Early morning of the second day, Wei Fan followed the Lao Tang to the outskirts of the city. Although it was still around eight in the morning, he could feel the bustling activity inside as he stood outside the Eastsea City's ore trading market.

Lao Tang took the call, then exclaimed to Wei Fan: "Little Wei, it's really just as you said, Old Zhu didn't cut any good ingredients last night."

Wei Fan had expected all of this. At this moment, all of his attention was focused on the various small and large Crystal Rocks that were placed by the side of the road. The abundant spirit energy swirled around, causing Wei Fan to think that he had returned to the Immortal World.

However, after walking a few rounds around the market, Wei Fan realized that these ores were a little different. Many of the crystals did not have stone skins wrapped around them, or just a small part. They could already confirm that there was material inside the stone, but the grade of the material was not clear.

Since Wei Fan had questions, of course he would ask for guidance from the Lao Tang. The Lao Tang was also happy to spread the basic knowledge to Wei Fan.

"Crystals are different from emeralds, the crystals inside are not afraid of acid washing, so some people got ores from the better mines and used acid washing first. Of course, this is also at risk, so there are some people who do not want to acid wash it, or only want to acid wash it in a small piece, and still want to sell the ore with the stone skin. "

After he finished explaining, Wei Fan could finally relax. If others knew that there was a crystal inside the stone, what advantage would he have?

Not only were there ores from the East China Sea in the market, but also ores from Africa and other places that were tens of thousands of miles away. To be fair, the quality of the crystals in the East China Sea was not comparable to that of imported ones. Not only stone, but even craftsmanship is very different from that of the world.

There were hundreds of ore suppliers on the market, so it was impossible to transfer every single household. Lao Tang had a few old friends who had worked together for many years, so he directly brought Wei Fan into a small warehouse.

It was still early in the morning and the four to five people inside the warehouse were still eating breakfast. Lao Tang walked over, clasped his hands and said, "Master Wang, have business been well recently?"

"So it's Little Tang!" Have you eaten breakfast? Come on, sit down. " An old man wearing a white tai chi suit and chewing on a youtiao stood up and said.

Wei Fan also sat down. The Lao Tang naturally introduced Wei Fan to Old Man Wang, and Old Man Wang naturally did not care too much about Wei Fan, who was not even twenty years old. He just treated him as a relative of the Lao Tang and brought him out to see the world.

Although they were friends, business was business. Lao Tang and Old Man Wang were still talking when the two started fighting each other. It was because of a rock.

"I say, old man, your stone is just too terrible. It's not enough to say that it's white or gold, but at most, I'll give you 7,000 …"

"If you open your eyes and lie, I brought you this crystal from Brazil. It cost you US dollars. Lil 'Tang, if you really want it, then don't play tricks with me. I'll give you the sixty thousand. " Old Master Wang was very confident in his 200 kg stone.

This rock had already been acid washed, and the entire surface of the rock had a special texture to it. With a little polishing, it would become a unique treasure.

Of course, old man Wang knew that if he polished this stone, he could sell it for millions, but he didn't have the resources. For example, natural gems such as jade and crystal, the best materials were only the basics. They were all used to find unpolished jade in the future. A piece of material worth a hundred thousand gold coins, meticulously carved by a master, could easily be sold for a million gold coins.

The Lao Tang had a family history of learning how to play with stones. When they were young, they also got to know some master craftsmen while playing jadeite. They were very familiar with the masters of the northern and southern factions. What really supported Stone's note was the high end market. One crystal piece was worth more than a hundred thousand yuan. In addition to the concept of housing and wealth, there was no room for consideration at all.

Wei Fan started to walk around the warehouse himself. The bargaining between Lao Tang and Old Master Wang had finally ended, and the Lao Tang had left a mark on the rock. Through the POS machine, he completed the transaction with Old Master Wang.

After harvesting the good stuff, Lao Tang's mouth had never closed. Seeing Wei Fan carefully sizing up the ore in front of him, Lao Tang walked over and asked in a small voice: "Good stuff?"

Wei Fan nodded indifferently. Seeing Wei Fan's certainty, the heavy burden of the negotiation, the Lao Tang, received it without hesitation.

When the two of them left the Old Master Wang's warehouse, Wei Fan and Lao Tang were already as poor as a pauper.

"Little Wei, are you sure those stones can produce materials?" In just a few hours, he had spent all of the funds he had bought. Lao Tang was truly adventurous.

"Lao Tang, do I need to harm you? Let's find a place to cut some rocks or we won't have the money to take a taxi back to the hotel. " Wei Fan said as he held a stone in his hand.

The Lao Tang carried a few pieces of ore in a snakeskin bag as well. The other stones that the two chose would be sent to the storehouse that the Lao Tang had reserved beforehand.

Just like yesterday, they found another shop in the business circle. Seeing that Wei Fan and the Lao Tang wanted to cut a rock, the people from the north and south surrounded them.

Because most of the crystals were from Brazil, the quality of the crystals was very high and the color was richer. This time, Lao Tang only took out a piece of Tea Crystal. This was Wei Fan's first time seeing such a color.

The color of the tea crystal was not as active as that of garnet or lampholders. The feeling it gave people was that it had precipitated and calmed down. And the wonderful use of the tea crystal is to keep the wearer calm, peace of mind. Tea crystals are often used to make buddhist beads, allowing the energy they contain to be fully utilized.

Even after the Lao Tang's tea crystal was completely cut out, it still weighed close to eight kilograms. Everyone present was an insider, so they all knew about the value of this tea crystal. Many people had already called out the price. This could be considered as a special feature of the trading of jade and crystal. A group of people were squatting by the roadside, surrounding a rock like migrant workers. However, the price that came out from their mouths was enough to shock most people.

Seeing that the owner of the stone didn't reject everyone's offer, for retailers who came from all over the country to buy good materials, this was definitely a good thing. The price of the tea crystal slowly rose as well.

However, Wei Fan and Lao Tang still did not speak, they continued to polish the stone in their hands. As the two continued to cut out the ingredients, the surrounding crowd began to exclaim in admiration. Everyone looked at Wei Fan and Lao Tang in jealousy and envy, their luck was really too good.

"I say, everyone, we are going to change hands. The highest bidder has it, everyone bid!" Lao Tang said in a calm and composed manner.

Maybe because there are so many people, everyone felt like if I don't get it, they would be taken away by the opponent, so the final price was 20% more than what Lao Tang estimated. Lao Tang knew that the reason why the money came so quickly was because of Wei Fan, so he gave the extra 20% to Wei Fan. Wei Fan rejected it, but seeing that Lao Tang was determined to take it, he accepted it.

In the afternoon, the two went to the reserved warehouse. Grandpa Wang had already brought them two big piles of stones. Although Wei Fan's stones did not look as much as the Lao Tang's, the materials that were used were definitely better than his.

The Lao Tang didn't want to use the stone slicer to break the rock, he planned to transport it home and wash it with sulfuric acid. Wei Fan cut a few more pieces without a care and sold them. After a while, he brought another pile of stones back. With this, Wei Fan reckoned that he had spent enough money and decided to pick a time to go back.

On the second day, the Lao Tang arranged for someone to pass on the mission and brought Wei Fan's stones back to Demonic City. Just as the two decided to leave for now, and Lao Tang continued to bring Su Qing'er to play in the south, the voices of the people beside them floated into Lao Tang's ears, causing him to change his mind.

"Little Wei, Master Su came to the East Sea."

Looking at Lao Tang's excited expression, Wei Fan really couldn't understand, what exactly did this Master Su do?

Seeing that Wei Fan did not understand these basic knowledge, Lao Tang quickly explained it all.

"The carving of this jade is divided into north and south sides, and Yangzhou School is the representative of the south school. This Master Su is the true grandmaster of the south school. Sigh! "We've lost all of the ancestor's things …" As the Lao Tang spoke, he sighed and started to blame himself.

Wei Fan finally understood that this Master Su was actually so famous in the industry! Seeing that the Lao Tang understood him so well, Wei Fan smiled and said: "Then Brother Tang must know this Master Su, shall we go and meet him?"

Lao Tang said a little shamefully: "I only found a relationship four or five years ago and got Old Man Su to carve an artifact. I'm afraid that he doesn't remember me anymore. However, Old Zhu is rather close with Old Man Su, we'll go right away. "

Once they were inside, the Lao Tang immediately asked Old Zhu for two places to see Elder Su.

Zhu Jinqiang grumbled under his breath that there was something wrong with the Lao Tang's attitude, but he still gave an invitation letter. Tonight, there would be a banquet prepared for Elder Su at the Eastsea Hotel.

"Little Wei, can we not go over empty-handed?"

"What about it?" We still need to bring gifts when we go to see that Master Su? " Wei Fan said unhappily. This was the performance of a low EQ.

In China, there are some people who are willing to accept your gifts, so you should be grateful to the ancestors of the eight generations. Grandmaster Su was renowned throughout the country. If he could get on good terms with the other party, Lao Tang would be willing to spend some money.

The Lao Tang laughed bitterly: "It's not a gift. On an occasion like this, Elder Su would pick out some good materials and bring them back to meticulously carve. Moreover, it's free of charge. Therefore, everyone will bring the best materials that they have and hope that Master Su will take a liking to them. "

I understand. However, those who are going tonight won't be ordinary people. There will definitely be plenty of good stuff coming out. Lao Tang was still regretting his decision. He had kept a few pieces of top quality materials at home and had been unable to process them. If he knew that he could meet Elder Su this time, he would have brought them with him no matter what!

Wei Fan did not plan to compete with the others, and planned to see what happened.

The night came quickly, and according to the time on the invitation letter, Wei Fan and Lao Tang came to the Eastsea Hotel.

After handing over the invitation letters, the hotel staff led Wei Fan and Lao Tang to the banquet hall. In the middle of the crowd, a casually dressed old man became the target of everyone's admiration.

Lao Tang also said with a fanatical expression, "It really is Elder Su."

Wei Fan's gaze was a little confused, because he felt the aura of a cultivator from this old man.
