Xianzun Yao 26 Zhuanji + Duoshi

  After leaving Yun Chu Mountain Villa, Ye Chuchu did not return to the palace, but instead went to an antique shop under Yun Chu Mountain Villa.

  At this time, Ye Gu was in the store and saw Ye Chuchu, so he quickly welcomed her in.

  "Landlord, what's going on here?" Ye Gu asked tentatively.

  "I just came to take a look." Ye Chuchu said as she looked around at the things in the store.

  "Where did these antiques come from?" Ye Chuchu curiously examined these ancient objects, she could vaguely feel the lingering aura on them, but it had long since dissipated due to prolonged exposure, and she felt a little regretful.

  "Some were stolen by grave robbers from the tombs of our ancestors, some were passed down from our forefathers, and since they couldn't be sold here, there are also..." Ye Gu answered Ye Chuchu's question patiently.

  "What were stolen from the tomb?" Ye Chuchu asked suddenly.

  "These..." Ye Gu pointed out a few for Ye Chuchu to see, Ye Chuchu felt them one by one, her eyes lit up, and indeed as she had guessed.

  Although the antiques of today have lost their spiritual energy, those in the tomb, after years of accumulation and sealing, have gained spiritual energy. The farther away this spiritual energy is from its era, the more abundant it becomes.

  She wants these antiques not to absorb like Ling Shi, but to set up an array. With these antiques and some Ling Shi, she can set up a gathering spirit array in the Zi Chen Palace, so it's not necessary to go to space every time for cultivation.

  Thinking of this, Ye Chuchu had the idea of robbing a tomb.

  "Ye Gu, do you know the tomb raider?" Ye Chuchu asked immediately.

  "...... Master Zhuang, this......" Ye Gu said in a low voice.

  "I have my own plans, you help me find an experienced tomb raider." Ye Chuchu didn't want to say too much.

  "En." Ye Gu replied.

  "Have you investigated the jade market I mentioned last time?" asked Ye Chuchu.

  "I've asked some acquaintances in the antique circle, and they told me that this industry is quite risky. One wrong move can lead to bankruptcy or overnight wealth. I'm afraid if we're not careful, we'll end up losing everything." After further understanding, Ye Gu no longer had the idea of venturing into the jade stone industry.

  “……” He glanced at Ye Gu, and Ye Chuchu suddenly realized that the person in front of him was no longer in his prime years. Although it didn't count for much in the cultivation world, in the mortal world, he was equivalent to an older generation of cultivators. At that age, one was supposed to be stable and conservative, without the reckless drive of youth.

  He no longer has the fighting spirit for such high-risk things as gambling on stones.

  Thinking of this, Ye Chuchu already knew that letting Ye Gu intervene in the jade stone matter would not have a big impact either. She needed to find someone else.

  At this time, a quarrel caught Ye Chuchu's attention.

  "Shopkeeper, this is a pure breed Qingbai jade, don't you really want it?" A young man looked at the shopkeeper with some tension.

  "Moyu, I've already said that we're an antique shop. We do have this type of jade, but if it hasn't been carved, we won't accept it. You should go to those jade shops instead!" The shopkeeper said with some helplessness.

  "Those people think I'm easy to bully and have lowered the price too much." Mo Yu said with some indignation.

  "You'd better leave! I'm not in charge of such things." The shopkeeper waved his hand and ordered him to be driven out.

  Mo Yu heard the shopkeeper's words and looked somewhat downcast as he prepared to leave.

  "Wait." Yechuchu called out.

  "Anything wrong?" Mo Yu looked at Ye Chuchu with a worried expression.

  "Where did you get this jade from?" Ye Chuchu asked Mo Yu directly, staring at him.

  "I bought the rough stone myself at an auction." Mo Yu used all his savings to buy a rough stone, and when he cut it open to find that it was pure celadon jade, he was overjoyed. But those people saw how easy it was to bully him and actually prepared to lowball him, wanting to buy it from him for less than half the market price. How could he agree?

  "You can identify the raw stone." Ye Chuchu asked.

  "Of course." Mo Yu said with confidence and determination.

  "Master Zhuang, you've been deceived." Ye Gu hastily came out and said, "The Mo family was originally a wealthy jade merchant in this area. Later, due to losing at gambling on jades, their entire fortune was lost. Mr. Mo couldn't bear it and took his own life, leaving behind Mo Yu and a widowed mother, with a huge debt on her back."

  "You..." Mo Yu wanted to refute, but couldn't say a word. What he said was the truth, his father indeed lost everything because of a failed gamble, but that was because they were framed. The Mo family had their own special technique for gambling on stones, it's just that he didn't know how to explain it properly. He could only clench his face in anger and glare at Ye Gu.

  "Tonight, I'll take you to Tianyou Pavilion. If you have the ability to appraise and can appraise another piece of jade, then I will buy your jade at market price." Ye Chuchu promised.

  "Master..." Ye Gu was about to persuade him further but was stopped by Ye Chuchu's hand gesture.

  "Alright." Mo Yu agreed in one breath. He saw Ye Gu calling Ye Chuchu the shop owner, so he knew Ye Chuchu was the master of this store and would not cheat ordinary people like him.

  Ye Gu looked at Ye Chuchu who was determined to go her own way, and felt a bit helpless in his heart, but in the end he didn't say anything.

  Heavenly Loft

  Ye Chuchu's affair with Mo Yu also caught Su Qingge's attention.

  Su Qingge learned through his undercover agents that Ye Chuchu frequently appeared at the Yun Chu Mountain Villa, and if he dug deeper, he would know about Ye Chuchu's relationship with the Yun Chu Mountain Villa.

  He then went to investigate Yun Chushan Manor and didn't find anything suspicious. It was Ye Chuchu who suddenly appeared and incorporated Yun Chushan Manor under her command.

  This caught his attention, did Chu Ye have some other plan that didn't go as expected?

  As expected, Su Qingge still sent someone to find Ye Chuchu.

  The two were led into the private room.

  "Chu Shao is here today, I wonder if it's again because of the Origin Stone in my hand?" The sarcastic words came out of Su Qingge's mouth.

  "It's okay, but today's protagonist isn't me, it's him." Ye Chuchu's words pushed Mo Yu in front of Su Qingge.

  "Who is he?" Su Qingge sized up Mo Yu, who was also calmly looking at Ye Chuchu.

  "Well, I brought him here to gamble, maybe he has the same feeling as me?" Ye Chuchu said vaguely.

  Upon hearing Ye Chuchu's words, Su Qingge's eyes flashed with interest, "Then I'll take a look at his skills?"

  After finishing speaking, Su Qingge took the two of them towards the basement.

  Mo Yu stared blankly at the rough stones in the basement, he had never seen so many in his life, it seemed that Tianyou Pavilion was indeed the number one jade gambling house.

  "Go pick one." Yechuchu had already selected a few dozen raw stones with only two of them having jade, and let Moyu choose.

  Mo Yu walked slowly towards the pile of raw stones under the gaze of the two people.

  ……

  After Mo Yu chose, a pair of eyes stared at Ye Chuchu with expectation.

  Ye Chuchu didn't say a word and handed the original stone over to Master Shi, who was familiar with it.

  Next is the time to witness the results.

  Digression

  Hehe, I'm finally starting to get in touch with these things slowly, have you guys been waiting anxiously? O(∩_∩)O
