He looked at the wooden box, which was just a wooden box, unlike Li Chengdao who was injured and vomited blood by the contents of the box.
"Because my cultivation has reached a higher level, if it were before, I probably wouldn't have been able to see anything amiss. I could only sense that something was wrong with the contents of the box. But now, I can see a trace of yin energy leaking out from the cracks in the box."
"Mr. Xia, what's inside?"
Li Chengdao looked at Xia Yeming and asked.
If it were him before, he wouldn't have noticed anything wrong either, but he would have been tainted by the yin energy inside.
But now, he could clearly feel that the box was filled with a strong yin energy that even he couldn't block.
"It's a red jade hairpin, which I bought from an old gentleman."
"The old gentleman said that this was a family heirloom, passed down from generation to generation, until it came into his hands."
Xia Yeming answered.
He was an appraiser, and the first thing he noticed about the hairpin was its exquisite beauty and flawless appearance.
If someone else is selling it, he naturally buys it.
After buying it, he couldn't tell what the jade on the hairpin was made of, so he came to H City to ask his teacher for help.
Unfortunately, even his teacher couldn't see anything special about it, only that the hairpin was at least a thousand years old.
He also went back to find the old man who sold him the hairpin.
Unfortunately, the old gentleman passed away at the age of 120.
He gave all the money from selling the hairpin to his granddaughter, ensuring she would have no worries in the future.
It is evident that the old man foresaw his impending death when he was selling the hairpin.
“Jade and jadeite are both nourishing and have spiritual energy. The longer they are kept, the less likely they are to be tainted by yin energy. How could this be…” Li Chengdao frowned, also puzzled.
“Mr. Xia, I cannot help you examine this hairpin. I can only use a talisman to temporarily seal the yin energy inside to prevent it from leaking out. However, my cultivation is still shallow, and I can only seal it for you for two days at most.”
"If you can't find a master to help you in two days, my advice is... it's best not to keep the hairpin with you, otherwise, I'm afraid something might happen to you, Mr. Xia."
When he said the last sentence, Li Chengdao looked serious.
The atmosphere in the private room became quite tense after he said that.
Xia Yeming frowned, hesitating.
It is a fine hairpin, without a doubt.
He was actually quite reluctant to give it up.
It's not about the money, but rather that this hairpin is so well preserved and exquisitely crafted, even more so than modern luxury items.
In addition, his teacher said that this was an ancient artifact from a thousand years ago, and there was no record of it in the literature, so it was very likely from a new dynasty that had not yet been discovered.
If they could trace the clues back through this hairpin, they might discover something different.
"Master Li knows many like-minded people. Does Master Li have anyone to recommend?" Xia Yeming looked up, his gaze falling on Li Chengdao, and asked respectfully.
He still didn't want to give up and wanted to try again.
If Li Chengdao can't see it, then find someone else...
If everyone says there's no way to see or remove the negative energy, he will choose to give up.
“A kindred spirit…hmm, I do have someone in mind, but…I don’t have her contact information, so Mr. Xia will have to contact her himself.”
“I have witnessed her abilities; she is even more skilled than my master. If she is willing to help Mr. Xia, it will be twice as effective with half the effort.”
“If she is unwilling, Mr. Xia should not force her. Although the girl seems easy to talk to, she is a woman of her word.”
"The more you force something, the worse the outcome will be."
Suddenly, Li Chengdao remembered Master Jiang.
It just so happens that Master Jiang is also in H City. If Master Jiang is willing to help Xia Yeming take a look at the contents of the box, it would be convenient.
"Could it be that Master Li is referring to..." an old man said, seemingly guessing who Li Chengdao was talking about.
“It’s Master Jiang,” Li Chengdao nodded in response.
"Mr. Bai probably doesn't know, but my cultivation has been able to advance to a higher level this time thanks to Master Jiang." Li Chengdao said, briefly recounting what had happened at the Yi family's old residence to Xia Yeming and the old man.
Master Jiang helped him rediscover his original aspirations and also gave him many insights.
"May I ask, Master Li, how can I contact Master Jiang?" Xia Yeming found the question mysterious, but a glimmer of hope ignited in his heart.
Master Li's praise of Master Jiang shows that Master Jiang is highly skilled.
He would try anything, no matter what, as long as there was even the slightest hope.
"Did Mr. Xia download Pingyin?" Li Chengdao asked.
Xia Yeming shook his head.
He doesn't watch short videos, and perhaps he pays little attention to entertainment or news.
He spends most of his time looking at antiques or calligraphy and paintings...
Otherwise, they read ancient books.
Although he is young, his colleagues all call him...
Old man.
The old man knew how to use platforms, shoot videos, or watch short videos, but he hadn't even downloaded any short video platforms, completely oblivious to what was happening around him.
He's even younger than an old man.
“Mr. Xia, you can download it.” Li Chengdao’s eyes flashed with surprise when he saw Xia Yeming shake his head.
It's surprising that someone so young hasn't downloaded Pingyin these days.
Xia Yeming took out his phone, listened to Li Chengdao, downloaded Pingyin from the store, registered, and changed his nickname to Xia Yeming.
Following Li Chengdao's advice, they then searched for someone called Master Jiang.
Xia Yeming was somewhat surprised to see Master Jiang's tens of millions of fans.
He just doesn't play the game, but that doesn't mean he doesn't understand the significance of having tens of millions of followers, and besides...
