After awakening her X-ray vision, the beautiful CEO couldn't sit still any longer.

Ye Tian's pace wasn't fast; each step landed on the thick carpet.

There was no sound, yet it felt as if it were stepping on the taut drumhead of everyone's hearts.

Dust particles floating in the air danced wildly in the beam of light, casting flickering shadows on the young face that was walking toward the display stand.

Ye Tian could feel that his back was being scrutinized by countless curious gazes, and that those malicious eyes had been pierced like sieves.

He adjusted his breathing slightly, walked to the display stand, and bowed slightly to the old appraiser and the audience, maintaining the humility expected of an advisor.

Then, he took out the silver-gray portable device that Wang Yuyan had provided, which looked like a high-end electron microscope, from his briefcase.

The device has a sleek design, exuding the coldness of a precision instrument, with the lens protected by a specially made metal cover.

"I'll make a fool of myself then."

His voice was steady as he firmly placed the equipment on the special stand next to the display case, and the lens was aimed at the dusty raw stone sample.

Some people in the audience were whispering among themselves, clearly surprised by the Wang family advisor's demeanor.

Zhao Jun chuckled, arms crossed, looking like he was watching a show.

Ye Tian ignored him.

He adjusted the angle of the device, then took out a pair of oddly shaped, wide-rimmed glasses with black lenses from his pocket and put them on.

The frames fit snugly against my temples, creating a slight pressure sensation.

This is cover equipment provided by the Wang family's technical team, which is said to be able to simulate spectral analysis feedback in specific frequency bands.

But at this moment, its main function is to provide cover for Ye Tian's use of X-ray vision.

He leaned down and brought his eyes close to the eyepiece of the device.

The world, behind the lenses and in his own field of vision, is quietly divided.

Through a specially designed lens, the external viewer sees the pale blue light and shadow of the simulated scanning interface projected by the device, along with the constantly fluctuating data stream.

Deep within his own vision, his spiritual power, like invisible tentacles, suddenly pierced the seemingly ordinary stone.

"Buzz!"

A slight tinnitus sounded inside my skull, and a familiar feeling of blockage came from my temples.

This perspective-focused approach was more mentally taxing than any of the previous ones.

Because he must accurately simulate the scanning trajectory of the device with his X-ray vision, so that it doesn't appear too abrupt.

Sweat instantly seeped from his forehead in a fine layer.

But all discomfort was dispelled by the sight before him in the next moment.

Full X-ray vision!

That rough, grayish stone skin seemed to melt away instantly, like thin ice under the scorching sun.

The interior of the raw stone sample is no longer a blurry patch of color or a simple mineral texture.

It is a microcosm that sends chills down your spine and is bizarre and fantastical!

Countless points of light, emitting a faint blue and dark gold hue, are like stars trapped in solidified amber, forming the starlight of this universe.

They flow in an extremely slow, yet clearly discernible trajectory, outlining complex patterns that are absolutely imperceptible to the naked eye.

These patterns overlap and intertwine in three-dimensional space to form a vast and incredibly intricate three-dimensional network.

The network is not uniform; rather, it appears exceptionally dense in certain areas, where light flows faster, as if rivers converge.

Ye Tian's heart skipped a beat; he saw it!

At several key intersections of the network, the starlight there is unusually dim, even appearing as a stagnant black.

It resembles an object formed by the forced compression and solidification of energy, hundreds of times denser than the surrounding flowing stellar matter.

This is definitely not the structure that natural mineral crystals should have.

Even the most complex naturally formed mineral vein networks possess a kind of chaotic yet harmonious quality.

The three-dimensional network before us, with its node distribution and texture, subtly exudes a sense of order that defies the laws of natural growth.

It's like someone using nanoneedles that are hundreds of times thinner than a human hair to forcibly weave something at the most microscopic level.

The sludge node, the clearest point closest to the sample surface, appeared like a cold, black pearl in Ye Tian's X-ray vision.

He forced himself to calm down and controlled the focus of the scan.

The analog data stream from the specially made glasses was designed to precisely cover the external area corresponding to the node he had locked onto.

Time ticked by, and the venue was eerily quiet, with only the faint whirring of the internal fans and Ye Tian's deliberately exaggerated breathing remaining.

Finally, as if he couldn't bear it any longer, his body swayed almost imperceptibly, then he straightened up abruptly and took off his black-rimmed glasses.

Behind the lenses, the blood vessels in his eyes were quite visible, and his forehead hair was slightly damp with sweat, clinging to his skin.

He steadied himself by holding onto the equipment stand, his face paler than when he went on stage, showing signs of eye strain.

This appearance speaks volumes more than any explanation of how mentally taxing the analysis had been.

He raised his hand without using any pointing tools.

He extended his index finger, about ten centimeters away, and pointed with extreme precision at the sample surface, at the location that corresponded to the black sludge node inside in his X-ray vision.

To the naked eye, it was just an ordinary little depression on the sample surface, slightly darker in color, and inconspicuous among the many pits and craters.

"Based on the preliminary structural spectrum inversion and micro-stress simulation of the equipment..."

Ye Tian spoke, his voice slightly hoarse and dry, which sounded very professional and focused.

"There is an extremely small energy concentration point inside this location of the sample."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the tense crowd below the stage before finally settling on the old appraiser's face.

"Its form and residual energy characteristics do not resemble those formed by natural geological movements."

It is more likely that it was subjected to some kind of extremely precise non-natural energy impact in its early stages of formation.

This results in a permanent distortion of the crystal structure inside that point.

This may be one of the root causes of the overall abnormal light perception and the unusual refraction phenomenon you mentioned.

He neither explicitly stated that someone had tampered with the materials, nor did he acknowledge any supernatural forces.

But the phrase "unnatural energy impact" was enough to send shockwaves through the minds of all those present who could see clearly.

As for the theory of identifying jade by observing its aura, he cleverly changed the subject:

"As for the ancient physiognomy method of discerning jade by observing its aura."

If it is indeed effective, it probably needs to be combined with such microscopic structural changes in order to see the origin and evolution of its qi.

After all, there's more to it than meets the eye!

As soon as Ye Tian finished speaking, the entire room fell into a deathly silence.

His words were logical and well-founded, and there was no loophole to refute them.

The old appraiser's formulaic smile completely disappeared for the first time.

His eyes were fixed on Ye Tian, ​​then on the spot where Ye Tian was pointing to the raw stone sample.

His eyes flashed with a sharp light, as if he were seeing this extraordinary young man for the first time.

He was silent for a few seconds, then pushed up his crystal reading glasses, his voice much lower than before:

"Directed energy impact? Interesting, a very interesting deduction."

This is the first time I've heard of this theory.
