Free Web NovelChapter 566: Chapter 241: The Ultimate Temptation of Once-in-a-Millennium Immortal Blood (Part 2)
"Damn, this must be a massive project spanning hundreds of years! If we find a piece, wouldn’t it be as priceless as the Heirloom Seal of the Realm?"
"Haha... That’s just a theoretical way of formation. Nowadays, many people make artificial blood jade; it’s said they use animal corpses instead of human corpses for cultivation. Anyway, the method is very unique, and the conditions are extremely demanding. Even a slight mistake can lead to failure. But once successful, a piece of jade is enough to ensure three generations live without worry."
"So, the red jade in Boss Yang’s possession is similar to blood jade?"
...
Master Chen explained, "No, no, no, when I say blood jade, I mainly want to tell everyone that the formation process of Immortal Blood is even more demanding than the actual blood jade formation process, and it takes hundreds of years to find one. Legend has it that Bian He discovered two invaluable treasures in his lifetime, the first being the well-known He Shi Bi. After obtaining the He Shi Bi, he actively presented the treasure to two kings. But both kings failed to recognize its value and had his knees chopped off, leading to a very miserable life in his later years. The year he passed away, he discovered his second invaluable treasure. Distrustful of kings by then, he decided to split the stone himself. Inside was a bright red jade, whose vivid color was like flowing blood. Knowing he wouldn’t live much longer and dreaming of ascending to immortality after his death, he whimsically named this jade Immortal Blood. Bian He knew that if outsiders discovered this jade, it would surely bring disaster upon him. Moreover, if the king found out he had privately hidden this treasure without presenting it, he would bring severe punishment upon his family. Having already handed over the He Shi Bi, why not hand over this jade? Past suspicions were inevitable. To protect himself and his family, Bian He buried this jade in a valley. From then on, this jade vanished into the annals of history. Later generations found records of Immortal Blood in his ’Bian He’s Jade Collection,’ but he didn’t specify where he buried it. Eventually, even ’Bian He’s Jade Collection’ was lost, and no one knew where the Immortal Blood was anymore. Who could imagine that over two thousand years later, we would see the legendary Immortal Blood again? Boss Yang says it’s priceless, and he’s not exaggerating. Imperial Green surfaces occasionally, but Immortal Blood requires extraordinary fortune to emerge."
After hearing Master Chen’s words, everyone turned to Yang Chen in shock.
Soon, everyone’s expressions turned greedy, their eyes filled with desire, almost ready to write "Boss Yang, I want to snatch your jade" on their faces.
However, now that we’re in a law-abiding society, it’s best to buy it with money if possible; resorting to theft is a last resort.
"Boss Yang, let’s make a deal, 300 million! Give it to me!"
"I’ll offer 1 billion! I won’t even do an appraisal; if Master Chen is mistaken, I’ll accept it. You can come with me to get the money right now."
"Boss Yang, this jade is so rare; I think using money to measure it is too superficial. How about we work together to maximize its value? What do you think?"
...
Hearing how everyone was willing to spend money, Wang Zheng and Zhou Wenqi were so excited they almost flew.
This stone was bought for 35 million, and they invested 500 thousand, owning 1/70 of it.
If the stone sells for 1 billion, they could receive over 14 million according to their investment share.
In this way, they’d recover their 4 million capital, and the 2 million debt to Mingcui Square could be repaid.
Wang Zheng had thought it through; Yang Chen intentionally helped them out, and they couldn’t be ungrateful.
Though they could receive 14 million according to the investment share, they shouldn’t ask Yang Chen for that much money.
They’d settle for 6 million, pay their 2 million debt to Mingcui Square, and keep the remaining 4 million as their capital.
As long as they could keep their capital, they were content.
Yang Chen smiled and replied, "Master Chen must be mistaken; how could such legendary items appear in reality? The main reason is my girlfriends like red, and I plan to make this jade into bracelets, necklaces, rings, etc., to give to them. I have too many girlfriends and can’t neglect any of them; I’m not sure this jade is enough. So, apologies everyone, I won’t be sharing it with you."
After speaking, Yang Chen signaled Wang Zheng and Zhou Wenqi to leave immediately.
Young Master Ning quickly came over and whispered, "Brother Yang, let me accompany you. The item in your hand is too hot right now; accompanying you, I can offer some protection."
Before Yang Chen could respond, Hong Junle also came over, smiling at Yang Chen, saying, "Brother, I really admire your taste and want to learn how to gamble on stones with you. So, let me take you home; you can teach me how to play on the way."
Yang Chen wasn’t a three-year-old; who knows what these two strangers’ real intentions were when they acted so flawlessly?
Therefore, Yang Chen politely declined, "Thank you both for your kindness, but I drove here, so there’s no need to see me off. This is Mingcui Square; I believe I won’t be in any danger. Manager Li, what do you say?"
The manager laughed heartily and said, "Of course! Everyone knows Mingcui Square is famous for its rules. Here, no matter what comes out, you can take it away. Anyone who dares target our customers is challenging both Mingcui Square and Master Qin; it’ll surely lead to dire consequences."
Yang Chen nodded with a smile, saying, "Alright! Then I’ll be on my way; you all have fun."
