Earth Cultivator

Chapter 111 Trading Markets
"Boss, is it okay to put those rough stones in your room?" Standing in front of the foggy Ruyi Inn in the early morning, Liao Kai asked Fang Yufan worriedly.

Seeing a wisp of pale white mist slowly drifting away from his eyes, Fang Yufan said indifferently: "It's just a pile of stones. It only cost me more than 3000 yuan when I bought it yesterday."

"That's really a pile of rocks." Liao Kai stretched out his hand and brushed away the mist that had been lingering around him for a long time and refused to dissipate.

In the early morning, the ancient city of Pingchuan was extremely misty, and wisps of white mist drifted out from the Pingchuan mountain range, and then drifted into the small town along the foot of the mountain along with the morning wind blowing from the mountain range.

In a short time, it was like a thick fog in winter, and the entire ancient city was completely shrouded in a layer of fine mist like a veil.

The cloud and fog in the ancient city is a great beauty of Pingchuan!
A little after seven o'clock is the time when people seize the time to go to bed and not wake up.Walking on the street full of fog and shadows, Fang Yufan asked Liao Kai who was next to him suspiciously: "I said little fat man, are you mistaken? It's so quiet everywhere, there's not a single ghost." Is it because we got up too early?"

"Boss, haven't you heard that the early bird gets the worm?" Liao Kai shook his head and said, "This time period is just right. Don't look at the fog that looks scary now, but it will disappear after a while. Let's talk , Aren’t we a bit far away from the trading market, if we go out earlier, we can arrive earlier!”

"Okay, do what you say!" Fang Yufan said with a slight shrug of his shoulders.In fact, at this time he had already heard the footsteps of pedestrians coming from the thick fog.

Not long after sitting in a noodle shop, the thick fog that had covered the entire world before visibly dissipated.When a bowl of steaming, fragrant braised beef noodles was placed in front of Liao Kai, there was no trace of mist outside.

"Boss, do you really want to eat something?" Liao Kai asked Fang Yufan while wiping a pair of bamboo chopsticks.Fang Yufan shrugged his eyebrows and said: "You can eat as long as you want, so much nonsense!"

Taking advantage of Liao Kai's spare time eating noodles, Fang Yufan looked at this noodle shop with more than a dozen tables.

It is estimated that because the trading market is located nearby, there are already several tables in the store.These people are either dressed casually or in suits and leather shoes.But there is one thing in common. While eating the pasta in front of them, they are talking with their companions such as "emerald" and "lively".

A bundle of true knowledge was protruded out, and Fang Yufan "saw" several groups of people coming out of various alleys towards the end of the street outside the store.In his feeling, at the end of the street, a complex wave of spiritual energy was transmitted from the end of the detection range of true knowledge.

A look of astonishment gradually appeared on Fang Yufan's face who wouldn't let his true knowledge out if nothing happened.I didn't expect that the jadeite was criticized as useless yesterday, but today I was slapped in the face by this faint aura fluctuation!
It turns out that the rough jadeite also contains spiritual energy, but each rough stone contains very tiny strands. Only when a large number of rough jadeite stones gather together, Fang Yufan can capture this huge wave of spiritual energy.

In the final analysis, it was still because of his low cultivation base.After some introspection, Fang Yufan couldn't help urging Liao Kailai.

Ten minutes later, Fang Yufan and Liao Kai were already standing in front of an old gate that was ten meters high.Passing through this gatehouse is the famous Pingchuan Jade and Jade Trading Market in the ancient city of Pingchuan.

At this time, in the market, there was a lot of people, and a wave of incomparably lively atmosphere rushed towards him.

"Boss, it is said that this gatehouse has a history of more than 300 years!" Stepping through the gatehouse, Liao Kaichao and Fang Yufan introduced, "The trading market is divided into two parts. One circle is the Pingchuan Jade and Jade Exhibition Hall, and there is a huge jadeite rough weighing 2 tons, which is known as the treasure of the town hall!"

Standing in front of a two-meter-high glass display board, Fang Yufan looked at the little fat man who was talking with a smile and said, "Can you say something that is not on this board?"

"Hey!" Hearing this, he looked up at the sign that introduced all the information about the trading market in detail, and Liao Kai immediately laughed.

Slightly looking up at the layout of the Pingchuan Jade and Jade Trading Market marked on the sign, Fang Yufan found interestingly that the entire trading market is like a huge egg, and the Pingchuan Jade and Jade Exhibition Hall is the yolk inside the egg.

"Come and take a look, it's a pity not to buy the authentic raw jadeite from the century-old pit!"

As soon as he entered the trading market, Fang Yufan heard all kinds of cries in his ears.At a glance, I thought it was an ordinary Japanese goods market!

"Is there any particularity between the old pit and the new cave?" Fang Yufan turned his head and asked Liao Kai when he walked past several shops and heard the boss tell him that the products from the old pit must be high-quality goods or that the products from the new cave would definitely be a surprise.

Scratching the back of his head, the little fat man shrugged his eyebrows and replied: "I heard my uncle mention it once before, but I forgot what it is about!"

"Hehe, are these two little brothers coming to Pingchuan for the first time?" The shop owner in front of Fang Yufan and the two of them stopped after hearing their conversation, put down the purple sand teapot in his hand and greeted them with a smile, "Meeting is fate, why not come in and talk."

"Boss, can you explain the confusion for the two of us?" Seeing that the shop owner was wearing a knee-length gown, Fang Yufan asked as he stepped into the shop where the shelves on both sides were filled with all kinds of rough emerald stones.

"Hehe" the shop owner laughed a few times before saying a word, then pointed to a few dark brown rough emerald stones on one side of the shelf and said, "Two little brothers, take a look, the rough stones of this material are from Laokeng. With a swipe of his finger, the boss pointed to more than a dozen pieces of rough jadeite with light gray skin on the other side of the shelf and said: "These are all freshly mined materials from the new cave."

"There's no difference?" Liao Kai rolled his small eyes and said, "It's nothing more than a different skin color."

There is a difference, but it's all inside.Fang Yufan, who took back the internal conditions of these rough stones, muttered to himself.

He could see that almost every piece of the rough jadeite from the old pit pointed by the shop owner was green.On the other hand, among the rough jadeites mined from the new cave, seven out of ten have no green, and even if there is green in the remaining three, they are white-green with almost no color.Even if Fang Yufan doesn't know how to appreciate jadeite, he still knows that this jadeite is all respected by green.The more intense the green, the greater the value.

"Hehe, this fat brother just mentioned one of the differences." The shop owner continued with a smile, "In the past, when people picked rough jadeite, it was not like it is now. Even a stone with a little ringworm dared to use it as a rough stone Selling. At that time, buying and selling rough jadeite was very particular. If you dare to pass it off as a good one or take a fake as real, you will be cast aside! Cough, look at my mouth! This statement is going astray! "

The shop owner smiled and continued: "Let's tell the two little brothers, if it is really the old pit jadeite, there must be jade in it. If it comes out of a new hole, there is no guarantee. It depends on your own. I don’t have the eyesight to discern!”

"Hehe, after talking for a long time, are the two little brothers interested in buying a piece or two to try their eyesight and luck?" The shop owner asked with a smile on his face.

Fang Yufan glanced at Liao Kai.Well, for the sake of the boss spending so much saliva, let's buy a piece.

"The boss is honest, how can we not take care of the business!" Liao Kai said while looking at the few rough emerald stones that the previous shop owner introduced as Laokeng.And Fang Yufan walked alone to the row of rough jadeite produced in the new cave.

"Ha, I'll just pick this one!" After a short while, Liao Kai picked out a piece of rough jadeite the size of an apple from several pieces of rough jadeite with joy on his face.

"Little brother, you have good eyesight!" The owner of the shop moved up to Liao Kai, looked at the rough jadeite in his hand, and said, "This is the best rough jade in it." He said, "Boss, you just said that you are serious! If this is the best performer, isn't it also the most expensive?"

The shop owner was stunned at first, probably wondering why this fat boy suddenly became an elf!Then he said with a smile: "Hehe, it's rare to have a relationship with the two little brothers. How about it, after the little brother picks out the rough stone, how about I give you a [-]% discount?"

"5% off?" Liao Kai frowned, then shook the rough stone in his hand and asked, "How much is this?" "Not expensive!" The shop owner shook his head and replied, "This rough stone I’m sure it’s green! It’s only 8.”

"5?" The little fat man repeated in dissatisfaction.But after he glanced down at the rough jadeite in his hand, he raised his head and said, "8 is 5." Hmph, promise first, I'll come and slow down with you after the boss picks out the rough jade he wants Slow bargaining.Looking at the smiling face of the shop owner, Liao Kai muttered to himself.

Sure enough, there are bound to be "surprises" in the output of new caves!Looking away from the dozen or so pieces of rough jadeite, Fang Yufan said quite angrily.Damn, each piece looks like it's in stock, but it's actually a piece of white crystal particles inside.Isn't this cheating!
Turning around and seeing the shop owner and Liao Kai looking at him, Fang Yufan gave up trying to pick out a rough jadeite that could produce green with the naked eye.After all, I am not a professional, so I will not bother with that god!
With this idea in mind, Fang Yufan sent out a bundle of true knowledge, and then transformed this bundle of true knowledge into a spider web-like air mask that enveloped all the rough stones in the store.

Huh?This piece is not bad!Fang Yufan's eyes revealed a gleam, and he found a piece of relatively darkest green among some light green, light green, and medium green.

"Little brother, are you sure you want to choose this one?" Seeing Fang Yufan bent down and took out a piece of rough jadeite with a blackish skin from the bottom of the shelf, the shop owner asked in surprise.

"Is there a problem?" Fang Yufan tilted his head slightly and said, "Don't tell me that this rough stone is your treasure!"
