After a few breaths, the warm current gradually subsided.

Xu Xing focused his mind and sensed that the weight-bearing capacity of his dantian space had soared from eighty-four kilograms to about one hundred and ten kilograms!

It has increased by nearly 26 kilograms!

Based on his previous experience, a million-dollar collection could provide about one kilogram of additional space.

This time it increased by nearly 26 kilograms, corresponding to a value of around 26 million.

This figure is basically consistent with his estimated value of the imperial green jadeite thumb ring.

Xu Xing slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and carefully placed the thumb ring aside.

Then, he picked up the cutting machine again and began working on the bluebird painted pottery.

With the experience he had just gained, he was much more adept at operating the equipment this time.

With the aid of his X-ray vision, he accurately located the red diamond on the bluebird's belly, and then carefully cut along the painted pottery belly with a blade.

The blade moved slowly through the clay, making a soft scraping sound.

Xu Xing's movements were steady, without the slightest tremor.

About fifteen minutes later, the bluebird painted pottery was completely cut in half.

The moment the two halves of the ceramic body separated, a deep red gem rolled out of the cavity and landed on the velvet with a crisp, soft sound.

Xu Xing put down the cutting machine and carefully picked up the red diamond.

The moment the red diamond landed in my palm, a warm sensation came through, carrying a temperature that seemed to burn my skin.

It was a natural red diamond.

It is oval in shape and has been cut with exquisite craftsmanship, reflecting a dazzling light under the lamp.

The color of the diamond is a rich pigeon blood red, a deep and intense red, like a solidified flame burning inside the diamond.

The diamond has extremely high clarity; under strong light, almost no inclusions or impurities are visible, and its transparency reaches the highest level.

Xu Xing brought the diamond up to the light for a closer look.

The diamond's carat weight is estimated to be at least twenty carats.

Among natural colored diamonds, red diamonds are one of the rarest and most precious varieties.

According to statistics, red diamonds account for less than one ten-thousandth of all diamonds mined globally each year.

Natural red diamonds exceeding ten carats are extremely rare, each one a world-class treasure.

This natural pigeon blood red diamond, weighing over twenty carats, is so valuable that its value cannot be measured by ordinary market prices.

If it's put up for auction, it's not impossible for it to fetch hundreds of millions or even millions of dollars if it finds a collector who truly likes it.

Moreover, this red diamond has a clear provenance; it was a token given by T.V. Soong to Sheng Ai-yi.

This celebrity effect will further enhance its value.

Xu Xing took a deep breath and gently touched the surface of the red diamond with his fingertips.

The next moment, an even more surging warm current, like a volcanic eruption, rushed into my fingertips!

The scale of this warm current is several times larger than that of the imperial green thumb ring from before!

A warm current instantly flowed through my limbs and bones, and every cell was frantically absorbing this energy, as if a long-parched desert had been greeted by a downpour.

Xu Xing's body surface even shimmered with a faint golden sheen.

His muscles trembled slightly, his bones crackled, and his internal organs became stronger under the nourishment of this energy.

Ultimately, over 70% of the warm current, like rivers flowing into the sea, converged powerfully towards the lower abdomen (Dantian).

The space in the dantian vibrated violently, expanding and reinforcing outward at a speed visible to the naked eye!

This expansion is more intense than any before.

The boundaries of the dantian space are constantly expanding, the spatial barriers are constantly strengthening, and the structure of the entire space is undergoing a qualitative change.

After a few breaths, the warm current gradually subsided.

Xu Xing slowly opened his eyes, a glint of shrewdness flashing within them.

He focused his mind and sensed that the weight-bearing capacity of his dantian space had soared from over 110 kilograms to around 350 kilograms!

It has increased by more than 230 kilograms!

This means that this red diamond is worth at least 200 million!

It's worth far more than all the antiques he's picked up at bargain prices and auctioned off during this period!

Xu Xing slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling the surging power within his body, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

He carefully stored the imperial green jadeite thumb ring and the pigeon blood red diamond into his dantian space.

The moment the two items entered the dantian space, a ripple appeared inside the space, and then it returned to calm.

Xu Xing then carefully repaired the cut-open bluebird painted pottery and the separated wine cup with its base using professional adhesive.

Although the main body of these two items has been damaged, they still have some value as accessories to the collection.

After finishing all this, Xu Xing packed up his tools, took a shower, and then lay on the bed, feeling the surging power within him, before slowly closing his eyes.

Over the next few days, Xu Xing enjoyed a relatively peaceful period.

He goes to work at the Chengxinzhai Restoration Center every morning and goes home on time in the afternoon.

During this period, he restored a Qing Dynasty Kangxi period peachbloom glaze Taibai vase. The original piece was valued at 12 million, but after restoration, its market value reached 10 million.

The restoration of this porcelain piece was not too difficult, and he completed it in two days. The evaluation result was excellent.

More than a month passed quietly in my busy and fulfilling work.

That afternoon, Xu Xing was organizing his tools in his studio when his phone suddenly rang.

It was Chen Xinyi calling.

"Hello, Xinyi?"

Xu Xing answered the phone, his tone relaxed.

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, then Chen Xinyi's hesitant voice came through:

"Xu Xing... I think I'm pregnant."

Xu Xing was taken aback for a moment, then put down the tools in his hand: "What did you say?"

"I said I think I might be pregnant..."

Chen Xinyi's voice carried a hint of nervousness and unease, "I took a pregnancy test this morning, and it showed a positive result with two lines..."

Xu Xing took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart: "Where are you now?"

"I'm at home……"

"Wait here, I'll come pick you up right away. We'll go to the hospital for a professional checkup."

"good……"

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xing took off his work clothes, gave Zhu Yong and Liu Jian some instructions, and then quickly walked out of the studio.

He drove straight to Chen Xinyi's house, picked her up, and went directly to Chang'an Maternal and Child Health Hospital.

Registration, queuing, blood test, lab work...

After going through all the procedures, about an hour later, the doctor walked out of the consultation room with the test results.

"Ms. Chen Xinyi, congratulations, you are pregnant."

The doctor smiled professionally and said, "You're about five weeks pregnant now. The fetus is developing well. Just make sure you get plenty of rest and have regular prenatal checkups."

Chen Xinyi took the test report and looked at the data on it, feeling somewhat dazed.

Xu Xing stood beside her, put his arm around her shoulder, and gently kissed her forehead: "You've worked hard."

Chen Xinyi looked up at him, her eyes slightly red: "Xu Xing, I'm really pregnant..."

"Yes, you're pregnant."

Xu Xing smiled and said, "We're going to be mom and dad."

When the two left the hospital, Chen Xinyi was in a much better mood, with a happy smile on her face.

She took Xu Xing's arm, and the two walked together towards the parking lot.

Just as I reached the parking lot entrance, a voice suddenly came from the side:

"Xinyi?"
