The Psychic Treasure Mirror could appraise treasures and track their source.

There was nothing in this world that could not be identified, and everything could be traced to its source.

Chen Shaojun’s vision blurred as he ‘saw’ the white clouds on the Psychic Treasure Mirror dissipate. The palace retreated and an ancient piece of green jade appeared.

This ancient piece of green jade was completely green. A carp whose head and tail were connected to each other was carved into the jade. This piece of jade seemed to be the one that he had just used the Divine Vision technique on to appraise.

Furthermore, when Chen Shaojun looked at the patterns on this ancient piece of jade, images of the jade instantly appeared in his mind.

It had turned from stone into jade and was sculpted by a craftsman named Liu Zonghe. Then, a young hunter gave the jade to his wife.

The young couple was very loving. One day, when the young man was hunting, he met with an accident and never returned.

The wife was filled with grief. Every day, she could only hold this green jade and wait for her husband to return.

After many years, she finally fell sick from longing and passed away.

Due to the fact that his wife had always held onto the jade tightly during her illness, his family had buried the jade in the coffin together with his wife.

The green jade had accompanied the corpse for thirty years. Thus, it was nourished with a sinister aura. Furthermore, the wife’s wandering soul seemed to have accompanied the green jade frequently. Thus, the green jade gradually underwent a special change.

Half a month ago, a grave robber dug into the soil and opened the coffin. After a series of fights, he took away the green jade. Then, after going around in circles, the green jade appeared in the Lin Pawnshop…

The images disappeared. Then, the ins and outs of this green jade, its life experiences, and all the people it knew appeared in Chen Shaojun’s mind.

At the same time, the grade of the green jade was displayed on the Psychic Treasure Mirror: Low-Grade Mortal.

The grades shown on the Psychic Treasure Mirror were divided into the Mortal, Magic, Treasure, Spirit, and Immortal grades in ascending order. Furthermore, every single grade was further divided into High, Medium, and Low grades.

A Low-Grade Mortal item was clearly not very good based on this rating system.

Then, Chen Shaojun snapped out of his trance and a medicinal pill appeared in his hand.

It was the Essence Augmenting Pill.

It was as translucent as white wax and was the size of his thumb. Upon smelling it, he could smell a faint fragrance. The fragrance entered his nose and actually made the extremely exhausted Chen Shaojun feel slightly refreshed as if he had somewhat recovered.

This was a Spirit Pill that only cultivators who cultivated the Dao or practiced martial arts would consume to enhance their cultivation and strength.

However, this did not mean that ordinary people could not use it.

One Essence Augmenting Pill could nourish one’s vital energy and strengthen one’s qi and blood. It could also allow an ordinary person to cleanse their marrow and strengthen their spirit.

[The Psychic Treasure Mirror has appraised a treasure. You have received a reward…]

Chen Shaojun was overjoyed. How could he not know that he was lucky enough to have his own cheat?

He wasn’t sure how the Psychic Treasure Mirror fused into his body. Really? Could he really obtain rewards by continuously appraising treasures?

However, at the very least, he understood one thing.

It was that with this Psychic Treasure Mirror in his possession, it should be sufficient to allow him to occupy a greater advantage than others in this treacherous world. It might even allow him to stand at ease and instantly rise to power.

“But.”

“It seems that there are really ghosts in this world…”

He thought of the wandering soul that he had seen with the green jade in the Psychic Treasure Mirror.

Previously, he had only heard of it, but just now, he saw it with his own eyes.

It made him even warier of this world.

Then, Chen Shaojun looked at the crystal clear Essence Augmenting Pill in his hand and a strong desire arose in his heart.

He swallowed it without hesitation.

The pill melted as soon as it entered his mouth. In an instant, cool and special energy surged into his body like a turbulent current. It attached itself to his muscles, bones, and blood as it slowly seeped in.

“Hiss…”

Chen Shaojun sucked in a breath of cold air. He felt a kind of heat and a special kind of cooling sensation in his body at the same time.

The alternation between hot and cold actually made him feel as if his flesh was being tempered and his bones were being cleansed.

Layers of fine filth were also expelled from his body as his body was being tempered and cleansed.
