Upon Zhu Gaolin's return, Shen Changsheng summoned Tu Changyang.
"Senior Brother, how did things go?"
Tu Changyang asked nervously.
"I have already reported to the sect leader, and I haven't mentioned your matter!"
Hearing Shen Changsheng say this, Tu Changyang breathed a long sigh of relief.
Shen Changsheng continued, "The sect leader has ordered someone to capture Gao Yan alive. Junior Brother Tu, I intend to entrust this matter to you. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Tu Changyang was overjoyed and quickly said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother, I guarantee I will bring Gao Yan back to the sect as quickly as possible!"
This is a chance to redeem himself. As long as he brings Gao Yan back and forces him to reveal the location of the spirit stone mine, even if his instigation of Dugu Ming is exposed later, he will not be severely punished!
"Don't let your guard down!"
Shen Changsheng suggested, "Even the deputy sect leader has gone missing in Jiangzhu. There might be something unusual going on in Jiangzhu. Don't linger on this trip. Once you catch the person, come back immediately!"
Tu Changyang's heart tightened, and he nodded solemnly: "Understood, Senior Brother!"
"Alright, go and select four enforcement disciples at the Innate Realm to accompany you!"
"Senior Brother, then this junior brother will take his leave!"
Outside a supermarket in Jiangzhu City, a number of fireworks were displayed.
"Honey, do you want to set off fireworks?"
Gao Yan noticed Xiao Zhuo's gaze and couldn't help but ask with a smile.
"I want to set them off, but fireworks aren't allowed in the city!"
Xiao Zhu nodded.
"If they won't let us release them in the city, then we'll release them outside the city!"
Gao Yan laughed and said, "Let's go buy some, and after we have our New Year's Eve dinner, we'll go outside the city to set off fireworks."
"Honey, you're so good to me!"
Xiao Zhuo said happily.
These days, fireworks are not allowed in the city, but they are allowed outside the city. In a few years, even firecrackers will be banned in the countryside during festivals.
Gao Yan was not short of money, and in order to make sure Xiao Zhu had a good time, he ordered fireworks worth over ten thousand yuan and had the shop deliver them to the outskirts of the city on New Year's Eve.
They wandered around for a while longer.
Seeing that it was almost time, the two prepared to go home for dinner.
But then the phone rang.
It was Luo Bing calling!
Half an hour later, in a private room of a teahouse.
This time, Su Long did not come with Luo Bing.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Luo Bing placed a metal box on the table, opened it, and said to Gao Yan, "Take a look and see if these are the kind of antiques you're looking for!"
Inside the metal box were six antiques, a sheathed dagger, a string of Buddhist prayer beads, a jade beaded string, a wolf-hair brush, a scroll of calligraphy and painting, and a jade seal.
With a thought, Gao Yan activated his Insightful Eyes.

After appraising the six spiritual items, Gao Yan knew the answer: the spiritual energy of these six items had been exhausted, and without the ability to recharge, they were no different from ordinary antiques.
Moreover, the highest level only has four characteristics, which clearly indicates that there are experts in the country who can identify spiritual objects.
"How about it?"
Seeing Gao Yan shift his gaze, Luo Bing quickly asked.
Gao Yan took out the Green Peak Dagger, the Wolf Hair Talisman Brush, the Panlong Seal, and the Beauty Skull Picture, and said, "I will give each of these four items 5 billion, and the remaining two items 10 billion each, which will add up to 40 billion."
Upon hearing Gao Yan's offer, Luo Bing was slightly surprised, not expecting Gao Yan to offer such a high price!
"Okay, no problem, I'm very satisfied with this price!"
Luo Bing nodded: "But I'm very curious, how did you price it?"
Gao Yan had no intention of ripping off Luo Bing, so he explained, "These spiritual objects are also graded. Each spiritual object has different functions. The more functions it has, the higher its grade. For example, this relic Buddha string has four functions, this chalcedony string has three functions, and the other four only have two functions each. However, the spiritual energy within these six spiritual objects has been exhausted. To restore their spiritual energy, it would require more spiritual energy to nurture them. If these spiritual objects still had spiritual energy, then the price would be relatively higher!"
"I see!" Luo Bing exclaimed in realization. "Then just give me 20 spirit stones!"
"no!"
"Why?"
Luo Bing's expression changed slightly.
"What I mean is, I'll pay you 40 billion first, and then you can use that 40 billion to buy 20 spirit stones from me!" Gao said.
Luo Bing's expression was somewhat strange: "Isn't this unnecessary?"
"I'm a person of principle, so do as I say!"
Gao Yandao said that, in fact, he was just trying to gain experience and get the system's return. He would not get any experience or the system's return if he directly exchanged them.
But by doing this, he can gain 40 billion experience points and 400 billion system return funds.
After Luo Bing provided an account.
Gao Yan then instructed the system to transfer 40 billion to her!
Then Gao Yan took out 20 spirit stones and handed them to the other party, who then transferred the 40 billion back to him!
After seeing Luo Bing off, Gao Yan said to Xiao Zhuo, "I'll give this jade marrow bracelet to you after I've filled it with spiritual energy!"
