Chapter 619: Chapter 619: Traces of a Cultivator’s Presence

The clerk was somewhat surprised when Shi Yaoguang said she wanted to see his Young Master.

However, from her conversation with Lin Qianli and his siblings, he had gained a rough understanding of Shi Yaoguang.

He knew that she was likely skilled in medicine.

Therefore, he naturally hoped Shi Yaoguang would take a look.

Even if she couldn’t cure it, it didn’t matter, after all, the Young Master’s condition...

...was such that even the family’s sought-after doctors couldn’t determine what exactly was the matter.

But if by chance she managed to cure him, that would be a great deed indeed!

The clerk was even eager to bring Shi Yaoguang in front of the Young Master.

Shi Yaoguang had her guesses and naturally wanted to meet the person as soon as possible to confirm the situation.

The aligned thoughts of both parties allowed Shi Yaoguang to meet the Young Master of the stone shop quite quickly.

...

The Young Master of the stone shop lived near the shop, less than ten kilometers away.

Originally, he didn’t reside here.

It’s said that after he brought back the last batch of stones, he began to feel like he couldn’t be too far from the stone shop.

If he was too far away, he would feel discomfort all over his body.

As for the specific reason, he wasn’t clear.

With no choice, he had to find a place closer to the stone shop.

The clerk had informed the Young Master in advance about Shi Yaoguang’s medical expertise, and the latter was prepared to meet with Shi Yaoguang.

"Thank you for your trouble."

After meeting Shi Yaoguang, the Young Master said this.

In fact, before Shi Yaoguang’s arrival, many had already come to see him.

Because the results from those visits weren’t very good, he had no expectations that Shi Yaoguang could cure him.

Now, all he hoped was that Shi Yaoguang could alleviate some of his pain—that would be enough for him to be content.

As for curing him completely, he really had no such expectations.

About this.

Shi Yaoguang could understand.

After she had a look herself, she noticed an issue.

The Young Master’s discomfort was not due to illness.

Using professional terms, it seemed he had been cursed.

Upon hearing this, the Young Master was taken aback, "Cursed?"

This seemed far too mythical.

"How could I suddenly be cursed for no reason?"

This question, Shi Yaoguang couldn’t answer either.

She could only share her speculation, "Your body only started having issues after the last batch of stones arrived, so your curse is likely related to that last batch of stones."

"As for the specifics, I need to take a closer look."

The Young Master anxiously awaited the result of Shi Yaoguang’s examination.

After carefully checking the stone shop, Shi Yaoguang confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the stones there.

That is to say, the Young Master’s condition was not related to this batch of stones.

The stones were of good quality, and not to mention a ninety percent chance of yielding jade, they hadn’t affected the Young Master’s health.

As for the exact cause, Shi Yaoguang could not determine at the moment.

However, she inquired indirectly and learned that the Young Master was not aware of how much jade could be obtained from the last batch of stones he had brought back.

The stones he had brought back from outside were the same as those from other shops.

Whether one can carve out fine jade or how much of it, that all depends on luck and his own experience.

This time, almost all the good jade stones were cornered by the Qi Stone Shop, claiming there was no reason for it was impossible.

If it wasn’t the influence of the Young Master that affected the chances of selecting stones, then it’s very likely someone was doing something behind the scenes.

In order to figure out what exactly was going on, Shi Yaoguang decided to go and check out the stone mining site.

The Young Master was somewhat worried and didn’t want Shi Yaoguang to get involved in this shady business.

This was originally his own matter, and it would be unfortunate if Shi Yaoguang were to be implicated.

It was only after Shi Yaoguang insisted and assured there would be no danger that he agreed to take Shi Yaoguang to the mining site for a look.

There was nothing unusual about the stone mining site.

If anything felt out of place, it would probably be the traces of Spiritual Power fluctuations at the mining site.

And that alone was enough to raise questions.

It’s said that jade stones do contain Spiritual Energy, but without someone manipulating it, this bit of energy wouldn’t have any effect.

It’s like the old saying, "Jade nurtures man, and man nurtures jade."

Although jade stones contain Spiritual Energy, this energy won’t come out on its own.

The traces of Spiritual Power fluctuations around the mine could only mean one thing.

And that is...

Someone had been here before.

Moreover, the person who had been near this site must possess Spiritual Power.

It must have been a cultivator.

Speaking of which, Shi Yaoguang had yet to meet any cultivator other than herself and those she had brought into the practice.

The traces that appeared now didn’t distinguish whether they were from a friend or a foe.

...

Shi Yaoguang did not share her findings of the abnormalities with the Young Master of the stone shop.

Originally, when she saw the denser Spiritual Energy at the Qi Stone Shop compared to other shops, she thought the owner of the Qi Stone Shop was a cultivator.

If the owner were a cultivator, it was feasible to set up a small Spirit Gathering Array to enrich the shop with more Spiritual Energy than other stores.

But now having seen the place, the Young Master was not a cultivator.

Though she had not met the owner, she could deduce that the owner was not a cultivator either.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have let the Young Master suffer this way.

After inspecting the mine traces, Shi Yaoguang had a way to help the Young Master with his issues.

She had never researched possession before, but since she was in contact with An Xiaoya, she naturally knew how to resolve this situation.

The Young Master had not expected that the "incurable disease" that troubled him could be resolved by Shi Yaoguang, and he was so moved that he didn’t know how to express his gratitude.

After learning that Shi Yaoguang and Quan Jinbei came to Myanmar because of the stone issue, he proposed to sell his store’s stones to Quan Jinbei.

Quan Jinbei came here because there was a problem with his supply chain.

Or rather, there were problems with all of his channels.

Usually, the procurement personnel had a clear idea of how many stones they bought could yield jade, and this proportion was familiar to them.

But there was a problem with the stones this time; nothing could be carved out of them, which disrupted Quan Jinbei’s supply chain.

After learning from Shi Yaoguang that ninety percent of his batch could yield jade, the Young Master offered to sell it to Quan Jinbei.

Had it not been for Shi Yaoguang, he would not have been aware that such a high percentage of jade could be carved from his batch of stones.

However, even knowing this, he had no intention of keeping the stones for himself.

If it wasn’t for Shi Yaoguang, even if he made money from this batch of stones, he wouldn’t have the life to spend it.

Therefore, he felt it better to bestow this "unrighteous wealth" upon Shi Yaoguang, who had been his benefactor.
