Chapter 18 Magical White Jade
The sunlight shines on my body, and a warmth spreads to every part of my body.
Fang Yi was thinking about how to get the white jade from Zhu Licheng.
Of course, you can take it without asking.
But this behavior is like theft, he can't do it.
Alternatively, you can use the "ghost" to scare the other party and get the magical white jade.
This thought only flashed through Fang Yi's mind. He was kind by nature, so how could he be so dirty?
After thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth.
"Mr. Zhu." Fang Yi looked at Zhu Licheng.
Zhu Licheng hurriedly responded respectfully, saying, "Master, I will give you a reward of 500,000 yuan in a moment."
"That's not the case." Fang Yi waved his hand.
Zhu Licheng asked in confusion: "What is that?"
Xiao Zhang also looked at him curiously.
Fang Yi pondered for a moment, pointed to the location of the garden outside, and explained the situation: "The 'ghost' was at the corner of your garden wall before, but don't worry, I have beaten it to pieces. Normally, after death, the soul will return to the underworld in a short time. The reason why the ghost can live forever is because there is a treasure buried under the ground of your garden that can nourish the soul. So I want to ask you, can you dig out the treasure and give it to me? If you can, it will be considered as a reward."
Well, there are no ghosts in this world.
The reason why he said this was to make it easy for the two of them to understand.
Fang Yi told the truth and said there was a treasure hidden underground.
However, Zhu Licheng was shocked when he heard this, and stammered, "There's... there's something else in the garden of my house?"
Xiao Zhang also said tremblingly: "Raising souls? Isn't that just raising ghosts? Mr. Zhu, quickly ask the immortal to take away the evil soul-raising thing."
Zhu Licheng nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Great Immortal, collect it quickly."
Fang Yi laughed dumbly and explained again carefully: "It's not an evil thing, it's a real treasure."
"I don't dare to take any treasure." Zhu Licheng had been frightened by the previous horrific scene, so how could he dare to keep something that could "raise ghosts"? He pleaded, "Great Immortal, please be a good person and take that thing quickly. Consider it my begging you."
Xiao Zhang added: "Yes, great immortal, please send the Buddha to the west. Just because Mr. Zhu is pitiful, please collect the evil things for him."
The two never understood how precious the baby was.
Fang Yi was too lazy to explain further, and nodded slightly, "Okay."
The two were overjoyed and immediately asked if they wanted to perform a ritual to exorcise the evil spirits.
Fang Yi was almost amused by them and refused their request to perform a ritual. He just asked Zhu Licheng to find him a shovel.
Zhu Licheng and Xiao Zhang still felt very regretful that they were not able to witness Fang Yi's boundless magical powers again.
Soon, Zhu Licheng found a rusty shovel.
After all, no one has lived here for a long time, so it's normal for the shovel to be rusty.
Come outside, to the garden.
Fang Yi stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the shovel."
Zhu Licheng said quickly: "Master, how can you do this kind of rough work yourself? Tell me where it is and I will dig it."
Xiao Zhang was very clever, "The Great Immortal has the body of an immortal, and Mr. Zhu has the body of a rich man, so I'll do the rough work of digging the soil."
Fang Yi just wanted to dig out the white jade quickly and was too lazy to argue with them. "Okay, thank you, Brother Zhang."
Xiao Zhang took the shovel from Zhu Licheng and started digging the soil in the direction Fang Yi pointed.
A shovel.
Two shovels.
After a minute or two, a small hole was dug out.
Fang Yi suddenly shouted: "Stop!"
Xiao Zhang, who was sweating from digging, stopped immediately and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"
"You can't dig with a shovel, otherwise you might damage the treasure."
Fang Yi said this as he squatted in front of the small pit and poured the power of the golden elixir into his palm.
Seeing that he was about to dig the soil with his bare hands, Zhu Licheng advised him, "I have a small shovel in my room..."
Before he could finish his words, he and Xiao Zhang saw a horrifying scene.
Fang Yi's palm was like a shovel. He stretched out his hand and inserted his entire palm into the soil.
Xiao Zhang: “…”
Zhu Licheng: “…”
You know, Xiao Zhang had to use his legs to push the shovel into the soil.
Fang Yi just casually stretched out his hand and immersed his entire palm into the garden soil.
Is your palm made of iron?
Both of them almost popped their eyes out.
Fang Yi had no idea what the two were thinking.
He inserted his palm into the soil and touched the white jade. He gently pinched it with two fingers and pulled it out, and then the white jade broke out of the soil.
At first, it was covered with mud and nothing could be seen.
But after Fang Yi rinsed it with the garden tap, the coin-sized Bagua Tai Chi-shaped white jade immediately showed an oily luster, emitting a slightly yellowish soft glow in the sun, like solidified fat.
Zhu Licheng exclaimed, "Isn't this mutton-fat white jade?"
Xiao Zhang follows Mr. Chen, the boss of a listed company, all day long, so he naturally has a keen eye. He stared at the white jade thoughtfully, "It's top-grade mutton-fat jade."
Mutton-fat jade?
Fang Yi was stunned for a moment, wondering secretly in his heart, could it be that mutton-fat jade contains magical energy?
Before he finished thinking, Zhu Licheng took off a large square piece of white jade from his neck and said, "Great Immortal, this piece of mutton-fat white jade is bigger than the one in your hand. If you really like mutton-fat white jade, take my square piece."
Fang Yi did not reply immediately, but instead left his body to check.
To his disappointment, although the square piece of mutton-fat white jade in Zhu Licheng's hand was also composed of countless particles, the composition and arrangement of the particles were stable, and it did not release energy continuously like the white jade in his hand.
It seems that not all mutton-fat white jade is so magical.
Maybe there is something unusual about this piece of mutton-fat jade in my hand.
Fang Yi returned his soul to his body, then waved his hand and said, "No, I just want this piece of jade in my hand."
After seeing Fang Yi's magical power, Zhu Licheng wanted to curry favor with him. He said with a smile, "Great Immortal, you don't know that the current market price of mutton-fat white jade is more than 10,000 yuan per gram. The better the texture and the larger the carving, the more valuable it is. The mutton-fat white jade in your hand is of good texture, but it looks a little too small. It weighs at most a dozen grams, and the market price is about 100,000 or 200,000 yuan. My mutton-fat jade square is different. It weighs more than 80 grams. It was auctioned for 2.6 million yuan. If you really like playing with jade, my mutton-fat jade square is definitely suitable."
A square plaque is worth two million six hundred thousand.
No one could resist such a huge temptation.
Zhu Licheng and Xiao Zhang both thought so, and they even thought that Fang Yi would accept it immediately.
But Fang Yi's response was unexpected. He just waved his hand and said, "No need. I am very grateful that Mr. Zhu gave me this piece of white jade dug out of the ground. Now, I will take my leave after finishing my business here."
Zhu Licheng and Xiao Zhang were in awe, they never thought that Fang Yi not only had amazing magical powers, but was also such a noble person. After using all his strength to exorcise the ghost, he actually only asked for a piece of ownerless mutton-fat white jade dug out from the ground. It seemed that he was not even going to take the 500,000 yuan that Zhu Licheng promised him at the beginning. His character was truly noble.
This is a true hermit!
Zhu Licheng would never miss the opportunity to make friends with such a strange person, so he hurried forward and held Fang Yi's hand affectionately, "Master, I've already told you before you come to do this, that you will be rewarded 500,000 after the job is done. If you don't take this reward, I really can't rest in peace."
Fang Yi remained firm and said, "If I didn't have this piece of white jade, I wouldn't refuse your reward, but since I've accepted this piece of white jade from you, I definitely can't accept anything else. I appreciate your kindness."
Zhu Licheng saw that he was in a hurry to leave, and kept winking at Xiao Zhang.
Xiao Zhang also joined the persuasion.
But Fang Yi had a mind of iron and he would not take a penny that he was not entitled to, so he never agreed to take any money.
In the end, seeing that this trick didn't work, Fang Yi insisted on leaving.
Zhu Licheng had no choice but to change the subject: "Master, you have helped me so much. If I don't let you show your appreciation, I will feel guilty. How about this, I will set up a family dinner at home tonight. At least let me treat you to a meal, okay?"
Xiao Zhang helped out, "Master, it's just a meal. Just agree to it because of Mr. Zhu's sincerity."
It was really hard to refuse such a kind invitation, Fang Yi was too embarrassed to refuse again, and nodded and said, "Okay, let's have a meal, then I will be there on time as agreed, but I have something else to do so I'll leave first."
"Okay, okay." Zhu Licheng responded hurriedly.
Xiao Zhang was even smarter and said, "Master, I'll take you there."
This time Fang Yi did not refuse. At the moment, he just wanted to find a quiet place to study the white jade carefully, to find out how magical this thing was, and whether it was really as helpful for cultivation as he guessed.
If so, he felt that his cultivation was about to make great progress!
