President’s Exclusive Alchemist

Chapter 23: Betting on rocks

Speaking of jade formations, Ming Wuxiang's first thought was not those emeralds, but white jade, such as Hetian jade and Qinghai white jade.

Because in the world of cultivating immortals, there is no jade, only jade, that is, spirit stone, and no water species are mentioned. In the time of cultivating immortality, only the amount of spiritual energy contained in jade, that is, spirit stone, is important.

Thinking of the current price of jade, Ming Wuxiang silently touched his wallet, thinking that he had become a rich man, but now he realized that he was still a poor man.

"Perhaps I should go and see if jade can replace jade for array formation." This is not the era when jade prices soared ten years later.

When working, Ming Wuxiang heard female colleagues talk about the price of jade from time to time, and the price was simply staggering. Before he thought the price of diamonds was high enough, and finally found that emeralds were not too diverse.

Of course, Ming Wuxiang does not want to buy those jade that has been cut, but like to try a plot that often appears in novels-gambling on stones.

Ten years later, the price of jadeite remained high, and at the same time it gave rise to the gambling industry. Among the various online novels that became popular a few years later, the story of gambling on the stone became a must-have plot in a certain type of urban literature. In addition, there was just such an opportunity this time, and Ming Wuxiang felt that his hands were starting to itch.

"I don't know if Divine Sense can scan the stone for emeralds. The novel is written like this, but the reality is not necessarily so, and if it can be scanned, the monks in this world will definitely not be so calm."

Every time I see how the protagonist in the novel pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, he sells a top-quality jade at the lowest price, and then looks at all the cannon fodder who despise the protagonist.

This kind of plot looks very cool. Ming Wuxiang doesn't know if he has the protagonist's halo on his head, but you can still try it. If it doesn't work, you can only buy a good naked stone.

Of course, the premise is that the jade contains spiritual power, or everything is empty talk.

The money his grandfather left for him, Ming Wuxiang still didn't want to use it, so all he could use was the money left over after selling the century-old wild ginseng. In addition, some funds were left for operation. In the end, Ming Wuxiang only used 1.5 million yuan to buy stones.

It sounds arrogant to spend 1.5 million to buy stones, but if you buy jade and jade, 1.5 million is really not that much.

The formation must be completed as soon as possible, so buying jade cannot be delayed.

Ming Wuxiang suddenly felt that he had been so busy these few days of vacation. Two days ago, I ran to the Wolong Mountains and brought back a century-old wild ginseng and Mr. Gu. On the third day, I was selling ginseng and buying medicinal seedlings. On the fourth day, tomorrow I had to go to the mountain city next to the flower market. Gambling on rocks.

Fortunately, Luoye Village takes only two hours to drive to the mountain market, which is almost the same as going to the flower market. Otherwise, the trip back and forth is really terrible. Fortunately, he is a monk now, so he can run around like this.

There is no bus from Luoye Village to Shanshi, but he can ask Li Jiahua if he can take a ride to Shanshi. He remembers that Li Jiahua's cousin cooperates with Shanshi supermarkets. That Uncle Li Tang cooperated with a supermarket in Shan City to deliver a batch of fresh vegetables to the supermarket warehouse before 9:30 every morning.

There should be no problem with the car, that is... Thinking of this, Ming Wuxiang moved his eyes to the direction of the guest room. The spiritual consciousness was released, and soon saw Gu Tang had changed clothes and sat on the bed in the guest room.

Ming Wuxiang paused when he saw the scene returned by the divine sense, then got up from the bed as if nothing had happened, left the room and walked to the guest room.

After coming out of the washroom, Gu Tang used a new phone to contact his home, telling the family that this was the number he used now, and still told the family not to investigate where he is now. This is also to protect him, who knows whether the spies who were planted in Yanhuang Kingdom were all arrested.

If not, after learning that Gu Tang had escaped, they would definitely monitor the movements of Gu Tang's family and find out where Gu Tang was based on clues.

Gu Mingwei also thought of this reason, and did not insist on asking where Gu Tang is now. Although he was worried about his son's situation, Gu Mingwei believed in his son even more.

The same is true for Gu Fengmao, the current patron of the Gu family. The old man in the Tang family received a call from his second son saying that there was news about Gu Tang’s child. He hurried back. Although he missed Gu Tang’s call, he saw that his son and his wife paid back. With the appearance of other people in the family, the heart that has been holding it finally settled.

The Gu family, who knew that Gu Tang had news, had a short meeting and decided together not to spread the news of Gu Tang. As for Gu Tang, he didn't take the initiative to speak, so they didn't act on their side, and everything focused on Gu Tang's safety.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with Gu Tang's arrangement. Even the Gu family don't know where Gu Tang is. Those who are hiding in the dark are even more unlikely to investigate.

Especially on the second day, Gu Mingwei received a call from Gu Tang, saying that the man who had saved him had begun to treat his legs. Gu Mingwei, his father, was very excited after hearing this good news. It took a long time before he stopped asking for more detailed information. In the end, he just told Gu Tang at the end of the call that if he encountered something that he couldn't cope with, he must inform his family.

Although Gu Tang understood that if even Ming Wuxiang, a monk with extraordinary powers, could not cope with the situation, the family might not be able to help, but he finally accepted it, so that his father and the others could feel at ease.

Soon after Gu Tang put away his mobile phone, he heard the door of the room be knocked, and he would be looking for him during this time period. Only Ming Wuxiang was the only one.

I don't know what is wrong with Ming Wuxiang, Gu Tang did not delay, and asked Ming Wuxiang to come in.

Seeing Ming Wuxiang, Gu Tang's expression softened a bit, and said softly, "Something is wrong?"

Ming Wuxiang touched his nose and nodded, "Yeah." Seeing Ming Wuxiang nodding, Gu Tang became more curious and motioned Ming Wuxiang to sit down and say, "Sit down and speak slowly."

Ming Wuxiang didn't be polite with Gu Tang, pulled the stool in the guest room, took off to sit down by the bed, and then asked, "Gu Tang, do you understand jade?"

Yes, Ming Wuxiang wanted to ask Gu Tang about jade. Ming Wuxiang has been strictly counted for three lifetimes, and he really doesn't know anything about jadeites. I can know what kind of glass is imperial green, what cracks and what locks, these are all seen from the novel.

It's okay for the divine sense to be able to see whether there is jade in the stone. If he can't, he uses the one and a half million to bet on the stone, doubting that he can even see a splash.

As for why he would ask Gu Tang, in the minds of the unidentified citizens, he always thinks that a wealthy young master like Gu Tang must have played or played rock gambling, so I don’t ask him who to ask.

Gu Tang didn't know why Ming Wuxiang suddenly asked him this question. Although he had been abroad for the past three years, Gu Tang still had an understanding of the jade industry before going abroad. Because the third aunt's family is a jewelry company, the previous focus was on gold and jade ornaments. When jade began to be loved by the aristocracy, half of the resources were allocated to jade.

There is no need for Gu Tang to deliberately understand, under the whisper, he also has a certain understanding of jade.

Seeing Gu Tang nodding, Ming Wuxiang continued to ask: "What about betting on rocks, do you understand?"

Seeing Ming Wuxiang's brighter eyes, Gu Tang couldn't help but smile, and humbly replied: "Understand a little, not comparable to those professional stone gamblers."

A little understanding of these two words is very meaningful, Ming Wuxiang glanced at Gu Tang with a smile, how can you not tell that Gu is always humble. Since the other party knows how to bet on rocks, Ming Wuxiang will definitely not let him go.

Without waiting for Gu Tang’s inquiry, he immediately told Gu Tang about the arrangements for tomorrow, “I want to buy some jadeite, preferably a loose stone, but you know, the price of jadeite is not low now, so, cough, if possible, I would like to Go to Shanshi to try gambling on rocks."

Ming Wuxiang doesn't mind letting Gu Tang know that he is short of money. Gu Tang will not tell Ming Wuxiang how much you lack and I will give you, although such behavior is very domineering president.

Gu Tang will not forget the unrecognized life-saving grace, but the way of repaying it will not be in terms of money, especially when the other party has not spoken. If you give money, you will feel like using money to offset the kindness. Therefore, Gu Tang's repayment is more suitable.

"Tomorrow, I will accompany you." There is no need to open an invitation, Gu Tang's tone of words is in it.

Ming Wuxiang is a monk, very powerful. However, Gu Tang did not forget that Ming Wuxiang had just grown up, and the gambling street in Shancheng was mixed with fish and dragons. It was not a place where Ming Wuxiang would go casually.

Fortunately, Ming Wuxiang didn’t know Gu Tang’s thoughts, or else he didn’t know how to complain. Not to mention that he had lived for 28 years before, and he had been in the world of cultivating immortals for almost a hundred years. Together, he became Gu Tang’s grandfather. No problem.

It’s just that during those years in the world of cultivating immortals, Ming Wuxiang seldom had contact with outsiders at the beginning. Except for buying and selling Lingzhi and pill, most of the time he was alone in the barren mountains and old forests, and he succeeded in forming the pill and becoming The monks in the Golden Core Stage had a certain ability to protect themselves before they went out to get in touch with more monks.

Because if you want to continue to make breakthroughs, in addition to the resources of pill, you need to go through various experiences. It was because of contact with outsiders that some old foxes in the world of immortality guessed that Ming Wuxiang, the Mizuki-inspired casual cultivator, must have a powerful inheritance.

Otherwise, a kid who doesn't have a teacher or a teacher to support him, it is impossible to break the pill and become a baby in less than a hundred years.

It is not acceptable to accompany Ming Wuxiang to Gambling Stone Street in Shanshi. It is just that Gu Tang looked at his legs, and his unhealthy condition made Gu Tang frowned. He noticed that there was Ming Wuxiang in Gu Tang's vision and immediately explained. In one sentence, "You don't need to say that I am going to let you go with me. To be honest, I really don't understand those emeralds."

"Tomorrow morning we can ride Li Jiahua's cousin's car out. Although that car is used to transport goods, it's okay to ride in." The car of Li Jiatang's cousin was a four-seater car. A jeep with cargo.

It’s okay to go out. They can take a taxi directly when they come back, but Ming Wuxiang thought of another thing, "By the way, we go out tomorrow. There shouldn’t be many people who recognize you?"

Ming Wuxiang didn't want to meet someone who knew Gu Tang on the gambling stone street tomorrow. He really didn't want Gu Tang to be recognized before Gu Tang's legs could not be completely cured.

If it wasn't for Gu Tang's help this time, he didn't want Gu Tang to go out.

Knowing what Ming Wuxiang was worried about, Gu Tang comforted: "Don't worry, I have been in a foreign country for the past three years. I only came back in March this year." After returning, all the time was spent on the health-preserving farm that cooperated with the Mu family. I am young, and I don't have much contact with outsiders.

Ming Wuxiang nodded his head, saying that he knew, taking care of Tang said that they shouldn't bump into an acquaintance in Shanshi tomorrow.

Discuss with Gu Tang about the time to go out tomorrow. Ming Wuxiang will stop disturbing him to rest. Today, after drinking the body-conditioning medicine, Gu Tang's spirit has improved, but when it is time to rest, he still needs to rest.

We said goodnight to Gu Tang. After Ming Wuxiang returned to the room, he checked the time. It was still early. The boy Li Jiahua would definitely be a night owl during the holiday. Not to mention that the time now is just after nine o'clock.

After receiving a call from Ming Wuxiang, let him ask his cousin if he could take a car to Shanshi tomorrow morning. With Li Jiahua's curiosity, he would definitely not miss Ming Wuxiang what to do in Shanshi tomorrow. So when I heard that Ming Wuxiang wanted to go to gambling on Stone Street, he immediately jumped up from the sofa.

Just like a repeater, he kept yelling to the phone: "I want to go, I want to go too, Master Dao, you can't abandon me, brother."

"...Why do you listen to me like a guilty man?" Ming Wuxiang could only roll his eyes to Li Jiahua's reaction. "

Li Jiahua doesn't have much, and he doesn't have much. He wants to go together.

"Okay, there shouldn't be any problems with my cousin. I'll give you news later."

"Thanks."

"You are welcome, waiting for the good news from brother."

Putting the phone aside, Ming Wuxiang lay on the bed, and took an A4 paper-sized sketchbook on the coffee table next to it, not to draw a picture, but to calculate the orientation of the array based on the topographic trend of the mountain behind the yard.
