It was the Psychic Treasure Mirror!
Chen Shaojun was overjoyed.
The Psychic Treasure Mirror had appeared.
This meant that the appraisal was complete and the baleful aura had dissipated. It also meant that the ghost had also died in the body of the black dog following his knife attack.
"That was really dangerous…"
"Fortunately, I was well prepared. Otherwise, it would be hard to tell if I would live or die."
Chen Shaojun sighed. Even now, he was still scared and felt that his methods were lacking.
If it was possible, he should try his best not to accept such a dangerous appraisal mission in the future.
After all, he had the Spiritual Eye technique that allowed him to avoid danger in advance.
The Psychic Treasure Mirror was currently tracing the source of the treasure.
Then, Chen Shaojun saw a series of images related to the jade ruyi.
It was first formed 100 years ago, but the jade ruyi from that time was slightly different from now.
After the jade ruyi was cleansed, it returned to its original appearance.
It was sparkling and glittering. It could truly be called a beautiful jade.
However, the most eye-catching thing was the oval-shaped pearl wrapped in jade on the upper part of the jade ruyi. Only less than half of the pearl could be seen.
The pearl was dark green in color and emitted a special glow. It was extremely beautiful.
In particular, the fluorescent lights it emitted were breathtakingly beautiful in the dark night.
Furthermore, in fact, a hundred years ago, when the jade ruyi was formed, the pearl at the top of the jade did not exist.
"It should have been embedded later on."
As Chen Shaojun guessed this, an explanation appeared on the screen.
Twenty years ago, the owner of the jade ruyi was a patrolling guard in the inspection office of the imperial court. When the patrolling guard was patrolling an official's house, he received bribes and obtained a batch of treasures. This Spirit Pearl was one of them.
As he was afraid of being investigated, he hid the treasures he obtained in a secret land. He even asked a specialized craftsman to embed the Spirit Pearl into the jade ruyi.
The jade ruyi was his own heirloom, and everyone knew about it.
With the Spirit Pearl embedded in it, the Spirit Pearl would naturally belong to him, and he wouldn't have to fear being questioned.
However, if one did too many immoral things, they would eventually be punished.
While in the middle of receiving a bribe, he was discovered and arrested on the spot.
The inspection office had strict rules. Thus, the rest of the patrolling guards were also sent into exile. After several twists and turns, the jade ruyi ended up in Zhao Quan's hands.
Zhao Quan did not know the origins of the jade ruyi. However, he knew that it was an extraordinary treasure.
He had the temperament of a scholar. Whenever there was something good, he would be unable to contain himself from showing off to his friends. Thus, after obtaining this treasure, he showed it off to his friends several times.
When he was showing the treasure to his friends, Chen Shaojun also saw the figure of the scar-faced man among the crowd.
It was worth mentioning that the scar-faced man's surname was Peng.
Furthermore, the owner of the jade ruyi 20 years ago also had the surname Peng.
…
The image disappeared.
Then, the Psychic Treasure Mirror determined the grade of the item.
The jade ruyi was a High-Grade Mortal treasure.
"How is that possible?"
"How is it only a High-Grade Mortal treasure?"
Chen Shaojun was stunned and in disbelief.
The jade ruyi was covered in a sinister aura and had over a hundred wisps of baleful aura. Furthermore, a ghostly shadow was also entrenched within the jade ruyi. Thus, in his opinion, such a treasure should be at least at the Magic-Level.
Thus, he did not expect that it was only at the Mortal-Level.
Could it be that treasures at the Magic-Level were really that rare?
A reward appeared, and a ruler appeared in his hand.
Before he could take a closer look at the ruler.
Ding!
The Psychic Treasure Mirror determined the grade of the Spirit Pearl.
It was an Elemental Spirit Pearl, a Low-Grade Treasure item. It could allow one to accumulate their spirit, gather their aura, refine their body, increase their lifespan, and establish their foundation…
"Oh?"
"There's another item?"
"Could it be that there were two treasures?"
"Furthermore, it's even a Low-Grade Treasure item!"
Chen Shaojun was stunned. A trace of joy quickly bloomed on his face.
When he thought about it, it made sense.
The difficulty of appraising this treasure was something he had never seen before in his life.
There were only a few instances in the Imperial Notes that could match the level of danger that he faced this time.
Those treasures were not ordinary items.
Thus, it was very normal for his reward to surpass the Magic-Level and be determined as a Treasure-Level item by the Psychic Treasure Mirror.
Then, the reward immediately appeared in his mind.
It was the Supreme Sense Scripture.
He had obtained two rewards from one appraisal.
The first reward was a ruler.
The ruler was not an ordinary object either. It was called the Baleful Breaking Ruler.
Its effect was very simple. It could shatter baleful auras.
Everyone in the pawnshop knew how valuable this treasure was for pawnbrokers.
Once a pawnbroker started cleansing a treasure, there would be no turning back.
Either the baleful aura was cleansed, or the pawnbroker would not be able to withstand the baleful aura, causing it to enter their bodies. As a result, their bodies and souls would be damaged, and the worst possible outcome would be dying on the spot.
However, the Baleful Breaking Ruler would be able to disrupt the continuous stream of baleful aura and stop the treasure appraisal to preserve one's life.
To the pawnbrokers in the pawnshop, this was no less than a supreme treasure.
"This is the most suitable treasure for me."
"If I had this Baleful Breaking Ruler before today's appraisal, I would not have been in such a sorry state when facing the sinister aura that covered the treasure."
Chen Shaojun recalled how he was trapped by the baleful aura and could not move an inch.
He was over the moon for having received this reward.
With this, it would be much easier for him to appraise treasures in the future.
Even if he were to face treasures with even more violent baleful auras, he wouldn't be helpless.
If he made a mistake in the appraisal process, he could simply use the Baleful Breaking Ruler to interrupt the appraisal. Then, he could split the entire cleansing process into two, three, or even four appraisals.
As for the second reward…
It was the Supreme Sense Scripture.
Chen Shaojun received the relevant memories as the scripture deeply engraved itself into his mind. Then, he suddenly understood.
This was a Daoist scripture.
What was a Daoist scripture?
It contained a Daoist cultivation method.
He wasn't sure if this was a Daoist cultivation method that was prevalent in this world.
However, it was indeed a cultivation method to strengthen one's soul by sensing the wonders of the Heavenly Cycle and visualizing the changes in the world.
The cultivation method was also simple and straightforward to execute.
He immediately visualized the pattern.
There was a Heavenly Cycle Stellar Array attached to the Supreme Sense Scripture.
There were countless stars on the Stellar Array.
Chen Shaojun only needed to visualize the Heavenly Cycle Stellar Array in his mind and sense the stars within it.
There was no need to meditate, nor was there any need to circulate his energy.
The entire process was all in his mind, and it could be interrupted at any time.
"It's somewhat similar to the Eternal Spring Breathing Technique I previously obtained."
"Of course, the Supreme Sense Scripture must be many times more brilliant."
Chen Shaojun immediately started visualizing.
In the Stellar Array, the stars seemed to be pulling him in from a distance. Then, a star formed in his mind, followed by a second and a third…
While he was visualizing this, a mysterious attractive force appeared in Chen Shaojun's body, attracting the countless auras around him to slowly enter his body.
These auras seemed to contain some mysterious good fortune.
It moistened his flesh and blood, nourished his limbs and bones, expanded his meridians, and finally gathered in his
Every time he visualized the Stellar Array, he would obtain a trace of qi.
This could occur once every hour. If he did this ten times a day, he would obtain ten traces of qi.
Ten traces of qi could be transformed into a wisp of spiritual energy. Thus, he could obtain a wisp of spiritual energy in a day.
"The Supreme Sense Scripture is truly wondrous."
Chen Shaojun opened his eyes and felt the 'qi' in his body. He was touched.
After struggling bitterly, he was finally on the path of cultivation.
