After bickering with Lin Xueqi for a while, Zhao Yang took the piece of 'Millennium Wooden Heart' wrapped in clothes back to the room and put it away. Then he took out the 10,000 yuan he had robbed from the Black Tiger gang last time.
The cash and the bank card left by grandpa went out the door.
Now that his cultivation has reached the 'Qi Condensation Stage', he can already set up low-level magic formations such as the 'Spirit Gathering Array'.
The function of the 'Spirit Gathering Array' is to gather the spiritual energy from the surrounding heaven and earth to assist cultivators in their cultivation. At the same time, it can also use the spiritual energy gathered by the formation to warm and nourish the magic weapon.
Today, he unexpectedly got a piece of the thousand-year-old wood heart. Zhao Yang did not intend to refine the essence of the wood to improve his cultivation, but planned to refine it into a magical weapon.
Nowadays, he doesn't even have any of the lowest-level magic weapons. Moreover, considering the current situation of the earth, the material resources that can be used to refine the magic weapons must be very scarce. It is not easy to get them now.
How could Zhao Yang refine a piece of 'Thousand-Year Wood Heart' and waste it in vain?
It's just that Zhao Yang's current cultivation level has reached the 'Qi Condensation Stage', and there is no real fire in his body, so he can only rely on the real Qi to slowly refine this section of the 'Thousand-Year Wood Heart' with water grinding skills, and at the same time use the 'Gathering Spirit'
The formation of warmth and nourishment can greatly speed up Zhao Yang's sacrificial refining.
After leaving the house, Zhao Yang walked directly to the nearby antique market.
There are naturally many people specializing in jade business in the antique market. Last time, Zhao Yang saw several shops specializing in jade.
It takes thirty-six jade tablets two fingers wide to lay out the 'Spirit Gathering Array', and the quality of the jade cannot be too bad, especially every jade stone must be of similar quality, and no single jade stone can be of inferior quality or too high quality.'
The spiritual array pays great attention to the balance of the array. If the jade stones arranged in the array are of uneven quality, it will cause the array to be unstable, the energy to be disordered, the array to collapse, and even worse, a violent explosion will occur.
Therefore, when setting up the formation, the selection of the formation base must be done carefully.
Zhao Yang has been very familiar with formation formations during his more than 500 years of experience in the 'Diyuan Immortal Land', so there is no need to worry about making mistakes in this aspect. Now it is just a matter of whether he can buy suitable jade. It is best to buy it directly.
Go to raw jade for cutting, otherwise it would not be easy to find thirty-six pieces of jade of similar quality and size that meet the requirements.
When he came to the antique market, Zhao Yang walked into a jade shop immediately. The top priority now was to buy the jade needed to decorate the 'Spirit Gathering Array'. As for going to see those antiques, it was purely a matter of luck, or was it?
Let's talk about it after we finish the business.
"Hello, what kind of jade does this handsome guy want to buy?"
When Zhao Yang walked into the store, a female salesperson immediately greeted him.
Zhao Yang looked up at her, glanced at the various jade items placed on the surrounding counters, and couldn't help but said: "Hello, does your store have raw jade for sale? I want to buy some higher quality raw jade.
Then I will ask you to help me cut according to my requirements..."
Zhao Yang immediately explained his purpose of coming.
The female salesperson hesitated for a moment and said, "Please wait a moment and I'll ask our boss for you."
"Well, okay. I'll trouble you then." Zhao Yang nodded.
"You're welcome." The female salesperson responded with a smile, and then went to the back to ask the boss. Zhao Yang was casually looking at the jade items on the counter in the store, waiting quietly.
After a while, a middle-aged man in his forties with a big belly came out following the female salesperson.
"Little brother, do you want to buy raw jade?" The middle-aged man came over and said to Zhao Yang enthusiastically.
Zhao Yang nodded and said: "Yes. If there is suitable raw jade, I would like to buy some and ask you to cut it for me according to my requirements."
When the middle-aged man heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "I don't know how much quantity my little brother plans to buy. You also know that generally we don't sell raw jade directly."
Zhao Yang heard this and nodded understandingly: "I can understand this. However, I do have some requirements for jade, and I can only buy raw jade for cutting."
"I need to cut out a total of thirty-six pieces of jade that are about two fingers wide. I will tell you the specific size if I can find the right jade."
"In addition, I will pay the cutting fee as much as possible."
After hearing Zhao Yang's words, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up slightly. Although selling raw jade directly would definitely not be as profitable as selling finished jade, it was better because Zhao Yang wanted a large quantity of goods.
After thinking for a while, the middle-aged man nodded and said: "Okay, since you want a larger quantity, little brother, I can sell you the raw jade, but the price..."
Zhao Yang said: "I think we should go look at the jade first. If we find the right one, how about we discuss the price in detail?"
"That's fine. Then come with me." The middle-aged man nodded and led Zhao Yang into the back of the store.
Behind is a small courtyard. There are many uncut jade stones on the ground. In addition, there are some equipment used for cutting, polishing and polishing jade. At the moment, several jade masters are busy, or
Cutting or carving or something like that.
"Little brother, basically all my goods are here, look at which piece you need." The middle-aged man pointed to the large pile of jade on the ground and said to Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang immediately squatted down and slowly selected one piece at a time. Zhao Yang could be said to be a master-level figure in his understanding of jade. When he was in the 'Diyuan Xianlu', jade was often used in practice. After hundreds of years,
The accumulated experience and eyesight are far beyond what anyone can compare with. Usually one can tell the quality of a piece of jade at a glance.
What's more, now that Zhao Yang's cultivation has reached the 'Qi Condensation Stage', he can also use Zhenqi to check the overall quality of a piece of jade.
Seeing Zhao Yang squatting on the ground and picking skillfully, the middle-aged man was not in a hurry and waited patiently beside him.
After a while, almost all the jade stones on the ground had passed through Zhao Yang's hands. At this time, Zhao Yang stood up, pointed to the two jade stones at his feet and said, "Just these two pieces. I don't know about these two."
How much does it cost to resell a piece of jade to me?"
The middle-aged man lowered his head and glanced at the two pieces of jade that Zhao Yang had selected. He immediately knew that the young-looking young man in front of him was not the kind of person who could be fooled at will, although these two pieces of jade were not the best for him.
, but it is also one of the few pieces with the highest quality.
After thinking for a while, the middle-aged man stretched out two fingers and said: "One price, two hundred thousand!"
Zhao Yang shook his head slightly when he heard this and said: "Brother, this price is too high, one hundred thousand! I can only bid one hundred thousand for these two pieces of jade."
As the saying goes, ask for a high price and pay back the money. When doing business, bargaining with each other is indispensable.
Immediately, the middle-aged man said again: "Little brother, the two pieces of jade you picked are of high quality. The asking price of two hundred thousand is not high. So, I can't give up a little, one hundred and ninety thousand, you take it."
In addition, I can also waive the cost of cutting it for you."
Zhao Yang still smiled and shook his head. He couldn't come up with 190,000 yuan.
"Brother, this price is still too high. Although the quality of these two pieces of jade is good, it is not that good. I can only pay a price of 110,000 at most. If it is more, I really can't afford it.
