Chapter 140: Once a Miner!
Qin Feng brought 180 million and returned with Su Ruolan to the stall that sold the rare medicinal materials they had visited earlier. After paying and collecting the materials, they completed the task for this outing.
If it weren't for promising Lord Dog to treat the Second Lady Mu tomorrow, he would have rushed back to try alchemy with Lord Tianji's Alchemy Furnace.
It was still early, so after collecting the materials, the two continued to wander around the black market.
Qin Feng went to the next stall, picked up the small glass bottle of lavender that Su Ruolan had liked before, and handed it to her, saying, "This is for you."
"Ah? This, how can I accept this!"
Su Ruolan hurriedly waved her hands.
This lavender was worth 8 million, and she dared not accept such an expensive gift.
"Take it! You helped a lot in collecting the medicinal materials, and you even came all the way here with me." Qin Feng said with a smile.
Su Ruolan still wanted to refuse.
The shop owner, fearing the deal would fall through, hurriedly said, "Young lady, this is a kind gesture from that young man, how can you refuse? Let's do this, as we discussed earlier, I'll give you another bottle... no, two bottles of 'Daughter Fragrance'!"
Hearing "a kind gesture," Su Ruolan's heart trembled, and she finally nodded and accepted it, saying, "Thank you..."
"You're welcome," Qin Feng responded.
"Two bottles of 'Daughter Fragrance', I can't even use them all; you take one back for Yunxiao," Su Ruolan said.
"That's a good idea, I'll give one to my wife," Qin Feng said with a smile.
Upon hearing the word "wife."
Su Ruolan suddenly remembered, he was a married man, and suddenly her heart ached faintly as if someone was squeezing it tightly.
At this moment, the shop owner's eyes widened in confusion.
Thinking they were a couple, then realizing Qin Feng actually had a wife, was too complicated for him...
Su Ruolan, noticing the meaning in his eyes, felt somewhat ashamed and quickly pulled Qin Feng away from there.
Qin Feng saw her face was a bit awkward, and asked what was wrong.
"Nothing..."
Su Ruolan shook her head, trying to calm herself down, and then changed the subject, "By the way, how did you discover there were jade stones in those rocks?"
"That... just experience, I guess!" Qin Feng replied.
"Experience?"
Su Ruolan looked at him in surprise, "Have you come across them before?"
"No, I used to work as a 'miner'."
Qin Feng gave a wry smile.
When he was a child, he had a serious illness.
Beidou Old Divine Doctor borrowed Namo Craftsmen Master's mine cave to treat his illness, and the mine was interspersed with unmined jade stones.
High-quality jade has effects such as soothing the soul, regulating blood vessels, moisturizing the heart and lungs, and clearing the eyes and ears.
Moreover, jade stones themselves contain trace elements such as zinc, iron, copper, manganese, titanium, calcium, potassium, sodium, etc., which can supplement human deficiencies and expel waste elements if worn for a long time.
Of course.
In terms of effects, the impact is minimal.
But for Qin Feng's childhood illness, it was very effective.
Moreover, the whole mine had a particularly large amount of jade; they kept him there for a full forty-nine days, allowing him to develop a special feeling for jade stones.
Later, after his illness was cured as a token of thanks, he was assigned to assist Namo Craftsmen Master in mining jade stones from the mine.
Over time.
He became even more familiar with the feel of jade stones; if the layer of rock wasn't thick enough, he could tell just by touching it.
"Anyway, I think we should get out of here quickly," Su Ruolan said, "You picked out all the jade stones, ruining their business, they're sure to seek revenge, and the Qian family is the third ranking among the Eight Kings."
"It's fine, they're just a bunch of ants, let's continue browsing!" Qin Feng said as he went to other stalls and the shops in the building to wander around.
Ants?
Su Ruolan watched his unconcerned back in utter astonishment.
Before, he referred to the Black Scorpion and Centipede as mere ants.
He thought he knew Lord Dog, so he dared to be so "arrogant".
Now.
He even dares to say that the Qian family, ranked third among the Southwest Eight Kings, are also ants.
This made Su Ruolan feel that every time she thought she understood him better, she suddenly discovered she didn't understand him nearly enough...
The sun was about to set.
The two of them bought some other items and then planned to leave.
Standing by the third-floor window, Qian Baiyu watched them, his expression cold.
The person behind him frowned and said, "Mr. Qian, it looks like they are leaving. Shouldn't we make a move now?"
"Wait a bit longer."
Qian Baiyu said, frowning.
It was at this time that he began to reevaluate Qin Feng.
After a day of observation.
He realized he had made a huge mistake.
Qin Feng didn't seem to be the young man living off others, he had astonishing skills in stone gambling beyond that, in every shop he bought something, the look in his eyes was not that of someone who had never seen the world.
On the contrary, he always seemed to find those treasures too inferior, as if he had seen greater things.
Even.
He bought a spoon of Medicine King's brew Daughter Red at a stall, but after only tasting a sip, he spat it out, claiming the wine was fake.
Qian Baiyu, however, was a regular at that stall, where he purchased Medicine King's brew Daughter Red, which he was so reluctant to drink, always sipping carefully to savor and enjoy, used to boast about it, it turns out he had been enjoying fake wine for so many years!
So, while Qian Baiyu was angry, he also wondered if he had underestimated that young man.
At this moment.
A subordinate returned here and handed over a piece of information, saying: "Mr. Qian, we have found their information."
Qian Baiyu opened the information and looked through it.
When he saw Su Ruolan's information, he immediately opened his eyes wide in astonishment and a greedy look flashed through them, muttering: "So she is a Holy Doctor's granddaughter, and she herself is a medical genius, very good, very good..."
At the same time.
He became more convinced that Qin Feng was no ordinary person.
Otherwise, why would Su Ruolan, with such great credentials, fall for him?
Qian Baiyu flipped through Qin Feng's information.
Upon seeing this.
His face instantly changed colors, he asked his subordinate, "Are you sure the information is correct?"
"He's quite well-known in Lake City, so it's easier to verify, we can be sure the information is real..." the subordinate hurriedly said.
"Quite well-known?"
Another person seeing this, hurriedly asked Qian Baiyu: "Mr. Qian, what's wrong? Could it be that this young man really has significant backing?"
He then looked at the information and also became puzzled, saying: "That, that guy, turns out to be an absolute loser? This, this..."
"Damn it!"
Qian Baiyu crumpled up the information into a ball.
He had wanted to get back at Qin Feng all day.
He was almost fooled by the way Qin Feng was shopping, thinking he was someone of significant backing.
Turns out he's just an absolute loser!
Moreover.
His Xu family in Little Lake City is nothing but a third-rate small family, and according to the information gathered, the Xu family treats him just as casually as they would a dog.
Now.
He, the great Qian family young master, actually thought he was someone of significant standing!
The more Qian Baiyu thought about it, the more he felt humiliated, and angrily said, "Go, tear that young man to pieces!!"
