“You little Taoist, the jade business is full of hidden depths, how can you accuse me of impersonating…”
Upon hearing the word “Bao Yuan,” the Fatty Boss’s heart moved, but his face still showed a distressed expression.
The words were not yet finished.
Xuanqing frowned slightly and turned to leave.
“Hey, hey, hey, don’t go, Daoist Priest, how about adding a little more, seven thousand… Seven thousand and one kilogram?” The Fatty Boss was anxious and hurriedly chased after him from the side of the stall.
It’s worth mentioning.
Retail transactions were done by the gram, but for wholesale transactions like this, they had to be calculated by the kilogram.
“Five yuan per gram. Deal if you sell, don’t block me if you don’t!” Xuanqing stopped and said indifferently.
Even at five yuan per gram, it was still 5,000 yuan per kilogram. The current market price was around 4,500-5,000 yuan. Even if the price rose, it shouldn’t exceed that.
So.
After hearing this price,
The Fatty Boss’s face was tangled in a mix of emotions.
Business was getting harder and harder these days, mainly due to the information explosion of the modern era, making it difficult to cheat many fat sheep. For example, these mountain materials would have been sold as seed materials in earlier years.
“Fine, five yuan it is. Let’s just make friends.” The Fatty Boss gritted his teeth and said, thinking in his heart that after he finished this deal, he would invest in some jade, as he heard that the fat sheep in the jade world were particularly easy to deceive.
Next.
One by one, the mountain materials were placed on the weighing scale. Several dozen large and small stones weighed a total of 218.62 kilograms. At five yuan per gram and 5,001 yuan per kilogram, the total after rounding down came to 106,400.
Afterward.
Under the astonished gaze of the Fatty Boss.
This knowledgeable young Daoist Priest in front of him effortlessly carried the two hundred kilograms of jade stones on his shoulder and left the wholesale market.
After leaving the jade wholesale market.
Xuanqing found a secluded place and put the jade materials into the Game Backpack.
Looking at the text message on his phone, it showed the remaining balance.
According to Yang Ying’s Taoist temple development plan, this amount of money is far from enough; perhaps just road construction would consume it all.
“I need to get some more money!” Xuanqing thought to himself.
Instead of taking the Cloud Rider back to Qingping Temple, he walked to the Changling City Taoist Association.
He didn’t know how to run a business and had no interest in it. However, with the ability to freely travel between worlds, obtaining worldly wealth was still a piece of cake.
Arriving at the Taoist Association,
Xuanqing effortlessly took the elevator to the association’s center.
“Hello, this is… oh, it’s you, the Daoist Priest who sold the ginseng last time!”
The Receptionist Girl said the greeting subconsciously, but immediately recognized Xuanqing’s appearance and recalled the memory.
There’s no other way.
Although there were many Taoist priests in the world, only Xuanqing had such a transcendent temperament. Even if it was just a fleeting glance, it would never be forgotten.
“Helio, I’m here to sell ginseng again. Please help me arrange for the same Appraiser Master as last time!” Xuanqing said with a slight smile.
“Alright, please wait a moment.”
The girl nodded repeatedly, taking out her phone to make a call while stealthily observing Xuanqing.
After making the call.
She couldn’t help but ask, “Daoist Priest, are you… the famous Daoist Xuanqing who went viral online recently?”
“Yes,” Xuanqing nodded slightly.
Upon hearing the Daoist Priest in front of her admitting to being Daoist Xuanqing,
The Receptionist Girl’s eyes sparkled.
She quickly took a pen and paper out of the drawer in the counter.
“Daoist Xuanqing, I’m your little fan, can 1 have your autograph?” The girl’s face turned red with excitement.
Hearing this,
Xuanqing couldn’t help but smile.
At that moment.
Two elders approached from a distance.
One of them was the Appraiser Master who had appraised his ginseng last time.
Another old man was wearing a purple-edged Taoist robe, which suggested that his status within the Taoist community must not be low.
This old man had a tall figure, with slightly curly long hair falling down his shoulders, and he walked with the strides of a dragon and tiger, emanating an extraordinary aura.
“You’re a grown-up, and yet you still act like a child!” The old man scolded the receptionist girl, and then turned his head to look at Xuanqing.
‘What a handsome Taoist priest.’
Anyone who saw Xuanqing for the first time would think the same. But looking at Xuanqing’s features, the old man’s heart couldn’t help but jump with astonishment.
As a Taoist priest of the Qingwei sect, they were best at physiognomy and divination. According to the records, the young priest’s features, combined with his otherworldly temperament, looked like a celestial being banished to the mortal world!
Unfathomable, truly unfathomable-
However.
Having spent a lifetime in the pugilistic world, even if his heart was filled with astonishment, his expression remained calm and composed.
“Immeasurable Longevity and Fortune, my Taoist name is Jingde!” Elder Jingde stood upright, forming a Yin and Yang Fish hand seal in front of his chest.
Seeing this.
Whether it was the girl behind the counter or the appraiser master, their hearts were stirred with surprise.
Hiss-
You should know.
The rules of greeting etiquette in the Taoist community were not to be taken lightly. Holding the hand seal in front of one’s chest represented that the Taoist priest in front of him was regarded as a peer, indicating a sense of equality.
This side.
Xuanqing was curious when he saw the appraiser master bringing over a Daoist priest with such a presence.
However.
It must be related to the sale of the ginseng he was offering.
With this thought in mind.
Xuanqing formed a hand seal, lifted it to his forehead, and performed a junior’s salute, “I, Xuanqing, meet Daoist Jingde.”
After the ceremony.
He also cupped his hands towards the appraiser master on the side. Judging by his attire, though he was older, his status was similar to Xuanqing’s, so he could be more casual with him.
Speaking of which, Xuanqing himself was the master of a Taoist temple, although the temple was small and remote.
“Let’s go to the quiet room and sit down!” Elder Jingde laughed and nodded, extending his right hand in a gesture of invitation.
“Mingyue, go make a pot of hot tea, and remember to use Grandpa’s Da Hong Pao tea.”
“Oh-” The girl behind the counter had a strong curiosity twinkling in her eyes.
On the side.
Xuanqing heard that this girl’s name was ‘Mingyue’, the same as the two children Qingfeng and Mingyue from the Wuzhuang Temple. This was quite interesting.
Arriving at the quiet room.
Elder Jingde, who was experienced and wise, naturally noticed the curiosity on Xuanqing’s face just now.
“Ha ha! My granddaughter is indeed a naughty one. Her generation should have been named with ‘Ru’, and her Daoist name should be Ru Xiao. However, she thought it didn’t sound nice, so she named herself Mingyue instead. 1 apologize for any amusement this may have caused to my Daoist friend.”
Elder Jingde laughed and explained.
Ru Xiao?
Breast… small?
Xuanqing was taken aback.
No wonder the girl didn’t like it. Who would like such a Daoist name? However, considering that the girl was indeed flat-chested, the name seemed fitting.
It was said that during the Republic of China era, there was a famous Heavenly Master of the Qingwei sect from Maoshan. Even though he was a man, he was called Phoenix Seductress.
Among the major sects in the Taoist community, the Qingwei sect from Maoshan was known to have the most bizarre names. Now that Xuanqing saw Elder Jingde’s granddaughter’s name, he realized it was true!
After some polite small talk.
They moved on to the main topic.
“I wonder, Friend Xuanqing, how many years do the ginseng you plan to sell have, and what is the quality?” Elder Jingde asked with great anticipation.”/p>
He didn’t come specifically to see the ginseng, but happened to be at the Taoist Association handling some affairs and came over with the appraiser master. “Please have a look, both of you!”
With a thought.
Xuanqing took out a pine wood box from his chest..
