When Zhang Shaozhong heard the price, he gasped in shock!
These two broken stones together cost almost 90,000?
This is robbery!
He was about to haggle when Ling Qingxue calmly said, "It's worth it."
Ye Meier crossed her arms and said lazily, "Master, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. Buy it. The things inside are still somewhat useful to you right now."
Seeing that both big shots had spoken, Zhang Shaozhong gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! I'll buy it!"
After swiping his card, Zhang Shaozhong felt his heart bleed as he looked at his savings, which had shrunk dramatically.
Holding the two heavy stones, he muttered to himself, "If we don't find anything good inside, we'll be at a huge loss..."
"Don't worry, you won't lose money."
Night Enchantress said confidently, "Although the energy is a bit less, every little bit helps!"
To verify their results, they went directly to a stone-cutting workshop in the market.
When the stone cutter carefully rubbed open a window on the Moxi Sha rough stone as instructed by Ling Qingxue, a pure and rich bright green color was instantly revealed!
"Prices have gone up! Huge prices! Icy jadeite with a vibrant green hue!"
The stone-cutting master shouted excitedly, immediately attracting a crowd of onlookers.
"Young man, are you selling this material? I'll offer two hundred thousand!"
"I'll offer 250,000!"
Zhang Shaozhong was startled by the scene; he hadn't expected to actually find a treasure!
He subconsciously looked at Ling Qingxue.
Ling Qingxue shook her head and said to Zhang Shaozhong, "The spiritual core is still inside, do not sell."
Zhang Shaozhong immediately understood that the value of this jade lay in the spiritual energy within it, not in how much money it could fetch.
He quickly declined the offers from those around him, and carrying the two pieces of material with windows cut into them, he pulled the two women away from the market amidst the envious and jealous gazes of the crowd.
Back home, after closing the door, Zhang Shaozhong asked impatiently, "Fairy, eldest sister, what do we do now? Should we just absorb the spiritual energy inside?"
Ling Qingxue picked up the piece of icy green jade, her fingertips pulsating with spiritual energy, like the most precise carving knife, and began to carve it on the spot!
With a flurry of stone fragments, in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, she had extracted a jadeite blank the size of a baby's fist, crystal clear and full of vitality, while the remaining jade instantly lost its luster and became dull and ordinary.
"Using this jade blank as the core, a small spirit-gathering array can be set up, which is more effective than a low-grade spirit stone."
Ling Qingxue handed the warm, smooth jade blank to Zhang Shaozhong.
On the other side, Ye Meier was even more direct. She picked up the piece of black jade, released a burst of demonic energy from her palm, and with a "crack," the raw stone shattered, revealing a piece of black jade the size of a pigeon egg, with a deep, dark color and a slight coolness.
She tossed the black jade to Zhang Shaozhong: "Here, try refining the yin energy inside with your chaotic energy. It might change your chaotic energy a bit more."
Holding the two jade stones, each containing a small amount of energy of different attributes, Zhang Shaozhong felt the longing and restlessness emanating from the chaotic energy within his body, his heart filled with anticipation.
This money was well spent!
Looks like I'll have to visit this antique market more often from now on!
