Chapter Seventeen Little Brother Hello

  Colors and auras, this is the essence of the world as seen by Xuan Qi.

  After practicing the Xuan Qi technique, Xuan Qi seemed to have seen the truth of this world, and things that were originally invisible could be displayed at the bottom of his eyes.

  Every person, every stone, every blade of grass... everything shows its unique side. The aura surrounding the objects is like their fingerprints, unique and exclusive, which is also the key information they announce to the outside world. Through these things, Xuan Qi can see some content that cannot be seen by the naked eye in daily life.

  For example, the original stones on the ground can be observed by observing the size, density and color depth of the light groups around these original stones to know how much spiritual energy is contained in these original stones. From the side, it can also reflect whether there is really jade inside the stone.

  Xuan Qi was originally poor, although he now has some money in his hands, but no one would complain about having too much money. Now, at a glance, he can see which stone on the ground has jadeite. To say that he is not tempted is definitely false.

  However, he didn't rush over and buy all the raw stones with jadeite immediately. Instead, he calmly walked around the venue, carefully checking which raw stones had jadeite in them.

  After going through some things, his current state of mind is now higher than before by an unknown amount. Anyway, he's still a reborn person, not only having fifteen more years of memories than others, but also the orthodox inheritance of the Mystic Door, so naturally, his mental state and vision will have a significant improvement.

  There are about 70 to 80 pieces of rough stone here, with different shapes and sizes. The small ones are only the size of a fist, while the large ones are as big as a bamboo basket. However, after walking around for a while, I found that there may be real jadeite among them, but only five or six pieces. Among them, only one piece has a huge and pure crystal, while the quality of the others is generally average, with two pieces being extremely weak. It's estimated that even if they are cut out, they won't be worth much money.

  Xuan Qi shifted his gaze to the crowd of people in the middle of the venue, watching as they carefully observed the stones in front of them with serious and solemn expressions, like experts. He couldn't help but feel a very pleasant and refreshing sensation rising up inside him.

  This feeling of nobody knowing but oneself is really cool!

  Xuan Qi was overjoyed, especially when he saw that most annoying Golden Fish Eye pretending to be knowledgeable about a piece of stone that didn't even have any jade in it, chatting away with the young man as if he was guaranteed to produce jade.

  This thing, treating trash as treasure, cut it out, you're being ripped off, haha!

  Xuan Qi is now completely in a schadenfreude state of mind, his eyes are narrowed like 258,000 yuan, looking very unpleasant.

  As if he had heard Xuan Qi's inner voice, Jin Yu brought the original stone the size of a basketball to Master Cutter and told him how to cut it, with a very experienced look.

  Xuan Qi could be one hundred percent sure that the raw stone in his hand was not jade, and he no longer paid attention to Jin Yu Yan. Instead, Xuan Qi shifted his gaze towards a certain someone standing not far away.

  A blouse with a mini suit, the dress of a strong woman, adds a few more points to the desire to conquer her. She stands there, simply the focus of the whole scene. Many people, while watching the cutting of the original stone, will occasionally glance at where she is.

  Xuan Qi gazed at her with greedy eyes, focusing on the high bulge in front of her chest, where a fiery red glow was sandwiched between two milky white halos.

  "How can we get Hongyu from her?"

  "This is easy, just take her as a cauldron and it's settled!" Old Ding shouted loudly.

  "Come on, can you say something practical?" Xuan Qi said in a low voice.

  "I've already been very practical, that piece of jade is obviously her treasured item, or else she wouldn't be wearing it close to her body. If you think you can buy it from her with gold and silver, it's completely impossible. Looking at her attire, it's clear she's not short on money. I see that although she knows some seductive techniques, she's only learned the surface level. Otherwise, I'll teach you a superior dual cultivation technique, I believe she'll be very interested."

  Xuan Qi heard this and couldn't help but feel a little moved.

  But saying it is easy, doing it is a headache. Is he just going to walk over and say to the beauty: Beauty, I have a superior double repair method, you should be interested, let's study together?

  Xuan Qi's mind conjured up two different scenarios where he was being hunted down or treated as a mental patient, and he couldn't help but shake his head.

  "This method won't work, let's just take it one step at a time."

  Xuan Qi saw Su Meng Xue seemingly familiar with that beauty, he hesitated for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to walk over.

  "Miss Su, we meet again."

  Su Mengxue smiled and said, "You're here to take advantage of me again?"

  "Haha!" Xuan Qi laughed and said, "Aren't all the people here trying their luck?"

  After finishing speaking, he looked at the beautiful woman beside him and asked: "Is this beautiful sister your friend?"

  "Hehe~~ Your mouth is quite sweet, calling me sister as soon as you open it." The beautiful woman covered her mouth and smiled, her every gesture revealing an astonishing charm that left Xuan Qi dazed. Seeing this, the other party laughed even harder, "Hello little brother, my name is Hong Qin. Do you know Xue Er?"

  Before Xuan Qi could respond, Su Mengxue hastily said: "I'm not familiar with him, I just know that Grandfather bought a vase from him yesterday."

  Xuan Qi moved his somewhat dry throat and said, "Sister's name sounds really good. I'm Xuan Qi, Sister Hong Qin, you can just call me Little Qi."

  Su Mengxue saw his appearance and her little nose wrinkled, letting out a soft hum.

  At this time, the roar of the machine started in the yard, attracting most people's attention. Everyone's focus was on the stone being ground under the machine. The special knife quickly slid along the surface of the stone, and a pile of powder fell down. A few minutes later, a faint green color appeared, and several sharp-eyed onlookers shouted out loud:

  "It's gone up!"

  "Zhāng le" is a term used in the jade market, meaning "winning a bet". When someone says "zhāng le", it means that the buyer has won the gamble and found high-quality jade inside.

  The others who were selecting rough stones at the scene heard that the first piece of material had risen in price and immediately gathered around.

  "Hehe!"

  The goldfish smiled complacently, raised his head and looked around, proudly like a rooster. His eyes swept over Xuan Qi, and he deliberately paused for a moment, revealing an extremely disdainful expression in his eyes. Xuan Qi had just been getting close to Hong Jin and the others, if he hadn't been cutting, he would have come over earlier.

  Xuan Qi originally didn't want to bother with this guy, but seeing him like that, he couldn't help it, and first gave him the middle finger, then the little finger.

  His action immediately caused Hong Qin and Su Mengxue's astonishment and laughter.

  The goldfish saw the situation and got very angry, just wanting to counterattack, but then heard other people's voices of regret:

  "Oh no, it's all over!"

  "What a pity, such a small amount of green is wasted."

  ……

  The goldfish-eyed man's face changed suddenly, he hastily turned his head to look, only to see that Teacher Fu had just made a cut, but this cut did not reveal any green color, and the jade block in his hand was now only the size of a fist. With everyone's experience, it was already impossible for a miracle to appear again.

  "Is it still sharp?" Master Fu asked.

  "Goldfish eyes gritted his teeth and said: 'Cut!'"

  Having said this, he inadvertently saw a hint of playful smile on Xuan Qi's face, and his complexion turned even more ashen.

  What he cares about is not the money for buying the rough stone, but his own face. His previous performance and the current result are compared, and he has lost a lot of face, especially after being ridiculed by Xuán Qí.

  The final result was as expected by everyone, and there were no miracles. This material only had a little bit of pale green that I saw before, which can only be described as something like green moss.

  At this time, a fifty-year-old old man with the surname Zhuang brought over a stone, not big, just a little bigger than a rice bowl, which he spent 500 yuan to buy. He took advantage of everyone's daze and asked the teacher to help cut it.

  "It's gone up!"

  Among the crowd, there were sharp-eyed ones who shouted out after the first knife fell.

  Old Zhuang heard this and immediately smiled, indicating that Teacher Fu didn't need to cut anymore. He took it over himself and used the sand wheel to polish it skillfully. Unfortunately, except for that one green stroke, the colors in other places faded away, and the volume wasn't big either. Although there was a slight disappointment, Old Zhuang was already very satisfied.

  Someone offered 5,000 yuan for the jade on the spot, but he didn't sell it. He said that next month his granddaughter would be one month old and he would give it to her as a gift.

  Xuan Qi watched as Lao Zhuang left with a satisfied expression, thinking to himself that this was truly a master, his moves were accurate and not greedy. From the way others treated this old man, he should have often gambled on rises, although it seemed like not much, but accumulated over time, it was also a considerable fortune.

  After this little episode, the tragic atmosphere of Jin Yu Yan's bankruptcy was dissipated. Everyone saw Lao Zhuang turn 500 into 5,000 and then suddenly multiply it by ten times, many people became eager to try their luck, they all believed that they too had such good fortune, and of course, they also believed in their own judgment.

  Many people quickly chose their favorite rough stones and took them to the cutting and polishing area, where staff helped polish them.

  But their luck was apparently not good, and they basically all lost without any surprise.

  Xuan Qi saw so many people busy picking stones and immediately turned around to run to a corner, selecting a raw stone the size of a shoebox with a price tag of 3,000.

  Xuan Qi paid quickly and smoothly.

  The stone he chose was completely unremarkable, to put it professionally, one, there were no python wraps, two, there were no pine flower decorations, and on the surface, there were only some black moss. In the eyes of professionals, this kind of stone is completely impossible to produce jadeite.

  So when Xuan Qi handed the stone to Master Fu, many people didn't think much of it and thought to themselves, "Where did this country bumpkin come from? Now he's going to pay tuition."

  The goldfish eye originally thought that Xuán Qí had two brushes, but didn't think he would pick such a waste stone. The depressed mood suddenly became much better, pointing at the stone and loudly ridiculing:

  "Haha, looks like I was right, even stray cats and dogs have come to gamble on stones! With so many stones to choose from, you pick this weird one. I'm sure you don't know the first thing about stone gambling, yet you still come here to learn from others. What a waste of family resources!"

  Xuan Qi glanced at him and said, "Do you think I would go bankrupt?"

  "You still want to bet on a rise? Haha!" The goldfish-eyed man burst out laughing, holding his belly exaggeratedly.

  Xuan Qi sneered: "What if we win the bet? Or else, let's make another one?"
