332: Chapter 332 Qing Dynasty Kangxi Emperor's Heavy Treasure Dragon and Phoenix Copper Coin

"Strike Ghosts and Drive Spirits."

The effect of this skill is very simple: it can directly attack those spiritual or primordial soul entities, which are what we conventionally call ghosts and gods.

Sun Qian is currently in such a state.

And a very weak one at that.

This skill is exactly the right prescription.

Folk Yin-Yang Masters also use similar methods when helping to exorcise evil spirits, such as verbally abusing or beating the host to achieve the goal of driving out the yin evil within them.

Does it make sense? Yes.

But it only works against weaker entities. Against those that are slightly more powerful or have deep obsessions, such tricks are useless. One must use more professional and targeted techniques, such as the legendary Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate.

Or various types of dharma instruments.

Consequently, Han Jingyang wielded his cane and lashed out, not only forcibly shattering the human face that Sun Qian had painstakingly coalesced but also driving Sun Qian out of Doudou's body.

Then, before the Wraiths of Sun Qian could attempt to possess Doudou's grandmother's body, he swung his cane down with full force.

It struck her directly on the crown of her head.

Sun Qian's Wraiths instantly transformed into a ball of black-red qi. The black-red qi mass churned and billowed like boiling clouds, but eventually settled down. Without any surprises, it would gradually dissipate, and Sun Qian's Wraiths would vanish from existence.

But if there's no surprise, there's bound to be an accident.

Han Jingyang released Chaotian Temple.

Chaotian Temple darted out, opened its bloodthirsty maw to swallow that ball of black-red qi, and then burrowed back into the shikigami token.

Sun Qian's Wraiths had completely vanished.

Doudou slowly opened her eyes and knelt directly before Han Jingyang: "Thank you, Mr. Han, for saving my life."

Han Jingyang nodded with satisfaction and gave Wang Zhiwei a look. After Wang Zhiwei helped Doudou up, he chuckled: "Little sister-in-law, the person you should thank most is Old Wang. If it weren't for Old Wang, I wouldn't have meddled in this business."

Doudou nodded gently: "I should thank both of you."

Wang Zhiwei grinned, showing his teeth, and chuckled: "This is what I should do, what I should do. It's good that you're alright."

Doudou ignored Wang Zhiwei and greeted Deng Darong and the others one by one.

Her father's body hadn't even been placed into the coffin yet.

She was an only daughter and no longer young; it was time for her to hold down the fort, or at least not fail in etiquette.

However, Doudou's performance was indeed quite good. Although she hadn't married, she had seen the world, and her words and actions were quite thorough.

Han Jingyang had no interest in meddling in these family affairs. He declined Doudou's request for him to act as a Yin-Yang Master and followed Deng Darong to his home to drink tea, while also collecting his payment.

Helping Shen Village resolve such a huge problem and taking some compensation was reasonable and fair.

To put it bluntly, he had saved the lives of at least two hundred people.

Because of this, Deng Darong got straight to the point: "Mr. Han, we can't gather this payment for your hard work all at once, but rest assured, it definitely won't be lacking, and it will absolutely be to your taste. I asked Wang Zhiwei before, and Wang Zhiwei said you like all kinds of antiques. It just so happens that because Wang Zhiwei works in this field, our village has paid some attention to information and channels in this area. If we take some time, we can definitely get a batch of good goods."

Han Jingyang nodded slightly.

Deng Darong continued: "Of course, there is some stock on hand right now. Every household has saved up some family assets, waiting for them to appreciate. They will send them over in a while. Before that, please have some tea and take a look at a few pieces I've collected at home."

"You've collected some too?"

"Hehe, just followed the trend and saved some."

"The sources are fine, right?"

"Absolutely no problem," Deng Darong replied confidently.

Han Jingyang certainly wouldn't really care about the origin of the items. As long as they were good, he dared to accept them. He even wished Deng Darong's channels could be a bit wilder, as that would increase the probability of getting good goods.

When Deng Darong and his wife carried out a large box, opened it, and placed it before him, he looked down and was satisfied.

There were quite a lot of good things.

Authentic at a glance.

Regardless of whether they could be appraised, at least they were genuine old items, and small exquisite pieces at that, with high market prices.

What is sincerity? This is it.

Han Jingyang picked up an item and looked at it. The system didn't react, so he placed it to the side.

He looked at several items in a row and placed them all to the side.

Deng Darong asked anxiously: "Mr. Han, are these, are these all fakes?"

Han Jingyang shook his head without looking up: "They aren't fakes, they are all quite good."

"Are they not valuable?"

"No, some are quite valuable, especially that Qianlong blue and white small bowl, starting at 200,000, definitely a boutique piece."

"Then you..."

"They aren't my cup of tea; keep them yourself."

"This..."

"If I tell you to keep them, then keep them. I'm not that stingy of a person," Han Jingyang waved his hand dismissively. "Let me emphasize again: I'm not short on money, nor do I covet your money. I just want to find some strange and peculiar items."

Deng Darong breathed a sigh of relief: "Is there any standard? I'll have them filter them first."

"No standard. Old items, exquisite handicrafts, or artworks are all my targets. As for whether I'll like them, it depends on fate."

"Alright, I'll have them bring all these things over."

"By the way, it's even better if there are any dharma instruments used by Yin-Yang Masters or Feng Shui Masters."

"I, I will notify them of that as well," Deng Darong said. After sending a message, he asked curiously: "Mr. Han, are you selecting dharma instruments?"

"Something like that," Han Jingyang wanted to explain briefly, but stopped the next second.

Appraisal Technique had a reaction.

Directly appraising.

"Name: Republic of China Small-leaf Red Sandalwood Luban Lock."

"Grade: Fifth Grade."

"Attribute: Intelligence +9."

"Skill: Sudden Enlightenment."

Good stuff! Great attributes. Even better skills. It's perfect for my younger sister.

Immediately after, Han Jingyang discovered another nice little trinket.

"Name: Qing Kangxi Zhongbao Dragon and Phoenix Copper Coin."

"Grade: Sixth Grade."

"Attribute: Joy +5."

"Skill: Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Prosperity."

This copper coin was quite heavy and thick, with clear lettering. Its condition was near perfect, with almost no dents, only slight traces of wear from use. There was almost no rust, and it was a golden yellow color, making it extremely lovable.

The obverse side had the four regular script characters "Kangxi Zhongbao."

The reverse side was carved with dragon and phoenix patterns, as well as the two characters "Baoquan."

This coin was not for circulation; it was a trial coin minted when the minting machine was first started. It was cast to see the minting effect; if the effect wasn't good, adjustments were made; if it was good, production continued.

The quantity of such coins in existence was quite small, and each one was worth a lot. Those in good condition were even more valuable, with a single coin potentially selling for hundreds of thousands or even millions.

The one Han Jingyang saw was also a good item worth over 500,000, because its condition was excellent, and it featured dragon and phoenix patterns with good symbolism. Whether for collection or as a gift, it was presentable, good-looking, auspicious, and very impressive.

If sent to auction, the transaction price might be even higher.

Of course, its value now was even higher, as it was a dharma instrument.

Although its attributes were average and it wasn't combat-oriented, hanging it in the house still had many benefits. If combined with other items to set up a Feng Shui layout, the effect would be even better, allowing the whole family to be forever cheerful.

Not to mention it also had the "Dragon and Phoenix Bringing Prosperity" skill. Activating this skill at a critical moment had the miraculous effect of changing one's luck.

Han Jingyang unceremoniously put the copper coin away.

Then, he heard someone shouting excitedly outside the door: "Good stuff, good stuff is here!"
