Return From the Immortal Realm - C141

Although that large truck looked clumsy, if one were to use it on an earthen road, it would be incomparably easy to turn over a barrier due to its high chassis and powerful motivation. The driver also ran down this road all year round, so gradually, he left Wei Fan and the other two behind.

All of them squeezed into Wei Fan’s car, with at least a companion to talk to. In this kind of wasteland, the Lao Tang was not afraid of any accidents happening while sitting on Wei Fan’s car.

Lao Tang had been to the Jadeite Mine before and knew how to pluck jadeite, but he felt that it was very mysterious to be able to find Hetian jades from the ground just by relying on his eyes.

Zheng Qianqiu smiled and helped him explain: “Only the vicinity of Sky Mountain can do this, this is related to the geographical location of Sky Mountain. The water washed away the rocks on the surface of the river and the Hetian jade that was formed countless years ago was brought into the river. This kind of collecting method is more suitable for jade people who do not have much money. For example, Mardan would directly have a few top grade jade mines in her possession, it is much more reliable than picking up stones. ”

The three of them came today to gain some experience.

After two hours of shaking, the truck finally stopped.

When Wei Fan and the others got off the car, they had already reached the foot of the Heaven Mountain. Lao Tang seemed to recall a martial arts novel he had read before, and he said: “Seven Swords to Heaven Mountain.”

In fact, Zheng Qianqiu had the same thought too. The two of them immediately found their soulmate.

Before they came, Mardan had everyone take care of Wei Fan and the others. Without Mardan saying, everyone knew that Zheng Qianqiu was trying to increase the price. If something happened to him, he didn’t know if the Four Seas Jewels would keep their promise. Therefore, Zheng Qianqiu and the others enjoyed the most solemn treatment.

This group of jade pickers came for a week or two at a time, or a month or two at the longest. Although the conditions were difficult, everyone wanted to pick more good jade.

Since they would be here for a long time, there was a small camp, with stone houses built from stones that could be found anywhere on the Gobi. It was already late, and Wei Fan and the others were going to rest here tonight.

This stone house was obviously not built by a professional bricklayer. It was very low in height, and its walls were even drilled in the wind. It was hard to imagine how much perseverance these jade pickers had to endure. According to them, it was still fine during the day, but at night, when the temperature was low, it would freeze someone to death.

Zheng Qianqiu, the young master from a noble family, had never enjoyed this before. No matter where he went, he would stay in a luxurious hotel. Lao Tang and Wei Fan did not have any objections.

Walking out of the stone house, the jade pickers were preparing dinner. While they were waiting for dinner, one of them began to take out the stones he had collected. If a good stone could be found, everyone would be happy with their master.

Being infected by this warm atmosphere, Lao Tang, who had played with jade for most of his life, came to life with them and chatted about everything related to Hetian Jade.

Wei Fan just watched from the side, waiting for dinner. He reached into his pockets with both hands and felt something hard. Suddenly, he remembered that the three of them went out in the morning and didn’t call Xuancao and the others anymore. They didn’t plan to go back in the evening.

Fortunately there was a signal here, so Wei Fan dialed Xuancao’s number. After a short period of waiting, Xuancao accepted the call.

He thought that the moment the phone was connected, this girl would complain about why he hadn’t called her all day! He did not expect to hear the Xiaolan’s ghostly wails from the other side. Was she singing?

It’s too noisy, Xuancao yelled with all her might, “What are you doing? We’re singing on KTV! What? You won’t be back tonight? “Alright, got it. I’m hanging up.”

After making a call, Wei Fan felt that he looked like a woman.

Dinner was also very simple, with very few fresh vegetables and even rarer meat. The leader of the group, Tulong, pointed at the food on the table and said with some embarrassment, “I’m really sorry for neglecting you guys. I’ll bring my gun out tomorrow and see if I can kill a wild sheep.”

Wei Fan and the others did not plan to stay for too long, and thanked Tu Hong for his good intentions. Lao Tang chewed on the steamed bun with the pickled vegetables. He looked at Zheng Qianqiu and joked, “Young Master Qianqiu, are you used to eating?”

Zheng Qianqiu had high requirements for sleeping, and he did not really care about food. He could not deny Lao Tang’s joke and asked Turdan: “Are there any famous jade mines around here?”

“Although we were able to find a few Hetian jades in the rivers at the foot of the mountain, no one has ever tried to mine them in the Tianshan Mountains before.” “If it was possible before, the government would not allow people to mine here now that they have taken care of it.”

Since there weren’t any near the mountain, then there were definitely others. Tuldan pointed to the west, and the desert was shrouded in darkness. He said, “There are people over there. Quite a few of them have struck gold in the past few years, but there are also quite a few who have lost.”

For these jade pickers, it was simply unimaginable to have a jade mine of their own. When Turdan heard that Wei Fan and the others had the intention to mine, he could not help but think of a very serious question.

“If you could guess, would you accept us?”

The consumption of jade by the people was very high, and could not be satisfied with just a few mines. Zheng Qianqiu was amused by Tu Dan’s words, and explained to him, “Even if we were to open up a mine, it would take some time before we can gather some jade. Everything else is related to Mardan and me. We won’t let the price of the jade in your hands go cheap. ”

At this time, Mardan, who was far away in the town, had already begun to contact the other directors of the Hetian jade association. They wanted to cooperate with Zheng Qianqiu’s acting and stock up the Hetian jade in the market, creating an illusion of insufficient production. Zheng Qianqiu, on the other hand, wanted to pretend to be an impatient purchaser, and gave the other jewellers some psychological pressure, forcing the price of the Hetian jade to rise.

Even if it was a simple trap, the jewelry businessmen would have to jump into it if they saw it. Their pitiful storage of jade could not support the market’s consumption.

He heavily patted Zheng Qianqiu’s shoulders and said, “Although I don’t know what plans you and Mardan have, as long as the price can be raised, I’ll thank you on behalf of the Jade Harvesting people.”

The Gobi Desert was devoid of any entertainment. The jade pickers were extremely tired during the day, and did not have the energy to play in the night. After dinner, they both went back to the low house to rest.

Wei Fan and the other two also returned to their rooms. Lao Tang fell asleep very quickly, leaving Zheng Qianqiu to tossing and turning about in the middle of the night before finally falling asleep. Although Wei Fan was sleeping under the blanket, he was secretly cultivating.

There were few people in this border area. Humans had less damage to nature, so they had more pure spiritual energy. Wei Fan hadn’t experienced this feeling of being able to directly absorb spirit energy from the air for a long time. In the dead of night, as an immortal, he naturally had to cultivate well.

The next day, just as the sun was rising, he heard Turnham shouting in a rough voice in the open space outside the house.

“It’s time to get up and start work.”
