Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

Upon hearing what their master said, the crowd erupted in an uproar: "We're rich! We're rich now!"

Everyone congratulated Ye Yu.

Some people have already started bidding.

Amidst the clamor of bidding, a voice rang out, "I bid twenty million!" and everyone fell silent.

Ye Yu looked at the person who had just arrived. The person was wearing a sharp suit and had a briefcase tucked under his arm. He walked up to Ye Yu.

"Miss, I'll offer 20 million for this piece of jade."

Ye Yu turned to Gao Weimin for his opinion, only to find Gao Weimin staring at her with a very unpleasant expression.

The man seemed to realize that Ye Yu and Gao Weiming were in cahoots, and said with a smile, "Oh, it's Weimin. You actually have money to gamble on stones."

Then he gave Ye Yu a strange look and said, "You're not being kept by a rich woman, are you? You're really lucky with women. Your ex-wife was very beautiful, and now you've hooked up with a pure and innocent young beauty."

Gao Weimin frowned deeply: "Yang Xuejiang, don't talk nonsense. I'm just an advisor invited by Miss Ye Yu."

Upon hearing Gao Weimin's words, Yang Xuejiang immediately put on a big smile and said to Ye Yu, "What do you think of my offer? I doubt anyone here can offer a higher price than me, right?"

"Your price is high, but I don't want to sell to you," Ye Yu said nonchalantly. "Because your mouth is too foul."

"you!"

Yang Xuejiang's face fell: "You two really are having an affair. Isn't it all just to get revenge for Gao Weimin? Have you thought this through? Is it really worth losing so much money for a man who's been married and has children?"

"Whether it's worth it or not, and whether I sell it to you or not, is my business. You don't need to worry about it," Ye Yu replied expressionlessly.

Yang Xuejiang snorted coldly after hearing this, then turned and left.

At this moment, Gao Weimin looked at Ye Yu with a guilty expression: "Miss Ye Yu, you don't need to do this. Twenty million is about right."

Ye Yu waved her right hand to stop him from speaking: "It doesn't matter whether this piece of jade is sold or not. Didn't you say that it can be auctioned here? We can send it to the auction together after we've selected the materials."

Hearing her say that, Gao Weiming felt less uneasy.

He explained to Ye Yu, "I was originally one of the vice presidents of Yishun Jewelry Company, in charge of purchasing raw jewelry stones, and Yang Xuejiang was my subordinate."

“Previously, I was framed by another vice president of the company, who colluded with Yang Xuejiang to make me purchase a large amount of waste materials. As a result, the company seized all my assets and I was left with a lot of debt.”

“By the time I realized something was wrong, my wife had already run away with most of the property before the assets were seized, leaving behind only our five-year-old son.”

“My son is in poor health and spends most of his time in the hospital. I borrowed money from all over the place to temporarily settle him in the hospital. Finally, I used the last two thousand yuan I had to come here, intending to take a gamble based on my experience.”

He gave a wry smile: "You know the final result. What I said before about bad luck always finding its way to the unfortunate is exactly what I was talking about. In the past, when I selected three stones, one of them would always turn out to be green, but this time I bought four and not a single one turned out to be green."

Ye Yu comforted him, "As the saying goes, what hits rock bottom will rebound. When you reach a certain lowest point, it will definitely bounce back. Isn't that what we're seeing now? You've already made 20,000."

Gao Weimin smiled as he listened to Ye Yu's words of comfort: "You're right, you're a benefactor to me. I must choose carefully today and make more money."

The two continued selecting ingredients in the selection area, and with Ye Yu's subtle reminder, Gao Weimin selected five more pieces.

Ye Yu's spiritual power was almost exhausted, so she decided to take one last look and not make a choice today.

Gao Weimin led her to the area where the large stones were placed: "Miss Ye Yu, some of the raw materials here are not from the original stone factory, but are sold here by private individuals."

Ye Yu nodded to indicate that she understood. This place was even more lively than the previous material selection area, with the sounds of bargaining rising and falling.

Ye Yu stepped onto the steps next to her, stood on higher ground, and channeled her spiritual energy into her eyes to survey the surroundings.

Suddenly, a blinding green light burst forth beside her.

Ye Yu looked in the direction of the light and saw a stone about the size of a square table standing in the corner, with a water cup, a boxed lunch, and some other food on it.

Clearly, the boss was using it as a table.

She led Gao Weimin, seemingly leisurely, to the stall where the stones were, picking and choosing.

The owner was a thin, dark-skinned middle-aged man. He put down the lunchbox in his hand and greeted Ye Yu, "Boss, please pick whatever you like. All of these are top-quality materials."

He also introduced Ye Yu to stones that he thought could produce green.

Ye Yu told Gao Weimin to take his time choosing from the items at his stall, and then pretended to be a little tired from choosing, rubbing his lower back.

Seeing this, the boss very tactfully invited Ye Yu to sit down at the spot where he had just been eating and handed her a bottle of mineral water.

Ye Yu politely accepted it and thanked him.

When the boss turned to introduce her to Gao Weimin, she placed the water on a square stone and infused it with her spiritual consciousness.

The stone was a vibrant green, without a single impurity, and seemed to contain flowing liquid, unlike the crystals or pillars she had seen before.

Upon closer inspection, the green seemed to have transformed into a lake blue, constantly changing.

Ye Yu remembered what Gao Weimin had told her earlier: someone had previously found a piece of green jadeite without a single blemish, which they called Imperial Green.

You absolutely must buy it!

Ye Yu asked casually, "Boss, the shape of this stone looks quite like a table. Why don't you suggest making it into a table?"

"Hey, it's already a table, why would I bother?" the boss replied without turning his head.

"If you turn it into a table, you can sell it for a higher price."

"Who would buy this kind of stone? It's not even worth the processing fee."

"Then why do you still keep it here?"

This was given to me by a friend. His father had an accident in the mining area a few days ago, and the family urgently needed money, so he gave me this stall, including this stone.

"Oh, I see. Then sell this stone to me!"

Upon hearing Ye Yu's words, both the boss and Gao Weimin looked at her in surprise.

After these selections, Gao Weimin knew that Ye Yu was very perceptive and that she must have a purpose in saying that.

The shopkeeper asked incredulously, "You want to buy this stone?"

“Yes, I think its shape is quite unique. If you don’t use it as a table, then I’ll buy it and use it as a table.”

The boss suspected that Ye Yu's motives were not pure, so he picked up a flashlight and looked at the stone.

Gao Weimin also went up to check with him, but after looking for a while, they both came to the same conclusion.

This stone not only lacks green color, but it has also been artificially pieced together.

The boss refused to believe it and checked repeatedly, but still found nothing.

He asked Ye Yu, "Do you really want to buy this stone?"

"Yes, I've already thought it through. Once I buy this stone, I'll have it polished and placed in my courtyard. I'll also carve a chessboard on it."

The boss hesitated for a long time and didn't say anything.

Gao Weimin pretended to advise Ye Yu, "Boss, why don't you just forget about it? This stone is pieced together; it just looks like a table. There are plenty of others here. You haven't finished looking around yet. Maybe you'll find something you like even more."

Ye Yu suddenly realized and said, "That's right. I was a little tired just now, and I was just thinking of buying something and leaving. But now that I've rested for a while, I can look around some more."

Seeing that they were about to leave, the shopkeeper immediately stopped Ye Yu: "If you really want to buy it, it'll cost ten thousand yuan!"

"Ten thousand yuan is too expensive. I need to hire someone to pick it up, and there are also shipping costs."

"Eight thousand yuan, if you don't want to buy it, then forget it."

Ye Yu paid the money.

Gao Weimin asked someone to move the stone to the cutting area and put it there. He said to Ye Yu, "Boss, why did you buy this stone? It's just a waste of material."

Ye Yu said to him with certainty, "I have a feeling that there is green in this, and it is of very high quality."
