The Abandoned Young Master of a Wealthy Cultivation Family

Chapter 43 Ancient Jade

"Young Master Tang has spent a lot of effort to collect these rare treasures from all over the world."

"This is the Sky Blue Heart diamond from South Africa. It's said to bring magical luck to the wearer."

"This is a jade pendant found in a noble tomb during the Tang Dynasty. Three or four tomb raiders died for this piece of jade."

"This is a Bagua compass from a Feng Shui master during the Ming and Qing dynasties. It's said to be able to distinguish yin and yang, and determine life and death."

"This is....."

The old man was quite pleased with himself when introducing them, and he knew the whole story like the back of his hand. Each of them had a great background, with mysterious stories. Su Qingyao was full of curiosity and nodded repeatedly.

"Mr. Su, what do you think of these things of mine?" Tang Qiubai asked Su Bai with a proud look on his face, as if waiting for Su Bai's praise.

Su Bai glanced over and shook his head slightly, saying, "It's just a rumor. They are just some ordinary rare antiques."

With his vision, he could naturally see that these so-called mysterious antiques, cursed gems, etc. were nothing but nonsense and far-fetched claims made by the world, and in fact had no magical effects at all.

The old man in gray felt unhappy when he heard this. These were items that Tang Qiubai had collected from all over the world with great difficulty, and they had all been appraised by him. They were all priceless treasures. But now they were rejected by a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy's words. This was like a slap in his face. How could he feel comfortable?

'Looks like we need to teach him a lesson.'

Thinking of this, the gray-robed old man smiled and said, "Oh, it seems that this young gentleman has very high standards! We still have the final treasure. Please come over here."

"Oh? Really?" Su Qingyao followed with great interest. When she reached the center of the exhibition hall, she was immediately attracted by a colorful bead placed in the center.

She first showed a trace of confusion on her face, then suddenly woke up and said in horror:

"What...what is this? How can it affect my sanity?"

Before the old man could say anything, Tang Qiubai came over with a smug look on his face and said, "Don't panic, Miss Su. This pearl is a magical tool. It has such magical effects only after being nurtured by a master!"

The old man in gray robe also looked at Su Bai with a smug look on his face, but when he saw that Su Bai's expression did not change at all, he couldn't help but feel even more shocked.

When a normal person sees this magical weapon for the first time, they will be attracted by its mysterious power, as if they have fallen into a whirlpool, and it will take a long time for them to wake up.

It was rare for someone like Su Qingyao to wake up instantly, but Su Bai remained completely unmoved, which was quite strange.

"This magical instrument is a Dzi bead worn by a living Buddha in Tibet. He wore it since he was born and only took it off after he transformed into a rainbow. He never left it except for his entire life. It has the functions of regulating the human body's magnetic field, condensing feng shui, and praying for blessings and warding off evil spirits. Young Master Tang went to Tibet in person to request it, and he spent millions for it." The gray-robed old man introduced it with a hint of pride in his tone.

"It's really unusual." Su Qingyao nodded in surprise. Today she had broadened her horizons.

The gray-robed old man smiled even more broadly upon hearing this.

He turned to Su Bai with a smile on his face, but saw Su Bai shook his head slightly and said lightly: "It's just a facade, not a real magic weapon."

"You!" The gray-robed old man didn't know Su Bai's identity, and he felt a surge of anger rising to his head.

What does a young boy know about antiques? If Young Master Tang didn't want to show off his collection, you wouldn't even be qualified to take a look at these antiques. How dare you speak so shamelessly here?

He couldn't help but sneer repeatedly: "Mr. Su doesn't even take this 'sky bead' seriously. I wonder if you can let me see what a real magic weapon is?"

"A real magical weapon?"

Su Bai glanced at him and said calmly, "A true magical weapon is like a myth. With a single strike of the sword, it can decapitate a person from a thousand miles away. It can call down the wind and rain, control thunder, and possess all kinds of magical powers. It's not like this bead, which, apart from attracting people's attention at first sight, has no effect at all."

The grey-robed old man didn't notice Tang Qiubai's expression, but sneered, "What you said are just legends. How can it exist in reality?"

"Mr. Su said that this Dzi bead is just for show, but I absolutely disagree."

"Yes, I think this Dzi bead is very magical." Su Qingyao also asked in confusion.

"Yes, Mr. Su, you are not exaggerating a bit, are you?" The old man showed a sarcastic look in his eyes, and he almost said that he was bragging.

"Really?" Su Bai remained silent.

He pointed at the Dzi Bead from a distance, and an invisible loud "bang" sound was heard in the void. This sound could not be heard by ordinary people and could only be felt on the spiritual level.

At that moment, Su Bai used a secret method to release his mental power and erase the remaining mental power in the Dzi bead.

"What are you going to look at now?" He retracted his finger and said with a normal expression.

When they looked at it again, their expressions changed drastically. This Dzi bead suddenly lost its strange attraction!

"How is this possible?" the old man exclaimed, and Tang Qiubai's eyes looked at Su Bai even more fiercely. He was indeed an immortal master, who could wipe out the magical effect of the spirit pearl so easily!

"How is that impossible?" Su Bai explained calmly, "It's just contaminated with some of the wearer's mental energy. The reason ordinary people feel dizzy when they see it is because they are disturbed by this residual mental energy. After I erased it, it returned to its original appearance."

After hearing this, Tang Qiubai couldn't help but sigh and admired from the bottom of his heart: "Mr. Su's methods are indeed supernatural."

"Now I see that this Dzi bead really doesn't have much magic to it. It's just an ordinary bead."

The old man in gray robe took a deep breath and felt deeply afraid.

"It seems I was wrong. This young man has some abilities and should not be underestimated." No wonder Young Master Tang was able to bring him here.

Su Bai appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he was shaking his head and sighing.

"Even the so-called magical instruments are only like this, not to mention other rare treasures."

"It seems that this trip has yielded nothing."

When he was about to ask Su Qingyao to leave together, his eyes suddenly swept across a corner. His pupils shrank and he let out a light exclamation.

"Mr. Su, what's wrong?"

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Tang Qiubai looked in the direction he was looking with curiosity, and saw a piece of gray ancient jade in the corner.

This piece of ancient jade has mottled marks on it and looks very old. Looking closely, I don’t see anything surprising about it. It is far inferior to the dazzling Dzi beads before.

"I didn't expect that I would come across something good this time."

The more Su Bai looked at it, the more his smile grew. He turned to Tang Qiubai and said, "I want this piece of jade. Name your price."

"Since Mr. Su likes it, why bother asking for money? Just take it." Tang Qiubai said with a heroic smile.

In order to win over Su Bai, he heard that his grandfather could give away a villa worth tens of millions without hesitation. Compared with this unknown ancient jade, it was nothing.

Su Bai didn't act pretentiously and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll accept this favor from the Tang family."

Seeing Su Bai taking back the ancient jade as if it were a treasure and slowly putting it into his pocket, Tang Qiubai was surprised and happy.

Does he know how valuable Su Bai's words are? Even the old man of the Tang family left no room for winning over Su Bai. However, the old man gave Su Bai villas and favors, but Su Bai didn't even say a polite word. Now, he used a piece of ancient jade to get a clear promise from Su Bai. How could he not be surprised?

"Su Bai, is there anything special about this ancient jade?" Su Qingyao couldn't suppress her curiosity.

"Didn't you just ask what a real magic weapon is?" Su Bai was silent for a moment before speaking slowly.

"Mr. Su, could it be that... this is the 'real magic weapon'?" the gray-robed old man asked cautiously.

This ancient jade looks plain and has many impurities in it. It looks completely different from the top-quality mutton-fat jade, jadeite, Huanglong jade, etc., and there is nothing special about it.

"Not yet." Su Bai shook his head slightly and said, "Once I polish and refine it, I can refine it into a real 'treasure' with magical powers. Then its magical powers will be no less than those of magic tools!"

When Tang Qiubai heard this, his eyes were filled with admiration and shock. Could it be that Su Bai could also refine magical weapons?

But seeing that he didn't want to say more, he didn't dare to ask more.

When Su Qingyao looked at Su Bai again, her eyes were full of complexity. She grew up in the Su family in Zhongzhou, so she naturally knew a lot about some secrets in this world, but she never expected that her younger brother was actually one of those extraordinary people.

Su Bai's previous thunderous methods of beating people only shocked her, but when he casually wiped out the remaining mental power in the spirit bead just now, it brought her unprecedented shock!

"There's nothing to see here anymore, let's go."

After getting the ancient jade, Su Bai ignored the many other precious treasures in the room.

When several people came to a brightly lit hall, there were already many people inside. The Immortal Master Exchange Meeting had begun!
