The jade trading market in Jiangnan City is very large, famous throughout the country, and almost all grades of jade in China are concentrated. In the large and small jade shops in the market, there are all kinds of pendants, ornaments, jade pendants, pendants, etc., which are dazzling and dizzying.

Sha Bai got out of the taxi and walked towards a jade shop called "Gu Yun" in the market. He's been here a few times and knows it very well.

For more than half a month, Tan Fei has not appeared. The Secret Service's tense nerves seemed to relax a little. Every daytime, other special service members are catching up on sleep, and Sha Bai has nothing to do, so he comes to visit the jade market. As usual, his main purpose was to buy jade plaques for making zuò jade talismans.

Sha Bai can no longer refine the spiritual power in the spirit stone. Gray Shadow told him very frankly that he had sealed the spiritual power in the spirit stone. Sha Bai was a little frustrated, but there was no other way. It was impossible for him to give up spiritual cultivation. So he had to start thinking about the alternative that Gray Shadow gave him, the Spirit Gathering Array.

The thing that looks like a light cluster is the cultivation material that Gray Shadow taught to Sha Bai, and in addition to the Spirit Gathering Array, there is also a set of exercises called "Humble Fire Determination". Sha Bai can't bother to study "clumsy fire determination" for the time being, and gathering aura is the top priority at present. He carefully studied the methods of the Spirit Gathering Array. The simplest Spirit Gathering Array consists of five Spirit Gathering Jade Talismans. The spirit talisman needs to be made of jade plates, which is a square stone plate polished with jade. Draw the pattern of the spirit gathering talisman on the jade plate, and the spirit gathering jade talisman will be made.

That's why Sha Bai went to the jade trading market to buy jade plates.

Drawing a spiritual talisman on a jade plaque requires a spiritual cultivator to invoke the spiritual power in his body and devote his whole body to the depiction, which requires repeated practice and cannot be achieved overnight.

Moreover, the discarded jade plaque will be shattered into a pile of stone powder, which can no longer be used. Every time he practiced, Sha Bai had to use up more than a dozen jade cards, and he was bitter about the high price of jade cards.

The most common jade jade plaque is hundreds of pieces each, and if it is a high-quality jade such as Kunlun or Hetian, a jade plate will cost tens of thousands. Sha Bai has been in class for more than a year, and he has saved more than 60,000 yuan. I bought the jade card a few times, and I have spent nearly half of it. The dozens of jade cards I bought a few times ago were all used up, and I had to buy them again today.

Sha Bai was a little skeptical that he could make a Gathering Spirit Jade Talisman before the money was spent.

Walking into the "Ancient Rhyme" jade shop, Boss He in the store saw Sha Bai and greeted him with a smile. After coming here a few times, Sha Bai has become a regular customer in the store.

"Mr. Sha, are you still here to buy a jade plate today?" asked Boss He with a smile.

"Yes, it's still the same as last time, five hundred yuan, buy ten yuan today, no, fifteen yuan. Sha Bai gritted his teeth and decided to buy a few more.

"Ah, that's the kind of thing, it's really unfortunate, it's sold out" Boss He said a little apologetically, "Now in the store, there are only She Taicui, Kunlun jade, Hetian jade, these jade brands."

"Huh?" Sha Bai was stunned, the unit price of each of the several jade plates that Boss He said was almost more than five thousand, and he couldn't afford it at all.

"Then I'll look elsewhere. Sha Bai was disappointed and wanted to turn around and go out.

Five hundred yuan a piece, is the price he and Boss He have been talking about for a long time, and guaranteed that the purchase quantity will be relatively large, only to get the preferential price, if you go to other places to buy, it is estimated that it will be a little more expensive, and it will cost more money.

"Wait a minute, guest officer. Do you have no money in your pocket, or do you not like the things of the shop?" Sha Bai was about to step out of the door when a cheerful and somewhat playful voice suddenly came from behind the counter. Sha Bai looked back, and a girl in a red dress walked out of a room behind the counter, with a face like a full moon and crooked eyebrows, smiling at him, her eyes full of surprise and excitement.

"Ye Ning, why are you here?" Sha Bai looked surprised.

"Why can't I be here? This is my shop, I'm the proprietress of the house. Ye Ning jumped out of the counter, walked up to Sha Bai, grabbed his arm, and stuck out his tongue playfully. "I have to ask you, why did you suddenly appear like magic, did you come to see me?"

Boss He next to him looked at the two of them, smiled slightly, turned his head and walked back to the counter to greet the other guests.

Ye Ning took Sha Bai to a reception room on the second floor of the jade shop and poured him tea.

Sha Bai briefly explained the reason for coming to Jiangnan City.

"Lin Fei, she, actually disappeared at the airport?" Ye Ning opened his mouth in surprise.

"Yes, that's it. I came this time in the hope that I could help the police catch the knife man named Tan Fei and get some clues about Lin Fei. Sha Bai said with a wry smile.

"Oh, poor girl, I hope she's all right. Ye Ning sighed.

"What about you, didn't you say that you went to teach at Jiangnan University, why did you come here to be the boss lady again?" Sha Bai asked Ye Ning.

"I'm teaching, and I only occasionally come to see the jade shop when I have time. By the way, I'm already an associate professor, classmate Sha, I will be honest when I see you in the future, and I will be called Mr. Ye. Ye Ning made a blank slate at the sand and made a fierce look.

"Please, eldest sister, think about it carefully, since the two of us met, when will I dare to be dishonest in front of you?"

"Well, that's right. Ye Ning had a look of nostalgia on his face, and then couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Tell me, what kind of jade plate do you want? How much do you want? Ye Ning finished laughing, and asked Sha Bai seriously.

"Well, it's just the kind of ordinary jade plate I bought from Boss He a few times ago. It's probably a few dozens. ”

"Dozens of dollars? Why do you want so much? Are you planning to go back to Linhai to open a jade shop? That kind of ordinary jade plate, although cheap, is not much oily and water. It's better to make Hetian jade, it looks a little more expensive, but the profit is also big. Ye Ning looked at Sha Bai with a little curiosity.

"I'm not opening a jade shop, I'm going to, I want that, I want that, that, it's useful!" Sha Bai didn't say anything for a long time. If he told him about making the Spirit Gathering Talisman, Ye Ning would definitely think that he had a fever. Sha Bai didn't want the eldest sister to laugh at him, but he didn't think of making up any nonsense for a while.

"Okay, I don't want to say it, forget it! What kind of can you have! It's still mysterious! Anyway, don't you use it to deceive the little girl! Dozens of yuan, how many girls do you have to deceive here?!" Ye Ning looked at Sha Bai's face hesitant and stopped, and snorted a little dissatisfied, "I'll let them buy it immediately, and I can give it to you next week, okay." ”

Sha Bai hurriedly nodded and made a sincere smile, "Yes, yes, thank you boss!

"Eight-fold?!Sha, you are too unambitious. Ye Ning leaned over and made a charming face, and his face was almost on his white face. "If you are willing to come here to be a boss, all the jade in this shop, as well as me, the proprietress, can be given away for free. ”

Sha Bai sweated profusely, hurriedly sat back for a while, and then made a demented child's face, coughing, "Xiaosheng is still young, can't be frightened, sister, please respect yourself." ”

Ye Ning, who looked annoyed and angry, picked up a magazine next to the table and slapped Sha Bai on his head fiercely.

When Ye Ning drove Sha Bai back to the hotel, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon, and the special service personnel in charge of the night shift had already begun to gather in the hotel lobby.

Yang Hao looked at Ye Ning, who was driving away, and asked Sha Bai a little curiously: "Your friend?"

"Well, senior sister from college. Sha Bai nodded.

"It's beautiful. Yang Hao praised, "Friend or girlfriend?"

"Girlfriend?" Sha Bai smiled. "This sister, you haven't seen her wielding a knife and a gun. If this girlfriend is left at home, you won't even dare to put a kitchen knife in the kitchen. ”
