Li Yinian's face was a mixture of horror and ecstasy, and his breathing became heavier.
He had lived for most of his life and considered himself knowledgeable, but at this moment he felt like a greenhorn, stunned by this tiny ring!
Li Baizhong, who was standing next to him, took in every subtle change in his expression and couldn't help but burst out laughing, with a hint of pride and ridicule:
"Old Wang, Old Wang! I told you before, Yu girl's things are not ordinary things!"
"You were just making excuses and almost missed this great opportunity! So, do you regret it now?"
When Li Yinian heard this, his old face turned red, but he didn't bother to refute.
He carefully stroked the crystal core ring on his thumb, feeling the warm energy that continuously nourished his body, and an indescribable sense of relief surged in his heart.
Indeed, such treasures have never been seen, let alone heard of!
If it weren't for Bai Chong's reminder, he would have almost... Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his turbulent emotions. He looked at Yu Bai with a burning gaze, his voice slightly hoarse from excitement:
"Yu girl, what...what on earth is this? How can it be so effective?"
As he asked this question, a bold idea grew wildly in his mind.
The girl from the Yu family had previously taken out cultural relics from the Qin Dynasty.
The First Emperor pursued immortality throughout his life, searching for immortal mountains and elixirs, consuming countless manpower and resources.
Could it be a coincidence that this girl has come into contact with the legendary Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang...
In an instant, Li Yinian's heart was filled with shock!
His guess was so bold, yet seemed so reasonable!
If this is true, then the origin of this ring...
His expression shifted, and he fell into deep confusion. The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor—that was the astonishing secret treasure that the nation had longed for and anticipated for decades!
Once it appears in the world, its significance will be more than just subversive.
That will be an archaeological discovery that will shock the world!
But... if that were the case, Yu Bai and the things in her hands, including this ring that would be of infinite benefit to her, would probably no longer belong to her personally... It might even bring about huge trouble!
When Li Yinian thought that the warm energy might leave him, he felt a little reluctant and fearful.
Yu Bai is very smart, how could he not notice the extremely complicated changes in Li Yinian's eyes?
She guessed that the other party must have some doubts in his heart, and might even have thought of some aspects that ordinary people would not dare to think about.
But she didn't point it out, she just smiled slightly, her tone calm but with unquestionable certainty:
"Teacher Wang, please wear it with confidence. The origin of this ring is absolutely innocent and it was not obtained illegally."
She paused, met Li Yinian's inquiring gaze, and said frankly:
"To be honest, this item was passed down from my ancestors. I'm not entirely sure how it came to be, but I know it was acquired by chance. Feel free to use it, it's very beneficial to your health."
"Inherited from ancestors? Coincidence?"
Li Yinian chewed over these words, looking into Yu Bai's clear and frank eyes, which seemed genuine and not fake.
Although the shocking speculation in his mind about the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang had not completely dissipated, Yu Bai's attitude made him inexplicably relieved.
Yes, no matter what it comes from, as long as it is not troublesome and beneficial to oneself, isn’t it enough?
Thinking of this, Li Yinian laughed out loud, and the previous entanglement instantly disappeared.
He raised his hand and examined the ring, feeling the subtle yet enduring energy slowly seeping into his body, nourishing every inch of his flesh and blood. A heartfelt smile appeared on his face.
"Okay! Okay! Okay! Yu girl, I trust you, old man! I will accept this treasure with peace of mind!"
He turned his attention back to the ring itself, carefully experiencing its magical power. He felt relaxed all over, and his mood also became uplifted.
This kind of magical object is hard to come by!
The banquet was over for a long time and it was already late at night.
Yu Bai politely declined their offer to stay overnight and returned to the hotel he had booked.
She was exhausted from the long journey and the dealings with Wang Yinian just now. Even though her physique was much better than before, she still felt a little tired.
Just as she was about to wash up and get rid of all the dust on her body, a clear and gentle voice suddenly rang in her mind:
"Miss Yu, are you free to chat?"
It’s Fusu!
Yu Bai felt refreshed and no longer felt tired at all.
She quickly walked to the window and neatly pulled the heavy curtains, blocking out the neon lights of the city outside.
He carefully checked the room again and confirmed that there were no modern surveillance devices such as pinhole cameras. Then he had a thought and his figure disappeared from the spot and entered that mysterious space.
Inside the space, there is still the familiar peach blossom forest, and the elegant fragrance lingers around the nose.
Fusu, dressed in plain white Qin clothing, had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Yu Bai appear, he smiled gently and saluted:
"Meet Miss Yu."
Yu Bai also smiled and returned the greeting: "Master Fusu, I've been waiting for a long time."
Fusu said nothing more. He took out a roll of yellowed silk from his sleeve and presented it with both hands: "Miss Yu, this is the spirit gathering array diagram you asked for. It has been drawn."
"So fast?" Yu Bai took the silk, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
She slowly unfolded it and saw that the lines on the blueprint were intricate and precise, and every array point and every pattern were extremely clear. There were also detailed annotations in small cinnabar characters next to them, and even the precautions for setting up the array were listed one by one.
This doesn't look like it was hastily made; it's clearly a masterpiece that took a lot of effort!
Fusu saw her expression and knew what she meant. He said softly:
"Miss Yu, you don't know. When the Emperor heard that Miss Yu urgently needed this formation diagram, he personally ordered the Taoist priests in the palace who were proficient in formations to work day and night to complete the transcription of this complete formation diagram and annotations."
He paused, then asked with a hint of concern, "Girl, please take a closer look. Is it clear to you? If there's anything unclear, I can ask for you."
