Chapter 173: Massive potential points, Mo Zu Sweeping Heaven Record Perfect

~9 min read 1,720 words

In the quiet room, Ye Yuxuan and Steward Xu were playing Go, but their eyes drifted to Qin Jiang in another part of the room from time to time.

The other party had many antiques in front of him, at least a hundred pieces, each of which was worth at least a hundred taels of silver, and many were worth a thousand taels.

It could be said that this batch alone was worth ten thousand taels, enough to be worth the entire tax revenue of a small town for a year.

And there were at least thirty or fifty batches of this quality.

"Snap."

Steward Xu dropped a white piece. Ye Yuxuan came back to her senses, looking at the chessboard that had already been slaughtered into a mess, and her mouth couldn't help but twitch.

"Mr. Xu's chess skills are far beyond Yuxuan, Yuxuan admits defeat."

"Miss Ye is polite, I also learned this from the young lady; if it comes to chess skills, the young lady is far beyond me," Steward Xu laughed.

"Oh? Is the young lady the steward speaks of the wife of Sect Master Qin? Speaking of which, I don't know how Sect Master Qin met his wife," Ye Yuxuan became interested.

She was also very curious about what kind of person could make Qin Jiang fall in love.

"Hehe, that was in a small city in Ning'an County, in the fields, the young lady was very straightforward back then..."

Steward Xu said leisurely, telling the story of Qin Jiang and Xu Yanran. In fact, looking at it now, there wasn't much that was thrilling or winding, just walking to today naturally.

Near evening, Qin Jiang stretched. The Xuanzhu walked over with an account book. "Sect Master Qin, the small antiques have been checked, the rest are some medium and large objects, I have arranged for people to place them in the courtyard."

Qin Jiang nodded and stood up. "Trouble the Xuanzhu."

"Sect Master is polite, this is my honor," the Xuanzhu laughed.

Qin Jiang looked at Steward Xu, who was calm and relaxed, the white pieces on the chessboard having already surrounded and killed the black pieces until they were crumbling.

Ye Yuxuan's lips were tight, holding a black piece in her hand, wanting to put it down but picking it up again, wishing she could break the black piece in her hand into two.

"Steward Xu, I'm going to the courtyard to walk around, you accompany Miss Ye well," Qin Jiang laughed.

This time the Ye family helped a lot; since he couldn't thank them materially, he naturally had to care for them emotionally.

Steward Xu nodded slightly. "Master, don't worry."

"Hey! Wait! I suddenly feel a bit dizzy, it should be a lack of light! You know, plants wither without light, and people are the same! I'd better accompany you to the courtyard!"

Ye Yuxuan threw down the black piece in her hand directly, leaping up like a wild rabbit that had broken its leash.

Walking quickly to the quiet room door, she made a gesture of invitation. "Sect Master Qin, please!"

The three came outside, and what met their eyes were large piles of antiques placed neatly but without losing their aesthetic beauty.

Even the courtyard, which was not big at first, had its wall knocked down directly, expanding it by more than five times.

"Sect Master Qin, please, do you need me to arrange for someone to explain it to you? There are many moving stories behind these objects, and few people know them," the Xuanzhu asked with a smile.

"Let's not for now, I'll take a look myself, you do as you please," Qin Jiang laughed.

Step, step.

Heavy footsteps came from the quiet room. Ye Yuxuan turned her head in confusion, and her expression changed drastically, her features squeezed together as if she were wearing a mask of pain.

She saw Steward Xu carrying the table they had just played chess on, his steps very steady, and there was no tremor on the table.

For a peak Twelfth-Rank Secret Martial artist, this was the simplest thing.

"Miss Ye, the light is very good, seeing that you like playing chess, I moved the table out. Don't worry, the pieces on the chessboard haven't moved at all, and I am definitely not a person who cheats."

Steward Xu chose a place with sufficient light to put the table down and said with a smile.

"Oh? Miss Ye loves chess so much? If there is a chance, I must compare with my wife, haha." Qin Jiang also laughed.

Ye Yuxuan looked at the Xuanzhu for help, but found that this guy was seriously counting the number of antiques.

"Heh, heh, heh, that is, that is naturally, I heard early on that Miss Xu's chess skills are superb, with the talent of a national player. If there is a chance, we should naturally meet with chess."

Her heart couldn't help but feel bitter. I can't even beat this Steward Xu, let alone that Miss Xu; wouldn't that be asking for trouble? Sitting at the table, looking at the chessboard where not a single piece had moved, she wished she could slap herself; why didn't she know to mess up the pieces?

"Miss Ye, it's your turn to drop a piece." Near evening, Qin Jiang took his hand off the mysterious tripod in front of him.

Looking at this mysterious tripod, the style was 70% similar to the Hanhai Mysterious Tripod, but the volume was smaller, and it didn't have the might of a Source Artifact.

"Xuanzhu, where did this mysterious tripod come from?" he looked at the Xuanzhu on the side.

The Xuanzhu looked back at the mysterious tripod and pondered for a moment. "More than forty years ago, the Canglang River flooded, and this mysterious tripod was salvaged from the Canglang River during that flood. As for its origin, I don't know; this mysterious tripod has at least eight thousand years of history, and it was still the Ancient Yu Kingdom ruling the world back then."

Qin Jiang nodded and didn't say anything, turning to look at Ye Yuxuan. "Miss Ye, shall we go back?"

Ye Yuxuan was like a withered wild grass, and after hearing Qin Jiang's words, she instantly perked up. "Good, good, good! I'll arrange it! Should these antiques be sent directly to the Yuan Prefecture City, or kept in the Imperial City first?"

Qin Jiang was stunned. "What do you mean by this? When did I say I wanted to take them away?"

Ye Yuxuan was also stunned. "Not taking them? You seemed to like each one very much, you've touched and looked at them all."

Steward Xu on the side explained, "Miss Ye misunderstood, the Master loves antiques, but he mostly just appreciates them, and rarely keeps them." 【

Steward Xu, who was to the side, saw this and hurriedly explained, "Miss Ye has misunderstood. Although the Master loves antiques, he mostly just enjoys looking at them; he rarely keeps them."

Ye Yuxuan suddenly realized. No wonder he threw them aside like trash after looking at them. She had thought Qin Jiang meant that since they had to be taken away anyway, it would be the same to look at them slowly after returning.

The Xuanzhu to the side was a bit dazed. He glanced at the laborers outside the courtyard who were rolling up their sleeves and packing the antiques with great enthusiasm, and couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

Just packing these antiques alone had cost him over a thousand taels! All that gleaming silver, just thrown away like that?

No, that was just for the packing; they would have to be unpacked later too! Returning to the Ye Mansion, Ye Yuanling had already returned. Seeing Qin Jiang back, he walked up quickly to greet him, "Haha! How was your outing today, young friend?"

Qin Jiang smiled and nodded, "Very good."

Ye Yuanling looked at Ye Yuxuan with some surprise; he hadn't expected his granddaughter to be of such great use this time.

Hiss~ But why does Yuxuan seem a bit listless? Could she be sick?

"There is one more thing. I must ask Elder Ye to prepare a quiet room. I have gained some small insights today under Miss Ye's company and need to go into seclusion for a few hours," Qin Jiang said.

"Is that so! Good, good, good! Yuxuan! Go prepare it quickly!" Ye Yuanling's face was full of joy.

After saying this, he looked at Qin Jiang, "Young friend, there is no need to rush, rest assured in your seclusion. At the True God realm, every bit of insight is extremely precious! If there isn't enough time, I will go speak to His Majesty tomorrow; we cannot delay your cultivation!"

Qin Jiang could now be considered a vital asset of the Great Xia, and everything else had to give way!

"Then I will trouble Elder Ye," Qin Jiang said.

A moment later, Ye Yuxuan returned; the quiet room was already prepared.

Arriving inside the quiet room, Ye Yuxuan lit a stick of top-grade concentration incense in the incense burner, then took her leave.

Qin Jiang sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, his gaze falling on the panel.

Over ten thousand potential points—this completely exceeded his expectations. He had originally thought five or six thousand would be quite good, but he hadn't expected it to give him such a surprise.

It was just a pity it wasn't quite twenty thousand; otherwise, he could have tried to deduce an Immortal Martial Art.

Without thinking further, he poured the potential points into the Mo Zu Sweeping Heaven Record.
