Zhou Yu understood that Lin Weidong was not a stingy person.
Giving just a piece of jade and a wooden token was not Lin Weidong's style!
These two items were bound to hold immense secrets.
Upon hearing Zhou Yu's question, Lin Weidong grinned proudly.
He first pointed to the piece of white jade and said, "Don't let this jade fool you with its plain appearance; it actually holds a universe of secrets!"
"It is said to be left behind by a great powerful being, and it contains an entire set of sword techniques!"
Sword techniques?
Zhou Yu was instantly shocked.
It was well known that fewer and fewer people were practicing martial arts these days.
The true qi was scarce.
The inheritances from ancient times were gradually disappearing.
Besides the cultivation methods being meticulously guarded by various families and factions, these techniques were also buried deep.
Gradually, fist techniques gained prominence.
However, sword techniques became increasingly rare!
If this jade pendant truly contained a set of sword techniques, it could not be described as merely priceless.
Such treasures were rarely revealed unless for a life-saving favor!
Yet, Lin Weidong had so casually given the jade pendant to Zhou Yu!
"You can try infusing true qi into it later."
"As for this wooden token, it has another special use, which I cannot reveal to you for now."
Lin Weidong said with a smile.
The wooden token was a symbol of authority for an organization that commanded a region.
He had obtained it by chance while the Dragon Group was on a mission.
However, for Lin Weidong, who held a high position within the Dragon Group, this token served no practical purpose. It was better to give it to Zhou Yu...
"The items previously given by the special forces were common goods, of little use to martial artists."
"That's why I'm giving you these two hidden treasures. Dr. Zhou, please use them wisely!"
Whether it was the jade pendant holding sword techniques or the token that could command a mysterious force,
In anyone else's hands, they could wield immense power!
If Lin Weidong hadn't known Zhou Yu to be a person free of worldly desires, he might not have dared to give them away.
Otherwise, what if Zhou Yu developed other intentions!
"Elder Lin, these two items... I cannot accept them."
Zhou Yu rubbed the two items in his hand for a moment, then handed them back to Lin Weidong.
His gaze was exceptionally firm.
As a martial artist, he was acutely aware of the value of these items.
It could be said that by giving him these things, Lin Weidong was entrusting him with his very life!
However.
Lin Weidong could give, but Zhou Yu could not receive.
Even when he had helped the Dragon Group before, it was merely a small favor.
It was not worth so much.
"Dr. Zhou doesn't find them appealing?" Lin Weidong grumbled, stroking his beard.
Zhou Yu forced a bitter smile, "Elder Lin, are you not belittling me with those words?"
"Who wouldn't be tempted by such items?"
Even with Zhou Yu's extensive experience accompanying his elder, he would still be moved by these two items!
But precisely because of that, he could not accept them!
"Since you find them appealing, then accept them when I tell you to, don't fuss about it."
"After all, I am already this old. Whether it's one or the other, if I don't give them away, they'll just end up gathering dust with me in the grave."
Lin Weidong spoke the truth.
He had not yet broken through to the Hua Jin realm, let alone advanced from the Houtian realm to the Xiantian realm.
His lifespan was only slightly longer than that of an ordinary person.
He would eventually face aging, sickness, and death.
These items held no use for him whatsoever!
Zhou Yu was at a loss for words.
After a moment of hesitation,
Lin Weidong continued, "Alright, you'll need to help me with many things in the future, so don't refuse."
"Otherwise, I'll get angry!"
With no other choice, Zhou Yu accepted the two items.
His attitude towards Lin Weidong became even more cordial.
"Thank you, Elder Lin."
Lin Weidong waved his hand, "I've given you the items, let's go out quickly, or those brats might tear down your house!"
Lin Weidong's worry was not unfounded.
As the two of them walked out of the warehouse,
They saw Da Xiong in the living room, using an antique colored glass vase from Zhou Yu's wine cabinet to tap his cigarette ash!
Just as the glowing red cigarette butt was about to touch the glass vase,
Before Zhou Yu could even react, Lin Weidong jumped up.
"Stop!"
Da Xiong looked up in confusion, his movements instantly halted.
Lin Weidong rushed to Da Xiong's side in three steps.
He then abruptly snatched the glass vase away.
And then said with concern, "You brat, do you know what this is before you carelessly tap your ash on it!"
Da Xiong shook his head, utterly bewildered.
It was just a poorly crafted glass bottle, wasn't it?
Why was Lin Weidong reacting so strongly?
Thinking this, Da Xiong turned to Zhou Yu with a wronged look.
As if seeking Zhou Yu's help to right the wrong.
Unfortunately, this time Zhou Yu was on Lin Weidong's side.
Because this colored glass vase was a gift from Yun Yanlan.
Although Zhou Yu didn't know its exact value, it certainly wasn't something to be used for tapping cigarette ash.
"You're good, kid, causing damage on your first day at my place."
Zhou Yu said with a dark expression.
Da Xiong now knew he had made a mistake, though he wasn't sure what exactly.
He still apologized, "Dr. Zhou, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
The main reason was that Zhou Yu rarely smoked.
So, there was no ashtray at home.
Da Xiong searched around and found this colored glass vase to be the oldest and most worn-looking.
He assumed it might have been used for flowers previously.
So he took it to tap his ash.
Who knew it would turn out like this!
Zhou Yu looked at Da Xiong with a speechless expression, "Fortunately, you didn't do it on purpose, otherwise I would have already dealt with you!"
If it were someone he didn't have a good relationship with, and they had done this.
They probably wouldn't even see the gates of Yun Lan Tian Gong!
Da Xiong scratched his head, still feeling quite wronged.
Lin Weidong seemed to have figured out Da Xiong's thoughts and immediately explained.
"This colored glass vase is an antique, over a hundred years old!"
"It is said to be the first colored glass bottle ever made in the world at that time, with great collection value."
Da Xiong was never academically inclined.
After hearing Lin Weidong's words, he remained very confused.
He simply asked, "Elder Lin, how much is this colored glass vase worth?"
Lin Weidong immediately held up three fingers.
"Thirty million?" Da Xiong exclaimed.
Just a mere glass vase, only a bit old, costs thirty million?
Why don't they just rob people!
Who knew that when Lin Weidong heard his answer, he didn't nod, but instead frowned.
"If it were only thirty million, do you think I'd be this anxious?"
Instantly, Da Xiong became even more scared.
He timidly said, "Isn't this just a glass bottle..."
"That's right, a three hundred million dollar glass bottle!"
"If you had tapped your ash just now, you would have been working for Dr. Zhou for the rest of your life."
Lin Weidong said with no pleasant tone.
The value of an antique does not lie in its specific appearance.
But rather in its symbolic meaning and historical depth.
Coincidentally, this colored glass vase possessed all three.
