While Xiao Ping introduced abalone fry, he also stocked a batch of pearl oysters into the sea of the demon refining pot. Over time, the abalone fry have grown into one abalone and two abalones, and began to create wealth for Xiao Ping. And because Xiao Ping is not familiar with the jewelry industry at all, the pearl oyster still grows quietly in the shallow sea, and it has almost been forgotten by Xiao Ping. This time, Liu Li arrogantly provoked Zhang Yuxin, but reminded Xiao Ping that there were still these treasures in the demon refining pot.

Xiao Ping knew very well in his heart that although Zhang Yuxin looked calm and light on the surface, he actually attached great importance to this gambling contract. As a man, of course, he couldn't watch his woman being bullied by others, and after dealing with other more urgent matters, Xiao Ping immediately began to salvage pearls.

Most of the pearls sold on the market today are cultured, and only a small percentage are naturally formed. Artificially cultured pearls must first be implanted in the mantle membrane of the pearl oyster, and then the pearl oyster is placed in the cage to raise, and when the time comes, the cage is directly scooped up, and the pearl oyster can be obtained by cutting open the pearl.

Naturally-occurring pearls are very difficult to obtain, requiring divers to go to the bottom of the ocean to find large enough pearl oysters and then salvage them out of the water.

Finding and salvaging pearl oysters at the bottom of the sea can be very difficult. Conditions in the sea can change rapidly, as well as predators and other dangers, such as sharks, poisonous fish and jellyfish, which can take the lives of divers.

Even in calm conditions, it is not easy to find pearl oysters on the bottom of the sea. An experienced diver can catch about 100 pearl oysters after a full day's work. In addition, the pearl yield of wild pearl oysters is extremely low, and it is very likely that they are among the pearl oysters that have been caught all day long. It's not uncommon to not find even a single pearl, so natural pearls are much more expensive than cultured pearls.

The pearl oysters in the Demon Refining Pot grow entirely in the wild. The pearls they produce can be called natural pearls at all. Xiao Ping wanted to catch these pearl oysters, and he didn't have to dive to the bottom of the sea to work hard like everyone else. Instead, there are more convenient and labor-saving methods.

Xiao Ping walked into knee-deep water, concentrating on controlling the pearl oysters in the nearby area, and ordered the mollusks to move closer to him.

As he used his mental power to control the creatures in the demon refining pot more and more times, Xiao Ping's use of this ability became more and more proficient. Originally, Xiao Ping had to stay quiet for a long time to concentrate before he could control the creatures in the pot, but now he only needed a dozen seconds to do the same thing.

Unlike abalone, which crawls on gastropods, pearl oysters have two hard shells and live on rocks with their silk feet, so they don't move much. However, pearl oysters can quickly open and close two shells. This allows you to move quickly for a distance in the seawater.

Not long after Xiao Ping concentrated, through the clear water, he could see that pearl oysters were gathering one by one. These pearl oysters violently opened and closed their double shells, like butterflies in the water, "flying" in the direction of Xiao Ping.

In a short period of time, forty or fifty pearl oysters gathered at the bottom of the sea around Xiao Ping.

Pearl oysters live in the demon refining pot, and the speed of growth is naturally needless to say. Although it has only been raised for a short period of more than a year, the smallest pearl oysters are already the size of a large plate, and the largest ones have grown larger than a basin. At least it weighs dozens of pounds, and an ordinary person really can't move it.

Fortunately, for Xiao Ping, the weight of dozens of catties is nothing. He put all the pearl oysters into the basket he had brought in beforehand, and dragged the large basket slowly ashore. In just a few moments, Xiao Ping had already caught dozens of pearl oysters. Compared to divers in the outer world. His efficiency is simply astonishing.

Dozens of pearl oysters weighed hundreds of pounds, because they lost their buoyancy after leaving the water, and the basket containing the pearl oysters immediately sank into the beach. But this is not a problem for Xiao Ping. He dragged the basket away from the sea, and found a place on the beach to start collecting pearls.

Before stocking these pearl oysters. Xiao Ping stole the technique he learned and planted a pearl nucleus in each pearl bay. But this is the first time he has raised pearls. I don't dare to guarantee that my bead technique will be successful. So at this time, Xiao Ping was also a little nervous in anticipation, and couldn't wait to know if there were any pearls in these pearl bells.

"If you fail, you'll have to spend a lot of money to find the best pearls. Xiao Ping muttered to himself, then pulled out the dagger he had brought with him and stabbed it fiercely into the gap between the two shells of the pearl oyster.

This pearl oyster weighs more than a dozen catties, and the gap between the shells is narrow to the thickness of only a few pieces of paper, but Xiao Ping can accurately pierce the dagger into it, and this eyesight and hand strength are not something ordinary people can do.

Xiao Ping used a dagger to cut a circle along the shell, completely separating the flesh from the shell, and then with a little force, the pearl oyster was completely opened.

Protected by a hard shell, it is a pale pink soft shell. At this time, the pearl oyster was not yet dead, the shell meat was still writhing slightly, and a stream of salty water squirted out, almost drenching Xiao Ping's head and face.

However, Xiao Ping couldn't care about these at this time, he used a dagger to carefully explore between the flesh and shells, and at the same time muttered to himself a little nervously: "What about the pearl, come out quickly......"

Xiao Ping, who was diving pearls for the first time, was completely inexperienced. Not only do I not know if there are pearls in the shells of the Langdao shells, but I also don't know where the pearls will grow in the pearl oysters, so I can only patiently look for them little by little. Fortunately, the hard work paid off, and Xiao Ping's patience finally paid off. When the dagger poked under the shellfish, it finally came across a smooth hard object.

The round feeling made Xiao Ping feel refreshed, and he involuntarily blurted out: "There is!"

Afraid that the sharp tip of the knife would scratch the pearl, Xiao Ping hurriedly threw the dagger aside, and regardless of the fishy and sticky flesh, he directly touched the pearl with his fingers.

Xiao Ping groped in the pearl bay with three fingers, and because he had determined the approximate location, he easily touched the pearl. The smooth and round feeling came from his fingertips, and it immediately put his hanging heart down. As long as the pearl oyster can produce pearls, there is no need to worry too much about the quality, how bad can the things produced in the demon refining pot be?

Although he hadn't seen the pearl yet, the feeling from his hand told Xiao Ping that this pearl was really not small. He carefully scooped the pearl out of the shell and was pleasantly surprised to find that it was the size of a thumb. Xiao Ping ran to the beach to wash off the shellfish and other dirty things on the pearls, and finally could see its true face of Lushan.

Although as a man, Xiao Ping didn't have too special feelings for things like jewelry, but at this time, he couldn't help but praise in a low voice: "It's so beautiful!"

This is a white pearl with a slight hint of pink, about a centimeter in diameter, which can be considered a large pearl. Xiao Ping put the pearl in the flat-bottomed tray he brought and rolled, and a very uniform sound could be heard, indicating that the shape of the pearl was almost perfect spherical, which is also the legendary "walking bead".

The most striking thing about this pearl is its luster. The pearl exudes a soft luster throughout, and this delicate fluorescence seems to emerge from the inside of the pearl, and then forms a distinct halo on the surface, giving people a feeling of reluctance to look away. Xiao Ping had never seen such a delicate and soft luster on other objects, which simply gave him the illusion of being dazzled.

Xiao Ping also checked the standard of good pearls on the Internet before, and knew that the quality of a pearl can basically be judged by the four points of luster, size, shape and color, of which luster is the most important criterion. The luster of this pearl is so charming, even Xiao Ping, who is a layman, can be sure that this is indeed a high-quality pearl.

Xiao Ping, who had won the first battle, was greatly encouraged and immediately went back to look for other pearls. Although in order to ensure the quality of pearls, Xiao Ping only planted one pearl in each pearl shell, but considering that there is also the possibility of natural formation of pearls, it is still necessary to look carefully.

After a few minutes of searching, Xiao Ping was sure that there were no other pearls in this pearl oyster, so he turned his attention to the next pearl oyster.

The second pearl oyster was larger than the first, Xiao Ping accurately pried open the pearl oyster and soon found a pearl. Unlike the first white pearl, this is a large, round black pearl. Despite the fact that pearls are black, they also have an attractive luster. Compared to white pearls, black pearls have a bit of an alluring mystery in their luster. The luster of this black pearl is so deep that it almost draws the eye away, and it is no wonder that it is worth much more than other pearl colors.

Xiao Ping was greatly satisfied with the harvest from the two pearl oysters, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "If the pearl oysters in the sea can produce such pearls, not only can they slap Liu Li's woman in the face, but also make the buddy make a lot of money!"

Although Xiao Ping was very happy in his heart, his subordinates were not idle, and quickly cut open the remaining pearl oysters. These pearl oysters did not disappoint him, and pearls could be found in almost every shell, and among those particularly large pearl oysters, Xiao Ping even found more than one pearl.

All of these pearls are as small as a centimeter in diameter and as large as a pigeon's egg, and all of them are very lustrous, round-shaped pearls, about half white and half black. Dozens of these pearls were put together, each with its own distinctive luster reflecting each other, which made Xiao Ping stare at them for a long time before reluctantly looking away.

"These pearls are so beautiful!" Xiao Ping exclaimed sincerely, and then looked at the shells and flesh on the beach and became worried.

Pearl oysters are grown in demon refining pots, and it's a waste to throw away shells and flesh casually. Xiao Ping thought about it for a while, and soon found their own uses for these things. (To be continued......)
