Dandy Pill God-Chapter 185 Buy Jade Pendant

Watching Tang Mengyun busily wiping the tables and washing the dishes, Zhu Fei felt an unusual sense of peace at that moment.

He didn’t interfere with what Tang Mengyun was doing but just quietly watched her.

...

A while later, the two descended the stairs together and took a taxi to an antique street in Lan City.

As they entered a shop called Jade Pavilion, a middle-aged man dressed in an ancient-colored robe, the shopkeeper, immediately came to greet them.

With a welcoming smile, he quickly said to Zhu Fei and Tang Mengyun, "What can I get for you two? We have jadeite, agate, and jade here."

"Hmm, do you have any finished jade pendants here? I’m looking for ones made of mutton-fat white jade."

Hearing the shopkeeper’s words, Tang Mengyun promptly nodded and spoke to him.

The middle-aged shopkeeper was slightly taken aback and subconsciously glanced at Tang Mengyun and Zhu Fei’s attire.

Zhu Fei’s clothing was nothing special, but Tang Mengyun’s attire and demeanor clearly showed she was from a wealthy family. Seeing that she was the one inquiring, the shopkeeper had no more doubts.

After all, mutton-fat white jade pendants weren’t something an ordinary family could afford.

The shopkeeper gave Tang Mengyun a warm smile and nodded, "Yes, of course, we have them. Which type would you like?"

He then returned to his counter and took out several pendants that were clearly of superior quality.

"Miss, take a look. I’ve just acquired these recently; they are all good pieces. See if you like any?"

Tang Mengyun picked up several of the jade pendants and examined them closely, then turned to Zhu Fei and asked, "Zhu Fei, which one do you think looks good?"

"Owner, do you only have these few pieces? Don’t you have others?"

Zhu Fei didn’t immediately answer Tang Mengyun’s question but shook his head slightly at her and then turned to the middle-aged shopkeeper with a slightly furrowed brow.

After all, his purpose for accompanying Tang Mengyun was to buy a jade pendant capable of being made into an amulet, not merely to purchase jade pendants as jewelry.

Although the few jade pendants the middle-aged shopkeeper took out were not outright defective,

for the quality of mutton-fat white jade, they were just mediocre and certainly did not meet Zhu Fei’s standards.

The shopkeeper was taken aback; he hadn’t expected that the young student looking people in front of him were not dominated by the seemingly affluent Tang Mengyun but by the pretty yet plainly dressed Zhu Fei.

But he was only startled momentarily and quickly recovered,

"Young man, do you dislike these pendants? If you want a better quality one, the price will be..."

"Price is not an issue. If you truly have some good items, just bring them out, and remember, we want nothing with even a slight flaw in the jade quality."

Upon hearing Zhu Fei’s words, the shopkeeper instantly realized that this young man knew his stuff.

If he recalled correctly, this young man barely even touched the jade pendants. Not touching the jade and commenting like that clearly showed he was knowledgeable—people who aren’t experts wouldn’t act this way.

The shopkeeper had been in this business for many years and had encountered all sorts of people. He knew whom he could deceive and whom he couldn’t.

At that moment, he thought for a bit but did not immediately respond. Instead, he smiled at Zhu Fei and Tang Mengyun and said, "Wait a moment," before turning around and heading into the back room.

Watching the middle-aged shopkeeper enter the back room, Tang Mengyun couldn’t help but become curious. She turned her head and softly asked near his ear, "Zhu Fei, have you studied things like this before?"

Zhu Fei nodded. "Not bad, I looked into it a bit when I was bored."

As he spoke, it was as if he remembered something. He couldn’t help but whisper into Tang Mengyun’s ear, "Mengyun, actually, if you carefully sense it, you should also be able to detect that although these jade pendants appear ’exquisite’ and flawless, their internal structure has many defects."

Tang Mengyun was slightly startled. Her beautiful eyes blinked a few times, and her expression became somewhat peculiar as she said,

"Zhu Fei, do you mean that we, that we might be able to...?"

"Mhm," Zhu Fei nodded imperceptibly.

However, after thinking it over, he ultimately explained to Tang Mengyun, "Mengyun, we cultivators naturally have a sensitivity to such things. In the future, you can pay more attention to this kind of situation."

"Of course, once you reach the Qi Refining Fifth Level and possess Divine Sense, then this kind of thing, no matter what it is or whether it’s good or bad, will have nowhere to hide from you."

"Is it really that miraculous?"

Tang Mengyun’s mouth gaped open in an O shape, utterly shocked by what Zhu Fei had just said.

She knew that the cultivation Zhu Fei had taught her was powerful, but she had never imagined that cultivation could offer such a bizarre advantage in the field of antiques.

"Zhu... Zhu Fei, based on what you said, does that mean that for us, the antique business could be...?"

"Hehe, that’s right. As long as you wish it and have enough cultivation, you can make as much money as you want in the antique trade."

Zhu Fei looked at Tang Mengyun’s incredulous expression and couldn’t help but find her quite adorable. He immediately nodded at her and teased her.

"Wow, that’s exaggerated."

Tang Mengyun instinctively stuck out her tongue and sneakily glanced at the middle-aged shopkeeper who still hadn’t emerged from the back room. A flush of excitement suddenly surged on her stunning face.

"I must try this, Zhu Fei; I definitely must."

Saying this, Tang Mengyun didn’t wait for Zhu Fei to respond; she immediately picked up the jade pendants again and started sensing them carefully.

Moments later, when the middle-aged shopkeeper came out from the back room carrying a box, Tang Mengyun had just put down the last jade pendant in her hands and couldn’t help but excitedly nod at Zhu Fei.

Zhu Fei knew she must have discovered something and just smiled without saying much.

The middle-aged shopkeeper looked at Tang Mengyun with some confusion, wondering how this girl, who was just fine a moment ago, now seemed so excited?

Yet, he didn’t think too much about it and placed the box on the counter and started taking items out one by one.

As he removed them, he turned to Tang Mengyun and Zhu Fei and said, "Both of you, take a good look again at these jade pendants. What do you think?"

When the middle-aged shopkeeper had almost emptied the box, he suddenly hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and took out one more slightly yellowed jade pendant.

However, the moment Zhu Fei saw that yellowed jade pendant, his pupils suddenly contracted.

What! This is... a Low Grade Magic Artifact!
