Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

Mu An didn't say anything about the peasant woman's behavior, but glanced at her damp clothes and poured her a cup of hot water.

"It's cold, have a cup of hot water to warm yourself up."

A simple cup of hot water gave the panicked farmer woman a chance to calm down. She seemed not to feel the heat of the water and drank several mouthfuls in a row.

As the hot water entered her throat, the farmer's wife relaxed, no longer feeling as tense and uneasy as she had at the beginning.

Just when Mu An thought the deal was unlikely to go through, the peasant woman suddenly stood up and performed a standard Southern Frontier nobleman's greeting to Mu An.

The gesture of bowing was not standard, and could even be described as rather stiff, but such a movement should not have appeared on an ordinary peasant woman.

The aristocratic etiquette of southern Xinjiang was clearly unrelated to the status of a peasant woman.

A misplaced identity and misplaced behavior often mean trouble.

Fortunately, Mu An didn't care. Compared to these trivial matters, he only cared about whether he could make the pawnshop's first sale.

……

Under Mu An's watchful gaze, the peasant woman took out a jade pendant from her pocket and presented it to Mu An with both hands.

"Shopkeeper, I'd like to pawn this jade pendant. How much silver would it be worth?"

When Mu An received the jade pendant, he was momentarily dazed, then focused his attention on the jade pendant in his hand.

The jade pendant is entirely blue-green, with a crystal-clear texture and a faint blue glow on its surface.

In the very center is a star surrounded by cloud patterns, while the back is engraved with the vast starry sky.

Familiar yet unfamiliar.

Looking at the two characters "Kaiyang" on the surface of the jade pendant, Mu An suddenly recalled something that happened more than two hundred years ago.

Long, long ago, through a series of coincidences, this jade token was handed to him by Princess Yongning.

At that time, Mu'an was still weak and relied on the resources given by Princess Yongning to get through the initial accumulation period.

Later, various unexpected things happened, and Mu An, who had already reached the pinnacle of the world, returned the jade tablet to the Dark Feather Guard whom he had met by chance.

I never thought I would see it again, but today it appeared before me in this way.

It's truly quite sad.

"Shopkeeper? What do you think the value of this jade pendant is? And can you pawn it... To be honest, this jade pendant is a family heirloom, passed down through generations. Unless there's a real crisis, there's no reason for me to pawn it..."

The peasant woman's voice pulled Mu An back from his memories. He looked up at the peasant woman in front of the counter, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he stroked the jade pendant and spoke.

"The Azure Jade Token of the Dark Feather Guard... Long ago, with this token, one could mobilize Dark Feather Guards of Silver Rank and below..."

"When the Great Qi Dynasty still existed, the value of this jade pendant was self-evident, but now that the Great Qi Dynasty has been destroyed, the Dark Feather Guards are nothing more than remnants of the previous dynasty..."

When Mu An uttered the words "Dark Feather Guard," the peasant woman's pupils suddenly contracted, and she instantly assumed an attack stance.

But after a moment of shock, she gave up the idea of ​​resisting, only slightly moving her feet, ready to escape at any moment.

After glancing subtly at Mu An behind the counter, the peasant woman lowered her head and said.

"Shopkeeper, please don't tease me. This is just an ordinary jade pendant. How could it be related to the remnants of the previous dynasty? If you feel you can't accept it, just return the pendant to me. Why resort to such threats..."

Mu An paid no attention to the peasant woman's actions, nor did he care why the jade pendant ended up in her hands.

He didn't care how the jade pendant ended up in the hands of the peasant woman, nor did he care about her complicated background. He just glanced at her and then placed the jade pendant on the table.

"Yes, it's acceptable. As the token of the Seven Stars of Jade, this jade pendant is undoubtedly the finest gem. If you want money, I can buy it for 100,000 taels."

The peasant woman's face lit up with joy, and she instinctively wanted to agree.

But for some reason, just as she was about to speak, she lowered her head again.

After a long while, the hoarse voice finally rang out in the store.

"Sir, since you recognize this jade pendant and are willing to buy the token, you must be an important person."

"In that case, I will not hide it from you. Just as you said, this jade pendant is the Azure Jade Token of the Dark Feather Guard, and also the remnant of the previous dynasty that you mentioned..."

"I just don't know if you are knowledgeable in medicine, or if you know any highly skilled doctors? If you can find such a doctor for me, I will not take this jade pendant for free."

At this point, Mu An naturally understood that the peasant woman was probably in a lot of trouble, and there might be a critically ill patient in her family.

It can be used as a jade pendant, but if you want him to meddle in other people's business, that's absolutely impossible.

He's just a pawnbroker, responsible for setting prices and paying money, not for causing trouble for himself.

If you use your supernatural powers recklessly, the little guy will complain again.

Ultimately, for Yu Mu'an, this jade pendant from the Kaiyang Envoy wasn't something he absolutely needed.

"Neither do I understand medicine nor..."

The sound stopped abruptly.

Amidst the disappointed gaze of the peasant woman, Mu An suddenly stood up and pushed open the door.

Looking up, the sky and firmament seem to change.

Countless points of light rose from between heaven and earth, colorful rays of light covered the sky, and a purple aura filled the sky in celebration.

High in the sky, a phantom image of a Dharma slowly rose.
