Chapter 96

Four women gathered around Zhao Zhiqiang, each occupying a side, carefully observing him.

However, Zhao Zhiqiang's mind was completely unaffected by the overwhelming presence of these women. Even when Zhu Zhilin's dress revealed a bit of her cleavage, he paid no attention to it, focusing instead on the matter of Wen Yu.

Lin Xuerou, knowing Zhao Zhiqiang's character, did not think much of it, but He Zhuxuan's prejudiced view was once again proven wrong. She noticed that the young man seemed to be deeply engrossed in something, and it didn't seem like he was just putting on an act.

Indeed, Zhao Zhiqiang was thinking about something.

Coincidentally, he had recently been studying the stones in the spirit spring water that could produce spiritual energy, which sparked his interest in the study of physical objects. He knew that there were still some things on Earth that carried spiritual energy, such as jade, crystals, and some peculiar plants, all of which had the ability to absorb the essence of the sun and moon and refine the essence of heaven and earth.

As for why copper coins could transform donated money into the essence of heaven and earth by absorbing a bit of his blood, a phenomenon he originally thought was related to mental energy, Zhao Zhiqiang was still puzzled. However, this did not hinder his understanding of how to create a piece of "spiritual" Wen Yu.

It was quite simple. The technique of "Heaven and Earth Induction" could be used to create a space for storing spiritual energy within the jade with the help of the "Wealth Eye" technique!

This space required a design called the "Juyuan Array." Using the induction technique, the power of the essence of heaven and earth could be guided to gradually form a hexagram structure, after which spiritual energy could be injected.

When Zhao Zhiqiang used a silver needle to pierce the jade, the four women sitting around him were stunned...

Even though the jade was much harder than the silver needle, Mr. Zhao effortlessly pierced it, and he did so multiple times!

He Zhuxuan was speechless.

The scene before her eyes was beyond her imagination. This well-traveled beauty from the Western world was quite resistant to Eastern traditional culture, especially traditional Chinese medicine, Yi studies, and other such things. She didn't believe in qigong or metaphysics at all.

But today, she had a real eye-opener!

"That, that's a silver needle... so soft, how could it possibly pierce such hard jade?"

!!!

"That's right. It was given to him by my grandfather. Tsk tsk, Zhiqiang, I didn't expect you to know qigong! No wonder Grandpa said you had secret skills, it's like this!" She glanced at Sister Xuan with a charming smile, making everyone around her captivated.

But Zhao Zhiqiang's mind was entirely focused on shaping the jade!

Zhu Zhilin, however, was constantly guessing: Mr. Zhao must be skilled in metaphysics.

Metaphysics, Yi studies, qigong, and traditional Chinese medicine are all interconnected. Therefore, seeing this young teacher use a soft needle to pierce the jade and perform qigong, she was more impressed than initially shocked.

In terms of traditional Chinese culture, the skills she had in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and her basic knowledge of metaphysics and Yi studies, were like a small wizard compared to him!

The mysterious man before her was using an unfathomable method to create something that only existed in legends—spiritual jade.

She had read about the concept of jade being able to communicate with spirits in an anonymous ancient text and believed it to be true, so she had paid special attention to it. She also knew about the effects of "Wen Yu," but she didn't know that it could be artificially made. The ancient text was still with her teacher, and she regretted not having copied its contents.

Zhao Zhiqiang had no intention of showing off his skills. He laughed heartily!

"Ha ha, it's done!"

After injecting almost all of his spiritual energy into the milky white jade, the jade began to emit a faint glow from within!

Zhao Zhiqiang felt the warmth of the jade!

He had no intention of letting others see or touch it. He stood up with some effort and placed the jade pendant, attached to a platinum chain, around Zhu Zhilin's neck.

No one objected.

Zhu Zhilin's heart was pounding. Ah! This was the first time a boy had given her a gift—let alone one that he personally hung around her neck!

The person even adjusted the length of the platinum chain to fit snugly against the shallow valley of her chest.

Her face was flushed with embarrassment!

Zhao Zhiqiang, however, had no other thoughts. "Xiaolin, feel it. How is it?" he asked, full of hope.

The other three women also looked expectantly.

Although they had all seen him use a mysterious technique to pierce the soft silver needle into the jade, they were now most concerned about whether the effects of Wen Yu had been realized by his hands, as they all knew about Zhu Zhilin's condition.

"Ah, it's really warm," Zhu Zhilin exclaimed.

The three women immediately reached out to touch it without hesitation!

The jade felt as warm as a heated egg.

He Zhuxuan was completely stunned, as she knew the jade best. It had been cool before, without a doubt, and she had just watched him process it right in front of her!

A person with extraordinary abilities!

There really were people with special abilities in this world that she couldn't comprehend.

She could accept this explanation, as she had lived abroad for a long time and didn't believe in superstitions. However, after watching so many sci-fi movies and stories, she could勉强 accept the existence of special abilities in the world.

She touched it for a long time, seemingly reluctant to let go.

The way she looked at Zhao Zhiqiang was no longer like she was looking at a charlatan.

Zhao Zhiqiang, however, was concerned about the practical effects of the jade.

"Xiaolin, feel carefully. Is there a warm current flowing through your chest, passing through your heart and spreading throughout your body?"

Zhu Zhilin felt carefully for a moment. "Yes, Mr. Zhao, really! It feels just like when you used qigong to warm your hands! My body isn't cold anymore!"

Zhao Zhiqiang immediately understood the principle!

He nodded repeatedly to himself. Indeed, it was correct.

He had figured out one of the effects of the spiritual Wen Yu: it could not only transmit spiritual energy but also enhance it.

And the choice of jade was also good—

"Ha ha, thank you, Miss He, for your jade!" Zhao Zhiqiang was extremely grateful to Miss He. Without this jade, his sudden idea would not have led to the creation of an effective Wen Yu under such fortuitous circumstances!

This was a pleasant surprise!

It was really possible to use spiritual energy to create such a Wen Yu...

If so, the things recorded in the study of physical objects might actually exist?

Many methods for creating things that had never been heard of before could be tried, right?

"Oh, so it's Xiaoxuan's jade!" Wen Qing was surprised.

"Yes, this jade, Zhao Zhiqiang spent three million to bid for it!" Lin Xuerou added at the right moment.

Hmph, just a moment ago, she was talking about superstitions, scams, and big deceptions! Now, why isn't she saying anything?

At this moment, Zhu Qiming had already been in the room for a while. He also touched the jade on his daughter's head, and the temperature was definitely not that of jade!

Hearing what Lin Xuerou said, he immediately felt embarrassed and quickly said, "Ha ha! So Mr. Zhao is also a great philanthropist. This money can't be on you!"
