"Hmph, so what if you don't have the strength? You're just jealous that the young master is better looking than you, right?”When a woman saw someone talking about her idol in this way, she immediately retorted on Second Brother Jiang's behalf,"That's right, that's right. Even if this young master doesn't have any spiritual power, he's not someone you boorish people can compare to.”Of course, Second Brother Jiang heard the discussion of the onlookers. Of course, if someone said a few words and he wanted to take revenge, how busy would he be? Why would he be enslaved by an unimportant person? Anyway, these words could not hurt him.
However, Dragon Whiskered Tiger didn't know that. He was afraid that his master would be sad after hearing these words, so he was about to comfort his master. However, he was relieved when he saw that Second Brother Jiang didn't care at all.
Of course, it was a very good choice to learn about the general situation of Luo City in the restaurant. There were all kinds of people in the restaurant. Therefore, Second Brother Jiang brought Dragon-bearded Tiger to the restaurant. When he felt that he had understood the situation, he left the restaurant with Dragon-bearded Tiger. His divine sense suddenly locked onto the strange movement underground and he hurriedly followed the direction of the earthquake!
In the outskirts of the city, a child crawled out of the ground and walked up quickly."Could Fellow Daoist be Fellow Daoist Tuxing Sun of Chan School?”It was said that Emperor Hong's wife was from the Tujing clan. After her, there was the Tu clan, the disciple of the Great Immortal of the Clan of Enlightenment, who lived on Penang Island to cultivate. She was short and cute, and her martial arts skills were excellent. The black broken rope tied to her body was amazing. It was called the God-Binding Rope, which was especially powerful. Tu Xingsun had been taught by the hairless old man at the top of the Flying Cloud Cave in Jialong Mountain since he was young. He was the third generation disciple of Chan School. Chan School was one of the most popular sects in the world, equivalent to the highest institution of learning in China. Just this diploma alone was very expensive! He had been learning for many years and was good at using a black iron rod. He also knew the Earthwalking Technique and could travel thousands of miles a day without being tired. This guy was actually so cute! "Fellow Daoist? I don't think so!" There's actually someone who knows me in such a remote place? Tu Xingsun was secretly shocked.
"I am Great Shang Empire's Great General Jiang Ziya, and I am here to sweep Dongyi under Emperor Xin's orders. I wonder if Young Master would be willing to follow me to make a great contribution and enjoy the blessings of the world!”Second Brother Jiang first showed off and then quickly drew a pie and threw it out. With one look, he knew that this Earth Traveler Sun was a person who was lost in the world of mortals. He quickly walked a few steps closer and advised,"Life is short. Wealth and status are not additional to anyone before they reach the Saint Realm. If they don't have it, they will lose everything they want. If they want to obtain a smile and thousands of tender feelings, they will have to risk their lives!”
Tu Xingsun thought for a moment. It seemed that the cake drawn by the other party was bigger and more tempting. He hesitated for a while and said,"Alright! I'll follow you." "See you in half a month's time at the recruitment camp at the border of the Lu Kingdom!”
When Tu Xingsun returned to the capital of the Su Nation, he found Yang Jian. Tu Xingsun and Yang Jian were born partners. Tu Xingsun was greedy for money, and Yang Jian was good at making money. He had three eyes! Earning money was fast. Whether it was gambling or tomb raiding, he only needed to take a look to know if there was anything. Yang Jian liked to bury the money he earned underground. He didn't believe in the bank or the money cabinet. If it fell and there was no place to pay for it, wouldn't it be a waste?
As for Tuxing Sun, he was good at stealing. Once he buried it, he would often steal it. After stealing it, he would write an IOU for someone and leave it there. However, the one who signed his name at the end was not himself, but Princess Su Da of the Su Country. That girl was beautiful, and Yang Jian was fooled. Even if Yang Jian found something wrong, he would not be angry when he saw the princess's signature. Instead, he would be so happy that his eyes would narrow into a line!
Hearing the argument in front of him, Yang Jian got closer and heard what the two parties were arguing about. In this day and age, even the daughter of General Deng Jiugong of the Great Shang Empire came out to cheat money, sigh! "Miss Yuchan, it's not that I'm unwilling to accept your antiques, but I'm just running a small business and can't afford them at all.”The stall owner looked a little scared.
The beauty called Deng Yuchan had a snake head tattoo on her forehead. She frowned and said in a low voice,"This is a good thing passed down from my ancestors. If it weren't for the lack of money, it wouldn't have been sold so cheaply. You can also earn a small profit by buying it.”
"Miss Yu Chan, it's not that I don't want to do it, but I can't afford it.”The stall owner's voice was very weak.
"You can't afford a thousand taels of silver. Do you think I'm a fool for such a big shop?”Deng Yuchan sneered." Just say it. Do you not believe me, Deng Yuchan? Do you think that Miss Deng is using a fake to blackmail you?”"No, no, absolutely not." The stall owner looked terrified and waved his hands repeatedly. Deng Yuchan grabbed his collar and said ferociously,"Then why didn't you buy it?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Yu Chan. I really can't afford it. My family is counting on the income from the stall. How can we afford such an expensive antique?”The stall owner had a pleading look on his face. Deng Yuchan turned a blind eye and said with a cold gaze,"So you mean that you don't want to give this lady face and don't want to do this business?”
"Miss Yu Chan, no, absolutely not!”As the stall owner spoke, he quickly took out his wallet." Miss Yuchan, how about this? Aren't you short of money? I'll voluntarily donate twenty taels to you, okay?" Are you going to find someone else to sell this Qilin Jade Carving?”"Damn it, a hundred taels, are you trying to send a beggar away?”Deng Yuchan was about to punch as she spoke. Yang Jian basically understood what was going on and hurriedly shouted,""Wait! The daughter of the great General Deng Jiugong of the Yinshang Empire, he also wanted to force others to buy her?”
To put it bluntly, Deng Yuchan and the others wanted to force the stall owner to sell the Qilin Jade Carvings, which anyone could tell were fake antiques, at a high price. The stall owner obviously didn't want to suffer such a big loss, but he seemed to be afraid of Deng Yuchan and the others, which was why the current situation had occurred. When Deng Yuchan saw that someone had intervened, her face immediately revealed a ferocious expression. Behind her, a few burly men also turned their gazes over.
The stall owner gave Yang Jian a grateful look. However, when he saw that Yang Jian had brought along a child-like fellow daoist, Tu Xingsun, by himself, a trace of worry quickly flashed across his eyes."Hey, can you afford such a poor guy? Or do you have something against me?" Deng Yuchan narrowed her eyes like a beast staring at its prey. Yang Jian was not afraid at all. He looked straight at the Qilin Jade Carving in Deng Yuchan's hand and asked,"You want to sell this Qilin Jade Carving?”
When Deng Yuchan heard this, she quickly looked at the guards beside her and then looked at Yang Jian with interest."I didn't expect you to be so reasonable. Are you interested in this?”"Can you let me take a look at the quality of this Qilin jade carving first?”Yang Jian asked. Deng Yuchan handed over the Qilin Jade Carving readily. Yang Jian took it and observed it carefully. Deng Yuchan and the stall owner knew that he was an amateur when they saw his posture.
The really valuable jade carvings were either produced in a special era, made by famous craftsmen, or used by nobles…All of them had certain characteristics. After a true expert glanced at the color of the item, he would immediately start looking for an inscription. Yang Jian's method of looking at antiques was like looking at cabbages and selling them by catty. He only cared about his face and did not care about the inside. He just chose the ones that looked good! He looked like a hothead.
Seeing this, the stall owner was secretly anxious for Yang Jian. He only hoped that Yang Jian could quickly see the clues of this fake so that he would not be deceived by this female bandit. Deng Yuchan, on the other hand, winked at the guard beside her and quickly snatched the Qilin Jade Carving from Yang Jian's hands. She said unhappily,"This young master has been looking at it for so long, but he still can't see anything? If there was a problem, he would have seen it long ago. It seemed that this lady's treasure was okay. After looking at it for so long, have you decided to buy it?”
"This thing looks a little old and not exquisite enough. It's also well maintained and hasn't cracked! I wonder what price someone wants to sell it for?”When Yang Jian asked this question, the stall owner could not help but hurriedly wink. Deng Yuchan immediately made a judgment in her heart. She knew that she had met a hothead and immediately pretended to be reluctant to part with him."Only the old ones are antiques! Can you understand some culture? This lady was originally prepared to sell this Qilin Jade Carving for 100,000 taels, but since it's rare to meet someone like Young Master who knows what's good for you, I'll give you a discount. This lady isn't sure how to calculate it, so I'll just sell it for 9,500,000 taels.”
"So expensive? Isn't it a little too high? I've seen greedy people, but I've never seen someone so greedy!”Yang Jian shook his head. "Then what price do you think is suitable for this treasure?" Deng Yuchan asked without changing her expression.”"Three hundred taels, I want it!" Yang Jian deliberately thought for a moment before bidding. "That's too low. At least six hundred taels." Deng Yuchan shook her head.”
"Three hundred and fifty. That's all I have. If it doesn't work, forget it.”Yang Jian lowered the price again. Deng Yuchan was smiling in her heart, but she had a conflicted expression on her face. After a long while, she said,"Alright, three hundred and fifty taels. Consider it a gift for making friends with you! However, this lady has already said it in advance. You can pay the money and deliver the goods. After the transaction, you are not allowed to go back on your word!”
"Alright." As Yang Jian spoke, he immediately began to fork out money. The stall owner saw that Yang Jian was going to be cheated if this continued. He immediately coughed and reminded,"Little brother, why don't you take a look? Or, you can buy some Qilin jade carvings from my stall. I have quite a few good quality ones here, and the prices are cheap…"
"You f * cking talk too much! Are you jealous that someone else bought it? If you want to buy it, then buy it. I told you to buy it but you refused. If you keep talking, I'll tear your mouth apart!" Deng Yuchan glared at him fiercely, and the guards beside her also looked fierce. The stall owner was as quiet as a cicada in winter and did not dare to make another sound. Even so, Su Da seemed to have noticed that something was wrong. She suddenly stood up and said to Deng Yuchan,"Let me take a look at the Qilin Jade Carving."
"You want to buy it too? No way, this lady is the most honest person. Once she agrees, she won't regret it! If you want to buy it, then buy it earlier. I've already sold it, so why are you still here to snatch it?”Deng Yuchan asked. Su Da shook her head and pointed at Yang Jian." He's my friend. I know a little about it too. I want to help him take a look."”"That won't do either. There's a first-come, first-served basis. After you pay the money, you can enjoy the wondrous stones together!”Deng Yuchan refused. Su Da saw that she was hiding it and immediately became suspicious. She turned to Yang Jian and said,"If you want to buy a Qilin jade carving, I'll help you pick more after dinner.”"No need, I think this is good.”Yang Jian shook his head and was in a hurry to pay again.
Su Da quickly stopped him and whispered,"There might be a problem with this thing. Don't buy it."”"Don't worry." Yang Jian smiled at her. He had seen people lie to him, but he had never seen anyone lie to him. If he could even lie to a three-eyed person, then he would have lived in vain. Su Da was a little anxious. She quickly grabbed his hand and pulled him to the side. She said seriously,"That jade qilin carving is very likely to be fake. Look at that small stall owner, he keeps winking at you. Clearly, that small stall owner has also noticed the problem.”
"Princess Suda, trust me." After Yang Jian finished speaking, he turned around and went to trade with Deng Yuchan. Seeing that Su Da's reminder was useless, the stall owner kept sighing. This young master's life was short. After Deng Yuchan and the others received the money, they all revealed a mocking expression and gently patted Yang Jian's shoulder."Not bad, brother. You have good eyesight. This jade carving is a good thing!”
"Haha, of course it's good stuff. It's a buy one get one free gift when you buy a mahogany screen. You can't buy it at most places!”"Yes, if I remember correctly, that set of mahogany screens cost dozens of taels of silver.”Deng Yuchan's guards also laughed loudly. They surrounded Deng Yuchan and left with 350 taels of silver.
Seeing that they had left, the stall owner looked at Yang Jian helplessly and said,""Young man, thank you for helping me today. However, I can't do anything about this fake Qilin jade carving.”
After saying that, he took out twenty taels of silver from his storage ring."These twenty taels can be considered my thanks to you. After all, these people are here for this old man. Seeing that this old man hasn't paid protection fees for a long time, they want to earn some money! This was not the first time they had used the excuse of selling antiques to collect protection fees. If Young Master didn't interfere, he would have to give them the silver.”"No need, no need. I think this thing is quite good.”As Yang Jian spoke, he happily held the fake Kirin jade carving and left in satisfaction.
Su Da followed behind Yang Jian with a puzzled expression.""Yang Jian, are you crazy? You spent 350 taels of silver to buy a fake Qilin jade carving, and you don't want the stall owner to thank you for the money?”Yang Jian did not answer. When he turned to a place where there was no one, he suddenly took out the Kirin Jade Carving and slowly added spiritual power to his hand to slowly grind off the jade saltpeter on the Kirin. "Yang Jian, what are you doing again?" Su Da turned pale with fright." Even if they knew it was fake, they wouldn't have destroyed it. After all, they bought it for 350 taels…"
However, before she could finish speaking, her eyes glazed over. After that, his face was filled with disbelief. On the ground, among the broken pieces of the Kirin Jade Carving, a piece of fluorescent, color-changing top-grade glass type amethyst the size of a baby's fist lay quietly. This kind of jade was green during the day and purple at night. Any glass type that had fluorescent light was at the emperor level. Moreover, it was the kind that changed color. It only appeared once every few thousand years. It was almost the size of a pinky finger and was priceless.
Yang Jian held the fluorescent color-changing glass jade and used his hands to break off some of the remaining dregs on it, weighing the amount.
" A fluorescent color-changing glass jade!" Su Da finally came back to her senses. She swallowed hard and rushed over quickly. Yang Jian handed her the fluorescent color-changing glass jade and smiled.""Do you believe me now? This is what ability is!" Su Da took the fluorescent color-changing glass jade and carefully examined it from top to bottom. Finally, she gave the judgment result in a daze."It's really a fluorescent color-changing glass jade.”
Yang Jian smiled and said nothing. "How do you know that there's another world here?”Su Da felt that it was very magical and turned her gaze to Yang Jian again." The Kirin Jade Carving contains fluorescent and color-changing glass jade. Young Master Yang must have a very high hit rate when he gambles on stones. These unique skills are not something that ordinary people can do.”Yang Jian looked at Su Da and said seriously,"Your Highness, you flatter me."”
"Don't play these word games.”Su Da stared at Yang Jian." Speaking of which, they didn't even see the problem with such a complicated thing, yet you could actually see it.”Yang Jian didn't expect her to be so sharp and didn't want to tell her about her unique skills, so he quickly changed the topic.""This fluorescent color-changing glass-type jade weighs about a pound, right? How much can it sell for?”
Su Da was still staring at him, not saying a word. "Your Highness, do you want to kiss her? There's a saying in the martial world that if a girl keeps staring at you, it's a hint that you can kiss her.”Yang Jian deliberately changed the topic again. Only then did Su Da retract her gaze. She took a deep breath and slowly said,"Since Young Master Yang has something to hide, then forget it.”
"I'm sorry." Yang Jian was somewhat apologetic. " I should be the one apologizing. You helped me find the fluorescent color-changing glass jade, which solved my urgent need. I didn't thank you and even tried to pry into your privacy..." Su Da said apologetically." If this fluorescent color-changing glass jade is put on the market, it is estimated to be sold for more than 200,000 taels. If it is auctioned, although it will take a long time, it is estimated to be no less than 350,000 taels. I'll offer a compromise price of 300,000 taels. What do you think? However, this is already one-fifth of the Su Country's national treasury. If I buy it for my father, it can be the country's treasure! He would carve a jade seal first and use the rest to make a pendant!”
"I naturally believe in the princess of the Su Country.”Yang Jian smiled, but his heart was in turmoil. Such a small thing could actually be sold for an astronomical price of 300,000! Poor Deng Yuchan. She thought she was smart and thought she was a hothead. She really sold this treasure for 350 taels of silver. And that stall owner actually thought that he was stupid and even wanted to compensate him with twenty taels…
