After Zhang Tian was reborn, he didn't unlock any systems.
His only ability was to identify treasures.
When he saw a treasure, its name, description, and usage would appear in his mind.
It was precisely because of this ability that Zhang Tian, at the young age of twenty-one, directly became the successor to the Zhang family's antique shop.
His parents had retired early.
He was even known throughout Panjiayuan as "Divine Eye," "Appraisal Genius," and other such titles.
Today, as usual, Zhang Tian was looking at the porcelain he had acquired. After obtaining its function, name, and other details.
Zhang Tian was somewhat disappointed.
Although this piece of porcelain was valuable, Zhang Tian was quite disappointed.
Zhang Tian had always wanted to find an antique of medium or high grade.
However, he had never found one.
Seeing a slight change in Zhang Tian's expression, the old man's heart sank.
Zhang Tian's Zhang family was a well-known family in the entire Panjiayuan.
Although not as prominent as some other families, Zhang Tian's family had some standing.
And the Zhang's Antique Shop had been in Panjiayuan for a long time. As the young master, Zhang Tian was known to everyone.
Especially after Zhang Tian learned the Zhang family's true treasure appraisal technique, he was admired by countless people.
In this era, tomb raiding, while not exactly admired, was a profession.
Otherwise, there wouldn't have been tomb-raiding sects in the past.
Where there is demand, there is a market.
"Mr. Zhang, Young Master Zhang, are there any problems with my vase?"
The old man's eyes held a hint of anticipation, and his voice trembled slightly.
Clearly, he was afraid that his item was fake and wouldn't sell for a good price.
"There's a crack at the bottom, and the overall color is not pronounced. Thirty thousand, I'll take it."
Zhang Tian held up three fingers.
He looked at the old man.
Upon hearing this, the old man's body trembled slightly.
"It is said that Young Master Zhang never cheats people and offers fair prices. Now it seems it's true!"
"Thank you, Young Master. I'll sell it!"
The old man said, very excitedly.
Nowadays, speculators were everywhere. This vase, after being appraised by several other dealers, was only worth a few thousand yuan at most. Someone like Zhang Tian offering three million was almost unheard of.
Zhang Tian nodded.
"You can go to the back room to get your money now."
After speaking, the old man excitedly rushed out, showing how thrilled he was.
Zhang Tian placed the vase in the display cabinet. This thing was worth a million, and he had acquired it for thirty thousand, meaning he had taken a slight loss.
After all, not everyone buys antiques, and not everyone will buy them. Even if they are worth millions, the buyers are few.
"If only I could find some antiques with special functions."
Zhang Tian thought to himself, eagerly anticipating the appearance of treasures with unique effects.
Zhang Tian looked at the pine tree by the door.
"Low-grade spiritual artifact, capable of attracting wealth, drawing customers, and gathering fortune."
"Item Function: Gathering Fortune"
A voice sounded in his mind.
This pine tree was the only item with special effects that Zhang Tian had encountered so far.
It was precisely because of this that Zhang Tian firmly believed that such special treasures existed in this world.
He glanced into the vase.
He wouldn't have known if he hadn't looked, but upon seeing it, Zhang Tian's heart leaped with joy.
Hidden within the vase was a small jade pendant. Zhang Tian had been so focused on the vase that he hadn't noticed it at all.
Now it seemed he had been careless.
The jade pendant was white and very lustrous, as if transparent.
And the jade pendant gave him a peculiar feeling.
Just as Zhang Tian was about to examine the jade pendant, a voice came from the doorway.
"Ding ding."
The doorbell rang. A young man stood there.
Zhang Tian looked at the young man, finding him somewhat unfamiliar.
He had lived in this world for over twenty years, yet Zhang Tian had met very few people.
He hadn't even seen anyone from the legendary tomb-raiding sects.
After all, those people wouldn't come to a small place like his.
When Zhang Tian first arrived, his initial judgment was that this was likely a tomb-raiding world, otherwise, Panjiayuan wouldn't exist.
Looking at the young man, Zhang Tian's expression remained unchanged, showing no emotion.
On the other hand, the young man, after entering, kept glancing at the jade pendant in Zhang Tian's hand.
It was as if this jade pendant had some special effect.
"May I help you, sir?"
Zhang Tian's face remained impassive, but he quietly slipped the item into his pocket.
He hadn't yet discerned the jade pendant's purpose, but Zhang Tian knew in his heart that if a stranger was fixated on it, it must be significant.
"Are you... Young Master Zhang Tian of the Little Zhang family? The so-called Appraisal Genius?"
The young man spoke, his tone laced with a hint of surprise.
He was very different from Zhang Tian. Towards strangers, he appeared quite articulate, while Zhang Tian was rather reserved.
Calm.
Zhang Tian looked at the young man.
The young man wore a blue jacket and carried a camera.
He exuded an air of sophistication.
He was handsome, with fair skin, a face like polished jade, gentle and reserved, possessing the aura of a suave young gentleman.
Yet, there was a hint of mischievousness about him.
"And you are?"
Zhang Tian asked, his tone calm, looking at the unfamiliar young man before him.
"Me? Wu Xie!"
A faint smile played on Wu Xie's lips, his eyes fixed on Zhang Tian's pocket.
He had an innate interest in exploration and archaeology.
Especially when he saw the item Zhang Tian had just held, his curiosity was immediately piqued.
In the Wu family, there were also several old treasures that gave him a peculiar feeling; some felt light and spiritual, others seemed to condense qi.
And just now, the jade pendant in Zhang Tian's possession gave him the same feeling as his family's old treasures, stirring an inexplicable warmth within him.
Therefore, he intended to buy it.
Upon hearing the other party's words, Zhang Tian was stunned.
Wu Xie. It seemed he had indeed arrived in a tomb-raiding world.
This made Zhang Tian somewhat excited, but his expression remained impassive.
"Wu Xie? Are you Wu Xie of the Wu family from the Old Nine Gates?"
Zhang Tian asked, seeking clarification to understand the situation.
Wu Xie, at this age, still possessed a youthful and innocent nature.
He couldn't hide certain things and it showed on his face.
Wu Xie looked surprised.
"How do you know about the Old Nine Gates? The Old Nine Gates have been gone for decades."
Wu Xie eyed Zhang Tian with a hint of caution.
Many people had forgotten about the Old Nine Gates, so its sudden mention naturally made him somewhat agitated.
"My ancestors actually had some dealings with the Nine Gates. It's not strange that I know, is it?"
Zhang Tian finished speaking, and Wu Xie glanced around the antique shop, which indeed had an old feel to it.
He furrowed his brow slightly, his gaze returning to Zhang Tian, and he temporarily set aside the matter.
"Young Master Zhang, our Wu family has always had a good relationship with your Little Zhang family. I wish to purchase some antiques from you. What do you say?"
Wu Xie looked at Zhang Tian, trying to speak tactfully.
However, the expression on his face betrayed him; he desperately wanted the jade pendant.
Zhang Tian smiled.
"Since that's the case, Young Master Wu, please take your time browsing here. There are many items. I have other matters to attend to. Please feel free to look around."
Zhang Tian was unconcerned about Wu Xie's opinion. The Zhang family, his family, did not fear the Wu family. Although the Wu family remained powerful over time, the Zhang family's strength was also considerable, so there was no need to fear them.
Seeing this, Wu Xie felt a surge of annoyance.
He looked at Zhang Tian, wanting to say something, but Zhang Tian had already left, and he couldn't bring himself to speak.
"Hmph, I've noted down today's events."
Wu Xie let out a cold snort, then strode away.
He seemed to be in a hurry, leaving somewhat hastily.
A smile played on Zhang Tian's lips. He was now completely certain that this world was indeed a tomb-raiding world.
Only then did his attention turn to the jade pendant in his hand.
"Dao-Conferring Jade Pendant, mid-grade spiritual artifact, with effects of calming the mind and warding off evil spirits."
"Furthermore, it contains a cultivation technique!"
"Usage: Enter the jade pendant with your thoughts to receive the Dao!"
The voice in his mind made Zhang Tian's heart tremble.
He froze, then swallowed hard.
He had always suspected this world was unusual, and it turned out his suspicions were correct.
This world indeed had cultivation. In tomb raiding, cases of reanimated corpses and ghosts were plausible, and there were also techniques like "Dividing Meridians and Locating Acupuncture Points" and "Yin-Yang Arts." It was hard not to believe there were cultivation techniques.
He hadn't expected to actually discover one.
Zhang Tian tightly clutched the jade pendant, carefully placing it in his pocket. This three million was undoubtedly a treasure.
Zhang Tian decided not to try it out immediately. He planned to test it that night.
This discovery was of great significance, and Zhang Tian needed to re-evaluate this mysterious world.
As Zhang Tian turned to go back inside, it seemed another guest had arrived at the door, a rather plump figure.
