Chapter 18: Magical White Jade
Chapter 18 Magical White Jade
The sunlight shines on my body , and a warmth spreads to every part of my body .
Fang Yi was thinking about how to get the white jade from Zhu Licheng .
Of course , you can take it without asking .
But this behavior is like stealing , and he can't do it .
Alternatively , you can use the " ghost " to scare the other party and obtain the magical white jade .
This thought only flashed through Fang Yi's mind . He was kind by nature , so how could he be so dirty ?
After thinking about it , he decided to tell the truth .
" Mr. Zhu . " Fang Yi looked at Zhu Licheng .
Zhu Licheng quickly responded respectfully , saying , " Master , I will present the 500,000 yuan reward to you in a moment . "
" That 's not the case . " Fang Yi waved his hand .
Zhu Licheng asked in confusion : " What 's that ? "
Xiao Zhang also looked at him curiously .
Fang Yi pondered for a moment , then pointed to the garden outside and explained the situation . " The ' ghost ' was previously at the corner of your garden wall , but do n't worry , I 've beaten it to pieces . Normally , after death , the soul returns to the underworld within a short period of time . The reason the ghost can persist is because there 's a treasure buried beneath your garden that nourishes the soul . So , I 'd like to ask if you could dig that treasure out and give it to me . If so , it 'll be my reward . "
Well , there are no ghosts in this world .
The reason why he said this was to make it easy for the two of them to understand .
Fang Yi told the truth and said that there was a treasure hidden underground .
However, Zhu Licheng was shocked when he heard this and stammered , " There 's ... there 's something else in the garden of my house ? "
Xiao Zhang also trembled and said , " Raising a soul ? Is n't that just raising a ghost ? Mr. Zhu , quickly have the immortal take away that evil soul - raising thing . "
Zhu Licheng nodded repeatedly , " Yes , Great Immortal , take it quickly . "
Fang Yi laughed in silence and explained again carefully : " It's not an evil object , it 's a real treasure . "
" I would n't dare take any treasure . " Zhu Licheng had already been terrified by the previous horrific scene , so how could he dare keep anything that could " raise ghosts " ? He pleaded , " Great Immortal , please be kind and take that thing quickly . I 'll take this as my pleas . "
Xiao Zhang added , " Yes , great immortal , please send the Buddha to the west . For Mr. Zhu 's pity , please take away the evil spirit for him . "
The two never understood how precious the baby was .
Fang Yi was too lazy to explain further and nodded slightly , saying , " Okay . "
The two were overjoyed and quickly asked if they wanted to perform a ritual to exorcise the evil spirits .
Fang Yi was almost amused by them and refused their request to perform a ritual . He just asked Zhu Licheng to find him a shovel .
Zhu Licheng and Xiao Zhang still felt very regretful that they were unable to witness Fang Yi's boundless magical powers again .
Soon , Zhu Licheng found a rusty shovel .
After all , no one has lived here for a long time , so it's normal for the shovel to be rusty .
Come outside , to the garden .
Fang Yi stretched out his hand and said , " Give me the shovel . "
Zhu Licheng quickly said , " Master , how can you do this kind of rough work yourself ? Tell me where it is and I 'll dig it up . "
Xiao Zhang was very clever . " The Great Immortal has the body of an immortal , and Mr. Zhu is a wealthy man . I 'll do the rough work of digging . "
Fang Yi just wanted to dig out the white jade quickly and did n't bother to argue with them . " Okay , thank you , Brother Zhang . "
Xiao Zhang took the shovel from Zhu Licheng and started digging the soil in the direction Fang Yi pointed .
A shovel .
Two shovels .
After a minute or two , a small hole was dug out .
Fang Yi suddenly shouted : " Stop ! "
Xiao Zhang , sweating profusely from digging , quickly stopped digging and asked , " Master , what's wrong ? "
" You can't dig with a shovel , or you might damage the treasure . "
Fang Yi said as he squatted in front of the small pit and poured the power of the golden elixir into his palm .
Seeing him trying to dig the dirt with his bare hands , Zhu Licheng advised , " I have a small shovel in my room ... "
Before he could finish his words , he and Xiao Zhang saw a horrifying scene .
Fang Yi's palm was like a shovel . As soon as he stretched out his hand, his entire palm was inserted into the soil .
Xiao Zhang : “ … … ”
Zhu Licheng : " … "
You know, Xiao Zhang had to use his legs to push the shovel into the soil just now .
Fang Yi simply stretched out his hand casually and immersed his entire palm into the garden soil .
Is your palm made of iron ?
Both of them almost popped their eyes out .
Fang Yi had no idea what the two of them were thinking .
He inserted his palm into the soil and touched the white jade . He gently pinched it with two fingers and pulled it out , and then the white jade broke out of the soil .
At first, it was covered with mud and nothing could be seen .
But after Fang Yi rinsed it with the garden tap , the coin - sized Bagua Tai Chi - shaped white jade immediately showed an oily luster , emitting a slightly yellowish soft glow in the sunlight , like solidified fat .
Zhu Licheng exclaimed , " Is n't this mutton-fat white jade ? "
Xiao Zhang follows Mr. Chen , the boss of a listed company , around all day long , so he naturally has a discerning eye . He stares at the white jade thoughtfully , " It's top-grade mutton-fat jade . "
Mutton-fat jade ?
Fang Yi was stunned for a moment , wondering in his heart , could it be that mutton-fat jade contains magical energy ?
Before he could finish his thought , Zhu Licheng took off a large square piece of white jade from his neck and said , " Master , this piece of mutton-fat white jade is bigger than the one you have . If you really like mutton-fat white jade , take this square piece of mine . "
Fang Yi did not reply immediately , but instead left his body to check .
What disappointed him was that although the square piece of mutton-fat white jade in Zhu Licheng's hand was also composed of countless particles , the composition and arrangement of the particles were stable , and it did not release energy continuously like the white jade in his hand .
It seems that not all mutton-fat white jade is so magical .
Perhaps there is something unusual about this piece of mutton -fat jade in my hand .
Fang Yi returned his spirit to his body and waved his hand , saying , " No , I just want this piece of jade in my hand . "
After witnessing Fang Yi's magical powers , Zhu Licheng wanted nothing more than to curry favor with him . He smiled broadly and said , " Great Immortal , you may not know that the current market price of mutton-fat white jade is over 10,000 yuan per gram . The better the quality and the larger the carving , the more valuable it is . The piece of mutton-fat white jade in your hand is fine , but it looks a little too small . It 's probably only a dozen grams at most , and the market price is around 100,000 or 200,000 yuan . My mutton - fat jade square is different . It weighs over 80 grams and fetched 2.6 million yuan at the auction . If you really enjoy jade , this mutton -fat jade square is absolutely suitable . "
A square card is worth two million six hundred thousand .
No one could resist such a huge temptation .
Zhu Licheng and Xiao Zhang both thought so , and they even thought that Fang Yi would accept it immediately .
But Fang Yi 's response was unexpected . He simply waved his hand again and said , " No need for that . I 'm already deeply grateful that Mr. Zhu has given me this piece of white jade he dug out of the ground . Okay , now that I 've finished my business here , I 'll take my leave . "
Zhu Licheng and Xiao Zhang were in awe . They never expected that Fang Yi not only had amazing magical powers , but was also such a noble person . After using great strength to drive away the ghost , he actually only asked for a piece of ownerless mutton-fat white jade dug out from the ground . It seemed that he was not even going to take the 500,000 yuan that Zhu Licheng promised him at the beginning . His character was truly noble .
This is a true hermit !
Zhu Licheng wouldn't miss the chance to make friends with such a remarkable person . He hurried forward and took Fang Yi 's hand affectionately . " Master , before you came to do this for me , I told you I 'd give you a reward of 500,000 yuan . If you do n't take it , I 'll be uneasy . "
Fang Yi remained steadfast and said , " If it were n't for this piece of white jade , I wouldn't refuse your reward . But now that I 've accepted this piece of white jade , I absolutely cannot accept anything else . I appreciate your kindness . "
Zhu Licheng was anxious to see that he was about to leave , so he kept winking at Xiao Zhang .
Xiao Zhang also joined the persuasion .
But Fang Yi had a mind of iron and he would not take a cent that he was not supposed to take , so he never agreed to take the money .
In the end , seeing that this trick did n't work , Fang Yi insisted on leaving .
Zhu Licheng had no choice but to change the subject : " Master , you 've helped me so much . If I do n't show any appreciation , I 'd really be guilty . How about this : I 'll have a family dinner at home tonight . At least let me treat you to a meal , okay ? "
Xiao Zhang patted the table , " Master , it 's just a meal . Just agree to it because of Mr. Zhu 's sincerity . "
It was really hard to refuse such a kind offer , and Fang Yi was too embarrassed to refuse again . He nodded and said , " Okay , let 's have dinner . I 'll be there on time as agreed . I have something to do now , so I 'll leave first . "
" Okay , okay . " Zhu Licheng responded hurriedly .
Xiao Zhang was even more clever and said , " Master , let me take you there . "
This time Fang Yi did not refuse . At this moment , he just wanted to find a quiet place to study the white jade carefully , to find out how magical this thing was and whether it was really helpful in repairing the chain as he guessed .
If so , he felt that his cultivation was about to make great progress !
