"Oh…Granny An…This is the Auspicious Cloud Jade Pendant that I obtained in the past. I'll give it to Granny as compensation for the loss of so many medicinal herbs when I went to treat Sister Xiao Qing this time.”
Xiao Chen did not hesitate to take off the auspicious cloud jade pendant on his waist and give it to Granny An. Although this jade pendant was a birthday gift from his mother in this world when he was five years old, it was the biggest "gift" for him to be able to cure Sister Xiao Qing's illness at this time.
He did not know why, but although this world did not have some of the metal minerals that he was familiar with in his previous life, there were all kinds of precious gemstones. Moreover, almost all the nobles on the continent had a special preference for jadeite, especially the jade among jadeite. Among them, the most high-grade imperial jade was simply priceless. Xiao Chen's mother had a sun green jade bracelet, but she would only wear it on her hand at large banquets. Usually, he was reluctant to take it out. Even Xiao Chen found it difficult to touch it with his own hands. This knowledge about gemstones was also told to him by his mother when he wanted the Yang Green Jade.
As for the jade pendant hanging on Xiao Chen's waist, although it was only white and green in color, it was as white as snow and had clusters of alluring green spots on it, making it appear even more vibrant. However, the most special thing about it was that these green spots actually gathered together to form a pattern of auspicious clouds. It was this divine stroke that made this originally ordinary jade pendant even more valuable. No wonder the greedy Granny An had been coveting it all this time.
"How…How can I…"
Although she said that she was sorry, Granny An's actions were not slow at all. In the blink of an eye, she had snatched the jade pendant from Xiao Chen's hand. There was an uncontrollable look of ecstasy on her face.
This time, he had really made a big profit. The auction price of this jade pendant alone could allow an ordinary family of three in Dark Night City to live a carefree life for a hundred years. Moreover, this kind of jade was basically priceless. There were many people who wanted to buy it.
Of course, if it was in the past, she would never have dared to take this auspicious cloud jade pendant. Moreover, as long as Xiao Chen said the word, she would immediately go and treat Xiao Qing. There would not be a situation where she would need to pay for the consultation. Otherwise, Xiao Chen's mother would have taught her a lesson if she knew that she had taken the birthday present she had given to her son.
However, it was obvious that the Little Young Master had fallen out of favor. People without any cultivation potential were trash in the family. They would not receive any other care from the family except for support. This was something that even Grandma An, who was not from the @@@@@@@@ family, knew.
"It's a moderate cold. It's not a big problem. Take a dose of cold dispelling soup and a dose of calming soup.”
When they arrived at Xiao Chen's courtyard, Granny An only needed to take a look at Little Green to understand her condition. She prescribed a prescription and told Xiao Chen some things to take note of, such as not having cold water for the next few days.
"Mhm…Thank you, Granny An."
Although he was a little indignant that Granny An had " snatched " the jade pendant from his waist, he did not take it to heart. After all, this jade pendant had nothing to do with him and he had no use for it now. There was no harm in giving it to her. However, that exceptionally greedy gaze made him feel very uncomfortable.
"I don't have time to brew the cold dispelling soup and the calming soup. Young Master, you can go to the medicine shop in the city to buy them. Although the effect isn't as good as mine, it shouldn't be a problem to treat Little Green.”
Although she already had a valuable jade pendant with a white background and green jade, the six-year-old Xiao Chen couldn't leave the house at all. He could only rely on himself to treat Little Green. Facing such a good "opportunity", if he didn't extort it properly, he would really be letting himself down, Granny An thought cunningly.
"Granny An, I don't have any more jade here. Can you…"
"If you don't have jade, you can use other valuable things!”
Before Xiao Chen could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Granny An. It seemed that Granny An had exposed her desire because she saw that Xiao Chen was easy to bully. Anyway, Xiao Chen did not have the potential to cultivate. No matter how much she blackmailed him, there would not be any "future troubles".
"Alright, I'll go look for it first."
Xiao Chen suddenly felt humiliated when he said that. Not to mention the first six years of this life, even in his previous life, no one had tried to extort him like this. In that world, there were legal restrictions. Even if a doctor wanted a red packet, he would not be so blatant. However, in this foreign world where strength was supreme, if one did not have strength, they would be bullied everywhere.
Thinking of the encounters he had in the past few days and the future, he was filled with resentment towards this body. Why was his spirit a skeleton without any potential for cultivation? Even if it was a skeleton mage who had just entered the ranks, although the potential for cultivation was not great, at least there was hope for him to become stronger. Once he became stronger, these people would not dare to be rude to him.
" Damn it…" Xiao Chen clenched his fists tightly. His fingernails dug into his palms and blood seeped out. The hot blood flowed down his knuckles and dripped onto the stone floor.
Right now, his mind was filled with the disdain and contempt of the servants and Granny An's greedy gaze. This was the first time he had such a strong desire-I want to become stronger.
