275: Chapter 275 As I Wish
Han Jingyang solemnly took a jade ruyi out of the safe.
"Name: Hetian White Jade Carved Ruyi."
"Grade: Rank 6."
"Attribute: Luck +5."
"Skill: As I Wish."
Han Jingyang had always regarded this jade ruyi as a top-tier item and had kept it carefully stored away, not even willing to bring it out when facing Tian Chunming.
The grade wasn't high, but this skill was too overbearing.
As I Wish.
What did it mean?
Anything he wanted, he could have.
Of course, there was definitely a limit; he certainly couldn't have a nuclear bomb.
Furthermore, this was limited to the scope of metaphysics.
But even so, it was overbearing enough.
It was a pity that this jade ruyi was Rank 6, and such an overbearing skill could only be used twice.
Therefore, he had always been reluctant to use it, wanting to save it for a critical moment.
Now, he believed this was that critical moment.
Ahem.
It was absolutely not because he coveted the beauty of the four Flower Fairies.
It was purely because he believed these four Flower Fairies were true talents worth cultivating.
Even if they could only serve tea and pour water, that would be fine.
With four Flower Fairies of this level hovering around him every day, who wouldn't be envious?
Looking at the four of them, his mood would be wonderful every day.
After all, beauty is a feast for the eyes.
Now, he was just waiting to make a wish and then appraise it.
How should he make this wish?
It was truly a difficult problem.
The "As I Wish" skill was like a wishing tree, capable of fulfilling the user's wishes, but it had limitations: it was restricted to the scope of metaphysics and had a ceiling.
Unfortunately, this limit had no clear standard and relied entirely on his own control.
If the wish made exceeded the scope of the skill's effect, while it wouldn't ruin the item and materials like in a game, it might result in something neither fish nor fowl.
Han Jingyang thought for a moment, confirmed his thoughts, and then activated the "As I Wish" skill.
A blue light flashed by.
A ruyi radiating auspicious light appeared in mid-air, surrounded by clouds of good fortune.
Guarded by the auspicious clouds, the jade ruyi drifted slowly to the top of his head, tapped his Baihui acupoint three times, and then slowly dissipated.
Was this "As I Wish"?
Han Jingyang slowly closed his eyes and felt carefully.
There was indeed a special feeling.
A feeling that any dream could be realized.
In an instant, various aspirations flashed through his mind, and he almost treated them as his wish to fulfill with the skill.
But in the end, he held back.
He walked to the scroll and placed it on the scroll shaft.
"Ding: Appraisable item discovered. Appraise it?"
"Yes / No."
Han Jingyang took a deep breath.
Yes.
The moment he confirmed it.
A mysterious force was extracted from his body, and a feeling of being instantly hollowed out washed over him, almost causing him to faint.
He stumbled and sat down on a chair, recovering for a moment before having the energy to check the attributes of the painting.
"Name: Four-Panel Screen by Zou Yigui of the Qing Dynasty."
"Grade: Rank 4."
"Attribute: Nourish Spirit +12."
"Skills: Four Seasons of Peace, Flowers Do Not Intoxicate People, People Intoxicate Themselves."
After reading the attributes.
Han Jingyang jumped up with a start.
Awesome!
It was actually Rank 4.
And it had dual skills.
The attributes and skills were also very good.
No, more than just good; calling it a top-tier item wouldn't be an exaggeration.
The "Nourish Spirit" attribute was self-explanatory; hanging it at home would improve the mental state of the household, make sleep more restful, and provide huge benefits to work, life, and study.
The two skills were even more remarkable.
"Four Seasons of Peace," as the name implied, was for ensuring safety throughout the year. It had similar functions to the peace buckle he wore, but it was an area-of-effect skill. By hanging the painting at home, everyone in the house would be covered by the skill's range. Of course, the effect was limited to the home and would be useless once they left.
But even so, it was quite powerful.
It was a top-tier skill essential for any home and extremely useful for self-protection.
The skill "Flowers Do Not Intoxicate People, People Intoxicate Themselves" was even more impressive. It could create an illusion at home, making intruders feel as if they were in a sea of flowers. It was similar to the previous Confusing Soul Formation, but the power was stronger, and the visual effect was much better. How could gray, misty energy compare to clusters of blooming flowers, right?
Combined with the "Four Seasons of Peace" skill, it was enough to protect the safety of a household.
At the very least, it could stall for a very long time.
Unless the enemy's strength was very high, strong enough to exceed a Rank 4 item.
But there wouldn't be many such enemies.
Furthermore, he had other items; by using them in combination, he could completely turn his home into an iron fortress.
The question was, what about the four Flower Fairies?
They didn't disappear, did they?
Han Jingyang waved his hand tentatively: "The four of you?"
"Master, we are here."
"Hmm?"
Han Jingyang turned his head quickly and saw the four Flower Fairies walking gracefully from the window, bowing together: "Zou Shuying, Zou Handan, Zou Rushuang, and Zou Feixiang greet the Master."
"Good, good, good," Han Jingyang said with great joy: "You have acquired physical forms."
"Not exactly, we only possess part of the functions."
"Can ordinary people see you?"
"Yes."
"And can you touch physical objects?"
"Yes."
"But essentially, you are still... Qi?"
"Yes, as long as we are within the coverage of the scroll, we can return to the scroll or appear in other places at any time. It's somewhat similar to teleportation; I saw this concept on the previous Master's mobile phone."
"Can you manipulate the scroll?"
"Yes."
Han Jingyang's eyes flickered: "Then, what about the skills in the scroll?"
Zou Shuying asked in confusion: "What skills?"
Han Jingyang quietly breathed a sigh of relief: "Using the scroll to attack or defend."
"We can only use some insignificant illusions, but it will consume the Qi within the scroll."
"That's already very good," Han Jingyang breathed a sigh of relief: "Are you willing to stay here, or would you like to go to my residence?"
"Where does the Master stay longer?"
"Here..."
"Then we will stay here; we also like the environment here."
"That works too."
Han Jingyang did not refuse.
Anyway, his villa was generally unoccupied, with only Wang Wei there.
It was livelier here, and he did indeed stay here longer, spending most of his time here during the day and even spending the night here.
Furthermore, there were more valuable items here, so defense really needed to be strengthened.
With intelligent beings like the four Flower Fairies guarding it, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Jiguang Zhai was as secure as a fortress.
With the four Flower Fairies paired with the two skills, plus other items, even if Tian Chunming came, he wouldn't be able to take advantage.
These four Flower Fairies were now not much different from normal people, and in some aspects, they were even stronger than normal people.
What was this?
These were natural candidates for guarding the house.
Moreover, with the four of them in the shop, there would be no need to leave anyone behind in the future. When there was something to do, everyone could go out, and leaving just these four on duty in the shop would be enough to handle almost all the work.
With high intelligence, the ability to touch physical objects, and decent self-protection capabilities, they could be called all-around employees.
And they didn't even want a salary.
They didn't even need to eat or drink.
What boss wouldn't want such employees?
