Just as she was pondering whether this was jade, a cold voice echoed in her mind.
A piece of jade has been identified. The jade is of excellent quality and is very likely a top-grade Hetian jade. Please take good care of it.
Su Miaoyan was bewildered for a moment.
I don't know when it started, but the notification sounds in the space changed from simple alarms to detailed explanations.
Perhaps... it's related to the appearance of the bees, and... the change in her mindset?
However, Su Miaoyan was too lazy to delve into the specifics. After all, the fact that the space could provide such detailed hints was a good thing for her.
Since the stone in her hand, which looked like a goose's head, was Hetian jade, Su Miaoyan didn't stand on ceremony and accepted it directly.
She then picked up an ordinary stone next to her and compared it with the jade. She found that the surface of the Hetian jade was oily and smooth, and it felt like silk to the touch.
The other ordinary stone felt dry and rough to the touch, with a coarse texture that felt a bit scratchy. In contrast, the Hetian jade pebble was bluish-gray, while the ordinary stone was whitish.
Lu Ting followed at this moment, and seeing that Su Miaoyan was holding two stones, he also took a look at them.
It's a pity he wasn't a professional, so he didn't notice anything special about it.
Su Miaoyan also got up from the ground, casually threw another ordinary stone back into the river, and then put the top-quality Hetian jade that had been tested by the system into the straw basket.
Lu Ting frowned slightly, "Wife, what is this..."
Su Miaoyan didn't hide anything, "Lu Ting, this piece should be Hetian jade, we can take it back."
"Hetian jade?"
Although Lu Ting was a novice, he was still aware of the preciousness of Hetian jade.
It's still early summer, so the water in the Taka River isn't very deep yet. Generally speaking, after the summer flood season is over and the autumn floods recede, Hetian jade will slowly be washed out of the river. That's the best time to find jade.
But right now...
Lu Ting looked at an ordinary stone, took it out of the straw basket and examined it closely. He looked at it from left to right, but couldn't see anything different about it.
Su Miaoyan nodded. "Yes, if my judgment is correct, this piece is very likely to be Hetian jade."
It's top-quality Hetian jade.
However, Su Miaoyan did not explain.
Although Lu Ting was very curious about how his wife had recognized it, he didn't ask and simply put the stone back into the straw basket.
At the same time, his understanding of his wife has reached a new level.
The more time I spend with my wife, the more I realize how many skills she has!
Lu Ting followed behind, and soon he discovered that whenever his wife stopped in one place and picked up a seemingly ordinary stone, it might actually be a hidden jade!
With the help of the spatial prompts, Su Miaoyan also learned about the characteristics of most jade stones.
High-quality jade typically has a warm, oily luster, while fake jade often has a glassy luster or is overly bright.
If you shine a light on it, you can also observe that the interior has a felt-like interwoven fiber structure, which is evenly and densely distributed and has a strong oily feel.
Su Miaoyan also went from relying on the space at the beginning to being able to find things on her own later.
However, a certain location range is still needed to indicate the location; otherwise, even if one has the ability to identify jade, there is no opportunity to do so.
Because there are just too many pebbles on both sides of the Taka River.
If we search piece by piece, who knows how long it will take.
The first piece of jade that Su Miaoyan found was of the highest quality. The pieces she found afterward were all of relatively good quality, but far from being of the highest quality.
However, Su Miaoyan was still very content, because when she touched it, she could clearly sense the longing for space.
Each time, she would first put the jade into her spatial storage to absorb its wealth value, and then quickly take it out and put it into the grass basket after she had finished absorbing it.
As time went by, the once empty straw basket gradually became filled with stones.
Of course, it contains not only Hetian jade, a precious type of pebble jade, but also mountain jade, such as translucent white jade, emerald green jade, and mutton fat white jade.
The value of these is comparable to that of Hetian jade.
If it weren't for the space, she definitely wouldn't have been able to tell that these ordinary-looking stones were actually very valuable mountain jade.
Among them, the most beautiful jade to Su Miaoyan were Hetian red jade and Hetian yellow jade.
Lu Ting looked at the jade in the basket, glanced at the time, and seeing that his wife had no intention of stopping, he continued to follow silently behind.
At the same time, I kept an eye on my surroundings, fearing that something dangerous might happen.
Su Miaoyan was completely immersed in the joy of picking up jade. She used her tools to remove the stones next to her and took out a stone buried deep inside. When she took it out, her eyes lit up.
It's another piece of Hetian yellow jade.
She glanced back and saw that Lu Ting was still behind her. After putting the Hetian yellow jade into her spatial storage, she took it out again.
And at the very moment she took it out!
The sound of space rang in my ears once more!
[Detection revealed rare and precious Hetian yellow jade. Space wealth value increased, space successfully upgraded, and "medicine" unlocked for the host.]
Is that all?
Su Miaoyan paused slightly as she placed the jade into the straw basket.
Lu Ting noticed her dazed expression and asked with concern, "What's wrong, honey? What's wrong?"
Su Miaoyan suddenly came to her senses. She didn't reply, but subconsciously looked at the straw basket.
Only then did she realize that the straw basket was already filled with a lot of jade, and that the jade inside was all very valuable.
She smiled slightly at Lu Ting, "Lu Ting, I didn't encounter any problems, it's just that, it seems, I accidentally..."
Lu Ting: "Accidentally what?"
Su Miaoyan: "I accidentally got addicted to picking them up."
Lu Ting's concerned expression was replaced by a smile. He patted the woman's head and reassured her, "It's alright."
Su Miaoyan glanced at her watch and realized that the hour hand was already pointing to one o'clock.
Before we knew it, an hour had passed.
Thinking that she had things to do tomorrow, Su Miaoyan said, "Lu Ting, let's go back."
Lu Ting readily agreed, "Okay."
The two returned the way they came.
This trip was very fruitful; not only did they successfully unlock the "medicine" in the space, but they also successfully obtained a basket of very valuable jade.
Su Miaoyan planned to take some of these jade stones home to process herself, and sell the rest.
Although there is no market now, that's only in the open. If Su Miaoyan's guess is correct, there should be a "black market" in every place.
She believed that in the vast Gobi Desert, as long as she was willing to search, she would surely find such a place.
