Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman (1-200)

chapter 84: city hospital

Gu Xiqiao held the piece of ancient jade in her hands, the natural energy around her so thick that it already materialized into mist as she looked at the piece of jade that had become even more stunning after the array had been embedded into it.

[Beauty Qiao, the most precious part of this piece of jade isn’t its chi-converging properties, but that it can protect the user from all harm, essentially another life! Jiang Shuxuan better be worth 1500 points!] The system spirit spoke with a somewhat jealous tone. Those points could have been used to upgrade it!

“You’ve only just been upgraded, so wait for a while okay? I promise I’ll upgrade you again soon!” Gu Xiqiao smiled as she knew what the system spirit was thinking of, the natural chi around her illuminating her with an ethereal glow.

[You’re really the prettiest person in the world Beauty Qiao!]

This piece of jade was already perfect in the first place, so Gu Xiqiao didn’t make any modifications to it. She kept it in her inventory, before taking out the two other pieces of jade that she bought earlier.

A normal-tiered array would already be more than enough for Tang Yanling and Yin Jinian, so Gu Xiqiao used 100 points each to embed said arrays into their pieces of jade. This time around, nothing special happened except for the air rippling slightly.

These pieces of jade were still unsculpted after all, so Gu Xiqiao made the system polish and refine them because she was already too tired to do it.

The system used up 1 point each to sculpt them into a pair of earrings and a thumb ring.

The system was good at its job, of course, and the pair of earrings looked like two teardrops that had intricate designs on them when looked at closely, and it had an ethereal glow to it. This wasn’t an effect caused by the jade and the natural energy in it, but the masterful craftsmanship of the system in sculpting it so that it could refract light in a myriad of ways when light was shone on them.

These two earrings seemed like a work of art from the heavens itself that couldn’t be designed by the most experienced designers in the world, and even Gu Xiqiao was amazed by their beauty.

After getting done with everything, her mental power reserves had already reached rock bottom, and her mind felt if it was going to explode. Under such pain, however, she still looked as calm and collected as ever.

Gu Xiqiao had already gone to bed when Jiang Shuxuan got home, and he hastily finished the meal that Mrs. Zhang had prepared for him before going into his study.

The window to the study was open, and the curtains flapped in the breeze. Jiang Shuxuan switched on the lights before he took out a random old book from the shelves and sat onto his chair comfortably. This was his habit, no matter how busy he was.

The pages of the book he was reading were already yellowed with age, and the words on the paper was ancient small seal script. He was extremely focused as he read it, and he seemed even more handsome as his face was illuminated by the dim lights.

He had barely flipped two pages before his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a glint of astonishment flashed through his cold orbs.

Jiang Shuxuan set down the book and walked over to the sandalwood table, and placed on it was a piece of perfect white jade with an old-looking design and enough spiritual energy that it seemed to be pouring out into the room, and this was the first time that an expression of shock made its way onto the man’s face in a long while.

He hadn’t detected this piece of jade in the slightest when he entered the room… Did this piece of jade already birth its own intelligence?

Even though he had read that spirits could be birthed from jade, this was the first time that he saw such a piece of jade in person.
