I stormed down the mountain, took down all the big shots in the city, and the female CEO dragged me

"It's really not very useful."

Xu Yuan could tell that Master Yin's words had a hidden meaning, that he was only after money and didn't understand the magic artifact in front of him at all, so looking at it was a waste of time.

"They're all just a pile of junk, yet they have the nerve to call them magical artifacts."

It takes up way too much space here.

"What did you say?"

Master Yin, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped and turned to stare at Xu Yuan with hostility: "You're saying all of these are junk?"

"What an ignorant fool."

"Of course, you're just an ordinary person, so I don't blame you for not being able to see the intricacies."

He casually pointed to the antiques in the distance: "You'd better pick one and leave quickly, this isn't a place just anyone can come to."

Ding Chen opened his mouth with a grim expression, wanting to offer some advice.

"Master Yin..."

Knowing Master Yin's temperament, he realized he couldn't persuade him, so he lowered his head and turned to Xu Yuan: "Mr. Xu, Master Yin is just like this, please don't take it to heart."

Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?

Ding Chen pointed to the magical artifacts in the cabinet: "These magical artifacts were all obtained by Elder Ye from all over the world at great expense and effort. They were examined by experts and are all high-quality items."

They just lack an owner to activate them.

"Mr. Xu, why don't you take a closer look?"

"You can see it again later."

Xu Yuan waved his hand dismissively, showing no concern for Master Yin's attitude.

"Let's talk about this."

He reached for a jade bottle on the cabinet, but Master Yin suddenly shouted angrily, "Stop!"

Master Yin returned and stood coldly in front of Xu Yuan: "Who told you to take it with your hands?"

"You can look, but you can't touch it. What will happen if you break it?"

"Well…"

Ding Chen quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Master Yin, Old Master Ye agreed, Mr. Xu can move, please don't be angry."

After explaining to Master Yin, Ding Chen comforted Xu Yuan, saying, "Master Yin has a strange temper, please forgive him."

Xu Yuan didn't mind, exchanged a glance with the bald old man, chuckled, and withdrew his outstretched hand.

"This jade bottle might have been considered a magical artifact before."

But its lifespan has come to an end; now it's just a pretty face, not even as good as a porcelain bowl for eating.

"You're displaying it here like a treasure, which might fool those who don't know better."

If someone in the know saw this, they'd probably laugh their heads off.

"What makes you think it's just for show?"

Master Yin was delighted to hear Xu Yuan say that.

He personally inspected and purchased most of the items in the collection, including this jade vase.

To say that it's no longer of any use and is not even as good as a rice bowl is to humiliate oneself and also to say that Old Ye has no vision.

"If you don't give me a straight answer today, you're not leaving this room."

This is not a place for you to swindle and deceive.

Master Yin glared at Xu Yuan, his beard bristling, his hair practically standing on end in anger.

Xu Yuan said calmly, "Since you asked, I'll say one more thing."

He lightly tapped the jade bottle with his finger, and the crystalline green light was instantly drawn away, revealing the true nature of the jade bottle.

It wasn't a jade vase at all; it was just a simple porcelain vase.

"The reason why it is regarded as a magic weapon is entirely because I am deceived by the jade aura surrounding it."

In reality, this is just a small, artificially created magnetic field, designed to mislead people into believing it's a magical artifact.

"It can't be said that it's not a magic tool. Before it was used to the point of being obsolete, it could be considered a magic tool."

However, it has already been used and is full of cracks. If it is used again, it will break completely.

If you don't believe me, look inside the bottle; isn't it full of cracks now?

Xu Yuan spoke eloquently, but Master Yin remained skeptical, suspecting that he had used some means to make the jade bottle lose its jade quality.

Master Yin brought a flashlight and illuminated the inside of the porcelain bottle, revealing a dense array of cracks.

"How could this happen?"

He didn't want to admit it, but that's what he saw.

Master Yin suddenly looked up at Xu Yuan: "Did you do this?"

"Master Yin, Mr. Xu didn't need to do such a thing," Ding Chen interjected to explain.

He trusted the character of the person making the wish; it was impossible for him to deliberately damage a ritual implement just to prove what he said.

Master Yin frowned. If Xu Yuan had indeed used some kind of method, he should have been able to sense it.

He clearly didn't sense any energy fluctuations just now.

"Is it really a piece of junk?"

"Impossible, how could I be mistaken?"

"Sir, these days, counterfeiters are more skilled than the experts, so you can't be blamed for that."

Xu Yuan offered a soft word of comfort, then continued looking at the items in the collection.

He walked around for a while but didn't see anything useful to him.

Most of the ritual implements are similar to jade vases and have little value.

As for the calligraphy and paintings, he didn't like them after they were hung up.

Most of these items were taken from tombs, and they were considered to have too much yin energy, so he didn't want to come into contact with them.

He had read through all the ancient books and medicinal herbs, but they were not in the same league as the ones his master had shown him when he was on the mountain; they were too mediocre.

Xu Yuan turned around and prepared to leave when Master Yin, who had disappeared for a while, suddenly reappeared in front of them.

"You're saying all the magical artifacts here are junk?"

"How about you take a look at this?"

Master Yin pointed intently to a large rock in the center, inside which was a rusty ginseng.

"This is a treasure from the collection."

I personally dug it up from Buzhou Mountain.

"Rumor has it that it was left over from the ancient war between the gods. Can you honestly say it's also junk?"

"Leaving aside this stone, let's talk about this broken sword. Countless so-called experts have tried to pull it out, but none of them have succeeded."

Everyone agrees that it is definitely not of this world, what do you say?

"Master Yin, why are you making things difficult for Mr. Xu?"

Ding Chen couldn't stand it any longer and stepped forward to comfort him: "Mr. Xu is Elder Ye's guest, why are you getting so angry?"

"This thing has been back for decades, and no matter who tries to touch it, it remains untouched."

Mr. Xu just came to take a look, and you've taken it so seriously.

Xu Yuan's attention was focused on the stone they were talking about, and he slowly circled it once.

"You're right. According to ancient records, thousands of years ago, humans and immortals had a great battle at Buzhou Mountain."

It was precisely because of that great battle that the region where humans and immortals were originally connected was completely separated into two areas.

Thus, humans live on Earth, while immortals live alone in another cosmos, which is what we call the heavens.

"If what you say is true, and this is something left over from that great war, then it is indeed a good thing."

Xu Yuan stepped forward, brushing his fingers across the energy field, but felt no fluctuation of energy; it was just like an ordinary stone.

For a moment, he couldn't give an accurate judgment.

If it's something that's thousands of years old, even with his level of expertise, he's still a bit lacking.

If Master were here, he should be able to tell.

He pondered, his hand resting on the hilt of the broken sword.

"Don't waste your energy, no one can pull it out."

Master Yin was very pleased with the curiosity that Xu Yuan showed.

You still dare to say that all of this is scrap?
