Return From the Immortal Realm - C140

As if they had just discussed a very ordinary matter, Zheng Qianqiu looked at Wei Fan complacently, and the only obstruction that he had was removed. The rest was up to Wei Fan, he had seen Wei Fan’s sharp eyes on the Public Plate before.

Mardan’s family had been collecting jade for generations, and he himself was also one of the permanent members of the Hetian jade association. The old man also enjoyed showing his treasures to his guests.

It was rare for someone of his age to walk with a strong and imposing manner. Lao Tang could not help but ask, “Old Gramps, how old are you?”

He had just guessed at the Lao Tang, now it was her turn to guess. Mardan stroked her white beard and asked: “How old do you think I am?”

Now that he thought about it, since Zheng Qianqiu was ranked amongst his grandchildren, Mardan naturally couldn’t be young. Lao Tang estimated, “I see that you are at least in your seventies.”

Hearing the Lao Tang’s words, Mardan laughed happily: “Not bad, I, this old man, have taken good care of you, you guessed wrong.”

“Then how old are you?”

“It’s over 80 RMB!” Mardan reported her true age.

In Mardan’s opinion, the reason he could appear so young was because she had been in contact with jade all year round. As the saying goes, people nurture jade, jade nurtures jade. Those precious jades that could communicate with spirits also had other miraculous uses.

Not only Zheng Qianqiu and Lao Tang, even Wei Fan agreed with what Mardan had said. This beautiful jade contained spirit energy, so wearing it for a long time was naturally beneficial to the human body.

Seeing that so many people agreed with his view, Old Mardan was in a good mood, so he pushed open the iron door of the warehouse, and in there was Mardan’s Hetian Jade Collection Vault.

Once the door to the warehouse was opened, everyone’s attention was attracted by a huge white jade.

Zheng Qianqiu and Lao Tang walked forward quickly, stroking the extremely warm surface of the jade that was not yet carved, he gave a thumbs up and said: “Good jade, good jade!”

Wei Fan couldn’t tell what kind of quality this jade had, but he could feel the purity of the spirit energy contained within it. Its purity was very high, similar to that of ordinary glass jadeite spirit stones.

Patting the piece of Hetian jade that was more than a ton heavy, Zheng Qianqiu asked with reddened eyes: “Grandfather Mardan, this is the Hetian jade king?”

There were a lot of jewels in the world, and each of them had their own king. The requirement was not only to have a large volume, but also to be of high quality.

This piece of Hetian Jade King was the largest piece of Hetian Jade that he had found so far, and its quality was also high. This piece of jade was discovered at the end of the last century. When the jewelry businessmen from the mainland heard the news, they would come to find the person who found it with a huge sum of money and buy it. The discoverer spread out his hands and said that he had sold the jade long ago. The person who sold it to, and how much, didn’t reveal a single detail about it.

He never thought that this King’s Stone would be taken away by Mardan. Thinking about it carefully, Mardan was also the most likely person to own this Hetian jade. Without his permission, the Hetian jade in the mountain was not allowed to be transported out.

Mardan liked to see the looks of jealousy and envy from the audience as she took out the treasure. However, he still had to remind her what to tell her.

He lovingly caressed this piece of jade and said, “I’m only letting you know the attitude of you youngsters toward me. If it’s outside, don’t carelessly advertise it.”

A man’s wealth was her ruin, Mardan only had power in the nearby regions. If there really were those who held great power and were interested in the Jade King, Mardan would not be able to resist them.

Wei Fan and the other two were not people who liked to advertise, so they would definitely not speak carelessly.

Other than the Jade King, Mardan’s other collections were also of high quality. Wei Fan was sure that if he could let himself stay in the warehouse for a few days, the Cultivation Level could guarantee that he would be able to break through immediately. But he was not as familiar with Mardan as the Lao Tang, so he was definitely unwilling to accept this request.

The four of them were enjoying themselves in the warehouse! Suddenly, a voice rang out from the door.

“Grandfather, they came back from the mountains with a lot of jade.”

So it was the child. Without Mardan’s permission, even his own grandson was not allowed to easily enter the warehouse. Mardan still wanted to show off to Wei Fan and the others! But since he was here, he could only apologise and bring Wei Fan and the others out, locking the big iron door.

The originally spacious courtyard suddenly became crowded. In the middle of the crowd were a few large cards and dozens of jade pickers.

Seeing that Mardan had arrived, everyone automatically opened up a path, and Wei Fan and the rest followed closely behind the old man as they squeezed their way in.

When the group of jade pickers saw Mardan, they all smiled and took out the jade they thought was the best, allowing him to help them appraise it.

This group of people’s harvest was not bad, taking out their things made Mardan nod her head repeatedly.

After giving them an estimate of the price, Mardan smiled and said, “Leave your things here for a few days, the purchase price will rise in a few days.”

Outside Mardan’s house, there were many buyers who had rushed over from all over the country to guard the courtyard. These jade pickers would usually purchase the jade and trade directly with them.

In the previous few years, the price of the Hetian jade had dropped many times. Although it did not fall any more in the recent few years, it did not show any signs of increasing either! Although Mardan had a lot of prestige in the hearts of the crowd, but everyone was a little suspicious about him raising the price.

Mardan did not care about the chattering around him, she smiled and turned to look at Zheng Qianqiu.

Zheng Qianqiu knew that it was time for him to express his feelings. He walked over to Mardan’s side and pressed on it a few times, signalling for him to quiet down. Everyone looked at the person standing next to Mardan who was an outsider. They were sizing him up with curious gazes.

Breathing his Qi deep into his dantian, Zheng Qianqiu tried his best to announce with his loudest voice: “Our Four Seas Jewels will increase the price of all the quality Hetian jade by twenty percent.”

It suddenly increased by 20%. This 20% increase was not a small amount of income. This little bit of money from the jade pickers was hard to come by. There was nothing that could make them happier than to earn a little more money.

Four Seas Jewelry’s purchasing platform was still being constructed, so Zheng Qianqiu asked everyone to wait a few more days.

Even though he said that, everyone was still a little doubtful. Everyone had heard of the Four Seas Jewelry, but who was this man?

Mardan patted Zheng Qianqiu’s shoulders and introduced him to the others: “This is the young master of Four Seas Jewel, if you do not believe him, you should believe me! He will be our friend from now on. ”

Seeing that Mardan had given her guarantee, no one doubted him anymore. The outspoken men all walked forward and hugged Zheng Qianqiu.

This group of jade pickers had gotten their harvest and returned home. A new batch of jade pickers were ready, and were about to take a bus back to the mountains.

Mardan stood beside Wei Fan and the others, looked at the youths who were busy getting on the cars and said: “Since you all want to enter this circle, then follow me and see how we harvest the jade! Of course, their method of collecting jade was not to open mines, but rather to bend over in the rivers or in the mountains, turning stones one by one. Are you interested? ”

Everyone was prepared to learn more about Jadeite, so they all started their cars and followed behind the trucks.
