Chapter 93: Eight Trigrams Jade
Zhang Tiannan, accompanied by Qin Feng and two others, arrived in front of the Treasure Pavilion and left on his own.
The guardian who guarded the pavilion confirmed the White Jade Order and led Qin Feng into the Treasure Pavilion. Si Zheng and Cang Feilan, without tokens, were naturally stopped outside.
The Treasure Pavilion had three floors. Upon entering, Qin Feng was dazzled by the various shapes and sizes of treasures.
In addition to the eighteen types of weapons, there were also various strange and unidentifiable treasures based solely on their appearance.
Qin Feng looked puzzled and asked the guide, “Are there instruction manuals for these treasures?”
“Instruction manuals?”
“Oh, I mean the corresponding functional introductions for the treasures.”
The man replied coldly, “Choosing treasures in the Treasure Pavilion depends on personal taste and abilities. As for the functions of the treasures, it’s up to the young master to judge.”
Qin Feng raised an eyebrow, then took out a heavy money pouch from his storage ring and handed it over, saying, “As a newcomer, I have limited knowledge. I hope the sir can enlighten me.”
The man cleared his throat, took the money pouch, and opened it slightly to see several dozen taels of silver at least. His attitude immediately changed.
“The Treasure Pavilion has a wide variety of treasures. It’s understandable that the young master doesn’t know how to choose. But rest assured, I will introduce them to you one by one.”
“I still prefer your previous unruly appearance. Can you restore it a bit?” Qin Feng thought to himself and followed the man to browse the Treasure Pavilion.
The man explained a lot to Qin Feng, but they didn’t linger on the first two floors for too long. According to him, the real treasures were on the third floor.
Generally, demon-slaying individuals who wanted to exchange for treasures in the Treasure Pavilion relied on the merits in the demon-slaying order. Most people who risked their lives for merits could at most reach the second floor to select treasures.
Those who could access the third floor were truly rare.
However, Qin Feng was given the highest-level White Jade Order by Zhou Kai, so he could directly choose treasures from the third floor.
The man led Qin Feng to the third floor. The number of visible treasures suddenly decreased, but each one, at a glance, was obviously extraordinary.
“Sir, I haven’t been here many times myself, and I don’t know much about the functions of the treasures here. You can take a look for yourself.”
Qin Feng nodded and casually browsed, asking, “By the way, are there high-level treasures here?”
The man was startled and replied, “Young master, you are overthinking. High-level treasures have spiritual intelligence, and ordinary people cannot control them, so there are very few of them. Even if the Demon Slaying Department happens to obtain high-level treasures, the news will be heard by the Red Lotus authorities, and they will rush over to seize them immediately. How could there be any left?”
This was not much different from what Si Zheng had said. Qin Feng sighed and stopped having any illusions.
“Do you know which treasures on the third floor are activated by Literature Qi?”
After pondering for a moment, the man directly took Qin Feng to a shelf and said, “The treasures here meet the young master’s requirements.”
Qin Feng took a glance and twitched his face, “Why is this shelf covered in dust?”
The man explained, “The people of the Demon Slaying Department mostly practice martial arts and the way of ghosts and demons. Even those who practice obscure methods mainly rely on Yin energy and the blood and Qi in their bodies as the foundation for cultivation.”
“These treasures are all activated by Literature Qi, and no one has used them. Over time, they naturally gather dust here.”
“It does make sense.” Qin Feng glanced up and down, suddenly drawn to a crystal-clear round jade pendant. He carefully picked it up. “Why is this jade pendant so clean?”
The man took a glance, squinted his eyes, carefully recalled, then suddenly enlightened, “Just before the chaos caused in Qiyuan City, the Treasure Pavilion replenished a batch of treasures, and this jade pendant was one of them.”
Qin Feng nodded at the words, then began to examine the jade pendant in his hand. The texture was smooth, emitting a slight coolness.
In the middle of the jade pendant was a depiction of a Yin Yang fish, surrounded by an engraved Eight Trigrams.
The appearance was exquisite, but he didn’t know what it was for. Qin Feng played with it for a while, intending to put it back. However, at that moment, a pile of golden words leaped from the jade pendant into the air.
“Eight Trigrams Jade?” Qin Feng exclaimed.
“What did you say, sir?” The man looked puzzled.
Qin Feng was surprised at the words. He had just read the first line of the golden text, and it was evident that the man couldn’t see these golden words at all!
What’s going on? Did I find a treasure? Is this a high-level artifact?
Qin Feng suppressed the excitement in his heart and continued to read. Several key phrases instantly caught his eye, making his heart pound with excitement.
“Change position, Create a circle, Yin and Yang, Heaven and Earth, Eight Trigrams shift.”
According to the introduction in the golden text, as long as Literature Qi is infused into the Eight Trigrams Jade, it can, within a certain range, swap the position of the jade pendant holder with another object.
And the more Literature Qi is infused, you can even use yourself as the center of the array to redefine the direction of the Eight Trigrams!
This jade pendant is definitely a treasure!
Although he didn’t know the use of redefining the Eight Trigrams Direction, just the ability to swap positions was impressive. Qin Feng took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
Such a powerful treasure, absolutely cannot let anyone see through, you should know that a guilty conscience betrays itself. With this in mind, Qin Feng pretended to be casual, wanting to put the jade pendant back, and then find another reason to choose another one.
At this moment, the jade pendant in his hand unexpectedly trembled slightly, as if reluctant to return to the shelf!
Seeing this, Qin Feng hurriedly grasped it with his hand, and the jade pendant stopped trembling.
“Young master, what’s wrong with you?” the man asked.
“Nothing, I just wanted to try infusing some Literature Qi into this jade pendant to see if there would be any reaction. But it seems I was thinking too much,” Qin Feng shook his head and browsed other treasures on the shelf.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he sighed, “All useless things.”
The man who received the money kindly reminded, “Young master, why not choose something else? There are some treasures whose functions I know. Even if you can’t use them yourself, you can exchange them with others in the future.”
“Forget it, I expected this result anyway. Luckily, I have a treasure fan at home, and it lacks a pendant. I think this jade pendant is not bad, so I’ll choose it,” Qin Feng pretended to look helpless.
“Young master, are you sure you don’t want to think about it again?”
“No need.” Qin Feng shook his head, sighed, and walked downstairs, but he was secretly delighted. He couldn’t wait to find a secluded place to try the effect of the swapping position technique!
