East City's Antique Street.
Ever since Zhu Yuanzhang established his capital in Nanjing, this already prosperous city had become even more prosperous.
The Eastern Market was the trading center of the Ying Tian Prefecture. All the goods that were transported from the Central Plains to other places would gather here.
Occasionally, they could even see foreign merchants dressed in strange clothes, peddling rare treasures from foreign countries.
Of course, in Zhang Qing's eyes, nine out of ten of these foreign merchants were authentic Central Plainsmen.
It was just like how he would pretend to be an old construction worker in the future and swindle people with "newly unearthed" antiques.
"Priest Zhang Xiao!"
"Little Taoist, it's all thanks to you last time. I changed the name of the shop, and business has indeed improved.”
"These are grapes from another country.”
As he walked past the market, many merchants greeted Zhang Qing, trying to please him.
The reason was that Zhang Qing was quite famous in the fortune-telling industry.
They were businessmen, especially those who sold antiques and jade. Sometimes, they were very particular about this. It was better to believe in something than not.
Of course, there were also a few who didn't believe it, and they were all those who didn't get a good result.
Those people had already gone home.
Yes, back to his hometown.
Therefore, the merchants who came to him for fortune-telling were more or less respectful and fawning.
Zhang Qing also smiled and responded to them one by one, but he didn't stop in front of any shop.
The Aura Gazing Technique told him that none of these shops had what he wanted.
This time, he came out to try his luck.
"It seems that it's not easy to find a dusty magic tool.”
Zhang Qing shook his head slightly.
He wasn't disappointed. He walked straight to the most popular and prosperous place in East City.
In a short while, they arrived in front of a well-known jade shop called " Kun Mountain."
That's right, he was here to look for jade today.
Although the yellow paper could carry spiritual energy, its reserves were too scarce. As his cultivation increased, it was no longer enough.
The effects of the produced protective talismans were also quite limited.
Jade could communicate with spirits, especially fine jade. The less impurities there were, the more spiritual energy it could carry.
For example, the Imperial Jade Seal was made of Heshi Jade and could even carry the fate of the country.
"How has Daoist Priest Zhang Xiao been recently?"
The owner of Kun Mountain Jade Store was a graceful woman in her twenties. The moment she saw Zhang Qing, her eyes lit up.
Su Ruyi's footsteps swayed as she took the initiative to greet him with a slight bow.
First of all, Zhang Qing had an otherworldly temperament and was as handsome as an immortal.
Secondly, Zhang Qing had once saved Su Ruyi's life.
Last month, a thief disguised himself as a clerk in the jade shop, but in fact, he was scouting the place and was ready to rob the jade shop.
According to the original trajectory, not only was Kunshan Jade Store robbed, but the beautiful Su Ruyi was also robbed.
That great thief was known as the jade-faced butterfly. He robbed money and women!
Fortunately, Zhang Qing had deduced it and reported it to the authorities in time, allowing Su Ruyi to survive!
However, from then on, Su Ruyi, who had always been indifferent to men, looked at Zhang Qing with a slightly abnormal gaze.
Women liked heroes who saved the damsel in distress, especially when the hero was handsome.
"Do you want to buy some jade? You can tell me which of the jades you like.”
Su Ruyi's eyes were fixed on Zhang Qing.
"It's too expensive. I can't even afford one.”
"I want to ask the Lady Boss for a favor." Zhang Qing shook his head and said.”
To him, jade was a consumable. He needed a lot of it, and it had to be of good quality.
The jade objects displayed in the hall were all made into jewelry or ornaments. According to his demand, he would probably have to empty the jade shop.
"I haven't repaid you for saving my life last time."
Su Ruyi's eyes were filled with resentment, but she seemed to have thought of something and said,"Little Taoist, if you need my help, just say it.”
"Lady Boss, can you take me to the jade market at the mouth of the river?”
Zhang Qing didn't come here to buy jade.
The jade market at the mouth of the river was a place for stone gambling. The raw stones from all over the world would be unloaded there.
Uncut raw gemstones were naturally much cheaper.
Many jade merchants and players would gather there to choose.
The raw gemstones were relatively cheap. If they were cut up, their price might increase by dozens of times, or they might be worthless.
"This matter is simple. I will send a carriage to send you there.”
Su Ruyi served Zhang Qing some refreshments and let him rest here first.
About two hours later, when the jade market was about to open, she personally sent Zhang Qing onto the carriage and arrived at the jade market at the east of the river.
As the name suggested, the jade market at the mouth of the river was by the river. There were cargo ships floating on the water.
Many hired workers were moving the raw gemstones down.
The scene was bustling with activity. There were all kinds of stones displayed on the streets, and there were people picking them.
The central courtyard was the place where the best things were stored.
Only the major Jade Sects were qualified to enter.
The courtyard was very spacious, and the quality of the raw stones inside was incomparable to those outside.
Moreover, the guests who came were all extraordinary.
Suddenly, Zhang Qing, who was beside Su Ruyi, raised his eyebrows.
He recognized a figure dressed like a wealthy businessman in the crowd.
His face was resolute and heroic, but his eyes were filled with fatigue.
Who else could that person be but our crown prince!
Zhu Biao's appearance was also normal. Zhang Qing didn't even need to count. He could guess with his toes that he had been followed by the Jinyiwei.
The reason why he had snuck into the jade fair was definitely to find him.
At this moment, Zhu Biao also looked over.
His face was filled with admiration and joy as he walked over.
"Little Taoist priest, we meet again.”
