However, Jiang Chen remained calm, exuding an air of confidence as if victory was already in his grasp. Jin Jiangming's family, on the other hand, looked utterly bewildered; they had no idea what the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings were.
At this moment, the one with the most complicated feelings was undoubtedly Cao Yuanfang. He no longer felt as confident as before. The more composed Jiang Chen appeared, the more uneasy he became. It seemed he had encountered a formidable opponent this time.
After a while, Jin Jiangming emerged with a wooden box, placing it on the table and opening it in front of everyone. When they saw the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings, the Jin family members were filled with confusion. They had seen many antiques before, and the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings did not seem particularly special. The material appeared to be neither gold nor copper; while it had an ancient and dignified look, it seemed a bit excessive to fight over something that didn’t appear to hold much value.
Cao Yuanfang's eyes lit up upon seeing the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings, his expression filled with joy as he nearly reached out to grab them. Even Jiang Chen's demeanor shifted slightly; he secretly sighed in relief. While others could not discern the extraordinary nature of the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings, Jiang Chen could see that this pair of bracelets was indeed the real deal.
Now that he confirmed it was the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings, Jiang Chen naturally felt it was within his grasp. Jin Jiangming was not worried about Jiang Chen snatching them away; instead, he prepared to present the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings for Jiang Chen to examine.
"Mr. Jiang, please take a look and see if this is truly the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings," Jin Jiangming said.
"No need to look; it is indeed the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings. Although I am not one to force others' hands, once I set my sights on something, I must have it. Besides, this Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings holds no value for you. I wonder if Master Jin would be willing to part with it and give it to me? Of course, I can offer something in exchange," Jiang Chen replied with a faint smile.
Though he wanted to retort against Jiang Chen's words internally, Jin Jiangming maintained his composure and politely asked, "Since it's confirmed that this is the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings, it's a divine artifact. Its value likely surpasses that of the Lantingji Xu or the Imperial Jade Seal. What could Mr. Jiang possibly offer that is of equal worth?"
"A pill," Jiang Chen said, and with a flash of green light in his hand, a Life-Extending Pill appeared.
Seeing the green pill in Jiang Chen's palm made Jin Jiangming frown. "Do you think I'm a three-year-old? You wouldn’t be trying to pass off Liuwei Dihuang Wan as an Elixir, would you?" Jin Jiangming sneered, looking down on Jiang Chen’s pill; after all, he had never heard of any remarkable pills in his life.
"This is a Life-Extending Pill. If taken when your time is near its end, it can extend your life by ten years," Jiang Chen stated calmly.
Upon hearing this, Zeng Xianyi's eyes brightened. Both Jin Jiangming and Cao Yuanfang looked again at the pill in Jiang Chen's hand but found it hard to believe without evidence.
"Mr. Jiang, if this pill truly possesses such miraculous properties as you say and could be used to exchange for the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings, I still cannot believe there exists such a wondrous elixir unless you can prove its efficacy," Jin Jiangming replied.
"Mr. Jin, don’t be unappreciative. My Young Master’s words are not to be doubted; in your hands, the Heavenly Mechanism Twin Rings are just an ordinary bracelet with no use at all. Being able to exchange it for My Young Master’s Life-Extending Pill is already your fortune," Qin Xiaoya said solemnly.
"Mr. Jin, with both Miss Qin and myself here vouching for its authenticity, do you still not believe?" Zeng Xianyi added.
"I don't believe it," Jin Jiangming stated flatly.
"Truly ungrateful," Qin Xiaoya said angrily.
