Chapter 2850: This Is a Counterfeit

Chapter 2850: Chapter 2850: This Is a Counterfeit

"Inheritance Treasure?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Youfu became interested and couldn’t help but ask.

"I’ll keep it a secret for now, you’ll find out later." Li Xuanzhi said with a smile.

"Alright, alright, let’s eat first."

Lin Yi remained unmoved, showing little interest in the so-called Inheritance Treasure they mentioned.

This bunch really enjoys putting on airs.

Ring ring ring—

Halfway through the meal, Lin Yi’s phone rang; it was a call from Shen Shuyi.

Lin Yi walked out of the cafeteria and into the corridor.

"Mom, you must’ve seen the video, right?"

"The video where you threatened Aiden?"

It was clear that Shen Shuyi was somewhat surprised, even a bit excited.

"I wouldn’t say it was a threat, just a little strategy." Lin Yi said:

"The matter of the chip alliance is already settled. By stirring up public opinion through this, it’s advantageous for us."

"You handled this beautifully." Shen Shuyi said:

"Over the years, this person named Aiden has put quite a few obstacles in our path in international trade. Once this video is released, it will be impossible for him to get re-elected, and having someone else in his place will be extremely beneficial for our side."

"That’s what I thought too." Lin Yi said with a grin:

"But my abilities are limited in this area, so I’ll need your expertise to handle this."

"We’re family, so don’t bother with empty gestures." Shen Shuyi said:

"The matter with the Wang family has yet to completely clear up its impact on you, so you should rightly bolster your position; send the video to relevant leaders yourself, I won’t intervene."

"Got it."

"Be careful while you’re over there." Shen Shuyi said:

"Remember your identity, and don’t venture abroad unnecessarily; it’s not good for you."

"Got it, Mom."

"Alright, I’ll hang up first, call me if you need anything."

After exchanging a few words, Lin Yi hung up the call.

Afterward, Lin Yi forwarded the video to the leaders of relevant domestic industries, and their reactions were even more excited than Shen Shuyi’s.

Lin Yi chatted with them for quite a while before hanging up the phone.

When Lin Yi returned, lunch was nearing its end.

The group gradually walked out and got onto the bus parked outside, and half an hour later, they arrived at the largest local museum.

The museum was divided into several large zones and was lavishly decorated.

But the items inside were quite uninspiring.

The so-called artifacts here were rather shabby, many of which had deep historical ties to Yan Country.

Moreover, they were only a hundred or two hundred years old, and if they were in Yan Country, they wouldn’t even qualify as gifts to enter a county-level museum.

"Daoist Zhang, the artifact I mentioned earlier is inside here. It’s not usually on public display, but I can take you to see it." Li Xuanzhi said:

"And it has a deep connection to Daoism, I’m sure you’ll be amazed when you see it."

"This is what you just referred to as the Inheritance Treasure, right?" Zhang Youfu said with a smile.

"Exactly, I’ll take you there now."

Guided by Li Xuanzhi, the group arrived at the innermost hall.

Compared to the other exhibits, the things here were better preserved, and the decor was more ancient and simple.

Soon, the group reached the display stand at the very end, facing a one-meter-square glass casing lined with a yellow cloth, above which rested a yellowed ancient scroll.

"Daoist Zhang, this is our treasure of the museum, Cantong Qi."

"What? Cantong Qi?"

Upon hearing this, the people from Shangqing Palace were quite taken aback.

Cantong Qi, also known as Zhou Yi Can Tong Contract, is a Daoist classic and one of the most important texts.

This text is revered as the progenitor of all medicines and is the world’s first book on the preparation of pills.

Despite being lost over the years, to find it here was unexpected.

"Yes, it’s the world’s first text on pill-making, and we’ve preserved it here all along."

Zhang Youfu did not look pleased.

Cantong Qi is a classic of his own country, yet it appears here, showcased publicly; the intent is obvious.

Meanwhile, Lin Yi, who was visiting elsewhere, overheard their conversation and couldn’t help expressing doubt.

When he initiated his job completion rate as a Daoist priest, the system rewarded him with a job package that included not just 10 million cash but also a copy of Zhou Yi Can Tong Contract.

Since the system’s rewards couldn’t be fake, it implied that the one they’re displaying here must be counterfeit!

Indeed, these people never fail to impress in their antics.

Taking out a fake, putting on a show, and flaunting it everywhere with utter seriousness—what a bizarre train of thought.

"Are you sure the Cantong Qi you have is authentic?"

Lin Yi’s words caught Li Xuanzhi off guard.

"Master Lin, saying that is a bit over the line. We acquired it through immense effort twenty years ago at an auction. Do you doubt its authenticity?"

"Where it came from is of no interest to me, but I truly harbor doubts regarding its authenticity."

At this point, the Shangqing Palace people also spoke up. Zhang Xiaoyun whispered:

"Uncle, we shouldn’t act rashly. After all, it’s a national museum; they wouldn’t make mistakes with things like these. Even if we’re unsatisfied, we can’t use this as an excuse to pick a fight."

"Am I someone who picks a fight easily? I’m simply addressing the matter; their displayed Cantong Qi is definitely not genuine."

"Heh..." Li Dongying sneered, "Master Lin, one must present evidence for everything; empty words won’t do."

"I claim this Cantong Qi is fake because the genuine one is in my possession."

These words provoked a great deal of shock amongst those present.

Nobody expected Lin Yi to provide such a rationale.

"Brother, you’re saying the genuine one is with you?"

At this point, even Zhang Youfu couldn’t sit still. If something went awry, it wouldn’t just reflect poorly on Shangqing Palace.

Because he represented the nation!

"Yes, but I don’t have it on me."

"Hahaha..."

Li Xuanzhi and Li Dongying burst into laughter.

"Master Lin, you’re just too humorous; even if you’re dissatisfied, you can’t come up with such a reason, who would believe that?"

"It’s simple, I can have someone send it over."

Lin Yi glanced at his watch and said:

"It’s two o’clock now, if we hurry, it should arrive by five."

"Now this is a joke; this is international! How could it arrive in three hours?"

"No worries, I have a private jet, it can take off anytime."
