I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 242. Spiritual Jade Pot

At this moment, Jiang Haiyan rose first, holding a sandalwood box and stepping forward. After opening it, inside was a piece of calligraphy.

"Often hear my father say Manager Hua enjoys antique curios, here is an ’Imitating Tang Huaisu’s Holy Mother Scroll,’ please appraise it!"

"Hisss—Song Huizong’s genuine work!"

Hua Ruoxi drew in a breath of cold air and hurriedly removed the mutton fat jade thumb ring from his hand, picking up the calligraphy.

"Song Huizong’s thin gold script calligraphy has always been highly acclaimed, but this piece is uniquely even, mature, and wonderfully indescribable!"

His face was intoxicated, but his hands appeared somewhat blurred, conspicuously covered with Innate True Qi, acting as gloves!

This action was solely to protect the cultural relic, but it also made everyone watch with a twinge of heartache.

To have it bestowed to oneself would save countless days and nights of hard work!

Meanwhile, Jiang Haiyan held her head high, proudly asking, "Does this piece meet Manager Hua’s standards?"

"It does, it does, truly a treasure."

Hua Ruoxi nodded again and again, then raised his hand toward Jiang Haiyan.

Jiang Haiyan extended her hand to meet his palm...

The next second, the air around their palms briefly became indistinct.

Jiang Haiyan’s body was instantly drenched in sweat, with high-temperature steam rising, as if she had eaten a spicy hot pot in the heat of summer.

She was very satisfied, clasping her fists and saying, "Not bad, enough for a full Grand Circulation, Manager Hua is truly trustworthy!"

"That’s right, that’s right."

Hua Ruoxi responded casually, injecting another stream of True Qi into the ’Imitating Tang Huaisu’s Holy Mother Scroll’ in his hand.

The paper and ink brightened instantly, obviously receiving blessings and protection.

The old eunuch truly cherished this piece of calligraphy.

Xia Weiyun explained to Lu Li:

"Innate True Qi can be infused into weapons, turning mortal iron into divine arms. Refining God Cultivators who reach the Innate Realm can wield Flying Swords that truly slice through iron as if it were mud!"

Lu Li nodded continuously, full of admiration.

Other attendees looked at the piece of calligraphy with faces full of regret.

They regretted the waste of True Qi, and also that they had no opportunity themselves. freēnovelkiss.com

An ’Imitating Tang Huaisu’s Holy Mother Scroll’ of this caliber was indeed a rare treasure.

For a group of youngsters, it was even harder to come by than a thousand gold, only a Governor’s daughter could casually bring out such an item.

Then, Mr. Xu from the Governor’s house came forward with a ’Letter of Affairs.’

Hua Ruoxi couldn’t get enough of it:

"Zeng Gong’s genuine handwriting, with elongated characters and vigorous strokes, good! Good! Good!"

Calling out good several times, he also gave Mr. Xu True Qi for a full Circulation on the spot.

The crowd watched with envy as more people presented various paintings and antiques.

But they were just antiques "for display," none catching Hua Ruoxi’s eye, showing that meeting the requirements for these cultural relics was no easy feat.

After a moment, no more people came forward.

Hua Ruoxi secretly frowned, and tried to motivate the crowd:

"Gentlemen, what I’m offering is True Qi for a full Circulation, the price is fair and conscientious, and there are only 10 slots available, don’t miss this opportunity!"

After a silence, Mr. Liang clasped his fists and said, "Please allow us some time to consider."

Hua Ruoxi then turned to look at Lu Li, wondering why this young man still hadn’t made a move.

Lu Li just wanted to keep a low profile...

Hua Ruoxi, sharp as ever, had a vague idea in his mind.

Seeing that no one else made a move after a while, he said:

"That’ll be all for today, I will be waiting at the Astor Restaurant for everyone. As for credibility, Mr. Nan will vouch for me, ensuring no deception to young or old~"

Nan Jiping stood up calmly with a nod, instantly easing many people’s concerns.

~~~~~~~~~~

The attendees hurried away to consult with their elders at home.

Meanwhile, Lu Li, along with Xia Weiyun and Nan Jiping, went straight to Hua Ruoxi’s suite.

"Young Master Lu, now that there are no idle folks around, may I know your business?"

Hua Ruoxi nonchalantly glanced at the boxes being carried by several Puppets, realizing there was a significant deal to discuss.

Indeed, Lu Li immediately asked, "Mr. Hua, how much Circulation of internal breath can you offer?"

"True to someone from a family with mines, unlike those penniless merchants!"

Hua Ruoxi sat up straight, in a shrill voice declared, "I can offer Young Master Lu True Qi for ten full Grand Circulations!"

"Ten times..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Li realized that he could only spend half of the gold he had brought.

He was about to ask the eunuch if he could sell more when Nan Jiping suddenly spoke up:

"Hua Ruoxi, where did you get so much True Qi? Don’t you value your life?"

True Qi is the essence of life; using too much can affect the body, but overexertion can shorten one’s lifespan.

Hua Ruoxi put on the thumb ring and said, "A hermit has his own clever plans, so you, Power Warrior, needn’t worry."

He then looked toward Lu Li, ready to seal this lucrative deal.

However, Nan Jiping spoke to Lu Li first:

"Mr. Lu, currently all countries and governors are hoarding gold, you might want to wait, you could get a Great Grandmaster to make a move."

"Shut your damn mouth, you old turtle!"

Hua Ruoxi’s face reddened with anger. First, he scolded Nan Jiping with an orchid finger and then immediately switched to a pleasant expression toward Lu Li:

"Young Master Lu, don’t listen to this old fool, suggesting a Great Grandmaster would act. Great Grandmasters only kill for treasures!"

Lu Li nodded, first thanking Mr. Nan, "Mr. Nan, I am indeed in need of True Qi for refinement, so it’s worth spending the money."

Then he snapped his fingers, and three puppets immediately opened the boxes in their hands, unleashing a dazzling golden light.

At that moment, Nan Jiping, Xia Weiyun, and Hua Ruoxi involuntarily took deep breaths, realizing there were about one ton, or twenty thousand taels, of gold!

Hua Ruoxi’s face turned even redder with excitement!

With all this gold, he would exceed his task for this trip! Afterwards, he could focus on collecting antiques, worry-free!

But then, with a wave of his hand, Lu Li had Puppet Zero start closing the box.

"Mr. Hua, if you only have ten Circulations, then I can only afford to keep half the gold."

"Wait a moment!"

Hua Ruoxi spoke up to stop him.

After pondering for a few seconds, he suddenly ran back to the bedroom, and not long after, he came out with a beautiful "White Jade Tea Pot"?

Seeing this object, Nan Jiping suddenly realized: "No wonder you claimed to have ten Circulations of True Qi. So you had this."

"That’s right," Hua Ruoxi declared,

"This is a ’Spiritual Jade Pot’ that can store True Qi and Spirit. There’s always idle time on regular days; store the good stuff in here and use it when needed. Isn’t that wonderful?"

The item piqued Lu Li’s interest.

The old eunuch handed the pot to him, boasting,

"This pot is entirely made from ’Spirit Jade,’ smooth and exquisite, with top-notch craftsmanship. Plus, it has a miraculous effect—turn plain water into ’Spiritual Spring’ overnight if left inside! Truly, a family heirloom!"

Lu Li nodded again and again as he listened, and Hua Ruoxi revealed his true motive: "A family treasure, for ten thousand gold, not too pricey, right?"

"Well, uh..."

Nan Jiping was about to say that such an item required Refining Spirit Meditation level to use and was somewhat overpriced as a family treasure...

But Hua Ruoxi glared at him, pulling out a booklet and reading:

"In ’75, you followed Zuo Zongtang to the Western Border, insisting on lugging a heavy artillery cannon. Our family begged high and low to get that cannon out of the capital’s armory, and you lost it!"

"During the Sino-Japanese Period, you, old fellow, were guarding the Zhiyuan Ship. After it sank, you nearly became fish food in the sea until our family rescued you with a rowboat!"

...

The booklet clearly recorded past favors and debts, with Nan Jiping owning a considerable share. He was rendered speechless at the moment.

Lu Li smiled and nodded, and the three puppets placed the boxes beside Hua Ruoxi.

"Young Master Lu is generous!"

Hua Ruoxi touched the gold bricks and knew immediately that they were of high purity, and his face burst into a delighted smile.

Then he enthusiastically began to explain how to use the "Spiritual Jade Pot":

"This pot can be controlled directly with the Spirit, or you can add alcohol, tea, or water to be transformed into Spiritual Brew for slow enjoyment. Truly a myriad of miraculous uses!"

"Understood," said Lu Li.

It wasn’t difficult; Lu Li fiddled with it and understood everything, and indeed, it contained enough True Qi for ten Circulations.

With that, the transaction was perfectly complete.

Lu Li was contemplating taking his leave when he heard Hua Ruoxi say to Nan Jiping:

"You owe me so many favors, accompany me to the Jiushan Sect."

"You’re going to the Jiushan Sect to settle scores?"

"Why wouldn’t I? How can the Emperor’s Spirit Vein beneath our feet go unnoticed!"

Hearing this conversation, Lu Li showed a glimmer of interest and was in no hurry to leave, eager to gather more intelligence.
