When Yang Qi returned to the villa, Zhao Yixin was sleeping and no one disturbed her. Yang Qi started to meditate and practice. After practicing for a few days, the energy in Yang Qi's body increased a lot, and he was only one step away from becoming a seven-star martial artist.
“This piece of jade doesn’t have much vitality left. I could take this opportunity to break through to the seven-star martial artist level in one fell swoop!” Yang Qi said secretly as he felt the little remaining vitality in the jade.
The Haotian Jue was running in his body, rapidly absorbing the jade's vitality and continuously refining it. The vitality in his sea of qi also began to slowly grow.
This went on until the evening, when the vitality in Yang Qi's body finally reached saturation.
“Break it for me!” Yang Qi shouted in a low voice, and the Yuan Energy in his body surged, directly breaking through the bottleneck of the Seven-Star Martial Apprentice. The next moment, he felt his Qi Sea tremble, and then the Yuan Energy of the surrounding heaven and earth began to converge towards Yang Qi frantically.
“I finally broke through to the Seven-Star Martial Apprentice.” A smile appeared on Yang Qi’s face. After consuming the vital energy in a piece of jade, his cultivation finally reached the Seven-Star Martial Apprentice.
As the energy in his body circulated, Yang Qi could feel the power of that energy.
"Huh? The jade is still there?" Looking at the jade on his body, Yang Qi was slightly stunned, "Is this a fake Yuan Crystal?"
There are real and fake Yuan Crystals. The real Yuan Crystals are formed by the convergence of the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth under the pressure of the Yuan Mai. Once the Yuan Qi is absorbed and refined, the Yuan Crystals will turn into powder. The fake Yuan Crystals have less Yuan Qi and too many impurities. After the Yuan Qi is absorbed, the original carrier will still remain.
To put it simply, the real Yuan Crystal is the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth, while the fake Yuan Crystal is just something that possesses the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth.
“In Tianwu Continent, fake Yuan Crystals are nothing, but on Earth, even fake Yuan Crystals are very precious. As for real Yuan Crystals…” Yang Qi sighed. Having never seen a real Yuan Crystal, and relying solely on the records left by Emperor Haoyang, he was unable to immediately recognize that the jade was just a fake Yuan Crystal.
"But in this case, it's not a bad thing." Looking at the jade in his hand, Yang Qi couldn't help but laugh.
Although the Yuan Qi contained in the pseudo-Yuan crystal is not pure enough, it is many times richer than the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth. The most important thing is that after the pseudo-Yuan crystal is absorbed, jade is left behind, and the value of jade itself is not low.
"Originally I was worried that I would need too much jade for cultivation and that I would not have enough wealth, but now I don't have to worry about that." Yang Qi smiled slightly. The jade could still be preserved. In this way, he would only absorb the vitality in it and would not destroy the value of the jade. In the future, he would not have to worry about consuming jade for cultivation.
"Gurgle~"
Suddenly, Yang Qi's stomach rumbled. After a day of training, he was already extremely hungry.
It was already dark at this time, and Yang Qi hurriedly ate at the snack street behind the school. When he was about to go back, the phone in his pocket rang.
"Qiqi, I've transferred this month's living expenses to you. Check if you have received it. If you have, give me a call." My mother's familiar voice came from the phone.
"Mom, you don't have to send me living expenses. I found a job. I work in a jewelry company and earn eight thousand a month." Yang Qi said quickly.
"What jewelry company? Such a high salary, is it a scam?" I heard my mother's anxious voice through the phone.
"How could that be? They are the largest jewelry company in Qingchuan Province. They are not a scam. Besides, I followed their manager to discuss business before, and the deal happened to be successful, so they hired me." Yang Qi said.
"Is that so?" Hearing this, my mother on the phone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Then I won't send you money next month. Don't be too frugal at school. Spend what you need. Now that you've found a job, it's time to find a girlfriend."
"I understand. Take your time. Don't be in a hurry." Yang Qi said.
He and Luo Rong were dating but he didn't tell his parents. His parents were against him dating when he was studying, but they urged him to date in the past six months when graduation was approaching. He originally planned to settle down with Luo Rong after graduation and bring her home during the Chinese New Year, but he didn't expect that Luo Rong would dump him before graduation.
After chatting for a while, Yang Qi finally ended the call with his family. With several million in his hand, Yang Qi had thought about sending some money home to make his parents less hard-working. But he knew that if he sent money back, his parents would definitely be worried. Just imagine, what would his honest parents think if they suddenly received tens of thousands of dollars
I'm afraid that the two old people will have to come to Qingzhou from home immediately, so Yang Qi didn't send money back immediately, but planned to use the jewelry company's work to make his salary higher, and then talk about gambling on stones to make money. This way, the parents will be more likely to accept it and won't have any wild thoughts. Otherwise, the two old people might be worried if their son who is thousands of miles away suddenly sends them a large sum of money. The saying that a mother worries about her son when he is thousands of miles away is not only a thing in ancient times, but it is even more vivid in modern times when children go to college.
In a blink of an eye, two days passed and the time agreed with Shen Yuxuan to go to eastern Guangdong came quietly.
Yang Qi sold the glutinous jade in his hand to Shen Yuxuan. This piece of jade, which was supposed to disappear, brought Yang Qi an income of 400,000 yuan. Although it was not a lot, it was not a small amount.
Because Ah Biao died and Ah Long was seriously injured, Shen Yuxuan brought two other bodyguards with her to East Guangdong this time, Chen Meng and Zhou Hai, both of whom were no less skilled than Ah Long and Ah Biao. As for her assistant Xu Jiajia, she also followed them all the way. Although the main purpose of this trip to East Guangdong was to let Yang Qi join forces, Shen Yuxuan also wanted to buy some jadeite. Although the Liu family was deeply rooted in Qingchuan Province, it was not so good in East Guangdong. Some large suppliers might be afraid of the Liu family, but those small suppliers who only operated in East Guangdong did not care about the interests of Qingchuan Province at all. In their eyes, money was the most real thing.
"This time we are heading to eastern Guangdong. We have always had cooperation with the Li family there. I heard that the Li family has imported a lot of raw materials this time. The Li family's raw material shop is also our main patronage this time." Shen Yuxuan said on the plane.
"Is the Li family also in the jade business?" Yang Qi asked in a deep voice.
"No, the Li family has a gambling stone master who has some connections with Myanmar. They mainly do the rough material business. After all, rough materials are almost guaranteed to make money. But the jade business is different. If you only rely on selling jade clear materials, you won't make much money at all. So high-end jade is basically dependent on gambling stone masters. After all, it's gambling, there are gains and losses." Shen Yuxuan sighed lightly and continued, "Over the years, I don't know how many jewelry companies, big and small, that deal in jade have risen and closed down."
Gambling on stones is still gambling after all. Even the most skilled gambling stone master dare not say that he will win for sure. Perhaps if he loses a bet, he will lose everything. (To be continued)
