Chapter 34 (1/2)

Yan Tian was unreserved as he sat down in the chair and laughed.

”Bring over the blood jade so I can take a look at it.” Yan Tian didn’t mince words and directly got to the heart of the matter.

”Hmm, alright. This blood jade is something another owed me in debt. Since they didn’t have cash, they traded it to me. They knew I was looking for blood jade today, so they turned over this blood jade to repay the debt.” Ah Long said and handed over a box.

The box was black and the exterior seemed to have a detailed design. Yan Tian carefully opened the box and within a blood-red jade was appeared. Yet contrary to his expectation, it wasn’t completely red. It was composed of three different colors. Although the size wasn’t big, the color seemed pretty good.

”Someone owed a debt to you? Did you make things problematic for their family members and blackmailed them again?” Yan Tian took the box and placed it in his hand to examine it.

Once Ah Long heard Yan Tian, he immediately shook his head: ”No, absolutely not, Brother Tian.”

”Let me tell you. Later on, you can't do anything that would violate my conscience. If I come to know of it, don't blame me for falling out.” After Yan Tian heard him, he warned Ah Long.

The people that Yan Tian reviled the most were the ones that kidnapped women and children, so Yan Tian warned his underlings not to do such things. If they didn’t obey Yan Tian's word, Yan Tian would entirely not accept them as his little bros.

”I know, Brother Tian. After I've come to your command, if you tell me to head east, I dare not head west.” Ah Long heard Yan Tian and pat his chest. It was clear in the future he would obey Yan Tian.

”Hmm, you guys can go. Give me a basin of water.” Yan Tian waved his hand, displaying he wanted them to leave.

Right now, Yan Tian was already impatiently desiring to activate the ring. He was quite curious what was inside. Was that which was written about this ring truly so mystical?

”Ah? Brother Tian, what are you going to do with water?” The moment Ah Long heard Yan Tian wanted a basin of water his face grew puzzled. Could it be that Yan Tian wanted to wash his feet?

”What I order you to do, you do. I need it. Hurry up a bit.”

”O-o-oh. Go fetch a basin of water for Brother Tian.” After Ah Long heard Yan Tian, he immediately instructed a younger bro.

A short moment later, the little bro came in carrying a basin of water. The group of people curiously looked at Yan Tian. What was Yan Tian going to do with the water and blood jade?

”Hmm, right now all of you leave and shut the door.” Yan Tian waved for them to leave.

Ah Long didn’t ask much. He had just said to Yan Tian if he ordered him to go east, he wouldn't go west. Therefore, he tactfully took his subordinates and withdrew.

As soon as Ah Long and the others left, Yan Tian inspected the entire room. Ensuring there was no one monitoring him, he took off the ring on his hand in relief.

”Cosmos Ring, oh, Cosmos Ring. I hope you don't let me down.”

Looking at it, Yan Tian took out the blood jade from the case. The color of the blood jade wasn’t completely red, but red, white, and black; three different alternating colors. It was like a sky filled with red clouds, numerous floating white clouds, and the texture was sleek. It was extremely magnificent.

Yan Tian looked at the blood jade and was full of praise for it. After fiddling around with it in his hand several times, Yan Tian carefully placed the blood jade into the water. Afterwards, he slowly took the Cosmos Ring and submerged it in the water.

But against his expectations, there was no sound of movement within the water. Yan Tian contemplated that perhaps there wasn’t enough time? He was forced to squat down at the side and wait.

After ten minutes, the water had the same appearance as before. Between the blood jade and the ring, there was simply not the slightest change in variation.

”Frick, you kidding me?” Seeing there was no reaction, Yan Tian stood up and cursed.

Mulling it over, Yan Tian took the ring and placed atop the blood jade. Like so, he waited several more minutes and found that things were the same. There was no change whatsoever.

Could it be the method was wrong? But the book had stated that one should but the blood jade and the ring into the water at the same time. There wasn’t anything wrong. Thinking it over, Yan Tian took the blood jade and broke it.

But to his disappointment, there were no changes. The sole change was that the broken blood jade in the water made is appear rather gorgeous. Each piece produced a restrained light.

”Don't tell me the method is wrong? Or is it that this blood jade is fake?” Yan Tian looked at the blood jade in the basin and muttered to himself.

Pondering if the blood jade was a fake, Yan Tian thought it was a possibility. After he finished speaking, Yan Tian prepared to go to the jewelry store to get it appraised. If this blood jade was a fake, it would be fine. It was alright if had to restart his search, however, if the blood jade was the real deal, then he reckoned the method was incorrect.
