Chapter 7: The Strange Team With Fourth Brother not around, I locked the door from the inside and lay down on the bed, reflecting on everything that had happened today, especially that Nine-Ring Jade Casket. When Tian Yuqing asked me to take a closer look the second time, I did notice something I hadn't seen before. On the right side of the casket, there was a faint painting applied with a special kind of paint, which I hadn't noticed at first. I guessed it must be a unique paint that only becomes…-

Chapter 6: The Beginning of Turmoil After Tan Qiu left, Fourth Brother handed me fifty yuan and sent me off as well. Of course, I was more than happy to take the money. I quickly ran to the street corner stall to enjoy a bowl of cold jelly, and then headed to the supermarket to buy a few toothbrushes. On my way back from the supermarket, I saw the entire production street lined with mobile stalls selling New Year prints and couplets. If there's one thing Henan never lacks, it's people. Every year, the…

Chapter 5: No Solution I'm a low-key person. Even without Fourth Brother's reminders, I would naturally avoid discussing it. The Outer Eight Trades desperately lack experts in mechanisms. Even a superficial understanding often gets one called upon for tasks, let alone someone like me who has studied for over a decade. Both my grandfather and Fourth Brother are in complete agreement about whether I should enter this field. I tend to oversimplify certain issues, and my grandfather believes I sometimes…

Chapter 4: Several Theories Generally speaking, items that are locked tend to be of considerable value. At the time, I had several basic theories, which I will outline here to aid in understanding later on. The first possibility is that the owner of the Jade Casket never intended for anyone to open it a hundred years later, hence the nine silver ring locks. The Nine Rings are locked tightly inside the casket, forming a deadlock. However, there's a glaring flaw in this line of thinking. If the item is…

Chapter 3: Nine-Ring Jade Casket The woman's presence was intimidating. As she took her seat, Rogue Tan across from her dared not curse further. Yet his sharp tongue couldn't resist sarcasm: "Oh, Yu Jingzi, tread carefully. While the Central Plains Ying Gan Hall is a fine place, Chen Si might not be inclined to have a candlelit chat with you." His words were laden with meaning, and I understood them well. Reflecting on the situation, something indeed seemed odd. Chen Si and I grew up together, and I…

Chapter 2: Fourth Brother's Guest Inside a courtyard on Longshan Road in Langling, Henan, I sat on a long bench, having waited for over an hour. The half cup of tea in my hand had been refilled and cooled numerous times. I checked my watch for the 32nd time, thinking that if no one showed up in ten minutes, I'd buy a train ticket for the afternoon and leave. This private residence was left by my grandfather. It was kept very clean, with a spirit tablet and incense burner on the altar. My grandfather's…

Chapter 1: The Beginning In truth, the start of many stories often stretches back much further than we imagine. That box wasn't famous at first; it appeared without any warning. In the late 1970s in New China, a few old farmers were leaning on their shovels, which were stuck deep in the ground. Zhu Laosan took a few deep drags from the cigarette dangling from his mouth, the sparks briefly flickering in the pitch-black mountain hollow. "Zhu Laosan, are you seeing things? We all grew up in these…

Chapter 126 — Heart The chief teams of both sides immediately switched positions, surrounding Lian Mu. Gu Qingyu sneered, “So you’re actually a Heavenly Spiritual Root. No wonder you’re always so arrogant.” Lu Feishuang said coldly, “The Returning Immortal Sect has a Heavenly Spiritual Root sword cultivator and still kept it hidden? Did you think you could stage a comeback with this? Let me test your limits today.” Of everyone present, only Ying You didn’t move. He stared at the sword…-
