Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 505 Miscellaneous Jade (Part 1)

Yun Wentai's emotional intelligence is many times higher than that of the average person.

He seemed to have guessed Han Yi's thoughts and feelings simply by observing the changes in Han Yi's micro-expressions.

He then smiled and said, "Don't rush, Inspector Han, there's also this..."

He took out another "Phoenix Jade Disc" from the metal box. It was also pure white, exquisite, with clear patterns, and faintly exuded royal majesty.

Han Yi sighed almost imperceptibly, still dissatisfied.

It's meaningless, it's all meaningless.

What he wanted was not just superficial value, but something more intrinsic and profound.

Objects capable of containing yin energy have no discernible pattern.

Even if an antique is made of extremely rare and unique materials, it may not necessarily contain any yin energy. On the contrary, some ordinary materials, everyday items, such as broken mirrors or shattered porcelain bowls, may contain a large amount of yin energy.

Therefore, even with Han Yi's long period of contact and observation, he was unable to summarize an accurate law from it, and could only check each one by one.

Next, Yunwen Terrace brought out things like the Flying Jade Figure, the Green Pine and Bright Jade, and the Luminous Cup...

The items were all good, but for Han Yi, they were still meaningless.

"Huh, this thing..."

As the contents of the box were gradually emptied, Han Yi suddenly saw something and felt a strange sense of familiarity rise in his heart.

A jet-black, rhomboid crystal lay quietly in the corner, placed at the very bottom of the metal box, serving as a support.

"It's just a piece of miscellaneous jade. What, Inspector Han, are you interested in this?" Yun Wentai's ability to read people was already at its peak, and he saw through Han Yi's thoughts at a glance.

"No, I'm just curious." Han Yi gently picked up the rhombus-shaped crystal and stroked it.

He picked up the crystal and examined it closely.

Swish, swish, swish...

Soon, a large amount of yin energy, resembling tentacles, emanated from the crystal.

"This thing..." Han Yi was somewhat confused about its nature.

This pure yin energy felt similar to the Xuan Yin Stone he had encountered before.

Compared to ordinary antiques, the Yin energy within is purer and more powerful, making it incredibly easy to absorb. It's even of higher quality than those precious Xuan Yin stones from before, resembling blood money processed using special methods—brighter, more lustrous, and as pure and clean as crystal.

A steady stream of pure Yin energy flowed into his body, like a perpetual motion machine, releasing Yin energy evenly and slowly, which was then absorbed by him.

Han Yi put it down again, forcefully interrupting this pleasant feeling: "It's interesting, but it doesn't look like ordinary jade."

"Inspector Han thinks so too?" Yun Wentai shook his head. "This thing, like the dragon-headed gold cup, was also unearthed from the imperial tomb. Although it doesn't look like an ordinary object, I asked all the experts, and none of them recognized it. They all said it was a piece of miscellaneous jade."

If Inspector Han knows anything about him, he could tell me, so I can broaden my horizons.

"I don't know, but it looks nice, and it would be good as a small trinket to play with," Han Yi explained.

"Alright, of these things, I'll take the dragon-head gold cup, the jade inkstone, and this one. I like the jade, so I'll consider it a bonus, how about that?"

"Inspector Han is so magnanimous!" Yun Wentai was overjoyed.

This is a big deal!

It's better to turn a worthless trinket, which looks like a piece of miscellaneous jade, into a big deal than to leave it unsold.

The deal was done, and both of them were in good spirits.

"I'll take the items first. The payment method is the same as before. Send someone with the receipt to the Inspector's Office to settle the account with Yang Du."

Han Yi was in a good mood. He had obtained an object containing yin energy, and the yin energy was so pure that the trip was worthwhile.

The total price of these items is not cheap.

But at his current level, the gold tickets alone are no longer of much use to him.

"Consider switching to resources and improving yourself as quickly as possible; that's the right path." Yun Wentai said with a smile, accompanying Han Yi out of the dark room.

Compared to those customers who just look but don't buy, he prefers customers like Han Yi, who are generous, magnanimous, spend money without batting an eye, and he doesn't have to worry about them defaulting on their payments.

After all, within Jingtian Manor, there are only about thirty people who can independently train and make a name for themselves in Huayang City.

Even if someone of this caliber has no money, just one word from them will bring a huge influx of people eager to make their acquaintance and line up to give them money.

"Inspector Han, do you have some time lately? A large tomb has been discovered in Mangshan. Would you be interested in getting involved? If there are any valuable discoveries, I can make the decision that Inspector Han will have priority."

At the entrance of the trading company, Yun Wentai spoke in a gentle tone and asked Han Yi.

The reason why Yunluo Trading Company has developed to its current state and has so many truly treasured items is entirely due to his treasure-hunting skills.

Whenever someone discovered something amiss at the tombs of kings, generals, or imperial officials, he would immediately organize a team to descend into the tomb. Any valuable items that could be taken from the tomb would be looted, while anything that couldn't be taken would be destroyed and discarded.

Otherwise, how could royal treasures such as imperial jade pendants, luminous pearls, and jade ornaments be found in his possession?

Such things are prohibited from being traded openly in the market; if discovered, it could mean losing your head.

Recently, a large imperial tomb from a previous dynasty was discovered in Mangshan.

The dragon-head gold cup was one of the rare items he discovered among them.

However, this imperial tomb is full of treasures, but also full of dangers. After only half of the excavation was completed, most of his men had been lost, forcing him to retreat and prepare to recruit new personnel.

Han Yi is one of Yunwentai's targets.

Han Yi was extremely obsessed with antiques and collectibles, and coupled with his strong abilities and clean background, he was a trustworthy person. After considering all these factors, he decided to invite Han Yi to participate in a real tomb raiding expedition.

"Me? Never mind, I've got things to do lately, I don't have time right now."

Han Yi was too lazy to waste words and decisively refused.

Mangshan is a place name. It is known for its beautiful scenery, unique terrain, and is rumored to be the origin of a dragon vein.

Therefore, Mangshan is a burial site that emperors, nobles and illustrious figures of all dynasties flocked to, with countless imperial tombs and the tombs of kings, nobles and generals.

As for the tombs of literati, scholars, wealthy merchants, and other prominent figures, the sheer number is astonishing. At a glance, there are hundreds of thousands of tombs stretching for dozens of miles, earning the reputation of "no place where an ox can lie down."

The rise of Yunwentai is said to be related to Mangshan.

His background is actually somewhat shady.

Because of his expertise in mechanical arts, this man served as the strategist of a tomb raiding team in his youth, committing many unethical acts and amassing a great fortune.
