The Feng Shui Treasure Appraiser

278: Chapter 278 Amethyst Carved Peace PlaqueZhang Zhiyang listened to Han Jingyang’s explanation and sighed, ”I was hoping to get a few myself. Carrying these around would be so impressive.”

Han Jingyang laughed, ”Do you dare to carry them?”

”Why wouldn’t I dare?”

”Won’t the disciplinary department investigate you?”

”Our department is different from the others. Besides, if I say they have special abilities and are helpful for work, are they going to conduct an on-the-spot inspection?”

”So you have privileges.”

”Of course. We risk our lives on the line every day. If we didn’t even have this small amount of privilege, what would be the point of working here?”

That was certainly reasonable.

Furthermore, even without using privileges, Zhang Zhiyang had nothing to fear. He could just claim the Flower Fairy was a spirit creature he had summoned himself; who would dare to challenge Zhang Zhiyang on that?

Therefore, Han Jingyang smiled and said, ”That really is a pity—having the ability but no opportunity. Tell you what, if there are any more like this in the future, I’ll give you a chance to compete for one.”

”Really?”

”Do you think I’m as shameless as you? If I say I’ll give it, I’ll give it.”

”Hehehe, thanks, brother! Thanks, thanks!”

”Don’t misunderstand me. I said I’d give you a chance to compete for one, not give it to you directly.”

”I know. When the time comes, I’ll compete with the other contenders using my own methods. I think I have a bit of an advantage.”

”Having an advantage doesn’t necessarily mean it will be useful,” Han Jingyang smiled. ”They will choose their own masters.”

”You mean...”

”Exactly. That’s what I mean. Apart from certain restrictions, they are just like normal people in every other aspect, with intelligence and emotional intelligence that are in no way inferior.”

”This...”

”So don’t think about throwing your weight around; you might end up shooting yourself in the foot.”

”Fine. Anyway, having this opportunity is better than having no chance at all.”

Han Jingyang smiled. ”Where are your people? Hurry up and call them over.”

”I can handle it.”

”You?”

”Who else?”

Zhang Zhiyang said as he took out his phone, ”Come on, four beauties, let’s take some ID photos. Right, you have fingerprints, don’t you?”

Zou Shuying looked at her slender, fair palms. ”We do.”

”That’s good. Come, come, Flower Fairy, you first. It’ll be quick, don’t be nervous. Your boss is here; even if I had ten times the courage, I wouldn’t dare to harm a single hair on your heads.”

Zhang Zhiyang took photos and fingerprints of the Flower Fairy, finishing in three minutes.

Without dawdling, he turned and left, ”Brother, at most one day. I’ll bring them over to you when they’re ready. Don’t forget to prepare the three dharma instruments.”

After Zhang Zhiyang left, Han Jingyang beckoned, ”Shuying, let me see your hand.”

”Master?”

”Fingerprints. Are your fingerprints also fixed and unique?”

”Of course not. We can change them at any time.”

”Really?”

”Of course. Master, look.” Zou Shuying extended her flawless palm. Then, Han Jingyang watched as the fingerprints on her fingertips slowly changed shape like flowing water, shifting from whorls to loops, without a single flaw.

”That’s amazing!” Han Jingyang reached out to touch them. The texture was exactly like real human skin, only more delicate, warm, and perfect—even more perfect than the Stainless Body of Shi Xiaoya and Liu Jing.

Zou Shuying chuckled, ”Master, this is just our basic ability.”

Han Jingyang was thoughtful. ”Can you change your facial features too?”

”Yes, any part of our bodies can be changed at will, including height, figure, and even eyes, hair, and clothes.”

”This...”

Han Jingyang suddenly had a bold idea.

”Ahem.”

Better not dwell on that.

Thinking about it is wonderful.

Take it slow, take it slow.

The future is long. Can’t sacrifice long-term happiness for a moment’s pleasure.

Han Jingyang settled the four sisters of Zou Shuying and slipped into the back room again to perform Consecration on that box of treasures.

Last time, he had obtained several quite good items from Huang Jianyong in one go, which made him even more expectant about this box of treasures.

This time, the quantity was even greater.

Moreover, since they could be collected so carefully by Huang Jianyong, the quality must be even higher.

However, after going through them one by one, he discovered that wasn’t the case at all. Out of the thirty-plus old objects in the box, a small portion couldn’t be appraised; he couldn’t even trigger the appraisal prompt.

Damn it.

Bad luck.

However, the rest were not bad: one Grade 4 item with a skill, one Grade 5 item with a skill, one Grade 5 item without a skill, four Grade 6 items with skills, two Grade 7 items with skills, and the rest were unremarkable.

Of course, this haul was already quite abundant.

Just one Grade 4 item and two Grade 5 items meant he had made a huge profit.

Not to mention, he had gained a total of eight skills.

Skills were the core competitive advantage of these items. Each skill was very important and powerful. As long as it carried a skill, even a Grade 7 item was worth quite a lot.

Conversely, without a skill, even if the grade was high, it felt a bit like a chicken rib—tasteless to eat but a waste to throw away.

”Name: Ming Yongle Small-Leaf Red Sandalwood Carved Standing Arhat Subduing the Dragon.”

”Grade: Grade 4.”

”Attribute: Evil Suppression +11.”

”Skill: Dragon Subduing Palm.”

This was an inconspicuous wooden carved Arhat.

But its grade, attributes, and skill gave him a huge surprise.

Grade 4.

Evil suppression.

Dragon Subduing Palm.

It could suppress evil in the house and be used in combat. Placed at home or in the shop, it was a divine artifact for guarding the premises.

Carrying it out and taking it out when needed was also a powerful weapon.

How many people in the world could withstand a skill from a Grade 4 item?

”Name: Republic of China Hetian jade carved acupuncture figure.”

”Grade: Grade 5.”

”Attribute: Health +8.”

”Skill: Disease Removal and Healing.”

This was also a treasure.

Health is always the most important thing.

Whether for his own use or to sell, it was an excellent choice because people are always subject to birth, aging, sickness, and death, and will always encounter various accidents.

Besides, the attributes were good too.

Even without using the skill, just placing it at home could subtly strengthen the body. It was also a divine household artifact.

”Name: Amethyst Carved Peace Pendant.”

”Grade: Grade 5.”

”Attribute: Peach Blossom +6.”

”Skill: None.”

This amethyst was for attracting peach blossoms, a standard feng shui item for changing one’s luck.

He definitely didn’t need this thing.

His luck with women had always been good; even without this thing, so many women were drawn to him. If he really wore it, he wouldn’t be able to do anything all day but deal with women of all ages and types.

However, selling it to someone else would certainly fetch a good price. One or two million wouldn’t be expensive, right?

There are plenty of people who throw hundreds of thousands or millions into marriage agencies just to find a partner.

With this pendant hanging around one’s neck, one wouldn’t have to do anything to have the opposite sex come knocking. As long as one could seize the opportunity, finding a partner really wouldn’t be difficult.

For example, old man Sun Fuchang. In his situation, it would normally be hard to find a young, pretty woman unless he spent a lot of money.

However, by wearing this, the probability of finding a desirable partner would greatly increase.

Thinking this, he sent a message to Sun Fuchang, ”Old Sun, I have a little trinket that’s quite suitable for you. If you’re interested, come to the shop and we can talk.”

Then he added a picture.

In the two-bedroom apartment that Sun Fuchang was preparing to rent out.

Sun Fuchang, who was enthusiastically trying to get close to the Lin Sisters, received Han Jingyang’s text message and was startled. After reading the content clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief and held the phone up to Lin Yuelan, ”Miss Lin, could you take a look at this pendant and tell me what you think of it?”
