When Jin Jiangming obtained the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings, he had no idea of their origins. He only knew that they were an ancient artifact, valuable yet discreet. However, Jin Jiangming was someone who liked to dig deep into matters. Unable to clarify the background of the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings, he asked many people about it. Since Cao Yuanfang was well-versed in various subjects, he brought the rings to him for appraisal. At that time, Cao Yuanfang could not provide any information about their origins either, merely stating that they were a good item.
At that time, no one paid much attention to it. After all, Cao Yuanfang had unearthed several large tombs and possessed many valuable items, so he naturally did not think much of a bracelet whose origins were unknown.
Jin Jiangming played with the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings for several years. During this time, they exhibited strange glimmers on multiple occasions, which made him increasingly believe that these rings were not ordinary. Eventually, he finally discovered their true origins.
When Jin Jiangming first learned about the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings' background, he was stunned. They were ancient divine artifacts! In terms of value, they might even be more precious than the missing Imperial Jade Seal. Such treasures could not be revealed to the outside world.
From then on, Jin Jiangming hid the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings away, keeping them secret even from his son and grandson. He understood the principle that possessing a precious gem could be a crime.
Over the decades, although many events occurred, none were related to the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings. Jin Jiangming thought that no one would ever know about the rings in his possession during his lifetime. However, unexpectedly, two groups of people came knocking on his door in recent days.
Cao Yuanfang knew about the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings. Although Jin Jiangming was surprised, it wasn't entirely unexpected; after all, he had shown them to Cao Yuanfang back in the day. With Cao Yuanfang's remarkable memory, he likely could never forget any antique he had encountered. While he did not know their origins at that time, over the following decades, he might have heard tales about the Seven Great Artifacts of Huaxia and recalled the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings.
However, it was quite surprising for Jin Jiangming that Zeng Xianyi and Qin Xiaoya knew about the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings being in his possession. He had no idea how these individuals had come across this clue. After all, it had been thirty years since he last revealed the rings; even if someone was searching for them, there was no reason they would find him.
Jin Jiangming felt puzzled and helpless but resolved to play dumb. No matter what happened, he could not bring out the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings.
It wasn't that Jin Jiangming thought they were merely valuable; rather, since they were ancient artifacts and he had witnessed their strange glimmers firsthand, such treasures could be considered magical items. There must be some unknown "divine secrets" hidden within them—perhaps even secrets of immortality. Day after day, Jin Jiangming indulged in his own speculations. Whenever night fell and silence enveloped his surroundings, he would take out the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings and hide in his study to study them closely.
He anticipated that one day he could rely on the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings to become immortal! Therefore, a treasure capable of granting him immortality was something he would never part with.
As for Cao Yuanfang, his main purpose for this visit was indeed centered around the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings. Over the years, Cao Yuanfang had long settled abroad in Canada and only returned occasionally to linger around Hong Kong Island. With his wealth from back then and some antiques in hand, Cao Yuanfang had been living quite comfortably overseas.
