Chapter 33

Hu Yuan stared intently at the ancient artifacts radiating mysterious light before him, an indescribable surge of emotion stirring in his heart. First to catch his eye was the incomplete bronze shield. Though worn and battered, the patterns upon it looked like traces meticulously carved by the hands of time, every single line seeming to whisper unknown secrets of the ancient past. Shifting his gaze slightly, a bronze Buddha statue stood quietly on the display shelf. Its posture was elegant, its expression benevolent, and the delicate textures added an ethereal, otherworldly temperament to it. The serene and peaceful aura radiating from the Buddha statue seemed to pierce through the barrier of time, transporting the observer into a realm untouched by worldly strife.
