Li Shangyan said to her, “Manager Yang, I am your customer, but they are not!”
“They are disturbing my meal! I am very dissatisfied with the management and service of your Four Seasons Hotel!”
Luo Junwei laughed and pointed at Li Shangyan. “You, a poor wretch, are a customer here?”
Manager Yang quietly asked into her earpiece, and soon a reply came through.
Then Manager Yang said apologetically to Li Shangyan,
“Sorry, distinguished guest. This is indeed our poor management, and it has affected your meal! I will give you a satisfactory resolution right away!”
After that, she smiled at Luo Junwei and Wu Yushan and said, “You two, please don’t disturb our guest. Please come this way!”
Hearing this, Wu Yushan’s mouth fell open. In disbelief, she asked, “How could he possibly afford to stay in a five-star hotel?”
Manager Yang still wore a smile and said gently, “Mr. Li is our esteemed Presidential Suite guest.”
“As for the two of you, you are not guests of our hotel, so please don’t disturb the guest. Otherwise, I can only call security.”
The beautiful woman’s voice was very gentle. If it had been any other time, Luo Junwei would have greatly enjoyed it.
But at this moment, it felt like claws scraping across glass, making him unbearably annoyed.
Luo Junwei had never been this humiliated, especially in front of two beautiful women, so he left without saying a word.
Wu Yushan looked at Li Shangyan, who was eating with his head down and didn’t even glance at him, and could only leave resentfully with a belly full of doubts.
…
After finishing a pleasant breakfast, Li Shangyan took a taxi back to Gold Street.
His first choice was still the Zhou Xiaosheng brand store.
When he sold gold bars earlier, he had added Yang Jinxiu, the store manager of Zhou Xiaosheng, on WeChat.
He had confirmed with her that her store also sold jade.
Of course, Li Shangyan would never admit that the reason he thought of Zhou Xiaosheng first was because of that rather voluptuous store manager sister.
As soon as Li Shangyan entered the store, he saw that Yang Jinxiu was already waiting there.
The store manager sister immediately came up to greet him and said softly, “Mr. Li, you’re here!”
Li Shangyan’s eyes discreetly swept over the peaks, suppressing his youthful fire, and then he smiled.
“Store Manager Yang, hello! I’m here today to take a look at jade accessories. Please help introduce them to me.”
Yang Jinxiu had previously bought gold bars from him and made tens of thousands in profit from the spread.
She also remembered that Li Shangyan had said he still had gold bars at home, so naturally she knew there was still potential for business between them.
Her attitude was naturally extremely warm. She quickly raised a hand in invitation and smiled. “Please come with me.”
Yang Jinxiu led Li Shangyan into the VIP room, then took several jade ornaments out of the safe.
There were Guanyin pendants, handheld pieces, bracelets, rings, beaded bracelets, and so on.
Their textures were also different; some were flawlessly white, some were lustrous and transparent, and some were icy and jade-like.
Wearing black gloves, Yang Jinxiu asked softly, “Mr. Li, are you buying them for yourself or as gifts? Is there any type you like?”
Li Shangyan asked, “May I take a look?”
Yang Jinxiu smiled. “Of course!”
After saying that, she picked up a Guanyin pendant, placed it on a tray, and handed it to Li Shangyan.
Jade should not be passed hand to hand.
Li Shangyan picked up the pendant and examined it carefully. The more he looked, the more it seemed like a Spirit Stone to him.
Moreover, the quality seemed far higher than the one Xuan Yuan Sect had given him.
Perhaps that was because the one he had received was only a low-grade Spirit Stone, equivalent to ordinary jade of average quality.
But Li Shangyan still was not entirely sure, because in the Blue Star world, he had never cultivated.
So he could not sense the existence of spiritual energy at all.
Yang Jinxiu said, “As the saying goes, jade nurtures a person for three years, and a person nurtures jade for a lifetime!”
“People who wear jade year-round will be healthier.”
“This Guanyin pendant is also especially suitable for you, Mr. Li. It won’t make you look old-fashioned; instead, it will make you look very fashionable.”
“What’s more, as the saying goes, men wear Guanyin, women wear Buddha…”
The store manager sister was promoting the pendant in a pleasant voice, but to Li Shangyan, it was like a thunderclap.
A person nurtures jade for three years, and jade nurtures a person for a lifetime!
In that instant, Li Shangyan was ninety percent sure that jade really was a Spirit Stone!
However, he still needed to go to the Cultivation world to confirm it again!
Li Shangyan immediately made up his mind. He interrupted Yang Jinxiu and asked, “How much is this pendant?”
Yang Jinxiu smiled. “This pendant is icy jadeite. It’s quite good in quality, and its shape is large and regular. The price is 88,888.”
Li Shangyan nodded. He wanted to confirm his suspicion as quickly as possible, so he said, “I’ll take all of them!”
When Yang Jinxiu heard this, she could not help but gasp. Her slightly parted red lips and rising and falling curves made Li Shangyan feel a little restless.
Looking at Yang Jinxiu’s surprised expression, Li Shangyan felt the satisfaction of a nouveau riche sweeping up goods.
Indeed, rich people’s lives were this plain and unadorned.
And fun!
Li Shangyan coughed lightly and said, “What? Is that not allowed?”
Yang Jinxiu also suppressed her excitement and quickly said, “Of course it is allowed!”
Then she carefully calculated and said, “There are eight jade ornaments here in total, and the total price is 283,388 yuan.”
“I’ll round it down for you and charge you 280,000 yuan.”
These eight jade ornaments varied in size and quality.
The most expensive was the Guanyin pendant, and the cheapest was a small pendant made of ordinary Hetian jade.
But jade was priceless, and the profit here was extremely considerable.
This deal brought Yang Jinxiu another profit of more than tens of thousands.
She had never expected that doing two deals with this handsome man would bring her nearly 100,000 yuan in profit.
It was almost reaching her usual monthly profit.
Li Shangyan said cheerfully, “All right, wrap them up. I’ll pay!”
After politely declining Yang Jinxiu’s lunch invitation, Li Shangyan hurried back to the Four Seasons Hotel.
It was not that he did not want to have a deeper exchange with the beautiful store manager sister.
Rather, he was in a hurry to confirm the suspicion in his mind.
Once it was confirmed, he would have plenty of chances to interact with the store manager sister later.
There was no need to rush, and no need to rush for just one day!
…
Back in the Presidential Suite of the Four Seasons Hotel, he immediately lay down on the large bed, and his consciousness sank at once.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already inside Xuan Yuan Sect.
He took the eight jade ornaments out of his brain space and carefully sensed them.
In an instant, he could feel the vast spiritual power contained within the jade!
The most intense of all was the Guanyin pendant worth 88,888 yuan!
If the spiritual energy contained in the low-grade Spirit Stone issued by the Sect were compared to a drop of water, then this Guanyin pendant would be a whole large bowl of water!
The amount of energy contained inside was tens of thousands of times greater!
“Could this be the legendary high-grade Spirit Stone?”
According to Steward Wang Yuan, only senior Sect members above the Core Formation stage or true disciples could use high-grade Spirit Stones.
Because the spiritual energy contained within them was of very high quality and could accelerate cultivation.
As for the other jade ornaments, the spiritual power they contained was also very ample.
Even the worst pendant contained hundreds of times more spiritual power than that fingernail-sized low-grade Spirit Stone.
“I’m rich!”
“With the abundant jade of the Blue Star world, let’s see who dares to call me a mediocre talent in the future!”
“I’m going to blind everyone’s dog eyes!”
“But I still can’t expose these for now. Only by turning them into strength will I have everything!”
Thinking of this, he took out the small pendant and began circulating the Qi Refining Art taught by the Sect!
A stream of pure spiritual power was drawn into his body, continuously tempering the spiritual power within his dantian!
