With nowhere left to turn, Lin Feng, a dropout drowning in debt, stakes everything on the treacherous jade gambling market along Yunnan's border. An accident brings his bloodied hand into contact with a strange piece of black-wusha rough stone, awakening a hazy and painful supernatural ability known as “jade touch.” He can sense the hidden veins inside raw jade, but the power also draws endless watchers and murderous intent.
Before the legend of his overnight fortune can spread, a cold blade is already closing in. Forced to team up with Lao Chen, a seasoned drifter, and Sangji, a mysterious Dai hunter, Lin Feng ventures deep into the perilous mines of northern Myanmar. He is trying not only to escape his pursuers, but also to uncover the shocking secrets surrounding one “strange stone” after another.
The ancient legend of the “Secret Cache of Western Yunnan” is no mere myth. Behind it lies a terrifying power that goes beyond wealth and can shake the very boundaries of reality. Strange energy rifts, lost stone guardians, and ruthless pursuers... In the primeval rainforests of Yeren Mountain and the shadowy depths of its mines, every step of this desperate journey could be his last.
Is this supernatural ability a gift or a curse? Is the secret cache a blessing or a catastrophe? When his fingertips once again touch the jade core, cold and warm at once, Lin Feng faces a high-stakes gamble over life and death, one that transcends everything he knows.
The knowledge about jade is relatively detailed and professional, and the storyline is very realistic.
