Chapter 8: The Missing Corner Inkstone
Zhang Lin left after listening to these words, and at this time Du Xiu's scene had already been filmed.
Lin Rui just stood there and waited for everyone's scenes to finish filming before leaving the crew.
As soon as Lin Rui returned to the hotel, a text message that the salary had been received was sent to his mobile phone. This money can be regarded as the solution to his current economic crisis, but it is estimated that he will fall into another economic crisis in a few days.
Lin Rui had checked the price of jade on the Internet before, and the better the jade, the more expensive the price. But in the same way, the higher the aura it contains. He wasn't sure what price he needed without seeing it in person.
However, there is no jade seller in Hengdian, but there is an antique street.
There are a lot of vendors in the antique street, and most of the goods they sell are fake, and if you are lucky, you can also come across a few real things. However, it's more about making ends meet.
After having lunch on the street, Lin Rui left the hotel and walked towards the antique street.
There is a lot of traffic in the antique street, and the sound of selling and bargaining can be heard everywhere. After Lin Rui came here, he stopped at each stall for a while and scanned some of the "antiques" on the stall.
Lin Rui can't identify whether the antique is real or fake, but he can feel the "qi" on the antique.
Items that have been in a long time will be contaminated with different gases because of the years. If a cultivator can clearly see the color and concentration of these qi after using the exercises.
Older normal items will have gray gas on top, and magic artifacts will have white gas. If it is a magic weapon, black gas will appear.
The current Lin Rui can only be regarded as half a cultivator, so he can only feel whether these items have zĂ i qi or not, and he can't see the color of these qi.
Lin Rui has already passed through five stalls. The items of the five stalls are stunned without a trace of storage zĂ i. Until he came to the sixth stall.
Lin Rui looked at the inkstone with a missing corner in his hand, and couldn't tell what this thing was.
From this inkstone, he clearly felt a breath of air. But this qi is too strong, not like an ordinary item at all, more like an item in the cultivation realm. But if it was a magic weapon, he should be able to feel it in his hand, but he didn't feel it now.
"Do you want to, don't get in the way of my business here." The hawker stall owner rolled his eyes at Lin Rui and said unceremoniously. In his opinion, Lin Rui would not take a fancy to this thing at all. You didn't see him pass by the five stalls just now, and they all returned empty-handed. It's weirdly dressed, but I didn't expect it to be so picky.
"How much does this cost?" Lin Rui didn't mind what the vendor thought of him at all, he just decided to buy this thing back and study it.
"Five thousand." When the peddler saw that he had been looking at the inkstone, he thought that business was coming. Then the tone became cheerful, and the initial impatience was completely lost.
"Fifty." Lin Rui continued without thinking about it.
"What a robbery you have! Whose antiques are you buying for fifty dollars?!! No, no, no! â
didn't hear the hawker say that he wouldn't sell it, Lin Rui knew that there was a play. He handed the inkstone to the vendor and pointed to the missing corner, "What antique have you seen, and this gap is still intact after hundreds of years?" â
"This, this is what I accidentally fell before! Yes, that's it! The peddler made an excuse for himself, and said confidently.
"Let me ask you, have you ever seen something that has been put down for hundreds of years and then only lost a corner?" Lin Rui didn't wait for the hawker to answer before continuing: "Is it for sale or not?" Don't sell it. After saying that, he put down the inkstone and made a look of leaving.
"Oh, wait!" The vendor called out to Lin Rui, frowned and said, "I came here for the first time today, and I worked hard to set up a stall here, you can't help but let me make some money." Do you say I'm easy, don't give me a hundred dollars? â
As soon as Lin Rui wanted to bargain, he vaguely heard the sound of an inkstone in the distance.
"Now, a hundred dollars, no need to look for it." Lin Rui handed the vendor a hundred yuan and said generously.
Hawker: "...... I regret it, give me two hundred lines qaq"
Lin Rui looked at him with a smile, "What do you say?" â
"Okay, okay, a hundred dollars were sold to you." After the vendor finished speaking, he handed the inkstone to Lin Rui, and got the hundred yuan to make a sad statement, "I lost." â
"Well, you're at a loss." Lin Rui took the inkstone in his hand, looked at the man who hurried over on the side, and said with a smile: "If you are late again, it is estimated that you will be able to sell it at a high price." â
"Huh?" The peddler didn't react until a man in a suit ran up to him, panting and asking him if he had an inkstone with a missing corner. He pointed at Lin Rui a little stunned, "Gang, he just bought it." â
"Can you show me?" The man looked at the inkstone in Lin Rui's hand and asked.
Lin Rui did not refuse, and directly handed over the inkstone to the man. After seeing the man's increasingly excited look, he directly took back the inkstone.
"How much did you buy it? I'll pay ten times the price for yours! The man said to Lin Rui very firmly.
"Ten times? Not sold. Lin Rui said indifferently.
"Then you can make a price, 200,000? Half a million? When the man finished speaking, the vendor standing next to him burst into tears. One hundred dollars to five hundred thousand...... He finally knew what time was money!
"This inkstone is not worth the price, even if it is a little older." Unless it's a magic weapon or a magic weapon.
"My old man likes it." The man didn't explain it, as if it were the truth.
"I won't change any amount of money you take." Lin Rui looked at the people gathered around him and frowned, "Can you talk in another place?" â
"Okay, no problem." The man swallowed the irritability in his heart and replied.
The two went to a coffee shop, ordered a cup of coffee, and started talking about it.
"Let me explain in advance, I won't sell this inkstone." Lin Rui picked up the coffee, took a sip and said, "But you can replace it with the rest." â
"What do you want? Status? Woman? â
"You think too much," Lin Rui looked at the man carefully, and found that this person's appearance was still good, but he was a little sick, no wonder he couldn't run two steps. "You can trade the jade with me. It doesn't have to be very expensive, and you can do it without merit. â
"No problem." The man responded, "When will the exchange?" â
"If you have one on you, you can do it now." Lin Rui said with a smile.
"No problem." After the man finished speaking, he called and gave the address. After hanging up the phone, he looked at Lin Rui, who was drinking coffee, and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will snatch the inkstone?" â
"Of course I'm afraid." Lin Rui put down the coffee, picked up the inkstone and observed it, and then said, "But you are here, I don't think they dare to do anything." What if I accidentally hurt you? By the way, what's your name? â
"Zhao Xiang, what about you?"
"Lin Rui."
"Do you know Zhang Lin?" Zhao Xiang frowned and asked.
Hearing this, Lin Ruicai carefully observed Zhao Xiang, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Zhang Lin to have a good eye this time, and he found a good one." â
The other party didn't expect Lin Rui to say this sentence at all, and he was choked directly. "How do you know my relationship with him?"
Lin Rui said without raising his head: "Guess." "I can hear Zhang Lin's name and think that he is still rich, who else can he be?
Zhao Xiang: "I didn't expect you to react like this. â
Zhao Xiang originally wanted to continue, but when the person who delivered the things arrived, he stopped.
"You decide for yourself" Zhao Xiang handed Lin Rui the jade he was riding in a wooden box in his hand, and asked him to decide how much to take.
When Lin Rui opened the box, he felt the oncoming aura. These jades have jadeite nephrite, I didn't expect Zhao Xiang's subordinates to be so considerate.
Feeling the different concentrations of aura in the box, Lin Rui began to carefully select them.
Lin Rui originally thought that the mutton fat jade had the most aura, but he didn't expect that the strongest aura was the unprocessed jade. And although the aura of those processed small pieces of mutton fat jade is also good, it is still not as good as the unprocessed coarse jade.
Lin Rui stopped selecting four pieces of unprocessed jade, and gave the inkstone to Zhao Xiang very neatly. Although he wanted to take it all at once, he also knew that the inkstone was far less than that.
"Don't pick more?" Zhao Xiang looked at the jade selected by Lin Rui and said with some surprise.
"No, that's enough." Although the aura was not enough for him to break through the qi training period at one time, it was still enough to set up a spirit gathering array.
"You're an interesting person." Zhao Xiang got the inkstone, and picked out a piece of mutton fat jade from the box and handed it to him, "It's our meeting gift." â
Lin Rui naturally took over the mutton fat jade, as the so-called don't be in vain. With his current worth, he couldn't afford to buy high-grade jade, so he would be stupid to refuse.
The transaction was completed to the satisfaction of both parties. After that, the two parted ways.
Lin Rui took the jade and returned to the hotel. After collecting the jade, he continued to remove impurities from his body.
Now is not the best time to impact the Qi training period, not to mention that the impurities in your body have not been completely cleaned up. Just said that it will take two or three hours to impact the qi training period, and he will go to the crew to film tomorrow, and there is no time at all.
Lin Rui's excretion of impurities this time was much less than the previous few times, which showed that the impurities in his body had been almost discharged, and he would soon be able to absorb and accumulate spiritual qi and reach the qi training period at one time.
