The red box slowly opened!
Suddenly, an ancient book with thread-like bindings erged. This book appeared extrely worn, not only was the cover severely damaged, but the text had also blurred, barely legible. Upon closer inspection, corners of the ancient to even showed so signs of mold.
However, it is worth ntioning that the threads on the book’s binding were, astonishingly, made of valuable gold thread.
For a mont, Li Qianfan was greatly surprised. He had never expected that the item Hong Jiui valued so much would be such a tattered old book, which left him quite puzzled. What connection did this book have with Hong Jiui changing her profession?
Soon after, Li Qianfan’s gaze fell on the ancient book, attempting to discern the na of the book from the few large characters on its cover. However, the cover was so damaged and, coupled with the traditional characters, after a long while, he still could not figure out the na.
"Sis, it feels like a book, am I right??"
Li Qianfan aid the cara at the box and spoke to Hong Jiui.
"Yes, yes, yes, that’s the book! Finally, it’s in my hands. With this book, I can definitely find many antiques, and then beco the most impressive antique dealer in Taoyuan County," exclaid Hong Jiui on the other end of the phone, dancing with excitent.
Antiques??
The look of surprise on Li Qianfan’s face deepened, and he said, "Sis, are you planning to switch careers to antique dealing?"
"Exactly, after long consideration, I’ve realized that running a massage parlor just isn’t suitable for . A few days ago, a classmate told she made a fortune in antiques. So, here I am at her place to learn about them. This book, it’s a lifeti masterpiece of her master’s master’s master, and I’ve spent a million to rent it.
You must take good care of it and not lose it; this item is priceless," Hong Jiui earnestly instructed over the phone.
"Rented for a million, what do you an by that?"
Li Qianfan looked at the ancient book in his hands, his face revealing a touch of curiosity.
Hong Jiui explained, "This book isn’t for sale. If you want to read it, you have to pay to rent it. I’ve rented it for one million for a week."
Good heavens!
One million to rent for a week, that’s really throwing money around.
However, seeing how much Hong Jiui valued the ancient book, Li Qianfan did not say much and simply nodded, saying, "Sis, rest assured, I will take good care of it. When you co back, I will ensure it’s returned to you in perfect condition."
After hanging up the phone, Li Qianfan placed the ancient book back into the box and hailed a taxi on the roadside to head to Lin Yiren’s villa.
On the way, Li Qianfan stared at the red box, lost in thought. Although he was not interested in antiques, he was very curious about the contents recorded within the book and what exactly made it so valuable.
After so thought, Li Qianfan imdiately opened the box and took out the book. In his view, spending a million to rent it for a week was surely an act of a fool. Having one more person look at it would an a little less loss, at least.
Though the book’s content was entirely in traditional characters, with the text clear enough, Li Qianfan, as a college student, could easily make out most of it. As he beca completely engrossed in the content of the ancient book, he was astounded.
Such detailed information on antiques!
Unlike those useless theories in the antique identification books available in the market, the content recorded in this ancient book was all about practical knowledge, with various identification techniques detailed extensively.
What shocked Li Qianfan the most was that this ancient book even contained information about the ’Three Great Treasures’ of China, one of which was the Heavenly Spirit Vase that Li Qianfan was currently collecting. This made him shudder, a look of shock flashing across his eyes.
No wonder this ancient book was so valuable. It truly is a treasure.
It even contained information about the Heavenly Spirit Vase.
Moreover, through the ancient book, Li Qianfan learned an even more important fact that the Heavenly Spirit Vase was a treasure created by a disciple of Daode Tianzun. Knowing this, his whole body shuddered, and the shock in his eyes grew even more intense.
If he rembered correctly, Daode Tianzun was Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad, wasn’t he?
Gulp!
Li Qianfan gulped down his saliva heavily, his breathing beca more rapid than ever. He had never imagined that the treasure he accidentally obtained from Ah Hua could actually be a magical instrunt created by the disciple of Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad; if he could complete the Heavenly Spirit Vase, it would certainly be a powerful addition to his arsenal.
If it had been before, Qianfan would have believed that the record in the ancient book was false. To the average person, Lord Lao Zi only existed in mythological stories; but having beco a cultivator, Li Qianfan knew all of this was true.
The author of this ancient book was definitely no ordinary person!!
The next mont, Qianfan imdiately imrsed himself in the ancient book, etching all the knowledge it contained into his mind. When he closed the ancient book, excitent was evident on his face; this knowledge was an invaluable treasure for him.
"Here we are, twenty-five yuan!"
Just then, the taxi driver’s voice pulled Li Qianfan back to reality from his thoughts.
"Okay!" Li Qianfan imdiately took out his wallet to pay, then carried the Yang Strengthening Pill in one hand and the ancient book box in the other as he got out of the taxi.
"How strange, a blind man reading a book!"
After receiving the money, the driver watched Li Qianfan’s retreating figure and muttered under his breath.
...
Standing in front of Lin Yiren’s villa, the first ti he t Lin Yiren flashed through Li Qianfan’s mind. Rembering how her sexy lips had serviced him made his heartbeat quicken considerably.
Although it had been a long ti, Qianfan still vividly rembered that delightful sensation. Just mouth alone was so comfortable; getting his hands on Lin Yiren, that stunning beauty, would be such a blissful thing, wouldn’t it?
"Ding-dong, ding-dong..."
As Qianfan fantasized, he rang the doorbell.
The butler appeared soon after. Recognizing Li Qianfan, she curiously asked, "Are you Mr. Li?"
"Yes, I’m here to deliver goods to President Lin," declared Li Qianfan, stating his purpose for the visit.
"Please co in, please co in!"
The butler imdiately opened the door and gestured for Qianfan to enter, saying, "President Lin has instructed several tis before, if she’s not at ho and Mr. Li cos to deliver goods, I should call her right away."
"Uh, President Lin isn’t ho?"
Li Qianfan asked, puzzled.
The butler nodded, "Right, President Lin just went to the company for a eting. Please relax in the living room; I’ll call her. It shouldn’t take long for President Lin to return."
"Okay, I’ll wait for her."
Li Qianfan nodded lightly and entered the villa with a bag full of Yang Strengthening Pills. The mont he stepped into the villa, he saw two n sitting on the couch, and he imdiately froze, his face revealing an unmistakable look of surprise.
One of them was Zhang Yong, whom he had seen before.
And the other man was none other than Zhang Ju, whom he had had a conflict with at the restaurant before.
Fuck, what’s this guy doing here??
At that mont, Zhang Ju was chatting with Zhang Yong. When he saw Li Qianfan suddenly appear, Zhang Ju was first taken aback, then stood up from the couch and pointed at Li Qianfan, cursing loudly, "Fuck, what the hell are you doing in my house??"
