After sending Zheng Hanjiang away, Lu Cheng continued to refine the Dragon Tiger Pill and Jade Bone Pill.
The 800-section dragon bone from last time had not been finished yet. This time he got another dragon bone, which was said to live for a thousand years. He counted it carefully and found that it had exactly 1,000 vertebrae, which was enough for him to refine the Dragon and Tiger Pill many times. The quality of the Dragon Tiger Pill this time is higher than the last time, and the size is slightly larger.
He watched the elixirs condense out one after another, feeling happy and regretful at the same time: "If you take one elixir of this level, your spiritual power will be slowly released, and it will last for at least two or three months. It's a pity that I can't be like Sun Wukong.
Eat the whole gourd of elixir in one go, otherwise you will become a Tianwu Master soon."
On the morning of December 4, Lu Cheng went to the Minghu Jade Workshop, took out a large piece of Daishan jade, and asked his employees to stamp it into round jade pillars. Then he used a gold dagger to cut the jade pillars into two or three millimeters.
Film, this is the "jade coin" popular in other worlds.
The owner of Minghu Jade Workshop, senior craftsman Hao Meiyu, couldn't understand what he was doing.
"Mr. Lu, what does a big shot like you do with these jade pieces?"
Lu Cheng smiled and said: "It works. How is the business of the jade shop recently?"
Mentioning this, Hao Meiyu beamed: "Business is very good. In recent years, the country has tightened the supply of jade materials, and many jade shops are out of stock. Therefore, the price of jade materials continues to increase, faster than the previous two years!
The Jade Factory has the Hetian jade you provide, and the jade products you make occupy the nephrite market in many northern provinces and cities.
Hey, stop it! What’s the point of cutting this low-grade Daishan jade? I’ll show you the account book! It’s the end of the year, let’s take stock!”
Lu Cheng smiled and said: "What kind of account book! No need to look at it! Whatever Sister Hao says is what it is."
"He is really a rich man! He doesn't even bother to take a look at the dividends from the Jade Factory!"
"How much dividends can we get this year?"
"About 14 billion."
"Huh? Why are there so many?"
Hao Meiyu rolled her eyes at him: "Didn't I tell you that the price of jade materials has increased! The original fine mutton fat white jade cost 10,000 yuan per gram, but now it has increased to 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, or even more than 100,000 yuan!"<
/p>
Lu Cheng smiled and said: "Okay, thank you to Sister Hao and all the staff for your hard work."
He also has seven to eight hundred tons of nephrite. If he pushes it out all at once, he won't be able to sell it at a high price. Jade cannot be made into a tool until it is cut into pieces. It must be made into exquisite jade objects through the Minghu Jade Workshop and sold out bit by bit to make a big difference.
Demonstrating the value of beautiful jade.
What's more important is that he knows where to find Kunlun jade like this. There are beautiful jade buried deep in the Nine Heavens of Kunlun and a total of nine mountains! Because the spiritual energy is revived and the spiritual veins are expanding, jade is constantly being generated. If he
If there is a lack of jade, you can dig some back. As long as you don't dig out the spiritual veins in the belly of the broken mountain, it will not affect the geomantic omen.
In the afternoon, Lu Cheng drove to Hero Mountain. There were several jade shops here, including a raw jade shop. He had been here twice and bought some jade materials.
However, this time, what he saw was a bit miserable. The jade stone store had closed!
There is a shop selling Daishan jade that is still open.
Lu Cheng chatted with the shop owner, and the information he got was consistent with what Hao Meiyu said. Because the country has tightened the supply of jade raw materials, the jade dug out of some jade mines has been directly collected into the national treasury, causing small and medium-sized jade shops downstream to close down.
Business can no longer continue, and only some high-end stores are still alive because they have inventory.
The jade materials controlled by the state are mainly Kunlun jade and jadeite. Daishan jade and Dushan jade are not within the scope of control because they have messy colors and are not suitable for carving jade symbols.
He thought of those jade raw stone shops in Yunnan and Guangdong, and guessed that life for those people might not be easy either.
"Alas, things are unpredictable and personnel changes. Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi! In the past few years, the jade business was booming, but it will be miserable in the future."
Return to Qingquan Villa and pass by the door of Guan Sangyue's house.
Lu Cheng saw Guan Sangyue and a energetic old man.
Guan Sangyue stopped him with a smile on her face: "Lu Cheng, please stop for a moment and let me introduce you. This is 'Wang Donghai', the soul of contemporary Tai Chi. He is 80 years old this year.
Teacher Wang is a native of Chenjiagou, one of the first inheritors of Chen-style Tai Chi, a national intangible cultural heritage, and an ambassador for international Tai Chi culture. He is an honorary professor at Zhongzhou Normal University, a part-time teacher at Luoyang Normal University, and the founder of Chenjiagou Martial Arts Academy.
National martial arts senior coach, first-level referee.
Teacher Wang participated in the first national Tai Chi Push Hands Competition in Beijing in 1982 and won first place.
Since 1983, he has gone to France 8 times, Japan 7 times, as well as the United States, Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and other countries to give lectures and teach boxing. He has also founded Tai Chi research and training centers named after him at home and abroad.
Hailed as the "International Tai Chi Champion" by "U.S. News"; accepted as a "Permanent Honorary Citizen" by Osaka City, Japan; admitted as a "Permanent Honorary Citizen" by the City of Badna, France."
Lu Cheng quickly stretched out his hand: "Hello, Teacher Wang. I have admired you for a long time!"
Wang Donghai smiled and said: "Lu Cheng, you are so young and you have won so many Olympic gold medals. It is really amazing!"
"Teacher Wang, you appreciate it."
"I came to Quancheng on business, and I met Xiaoguan by the way. Xiaoguan defeated mma champion Pang Panghai and contributed to the promotion of Tai Chi. I discussed it with Chen Dawang, Zhang Shenggong and other old guys and wanted to ask Xiaoguan to come out and do it.
The director of the Tai Chi Association invited her to Chenjiagou to teach her the art of pressing the bottom of the box."
"This is a good thing! Xiaoguan has a unique skeleton and is a good candidate for martial arts training!"
"Haha, I think your bones are even more amazing. Do you want to come with her? I'll teach you the secret technique of Chen Style Tai Chi."
"Ahem, my daughter is still young and I can't live without her."
Wang Donghai looked at him with a solemn expression and said: "I have seen a short video of your wife beating ten masters. I have to say that she is an amazing chivalrous woman, comparable to the legendary Nie Yinniang and Xue Hongxian. Although I practice martial arts
A lifetime, but she was no match for her at her peak. I really want to know, you or your wife, who has higher skill?"
Lu Cheng said with a "hehe" smile: "I can't do it. I can't compare to my wife."
Guan Sangyue curled her lips: "Just talk nonsense!"
Wang Donghai said: "So, your skill is higher? Can you open my eyes?"
"This... is difficult to handle."
"What are you best at?"
"To tell you the truth, I have brute strength. One punch can weigh 3,000 kilograms. My wife can punch 2,000 kilograms. I can knock down ten of them with one force, so I can easily take down those gangsters."
"Oh, are you born with divine power? Or is it acquired through cultivation?"
"Of course it's acquired through cultivation. I've always told you that there is a kind of Bixi pill in 'Xianshentang'. Taking one pill can increase your strength by 100 kilograms. As long as you eat 30 pills, you will have 3,000 kilograms of strength."
Wang Donghai glared at him and took a deep breath: "Why do I think you are doing something crooked?"
Lu Cheng smiled and said: "It's not a crooked way. People have to eat, right? Only when you are full can you have strength. The same goes for elixirs. Since they are beneficial, why not take them? Ask Xiaoguan, why can he win the battle?
Pang Panghai, has she taken the elixir?"
Guan Sangyue nodded: "I have taken several kinds of elixirs. To be honest, the effects of the elixirs are very miraculous. However, ordinary people cannot afford them. One elixir costs millions!"
Wang Donghai shook his head: "Practice is the foundation, and elixirs are the supplement. You can't put the cart before the horse."
"Mr. Wang, you are a national treasure. I know that 'Xianshentang' is developing a life-prolonging elixir. It may take another ten years to develop it. By then, you can take one and live five more years. What do you say?"
Is the elixir very valuable?"
"Huh? Isn't that an 'elixir of immortality'? How could there be such a pill?"
"If there were such a pill, how much would it be worth?"
"Hmph, if you sell it for 1 billion, someone will buy it!"
"Are you willing to buy it?"
"Me? I don't have that much money."
Lu Cheng smiled slightly, took out a business card, and said, "Mr. Wang, if you take this business card, you can get a discount when shopping at Xianshentang. There is a number on the back of the business card, which is equivalent to a discount code."
Wang Donghai was thinking about the elixir for "prolonging life and longevity", so naturally he was reluctant to throw away his business card.
