Chapter 2: 2

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Psychic Treasure Mirror could appraise treasures and track their source.

There was nothing in this world that could not be identified, and everything could be traced to its source.

Chen Shaojun’s vision blurred as he ‘saw’ the white clouds on the Psychic Treasure Mirror dissipate. The palace retreated and an ancient piece of green jade appeared.

This ancient piece of green jade was completely green. A carp whose head and tail were connected to each other was carved into the jade. This piece of jade seemed to be the one that he had just used the Divine Vision technique on to appraise.

Furthermore, when Chen Shaojun looked at the patterns on this ancient piece of jade, images of the jade instantly appeared in his mind.

It had turned from stone into jade and was sculpted by a craftsman named Liu Zonghe. Then, a young hunter gave the jade to his wife.

The young couple was very loving. One day, when the young man was hunting, he met with an accident and never returned.

The wife was filled with grief. Every day, she could only hold this green jade and wait for her husband to return.

After many years, she finally fell sick from longing and passed away.

Due to the fact that his wife had always held onto the jade tightly during her illness, his family had buried the jade in the coffin together with his wife.

The green jade had accompanied the corpse for thirty years. Thus, it was nourished with a sinister aura. Furthermore, the wife’s wandering soul seemed to have accompanied the green jade frequently. Thus, the green jade gradually underwent a special change.

Half a month ago, a grave robber dug into the soil and opened the coffin. After a series of fights, he took away the green jade. Then, after going around in circles, the green jade appeared in the Lin Pawnshop…

The images disappeared. Then, the ins and outs of this green jade, its life experiences, and all the people it knew appeared in Chen Shaojun’s mind.

At the same time, the grade of the green jade was displayed on the Psychic Treasure Mirror: Low-Grade Mortal.

The grades shown on the Psychic Treasure Mirror were divided into the Mortal, Magic, Treasure, Spirit, and Immortal grades in ascending order. Furthermore, every single grade was further divided into High, Medium, and Low grades.

A Low-Grade Mortal item was clearly not very good based on this rating system.

Then, Chen Shaojun snapped out of his trance and a medicinal pill appeared in his hand.

It was the Essence Augmenting Pill.

It was as translucent as white wax and was the size of his thumb. Upon smelling it, he could smell a faint fragrance. The fragrance entered his nose and actually made the extremely exhausted Chen Shaojun feel slightly refreshed as if he had somewhat recovered.

This was a Spirit Pill that only cultivators who cultivated the Dao or practiced martial arts would consume to enhance their cultivation and strength.

However, this did not mean that ordinary people could not use it.

One Essence Augmenting Pill could nourish one’s vital energy and strengthen one’s qi and blood. It could also allow an ordinary person to cleanse their marrow and strengthen their spirit.

[The Psychic Treasure Mirror has appraised a treasure. You have received a reward…]

Chen Shaojun was overjoyed. How could he not know that he was lucky enough to have his own cheat?

He wasn’t sure how the Psychic Treasure Mirror fused into his body. Really? Could he really obtain rewards by continuously appraising treasures?

However, at the very least, he understood one thing.

It was that with this Psychic Treasure Mirror in his possession, it should be sufficient to allow him to occupy a greater advantage than others in this treacherous world. It might even allow him to stand at ease and instantly rise to power.

“But.”

“It seems that there are really ghosts in this world…”

He thought of the wandering soul that he had seen with the green jade in the Psychic Treasure Mirror.

Previously, he had only heard of it, but just now, he saw it with his own eyes.

It made him even warier of this world.

Then, Chen Shaojun looked at the crystal clear Essence Augmenting Pill in his hand and a strong desire arose in his heart.

He swallowed it without hesitation.

The pill melted as soon as it entered his mouth. In an instant, cool and special energy surged into his body like a turbulent current. It attached itself to his muscles, bones, and blood as it slowly seeped in.

“Hiss…”

Chen Shaojun sucked in a breath of cold air. He felt a kind of heat and a special kind of cooling sensation in his body at the same time.

The alternation between hot and cold actually made him feel as if his flesh was being tempered and his bones were being cleansed.

Layers of fine filth were also expelled from his body as his body was being tempered and cleansed.

Two hours later…

Chen Shaojun opened his eyes and felt that his current state was unprecedentedly good.

Not only had he fully recovered from the exhaustion of using the Divine Vision technique, but he was also much more vigorous than before.

He clenched his fist slightly and a crisp sound rang out. He could clearly feel that his strength had increased by more than two times.

“As expected of a Spirit Pill used by cultivators to enhance their cultivation.”

Chen Shaojun was overjoyed. He could smell a disgusting stench from his body, but he did not care.

Anything could happen when a pawnbroker was conducting an appraisal. They could encounter a baleful aura, a ghost aura, or even a sinister aura… These were all things that any ‘raw material’ could possess. Every single one of them would cause an apprentice pawnbroker to be in a sorry state and make them slightly smelly. Thus, no one would suspect anything.

He was more concerned about the Psychic Treasure Mirror.

When he appraised a treasure, he would be rewarded.

A Low-Grade Mortal jade pendant had allowed him to obtain the Essence Augmenting Pill that only cultivators would use.

What if it was a Middle-Grade Mortal treasure, a High-Grade Mortal treasure, or even a Treasure-Grade or a Spirit-Grade treasure?

He could not wait to appraise more treasures.

What about his original plan of changing industries and making a living?

He felt that he was just an ordinary person who had come from a peaceful and prosperous era. He had yet to learn how to survive in this world.

There were powerful cultivators and demons running amok outside. How could it be as safe as the Lin Pawnshop in the capital? Countless top experts of the Great Zhou Dynasty were gathered here, and there were soldiers patrolling the streets from time to time. He could also obtain rewards through appraising items. Thus, this was simply a treasure land tailored for him.

He couldn’t bear to leave.

Thus, he had to do his appraisal job properly. Furthermore, he had to send this jade to the storeroom as soon as possible.

Upon thinking of this, Chen Shaojun stood up and walked out of the room with the green jade.

He turned his head and looked at the top of the room. The words “Appraisal Room No. 7” were written there.

There were ten similar rooms next to this room. They were all rooms that the Lin Pawnshop had specially assigned to their apprentices for them to appraise items.

Of course, official pawnbrokers held extraordinary positions. Thus, their rooms were naturally not located here. Not only were their rooms much more spacious, but they were also equipped with specialized facilities. It was said that such facilities were extremely useful in appraising treasures and preventing any possible dangers from occurring.

Chen Shaojun walked along the corridor and soon arrived at a side hall.

There were a few people working in the side hall. Apart from a few odd-job workers and apprentices, one of the most important people was Shen Lang, the ticketing manager, who was in charge of filling in the ticket forms and registration. Another important person was the unpacker Xu Hongtao, who was in charge of collateral packaging and taking care of the bamboo raft signs.

Both of them looked middle-aged. Shen Lang was dressed like a scholar, but he was actually a scholar who failed the examinations. He only managed to become a scholar after three tries.

Meanwhile, Xu Hongtao looked more robust. It was said that he had been in a gang long ago and had some martial arts background.

“Mr. Shen, Uncle Xu.”

Chen Shaojun greeted them.

In the pawnshop, the hierarchy was strict. As an apprentice who had yet to graduate, his status naturally could not compare to that of the two old men.

Furthermore, many appraisals of raw materials by apprentice pawnbrokers were actually done by two people.

Although the ones who picked the raw materials were the official pawnbrokers in the pawnshop, the ones who handed the raw materials to the apprentice pawnbrokers were usually these two.

The two of them had been in the pawnshop for many years. If the apprentices were to offend them by accident, they would surely be delegated raw materials that were difficult to appraise.

“Have you appraised it yet?”

Shen Lang nodded and asked casually.

“Yes, it’s a piece of jade from the Garden of Eden. It’s a Low-Grade item and over thirty years have passed since it was created. Its craftsmanship is above average.”

Chen Shaojun offered the green jade and hesitated for a moment. He did not reveal all the information about the green jade that he had seen using the Psychic Treasure Mirror. He also did not mention that a sinister energy had constantly pervaded the green jade for 30 years, causing it to accumulate a certain amount of sinister energy.

After all, these were not things that an apprentice pawnbroker like him could identify.

He only wanted to earn a living here and appraise the treasures step by step to obtain his rewards. He didn’t want to be too rash.

In this world, keeping a low profile did not necessarily mean that he would be safe. However, if he kept a high profile, he would die very quickly.

This was especially so when he had no strength to protect himself..
