Top-class Bodyguard

Chapter 591 - 571: Acquiring the Upper Volume

No one had reacted in time, but luckily, the direction where the silver needle shot had no one.

Crash!

The silver needle shot into a small porcelain bottle placed there, and the bottle shattered instantly.

Everyone in the room was stunned.

"Everyone, step back!"

Mr. Xu shouted.

The people were frightened, quickly retreating, and Mr. Yang broke out in a cold sweat. How could this artifact be equipped with a mechanism?

Ren Feng was startled, frowning, as this thing seemed somewhat reminiscent of the Mechanical Technique.

He had seen in the books left by the old man that the so-called Mechanical Technique used various mechanical principles to create mechanisms, with the Mo School's Mechanical Technique being the most renowned, reaching an almost mystical level where a small sphere could contain many mechanisms.

Mr. Yang wiped his cold sweat, wondering how anything could be appraised if it was so volatile to even touch?

"There should be something inside, but I don't know how to open it," Mr. Yang said.

Everyone was at a loss; if it couldn't be appraised, how could it be sold?

"Let me try."

At this moment, Ren Feng spoke.

Mr. Yang looked at Ren Feng, surprised: "You can open it?"

"I think I can."

"Not by breaking it, but by opening it intact."

Mr. Yang said.

"Let's give it a try and see."

Ren Feng had already approached, inspecting the copper jar. At this moment, his True Qi had already started circulating, concentrating around his eyes.

Instantly, the phenomenon in his eyes changed, as if Ren Feng could see through the copper jar.

X-ray Vision!

Since Ren Feng overcame the Nine Yang Tribulation, he had been gaining new abilities, and X-ray Vision was one of the abilities he had acquired long ago, once helping Bai Xiaoyue shoot a bank robbery criminal by using this ability.

Under Ren Feng's gaze, he saw that a simple small box was placed right in the middle of the copper jar, and besides the small box, the inside of the copper jar was covered with countless threads and bearings, all combining to form a mechanism!

Ren Feng did not touch the copper jar, but instead used his eyes to search for a switch to unlock it. If it was a mechanical technique, there would surely be a switch.

Mr. Yang and the others watched Ren Feng with tension, and after some searching, Ren Feng discovered a different area on the inner wall.

He felt around the outside of the copper jar and found the differing location.

After some feeling around, Ren Feng lightly pressed down, and immediately that intricate design was pressed down, causing the entire copper jar to emit a clicking sound, with the originally taut threads beginning to loosen and retract.

"It opened!"

Mr. Yang said in surprise.

The copper jar began to compress from the top down, the topmost dragon also rotating slightly before slowly opening.

Jiang Moshu's beautiful eyes were filled with wonder, the entirety of the copper jar now fully revealed. Looking from above, there was a quaint box at the bottom.

"Agarwood!"

Mr. Yang couldn't help crying out in excitement.

"What, agarwood?"

Others in the room couldn't contain themselves, gathering around.

"Unexpectedly, the box inside is so valuable, and the artistry on it is exquisite beyond measure."

Mr. Yang exclaimed, reaching out to take the box.

"Wait, the mechanism isn't fully disarmed yet."

This reminder caused Mr. Yang's hand to recoil in fright.

Ren Feng reached in, pressing a spot at the bottom of the copper jar, which made the remaining taut threads relax, releasing the threads that held the box in place.

At this moment, Ren Feng then took out the box.

Mr. Xu and the others were exceedingly excited; this box was so well-hidden and incorporated a mechanical technique, clearly containing valuable items inside.

"No issues with opening it?"

Mr. Xu looked at Ren Feng.

"None."

Mr. Xu carefully opened the box, his eyes lighting up instantly.

"Oh my God."

Inside the box were many delicate items, but they seemed like the small alchemy furnaces of the Daoist School, there were also Copper Coins, and a stack of intact outfit and hat.

"This discovery is truly invaluable."

Ren Feng's eyes pierced through the clothes and lit up.

"Mr. Yang, please." Mr. Xu said excitedly.

Mr. Yang took out the items one by one, placing them on the table, even taking out the clothing.

"Golden Threaded Jade Clothing!"

Many people exclaimed.

"Oh my, this, this!"

Many were too excited to speak coherently.

Mr. Yang was extremely thrilled, while Ren Feng was less concerned about these items. He took out the books underneath.

"Yuyao: Secret Chronicles"

"Yuyao: Medical Volume"

"Yuyao: Mechanical Volume"

Three consecutive books, all written by someone named Yuyao, with the Medical Volume showing an "Upper" character on its outer cover.

Upper Volume!

Ren Feng's eyes brightened, quickly flipping open the Medical Volume, but the text inside made him frown; some of the characters were not Chinese characters.

But at the beginning, it was clearly stated that Yuyao himself was a traveling Daoist skilled in medicine, and was then captured by the royal family to research a certain disease.

And this disease was the Nine Suns constitution.

Yuyao researched for six months, but unexpectedly the Prince was finally consumed by a virtual fire and died. Yuyao, fearing being buried alive by the Emperor, gathered some things and fled, writing down everything.

The subsequent content was all information related to the Nine Suns constitution.

Ren Feng's heart was full of joy, truly having found it.

Mr. Xu also spoke: "Other than this piece of Golden Threaded Jade Clothing, if you want any other items, you can make an offer."

Mr. Yang already had his phone out and began taking photos.

"I want this book," Ren Feng said.

Mr. Yang looked up somewhat surprised.

Mr. Xu smiled and said, "That's agreeable; if it weren't for you, young brother, we wouldn't have been able to unlock the mechanism."

Ren Feng nodded: "I just need the content, and I'll handle the translation with Mr. Yang. Once translated, the book can be returned to you."

The others had no objections, and eventually, the Medical Volume ended up in Ren Feng's hands.

Ren Feng internally sighed in relief, uninterested in how the Golden Threaded Jade Clothing would be handled.

Mr. Xu and the others also decided to invest collectively to purchase the Golden Threaded Jade Clothing, intending to keep it as a collection piece.

Everyone busied themselves for a while, finally coming to an agreement on distribution.

Subsequently, Ren Feng, Jiang Moshu, and Mr. Yang left together.

"Old man, I'll trouble you with this item," Ren Feng said solemnly, "I hope it can be translated soon, as it is of great use to me."
