Beauty and the Bodyguard

Regardless of changing the mining area, sixteen pieces of spiritual jade are exchanged for one small spiritual jade. Anyone with a normal IQ will know what to choose.

Meng Jueguang thought that he could finally achieve his goal, but Lin Yi's next words almost made him spit out blood: "I won't change."

"Damn it! Why don't you change this? Are you sick!" Before Meng Jueguang could say anything, Meng Tong had already jumped up. He was still refusing to exchange sixteen pieces of spiritual jade for one small spiritual jade. This Lin Yi is simply crazy!

"Shut up!" Meng Jueguang glared at him, then turned to Lin Yi and said, "Why don't you want to change? Could it be that, Junior Brother Lin Yi, you still can't trust me?"

Lin Yi glanced at him playfully and said calmly: "Sixteen pieces of spiritual jade are exchanged for me a small spiritual jade. A fool can see that there is something wrong with this, so why should I change? Maybe my small spiritual jade is better Special, worth much more than sixteen yuan?"

"Hey, I took care of you and gave you the benefits. Not only do you not appreciate it, you actually think that you are a rare commodity, don't you?" After Meng Jueguang realized what he was doing, he burst out laughing and said with disdain: "Don't be so whimsical, boy, you are so small Apart from being smaller in size, there is nothing special about the spirit jade. If I hadn’t taken care of you, your little spirit jade would only be worth half a piece of spirit jade at most, and you want more than sixteen pieces? It’s just a fool’s errand!”

"Since it's nothing special, then why do you want to exchange so many spiritual jades with me? Are these spiritual jades of yours just useless jade?" Lin Yi asked. In fact, in the past few days after he got the small jade, he really didn't find any difference from other jade except for the size. But if he said that there was nothing fishy about it, Lin Yi would never believe it.

"You can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense!" Meng Jueguang's expression suddenly changed, and he said righteously: "The trading of scrap jade in the market is strictly prohibited on Tianjie Island. Besides, Junior Brother Lin Yi, you have been mining for two days. , everyone should know the situation in Lingyu Hall. Waste jade has always been piled up in the veins to continue to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and no piece of it is allowed to be released. How can I have so much waste jade in my hand?"

Lin Yi glanced at him noncommittally. Although Meng Jueguang's words were not lies, they were not entirely true. At most, they were just used to deceive newcomers who had just arrived. Tianjie Island does stipulate that trading with waste jade is not allowed, but this is actually like counterfeit money in the secular world. It can be banned on the surface, but private transactions cannot be completely eliminated.

Of course, it is very simple for practitioners to identify good jade and waste jade, so the probability of success using waste jade to mix it with fish eyes is not high, so under normal circumstances people will consume all the spiritual energy in the jade. Instead of deliberately wasting spiritual energy and leaving waste jade. Therefore, for most people, it is normal to have one or two pieces of unused scrap jade on hand, but it is rare to save as much as sixteen pieces!

However, it is unlikely for others, but it may not be impossible for Meng Jueguang, who is deliberately trying to trick Lin Yi. Besides, he has a wide network of contacts in Lingyu Hall, so it is not difficult to get a few pieces of scrap jade!

For fear that Lin Yi would reveal his flaws if he continued to ask questions, Meng Jueguang quickly dispelled his doubts and said: "Forget it, lest you become suspicious, I'll tell you the truth. The reason why I spent such a high price to exchange for your little jade is, besides letting you You agreed to change the mining area, mainly because you were entrusted by someone to use your piece of spiritual jade to make jade carvings."

"Jade carving?" Lin Yi was stunned. This kind of thing is very common in the secular world. However, although spiritual jade is also a good jade with excellent texture, its texture is quite hard because it is filled with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It is difficult to use it like this. Jade carving should be difficult to operate.

"Yes, you also know that spiritual jade full of spiritual energy is very hard and difficult to cut. However, if the spiritual energy inside is consumed, the quality of the jade will be reduced. Therefore, if you want to use spiritual jade to make jade carvings, you must You need to use original spiritual jade of similar size. In jade mines, these spiritual jade are all divided into veins. When you mine each piece, the size will be broken out according to the original veins. It is not something you want to smash. Smash the ones as big as they are, so the smaller ones are more suitable for carving. Even the masters with peak strength in the later stages of foundation building will find it difficult to cut the larger ones completely!"

Meng Jueguang glanced at Lin Yi and continued: "In a while, it will be the birthday of the only granddaughter of the master of Chongtian Pavilion. Zhao Yu, the grandson of Elder Zhao of Qingyun Pavilion, wants to find someone to carve a personal jade rabbit sculpture as a birthday gift, so he went around I’m looking for someone to collect a piece of spiritual jade the size of an egg, and now it’s found on my head, and I’m thinking that you happen to have such a small piece of spiritual jade on your hand, so I want to exchange it with you. Now I know the cause and effect.”

Lin Yi nodded slightly. This explanation did not seem to be empty talk. After all, apart from its small size, there was nothing special about his little jade. Apart from using it as a jade carving, it really had no other great use.

However, to put it another way, Qiao Hongcai and Xiao Ran are not very good friends. Wouldn't it be easier for him to threaten these two people? Why bother with yourself? So Lin Yi still didn't believe him.

Seeing this, Meng Jueguang hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "This kind of small spiritual jade is actually useless in your hands, and although this size is rare, you can still find it as long as you go out and ask around. Senior brother, I spent so much time." I bought this piece of your business at a large price. I am totally taking care of you! Again, there is no store like this after passing this village. If you don’t want to, I will turn around and find someone else, without saying a word! "

Lin Yi pondered for a moment, and then said: "If you want to exchange for this little jade, you can, I want thirty yuan!"

Meng Jueguang was a little happy after hearing the first half of the sentence, but after hearing the second half, he was just shocked and angry. Next to him, Meng Tong couldn't help but jump to his feet and said: "Damn it! You bastard is just raising the price!"

Meng Jueguang hesitated for a moment and said: "Seventeen yuan, no more! Lin Yi, you have to think clearly, you are not the only one who has the little jade, don't go too far!"

"Twenty-eight yuan." Lin Yi said calmly.

"Eighteen yuan!" If it had been any other time, Meng Jueguang would have at least walked away long ago, not to mention falling out in person. But now that the plan was about to be completed, he couldn't bear to waste all his efforts, so he had to grit his teeth and continue to increase the price.

"Twenty-six yuan." Lin Yi continued without changing his expression, and looking at his posture, he seemed to be very interested in continuing to spend it.

Meng Jueguang gritted his teeth and took out four pieces of spiritual jade from his large sleeve robe...
