The Treasure-Appraising Security Guard’s Path to Martial Might

Lin Zhao, a museum security guard, awakens the ability to appraise antiques thanks to a jade-eye pendant left behind by his grandfather. He can see the high-martial arts legacies hidden within cultural relics, including techniques, divine weapons, and memories, and absorb spiritual energy to grow stronger. During a nighttime burglary, he uses the jade eye to identify the Azure Nether Blade Technique hidden in an ancient sword, defeats the thieves, and saves Su Qing, an apprentice restorer. From then on, he becomes embroiled in the conflicts of the high-martial arts world. Through his appraisals, he gains legacies such as the Martial Emperor's Heart Sutra and the Dragon Abyss Sword. He face-slaps high-martial arts clans and dark forces, solves the mystery of Su Qing's father's disappearance, and ultimately becomes a Martial Emperor, protecting the balance between cultural relics and the modern world.
