Stones are transformed by the natural force of heaven and earth and become precious jade. The jade industry drives the development of Xieyang City. It is one of the famous jade producing areas in the empire and is also a characteristic of the west.
Some jade stones have another universe inside, forming a space of their own, which can be made into a space ring.
Some contain huge amounts of energy and can be made into weapons, protective gear and other items needed by spiritual masters.
Some spiritual energy is so rich that it can be made into jewelry and worn on the body to help with cultivation in the secret realm.
Some stones are kept in the mouth so that the body will not rot after death, some can ward off evil spirits and cure diseases, and some can be arranged in formations with stones to change feng shui.
The precious and rare jade symbolizes power and wealth, luxury and wealth, and is deeply loved by the rich.
"A gentleman compares his virtue with jade, and jade will never leave his body." Huo Xuan touched the light cyan jade pendant hanging around his waist.
Huo Chuan explained: "The mountains here are rich in jade, so most people in the city play with jade."
No one can tell what is inside a stone. If you buy it with a lot of money and open it, it will be clear at a glance whether it is a profit or a loss.
It often happens that you get rich overnight or lose your fortune overnight. It is exciting and deeply tempting, so the jade industry has always attracted much attention.
Ling Han shook his head and said, "I can't tell the difference between this and ordinary stones."
"Haha, someone can taste it." Huo Chuan glanced at Huo Miaomiao and laughed: "Come on, Brother Mu, I'll buy you a drink."
The most famous tavern in Xieyang City, the three of them drank Jin Dou Liquor together. The aroma was fragrant and spicy.
"That stone just now can definitely produce a lot of jade."
The stone in hand was snatched away, and Huo Miaomiao was still angry: "The damn Wei soldiers are probably following me and will come to snatch the stone I like when they see it."
"That's the territory of the Pinghu Gang. It's okay to buy it quietly. Once things get serious and attract their attention, how can they give up the good stone?" Huo Xuan comforted.
Huo Chuan said: "Yes, the second young master of the Wei family, Wei Huai, did not say anything there."
Ling Han said: "Miss Miao Miao's knowledge of stones is probably unparalleled in Xianyang City."
The flattery was so good that Huo Miaomiao lifted a strand of hair in front of her forehead and snorted: "Of course!"
Huo Xuan coughed lightly and said, "My sister has a very high level of knowledge in the study of jade. She knows the age, moisture, and texture very clearly. She is no worse than the old men in the family."
Huo Miaomiao was very proud, and Huo Chuan said: "There will be a jade appreciation party tomorrow. If Brother Mu is interested in stones, you can come and participate."
"Okay, I have nothing to do and go join in the fun."
Huo Miaomiao said: "For the sake of your appreciation of this girl, I can help you with your advice tomorrow."
Ling Han smiled and said, "Then thank Miss Miaomiao first."
Huo Xuan looked at his sister in front of him. She was slim and graceful. She was already a big girl without realizing it. She had reached the age to get married. He looked at Ling Han again and wondered what his plans were.
The next day, Ling Han came to Yuling Tower early and inquired about the sales situation of the elixir. Lan Xu said: "There will be a large-scale auction in a few days, and the precious elixir will be launched at that time."
Ling Han nodded and was about to leave, but Lan Xu asked understandingly: "Sir, are you in urgent need of silver? I can pay some money in advance."
Are elixir masters so popular? Ling Han secretly sighed in his heart. He could still pay in advance for sending the auction items, so he smiled and said, "It's not needed for the time being."
The first floor gradually became lively, and Ling Han strolled around to watch. A middle-aged woman spent a large sum of money to buy a stone. What she found on the spot was a palm-sized piece of worthless jade.
A young man bought a stone worth tens of gold, and unexpectedly found a piece of spiritual jade as big as his head. It was green, transparent and shiny, and extremely beautiful.
Spiritual jade and spiritual stone have the same effect. They can be used for cultivation and store more spiritual energy than spiritual stone. When made into jade and worn on the body, it not only has a decorative effect but also helps in cultivation.
Such a large piece of spiritual jade has a spiritual energy level similar to that of a high-grade spiritual stone, which is enough to be worth hundreds of spiritual stones.
A high-grade spiritual stone is worth ten taels of gold, so the value of spiritual jade is more than a thousand gold!
Ling Han sighed endlessly. If he had such luck, would he still worry about collecting ten thousand taels of gold?
"Brother Mu!" Huo Xuan and his sister saw Ling Han coming over.
Huo Chuan said: "How about it? If there is a stone you like, let my sister help you look at it."
Ling Han smiled bitterly and said, "I'll just join in the fun."
Huo Xuan analyzed Ling Han: "To the east is the territory of my Huo family, to the south is the Qi family, to the west is the Wei family, and to the south is the Xing family. The four major families in Xieyang City occupy this floor of the Yuling Building all year round, and the four major sects He is running a jade business in a few streets outside."
The four most powerful gangs, Pinghu Gang, Luolong Gang, Jinshamen and Changkongmen, are located in Xieyang City. Coupled with Dantang and the mercenary group, the forces in Xieyang City are complicated and intertwined.
After listening to Huo Xuan's explanation, Ling Han understood the layout of the first floor. Sure enough, the shelves were arranged differently in the four directions. There were rows of stones in the shape of a "hui", with each of the four major families occupying one side.
In other Yuling Buildings, the first floor is occupied by some casual cultivators, running their own stalls, but here it is occupied by four major families, doing jade trading.
There was a square platform in the center, with seven or eight stones of similar sizes placed on it. They were colorful and different. Ling Han walked forward and took a closer look. The price of each stone was as high as ten thousand gold. "Are these stones so expensive?"
Huo Xuan smiled and said: "The ones here have been carefully selected and are waiting for someone to buy and open them. Look, the two pieces in front belong to our Huo family, and the others belong to the other three families."
Huo Miaomiao said excitedly: "I chose these two pieces, they are definitely worth the price!"
"Brother Mu, if you are not interested in stones, you can look at ready-made products." Huo Chuan led Ling Han to a shelf filled with various jade artifacts.
Jade rings, jade bis, jade plates, jade hostas, jade beads... there are all kinds of dazzling arrays, and many of them have spiritual power fluctuations. Ling Han played with them in his hands and asked: "Are these all made of newly cut jade from stones and polishing them? "
"Well, part of it is." Then Huo Chuan sheepishly whispered in Ling Han's ear: "And part of it was stolen from the tomb."
After hearing this, Ling Han swallowed his saliva, put down the jade utensils, and looked deeply at Huo Chuan.
Huo Chuan explained: "This is normal. Some forces are doing this kind of business."
"This place is rich in jade. When relatives pass away, many jade objects are usually buried with them. This has been a tradition for thousands of years. As jade continues to be mined, the jade storage in nearby veins decreases, and many people make wrong decisions."
Ling Han thought of the strange cave he had encountered when he first arrived, and the strange sarcophagus inside, so he suddenly asked: "I saw that uncle and nephew Wei Bing had a strong yin energy. Do they do this kind of thing?"
Huo Xuan nodded and whispered: "The Wei family is very evil. The second son, Kai Huai, was born with a disability. He was about to die of illness two years ago. Even the coffin was prepared. Suddenly, I don't know what happened, and he suddenly recovered. With a whole body of cultivation."
"Yes, he was already twenty-five or six years old at that time. At this age, it should be difficult to sense the existence of spiritual energy. How can he still practice?"
Ling Han's scalp felt numb when he heard it. According to common sense, the later you turn after the age of eighteen, the harder it will be to sense the existence of spiritual energy, let alone break through several secret realms in a row.
"This is really weird. I'm afraid the Wei family has various connections with the ghost clan!" Huo Chuan gave his guess.
Huo Miaomiao's pretty face turned pale, and she asked in fear: "Isn't the ghost tribe in the south? We also have it here?"
Huo Xuan said: "Mostly because the burial objects have spiritual energy, many coincidences gave birth to the ghost clan."
Ling Han was also sweating profusely, and he was extremely frightened when he thought about it. This ghost clan was even more mysterious than the demon clan. He wouldn't encounter anything unclean.
