"This is the qualification to study at the Super Iron King Kong Academy. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" The old madman said lightly, "Only Xuan Ling cultivators who have reached the purple level of the Golden Crow Fa Jue Nebula Stage are qualified to have this post. After taking this post, you are eligible to go to Yujing's Super Iron King Kong Academy to participate in the assessment, and after passing the assessment, you can enter the Super Iron King Kong Academy to study, cultivate a higher level of the Golden Crow Method, and have the opportunity to become a Super Iron King Kong Warrior. ”

Looking at this post, Zhang Bingdong's eyes first showed joy, but in an instant, he seemed to think of something again, and his black and white eyes showed embarrassment.

Seeing Zhang Bingdong's thick eyebrows slanting up, the old madman said in surprise: "Zhang Bingdong, haven't you always longed to go to Yujing, to study at the Super Iron King Kong Academy, and become a Super Iron King Kong warrior, so as to change your identity as an oppressed civilian in one fell swoop?" Five years ago, you came to me and begged me to teach you occult arts. I see that you are quite smart and willing to work hard, so I agreed to teach you occult arts. In the past five years, you have been practicing the Golden Crow Method and exercising every day, isn't it just this qualification certificate? Are you worried that this post is coming from an unknown source? Don't worry, the dean of the town's Occult Academy had a fateful relationship with me back then. This post is what I asked him for, above board, you don't have to worry. ”

"Old madman, I really want to study at Yujing's Super Iron King Kong Academy, but Grandpa Fang's side ......" Zhang Bingdong frowned, "I can't leave him like this......"

Chapter 4: Kindness and Dreams

"Feng'er, eat vegetables, why do you only pick up rice and don't eat vegetables." Fang Shiren sandwiched a piece of meat and put it in Zhang Bingdong's bowl.

"Ahh Zhang Bingdong, who was in a daze, came back to his senses, and took a few bites of rice with slices of meat.

"Feng'er, you are absent-minded at dinner today, and you look preoccupied, do you have something you want to tell me?" Fang Shi looked at Zhang Bingdong kindly.

"I didn't ...... It's okay. Zhang Bingdong lowered his head and took a few more bites of rice.

"Isn't today's cultivation very hard?" Fang Shiren asked again.

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Zhang Bingdong shook his head and took another bite of food, Zhang Bingdong raised his head, "Grandpa......"

"Well, something?" Fang Shiren glanced at Zhang Bingdong.

"I ......" Zhang Bingdong opened his mouth wide and stayed for a long time before he said, "I want to ask, is the business of the teahouse good?" Can you be busy alone? ”

"It's okay, it's all like this, I'm used to it alone anyway."

"Should I tell my grandfather that I'm leaving Yujing?" Looking at Fang Shiren's gray hair on his temples, Zhang Bingdong hesitated.

The Wyvern Empire is an extremely hierarchical imperial state. The son of a construction worker can only become a construction worker and nothing else. And the children of farming farmers can only become a farming farmer when they grow up, and even want to change to growing vegetables, which is not allowed by the strict laws of the empire. Every baby born from the Flying Dragon Empire, from the moment he was born, his profession and his future have been planned by the various detailed legal systems of the empire, and if he wants to live a free life and engage in the profession he likes, it can only be the matter of a noble lord who has no worries about food and clothing, and Zhang Bingdong, as a commoner, cannot have this right.

Under the strict laws of the empire, it is foreseeable that Zhang Bingdong, who was raised by Fang Shiren, should have inherited Fang Shiren's small teahouse and became a small owner of the teahouse, and then he would marry a wife and have children, and his son would continue to run the teahouse left by Fang Shiren......

However, when Zhang Bingdong was nine years old, a small thing happened in the small teahouse, but it completely changed Zhang Bingdong's fate in the future.

On that day, Zhang Bingdong worked in the small teahouse as usual. Because he slept late last night, Zhang Bingdong was not in good spirits that day. As a result, when pouring tea, I accidentally shook my hand, and the hot water poured onto the hands of the second young master, the richest man in Xiangrui Town, and scalded out a big bubble. As a result, Zhang Bingdong was severely beaten by the three servants of the second young master. Fang Shiren, who was kind and cowardly, didn't dare to say anything more, just watched with tears as Zhang Bingdong was seriously injured.

Zhang Bingdong lay on the bed for three months before he could walk, Fang Shiren didn't say anything about this, but just warned Zhang Bingdong to be careful in the future, and don't offend the nobles in the town who come to drink tea and listen to books. Zhang Bingdong was submissive on the surface, and promised Fang Shiren that he would never offend those nobles again in the future, but deep in his heart, he set off a monstrous wave.

He was not convinced.

He was not convinced why the second young master was born with fine clothes and fine food, big fish and meat every day, and three servants to serve, but he could only be a young man in a teahouse, and he had to be busy half to death in order to make a little money; He was not convinced that the second young master could find someone to beat him up if he was unhappy, and if he made a slight mistake, he would be beaten up by someone, and he couldn't resist.

We are all human beings, so why is there such a big difference?

Seeing Fang Shiren bent his back every day, receiving guests with a smiling face, and seeing that the officials and nobles had to bow and grovel in order to make a little money, Zhang Bingdong vaguely saw what he looked like when he was old.

Zhang Bingdong was scared, this was definitely not the life he wanted to live.

Fortunately, in the teahouse, Zhang Bingdong can hear many guests chatting with each other every day after drinking tea, from which he hears a lot of strange things. He learned that in the Wyvern Empire, there is a strange mechanical life called Super Iron Vajra, no matter how poor your background is, but as long as you can get its recognition, combine with it, and become a super Iron Vajra warrior, you can get great power, respected status, prominent reputation, and countless wealth, as well as the favor of countless famous ladies in the empire.

The spring breeze is proud, and once you can see all the jade flowers!

These are two poems that are widely circulated in the Empire, which means that as long as you become a super Iron King Kong warrior, you can dominate the world and enjoy yourself, and even the most delicate flowers of the empire can be seen and picked by you.

Hearing this poem, Zhang Bingdong couldn't help but be moved. That kind of life is the life he hopes to have the most. He began to dream of becoming a super iron king Kong warrior.

However, from those tea guests, Zhang Bingdong learned that it was not easy to become a super iron King Kong warrior. First of all, you must go to the mystical academies in various places and learn a mystical mind method called the "Golden Crow Method" to become a mystical monk. After cultivating to the peak of the first layer of the Golden Crow Technique, you will have the opportunity to go to Yujing, the capital of the Flying Dragon Empire, to take the qualification exam of the Super Iron King Kong Academy. After going through many tests and passing the assessment, you can enter the Super Iron King Kong Academy to study, so that you have the opportunity to become a noble and respected Super Iron King Kong warrior.

However, when Zhang Bingdong went to the Xuanling Academy in Xiangrui Town full of hope and planned to learn Xuanlingshu, he learned that the annual tuition fee of the Xuanling Academy was 100,000 Tenglong coins.

What is the concept of 100,000 dragon coins? For example, the income of the small teahouse run by Fang Shiren is about 100 yuan of Tenglong coins a day, and after deducting the rent of the store, inviting people to come to the book for fun, and all kinds of miscellaneous expenses, the profit of a day is only 30 or 40 yuan of Tenglong coins. Based on this calculation, Fang Shiren's small teahouse, the profit of a month is 1,000 dragon coins, and a year is 12,000 dragon coins, in other words, Zhang Bingdong and Fang Shiren must not eat or drink for eight years and four months before they can make up enough tuition for one year, is this possible?

After knowing that learning occult arts is hopeless, ordinary children may have already given up. But Zhang Bingdong didn't, but turned to think of other ways. For example, if you want to find a way to make more money, you can go to the Xuanling Academy to learn Xuanlingjutsu secretly, but these methods all end in failure.

When he exhausted all kinds of methods, he couldn't learn the occult arts. Zhang Bingdong.0 suddenly remembered the old madman.

The old madman was a frequent visitor to the teahouse, and every morning, he would come to the teahouse for a cup of hangover tea.

The reason why the old madman is called the old madman is because he is always crazy in his daily behavior, and he likes to drink very much, and every time he gets drunk, he always likes to brag about how brilliant he used to be.

Most of the people in the town think of the old madman as a weird one-eyed old man who likes to talk about it. However, after in-depth and detailed observation, Zhang Bingdong has a completely different view from everyone else.

Zhang Bingdong once heard that wine is a poison that pierces the intestines. In general, if you are addicted to alcohol all the year round, your body will easily collapse, and in terms of appearance, you will also show many external characteristics, such as your eyes are usually cloudy, your eye bags will appear puffy, your face will generally turn sallow, and your body will easily become obese.

And when Zhang Bingdong compared the old madman with the average drunkard, he immediately noticed the special feature of the old madman: no matter how much he drank, he didn't seem to be affected. His eyes are always so clear, his appearance is still very slender, his face is still so ruddy, although he is already seventy or eighty years old, his body is still as strong and straight as a young man.

The characteristics of the old madman are very different from ordinary people, so that Zhang Bingdong does not sneer at him like ordinary people, but carefully observes his every move. Sure enough, Zhang Bingdong discovered that the old madman was not an old madman like other people's legends, but a Xuanling monk. What he brags about is actually true, but no one believes it. Zhang Bingdong was overjoyed and found the right opportunity to worship the old madman as a teacher and learn occult arts.

At first, the old madman refused, but he couldn't stand Zhang Bingdong's stalking, and felt that Zhang Bingdong's qualifications were not bad, so he finally agreed to accept him as an apprentice and teach him occult arts.

After several years of hard cultivation, Zhang Bingdong already has the qualifications to participate in the assessment at the Yujing Super Energy Iron King Kong Academy. However, when he was about to tell Fang Shiren the news, when he saw Fang Shiren's gray temples, and when he recalled the look of reluctance in the old maniac's eyes when he said goodbye to the old madman today, Zhang Bingdong hesitated.

"Although I am practicing every day now, I have been doing some trivial things such as cleaning in the teahouse. If I go to Yujing, how can Grandpa Fang be busy alone? What's more, he is already very old and his health is not as good as before, once he is sick and there is no one to take care of him, then what should he do? As the old madman said, becoming a super iron King Kong warrior is a chance of 1 in 100,000, 10 in 200,000, or even 10 in 300,000, should I leave Grandpa Fang who raised me for such an ethereal ideal? However, I have worked hard for a few years to cultivate, and it is not easy for me to practice to the Nebula Purple Rank of the first layer of the Golden Crow Technique, and I have won the opportunity to participate in the assessment in Yujing, if I am asked to give up now, how can I be willing? ”

On the one hand, he is his benefactor, and on the other hand, he is his own dream, Zhang Bingdong thought about it, hesitated, and ate a dinner in Zhang Bingdong's cranky thoughts.

When Zhang Bingdong finished cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks and was about to go to the teahouse to clean up and wipe the tables and chairs, Fang Shiren stopped Zhang Bingdong: "Feng'er, you don't have to go to the teahouse to clean today, sit, I have something to say to you." ”

"What's the matter? Grandpa Fang. Zhang Bingdong sat opposite Fang Shiren.

Fang Shiren took out a bag from under the table and put it in front of Zhang Bingdong: "Come, open it." ”

Zhang Bingdong was stunned, but he still opened the burden as he said, only to see that in the baggage, there was a thick stack of banknotes, and next to the banknotes was a delicate flying dragon jade pendant.

"Your teacherβ€”old madman...... Well, it's Mr. Du, who has already told me about your going to Yujing. I don't have much savings on weekdays, here is 50,000 imperial coins, which is your travel fee to Yujing, although it is not much, but it is already the limit of my ability. Also, this jade pendant was hung around your neck when I picked you up, because this jade pendant is very precious, I am afraid that you didn't understand it when you were a child, and the jade pendant was broken, so I helped you save it, and now, it's time to return it to you. Fang Shiren touched Zhang Bingdong's head and said kindly.

"This, Grandpa Fang......" Looking at the 50,000 imperial coins in front of him, knowing that this was Fang Shiren's savings for more than ten years, Zhang Bingdong's eyes moistened.

Zhang Bingdong sat on the bed and silently looked at the banknotes and jade pendants in the baggage.

Originally, Zhang Bingdong felt that he owed Fang Shiren too much, and the hope of becoming a super iron King Kong warrior was too slim, so he didn't want this money, and even considered leaving Xiangrui Town after doing his filial piety for Fang Shiren. But when Fang Shiren said softly, "Do you think that all the hard work you have been cultivating in the past few years has been in vain?" Zhang Bingdong wavered.

You must know that the cultivation of occult spirit art pays great attention to personal talent. If a mystical monk is not able to reach a certain level of training before the age of sixteen or seventeen, it often means that his future achievements will be very limited.

Among the Xuanling monks of the Flying Dragon Empire today, there is such a saying: "If you can't reach the purple level at the age of seventeen, you will have no hope for the rest of your life." "It means that if a Xuanling cultivator who cultivates the Golden Crow Technique cannot cultivate the Golden Crow Technique to the highest level of the first Nebula Stage, the Purple Rank, before the age of seventeen, it means that it will be basically difficult for this Xuanling Cultivator to make great progress in the future.

And the assessment standard of the Super Iron King Kong Academy is also set at the threshold of seventeen years old. If the Xuanling Cultivator he referred to crossed this age standard, even if he had cultivated to the Golden Crow Dharma Jue Nebula Purple Rank, he would not be able to take the exam.

Zhang Bingdong is fifteen years old this year, and there are only two years left before the age limit set by the Super Iron King Kong Academy, if he can't go to the Super Iron King Kong Academy to take the assessment within these two years, it means that he will forever lose the opportunity to become a Super Iron King Kong Warrior.

Zhang Bingdong thought back to how much hard work he had put in, how much sweat he had shed in order to cultivate Xuanling in the past few years, and even in order to complete the weird and strange cultivation of the old madman, he still had to pretend to be crazy and stupid, silently endure the cynicism of others in front of and behind his back, endure the calls of others little madmen, and endure the teasing of those boring people.

"Today, I heard the old madman explain," Zhang Bingdong recalled what the old madman said today, and thought to himself, "Although there is little chance of becoming a super iron king Kong warrior, with the continuous deepening of the research of the super iron king Kong in today's empire, the empire already has steel king, mecha king, super iron king Kong weapons and branches, as long as I can be admitted to the super iron king Kong academy, even if I can't become a super iron king Kong warrior, I can also be assigned to these branch departments to study, and I also have a good future in the military department after graduation, whether it is identity." , status, and income are far better than being a shopkeeper in a small town. In this case, the 50,000 yuan was regarded as if I borrowed it from Grandpa Fang, and after I graduated from the Super Energy Iron King Kong Academy and found a good job in the military department, I slowly returned the 50,000 yuan to Grandpa Fang. Not only that, but I also want to take Grandpa Fang to Yujing and let him live a good life to repay him for his nurturing kindness. Thinking of this, the guilt in Zhang Bingdong's heart gradually alleviated a lot.

After his mood improved, Zhang Bingdong's attention slowly shifted to the jade pendant next to the banknote, he picked up the jade pendant and carefully studied the shape of the jade pendant.

This is a red jade pendant in the shape of a dragon, the head of the dragon and the tail of the dragon are connected to form a ring, and there are rows of teeth-like manes on the dragon's back, forming the periphery of the jade pendant.

There is a jade shop near Zhang Bingdong's house, and the owner of the jade shop is quite familiar with Fang Shiren. In order to make up enough money to learn Xuanling, Zhang Bingdong once wanted to make more money by digging jade and carving jade, so he once learned some tricks to identify jade from the owner of the jade shop. Later, because he worshipped the old madman as a teacher, this matter naturally came to an end, but Zhang Bingdong also had a little experience in identifying jade, and he was barely a jade expert.

Zhang Bingdong carefully identified the jade quality of Longpei, only to feel that its color is uniform, the color is bright and deep, without the slightest variegation, in terms of color, it is fully in line with the four-character standard of "uniform, yang, thick and positive" of high-grade jade.

Zhang Bingdong repeatedly inspected the texture and transparency of the dragon pendant, and carefully looked for whether there were cracks on the dragon pendant. After confirming that the dragon pendant was flawless, Zhang Bingdong was still not at ease, so he took another drop of water and dripped it on the dragon pendant, seeing that the water droplet formed a dewdrop on the dragon pendant, which did not disperse for a long time, Zhang Bingdong finally exhaled and muttered to himself: "This flying dragon jade pendant is definitely a high-grade jade...... Strange, why did I have such a good piece of jade on me when I was a baby? To have this kind of high-quality jade family, even if it is not a famous family, it should be a well-off family, there should be no problem with raising a small child, how did I become an abandoned baby? Why did my parents abandon me? ”

Although Zhang Bingdong is an orphan, he has been carefully taken care of by Fang Shiren since he was a child, he has not starved or frozen, and he has not suffered much, so he does not resent his biological parents.

"Do they have a last resort? For example, family struggles, such as being hunted down by enemies, ......" Zhang Bingdong couldn't help but think of the legendary stories that storytellers in the teahouse often said.

After thinking for a while and still puzzled, Zhang Bingdong turned his attention back to the dragon pendant, he turned over the dragon pendant, only to see the dragon body on the back, engraved with "Zhang Bingdong" two small cyan characters, Zhang Bingdong suddenly realized in his heart: "No wonder I don't have the surname Fang with Grandpa Fang, it turns out that my name comes from the two words engraved on this dragon pendant...... Hey? ”

Zhang Bingdong only noticed at this time that the jade quality of this dragon pendant was not only excellent, but also very finely carved, and a jade dragon connected from head to end was carved lifelike, but the eyes of this jade dragon were actually closed.

Zhang Bingdong couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart: "Strange, ordinary carvings, in order to make the carved creatures more realistic, all put a lot of effort into the eye part, and strive to make the eyes of the carvings more vibrant." But this Long Pei just ignored the past in the place where he should have worked hard, which is really incomprehensible. ”

ZHANG Bingdong. I suddenly remembered that he was in the teahouse, and he had heard a magical story told by Mr. Storyteller. It is said that there was a great painter who one day painted four lifelike dragons on the wall, and all onlookers were amazed. However, when they looked at the portrait, they found that all four dragons had no eyes. The onlookers were so disappointed that they asked the painter to add the dragon's eyes.

The painter refused at first, proudly saying, "If I draw the eyes of the dragon, the dragon on the wall will break through the wall." The crowd didn't believe him, they thought he was bragging, and insisted that the painter fill in the dragon's eyes. The painter finally resisted the pleas and lit the eyes of the two dragons on the wall. In an instant, lightning and thunder roared, and the two dragons really broke through the wall and flew away into the sky.

"If the jade dragon on this dragon wears opens its eyes, I wonder if it will fly away?" ZHANG Bingdong. Whim.

After playing with the dragon pendant for a while, Zhang Bingdong said in his heart: "I heard Grandpa Fang say that this dragon pendant was with me when I was a baby, and it is likely that it is the basis for recognizing my biological parents in the future, and it must be kept well." Thinking of this, Zhang Bingdong walked to his small wooden cabinet, rummaged through it, and found a red rope from it.

Carefully tied the red rope to Long Pei, Zhang Bingdong put the red rope around his neck, and Long Pei received it in his underwear and stored it closely.

Thinking that he was about to leave Xiangrui Town and go to Yujing, thousands of miles away, Zhang Bingdong was both expectant and melancholy, and he carefully touched every piece of furniture in the bedroom, quite reluctant.

After waking up from his memories, Zhang Bingdong realized that it was not early, so he took off his coat and went to bed. The cultivation during the day was very hard, and Zhang Bingdong soon fell asleep.

Just when Zhang Bingdong was asleep, the dragon pendant attached to Zhang Bingdong's chest suddenly emitted a faint light. The dragon put on the red dragon's eyes, and suddenly opened, revealing a pair of bright dragon eyes. In the agile dragon eyes, a clear red light shot out. The jade dragon on the dragon pendant suddenly opened its mouth, and red light continued to pour out from the dragon's mouth, slowly flowing through Zhang Bingdong's chest, neck, head, and abdomen...... completely embraced Zhang Bingdong's body.

After the red light evenly spread to Zhang Bingdong's whole body, the dragon mouth on the dragon pendant actually followed Zhang Bingdong's breathing, one by one, and the red light distributed throughout Zhang Bingdong's body also expanded and contracted. When Zhang Bingdong exhaled, the red light expanded a little, and when Zhang Bingdong inhaled, the red light shrank a little; The red light that shrouded Zhang Bingdong's whole body rose and closed with Zhang Bingdong's breathing......

Chapter 6 is to trap you

Zhang Bingdong walked on the Suzaku Street, which runs through the north and south of Yujing, just like a countryman entering the city, he couldn't stop looking left and right, and was very excited.

After a long journey, Zhang Bingdong finally came to Yujing, the capital of the Flying Dragon Empire. As long as you pass through Suzaku Street, cross Yujing from south to north, and reach the northern suburbs, you can arrive at the destination of Zhang Bingdong's trip - Super Energy Iron King Kong Academy.

"Good earth boy!" "Where did the rednecks come from?" Walking on Suzaku Street, there will always be a few ridicules in my ears from time to time. Zhang Bingdong looked at the gray cloth clothes on his body, compared with the bright clothes of the Yujing people, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of himself.

Fortunately, when Zhang Bingdong was in Xiangrui Town, he was often called a madman, and his psychological endurance had already been honed to be very tenacious. Moreover, he is still young, and his young heart is still very heavy, and there are many shops on both sides of Suzaku Street, with a wide variety, Zhang Bingdong's attention quickly shifted from the disdainful gaze of passers-by to the dazzling array of goods in the shops.

In front of every store, Zhang Bingdong will stop for a while, look left and right. Especially when he arrived at the jade shop he was most interested in, Zhang Bingdong was even more interested, and couldn't help but stop outside the store and look at the jade in the store.

"What do you see, stinky boy, the hair hasn't grown, do you know jade?" The owner of the jade shop is a lean young man in his twenties, the scale of the shop is very small, but the owner of the shop has a great temper, seeing Zhang Bingdong, a teenager in his teens and old clothes, looking in front of his shop, he immediately felt very angry, glared at the pair of small eyes, and shouted at Zhang Bingdong.

"Who says I don't understand?" Zhang Bingdong swept up his eyebrows obliquely, walked into the shop, and pointed to the jade on the stage of the store, "To appreciate jade, you must first look at the color." The color of high-grade jade must meet four standards: uniformity, yang, thickness, and positiveness. The color of this piece of green jade is uneven, the left and right are different, and the grade is inferior! This topaz is dull and gloomy in color, inferior! This piece of white jade is light in color, and it does not meet the standard of thickness, and it is also a low-grade ......"

Zhang Bingdong commented on the shortcomings of many jade stones in the jade shop one by one, at first, the lean young man was still full of disdain, but as Zhang Bingdong's every comment was in the middle of every sentence, pointing directly to the flaws of the jade, the lean young man slowly put away his disdain, and listened carefully to Zhang Bingdong's every word.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ This piece of jasper has black spots, the color is impure, and it is inferior. This piece of emerald jadeite ...... Hey? ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Bingdong couldn't help but pick up the emerald jade on the stage, stroked it a few times, and said in his heart: "Most of the jade in this jade shop are of middle and lower quality, only this piece of jadeite, the color is uniform and thick, the color is bright and pure, the texture is fine and hard, and the transparency is quite high, it should be a piece of high-grade jade." But how could such a good jade appear in this shop that specializes in selling inferior jade? ”

Out of curiosity, Zhang Bingdong turned his body slightly sideways, avoiding the sight of the lean young man, the nebula cyclone in his lower abdomen was running, and the Xuan Ling Power continued to rise from his lower abdomen and converge on his eyes. Zhang Bingdong's eyes shot a faint purple light, and the emerald jade in his hand was irradiated by the purple light, and there was nothing to hide.

"Sure enough, ......" With the assistance of Nebula's spiritual power, Zhang Bingdong's eyesight increased greatly, and he could see clearly at once that there was a small imperceptible crack on the back of the emerald jadeite.

"The white jade is slightly flawed, it's a pity. If it weren't for the existence of this small crack, this piece of emerald jadeite could have stepped into the ranks of the top grade. Now, at best, it's a mid-grade product, and its value has dropped by several notches. Zhang Bingdong shook his head secretly and sighed.

"This son, you are really a knowledgeable person. You're the first connoisseur in the three months I've opened the shop. This emerald jadeite is the best of all the jade in my shop. Are you interested in buying it? I can sell it to you cheaper. At this time, the lean young man already had a respectful look on his face.

How many of the people who can afford to play with jade are poor? Seeing that Zhang Bingdong was so good at appreciating jade at a young age, Luo Pu immediately put away his contempt, and his title changed from "stinky boy" to "son".

"How much?" Zhang Bingdong felt that he had watched it for so long, and if he just let it go and leave, it didn't seem very polite, so he casually asked the price.

Ropp slowly stretched out his right hand, retracted his thumb and index finger, and compared three fingers.

"Three thousand?" Zhang Bingdong hesitated for a moment and guessed. The price of 3,000 is quite reasonable. If Zhang Bingdong had spare money, maybe he would really buy it.

"Three thousand?! Childe, are you kidding? Ropp's head shook like a rattle, "My piece of emerald jadeite, but it is a treasure in the collection, the best of the best, such a piece of jadeite, at least 30,000!" However, I think this piece of treasure jade seems to have a lot of fate with you, so it's cheaper, and I'll give you 20,000 yuan. This is already my loss price, and it can't be reduced any longer. ”

"Profiteers!" Zhang Bingdong secretly cursed in his heart. If this emerald jadeite does not have that flaw, it is worth at least 50,000, but there is a small crack, and the value is greatly discounted, at most it is only worth four or five thousand.

However, the cracks on the emerald jadeite are indeed very subtle, and it is indeed difficult for ordinary people to find with the naked eye. If it weren't for Zhang Bingdong's ability to greatly increase his eyesight with the help of Xingyun Xuan's spiritual power, and identify the true value of jadeite, maybe he really thought that he had picked up a big bargain and bought this medium-grade jadeite under the ghost's mind.

Zhang Bingdong wanted to put down the emerald jadeite and turn to leave, but he looked up at Luo Pu with a sinister smile on his face, looking like he had succeeded in his treacherous scheme, and he couldn't help but feel a deep anger in his heart, and said in his heart: "Okay, you, a profiteer, specialize in selling these broken jades, I don't know how many ignorant women and children have been deceived, and you ran into me today, even if you are unlucky, see how I teach you a lesson." ”

Zhang Bingdong's eyes rolled, and he thought about it, he smiled faintly and said: "Just as Boss Luo said, such a precious piece of precious jade is only sold for 20,000 yuan, which is too cheap, I am a kind person, how can I bear to let you lose money?" Okay, 30,000 is 30,000, let's make a deal at this price. ”

As soon as Zhang Bingdong answered like this, it immediately caused an uproar among the onlookers who stopped around.

is the so-called sky-high asking price, landing on the ground to repay the money, since ancient times, the counteroffer has been lower and lower, how can there be like Zhang Bingdong, but returned a high price?

What's more, 30,000 Imperial Coins is also a huge amount of money in the Flying Dragon Empire. Enough for an average three-family family to eat for a year.

In Ropp's shop, there were already a few customers looking at jade. When Zhang Bingdong commented on the grade of jade one by one, it attracted the attention of several customers and passers-by. With the strange bargaining between Luo Pu and Zhang Bingdong, more and more spectators gathered on the sidelines, and at this moment they have surrounded two or three floors.

And everyone looked at Zhang Bingdong, both surprised and envious, but more, mixed with the question of "whether this person is an idiot".

Zhang Bingdong has always been called a little madman in Xiangrui Town, and he has long been accustomed to the idiot-like gaze of others. Under the strange gaze of everyone, Zhang Bingdong's expression on his face remained unchanged at all, and he asked indifferently: "How is it, Boss Luo?" What about the price of 30,000 yuan? ”

It was not easy for Ropp to recover from his surprise, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and hesitated, "This ...... This son...... Are you really going to ask for 30,000 yuan to buy my piece of emerald jadeite? ”

"Is it Boss Luo who just said that you want 30,000 yuan so that you don't lose money?" Zhang Bingdong blinked, "Could it be that you were lying just now and deceiving me?" ”

"I'm not lying, I'm not lying." Luo Pu hurriedly shook his hand and said, "I, Luo Pu, have always been innocent in business, how could I deceive you?" 30,000 yuan, immediately concluded, we will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. ”

"Okay." Zhang Bingdong took out 30,000 yuan from his baggage and handed it to Luo Pu.

Luo Pu counted the banknotes, and after confirming that it was correct, he handed the emerald to Zhang Bingdong with a smile on his face: "Childe, please receive the goods, and I will invite you to come more in the future." For Zhang Bingdong, a "big customer", Luo Pu is naturally happy to flatter.

"Hmm." Zhang Bingdong took the jade pendant, raised his eyebrows, and said happily, "I didn't expect that you can buy the legendary colorful jade for 30,000 yuan, it's too cheap." ”

"Colorful Emerald?" The pair of small eyes on Ropu's face showed a puzzled look, "This son, what is the colorful jade?" I've been playing jade since I was ten years old, and I've been immersed in this industry for more than ten years, and I know all the names and origins of famous jade in the world, but how come I've never heard of this name? ”

"Boss Luo, you don't know," Zhang Bingdong's face did not change, and he talked eloquently, "Colorful jadeite is a special gemstone in emerald jadeite. Usually, this kind of jadeite will have a shallow crack, and it is this crack that can make the jadeite reflect the seven-color rainbow light, which is very strange and is the best in the emerald jadeite. However, because this jadeite is so rare, not many people know about it. My uncle was an expert in emerald jadeite, and he had the privilege of seeing this amazing jadeite in the collection of a wealthy family in the Western Federation of Budamiso, so I learned that this kind of colorful jadeite exists. ”

"Rainbow light reflecting seven colors in the sun?" There was a look of disbelief in Luo Pu's eyes, "This son, I believe you must be mistaken, maybe there is really a unique jade like seven-colored jade in the world." But this piece of emerald jadeite is definitely not the seven-colored jadeite you said, this is because I have played with this jadeite in the sun more than a dozen times, but I have never seen it reflect a rainbow of seven-colored light. ”

"Boss Luo, you don't know this." Zhang Bingdong continued to brag, "Rainbows don't appear at any time. Only when the rain has passed and the sky is clear and the water vapor is sufficient, the seven-colored rainbow will appear on the horizon. This seven-colored jadeite will only show the seven colors of the sun when there is sufficient water vapor. ”

"How can there be such a miracle in this world?" Luo Pu was taken aback, rubbed his hands, and said in disbelief, "This son, I don't know if you can take your seven-colored jade out and open everyone's eyes?" The crowd of onlookers also coaxed, shouting to see the seven-colored jadeite.

Zhang Bingdong glanced around at the crowd around him, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Since you want to see it so much, I won't stop everyone's interest, who can take a basin of water and a wet towel out?" ”

Immediately someone brought out a basin of water and a wet towel, Zhang Bingdong carefully took out the emerald jadeite, soaked it in water, and then picked up the jadeite, took the wet towel, carefully wiped the jadeite, and explained at the same time: "I heard my uncle say that the jadeite should reflect a seven-colored rainbow, which can neither be too wet, nor too dry, wet, and too heavy; If it is dry, and there is no moisture, there will be no seven-colored rainbow. Moreover, like the rainbow, the time for the jadeite to emit seven colors of light is very short, so everyone should take a good look. While speaking, Zhang Bingdong put the half-wet and half-dry emerald jade on the countertop.
