Chapter 5: Pearls
It's early in the morning.
After practicing all night, Fang Chen, a qi practitioner who had officially entered the qi refining period, left the community where he had just rented a house, took a taxi, and came to the flower and bird market near the university town.
There are a lot of flower and bird markets in Qindao City, because it is a big city near the sea, and there are many seafood in the flower and bird market.
The flower and bird market near the university town where Fang Chen went is one of the many flower and bird markets in Qindao City.
This flower and bird market is not small, Fang Chen walks in it, and you can see cats, dogs, or fish, snakes, birds, insects everywhere, among which fish and crabs are the majority.
Gradually, Fang Chen came to his destination and stopped in front of a store that sold pearls.
Pearl farming is not uncommon in the seaside city of Qindao, and it is also essential to have a variety of pearl stores in the various flower and bird markets in Qindao City.
The reason why Fang Chen came to the flower and bird market is to make money!
Whether it is normal consumption or buying some medicinal materials for alchemy, it all requires money.
With Fang Chen's cultivation now officially entering the Qi Refining Period, although he was only in the early stage of Qi cultivation, he was already able to use the mana in his body to perform some magical methods of earth-shattering creation.
Although there is still some distance from casting the high-level spell of turning stones into gold, it is not difficult to get some ordinary pearls and process them into some precious precious pearls with mana.
This is also one of the ways that Fang Chen has thought of at the moment to make money quickly.
Fang Chen walked into this pearl store, and a short and fat old man greeted him, and asked with a smile, "Little brother, look at the pearls?"
Fang Chen nodded, his gaze swept around the store, there were some mussels that had not been opened, and there were also some that had been opened, and there were pearls large or small in them.
Those mussels that are not opened are usually used to bet on pearls, just like gambling stones, betting on the color of the pearls inside after the mussels are opened.
It's just that betting on pearls is not so risky, no matter what the color of the pearls in it is, it can be regarded as a gain, while gambling stones are often a knife to live and die, and the risk is extremely high.
With Fang Chen's ability, even if he runs to gamble on the stone, he can make a steady profit, because he only needs a small spell of the clairvoyant eye to see the specific situation inside the stone.
It's just that he doesn't have a way to gamble on stones, so it's as convenient as pouring pearls directly, so this place has become his first choice.
"How much does this pearl cost?"
Fang Chen's gaze fell on a mussel that had been opened, pointed to the pearl inside with his hand, and asked with a smile.
"One hundred and fifteen!" The short and fat old man saw it, and immediately gave a price, this kind of pearl can be said to be a low-grade color, usually about a hundred yuan.
And some pearls with good color are often sold for thousands or even tens of thousands, and as for those pearls with top color, they are often worth hundreds of thousands or even millions, but there are no pearls of top color in his small shop.
"I want thirty. ”
Fang Chen thought about the money in his pocket, and asked for thirty pearls.
Although he was a little richer than ordinary classmates, after paying two months' rent, he only had four or five thousand yuan left for living expenses, which was added to his previous little savings.
"Howler!"
The short and fat old man's eyes lit up, thirty pearls were four thousand and a half transactions, and he could make a lot of money. I didn't expect this young man who seemed to be a student to make a very generous shot, could it be that he was going to string a pearl necklace and give it to his girlfriend?
The transaction was completed quickly, and the short and fat old man also gave Fang Chen a business card, telling him that if he came here to buy pearls in the future, he would definitely give a discount.
Fang Chen looked at the name on the business card, only to know that this old man's surname was Sun, and after bidding farewell to Old Man Sun, he left the flower and bird market with thirty pearls and returned directly to his rental house.
After returning to the room, Fang Chen opened the bag and took out pearls to play with in his hand, these pearls are not big, they are not slippery in his hand, they can only be regarded as pearls of average color.
But as the golden light gradually lit up in Fang Chen's hand, the pearls soon changed, and the pearls soaked in the golden light not only became golden in color, but also became crystal clear as a whole, and even a little larger in size.
This was naturally the result of Fang Chen's immersion in magic, I saw that there were words in his mouth, and the golden light on his hand became more and more dazzling, and soon, the white pearls turned into golden pearls, and at first glance, they were the treasures among the golden pearls!
Gold pearls are a type of seawater cultured pearl and are the sibling of white pearls, which are expensive because they are produced in very small quantities.
The thirty golden pearls in Fang Chen's hand are even more treasures among the golden pearls, and the value of each one is hundreds of thousands, and the total is tens of millions.
If you let the old man Sun know that the thirty pearls that were just sold at a price of a few thousand yuan will be worth more than 10 million yuan in the blink of an eye, and I am afraid that the eyeballs will fall off.
"Hoo ......"
After transforming the thirty pearls, Fang Chen exhaled lightly.
He is only in the early stage of qi cultivation now, and the mana in his body is still very meager, and the transformation of thirty pearls is almost consumed, but fortunately, with his skills, even if he walks and breathes, he can quickly collect the aura and vitality of heaven and earth, and restore the mana in his body.
This is also his Fang Chen, if he changes to another Qi practitioner, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to transform the pearl, not only does it require advanced magic and precise control, but the mana consumed will probably be more.
