Chapter 12: Yu Fu's Business Was Not Bad

  At dawn, the rising sun shines through the light fog in the forest, refracting a hazy and magnificent glow, making the mountains and forests of Qiyun Mountain beautiful and spectacular, like a fairyland.

  Outside Bailu Town, Wei's house. An old man in a Taoist robe stood silently beside an ancient tree, gazing at the Wei residence, especially the two stone lions in front of the gate.

  These two stone lions, in his eyes, have transformed into real divine lions, with crimson eyes and a majestic aura of yang energy that wards off evil spirits. Not to mention the yin evil energy, even ordinary small ghosts would be melted by their presence.

  The old man in the Taoist robe gradually became solemn, and his eyes showed a mixture of shock and joy.

  "This is the true immortal Taoist magic, the true Xuanmen orthodox method. There's actually still a legacy in the world! I must obtain his immortal technique. Must obtain it." The Daoist robe elder's face was excited and slowly became crazed.

  "Green bricks need 150,000, wood needs 200,000, and the antique furniture in the Taoist temple and the Taoist scriptures that need to be purchased at least 300,000. And other miscellaneous items and construction labor costs... damn it, this little money of mine is completely not enough."

  Jiang Le, who was being secretly remembered by someone behind his back, was also worried about the future location of the sect at this moment.

  He calculated the cost of repairing the Taoist temple based on its needs, and at least one million was needed to restore it to its original state. This price made Jiang Le feel very headache.

  At some point in time, he inherited tens of millions and thought he had become a rich master. Now thinking about it, I feel quite ashamed.

  But if we spend more money, we can't give up either. We've already contracted this land, and if we don't work hard to make it better, the 500,000 will be wasted, and the loss will be even greater.

  "What's the point of having a little fun? What's tens of thousands of dollars? Not enough money?" Her mother, Jiang Hua, walked in with a bowl of walnut and pine nut congee, her voice filled with doubt.

  This is a medicinal congee that she has been making every day since Jiang Le's brain hasn't been working well, which supposedly has the effect of nourishing the brain.

  Jiang Le hastily put away his pen and paper, smiling: "Nothing, just studying."

  The matter of the sect's residence is still not clear with mother for the time being, and it's hard to explain this large sum of money without mentioning the cultivation.

  "Ah, it smells so good! Mom's medicinal congee is something I never get tired of." Jiang Le took the congee and sniffed it, a look of intoxication appearing on his face.

  Jiang Hua glared at his son with a hint of annoyance, this kid only knew how to coax his mom into happiness.

  Then Jiang Hua sat beside Jiang Le, hesitated for a moment and said: "Xiao Le, I've taken over this antique shop for some time now, but the business hasn't been going well. Do you think it's good for me to continue like this?"

  Jiang Le was taken aback and looked at his mother, then thought for a moment and suddenly understood.

  Mother is a petty-minded person, in her mind, she needs to see money every day or know how much she earns every day, only then can she be at ease.

  Like an antique shop that doesn't open for three months and then makes up for it in one month, she felt uneasy.

  "Mom, look at you, your thinking is outdated. Antique shops are like this, usually quiet on ordinary days, but once business picks up, they can earn more than you do in a month." Jiang Le explained.

  Jiang Hua shook his head and said: "I know what you mean, but I've never been in contact with antiques, I'm not clear about their value, and I don't have any experience. I'm afraid that later on, a big mess will happen."

  Jiang Le was silent.

  Mother's consideration is also reasonable.

  I thought the antique business was too simple, things are so fragile, but the value is so high. Maybe my mother was seen through and didn't understand the ins and outs of this line, and someone intentionally bumped into her, fearing that it would scare my mother to death.

  Jiang Le sank into thought for a moment, then suddenly his eyes lit up: "Mom, I think we can change our approach, let's not sell antiques."

  "What are we going to sell?" Jiang Hua asked curiously.

  "Selling ornaments." Jiang Le said seriously.

  Jiang Hua frowned and said: "Selling ornaments on Antique Street, isn't that a bit inappropriate."

  "Mom doesn't have to worry, the accessories I'm going to sell are not ordinary ones. Not only is the price good, but they also have a mysterious effect."

  Jiang Hua showed some interest and asked: "What kind of accessories? Where did you get them from?"

  "Mom, don't ask anymore. Now take the antiques from the antique shop and sell them to either Jinyu Ge or Qizhen Ge next door. These two families have a long-standing relationship with Old Jin, so they definitely won't cheat you. In the next two days, I'll bring you some goods that only I know about, which no one else has. At that time, it will definitely be more promising than selling antiques."

  Although somewhat skeptical of what his son said.

  However, Jiang Hua felt that doing antique business was not his forte, and to avoid big trouble in the future, he agreed with Jiang Le's opinion. If all else fails, selling modern handicrafts would be better than the current situation.

  When his mother left to deal with the antiques, Jiang Le's face also revealed a smile.

  What he said was the source of goods, not others, but himself.

  He was worried about money, but his mother's words suddenly opened up an inspiration for him and found a way to make money.

  Ornaments are naturally hard to sell, but the ornaments that Jiang Le wants to sell are not ordinary ornaments, but jade symbol ornaments.

  Using jade as a medium, carving symbols and forming jade talismans. Such jade talismans have some unusual effects, such as protecting the body, warding off evil spirits, nourishing energy, etc. The value of such jade talismans is absolutely not cheap.

  After all, in such a Dharma-ending era, there are too few cultivators, and this jade symbol with some Dharma instrument effect is absolutely a treasure.

  As soon as he thought of it, Jiang Le put aside the matter of repairing the Qiyun Mountain Sect's residence and went out with a yellow cloth bag.

  To carve a jade pendant, one must first have jade material. It doesn't need to be too good, but it must possess spirituality.

  After walking through the entire antique street, Jiang Le discovered that there were many finished jade products here, but what he wanted was jade material, which was nowhere to be found.

  It wasn't until I asked Jiang Le that I found out if you want to buy jade material, apart from some large companies that make jade products, you can only go to some jade markets.

  A large company that makes jade products has limited leftover jade materials and also has its own uses for them, so the chances of buying are slim and not long-lasting.

  So Jiang Le directly called a car and went to the Jade Market.

  In Qingyang City, there is a small jade trading market where various types of jade are traded, and even a stone gambling company.

  Jiang Le walked around the market and found that although there were many jade stones here, those with spiritual energy were rare. Obviously, they weren't synthesized fake jade stones, but rather useless dead jade.

  After wandering around for a long time, Jiang Le arrived outside the gambling stone field of Yushi Market.

  In the entire jade market, this gambling den is the most bustling place, with hundreds of people coming every day to try their luck. Some have succeeded and made a fortune, while others have squandered their family's wealth and become penniless.

  Jiang Le was originally going to walk past the gambling den when he suddenly heard a commotion coming from inside: "It's rising, it's rising! The color is very red, this is a high-quality red jade!"

  "Huh?"

  Jiang Le's footsteps paused, and he looked over curiously. After a moment of hesitation, he couldn't help but walk in.

  For outsiders, gambling on stones is about luck and intuition, winning brings wealth, losing means scattering it.

  However, Jiang Le was different. He had the Fallen Treasure, which could be activated to detect hidden treasures. Even if they were wrapped in stone, he could sense whether or not spiritual energy existed within.

  As long as there is spiritual energy, the precipice must have spiritual jade.

  It seems like this is a good opportunity to choose jade material.
