After Zhou Xi left Kyoto City, General Zhou sighed for days. Compared to relatives and descendants like Zhou Yuanyuan, Zhou Xi had spent the most time with General Zhou. In his heart, General Zhou always considered Zhou Xi his own brother. General Zhou always believed that the two brothers would never be separated in this life, and perhaps even be buried in the same cemetery after death.
General Zhou was not at all used to Zhou Xi's departure. This was different from his previous missions. When Zhou Xi was away, General Zhou thought he would be back in a few days. This time, he didn't know when Taoist Baopu would let him out. Whenever General Zhou thought about it, he felt a great blockage in his heart.
Old children, old children. At General Zhou's age, sometimes people just can't bear to see the separation of life and death. By the time Zhou Yuanyuan had comforted General Zhou, more than a week had passed.
Yu Xiaohan had already visited Zhou Yuanyuan several times to ask for her "peace amulet." He had been in Kyoto for several months, managing most of the Yu Group's business from there. Previously, Yu Xiaohan had assumed his life was coming to an end, so he had prioritized maintaining profitability. After re-establishing his life goals, he felt the Yu Group's expansion was urgent. Business is like war; the earlier you seize the initiative, the greater your chances of success. Yu Xiaohan needed to return to Hong Kong Island as soon as possible, as he had several important collaborations requiring his personal presence.
Zhou Yuanyuan was almost overjoyed when she heard Yu Xiaohan was going back to Hong Kong Island. These past two days, every time she saw Yu Xiaohan busy with work, Zhou Yuanyuan was thinking about how to tell him about going to Hong Kong Island. Unexpectedly, the opportunity presented itself to her without her even having to ask.
"Grandpa Yu, I'm not being lazy, but I need to look at the feng shui of your home and company before I can decide what kind of jade talisman to carve for you." Zhou Yuanyuan explained to Xiao Han with a smile.
"Jade... Jade Talisman?" Yu Xiaohan was startled and stuttered a little. Yu Xiaohan would be like this when he was nervous, but in the past ten years, there was really nothing that could make Yu Xiaohan nervous.
Yu Xiaohan and Master Dingyuan had known each other for many years and had a basic understanding of the different levels of talismans. Jade talismans carved on jade were considered the highest grade, and only truly skilled masters could craft talismans of this quality. The next highest grade were talismans drawn on the hides of spirit beasts with a spiritual brush. These were also considered rare. Master Dingyuan had said that only disciples of the Maoshan School could craft them, and each one was priceless. The most common were paper talismans drawn on yellow paper with a brush dipped in cinnabar. These required masters of a certain level of cultivation. Master Dingyuan, for example, was currently only able to craft paper talismans.
Even if it is a paper talisman, Master Dingyuan can only make one a year.
Master Dingyuan, who had a good relationship with Yu Xiaohan, admitted that his paper talismans were too low-level to be of any help in Yu Xiaohan's situation. In other words, to break Yu Xiaohan's bad luck, a high-level talisman was needed.
Yu Xiaohan had originally thought that receiving a talisman made from the hide of a spirit beast from Zhou Yuanyuan would be the best outcome. He hadn't expected Zhou Yuanyuan to give him such a big surprise. A jade talisman! Even Master Dingyuan had only mentioned the jade talisman as "the legendary jade talisman."
"Yes! Jade talisman. Grandpa Yu, let me make it clear to you first! You have to prepare ten pieces of top-quality jade before I can help you make a talisman." Zhou Yuanyuan's focus was not on the same channel as Yu Xiaohan's. She thought that jade talisman was a very common commodity.
No wonder Xiaoyu's standards were so high. The "Compendium of Talismans" she'd found for Zhou Yuanyuan didn't even mention how to make paper or spiritual talismans; it was all about carving jade talismans. From entry-level to advanced talismans, everything was covered. Even the amulet had no fewer than twenty different carving methods. Zhou Yuanyuan had diligently studied it for over a month, and so far, she'd only mastered the six most basic ones.
"Okay, okay. The Yu family is in the jewelry business. They don't have much other stuff, but they definitely have jade. When the time comes, Miss Yuanyuan can pick as much as she wants." Yu Xiaohan got the answer he wanted, and his heart soared. He hadn't expected Zhou Yuanyuan to be such a master of talismans. Even the way Zhou Yuanyuan deliberately called him "Grandpa Yu," which made him ache, didn't bother him.
Oddly enough, Yu Xiaohan couldn't keep calling Zhou Yuanyuan "granddaughter." Even though Zhou Yuanyuan didn't look threatening at all, Yu Xiaohan sensed the aura of someone in a higher position. It was even stronger than what he'd felt from General Zhou.
Yu Xiaohan was a shrewd man. Ever since Zhou Yuanyuan promised him the amulet, he knew she wasn't just any ordinary person. As for the extent of Zhou Yuanyuan's abilities, Yu Xiaohan didn't want to know, nor did he dare to. As a top businessman, he understood the saying, "curiosity kills the cat."
"Grandpa Yu, don't feel bad when the time comes. I'll pick the best jade. The better the jade, the more potent the jade talisman will be." Zhou Yuanyuan thought about it and decided it was necessary to explain to Yu Xiaohan. Although Yu Xiaohan had plenty of money, he wouldn't want to be taken advantage of. Jade is a luxury item, and the best quality jade is bound to be very expensive.
Many people know that the higher the level of a talisman, the more powerful its effect. However, few people know that the higher the level of the talisman, the higher the quality of the jade required.
A talisman is a pattern that was used in ancient times to connect heaven, earth, and nature. Each line of the pattern holds a large amount of spiritual energy. When this energy is activated within the talisman, it unleashes its own effects, whether it's protecting the body, attacking, or even triggering natural phenomena like rain and wind...
The higher the level of the talisman, the more complex the lines it contains. These complex lines contain the most primitive mysteries between heaven and earth.
Jade is the carrier of these lines. If the jade is not of high quality, it will easily be broken by these mysterious lines with spiritual power. This is why Zhou Yuanyuan insisted that Xiao Han prepare high-quality jade.
After receiving Zhou Yuanyuan's affirmative response, Yu Xiaohan quickly asked his secretary to buy a plane ticket and began packing his luggage for the trip back to Hong Kong Island. Before he knew it, Yu Xiaohan had packed five large boxes, three of which were filled with his clothes, shoes, and socks alone.
So, he had already moved half of his family to Kyoto? Yu Xiaohan looked at the five large suitcases neatly arranged in the living room and couldn't help but smile.
In the last period of his life, was his daughter Meiru still the one he cared about most? That's right, wealth and splendor are things that only the living care about. After you close your eyes, who cares how much wealth you have in your life, how high your status is?
First set a small goal, such as remembering in 1 second: Shukeju mobile version reading website:
