Chapter 199: Selecting Jade
No girl can refuse jewelry and jade. If there is, it must be because the items are not good enough.

The jade dish that the shopkeeper asked the waiter to bring was of very good quality.

The jade served was just raw jade that had been peeled and had not yet been polished or carved, but its smoothness could already be seen. With a little more polishing, it would definitely become even more moist.

Pan Jun told herself that these jades were very expensive, and it would be a waste to buy them with her current level of cultivation, but her hands had their own consciousness and quickly touched a piece of reddish white jade.

Miao Zhen Miao He also stared at the jade, one on the left and one on the right, and exclaimed with Pan Yun, "It's so beautiful."

The shopkeeper smiled until his eyes narrowed, and praised: "The three immortals have good taste. This piece of floating red mutton-fat jade is the best piece in our store. Don't look at it as it is only the size of two fists, the red color penetrates from the outside to the inside. This pure white mutton-fat jade is rare, but this pure floating red mutton-fat jade is also very rare."

Pan Yun: "The price is also very rare, right?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "If you really want it, I can give you this price."

He held up two fingers and flipped through them.

Pan Yun had never bought jade in this world. He quickly recalled the price in the 26th century and compared it with the purchasing power of silver in this world. He felt disappointed. taels...

She's not worth that much money even if I sell her.

Miao He screamed when he turned his fingers, "Two hundred taels? This is too expensive!"

Pan Yun immediately stood up straight and turned to look at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper said, "This is not expensive. It is the raw jade you want. If you dig it into bracelets, jade plaques, jade rings, etc., you can make at least three times the value of this piece of jade."

Miaozhen: "Isn't this uncarved?"

The shopkeeper said, "Since you think it's expensive, why don't you take a look at the other ones?"

Miaozhen Miaohe went to look at other raw jades.

Although other raw jades are not as good as this piece of red mutton-fat jade, they are also very beautiful.

The two looked at Pan Yun, "Uncle Master, which one do you think is good? Why don't you ask the price? We can just buy the cheapest one."

Pan Jun's hand was still on the floating red mutton-fat jade. Her eyes drifted over the other jades. She simply used her skills and her talent to see.

She wanted to see which piece of jade contained the most spiritual energy.

After looking around and comparing carefully, Pan Jun couldn't help but sigh that jade is like people, the more spiritual energy it locks into, the more beautiful it becomes.

There is a reason why this piece of jade is the most beautiful and catches their eye the most: it contains the most spiritual energy.

Pan Yun said: "I want this one."

Miao Zhen was so surprised that she couldn't help but whisper, "Little Master, didn't you say that we should choose the worse ones first?"

Pan Yun said: "Things that appeal to you can only be found by chance, but now that you have found them, you should not give up."

The main reason is that it is cheap. In the previous life, how could jade be so cheap?
The shopkeeper smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Little Immortal is right, this kind of good thing is hard to come by."

Pan Yun tapped the table with his fingers and said, "But two hundred taels is indeed too expensive."

The shopkeeper was now full of confidence and had more confidence in bargaining. He said with a smile, "But it's worth it. Such good jade can only be found in Longhu Mountain. Because the place is small, it has been preserved. If it were sold outside, it would cost at least three or five hundred taels."

"It just happened to land on Longhu Mountain," Pan Yun said, "It must be its luck. So, how about you give me some stuff, boss?"

Shopkeeper: "What does the little fairy want?"

"This piece of jade is so good that I can't bear to part with it. I can't think of anything to carve for it at the moment, but I want to give gifts to my two nephews. So, how about you bring the lower-quality jade in the store and I'll choose two pieces for my nephews?"

The shopkeeper couldn't help but look at Miaozhen and Miaohe, and meeting their shining eyes, he couldn't help but remind them: "Little Fairy, it's not good to say in front of others that you will give me a second-rate jade, right?"

Miao Zhen Miao He immediately said: "We don't mind, we just like inferior jade."

The shopkeeper paused, remained silent for a moment, then waved to the waiter, whispered a few words, and smiled awkwardly at the three people.

Second-rate jade is out of the question, but some worthless raw jade can still be given as a gift.

In fact, they are the scraps from cutting and carving, most of which are only half the size of a palm, with varying thicknesses, water content and colors, some good and some bad.

Naturally, most of them are bad.

The ones with good water head and color and a certain thickness can be made into rings, and can be sold for three or five taels after a little polishing.

The ones that were sent up included those with water head but no color, those with color but poor water head, and some that had both, and their thickness and size were not suitable.

Overall, the value will not exceed three or two taels.

Giving two to Pan Yun would only be six taels, so this is a good deal.

Of course Pan Yun, Miao Zhen and Miao He also noticed it.

Miao Zhen and Miao He were very unhappy. They thought it would be better to bargain. They could directly cut down the price by 150 taels. At worst, they could increase the price gradually. They didn't believe that they couldn't even bargain down 10 taels of silver.

Pan Yun also sighed, "Boss, you really know how to do business."

She searched through a tray of raw jade and quickly found five pieces of similar size, thickness, and color transition from green to blue-white. Pan Yun put the five pieces of raw jade together and said, "Give us five pieces."

The shopkeeper glared, "You said it was only two dollars..."

"I didn't expect that the first-class jade you bought this time was just scraps," Pan Yun said, "and I'm not going to spare you these five pieces. Miaohe, tell the shopkeeper, what's your ranking in the mountain?"

Miao He puffed out his chest and said loudly and proudly: "I am ranked fifth!"

"Look, I have five nephews. Originally, if you had given me a lower-quality piece of jade, I would have had to buy three more pieces myself to complete the gift. But look at this..."

The shopkeeper opened his mouth, wanting to turn around and exchange a plate of raw jade for her, but he remembered that the price of the first-class raw jade was a bit high, and a bad piece would cost five or six taels. If she chose a good one, she might have to pay more than ten taels. The price of the two pieces added together would be quite high, so it would be better to let her take the five pieces of raw jade.

The shopkeeper tried hard to force a smile and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say. These five pieces of raw jade will be given to you."

Pan Yun was satisfied and took out the banknote to pay.

The shopkeeper packed the jade in two boxes and enthusiastically saw Pan Yun out.

Pan Jun stuffed the box into his sleeve, actually throwing it into the spiritual space. "I just realized that there seems to be no sleeve secrets for sale in the Immortal Building."

Miao Zhen said: "On the third floor, not only do you need a sign to go upstairs, but you also need to pay a deposit of one thousand taels in advance. You can only withdraw the money and leave after all the payments for goods are settled. My master said so."

Pan Yun asked, "Have you ever been up there?"

Miaozhen shook her head.

"So that means Second Senior Brother has been there?"

Miao Zhen nodded, "My master, Third Uncle and the others have been there. My master said that when I am older and my cultivation reaches the fifth stage, he will take me there."

Pan Yun: "I have just entered the fifth stage, why doesn't Second Senior Brother want to take me with him?"

Miao Zhen smiled embarrassedly, "Master said that he didn't expect Junior Uncle's cultivation to increase so quickly, so he didn't prepare anything. When he came last time, he didn't have much money on him."

Pan Yun lamented, "If you don't have enough money, you can tell me. Money is not a problem at all."

Miao He: "You are bragging. You clearly didn't have a penny at that time, Junior Master."

"I don't have any, but I can borrow it," Pan Yun said. "I can also go to the Tianshi Mansion to advance Zhang Liuzhen's medicine expenses for next month. It's a pity that Second Senior Brother is too reserved. Alas, he is still not thick-skinned enough."

Wonderful, truly wonderful and speechless.

Pan Yun said, "But forget it. It sounds like a glamorous world up there. It would be better to go there when we are older. Otherwise, we will be spoiled for choice. We don't have money now. It would be very sad if we see good things but cannot buy them."

She said, "When I get back, I will make you a Qiankun Jade Plate. I have already thought about it. What I will make for you is called Qiankun Jade Plate. My cultivation is average now, so I will use inferior raw jade to make it. When I break through to the first level, I will cut the good raw jade and make another one for you."

"Junior Master, why don't you wait until your cultivation level improves before buying good jade? There are plenty of good jades out there, and they're cheaper too."

"But we all liked this piece of jade when we saw it. There may be better jade out there, but we may not feel so excited when we see it again." Pan Yun said, "Good jade can only be found by chance. I am not saying this to fool you, but it is the truth."

Miao Zhen said, "Uncle Junior Master, Miao He and I will pay for the jade."

Pan Yun waved his hand and said, "Your junior master can still afford this little money, just wait to receive the gift."

Pan Jun smiled brilliantly, and Miaozhen and Miaohe also smiled brilliantly.

Pan Yun was not too familiar with space-related things. As a graduate student, the subsidy given by his supervisor was barely enough to cover his food expenses.

If she wants to practice and live, she has to make money on her own.

She majored in formations and talismans, so naturally she made money from them.

Not to mention the talismans, there are also various formation tools that she is proud of, including space.

So she thought the jade was cheap.

This jade is really cheap. As soon as Pan Yun returned to Fengqiyuan, he took out the jade and played with it, muttering: "This is something I couldn't have in my previous life, but I have it in this life."

Pan Xiaohei despised her inexperienced look and asked, "Do you want to take a look at my true form?"

"The best jade in the world is not as beautiful as me. You already have the best in the world, yet you can still look down on these mundane things."

Pan Yun touched the jade and looked at it before saying, "Although you belong to me, the spiritual realm belongs to you."

Pan Xiaohei blinked. He always felt that what Pan Jun said was not quite right, but he was very happy in his heart. His happiness made him ignore some things that were wrong. He raised his chin proudly and decided not to argue with her anymore.

Pan Yun asked Miaozhen and Miaohe to choose their favorite piece of jade from the five pieces, and then began to polish the piece chosen by Miaohe.

"The smaller ones go first, so I'll carve one for Miaohe first."

She took out the jade that Miaohe had chosen, cut it and shaved it into a jade plaque, about one finger long and three fingers wide.

After it was polished, she entered into a state of meditation and practiced to get enough rest. In the early morning when the spiritual energy in Fengqi Courtyard was the most abundant, she took out the jade token and lit the candles and lamps that had been prepared in advance.
