"gone"
Yoko, who had already gotten into the car, tapped the steering wheel to urge.
Cao Yi looked away, opened the car door, and got in the car.
There was a sound of a vehicle starting, and Yoko drove the car away from the Taj Pierre Hotel that stood in the night.
Despite Yoko's unruly attitude, he drives quite steadily. On the road, I encountered provocations from some racing gangs, but ignored them all.
"Taoist Master, the Purple Dragon King you photographed is called Jade in China, right?"
Yoko said suddenly.
Cao Yi glanced at the lockbox next to his feet (Christie's auction house gave him a lockbox for the safety of the auction items) and nodded: "Not bad."
"I didn't expect the Taoist priest to have a hobby of collecting jade. He must be an expert in this field."
At this moment, in Yoko's eyes, Cao Yi has merged with the jade collector.
In her opinion, Cao Yi is not a rich man, so he cannot be idle and spend millions of dollars to buy something that he can't live in or eat.
"no"
Cao Yi denied it.
Although he had read some novels about jade, Cao Yi, like most people, only had a vague concept of jade. In addition to knowing that jade is jadeite, which is different from traditional Chinese nephrite, other things such as pits, seeds, I don’t know anything about jadeite such as color, water, bean species, water species, glass species, and imperial green. Even if I encountered an old pit full of pine and flower python belts that day, I would just treat it as an ordinary stone.
"no"
Yoko looked puzzled, but she didn't ask any more questions. She was not one to ask questions to the end.
Soon, the car left Manhattan in the night, which is known as the cradle of world finance.
When passing by a large supermarket, Cao Yi went in to buy some mineral water, canned food, sausages, biscuits, and bread.
As Xiaotian's food ration during his return to China.
It was already past ten o'clock in the evening when we arrived at the Taoist Temple.
Yoko helped Cao Yi move the shopping into the car and left.
Cao Yi took out the key, opened the door of the Taoist temple, and shouted: "Xiaotian"
There was no response, and the entire Taoist temple was silent.
It couldn't have been taken away by a thief.
Cao Yi's heart tightened.
After living with this lazy and indifferent dead dog for several months, I have developed some feelings for him.
Temple of God, no.
There is no toilet. Xiaotian is a dog that doesn't eat shit.
Utility room, no.
There is no room for storing various household supplies.
There is no room for yourself to rest.
There's only one place left.
Cao Yi came to the room where the master lived, opened the door, picked up the flashlight on the table next to the door and shined it, and suddenly his head was covered with black lines.
I saw Xiaotian lying on his side on the bed like a human being, with his black and white furry head sticking out of the bed, and a stream of saliva flowing out of his mouth.
I even walked around the Taoist temple, and despite making so much noise, this guy was still sleeping so soundly.
"Ahem..."
Cao Yi coughed loudly on purpose.
Xiaotian opened his eyes, glanced at Cao Yi, the new master, turned his head, and continued to sleep.
Cao Yi: "..."
You can't get up, can you?
Cao Yi left the room, and after a while, he came back with several large packaging bags, took out a bag of sausages, peeled them open, and turned them around Xiao Tian's mouth.
The unique smell of sausage wafts in the air.
Within a few seconds, this guy seemed to come to life. He turned over and didn't get up.
The long-term lazy life has made it lose the flexibility that a dog should have.
Turn it over again.
I barely succeeded, although the posture was a bit ugly.
It opened its mouth and bit off half of the sausage and devoured it.
"I really don't know what's the use of raising a lazy guy like you? When thieves come in, they always leave with a smile."
After Cao Yi finished speaking, he unpacked some bread in the packaging bag angrily, threw it on the ground, and left.
Go back to your room.
Cao Yi opened the safe, took out the box containing the Purple Dragon King, and opened it.
A dazzling purple came into view, and the light of the flashlight shone on it, emitting a mysterious and eerie deep purple light.
If a young woman were here, she would scream.
Cao Yi reached out to pick it up and held it in his hand, with a look of intoxication on his face.
Not only women like beautiful jade, but men also like it.
"It's a pity that jade worth millions of dollars was broken like this."
Cao Yi said to himself, with a bit of reluctance in his eyes.
"Ding! It has been detected that the host has obtained the Purple Dragon King. The steps to extract the chalcedony inside the Purple Dragon King are as follows..."
A message came into his mind, and Cao Yi's face showed a look of surprise.
This chalcedony is different from chalcedony in the traditional sense. It is an essence substance hidden in some jade. Under normal circumstances, it is solid and cannot be seen to be any different from jade. When blood stained with aura drops on it, it will appear.
After looking at the effervescently beautiful Purple Dragon King for a while, Cao Yi gritted his teeth and put it down, found a sewing needle, stretched out his left index finger, pricked the fingertip, squeezed hard, and a drop of bright red blood fell on the Purple Dragon King.
For one second or two seconds, no changes occurred in the Purple Dragon King.
Just when Cao Yi was confused, the Purple Dragon King was shocked, and then the jade inside began to melt.
"here we go"
Cao Yi squeezed out a little more blood.
The jade inside the Purple Dragon King melts faster.
The reflected purple light is even more thrilling.
After ten drops in a row, half a fist-sized amount of water appeared inside the Purple Dragon King.
Cao Yi sighed lightly, picked up the Purple Dragon King, put it in the basin, raised his palm, and slapped it down.
Cao Yi, who had been transformed by the golden elixir, was so powerful that the Purple Dragon King, which was not very strong, split into seven or eight shocking pieces, and the pale purple chalcedony flowed out, just covering the pelvic floor.
Cao Yi took a deep breath, and a thick and cold spiritual energy entered his nasal cavity, making him uncomfortable and making him feel like dizzy.
"This is earthy, feminine spiritual energy. It's really extraordinary."
Cao Yi shook his head, picked out the pieces of the Purple Dragon King, found a bottle, and poured the chalcedony in the basin into it.
Looking at the chalcedony that only took up a quarter of the bottle, Cao Yi frowned. Such a small amount wouldn't last long at all.
At this time, a grunting sound sounded.
I was busy all night and didn't eat.
Cao Yi took out two bags of bread and a bottle of mineral water from the food bag and made dinner.
Somehow, a feeling of dizziness came over me.
Cao Yi yawned and went to bed.
The first day of the long journey ended like this.
The next day, Cao Yi got up, had breakfast, and began preparations before leaving.
Unpack the bread, ham, and biscuits in the packaging bags, and pour the mineral water into several basins.
Put the first volume of the Encyclopedia of Talismans, the bottle of chalcedony, the talisman, the writing brush, the yellow paper, and the cinnabar in a canvas bag with the Bagua Yin and Yang pattern.
At about nine o'clock in the morning, Mark drove to the Taoist Temple.
"Walk"
Cao Yi, who had been waiting for a long time, got in the car and closed the door.
There was an engine sound, and the car drove away from the Taoist temple hidden in the woods.
