Chapter 20 Mutton Fat White Jade = Spirit Stone?

Previous Chapter

Back at the hotel, lying on the bed, the zodiac couldn't help it and entered the space again. He threw himself on the pile of gold bars, rolled a few times, grabbed a few gold bars with both hands, jumped and jumped, and cheered for a long time. When his mood calmed down a little, he sat down on the pile of gold bars, thinking about what to do with them. Sell it as an antique, who will collect such a large amount? When it is sold to a bank as ordinary gold, how can the source be explained?

Huang Dao thought for a while, and couldn't think of any safe and effective method for the time being. He thought, anyway, he is not short of money now, so these treasures should be kept in his own space first, and then talk about it when he really needs it. So, the zodiac withdrew from space and went back to bed.

……

Over the next few days, the zodiac repeated the previous night's activities, and by 4 a.m. on the sixth day, the earth and stone needed for the replacement had finally been completed.

On the seventh day of coming to Ruili, in the morning, Huang Dao made a phone call to the owner of the warehouse near Yucheng, telling him that the warehouse was not renewed, and the key was placed on the ground on the right side of the door, and he asked him to get it himself. Then, Huang Dao left Ruili, took a car, then a plane, and then a car, and finally came to Jieyang, Guangdong at noon the next day.

There are three main jade markets in Jieyang, Yangmei Jade Capital, Qiao Nan International Jade Center and Guqiao White Jade Market. People are simply called Yangmei, Jonan, and Josie. Yangmei concentrates on jade, Josie focuses on white jade, and Jonan has both. Some other jade markets in China are relatively simple, such as Henan is mainly made of white jade, while Pingzhou is simply made of jadeite. Jieyang gathers both jadeite and white jade, which makes it more convenient and better for customers.

Jieyang Yangmei Village, used to be a small village of thousands of households, this small village located in Jieyang, Guangdong Province does not produce jade, how can a place that does not produce jade as an industry to do jade, and even has the title of "China's Jade Capital" and even "Asia's Jade Capital"?

At the beginning of the last century, some villagers in Yangmei used their spare time to buy old jade for processing, which can be said to be the beginning of Jieyang jade. In the following half century, jade was processed by hand, which became a source of income for Yangmei farmers to subsidize their families. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the number of villagers who joined the ranks of jade carving in Yangmei gradually increased, and the family workshop was initially formed. After the reform and opening up, there were gradually more family workshops. As more and more villagers join the ranks of jade carving, coupled with Guangdong, as the forefront of reform and opening up, the economic development is very fast, and Yangmei jade carving has developed rapidly.

Jieyang is based on jadeite to start, to now, every year, more than seventy percent of the high-end jadeite raw materials produced in Myanmar flow to Yangmei, and more than 90% of the domestic high-end jadeite are processed by Yangmei!

Yang Meiyu is more famous, because it rose relatively early (of course, things are expensive now), and their planning is a bit messy.

Qiao Nan Jade Center is run by Qiao Nan Village, Qiao Nan Village in 08 financial tsunami in order to be able to do it, dare to all store rents are only 20% as support, the achievement of today's Jieyang jade three-legged "Qiao Nan International Jade Center". Very bold. Now the planning of this market is better, after all, it is a rising star, the price of things is real, and the equipment is relatively perfect.

Josie's Guqiao white jade market is both public and private, but it is mainly white jade, not jadeite, and it is best to make white jade! Their scale is not as large as that of Yangmei and Qiao Nan.

After lunch, Huang Dao thought about it, because he had seen many jadeite jade stones in Ruili without aura, so Yang Meiyu, which specializes in jadeite, would not go, and he planned to go to Josie Market, which mainly focuses on white jade.

In Jieyang, people call the Hetian jade market not "Hetian jade market", but "white jade market". When Huang Dao came to Josie's Market, he saw that the streets were full of jade processing workshops, and some of the facades that looked inconspicuous on the outside, but when he walked in, he found that there were many treasures with very high prices.

Jieyang is the processing and distribution center of Russian white jade, mainly based on Russian materials, supplemented by jasper. It can be said that Jieyang people have made Russian materials to the extreme. Most of the shops and stalls on the main road of Josie Market are Russian. Of course, there are other ingredients, but relatively rarely. Huang Dao visited many shops and looked at many Russian materials, but he still did not find jade containing aura.

When Huang Dao was a little disappointed, he accidentally walked into a jade shop that sold Hetian jade, and when he habitually scanned the jade in the store with his mental power, he suddenly found that there was a jade pendant containing some kind of energy in a counter in the store. Huang Dao has never seen a spirit stone, so he can't be sure if this is a spirit stone for the time being. But his spirits were lifted, and he walked to the counter and detailed a large number of jade pendants. I saw that its color was mutton fat white, the color like mutton fat, and it was a white with a strong oil luster, and its halo was slightly yellowish. Moreover, this piece of jade can observe a layer of powder mist under the light in the store, giving people a sense of powder mist. After the approval of the store, the zodiac took it to his hand and played it carefully, and it felt excellent and quite delicate. Huang Dao secretly and carefully absorbed a trace of the energy in the jade pendant, and it felt the same as the aura he usually absorbed. Suddenly, Huang Dao was sure that this was the spirit stone.

The shopkeeper explained on the side: This jade pendant is made of Hetian mutton fat white jade. Hetian jade can be divided into mutton fat white jade, white jade, green and white jade, green jade, topaz, sugar jade, jasper, and black jade according to the color; According to the production status, it can generally be divided into: seed material, mountain material, mountain water and Gobi material.

Hetian jade is produced in the Kunlun Mountains mountain rocks at an altitude of 3,500 meters to 5,000 meters above sea level, stretching for 1,500 kilometers.

Mountain material: mined from primary ore deposits, it is block-shaped, irregular, angular, non-rounded and crusty.

Mountain water material: the jade material of residual slope accumulation or glacier stain naturally stripped from the primary ore deposit, which is generally close to the primary ore, sub-angular, with poor roundness, usually with a thin skin shell and large blocking.

Seed material: Naturally stripped from the primary mine, the jade material transported to the river through weathering is often ovate, round, smooth surface, good roundness, and some "seed jade" contains "rice infiltration" in the muscle, which is one of the texture characteristics of aquatic white jade; Some of them have been soaked in water and sand for a long time with various colored skins. Due to the long-term erosion and collision, only the delicate texture, compact structure can be retained, this "seed jade" fine, warm, lustrous such as fat, so the seed material quality is good, better than mountain material, extremely rare.

Since the implementation of Xinjiang's policy of closing mines and protecting mountains, the best Xinjiang seed raw stones are often tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of kilograms, and the excellent ones are more than one million and have no market. Especially Xinjiang mutton fat jade, it is difficult to find among the people, and most of the market is made of Russian white jade mountain materials. And this jade pendant is carved from authentic Xinjiang Hetian mutton fat white jade seeds, the price is 588 8888 yuan RMB, and the bargain is refused.

For the sake of this rare aura, the zodiac doesn't care whether the price is expensive or not. Without saying a word, I started to go through the transaction-related procedures and transfer money with the store owner.

After buying this jade pendant, Huang Dao did not rush to leave. The shopkeeper made tea to entertain Huang Dao, and while drinking tea, Huang Dao asked the shopkeeper if he had a similar jade with the texture of Hetian mutton fat white jade?

The shopkeeper has done this big business today, and he has not opened for three years, but he has been open for three years. He was very happy, and replied truthfully that there was indeed no authentic Hetian mutton fat white jade in the store, and there were few people selling it on the market at present. The shopkeeper brought other Hetian white jade to show Huang Dao and asked him if he was interested.

Huang Dao took it in his hand and played with it carefully, but he didn't feel any aura, so he handed it back, indicating that he was not interested in this kind of white jade.

Huang Dao asked for some information about Hetian mutton fat white jade, and the shopkeeper also explained to Huang Dao in detail:

Xinjiang Hetian jade is mainly distributed in the Kunlun Mountains and Altun Mountains under the jurisdiction of Xinjiang. From Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County in Kashgar Prefecture in the west, through Hotan in the middle, to Jimo and Ruoqiang County in Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture in the east, to the edge of the Tarim Basin in the north, and to the main peak of Kunlun Mountain and Altun Mountain in the south, the total length is about 1300 kilometers, the width is about 80~150 kilometers, and the geographical scope includes 3 prefectures and a total of 14 counties and cities. The Hetian Yu metallogenic belt is more than 1,100 kilometers long. On the high mountains, there are primary deposits and mines of Hetian jade. It is mainly distributed in 11 places such as Hotan, Kashgar, Kezhou, and Manas.

The Hotan River in Xinjiang has two sources: one is the Karakash River, which originates in the north of the Karakoram Mountains. The second is the Yulong Kashgar River, which originates on the northern slope of Kunlun Mountain. The two rivers are important production areas of Hetian jade in Xinjiang. Among the two rivers, the jade dragon Kashgar River produces the most jade, and the jade produced is the top grade and the best in Hetian jade, so it is also called the white jade river. Most of the jade produced by the Karakash River is green jade, green and white jade, blue and white jade, and black jade, and also produces a small amount of jasper, but the white jade produced is very small, and the texture and price of jade are far inferior to the white jade produced by the Yulong Kashgar River.

After listening to the shopkeeper's explanation, Huang Dao secretly planned to go to Hotan, Xinjiang in a few days, and secretly went to find mutton fat white jade containing aura at night. After a few more cups of tea, Huang Dao said goodbye to the shopkeeper. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that it was still early to visit a few more shops around here to see if he could buy Hetian mutton fat white jade again.

Walking out of the store, he slowly walked forward as he began to scan with his telekinesis. It took some time for Huang Dao to scan more than 30 similar pieces of jade with the texture of Xinjiang Hetian mutton fat white jade with energy fluctuations. These jade divisions were located in several nearby jade shops, and Huang Dao spent several hours buying twenty-eight pieces of mutton fat jade. This total of twenty-eight pieces of jade cost nearly 100 million RMB, and he didn't feel sorry for the money in his heart. Anyway, the zodiac has telekinesis abilities, so it's very convenient to make money. It's a pity that there are a few pieces, and some stores are reluctant to sell them; Some have already been predetermined; Or maybe the jade belonged to someone else, and it was just sent to the shop to be carved.

Huang Dao saw that it was getting late, so he found a hotel nearby and stayed there. At night, he sat cross-legged on the bed and meditated, holding a piece of jade in each of his left and right hands, and began to absorb the aura in it. After a night of cultivation, Huang Dao woke up in the morning and found that his mental power space had expanded a little, and it seemed that absorbing the aura in the Hetian mutton fat white jade could indeed greatly improve his cultivation progress. The Hetian mutton fat white jade containing the aura should be the legendary spirit stone.
