After sending Zheng Hanjiang away, Lu Cheng continued to refine the Dragon Tiger Pill and Jade Bone Pill.
The 800-section keel from last time has not been finished yet. This time we got another dragon bone, which is said to have lived for a thousand years. He counted carefully and found that there were exactly 1,000 vertebrae, enough for him to practice the Dragon Tiger Pill many times.
This time, the quality of the Dragon Tiger Pill was higher than the last time, and it was also slightly larger.
He watched the elixirs condense out one after another, feeling happy and regretful at the same time: "If you take one elixir of this level, your spiritual energy will be slowly released, lasting at least two or three months. It's a pity that I can't be like Sun Wukong. Eat the whole gourd of elixir in one go, otherwise you will become a Heavenly Martial Master soon."
On the morning of December 4, Lu Cheng went to the Minghu Jade Workshop, took out a large piece of Daishan jade, and asked his employees to stamp it into round jade pillars. Then he used a gold dagger to cut the jade pillars into two or three millimeters. Piece, this is the "jade coin" popular in other worlds.
The owner of Minghu Jade Workshop, senior craftsman Hao Meiyu, couldn't understand what he was doing.
"Mr. Lu, what does a big shot like you do with these jade pieces?"
Lu Cheng smiled and said, "It works. How is the business of the jade shop lately?"
Speaking of this, Hao Meiyu beamed: "Business is very good. In recent years, the country has tightened the supply of jade materials, and many jade shops are out of stock. Therefore, the price of jade materials continues to increase, faster than the previous two years!"
The Jade Factory has the Hetian jade you provide, and the jade you make has occupied the nephrite market in many northern provinces and cities.
Hey, stop it! What's the point of cutting this low-grade Daishan jade? Let me show you the ledger! Now that the end of the year is here, let’s take stock! "
Lu Cheng smiled and said, "What kind of account book! No need to look at it! Whatever Sister Hao says is what it is."
"He is really a rich man! He doesn't even bother to take a look at the Jade Factory's dividends!"
"How much dividends will there be this year?"
"About 14 billion."
"Huh? Why are there so many?"
Hao Meiyu rolled her eyes at him: "Didn't I tell you that the price of jade materials has increased! The original fine mutton fat white jade cost 10,000 yuan per gram, but now it has increased to 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, or even more than 100,000 yuan!"
Lu Cheng smiled and said, "Okay, thank you to Sister Hao and all the employees."
He also has seven to eight hundred tons of nephrite. If he pushes it out all at once, he won't be able to sell it at a high price. Jade cannot be made into objects without being cut into pieces. Only by making exquisite jade objects through Minghu Jade Workshop and selling them out bit by bit can the value of beautiful jade be displayed to a great extent.
What's more important is that he knows where to find this kind of Kunlun jade. There are beautiful jade buried deep in the nine mountains of Kunlun Nine Heavens! Because the spiritual energy is revived and the spiritual veins are expanding, jade is constantly being generated. If he lacks jade, he can dig some back. As long as the spiritual veins in the heart of the broken mountain are not dug out, the Feng Shui landscape will not be affected.
In the afternoon, Lu Cheng drove to Hero Mountain. There were several jade shops here, including a raw jade shop. He came here twice and bought some jade materials.
However, this time, what he saw was a bit miserable. The jade stone store had closed!
There is a shop selling Daishan jade that is still open.
Lu Cheng chatted with the shop owner, and the information he got was consistent with what Hao Meiyu said. Because the country has tightened the supply of jade raw materials, the jade dug out of some jade mines has been directly collected into the national treasury, causing small and medium-sized jade shops downstream to close down. Business can no longer continue, and only some high-end stores are still alive because they have inventory.
The jade materials controlled by the state are mainly Kunlun jade and jade. Daishan jade and Dushan jade are not within the scope of control because they have messy colors and are not suitable for carving jade charms.
He thought of those rough jade shops in Yunnan and Guangdong, and guessed that those people's lives might not be easy either.
"Alas, things in the world are unpredictable, and people are changing. Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi! In the past few years, the jade business was booming, but it will be miserable in the future."
Returning to Qingquan Villa, we passed by the door of Guan Sangyue's house.
Lu Cheng saw Guan Sangyue and a vigorous old man.
Guan Sangyue stopped him with a smile on her face: "Lu Cheng, please stop for a moment and let me introduce you. This is 'Wang Donghai', the soul of contemporary Tai Chi. He is 80 years old this year.
Teacher Wang is a native of Chenjiagou, one of the first inheritors of the national intangible cultural heritage Chen Style Tai Chi, and an international Tai Chi cultural ambassador. Honorary professor of Zhongzhou Normal University, part-time teacher of Luoyang Normal University, founder of Chenjiagou Martial Arts Academy. National martial arts senior coach and first-level referee.
Teacher Wang participated in the first national Tai Chi Push Hands Competition in Beijing in 1982 and won first place.
Since 1983, he has visited France 8 times, Japan 7 times, as well as the United States, Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and other countries to give lectures and teach boxing. He has also founded Tai Chi research and training centers named after him at home and abroad. He was hailed as the "International Tai Chi Champion" by "U.S. News"; he was accepted as a "Permanent Honorary Citizen" by Osaka City, Japan; he was accepted as a "Permanent Honorary Citizen" by Badna City, France. "
Lu Cheng quickly stretched out his hand: "Hello, Teacher Wang. I have seen you for a long time!"
Wang Donghai smiled and said: "Lu Cheng, you are so young and you have won so many Olympic gold medals. It is really amazing!"
"Teacher Wang, you thank me for your praise."
"I came to Quancheng on business, and I met Xiaoguan by the way. Xiaoguan defeated MMA champion Pang Panghai and contributed to the promotion of Tai Chi. I discussed it with Chen Dawang, Zhang Shenggong and other old guys and wanted to ask Xiaoguan to come out and do it. The director of the Tai Chi Association invited her to Chenjiagou to teach her the art of pressing the bottom of the box."
"This is a good thing! Xiaoguan has a unique skeleton and is a good candidate for martial arts training!"
"Haha, I think your bones are even more amazing. Do you want to come with her? I'll teach you the secret technique of Chen Style Tai Chi."
"Ahem, my daughter is still young and I can't live without her."
Wang Donghai looked at him with a solemn expression and said: "I have seen a video of your wife beating ten masters. I have to say that she is an amazing chivalrous woman, comparable to the legendary Nie Yinniang and Xue Hongxian. Although I practice martial arts A lifetime, but she is no match for her at her peak. I really want to know, you or your wife, who has higher skill?"
Lu Cheng said with a "hehe" smile: "I can't. I can't compare to my wife."
Guan Sangyue curled her lips: "Just talk nonsense!"
Wang Donghai said: "So, your skill is higher? Can you open my eyes?"
"This... is difficult to handle."
"What are you best at?"
"To tell you the truth, I have brute strength. One punch weighs 3,000 kilograms. My wife's punch weighs 2,000 kilograms. I can reduce her strength by ten kilograms, so I can easily defeat those gangsters."
"Oh, are you born with divine power? Or are you practicing it the day after tomorrow?"
"Of course it's acquired through cultivation. I've always told you that there is a kind of Bixi pill in 'Xian Shen Tang'. Taking one pill can increase your strength by 100 kilograms. As long as you eat 30 pills, you can gain 3,000 kilograms of strength."
Wang Donghai glared at him and took a deep breath: "Why do I think you are doing something crooked?"
Lu Cheng smiled and said: "It's not a crooked way. People have to eat, right? Only when you are full can you have strength. The same goes for elixirs. Since they are beneficial, why not take them? Ask Xiaoguan, why can he win the battle? Pang Panghai, has she taken the elixir?"
Guan Sangyue nodded: "I have taken several kinds of elixirs. To be honest, the effects of the elixirs are very miraculous. However, ordinary people cannot afford them. One elixir costs millions!"
Wang Donghai shook his head: "Practice is the foundation, and elixirs are the supplement. You can't put the cart before the horse."
"Mr. Wang, you are a national treasure. I know that 'Xianshentang' is developing a life-prolonging elixir. It may take another ten years to develop it. By then, you can take one and live five more years. What do you say?" Isn’t the elixir very valuable?”
"Huh? Isn't that an 'elixir of immortality'? How could there be such a pill?"
"If there was such a pill, how much would it be worth?"
"Hmph, if you sell it for 1 billion, someone will buy it!"
"Are you always willing to buy it?"
"Me? I don't have that much money."
Lu Cheng smiled slightly, took out a business card and said, "Mr. Wang, if you take this business card, you can get a discount when shopping at Xianshentang. There is a number on the back of the business card, which is equivalent to a discount code."
Wang Donghai was thinking about the "life-prolonging" elixir, so naturally he was reluctant to throw away the business card.
