A Blessing in Disguise

"T-t-this..."

After his initial shock, Cai Cheng was left utterly dumbfounded, looking as if he had just seen a ghost.

"What are you yapping about? Making a fuss over nothing," Wang Er and the others said, their faces full of disdain.

"Me, making a fuss?"

Cai Cheng was bewildered. He pointed at the floating jade stones ahead. "Did you guys not see that?"

"We saw it. And?" Xia Fei retorted.

Cai Cheng fell silent. Was he dreaming?

How could they not be the least bit surprised by something so bizarre and abnormal? They even seemed to take it for granted!

Right.

These guys must have seen it before.

No wonder they were so incredibly respectful to Qin Ning.

No wonder just honking his horn twice and scaring Qin Fei had alarmed that formidable existence in the capital.

Now, Cai Cheng felt that everything made sense.

This was no longer something a normal human could accomplish.

An existence like Qin Ning completely defied common sense and human understanding.

Cai Cheng never imagined that such bizarre things could actually happen in this world.

No wonder even a top-tier young master like Wang Er followed Qin Ning and Qin Fei around like a lapdog.

If it were him, he would be sucking up to them like crazy too!

"These seven jade stones can barely be considered high-grade," Qin Ning said calmly.

Selecting only seven pieces out of over a hundred thousand jade stones sounded pitifully few, but to Qin Ning, it had already exceeded his expectations.

After all, finding jade stones that met his requirements in a place like Earth was not an easy task to begin with.

"Young Master Qin, can all seven of these jade stones be crafted into amulets?" Wang Er licked his lips, his face full of anticipation.

Qin Ning nodded. "Pretty much."

Saying that, he took a pendant-like jade stone, tapped it lightly a few times with his finger, and handed it to Wang Er. "This amulet is for you, as a token of my gratitude for taking these jade stones."

"Thank you, Young Master Qin! Thank you, Young Master Qin!"

Wang Er was ecstatic. He had witnessed the extraordinary power of this kind of amulet with his own eyes; even bullets couldn't harm him.

With this thing on him from now on, wouldn't he never have to fear danger again?

"Young Master Qin, my family also runs a jade business, and our shop happens to be right on this street. How about..."

Cai Cheng, standing to the side, couldn't help but speak up.

Although he didn't know the exact effects of this so-called amulet, based on the trick Qin Ning had just shown, Cai Cheng was certain that this was an authentic protective talisman, not the kind you pray for at a temple that only offers psychological comfort.

"Then let's go take a look," Qin Ning nodded.

"Great, great! Young Master Qin, please follow me."

Cai Cheng was overjoyed and quickly led Qin Ning's group to the warehouse of his family's jade shop.

This place wasn't far from Wang Er's family shop, only about a hundred meters away.

Qin Ning didn't hesitate. He directly released his divine sense, scanned the area, and eventually picked out three jade stones and an uncut raw stone.

"These three jade stones can be used to make amulets. As for this raw stone, it might have another use," Qin Ning stated.

The quality of this raw stone was much better than all the jade stones he had selected today. Moreover, it had never been cut open and contained a special kind of power. With a few minor techniques, barring any accidents, he should be able to turn it into a spiritual stone.

Once he had this spiritual stone, it might allow Qin Fei to cultivate spiritual power within her body much faster.

Although with the amulet he gave her, Qin Fei's safety wouldn't be an issue, as an ordinary person, her lifespan was still limited.

If possible, Qin Ning naturally wanted Qin Fei to cultivate and thereby gain a longer lifespan.

"This jade thumb ring is for you. Take it." Qin Ning took out a jade thumb ring, tapped it lightly a few times with his finger, and then handed it to Cai Cheng.

"Thank you, thank you, Young Master Qin!"

Cai Cheng was ecstatic, knowing that this jade thumb ring was definitely not simple. Otherwise, how could Wang Er have been so excited when he got his pendant earlier?

In the afternoon.

The group left the jade street and drove to a restaurant that Cai Cheng had arranged.

Because there was an extra person and the commercial van couldn't fit everyone, Cai Cheng drove his own car and pulled Wang Er into the passenger seat.

"Young Master Wang, what exactly is the use of that jade thumb ring Young Master Qin gave me?"

On the way to the restaurant, Cai Cheng couldn't help but ask.

"It's an amulet. What do you think it's used for?" Wang Er replied.

"Could you be a bit more specific?" Cai Cheng naturally knew it was an amulet, but he was incredibly curious about how it protected him and in what way.

Wang Er smiled. "Two hundred million, and I'll tell you."

"What? Two hundred million?"

Hearing this, Cai Cheng was dumbfounded. "Aren't you just taking advantage of the situation to rob me? And isn't that asking for a bit too much?"

"Let me put it this way. For this amulet, let alone two hundred million, even if you offered two billion or twenty billion, you wouldn't be able to buy it. Charging you two hundred million to tell you its specific functions is not excessive at all. Didn't you see Young Master Qin's methods just now?"

Cai Cheng remained silent. He nodded seriously before saying, "Alright, it will be in your account before tonight. Can you tell me now?"

Wang Er smiled and said, "This is a genuine amulet. I've seen it with my own eyes. As long as you carry it on you, not even a gun can harm a single hair on your head. Moreover, according to what I learned from Xia Fei and the others earlier, aside from heavy weaponry, there is almost nothing in this world that can pose a threat to you."

"Are you serious? You're not joking?" Cai Cheng was stunned.

If he hadn't just witnessed Qin Ning's abilities, he would definitely think that Wang Er had been conned by some charlatan.

But even so, it still sounded far too exaggerated.

With the amulet on him, he wouldn't even need to fear guns?

Aside from heavy weaponry, nothing could threaten him?

How could that be possible?

"You don't believe me?"

Wang Er chuckled. He dug out a mirror from the glove compartment and held it in front of Cai Cheng. "Look at your face. You were beaten black and blue by us at the hotel entrance earlier. Hasn't it completely healed now?"

Hearing this, Cai Cheng shockingly realized the issue.

Originally, his face was covered in bruises and ached terribly. But ever since he received the jade thumb ring from Qin Ning just now, that soreness had quickly disappeared. Looking at his reflection in the mirror now, the injuries on his face had miraculously vanished.

"This amulet actually has healing effects too!" he couldn't help but exclaim.

"The terrifying extent of Young Master Qin's power is beyond what you and I can fathom. You can consider this a blessing in disguise. Now that you've connected with Young Master Qin, there will be plenty of benefits in the future. Do you still think it's excessive that I charged you two hundred million just now?"

"Not excessive at all!"

Cai Cheng took a deep breath. "It is not excessive at all! Say no more, Young Master Wang. I never could have made this connection with Young Master Qin without your help. I will have someone transfer five hundred million to your account shortly!"
