At the first sight of Maisy Spencer, Peter Brown’s heart raced.
Standing in front of him, Maisy was clearly the kind of beauty that could outshine the surrounding scenery wherever she stood.
Wearing white jeans, with fluttering hair and big eyes, one could feel the charming aura emanating from her eyes at a glance.
So beautiful!
Peter couldn’t help but praise her silently.
“Maisy, you’ve become even prettier!”
Maya Watson seemed to be very familiar with this girl and immediately began chatting with her.
“Maya, my dad happened to be going to the Southland to purchase some goods, so he asked me to accompany you.”
“Mr.
Brown, Maisy is also an expert in jade.
She is very reputable in the provincial city.”
Maya introduced Maisy to Peter.
“Hello!” Maisy took the initiative to shake hands with Peter, and her eyes showed no sign of disdain.
After shaking hands, Maisy gestured for them to enter, saying, “Please come in.”
After entering a courtyard, Peter discovered that it was a large place filled with various jade stones, and many people were inspecting them.
“These are all newly acquired goods.
What kind of jade are you looking for?”
Maya smiled and replied, “Mr.
Gibson only asked me to accompany Mr.
Brown to buy, but he didn’t specify how to purchase.
It’s all up to Mr.
Brown.”
Peter was planning to create a large-scale Spiritual Gathering Array covering the entire contracted area, so he needed some long-lasting jade stones as formation eyes.
After arriving here, he began looking around.
“Let me take a look first.”
“Sure, take your time.”
Maisy and Maya sat down and started chatting while waiting for Peter.
“It seems that I was a bit presumptuous.
Not every jade can be used as a formation eye!”
Peter, drawing on his inherited knowledge, examined some jade he had thought was good, only to sense that these stones had no spiritual energy.
Would the more expensive jade have more spiritual energy?
Peter touched a jade piece priced at several million dollars.
Indeed, as soon as he placed his hand on it, subtle spiritual energy fluctuations emanated from the stone.
Peter withdrew his hand and looked at the highly-priced jade stones, realizing that even with his nine million dollars, he wouldn’t be able to buy enough jade for his intended array.
What should he do?
After some thought, Peter remembered his ability to sense spiritual energy with his touch.
He cast his gaze on several rough stones.
Seeing Peter approaching the rough stones, Maisy curiously came over and asked, “Mr.
Brown, are you interested in jade gambling?”
“I just want to take a look.
I don’t know much about rough stones.”
Peter walked to a huge stone, and saw that the price wasn’t too high, only one hundred thousand dollars.
“Can I have the stones cut on the spot?”
“Of course.”
Peter touched the stone with his hand and carefully sensed the spiritual energy situation.
However, after a while, he didn’t find anything special.
Peter got up and went to another larger rough stone.
“This stone is said to have a good chance of being glazed type, so the price is higher, three million dollars.” Maisy’s curiosity about this young farmer intensified.
“Hmm.”
Peter touched the stone with his hand.
To outsiders, it seemed as if Peter was carefully examining the stone.
Maisy wondered, could this young farmer really understand jade?
However, soon, Peter had moved on to another stone.
Looking at the price tag, Peter asked, “Why is it so cheap?
It looks even bigger than the other two rough stones.”
Maisy smiled and explained, “Didn’t you notice that several cuts have been made on this rough stone already?
With each cut, it loses value, and experts have all said that there is little chance of finding jade in this stone, so the price is only 800,000 dollars.”
Peter let out a soft “oh” and still touched the stone with his hand.
As soon as Peter touched the stone, his expression froze.
He could clearly feel the strong spiritual energy flowing into his hand.
Let’s try!
Peter decided that no matter what, he had to try this stone to see if it contained jade.
If it did, that would prove that his method was extraordinary.
“I’ll take this one.
800,000 dollars, right?
I’ll transfer the money now.”
Peter was very decisive in his decision.
Maisy looked at Peter, then at the stone, and hesitated for a moment before agreeing with a smile, “Alright.”
The rough stone was soon being cut.
Peter didn’t have high expectations for the result; he just wanted flat pieces to make a formation eye, so when the master cutter asked how he wanted it cut, Peter replied, “Just make a horizontal cut in the middle.”
“Ah!”
Maisy hurried to say, “Mr.
Brown, if there’s jade inside, you might ruin it!”
Peter smiled and said, “It’s fine, just cut it like that.”
The cutter clearly wasn’t used to someone buying an expensive stone and cutting it so carelessly.
He hesitated and asked Peter, “Should I cut it?”
“Go ahead.”
Many people had come to watch, and everyone knew that this rough stone had been cut several times before.
They all wanted to see if anything would be revealed after yet another cut.
“Ah!”
“Sigh!”
“What a pity!”
“Such a wastrel!”
As the rough stone was split in half, everyone’s eyes focused on the center.
“The color is rich and bright, even and…
it’s indeed an old pit glazed type!” an old scholar-like man murmured to himself.
“What a wastrel.
If he hadn’t cut it like that, it could have sold for two hundred million.
Now it might only fetch tens of millions, sigh!”
Some people sighed in disappointment.
Maisy and Maya both curiously looked at the cut jade.
“I’ll give you a hundred million dollars, and we’ll take it!”
Maisy said seriously.
“Bought for 800,000 dollars, and found a hundred-million-dollar jade, what a fortune!” The way everyone looked at Peter had changed, and they no longer saw him as just a farmer.
“A hundred million!”
Maya couldn’t maintain her composure either.
She didn’t expect the young man she had been accompanying to have such good luck.
At this moment, Peter’s heart was filled with joy.
He knew that he really had gained an ability to discern jade.
As long as this ability existed, he would never lack jade in the future.
Although a hundred million dollars was also very attractive to Peter, he knew his path and how to walk it.
He wanted to tread a path that no one had taken before.
The demand for resources in cultivation was enormous, and only by setting up a Spiritual Gathering Array could he continuously grow the herbs he needed and advance to higher levels.
Looking at the cut jade, Peter calculated that once this piece was cut, he would have enough jade for his formation.
“I’m sorry, I’m not selling.”
Peter directly rejected Maisy’s proposal.
“You’ve ruined it.
Otherwise, I could offer you two hundred million dollars.”
Maisy looked at Peter and said.
