Chapter 186: Chapter 186: Carve Another
One of the bodyguards couldn’t hold up and knelt directly, his legs giving way.
Li Sheng, the auction house owner, shook uncontrollably, and he realized what was going on.
No wonder Chuwei, this young girl, had the courage to come to the third floor; surrounded by so many bodyguards yet still unafraid in the face of danger, she turned out to be a big shot.
Just like it’s written in martial arts novels, removing a single leaf could end the lives of a group of people.
What did she have to fear?
The ones who should be afraid are them, right?
Li Sheng patted his heart, secretly relieved that he didn’t act rashly without understanding the situation; otherwise, he might have been in big trouble by now! ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NovelHub(.)net
Li Sheng watched Bai Chuwei carving tofu, oh no, carving jade, and carefully sat on the sofa at a distance from her.
Li Sheng held the small stack of Yellow Talismans, his eyes gleaming red.
Based on Chuwei’s performance just now, these Spirit Talismans were one hundred percent authentic and were very likely even more effective than those of the Hengshan recluse!
Li Sheng hurriedly said, “Miss Bai, you don’t have to pay for the items you bid on; I was presumptuous just now.”
Bai Chuwei paused in her carving of the Jade Talisman, lifted her gaze to him, her eyes calm, “Xiaoli, you lack sincerity.”
The girl’s languid tone almost made Li Sheng break out in a cold sweat. He sat on the edge of the sofa, so nervous that he dared not fully sit down, occupying only the front half.
“Xiaoli, do you think my Spirit Talismans are not better than the bunch of draft papers you just sold?”
Bai Chuwei didn’t say “waste paper”—the Hengshan recluse’s Spirit Talismans did have some effect, otherwise those wealthy folks wouldn’t have fought over them like that.
But Chuwei was unimpressed.
Li Sheng had spent decades dealing with society and instantly understood when he heard this, “Miss Bai, how much do you think one of these talismans is worth?”
Bai Chuwei held up one finger, “One million per talisman.”
Only one million per talisman? There was huge money-making potential here! The Hengshan recluse’s Spirit Talismans had sold for three million, couldn’t Miss Bai’s talismans sell for even more?
Li Sheng almost thought he was about to receive a pie from the sky, his head spinning.
“I only have one requirement: if you come upon various Spiritual Medicines, you must first bring them to me. From now on, I can sell you five Spirit Talismans per month at the price of one million each.”
This was definitely a profitable deal!
“No problem!” Li Sheng agreed immediately.
Bai Chuwei had a total of ten Spirit Talismans worth ten million; disregarding the four million from the auction, Li Sheng still owed Bai Chuwei six million.
Li Sheng wiped his hands and hurriedly said, “Miss Bai, six million is not a small sum; please wait a moment for me to arrange the money.”
Bai Chuwei casually acknowledged and placed the carved Orchid Jade Talisman on the table.
The jade orchid was only the size of a palm, carved so lifelike that it seemed almost like a real flower.
Little Yellow Hair at the side watched in amazement, unable to hide his admiration, “It’s so beautiful, Miss Bai, you are such an amazing carver!”
Let’s not even talk about the fact that Chuwei used a soft leaf to carve the hard jade—the craftsmanship was beyond reproach!
Without even lifting her eyelids, Bai Chuwei said indifferently, “I learned it a long time ago.”
During the long five thousand plus years, without relatives, friends, or lovers, life had been hard to endure.
When people are bored, they like to find things to do. She had learned wood carving, stone carving, jade carving, bamboo engraving, ice sculpting, clay modeling…
Oh, and also sand sculpting.
Carving an orchid with Spiritual Power—she could do it in five minutes with her eyes closed.
The jade stone was quite large, and only half was used to carve the Orchid Jade Talisman. After some thought, Bai Chuwei picked up the remaining half and continued carving…
There’s another person, so carve another.
