Ring, ring, ring.
The melodious ringing of the bell echoed in the school. The youthful students of Eastern Sea City No. 3 Middle School filed out of the school gate, laughing and joking as they left.
Opposite the school gate, in the black Audi, Chu He looked at Zhang Haoran, who was staring straight at the school gate, full of doubt.
"Still nothing."
Zhang Haoran only retracted his gaze when the campus quieted down.
"Which school are we going to next?”
Chu He skillfully started the car and drove. From the time they left the Hundred Blessings Garden until now, they had already visited three middle schools. Every time, Zhang Haoran would carefully observe them. No one knew what he was looking for.
Zhang Haoran knew that Chu He was puzzled, so he didn't explain. He said indifferently,"Send me back first."
"Alright."
Chu He agreed and the car turned to Dongjiang Road. Zhang Haoran's tightly furrowed brows made Chu He want to ask what kind of difficult situation he had encountered. For some reason, Chu He didn't ask in the end.
Perhaps even Chu He himself did not realize that after coming out of the Hundred Blessings Garden, he had become much more restrained in front of Zhang Haoran.
48 Dongjiang Road.
"Immortal Elder, you're back."
After bidding farewell to Chu He, Zhang Haoran had just entered the room when Wang Jin, whose soul was still floating, welcomed him.
After asking if anyone had been here, Zhang Haoran looked at Wang Jin's pale face and frowned."How long do you need to recover?”
Termination Energy was a poison to souls. Wang Jin was in such a miserable state to save him, so he naturally had to pay more attention to him.
"Thank you for your concern, Immortal Elder. This small injury will heal in three to five days.”Wang Jin replied with a smile.
Zhang Haoran nodded and let Wang Jin continue to treat his injuries. He called Han Yuting. When he hung up, the sky was already dark.
After eating a simple meal and preparing to cultivate, Zhang Haoran realized that the spiritual energy in the room had decreased by more than ten percent.
Ninety percent of it entered his body under the effect of the Spirit-Forming Talisman, and the other portion was absorbed by Wang Jin, who was healing in the cultivation room.
"There's still not enough spiritual energy."
According to his previous speculations, the spiritual energy provided by the spirit vein here would at least support him to the seventh level of Qi Condensation. He did not expect that after only a few days of cultivation, his spiritual energy would begin to decrease.
In the future, when he accepted a disciple, he would have to increase the consumption of a portion of spiritual energy, and it would be even more difficult for him to make ends meet.
Shaking his head, Zhang Haoran tossed the distracting thoughts out of his mind. He sat cross-legged on the bed and began to recite the incantation.
With the addition of the two Spirit Forming Talismans, the spiritual energy in the air entered his body like a swallow returning to its nest, and turned into true essence along with the circulation of the cultivation technique. The effect of the Spirit-Forming Talisman was too strong. He had to control it carefully in case Wang Jin could not absorb the spiritual energy.
Before daybreak, he opened his eyes helplessly. There was not much spiritual energy left in the room.
"We have to find a new source of spiritual energy as soon as possible.”
He was only given ten days to complete the mission of accepting a disciple. Now that a day had passed, he had no progress at all.
The amount of Zhen Yuan consumed by physiognomy was very little. To find a disciple who met the requirements was no different from finding a needle in a haystack. The Zhen Yuan in his body had long been exhausted after the three middle schools and nearly 10,000 people had seen him.
He had to improve his cultivation in order to maintain the consumption of physiognomy and complete the task, so spiritual energy was the most important.
He was already lucky to have found this gathering place of spirit veins. He didn't believe that he would be able to find another gathering place of spirit veins in Eastern Sea City in a short time.
Now, if he wanted to obtain spiritual energy, he could only start with jade and antiques.
Jade was the best carrier for storing spiritual energy. In ancient times, jade stones that stored sufficient spiritual energy were called spirit stones. Now that the spiritual energy in the world had decreased, there were very few jade stones that could be called spirit stones.
However, if there was too much, it could also provide a lot of spiritual energy. Antiques, on the other hand, depended on their age. The longer they were buried, the more spiritual energy they possessed. Only antiques with a grade B and above would have the spiritual energy to catch his eye. Unfortunately, as time passed, the price became more and more expensive.
Touching the five million yuan check that he had just received yesterday, Zhang Haoran smiled bitterly.
During this period of time, he had been earning money very quickly, and spending money even faster.
Cultivation was simply burning money.
When he thought about how he still had a disciple to support in the future, it gave him a headache.
He put these distracting thoughts aside and ate something. When Zhang Haoran walked to the side of the road, Chu He drove over.
"Haoran, are you still going to the middle school today?”Chu He asked with a smile from the driver's seat.
Zhang Haoran got into the car and shook his head.”
"Go to the jade market?" Chu He was stunned for a moment before he joked,"I didn't expect a blockhead like you to be enlightened. You know how to buy gifts for the school belle?”
Chu He's words made Zhang Haoran stop what he was doing. After hearing Chu He's words, he realized that he had never bought a gift for Han Yuting since he met her. He felt a little guilty, but he still shook his head."I'm going to buy some jade that I can use. Do you know anyone there?”
Since the orthodoxy spiritual altar could determine the grade of the jade, he reckoned that he could also sense the amount of spiritual energy contained in the jade. However, jade was a luxury item after all. He wanted a large amount. Without someone familiar with the way, five million yuan could not buy much.
This was also the reason why he called Chu He over.
"You really asked the right person."
Surprise flashed across Chu He's eyes as he said,"Do you still remember my third aunt? She manages the jade market in Eastern Sea City. My family owns 70% of the jade trade in Eastern Sea City.”
"Oh?" Zhang Haoran was stunned. However, he remembered that Chu He's second grandfather was also a cultivator. Of course, he would pay attention to the trade of jade stones that contained spiritual energy.
"Why don't I give Third Aunt a call?”Chu He probed.
Zhang Haoran nodded. In the Chu Clan, only Chu Tianyin gave him a good impression.
The jade market was not far from Dongjiang Road.
Leaving the car in the parking lot, the two of them slowly walked into the jade market. The antique buildings on both sides made people feel like they had returned to ancient times. Zhang Haoran could feel the spiritual energy in the air and thought that they had come to the right place.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Chu Tianyin still hadn't arrived, so the two of them decided to go shopping first.
After visiting more than ten shops, Zhang Haoran understood a lot about the rules of the spiritual energy contained in the jade.
The amount of spiritual energy contained in the jade had nothing to do with the material. Instead, it had just been unearthed, and the longer it was formed, the more spiritual energy it contained.
Even though those jade stones that were carved into exquisite ornaments used to contain a lot of spiritual energy, now that the spiritual energy had mostly dissipated, he was not willing to be a sucker.
"Boss, are there any jade stones that have just been unearthed in the market?" Zhang Haoran thought for a while and frowned.”
"Haoran, did you say you were going to cut the stone?" Chu He frowned. The jade that had just been unearthed was either an antique or a jade that had just been cut out of a raw stone. However, dissecting stones was not something that Zhang Haoran, who had just started to have some money, could afford.
Zhang Haoran nodded.
Chu He frowned and said,"Haoran, cutting stones is known as one blade heaven and one blade hell. Shouldn't we be safer?"”
"There's a place to cut stones? Let's go take a look." Zhang Haoran said excitedly. He had heard of cutting stones before, but he had never seen it for himself.
With his perception of spiritual energy, he knew very well whether there were jade stones in the raw gemstones. He would not lose out no matter what.
Chu He could not persuade Zhang Haoran, so he could only lead the way.
The two of them walked to the end of the street and turned a corner. A wave of heat hit them.
He saw dozens of people gathered in front of an ordinary shop. It was a far cry from the deserted street before.
These people in suits and leather shoes were obviously successful people, but their faces were red and their necks were thick. Some of them even spoke rudely, like people from the market.
Zhang Haoran's eyes lit up. The spiritual energy here was much higher than on the streets outside.
"Green!"
Suddenly, someone shouted, and many people immediately squeezed towards the shop. At the same time, many people shouted themselves hoarse.
"Young Master Long, I want this jade stone for three million.”
"Three million and you want to take advantage of it? Look at that water seed, it costs at least four million!”
"Six million, I bid six million.”
Zhang Haoran and Chu He looked at each other and squeezed into the crowd. Zhang Haoran secretly circulated his true essence, and the people in front of the two of them seemed to make way for them. The two of them easily reached the front.
The shop was not big, but there were no less than a thousand stones of various sizes outside the shop. The price was marked on the stones.
At the entrance of the shop, there were three stone-cutting machines. A stone-cutting master stood in front of one of them. On the workbench of the machine, a basketball-sized raw stone was cut into one-third. The cut was slightly to the left, and the green color was very pleasing.
On the right side of the stone cutting machine, a young man in a white suit and a red tie looked smug. He looked provocatively at the woman not far from him with an ugly expression.
"Third Aunt, why is she here?" Chu He said softly. He wanted to call for help, but he was stopped by Zhang Haoran.
"Chu Tianyin, someone has bid six million. Have you chosen? This Young Master doesn't have time to waste here with you.”The young man in white looked at Chu Tianyin with disdain.
"Young Master, I think President Chu is afraid of losing. You're a magnanimous person.”Behind the young man in white, a sly-looking follower said with a smile.
The young man in white smiled." Goudan, even if you gave her three days, she probably wouldn't have the guts to make a move. She's really a sore loser."”
"Long Tian Le, watch your words!”Chu Tianyin berated coldly.
"Be careful?" " Chu Tianyin, I'll give you ten minutes." Long Tianle laughed sinisterly and said coldly," If you still don't make a decision, I'll personally go to the Chu Clan to collect the bet."”
Chu Tianyin's body trembled, and her face turned ashen. She gritted her teeth and randomly pointed at a raw gemstone the size of a human head.
Then, someone brought the raw stone that Chu Tianyin had chosen to the stone cutting machine. With a rustling sound, layers of stone powder fell down.
The surroundings instantly became extremely quiet. Everyone's eyes were focused on the stone platform.
As the raw gemstone became smaller and smaller, Chu Tianyin's face became paler and paler. Long Tianle, on the other hand, burst into laughter.
"Director Chu, we lost the bet." In the end, the stone-cracking master said in a low voice.
Chu Tianyin's body trembled, and she almost fell to the ground.
"Chu Tianyin, 60 million. Remember to transfer it to my account.”Long Tian Le laughed and said proudly,""The money came too quickly. 90 million twice. Chu Tianyin, Director Chu, thank you!”
Chu Tianyin's expression turned even uglier. She wished she could swallow Long Tianle whole.
