As for money, if it weren't for competing with Lin Fan, Qi Zixiao believed that enough was enough.

In comparison, Pseudo Spiritual Stone are much more important.

With enough Pseudo Spiritual Stone, I can help Lin Fan cultivate and become a true cultivator.

At that time, you will be able to do more things.

Moreover...

Actually, she really wanted to try and see how far she could take Lin Fan on this Earth without spiritual energy!

"Eight million, I'll take it."

Just as Qi Zixiao was deep in thought, a portly middle-aged man stepped forward from the crowd. "Young man, your jade looks good, but it doesn't quite reach the level of icy jade. Eight million is a fixed price, and I can transfer the money immediately."

"Isn't this price... a bit too low?"

Another person stepped forward and said with a smile, "Boss Chen, don't take advantage of people's ignorance. Young man, I'm the regional agent for the Jade Pavilion in C City. Nine million, how about we become friends?"

Boss Chen, who was heavily pregnant, frowned slightly. "Nine and a half million."

Before Qi Zixiao could even speak, the business owners who happened to be there had already started bidding.

At that moment, Wang Shan ran back and said, "Wait a minute, Mister Lin, our boss is on his way. Please wait, our boss is also interested in this jade."

"Then let's wait."

Qi Zixiao nodded gently.

How much?

It doesn't matter; what matters is how many ' Pseudo Spiritual Stone ' I can get in exchange.

During the waiting time, Qi Zixiao thought about many things...

For example, should you sell this Pseudo Spiritual Stone, or jadeite, directly for money, or ask to exchange it for a raw stone?

"If we exchange it for raw stones, it might cause some trouble..."

Qi Zixiao lacked worldly experience and social skills, but she was aware of human greed. From a young age, her master in the Holy Land had repeatedly warned her to be wary of human nature...

For example, right now.

If you ask to exchange for a raw stone, and the processing plant can find a few ' Pseudo Spiritual Stone ', even if the owner doesn't know the value of Pseudo Spiritual Stone, he will definitely quote a very high price.

Wouldn't I be the one who gets ripped off?

"Let's just exchange it for cash, then go to a place with clearly marked prices to buy Pseudo Spiritual Stone. Once we've spent all the money, we can open another one..."

"Until you have accumulated enough Pseudo Spiritual Stone to get started."

"Then, it is a process of repeating this process continuously, collecting as many Pseudo Spiritual Stone as possible to prepare for future cultivation."

"But if it's just me alone, or even with that guy included, it's still troublesome and time-consuming..."

Troublesome and time-consuming!

Back then, Wang Mazi's shop was one of the top shops in the area, but even so, he only managed to find five Pseudo Spiritual Stone.

How much travel and how much time would it take to find enough Pseudo Spiritual Stone?

"Could I think of a way to get people from all over the world to deliver Pseudo Spiritual Stone to our doorstep?"

But Qi Zixiao was certain that no one in this world could distinguish Pseudo Spiritual Stone, because there were no cultivators in this world!

Therefore, it's not realistic to have someone deliver Pseudo Spiritual Stone directly to your door.

"In other words, the only option is to spread the word that you're buying high-quality raw stones at high prices, and then select and purchase Pseudo Spiritual Stone from among them..."

"In that case, they will probably raise the price, but if it is within a reasonable range, it is not unacceptable."

"In modern terms, it's like... starting a company?"

This involves Qi Zixiao's blind spots in knowledge.

She knows the concept of a company, but asking her to start one? She has absolutely no idea how!

"Let's sell this Pseudo Spiritual Stone first, then check if there are any Pseudo Spiritual Stone in this processing plant. If there are, we'll take it; if not, we'll talk to that guy and see if he can open a company..."

While I was pondering, the owner of the processing plant arrived.

The elderly man, in his fifties, was in excellent spirits. Upon seeing the jade, he immediately began to praise it highly, "Would you be willing to make a purchase?"

Unlike the previous two, he didn't make an arrogant offer directly. Instead, he asked Qi Zixiao if she was willing to sell.

How much are you offering?

Qi Zixiao had already made her decision, so she naturally wouldn't hesitate.

The boss first carefully examined the jade, then gave Qi Zixiao a deep look before smiling and saying, "Twelve million, let's be friends."

"This price is a bit high."

Old Liu and the person in charge of the Jade Pavilion both shook their heads.

"Is it too high? At worst, I'll just earn a little less. If you don't make an offer, then I'll take it."

The boss chuckled.

The two shook their heads again.

This jade might be worth this price, but even if it's carved, its value probably won't be much higher. In other words, a price higher than 12 million? Even if you buy it, you won't make much profit.

"Give me your card number."

The shop owner held the jade in his arms, looking quite happy.

card number?

Qi Zixiao blinked. "How about a payment app?"

boss. "..."

"What payment app can transfer over ten million?!"

"Do you have any rough stones here? Let me look at some other rough stones first. If I find one I like, you might not have to pay me..."

Qi Zixiao wasn't worried when she learned that the payment app couldn't transfer that much money.

At worst, we can use raw stones to settle the debt, provided there are ' Pseudo Spiritual Stone ' here.

"Of course, a batch just arrived a couple of days ago. Shall I take you to see it?"

The boss was also very discerning; there are plenty of raw stones, but such high-quality ones are rare, or rather, extremely rare.

"What's your name, young man?"

"Lin Fan".

When Qi Zixiao spoke, she naturally couldn't reveal her real name.

"My surname is Zhang, and my given name is Qiang," the shop owner introduced himself with a smile. "Please come with me, I'll take you to see the raw stones."

Seeing this, Old Liu and the others followed.

Business people have the sharpest eyes.

Lin Fan didn't want money, but instead wanted Spirit Stone, which made them all wary.

Besides, Lin Fan had just cut out a piece of material that had increased in value significantly.

"This is our warehouse. All the rough stones that have arrived recently are in here. Feel free to take a look," Zhang Qiang said, holding the jadeite with obvious delight.

As soon as Qi Zixiao entered, she activated her full senses. There was indeed a faint spiritual energy emanating from here, which convinced her that there were Pseudo Spiritual Stone among them.

As for the content...

You have to touch it to know.

But here's the problem: if you touch this thing, doesn't that tell others that those rough stones are expensive enough?

Therefore, Qi Zixiao rolled her eyes, made no move, and instead closed her eyes to carefully sense the location of those ' Pseudo Spiritual Stone '.

But at the same time, she said, "My choice of rough stones mainly depends on whether we are destined to meet."

"If we are destined to meet, it doesn't make much difference whether we see it or not."

Everyone: "???"

What the heck?!

Buying raw stones without even looking at them?!

Although it's hard to discern anything from looking at it, how do you choose without considering the options?!

Just as everyone was stunned, Qi Zixiao spoke up quietly, "This position!"

She raised her hand, pointed in a direction, her eyes still closed. "That one."

"Besides..."

"The third one from this side."

"I want both of them. Name your price."

After saying that, Qi Zixiao opened her eyes.

Zhang Qiang: "..."

He was stunned.

In fact, not only Zhang Qiang, but everyone present was stunned.

What the heck?!

I've never seen anyone select raw stones like this before!

They don't even open their eyes, let alone shine a light or examine it carefully. They just choose with their eyes closed.

"As expected of a capricious tycoon..."

Master Liu couldn't help but mutter to himself.

This is absolutely outrageous! Would someone do something like this if they weren't reckless?!

The agent of the Jade Pavilion was speechless at this moment.

He originally wanted to see how Lin Fan selected the raw stones, or if he thought Lin Fan's selection was good enough, he could even stage a 'ambush' on the way.

But now...

Ambushed and killed on the way?

Rob the ghost, kill him!

This is like a blind person randomly clicking around; how can they possibly pick something good?

If you actually get selected, what incredible luck that would be!

"How much?" Qi Zixiao pressed.

Zhang Qiang had originally planned to ask for a higher price after Qi Zixiao had studied it carefully, but now he didn't know how to start the conversation...

This is a truly 'random choice'!

"Wang Shan, give me a flashlight."

Helpless, Zhang Qiang could only go and see for himself how well Qi Zixiao viewed the two rough stones she had chosen.

But in fact, he had already seen the raw stones when they arrived. There were a few that looked good, but none of them were the ones Qi Zixiao had chosen.

He did this, of course, to confirm it again.

But in the end, not a single patch of green was seen...

Have to!

Most of it is probably nothing good.

The Jade Pavilion agent and ' Old Liu ' shook their heads... completely losing interest.

Zhang Qiang was in a bit of a dilemma.

With this presentation...

Even if it's not small, it's not good to sell it for too high a price.

"How about this?"

Zhang Qiang frowned. "How about I give you two million for these two rough stones? They don't look like much on the surface, but they're both quite large. One million for each, just to make friends..."

What the hell is this "friend" thing?

The agent of the Jade Pavilion slightly pursed his lips.

With this appearance, a million? I'd have to think twice even at five hundred thousand.

But considering its size, the price isn't too high.

"Can."

Qi Zixiao was secretly delighted.

Even if the spiritual energy of these two Pseudo Spiritual Stone is not as good as the one I opened today, the combined spiritual energy is probably about the same.

Most importantly, there are still 10 million left. This 10 million can be used to buy more Pseudo Spiritual Stone. Wouldn't this create a virtuous cycle, allowing you to collect more and more Pseudo Spiritual Stone?

"That's settled then."

Zhang Qiang nodded. "Twelve million for the jade, two million for the rough stone, and I'll give you another ten million. It looks like you forgot your card, but that's okay. We'll give you a bank card and deposit ten million into it."

"Good."

Qi Zixiao agreed.

The handover was completed quickly.

Zhang Qiang smiled and took out a business card, handing it to Qi Zixiao: "This is my business card. If you're interested, feel free to contact me."

Qi Zixiao thought for a moment and left her phone number, "You can contact me when you have new raw stones."

Traveling too far to collect Pseudo Spiritual Stone is a waste of time, but if it's just within the city, it's not a big problem.

"No problem, no problem."

Zhang Qiang smiled and agreed.

Zhang Qiang naturally welcomed this "high-quality customer" who sold two rough stones for two million, stones that even industry insiders might not buy for five hundred thousand.

But for Qi Zixiao...

This was a great deal!
