Chapter 49: Buying Jades

Translator: Attas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Chu Qing hurriedly dashed out and made his way to a well-known jade shop in the city. This particular store had gained quite a reputation throughout Jinmen for its honesty, although it was known to be a bit pricey.

However, Chu Qing didn’t need to care about how much money he had now. He just needed to make sure that what he bought was real.

After calling Zhai Yu, the boss of Jinmen Jewelry personally came out to receive Chu Qing.

Chu Qing smiled bitterly. He only wanted to ensure that he could buy pure jade so that he could use it to make things easier. However, he did not expect Zhai Yu to make such a big fuss and alarm the boss of Jinmen Jewelry.

“Mr. Chu? How may I help you today?”

The lady boss of Jinmen Jewelry was a charming woman. She looked at Chu Qing with a slightly puzzled expression, seemingly contemplating how someone who appeared so ordinary and casually dressed could have such a close connection with Zhai Yu. It was evident that this young man couldn’t be more than 18 years old.

“I’m looking to buy some jade pendants.”

Chu Qing quickly explained his requirements to the lady boss. He selected several female pendants and a few male pendants. The lady boss was taken aback.

What is this young man up to? Buying over 20 jade pendants?

Indeed, young people nowadays could not be underestimated. Their spending ability could even compare to some successful middle-aged people!

“Alright, that’s all I need.”

“Sure, I’ll pack them for you. The total is… 400,000 yuan.”

“400,000 yuan? Can I make the payment using a card?”

Chu Qing sighed as he realized that the jade pendants were much more expensive than he had anticipated. His initial one million yuan funds had dwindled by approximately 40% after this purchase.

Little did Chu Qing know that the lady boss didn’t dare to negotiate the price with him. The regular price for these jade pendants was well over a million yuan! Not only were these jade pieces extremely rare, but they were also meticulously crafted by master sculptors. Each piece held significant value and was worth every penny.

“Of course…”

The lady boss had no words. She swiped Chu Qing’s card in a daze.

“Please wait here for a moment. 1’11 pack them for you.”

“There’s no need for that. I’ll just put them away.”

Chu Qing shook his head. Under the lady boss’s dumbfounded gaze, he casually took a convenient bag and packed the jade pendants before turning to leave.

“Young people these days…”

The lady boss took a long breath. Although she did not earn any money this time, she still owed Zhai Yu a favor.

Unbeknownst to the lady boss, Zhai Yu was also surprised by Chu Qing’s decision to purchase such a large number of jade pendants at once. Initially, Zhai Yu had assumed that Chu Qing only intended to buy one or two as gifts for a friend. However, to his amazement, Chu Qing ended up casually buying over 20 pieces. Zhai Yu couldn’t help but acknowledge that Chu Qing must be quite wealthy.

Chu Qing carried the jades and flew back to his room. Then, he sat cross-legged.

Chu Qing contemplated for a moment and estimated that this batch of jade pendants could potentially be sold for a price range of two to three million yuan.

Setting aside his distractions, Chu Qing carefully examined one of the jade pendants. He had planned to purchase them in two batches for a specific reason—they each had their own unique purpose and should not be kept together.

Creating spirit talismans was a straightforward process, but Chu Qing had a different plan in mind for these jade pendants. He intended to utilize them to craft spirit weapons.

Spirit weapons held a higher status than spirit talismans, possessing greater power and significance. Although Chu Qing had some experience crafting them in his past life, it would still require considerable effort and dedication on his part. Nonetheless, he was confident in his abilities to succeed.

By incorporating an array formation into the jade pendant and infusing it with his spell and spiritual energy, Chu Qing estimated that it would take approximately two hours to complete the process.

Seeing that the first spirit weapon had been made, Chu Qing heaved a long sigh of relief. It seemed that he would have to spend the night with these spirit weapons…

The spirit weapons crafted by Chu Qing this time possessed two main effects. The first effect was an automatic sword formation that would be activated when the wearer was in danger. This formation had the ability to withstand hazards similar to the blast of a car explosion. Additionally, once the sword array was triggered, Chu Qing would immediately sense it and have enough time to rush to the location and provide assistance.

The second effect was to allow the wearer’s meridians to be unobstructed and extend their lifespan to strengthen their bodies.

Chu Qing carefully set the pendant on the table. Today, he aimed to craft a total of seven spirit pendants, intending to provide protection to the people close to him. His parents would each receive one, as well as Chu Xiao, Chen Huahua, Tang Ziyan, and Ye Chenxi. The final pendant was reserved for Zhai Yu.

Although they had not known each other for long, Zhai Yu had really helped him a lot. At least giving him a jade pendant was a form of goodwill..
