soon as that man named Zhou frowned, you chickened out. If you had told him the items were gone, could he have eaten you?"

"The items did belong to the village; it's only reasonable for them to take them back."

"You, you..." Liu Guihua was so angry she was speechless. After a moment, she turned her head and huffed, "This can't end like this. Xiao Wei is gone, and I have nothing left to worry about. At worst, we'll all go down together."

"Are you sure that young man is related to Xiao Wei?"

"I haven't seen the young man before, but I've seen the vixen beside him. Xiao Wei said she was Old Dog He's most trusted person. Now that Old Dog He isn't even dead yet, she's already being so respectful to that Han kid. It's clear that the Han kid has a deep relationship with Old Dog He. He's either Old Dog He's most trusted person or his successor. Either way, a life for a life is worth it."
