Chapter 41 of Volume 1: Curing Illness for One's Parents

  "With Little Liu around, I think we can retire in a few years!"

  Ye Laoshi smiled and said a sentence, Zhang Laoshi nodded in agreement, and Lin Liang also looked at Liu Yi Yang with shining eyes.

  Today's small test fully proves that Liu Yi Yang was not relying on luck to identify the authenticity of the vase last time, but he already had a deep foundation and was able to discover loopholes under careful observation, helping the store avoid losses.

  "Teacher Ye, you're overpraising me, if nothing else I'll head to work first and finish early today!"

  Liu Yi Yang stood up with a smile, in front of him were several other treasures, but none of them were as valuable as the Kangxi Mingyao Yinxian Tu Qinghua Bowl. He took a look at the purchase list and saw that it was written for 3 million.

  The purchase price is 300,000, and the selling price will definitely exceed 300,000. Qinghua porcelain has always been a hot item, and it's possible to sell it for 400,000 or even more.

  "Alright, you go ahead and busy yourself, I'll arrange for Hua Wang Long Pei's things and prepare a conspicuous spot to display them!"

  Lin Liang smiled and nodded, the more he looked at Liu Yi Yang, the more he liked him. The young man was not arrogant, nor impatient, but had a progressive heart. Such people would be valued wherever they went.

  Unfortunately, the temple gate of Xuan Ya Zhai is too small, and it's unknown whether they can keep a genius like Liu Yi Yang.

  Don't look at Liu Yi Yang's talent just now, but Lin Liang can almost predict that in a few years, Liu Yi Yang will be either unheard of or make a stunning debut. Once Liu Yi Yang becomes famous, it will be difficult for Xuan Ya Zhai to keep him.

  Lin Feng sat at the door for a while before sending in today's maintenance items, Liu Yi Yang arrived a bit early, Lin Feng wasn't fully prepared yet.

  Sitting in his own workshop, Liu Yi Yang concentrated his mind and began to slowly carry out routine maintenance on the antique pieces under his hands.

  A strand of red spiritual energy continuously pierced into Liu Yi Yang's brain, unfortunately the comfortable feeling was not as obvious as before. Moreover, in Liu Yi Yang's heart there was a continuous yearning to absorb more spiritual energy.

  Although he didn't quite understand what was going on, Liu Yi Yang could almost be certain that the red light pillar that killed the zombies must have something to do with these spirits.

  Yesterday, when he was dreaming, he dreamed of that huge copper mirror again. The red color emanating from the 'Qian' character above the copper mirror was not as bright as before, and the information "needs more spiritual energy" kept flooding his mind, giving him an extreme longing.

  Perhaps the spiritual energy used to kill zombies that day was the spiritual energy he had stored up before.

  With this idea, Liu Yi Yang was even more diligent in absorbing the spiritual energy. Who knows if Ouyang Xun would suddenly take out a divine mirror and drag him to find zombies or slay demons? At that time, without spiritual energy, he wouldn't be able to let the divine artifact protect himself, and his little life would be over.

  The spiritual energy continued to replenish in his body, and Liu Yi Yang's spirit also became better and better. With less than twenty minutes left before two hours, he had already completed all the maintenance work, which was a lot earlier than usual.

  At this time, it was still broad daylight outside.

  "Lin, big brother, I've finished!"

  He walked out and greeted Lin Feng, Liu Yi Yang directly left the antique shop. To Liu Yi Yang's work speed being faster than before, Lin Feng was also not surprised. Just now he had personally heard Ye Shifu and others say that Liu Yi Yang was a genius, and geniuses naturally did things differently from ordinary people.

  Leaving the antique shop, Liu Yi Yang quickly walked towards the bank next door.

  On the screen of the ATM, Liu Yi Yang looked at the number '4' in front of him and his mood became excited again. The antique shop had transferred 400,000 yuan for selling the jade pendant to his card. Now, adding up his previous savings, Liu Yi Yang had a total deposit of 460,000 yuan.

  460,000 can buy a pretty good house in Licheng, my hometown.

  Without any hesitation, Liu Yi Yang directly went into the bank and quickly transferred the 400,000 yuan from his card to his father's bank account. After doing all this, he walked out and gave his father a call.

  Actually, after knowing the value of the jade pendant, Liu Yiyang had already thought of selling it, for no other reason than his ailing parents.

  Liu Yi Yang's father used to work in a textile factory, he was an ordinary worker. Now he is unemployed and stays at home. When he worked, he left behind the troublesome disease of asthma, which has not been cured until now. He can't do any heavy labor and can only set up a small stall at the door of his house to sell some shoes, socks, cloth shoes and other things to supplement his family's expenses.

  Liu Yi Yang's mother is also a laid-off worker, and her body is not good either. The rheumatoid arthritis she had since childhood has become very serious now. Due to the family's tight finances, they cannot afford proper treatment, so she can only drag herself around at home, occasionally taking care of the stall.

  Both of their illnesses can be treated, but the treatment will require a significant amount of money. Liu Yiyang had calculated before that his father's asthma would need to be treated at a provincial-level hospital, and the initial estimate was that it would cost 200,000 yuan for treatment, which could alleviate his condition and allow him to sleep without coughing every day and suffering constantly.

  And his mother's arthritis can be treated in a hospital at home in Luoyang, last summer Liu Yi Yang accompanied her mother to see a doctor, unfortunately the medical expenses of over 100,000 yuan scared away his mother, this time with money he must let her go to the hospital for systematic treatment.

  These can be said to have been planned by Liu Yi Yang long before.

  He hung up the phone and when he looked up again, Liu Yi Yang's face was filled with a brilliant smile. Earlier on the phone, he had felt his father's initial suspicion and subsequent excitement.

  400,000 yuan is an absolute fortune for the family. Liu Yi Yang had to use a lot of effort to clearly explain the process of how he got this lucky break, in order for his father to accept the existence of this money.

  Fortunately, the two elderly people usually like to watch TV and have watched some appraisal programs, so Liu Yi Yang didn't have to say much about picking up leaks, otherwise it would be more troublesome.

  His father has promised him that after the summer vacation, after his younger brother's college entrance examination, he will go to the hospital for treatment and alleviate his physical condition. In this way, both brothers will have time to accompany each other in the hospital.

  Look up at the sky, the sky seems to have become bluer and brighter. Things that were thought to be solved in a few years can now be done, which also makes Liu Yi Yang's mood much better. After coming out of the bank, he strolled around the antique city, absorbing some spiritual energy on one hand, and looking for suitable leaks to pick up on the other, to make more money.

  No one would refuse more money, Liu Yi Yang also wanted to buy a big house for his family, so that his parents who had worked hard for half their lives could enjoy themselves.

  After leaving the bank, Liu Yiyang went to a nearby bookstore since he still had some time.

  It was actually during the Kangxi period that people were able to distinguish the true age of Jiajing Guanyao porcelain, which is indeed a testament to Lingqi's abilities. However, everything he said afterwards was just knowledge he had gained from books; if he hadn't read those books, he wouldn't have been able to say any of it.

  Today, Ye Laoshi's evaluation of Huai Wang Long Pei made Liu Yi Yang very admiring. Collecting these things is not just about understanding a few Qinghua patterns or finding some loopholes, it requires a lot of knowledge and a very solid foundation.

  To say nothing of other things, just the historical figures and geographical features alone are a vast knowledge base. Without many years of rich learning accumulation, it is impossible to remember so much, let alone recite the origin of King Huai offhand.

  Going to the bookstore is enriching oneself and supplementing knowledge.

  The bookstore had a lot of books, and Liu Yi Yang bought five or six after which he left satisfied. In the past when he came to buy books, he would always hesitate, looking at which books were on sale, calculating how much money he had in his pocket before making a purchase. After receiving his bonus and selling his jade pendant, Liu Yi Yang was generous for the first time, buying books without even looking at the prices, as long as he liked them, he would take them down.

  This feeling made Liu Yi Yang feel very comfortable.

  In the evening while waiting for Liu Wei, Liu Yi Yang received another call from his mother and younger brother, both of whom were still asking about the 400,000 yuan.

  Younger brother Liu Yiguang seemed very excited, and on the phone he said that he wanted his parents to go to the hospital early, to end their suffering from illness as soon as possible, and he could take time off to accompany them together.

  His request was naturally rejected by Liu Yi Yang. Even if he accompanied him, he himself would accompany him, and he absolutely could not delay his preparation for the college entrance examination.

  Two brothers have been very close since childhood, and they are also very sensible. Their parents gave them the name "Sunshine". Both of their lives are very optimistic, sunny, although the family conditions have not been very good since childhood, but both of them work hard and are the pride of their parents.

  Hanging up the phone, Liu Yi Yang then started counting down the time.

  His younger brother's feelings he could understand, and at the same time he also felt some guilt, having money should have let his parents go for treatment first rather than waiting.

  However, he really can't leave now. Fortunately, it's already early June, and there are only half a month until the summer vacation. This half-month period can be used to let his parents go to the hospital for examination. After the examination is done, no matter what treatment method is used, at that time, he will be able to rush back.

  With this decision, Liu Yi Yang's heart also relaxed a lot, and what was left was just to persuade his parents.

  Back to the dormitory with Liu Wei, Liu Yi Yang was immediately stared at by several people in the dormitory again, and after a stir, he stopped. The reason for staring at him is still related to Ouyang Xuan. At this time, the people in the dormitory did not know that he had an additional 400,000 cash today.

  He didn't mention this kind of thing either, Liu Yiyang's temperament is not fond of showing off.

  Nothing happened overnight, and Liu Yi Yang got up early the next day.

  His body had recovered, and his spirit was much stronger than before. However, the habit of early morning exercise hadn't changed. After running a lap around the playground, Liu Yi Yang returned to his dormitory with a hint of depression.

  In the past, he would always sweat a lot after running and then come back to take a refreshing cold shower. Today, he didn't even break a sweat when he ran, but he wanted to run with all his might. Unfortunately, there were too many people on the playground, and he was also afraid of being discovered by others, so he could only return with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

  This also made Liu Yi Yang plan to change places for early morning exercise. In a deserted place, he can let go completely.

  No classes in the morning, Liu Yi Yang didn't wake them up either, he changed his clothes and went to the antique city.

  Today's work went even more smoothly, finishing three minutes earlier than yesterday. The more spiritual energy he absorbed, the faster Liu Yi Yang felt his speed was, not just his running speed, but the speed at which he did everything had increased significantly.

  What he didn't expect was that today's most valuable treasure among the preserved items was actually his own Huáng Wáng Lóng Péi.

  Long Pei was about to be placed in a conspicuous position in the store, but before that, it had to undergo routine maintenance. Liu Yi Yang is now the chief maintenance officer of the store's full-force cultivation, and this treasure belongs to him, so he naturally handed it over to him.
