147: Chapter 147: A cost of 1,500! A value of over 20 million!

Young Master Wang reacted at this moment.

This was Imperial Green Jade!

If he could get his hands on it and find a master to carve it into an ornament as a birthday gift for the old man, it would definitely be a face-saving move!

"Brother! Sell it to me!"

Young Master Wang pushed Zhao Fugui aside and said eagerly.

"I'll offer ten million!"

"As long as you nod, I'll transfer the money immediately!"

Ten million!

The onlookers gasped.

This was simply a leap to the heavens!

Turning five hundred into ten million—even robbing a bank wouldn't yield such returns this quickly!

Everyone thought Su Yun would agree.

After all, judging by his attire, ten million was definitely an astronomical figure.

However.

Su Yun just glanced at Young Master Wang indifferently.

"Not for sale."

Two simple words choked Young Master Wang directly.

"Think it's too little? Then I'll add another two million! Twelve million!"

Young Master Wang gritted his teeth and said.

Su Yun shook his head.

He picked up the cut jade and stuffed it into his worn-out canvas bag.

Then, he pointed to the remaining two stones.

"Master, continue cutting."

The stone-cutting master looked at Su Yun now as if he were looking at a deity.

Without a word, he immediately started the machine.

"Zzzzz!"

Two more crisp sounds.

The second piece: Ice-type floating flower!

The third piece: High-ice violet!

Although not as shocking as the first Imperial Green Jade, it was definitely a huge profit!

The total value of these three pieces was at least over twenty million!

And Su Yun's cost was only 1,500.

Inside the Treasure Pavilion, it was dead silent.

Only the sound of people swallowing saliva could be heard.

Young Master Wang was completely dumbfounded.

Looking at the raw stone he had just spent two million on in his hand, he suddenly felt like a complete idiot.

Zhao Fugui was slumped in his chair, his eyes dull, muttering to himself: "Lost, lost big..."

Su Yun put all three pieces of jade into his bag and zipped it up.

He patted the bulging canvas bag, not even glancing at the two clowns.

"Many thanks for Boss Zhao's generosity."

Leaving behind this cutting remark, Su Yun turned and walked out the door of the Treasure Pavilion.

Only a crowd of people was left behind, looking at each other, doubting life.

Returning to Jinxiu Jiangnan Community.

Su Yun locked the door and drew the curtains.

He dumped the three priceless jades onto the coffee table.

Under the light, the three pieces of jade emitted a charming luster.

Especially the Imperial Green Jade, lush and green, as if life was flowing within it.

Su Yun could clearly feel a rich spiritual energy dissipating from the jade.

"Good stuff."

Su Yun took a deep breath, feeling his pores relax.

With these pieces of jade, not only could his cultivation speed increase several times over, but he could also attempt to craft a few protective jade talismans.

The world these days was not peaceful.

Although he had the system and the cultivation method, having a few more trump cards was never a bad thing.

Su Yun took out a tungsten steel carving knife he had prepared long ago from the drawer.

It was a specially made tungsten steel knife, razor-sharp.

He picked up the Imperial Green Jade, his fingers gently stroking the smooth cut surface.

His eyes gradually became sharp.

"Well then, let's begin."

Su Yun sat cross-legged on the wool carpet and took a deep breath.

On the coffee table in front of him, that priceless Imperial Green Jade was emitting an alluring luster.

If Young Master Wang saw Su Yun's current actions, he would probably suffer a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot.

A treasure worth tens of millions was being handled so casually by Su Yun.

"Although this thing is expensive, in the eyes of a cultivator, it's just a disposable battery."

Su Yun muttered to himself, pressing his hands directly onto the jade raw stones.

Close eyes.

Focus.

In his mind, the verses of the Tai Xuan Qi Induction Mantra began to circulate.

This was a foundational technique from the ancient cultivation world. Although it was only the introductory chapter, in this current Age of Dharma Decline where spiritual energy was exhausted, it was a priceless treasure.

As the technique circulated, a warm sensation came from his palms.

It was like putting his hands into warm water, so comfortable that he wanted to hum.

Immediately after, that warmth traveled along the meridians of his arms, all the way up, straight to his Dantian.

His originally silent Dantian, like long-parched land meeting sweet rain, began to greedily absorb this external energy.

This was spiritual energy!

Although the amount was small, the purity was extremely high.

After all, it was the essence contained within top-tier jade like Imperial Green Jade.

Su Yun felt warm all over, and a tingling sensation permeated his bones.

This feeling was better than having ten massages.

"Crack! Crack!"

A series of crisp popping sounds came from within his body.

This was his bones restructuring and his meridians widening.

Although he had cured his cancer with the marrow-cleansing soup before, his physical foundation was still too poor.

Now with the nourishment of spiritual energy, this body could truly be considered to have stepped over the threshold of cultivation.

As spiritual energy poured in continuously, Su Yun felt as if something had been broken inside his body.

Boom!

A muffled sound echoed in his mind.

His originally blurred senses suddenly became clear.

He could even hear the rhythm of the aunties square dancing downstairs and smell the fragrance of the neighbor's braised pork.

Qi Refining Level 1!

That was it?

Su Yun opened his eyes and looked down at his arms.

Good grief.

The surface of his skin was covered with a thin layer of black grease, emitting a pungent smell.

These were the deep impurities expelled from his body.

"This must be the legendary marrow cleansing and meridian cutting. This smell is indeed a bit potent."

Su Yun wrinkled his nose in disgust and quickly got up and rushed into the bathroom.

Ten minutes later.

Su Yun walked out feeling refreshed.

He felt as if his whole person was ten pounds lighter, with a spring in his step.

He clenched his fists, feeling an explosive sense of power.

Now, let alone a bus driver like Wang Jianping, even if ten special forces soldiers came, he could easily take them down.

This was the correct way to open a cultivator's life!

Su Yun was in a great mood and sat back down in front of the coffee table.

However.

When he saw those pieces of jade, the smile on his face froze.

The originally crystal-clear, lush Imperial Green Jade had now turned dull and grey, covered with fine cracks.

A light touch.

"Clatter."

It shattered into a pile of powder.

The other two pieces, the Ice-type and the Violet, were the same, turning into worthless stones.

Tens of millions, just gone like that.

Su Yun's mouth twitched.

"Is this what they call 'pay-to-win cultivation'?"

"This round of cultivation burned through an entire house."

Although his heart ached for the money, feeling the spiritual energy surging within his body, Su Yun felt it was worth it.

Money is something that can be earned again if it's gone.

You only have one life.

Moreover, it wasn't a total loss.

Su Yun picked out four relatively intact jade fragments from the pile of waste stone.

These were the core parts of the jade. Although the spiritual energy had been sucked dry, the texture remained, which was perfect for use as a carrier for talismans.

Paper talismans were okay for fooling people, but if he really encountered powerful evil spirits, he would need jade talismans to suppress them.

Jade talismans were different.

They could carry more spiritual energy, had greater power, and could be reused.

Su Yun picked up the specially made tungsten steel carving knife.

The content of the Low-level Talisman Production Method emerged in his mind.

This time, what he wanted to make was a life-saving divine artifact, the Peace Talisman.

And an offensive weapon, the Lightning Attraction Talisman.

Su Yun took a deep breath, his eyes becoming focused.

With a flick of his wrist, the carving knife fell.

"Zzzzz!"

The carving knife traveled across the jade fragment, stone chips flying.

Su Yun's strength and control were no longer what they used to be.

Hard jade was no different from a block of tofu in his hands.

Complex talisman runes appeared on the jade pieces one by one.

These were not just scribbles; every stroke contained the principles of heaven and earth.

If he drew one stroke wrong, the jade would be ruined.

Su Yun was fully focused, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.

Three minutes later.

The first jade talisman was completed.

But this wasn't the end.

Having form but no spirit just made it a craft item.

He still had to infuse it with spirit!
