Full-time Anomaly Chapter 34

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.

Yan Tian took the ring and placed it on his hand once again. Taking the shattered blood jade, he carefully put it back in the box. After it was affixed, Yan Tian made great strides out.

"Ah Long, I'm going to leave for a bit." Just as he exited the door, Yan Tian continued to head downstairs and didn’t turn back, directly making a beeline to the first floor.

After about twenty minutes or so, Yan Tian drove the red Porsche to Fengping road. He found the Jade Pavilion, then clutching the box, entered.

"Boss, anyone here?" Just as Yan Tian entered he shouted.

"Hey, come in, come in." Immediately afterwards, the jewelry store owner Tong Yulin stepped out from the side.

"Boss, help me take a look at this jade real quick."

Yan Tian spared the nonsense and directly place the box on the table, opening it.

"Oh, what is this?" Tong Yulin curiously picked up the box.

"It's nothing but a piece of blood jade. Take a look if it’s the genuine article or a phony. I am but a layman. I don't understand these things." Yan Tian looked at the blood jade in the box and laughed.

After Tong Yulin looked at the blood jade in the box, his eyes widened. It seemed like he had seen something unimaginable. He promptly took out his drawer and took out a tiny flashlight.

s.h.i.+ning it the left and the right, after he finished illuminating it, Tong Yulin picked up a magnifying gla.s.s. In fron hand he took a magnifying gla.s.s to his eye and in the other he used tweezers to place the blood jade, looking at it attentively from two centimeters away with the magnifying gla.s.s.

A moment later, Tong Yulin finally put down the tools in his hand and said: "A good item, ah, a good item. How did you come by it?"

"What good item? This is genuine?" As soon as Yan Tian heard it was a good item, he asked slightly disappointed,

If the blood jade was fake, then Yan Tian could completely restart his search for a piece of blood jade. It wasn’t that big of a deal. At most, he would have to spend some cash. However, if the blood jade was real, then it confirmed that blood jade wasn’t capable of activating his ring. If blood jade wasn’t capable of activating his ring, how would he activate it?

Tong Yulin glanced at Yan Tian's expression and was somewhat unable to understand. How come it seemed like Yan Tian didn’t want it to be real? It had to be known it was no average blood jade. In fact, it was a fine-grade rooster blood jade.

"Oh my, you can't get this kind of blood jade. You'll be able to get a good price. But it’s pity that such a beautiful piece of blood jade was surprisingly broken."  Tong Yulin looked at the blood jade in regret.

"How much money is my blood jade worth?"

Once he heard that the value wasn’t small, Yan Tian was delighted. Looking at Tong Yulin's startled expression, the piece of blood jade should be worth a lot. How could he not see that Tong Yulin's eyes were radiating golden lights?

"Well, it's hard to say. This isn't an ordinary blood jade, but a rooster blood jade."

Tong Yulin carefully picked up the blood jade and placed it in the box, frightened that this most valuable treasure would shatter. If this jade broke, he wouldn’t be able to bear the cost. However, he and anyone else wouldn’t know, but half an hour ago, this invaluable blood jade was still in pristine condition. It was only because Yan Tian had slapped it so violently that the piece of jade broke.

"Rooster blood jade? The inside is seeped in rooster blood?" Yan Tian asked puzzledly. He remember that Tong Yulin had said before there were many blood jades with animal blood running through inside.

Once Tong Yulin heard Yan Tian, he promptly waved his hand. He looked to Yan Tian a little excitingly: "It's not that the blood has seeped through. I told you this isn't a common blood jade, but a fine-grade rooster blood jade."

Yan Tian heard him and was baffled. Rooster blood jade, rooster blood jade, it wasn’t rooster blood jade, then could it be sheep blood?

"Uhh, I don't understand too much. Can you tell me a bit more?"

Tong Yulin nodded his head and explained: "Rooster blood jade, it's not that the inside is simply seeped in blood, but there are two methods to form rooster blood jade. The first method for rooster blood jade is that a volcano from millions and millions of years ago erupted and the lava brought forth settled and formed it."

"This kind of rooster blood jade appears to be our country's traditional lucky festival rooster blood-red color. It's dazzling and after it undergoes publis.h.i.+ng, it's l.u.s.trous as imperial red clouds. It has a beauty that appears to seize the hearts and souls of men. Rather than comparing it to precious stones, this kind of blood jade holds a h.o.m.ogeneous color. It will never change, it is wear resistant, the l.u.s.t quality is strong, and the texture is exquisite and tenacious; a defining characteristic.

Tong Yulin stopped to take a sip of water and continued to speak: "And as for the second kind, there is a myth. According to legend, that year after Houyi shot the nine suns, the remaining sun hid away in fear. That year, the world was covered in darkness without people able to continue living. In order to restore light to the world, the Sun G.o.d Yandi used a golden pheasant to draw his golden chariot. Every day, he brought the sun from east to west, however, it wasn’t long before Yandi became weary as well. As a result, Yandi thought of a method."
