The Rebirth of the Lazy Nobles Woman
Chapter 28: The Assessment of Treasures

A black car was stopped outside the mansion, and a somewhat fat man appeared from it. He was not tall and somewhat bloated, and he had an honest smile on his face. At first glance, he looked like a good person, but there was something strange about him.

Gu Xiqiao rubbed his chin while thinking.

Those who have studied martial arts all know the Yellow Emperor Classical Internal Medicine, and according to this medical book, ‘As long as the true chi flows, all evil will never break’.

It seems like a simple sentence, but it has incredible knowledge behind it. Essence nourishes chi, chi nourishes the soul, the soul nourishes the essence, and everything forms a cycle. Therefore, everyone who studied martial arts would also practice their virtues. If someone commits a bad deed, the evil chi will possess them and cause their chi to be tainted, rendering them twisted.

This was also the decisive difference between ordinary cultivators and demons as well.

“He was my distant uncle who moved to our city after my parents died .. Somehow, he made me feel like he was planning something bad.” Xiao Yun pursed his lips as he glared at the man below, before closing his eyes helplessly. “But my brother and grandfather both trusted him, and he increasingly held power in our company.”.

Gu Xiqiao patted her shoulder comfortably. “It's okay, let's go down and see?”

The moment he was patted by Gu Xiqiao, Xiao Yun felt a stream of cold energy enter through his palm and flow throughout his body, immediately refreshing him.

Downstairs, Xiao Yun's uncle Xiao Ming’an was talking to Grandpa Xiao, while the butler held a precious-looking vase in his hand.

[Dig! Daily Mission activated: Help Xiao Yun assess the Yuan Dynasty vase.]

[Mission completion reward: 10 points]

A system notification rang out in Gu Xiqiao's head, making his gaze to the vase while following behind Xiao Yun.

“Yun becomes prettier.” Xiao Ming’an looked at Xiao Yun and chuckled.

Xiao Yun returned his gaze coldly and wanted to say something, before Gu Xiqiao glanced at him, calming him down and stopping him from speaking.

Xiao Sheng was worried that Xiao Yun would not be able to contain his anger, but seeing that, he heaved a sigh of relief. “Kakek Butler, put this vase in Grandpa's bedroom and prepare lunch.”

The butler nodded, and was about to go upstairs when Gu Xiqiao suddenly said, “This is a pretty vase.”

“Young lady, your eyes are good! This is a Yuan Dynasty blue-and-white porcelain vase that has just been dug up, and I bought it for quite a high price. I even asked a monk to bless her, and worship her for forty-nine days, hoping it would bring health and prosperity. ” Xiao Ming’an reply.

“It just dug? And it has been worshipped for forty-nine days? ” Gu Xiqiao's eyes sparkle and take over the vase from the butler. “... Did you see it dug out yourself?”

Xiao Ming’an's smile did not waver in the slightest. “Of course.”

“Is so.” Gu Xiqiao stroked the vase gently and narrowed slightly. “Vas this blue-white porcelain is quite sturdy, and there are four tiers at the base, and it is connected at the base, hip, and neck of the vase. There are red spots on the rough bottom, the neck of the vase is curved smoothly, and the shape is round, without a knife mark.. It looks like the original, right? ”

Xiao Ming’an smiled as he listened to his analysis, but the last sentence made his expression freeze in place. “Young lady, are you implying something?”

He looked towards Gu Xiqiao with a heavy gaze, and as he spoke, a mental strength that was three times stronger than the average person pulsed towards him, wanted to make him panic and instill some advice in his subconscious.

As expected, this man was a cultivator, but he dared to touch him with such weak mental strength?

“I haven't even said anything, Uncle Xiao.” He immediately ignored the pulse of mental strength and continued to smile. “There are three ways in which blue-white porcelain is colored — bright, graceful, and grayish blue. The gray color pigment was mainly used during the Yuan Dynasty, which contained cobalt oxide and iron oxide, which reacted under high temperatures to colored crystals under the final layer. This vase, however, has only iron oxide powder under the glaze, and you can see it quite clearly if you look at it under a microscope. “

Gu Xiqiao put the vase back into the hands of the butler, and his expression became solemn. “As for forty-nine days of worship.. You assume doing so in ancient graves brings prosperity and health?”

Xiao Yun immediately stood by Gu Xiqiao's side. “Uncle, what exactly do you think, giving Grandpa this vase that has been placed in the grave?”

“Grandfather, if you don't believe me from the beginning you can say so! Why are you making this outsider slander me ?! ” Xiao Ming’an walked over to the butler quickly and stole the vase back into his hands, before glaring at Gu Xiqiao darkly. “If this is how I am treated, then why should I stay here?”

The man marched out of the house, followed by the sound of the engine being turned on.

The people in the house were mired in an awkward silence. Gu Xiqiao looked at Xiao Yun, then at the emotionless Xiao Sheng, then at Grandpa Xiao who had lowered his head, not knowing what to do. In the end, he was still not very experienced in dealing with this kind of thing.

Suddenly, Grandpa Xiao grabbed his chest as he coughed, his expression pale as he gasped for breath.

“Grandpa!”

“Mastered!”

The butler and his two grandchildren immediately walked up to him, greatly shocked.

Gu Xiqiao rubbed his head slightly. “Retreat!”

Grandpa Xiao could not even breathe properly, did they want him to die by stealing all the oxygen around him?

Gu Xiqiao took out a set of silver needles, and quickly pierced into several acupuncture points, stopping the illness that had suddenly appeared. Grandpa Xiao's skin returned to normal, but he still took a deep breath.

After ten minutes, Gu Xiqiao retracted the silver needles one by one.

Grandpa Xiao looked at Gu Xiqiao with gratitude. “I had trouble believing that you were the one who saved me back then, but now I have a chance to see you in action.”

He had just experienced an outbreak of his illness, so his tone was breathing and he did not seem energetic.

“Grandfather Xiao, take good care of yourself. I'm not saying that intentionally, it's just that objects taken from the grave have a strong evil chi and can cause you to become weaker physically and mentally if you are nearby for too long. If I could guess, that guy would bring you antiques every few months, huh? ” Gu Xiqiao pursed her lips as she kept her silver needles.

Xiao Yun spoke up at this moment. “Grandfather Butler, burn everything the man has given Grandpa!”

The butler looked at Grandpa Xiao, then Xiao Sheng, unsure of what to do now.

“Burn it.” Grandpa Xiao waved his hands tiredly. “Burn everything, why let these dangerous things lie around?”

After being given permission, the butler immediately went upstairs to take care of the antiques.

“Grandfather Xiao, I will write a list of medicines that can help you. After years of evil chi seeping into your body, it will be very difficult to treat, but as long as you follow my treatment plan, it will be very difficult to treat, You can return to seventy to eighty percent of your initial health. That said, some of these medicinal herbs were hard to find. ”Gu Xiqiao discussed with the system and exchanged treatment plans from him with Grandpa Xiao.

“Thank you,” said Xiao Yun suddenly.

Gu Xiqiao received a piece of paper from Xiao Sheng to write down the medicinal herbs Grandpa Xiao needed. “Do not mention it.”

Xiao Yun looked at Gu Xiqiao's agile fingers, not saying a word.

The words on the paper were too beautiful. Grandpa Xiao and Xiao Sheng only wanted to see which potion they needed, but their attention was entirely on his words. Gu Xiqiao was already skilled enough to create his own writing style.
