C24 Aragonite

Half an hour later, Lu Zheng and Lu Xiaotian appeared in the top floor of a five-star hotel. The only difference was that there were a large number of stones of various colors on the ground, while many people were squatting in front of the stone, discussing.

"Stilbene, what is this place? Why are there so many stones? " Lu Zheng asked curiously.

"Heh, this is no ordinary stone. These stones are called raw stones. Do you know what jadeite is? That thing was cut out from these stones!"

Is that so?" Suddenly, a hint of happiness flashed across his eyes and he quickly walked to a piece of black stone about the size of a soccer ball two meters away. The rough surface of the rock was black in color, because he could sense that there was actually a faint earth-attributed Yuan Qi inside the ore.

Even though Lu Zheng had extraordinary talent, his cultivation speed was still slow. According to his current speed, to break through to the 3rd level of the Refinement Realm, he would need at least 3 months. Who knows how long it would take to reach the Aurous Core stage?

Therefore, he had always been looking for a way to speed up his cultivation. He sensed the elemental energy within the ore, and found a way to speed up his cultivation.

"Why Little Zheng, are you interested in playing around?" Lu Xiaotian followed and asked with a smile.

"How do you play this?" Lu Zheng stood up, and had already calmed down.

Lu Xiaotian shrugged his shoulders: "It's easy to buy a piece of ore and cut it open. If you cut the jade, you would earn, but if you didn't, you would lose.

"Greetings, young master Tian." Just then, a middle-aged man wearing glasses walked over, and respectfully saluted Lu Xiaotian.

"It's the Manager Huang!" Lu Xiaotian indifferently shot him a glance, as he casually said.

Towards Lu Xiaotian's carelessness, not only was Manager Huang not unhappy, his attitude had instead become even more passionate, "Young Master Tian, do you want to try your luck? I can give Young Master Tian a twenty percent discount for any ore within a million."

"No need, go back to work!" Lu Xiaotian waved his hand and said impatiently. Although he was a playboy, not everyone was qualified to be taken advantage of by him.

"Alright, if there's anything else in the world, feel free to instruct me!" Manager Huang saluted and left.

Suddenly, Lu Xiaotian's eyes lit up, and his gaze landed on a girl not far away.

"Ah Zheng, you watch over there yourself. I'll go over there first!" Without waiting for Lu Zheng's reply, Lu Xiaotian walked away hastily.

Lu Zheng followed Lu Xiaotian's gaze and looked over, just in time to see a slim figure, and thought to himself, "This guy really has forgotten himself due to lust."

However, he only grumbled a little before turning his attention to the ores on the ground. After all, these ores were related to his cultivation.

Although Lu Zheng was a sixteen year old youngster, he was extremely calm and steady. Even when he felt that the raw stone contained heaven and earth origin energy, he did not immediately buy it.

He walked towards the pile of ores and began to sense the other ores one by one. He was slightly disappointed by this feeling. There were simply too few ores that contained heaven and earth origin energy. A hundred ores only contained three or four pieces of origin energy.

"It rose!" It rose! "

"Haha, that's great!"

Suddenly, an excited shout attracted Lu Zheng's attention. He looked up and found that the voice came from another region.

The hall was divided into three parts: the raw stone area, the stone area, and rest.

After the voice sounded, the surrounding people quickly walked to the area.

Lu Zheng's heart stirred as he followed her.

After squeezed into the crowd with much difficulty, Lu Zheng discovered that in the middle of the crowd, a middle-aged man whose face was beaming with joy was carefully cleaning a brownstone the size of a basketball in front of the cutting machine.

Under his scrubbing, the thumb-sized green surface was revealed. The color of the green surface was very thick, and it gave off a feeling of dripping water.

"The color is so thick, there's a high chance that it's glass!" A spectating middle-aged man exclaimed in envy.

"Glass? What is glass? " Lu Zheng, who had come in contact with the ore for the first time, could not help but mutter to himself out of curiosity.

Standing next to him was a man in his early thirties who appeared to be extremely rich. Upon hearing his words, he said in a boastful tone, "The glass jadeite is as clear as glass, and the quality is extremely fine. The fine crystal is very dense, and it is the best amongst the jadeite.

Hearing the stout man's words, Lu Zheng indeed discovered that the green mask had a faint glow about it. Subconsciously, he felt the ore and felt an extremely dense amount of Spirit Qi.

"With the origin energy contained within this ore, if I can absorb it, I can at least obtain 500 drops of true essence!"

For a moment, Lu Zheng was extremely tempted. If the price was right, he would not mind buying this ore.

"I'm willing to pay 2 million to buy this ore!"

The crowd parted, and under the lead of two bodyguards in black, a handsome youth in a black Armani suit with a proud expression walked out.

When the muscular man appeared, everyone started to discuss in a low voice. Lu Zheng heard the stout man beside him mutter, this man was from the Jewelry Family of the Mainland, the second young master of the Ye Family, Ye Jintian.

When Zhou Fu Sheng heard that Ye Jintian was willing to buy his ore for 2 million, his eyes flashed with strong emotions. After all, he only spent 200 thousand on this ore, and now, he could earn 19.8 million with a switch of his hand, it was simply too worth it. However, he did not agree right away, he wanted to see if anyone would offer a higher price.

"I am willing to pay 22 million."

A beautiful woman with fair skin, tall stature, and a refined aura walked towards him. Her Mandarin wasn't standard, but she had a faint accent. Beside her was a young man with infatuated eyes. Who else could it be other than Lu Xiaotian?

"Hehe, there's going to be a good show!" The stout man laughed in a low voice.

"Why?" Lu Zheng asked.

"This woman is called Gao Yalan, she is the second lady of Tai He Jewelry Group in Hong Kong. It is said that Tai He Jewelry Group wants to open a market in the Mainland, and Ye Jintian is a descendant of the Jewelry Family in the Mainland."

Although the stout man did not clarify, Lu Zheng understood what he meant.

As expected, when Ye Jintian saw that the person who came was Gao Yalan, his handsome face went cold and he shouted out the "25 million" price without hesitation.

Gao Yalan was also not to be outdone, perhaps he intentionally brought the fame of Tai He Jewelry up to a price of "35 million" in one go.

Lu Zheng, who was initially interested in this ore, instantly became discouraged. He only had 35 million in his net worth, it was obviously unrealistic to want to compete with this couple for the ore.

"Gao Yalan, you are deliberately going against me, right?" The tall youth looked at the woman with a cold gaze.

, since you can't afford to play, then don't play! Gao Yalan said in a mocking tone.

Seeing the man and woman bidding, Zhou Fusheng, the owner of the ore, was the happiest. He wished that the two of them could raise the bid to one hundred million.

"Good!" I bid 4 million! " Ye Jintian said in a heavy voice.

"41 million!" Gao Yalan shouted indifferently.

At this moment, Lu Xiaotian, who had been obsessively staring at Gao Yalan, woke up and spoke in an attentive manner: "Miss Gao, do you want me to help you take this ore? I, Lu Xiaotian, do have some face in the capital city's territory."

Gao Yalan did not have the intention to accept his hospitality, and indifferently said: "I appreciate Young Master Lu's good intentions, so I don't need to trouble you with such a small matter."

After touching on a soft nail, Lu Xiaotian did not seem to mind at all. He said: "Alright, if Miss Gao needs anything, please do not hesitate to mention it.

"Then, I'll have to thank Young Master Lu!" Gao Yalan said indifferently. She was a businesswoman, and the person she looked down upon the most was a good-for-nothing like Lu Xiaotian.

"5 million!" Ye Jintian's voice sounded, carrying a trace of ruthlessness.

"51 million!" Gao Yalan remained calm as he bid.

"55 million!" Ye Jintian gritted his teeth. As he saw it, the price had already far surpassed the true value of the raw stone, but he was unwilling to lose to Gao Yalan in terms of aura.

"Since Second Young Master Ye is so imposing, I shall let you have it!" Gao Yalan said with a smile.

Seeing the playful smile on Gao Yalan's face, how could Ye Jintian not understand that he had been tricked. He took a deep breath and said coldly: "Taihe Jewel is only so-so!"

Gao Yalan ridiculed, "Really? Although we, Taihe Jewelry, do not lack money, we would not waste it like this. In my opinion, even if this ore was cut out from the glass, its value would not exceed 30 million. "

Hearing this, Ye Jintian's chest grew heavy, and he could not help but glare fiercely at Gao Yalan. Then, he took out his cheque book, wrote down a line of numbers, and passed it to Zhou Fusheng.

Taking the cheque, and looking at the astronomical figure on it, Zhou Fusheng's face almost broke out in laughter. He excitedly bowed to Ye Jintian and said, "Thank you, Young Master Ye! Thank you! This ore is yours! "

"Continue to open the stone!" Ye Jintian said in anger.

Although she was only twenty-five years old, she was an expert in stone gambling. It was precisely because of this that the family sent her to the mainland to open up a new market, and based on her experience, even if the ore Ye Jintian bought was glass, it was definitely not big, and its true value should not exceed ten million.

As expected, after wiping a few faces consecutively, all of them were ashen white. Ye Jintian's expression became even more unsightly, and shouted in a low voice: "No need to rub, just cut from the middle!"

"Sizzle sizzle!"

With a splash of powder, the small piece of ore was cut in half from the middle. However, it was still ashen white in color. This piece of ore was not big to begin with, so the possibility of it collapsing was great.

This time, Ye Jintian's face was so ugly that water almost flowed out.

"Cut it in the middle!" Ye Jintian's eyes were filled with irritation.

The two pieces of ore were sliced into four pieces, the cut surface was still a grayish white, and the cut off four pieces of ore was only slightly bigger than a fist. Ye Jintian did not hold any more expectations, and pointed helplessly at the piece of ore that was revealed: "Release this piece."

Under his command, the small piece of ore was broken open. What made Ye Jintian furious was that the jadeite was actually only as big as his thumb, and could at most forge a ring, although it was also made of glass, it was definitely worth no more than 1 million.

The 55 million that was bought instantly became a million, even if the Ye Family was rich, Ye Jintian found it hard to accept.

Feeling all sorts of gazes from the surroundings, he almost wanted to find a hole and hide in it, so he could not stay there any longer.

"Let's go!"

"Mister, please wait!" Suddenly, a voice called out to him.

Ye Jintian turned to look at the source of the voice. It was a rather handsome youth. He impatiently asked, "What business do you have with me?"

The youth who stopped him was naturally Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng looked at the three small pieces of ore on the ground that he had not cut open and asked: "Sir, are these three ores for sale?"

Ye Jintian stared blankly for a moment, before replying unhappily, "I'll give them all to you if you want to!"

"That won't do. If I cut out the jade, who should I be, just name a price!" The youth said very seriously.

Seeing the serious look on the youth's face, Ye Jintian felt extremely speechless. "Fine, if you want it, I'll sell it to you for a thousand!"

"Alright then!" The young man immediately agreed, took out one thousand pieces of primeval stones and stuffed it in front of Ye Jintian. After that, he walked in front of the three little primeval stones and said to his master, "I'll have to trouble you to open these three primeval stones for me."

"Alright!" The stonecutter happily agreed. In his heart, he felt that the youth's thousand dollars was wasted. With his many years of experience in stonecutter, these three pieces of trash couldn't possibly contain jade.

"Ah Zheng, don't tell me you want to pick it up?" Lu Xiaotian walked over, and patted the youth's shoulder as he spoke.

That's right, the youth who bought the three pieces of trash from Ye Jintian was Lu Zheng.

"I'll try my luck!" Lu Zheng smiled at Lu Xiaotian, and his gaze landed on the cutting machine.

"Sizzle sizzle!"

As the rock powder flew in all directions, a green light suddenly flashed on the surface of the ore.

"Hey!"

Ye Jintian, who had already taken two steps forward, suddenly turned his head back.

"It rose!"
