Chapter 108: Laborious Little Brother Palm of the Eye

  "Master, you're not mistaken, are you? This inner chamber has a major yin evil formation, we can't break through it, how is it possible for someone to enter?" Another person asked in a puzzled and soft voice.

  "Hmm!" The old man hummed, slowly regaining his composure. He pointed to the wall of the inner chamber and said, "Don't you feel it? The aura of this large Yin array is very weak at this moment. That one piece is even healing, clearly someone has broken through before. We were too careless this time."

  "Could it be the person who fought with us two nights ago?" another man said.

  "It's highly likely that the opponent is very powerful, and it was only because we three formed an array that we were barely able to fight them to a draw. It's also highly likely that this tomb chamber was opened by the opponent."

  The old man nodded, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes, and said in a cold voice: "At the time, I thought the other party was just coincidentally passing by to attend this year's Southeast Treasure Appraisal Conference. I didn't expect them to have already grasped our whereabouts. That thing is probably in their hands."

  "What should we do then? It's still not good to enter this tomb?"

  "It's too late, judging from the situation, the other party should have just made their move, and several people from our team should have already been harmed." The old man's face was gloomy, but his words were slow and deliberate: "Since the other party has appeared in Shangjiang City, they must be heading for this appraisal meeting. We'll go to Liao Hai first, as long as we meet them, we'll know who it is. Whoever dares to oppose our Jiuxing Gate, I won't let them off easy."

  As he spoke, the old man suddenly slapped his palm against the wall beside him, causing the entire outer chamber to reverberate with a loud crash, before turning around and exiting through the passageway.

  At this time, Ning Yuan and his two companions had already arrived outside the Tong Garden, a thousand miles away. The three brothers were all excited, and this time they could be said to have returned with a full load.

  The inkstone and Qinghua porcelain are not to be mentioned, Ningyuan's plan is to find an opportunity to donate them to the museum. What excited the three of them most was that they got the Frost Bone.

  Although they didn't have a way to nurture this ice spirit for the time being, having such a treasure by their side was reassuring. Later on, it was also very likely that they would find a way to nurture it. Once successful in nurturing it, when facing a powerful Yuan Spirit master, perhaps they could even engage in an all-out battle.

  The most important thing is that this thing is too mysterious, and it's very likely that there are still many secrets in it, the value of which can drive people crazy.

  After returning home, Ningyuan put away a few precious things and looked at the time, which was already past one o'clock in the morning.

  She took out her mobile phone and found that there were over a dozen messages and missed calls on it, all of which were from Chen Yuxin. The messages were also asking if Ningyuan had returned home and what he was doing now.

  It's getting late, Ningyuan hasn't returned the call, took a bath and went to bed.

  The next day, Ningyuan didn't go to the park for practice, and was sleeping soundly in the morning when he was woken up by a ringing phone. He looked at the time and it was already 8 o'clock.

  The phone call was made by Chen Yuxin, naturally to ask about Ningyuan's situation. Ningyuan and Chen Yuxin went downstairs after talking on the phone. He Zhengxun had already prepared dinner, and he and Yao Xinnian were waiting at the dinner table.

  Ningyuan washed his hands and sat down at the dinner table, smiling and asking Yao Xinyan: "Third Brother, did you sleep well last night?"

  "Hehe, not bad, this place is quite good." Yao Xinyan smiled and replied.

  "That's good. Then Third Brother and Second Brother can stay here for a few more days. After dinner, I'll head to Liao Hai City first, you guys come over and give me a call." Ning Yuan said.

  "Let's go today, there is still a week before the appraisal meeting." He Zhengxun said strangely.

  "The school has arranged it, I'll go first." Ning Yuan smiled and said.

  "You go first then, I and Third Master will come in two days. Since it's an antique appraisal meeting, we also need to prepare a few impressive items." He Zhēng Xūn smiled.

  Ning Yuan naturally knew about this and had prepared for it. However, since He Zhengxun said so, it seemed that there was something good, so he didn't remind him again.

  Tian Pangzi called as soon as he finished eating and asked where Ning Yu was staying. He drove over to pick him up himself.

  Ningyuan told Tian Baozi the address, and walked to the entrance of the community. Tian Baozi had also arrived at the entrance of the community, driving a white Jinbei van with several people already on board.

  Ningyuan got on the car, Tian Paozi briefly introduced Ningyuan to a middle-aged man in his fifties with a thin build, named Xu Jinhui. He was formerly a lecturer at Nanhe Medical College and also a professor at Nanhe City Hospital. Both his clinical experience and teaching theory were excellent. Because he was a good friend of Zhao Tenglong's, he was hired by Zhao Tenglong with a high salary.

  Two men in their early forties, one wearing glasses, looking slightly refined, named Zhang Junpeng, a high-achieving graduate of Yanjing Medical College, previously worked as an attending physician at a private hospital.

  Another one who didn't wear glasses was Qin Zhongquan, a native of Shangjiang City, who graduated from Fuhai University and later studied traditional Chinese medicine. He is actually in the same line as Ningyuan and is an apprentice to Lin Qianyuan, a famous domestic doctor known as "Saint Hand".

  These three people are nominally school doctors, but they were all hired by Fudan University at a great cost to lay the foundation for the future medical college, with high salaries and better working conditions than Ningyuan.

  Three people also heard about Ningyuan, after Tian Guanglin's introduction, they shook hands with Ningyuan politely. Zhang Junpeng even warmly pulled Ningyuan and said: "Dr. Ning, I heard that you diverted a giant python in Lianyun Mountain a few days ago, it must have been very dangerous at the time, tell us about it."

  Maybe it's because of the Lianyun Mountain thing, a few people's attitude towards Ningyuan is still pretty good, all the way there was laughter and chatter, at around 12 noon, the group arrived in Liaohai City.

  This time to Liao Hai, it's also a business trip, so Ning Yuan doesn't have to worry about the expenses. Tian Bao Zi has already booked a hotel, which is a three-star hotel in Liao Hai with a very good environment.

  The gathering was at 8 o'clock on the second day, after having lunch in Liao Hai, Ningyuan and a few others had nothing to do, Zhang Junpeng insisted on pulling Ningyuan together to stroll around Liao Hai City.

  Ningyuan also wanted to take the opportunity to understand the situation in Liaohe City. Zhang Junpeng had been in Shangjiang City for many years and was very familiar with Liaohe, making him a good companion.

  On the way, Zhang Junpeng briefly told Ningyuan about the situation of this medical exchange conference. This medical exchange conference was organized by the Donghai Provincial Medical Association, and most of the participants were famous doctors from Donghai Province, including masters of traditional Chinese medicine and experts from Western medicine. The scale was not small, and this exchange conference also received sponsorship from Farhua Group in Liaohe City.

  When Ning Yuan heard the name of Yuanhua Group, he subconsciously furrowed his brow. The reason was simple: Yuanhua Group was precisely the industry giant in Liao Hai City. With only a week left before the appraisal meeting, it just so happened that this exchange conference could be used as an opportunity to get familiar with Di Zong first.

  Zhang Junpeng took Ningyuan to the antique street in Liaohe City. After getting off the car, he enthusiastically introduced: "This antique street in Liaohe City is also one of the largest in the eastern province, although it can't compare with Panjiayuan in Yanjing, but it's not far behind. Inside, there are not only antiques and calligraphy paintings, but also jade stone materials, and people often come here to gamble on stones."

  "Does Dr. Zhang also like antiques?" Ning Yuan asked with a smile, he didn't expect that Zhang Junpeng would bring him to Antique Street, this antique was his favorite after all.

  Moreover, Ning Yuan separately gave a jade gourd to Gu Fenglin and Chen Yuxin, while his own jade token was taken by Ouyang Shasha. He had been thinking of selecting a few good pieces of jade to re-cultivate some protective artifacts.

  As for the several pieces of jade that were brought out from Yu Qian's tomb yesterday, because the evil energy is too heavy, they cannot be used as protective instruments for the time being and need to be tempered for a period of time to eliminate the evil energy on them.

  "Occasionally playing around, this thing is not something ordinary people can afford to play with, I'm just here to watch the excitement." Zhang Junpeng chuckled.

  As they spoke, the two of them had already entered the antique street. The antique street was lined with legitimate antique shops on both sides, and there were also vendors setting up stalls by the roadside. There were many pedestrians on the street, some of whom came to join in the excitement, while others came to search for bargains. Although it's said that nine out of ten items here are genuine, if you're not careful, you might stumble upon a rare find and make a fortune.

  "Authentic sheep's fat jade, Qing dynasty's blue and white porcelain, genuine goods at a fair price, no cheating of the young or old."

  "Zhang Daqian's calligraphy and painting are absolutely genuine, friends who like calligraphy and painting must not miss this opportunity."

  Entering the antique street, you can still hear a few loud shouts from time to time. This antique street is no different from the vegetable market, and business people are indeed all the same.

  "How much is this snuff bottle?" Ning Yuan came to a stall and picked up a jade snuff bottle, asking casually.

  "This little brother has a good eye, this snuff bottle is a Qing dynasty item, it was used by Ji Xiaolan, it's absolutely worth collecting. I won't cheat you, 50,000 yuan, take it away. If it wasn't for seeing that you're here for the first time and wanting to build a good relationship, this price wouldn't be possible." The stall owner, an old man in his sixties with a shrewd face, smiled and approached him to introduce himself.

  "Has Ji Xiaolan used it?" Ning Yuan smiled and played with the snuff bottle, saying: "Ji Xiaolan uses a big pipe, when did she ever use a snuff bottle?"

  When Ningyuan said that, the stall owner didn't get a bit angry or embarrassed, and still smiled: "Who says Ji Xiaolan can't use snuff bottles? Little brother must have read too much 'Iron Teeth Copper Teeth Ji Xiaolan', the things I sell here are absolutely trustworthy."

  "Haha, this thing has an obvious layer of smoke on its surface, and the color is not quite right. At a glance, it's clear that someone used it within the past year. The jade quality isn't great either, and the carving time can't be more than three years. It seems like Ji Xiaolan didn't live to see this time." Ning Yuan put down the snuff bottle with a smile.

  Ning Yuan's words fell, and the old man finally changed color this time. He looked Ning Yuan up and down twice, and said with a click: "I didn't expect that young brother would be an expert, with good eyesight. Since that's the case, I'll give you this snuff bottle as a gift, just to get to know each other."

  "Old man, this snuff bottle may not be the real deal, but it's still worth a few thousand bucks. I don't take something for nothing." Ning Yuan said with a smile.

  Hearing Ningyuan say this, the old man looked around a few times, then gently pulled on Ningyuan's arm and walked him a few steps away before saying in a low voice: "Young brother, since you can tell at a glance where this snuff bottle comes from, your eyes must be extraordinary. I have something that I hope you can take a look at for me, how about it?"
