The King of Xiuxianjuan returns to modern times and becomes a landlord

The plane slowly descended at the airport in Tengchong, Yunnan. Sunlight filtered through thin clouds, casting a golden glow over the landscape. Ying Meng, Mu Ya, and Miao Yimo stepped off the plane to be greeted by fresh air and warm sunshine. Miao Yimo expertly arranged a pick-up, and the three of them boarded a car decorated with ethnic motifs and drove toward the city.

As the car spun through the streets, the scenery outside the window gradually grew bustling. Miao Yimo brought Ying Ni and Mu Ya to a renowned local restaurant. The aroma of various spices filled the air, making one's mouth water. They ordered several signature dishes, the most notable of which were the copper ladle beef, the great rescue, and the stewed chicken with ginkgo nuts. Ying Ni and Mu Ya ate with gusto, while Miao Yimo watched them with a smile, as if savoring this simple pleasure.

After a night of rest at the hotel, the next morning, Miao Yimo took Ying Ni and Mu Ya to Tengchong's largest gambling stone street. Both sides of the street were lined with a dazzling array of raw jade stones, each one seemingly holding infinite possibilities. As they walked, Miao Yimo explained the secrets of gambling jade stones to them, and Ying Ni and Mu Ya listened with rapt interest, as if they were being transported into a mysterious world.

Miao Yimo stood in the bustling gambling stone market. Sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, scattering tiny glints of light onto the stones. His expression was serious, and his gaze swept over Ying Ni and Mu Ya, as if delivering a silent warning. Ying Ni and Mu Ya stood beside him, feeling somewhat uneasy. Their unfamiliar faces stood out against the backdrop of the surrounding landscape.

"Listen up, both of you. This is no joke." Miao Yimo's voice was deep and powerful, as if it drew an invisible boundary in the air. "There are rules for gambling on stones. You can't just make a random bid. If you don't understand, don't speak easily, and don't offend the shop owner." He looked around, his eyes lingering on each shop owner's face for a moment, as if silently conveying some message.

Ying Meng and Mu Ya nodded, their gazes lingering over the various stones, filled with curiosity and awe. Miao Yimo continued, "This place borders Myanmar, and the people are tough. You must be careful. Some shops might be tempted to overcharge you if you're unfamiliar." His words carried a subtle warning.

The two followed Miao Yimo's gaze and saw the shopkeepers on both sides sizing them up with complicated expressions. Some of the shopkeepers' eyes flickered with excitement, as if they had seen a prominent customer arrive; while others, upon recognizing Miao Yimo, had a flicker of fear in their eyes, their urge to rip off customers instantly suppressed.

"Remember, don't bid casually, and don't offend people easily." Miao Yimo's voice echoed in the air, as if reminding them that this is not just a gambling stone market, but also a place full of complicated human hearts and potential dangers.

Ying Ni slowly strolled to the entrance of a shop, and the sight before her made her stop in her tracks. A mountain of stones piled high in front of the shop shimmered delicately in the sunlight. Upon closer inspection, she discovered they were all uncut, whole, uncut stones, each imbued with endless mysteries and unknowns. These stones seemed like masterpieces of nature, lying quietly, awaiting discovery and exploration.

Stepping inside, the display shelves are filled with partially cut, semi-cut stones. These stones have been meticulously polished, revealing some of their inner colors and textures, as if silently telling their stories. Each semi-cut stone is like a mystery waiting to be solved; its interior could hold breathtaking beauty, or it could be a blank slate. This uncertainty fills Ying Ni with both excitement and nervousness.

Ying Ni turned to Mu Ya and asked, "Would you rather look at the full-grain or half-grain?" Mu Ya's eyes sparkled with excitement, and she answered without hesitation, "Of course, the full-grain." Her voice was filled with anticipation and a passion for adventure. Mu Ya seemed deeply drawn to the mystery of the full-grain stones, eager to uncover the secrets behind them herself.

Miao Yimo followed closely behind, smiled slightly, and suggested: "You can take your time to choose. I'll have someone rent a warehouse. If you don't want to cut the stones here, you can also do it in the warehouse." His voice revealed a calmness and confidence, as if he had foreseen the excitement and satisfaction of Ying Ni and Mu Ya when they were choosing stones.

Ying Ni and Mu Ya exchanged a meaningful glance, each revealing a tacit understanding that only they could understand. They both deeply understood that gambling on stones was alluring precisely because of its unpredictable and mysterious nature. Once spiritual power was invoked during the gambling process, the entire game lost its original fun and challenge.

Ying Ni carefully picked up a stone shaped like a watermelon and began to examine it carefully. On its surface, she could faintly see several lines winding like a python. She gently tapped the stone, listening to the sound it made; it seemed quite crisp and pleasant. Without a second thought, Ying Ni set the stone aside and continued to examine the other rough stones. After a careful selection, she finally selected several and placed them side by side.

Ying Ni stood up and gently tugged at Miao Yimo's sleeve. Miao Yimo immediately grasped her intention and stepped forward to begin bargaining with the shopkeeper. Throughout the negotiation, Miao Yimo remained remarkably calm and composed, his tone firm and forceful, engaging in a tense and exciting negotiation. The atmosphere grew increasingly tense as the negotiations progressed, as if everyone was holding their breath in silent anticipation of the final outcome of the transaction.

With the price finalized, Miao Yimo carefully placed the rough materials Ying Li had carefully selected into the trunk of his car. He planned to take them all to the warehouse later, where they would be carefully unpacked for further inspection and processing. Meanwhile, in a nearby pile of rocks, Mu Ya was still diligently sorting through them, her eyes focused and serious, as if searching for overlooked treasures.

Muya carefully selected three or four of these raw materials and set them aside, patiently waiting for Miao Yimo to finish bargaining with the store owner. After some intense bargaining, Miao Yimo, with his keen business acumen and negotiation skills, finally successfully purchased the raw materials at a price lower than the market price.

Ying Ni and Mu Ya were overjoyed upon learning that Miao Yimo had successfully purchased the raw materials at a discounted price. Their joy was palpable, as it not only validated their discerning eye but also foretold potential future success. The shop owner was equally delighted, as the goods displayed in front of their store were essentially just scraps, and selling them at such a price was a highly satisfying outcome. The shop owner's face was also filled with satisfaction, as this transaction not only brought them income but also filled them with anticipation for future collaborations.
