Chapter 166: Chapter 106 Harvest_3

Li Xiu stood by the counter for a while, then pointed at a yellow crystal in a tray and asked, "How much is this?"

"This is natural yellow crystal, it’s five thousand red sand currency per carat," the young girl said.

Small towns usually don’t have their own currency and use the main city’s currency they depend on. Previously, Zhongshan City used Red Sand City’s currency.

Red Sand City’s currency denominations are quite large, but their actual purchasing power is low.

"How much for this one?" Li Xiu pointed at one of the Asche yellow crystals and asked.

When he left, A Fei gave him some red sand currency, not enough to buy precious gemstones but enough for a yellow crystal.

"I’ll weigh it for you." The girl took out the yellow crystal, put it on an electronic scale, and weighed it; it was 21.6 carats.

Five carats equal one gram; this yellow crystal is a little over four grams.

"Altogether, it’s 21.6 carats; I’ll charge you for 21 carats at five thousand per carat, a total of one hundred and five thousand," the girl calculated and said.

Li Xiu took out his wallet, counted one hundred and five thousand, handed it to the girl, and then picked up the yellow crystal to examine it.

Interestingly, Li Xiu had visited several stores on Gem Street before without finding a gemstone that piqued his interest.

Unexpectedly, with this father and son, he found the second one here.

This yellow crystal is big and shiny, and the Asche square cut makes its edges clear. When illuminated, it glows beautifully with golden light.

"What’s going on?" An old man and a middle-aged man came out and, seeing Li Xiu handling the yellow crystal, asked the girl beside them.

"This gentleman bought that yellow crystal, a total of 21.6 carats, we charged him one hundred and five thousand red sand currency," the girl handed the money to the middle-aged man.

The old man and the middle-aged man felt strange, closely inspecting the yellow crystal in Li Xiu’s hand. Although it was very bright, they didn’t see anything wrong with it.

"Have you brought the pink apatite?" Li Xiu asked.

"It’s all here, take your time looking," the middle-aged man placed a tray with pink apatite on the counter, totaling thirteen pieces, all teardrop-shaped, varying from three to four carats to about ten carats.

Li Xiu closely observed that the pink apatite quality was quite good, nearly invisible inclusions, and the colors were very pure, each dazzlingly pink under the light, rivaling the batch of pink apatite he had obtained from the mining site before.

"How much?" Li Xiu asked after a thorough examination.

"Are you paying with red sand currency or trading with gemstones?" the old man asked with a smile.

"Will you accept this for trade?" Li Xiu took out a Demon Core.

"Demon Core? What grade of Demon Core?" The father and son’s eyes lit up upon seeing the Demon Core.

"The lowest, grade E," Li Xiu replied.

"Grade E, huh, that’s a bit low. These apatites are all top-grade, each piece priced differently. The small ones, around three carats, can be traded one E-grade Demon Core per carat. For the five carat ones, you need two cores per carat..." the middle-aged man mused.

"I’ll take them all." Li Xiu pulled out a bag of Demon Cores and placed it on the table. These were ordinary goods brought from Sea Heaven Trial Ground. Li Xiu wasn’t particularly interested in these ordinary E-grade Demon Cores now.

He knew the middle-aged man’s pricing wasn’t cheap, even higher than market price, but it didn’t matter.

If they conduct honest trade, they’ll make money from these Demon Cores. If not, making money won’t be their concern.

The middle-aged man was overjoyed, calculated everything, and Li Xiu paid smoothly before taking all thirteen pink apatites.

"Please have a good day, sir." As Li Xiu left Da Liang Gem Store, the father and son cheerfully saw him to the door.

Li Xiu hadn’t gone far from Da Liang Gem Store when several people dressed in City Lord’s Mansion uniforms surrounded him.

The leader, a man in his forties or fifties, assessed Li Xiu and sneered, "Jani, Captain of the City Guards, ordered to investigate stolen goods from the City Lord’s Mansion. Please cooperate with the inspection."

Li Xiu looked at Jani, without saying anything, merely pointing behind him.

"What are you pointing at?" An impatient City Guard beside Jani moved to slap Li Xiu’s hand.

However, Jani sensed something amiss, restrained the guard’s hand, and turned to look behind.

They saw a woman standing by a car nearby, staring at Jani.

The woman’s face bore a scar slashing across her face, appearing fierce and terrifying.

Jani’s heart sank at the sight of the woman; he wasn’t afraid of her appearance but her identity.

He knew who she was, and his heart felt half-dead.

Turning back to Li Xiu, Jani forced a smile on his face, "We were also ordered to investigate previously lost treasures from the City Lord’s Mansion. Didn’t expect you to be one of us, truly sorry, I apologize."

Li Xiu merely glanced at Jani, said nothing, and walked past him, sitting in the back of the car.

A Fei glanced at Jani, then sat in the driver’s seat and drove away.

At this, Jani’s heart sank completely. The woman and Sha Chu jointly oversee all city matters, second only to the City Lord.

Anyone who has that woman as their driver... Jani can easily guess who that is.

"Uncle Six, why did you let him go?" The middle-aged man ran over, puzzled.

Slap!

Jani slapped the middle-aged man across the face, leaving him stunned, clutching his swollen face, both aggrieved and confused, "Uncle Six, what are you doing?"

"Old Six, are you crazy, why are you hitting him?" The old man ran over too, angrily pointing at Jani and scolding.

"Do you idiots want to die? I still want to live." Jani raged, pointing at the two, "How many lives do you two have? You dare to provoke that person, prepare coffins at home."

The father and son instantly froze, the old man hurriedly grabbed Jani and asked, "Old Six, clarify, who exactly is that person, are they really that influential? You can’t straighten this out?"

"Me? In front of them, I’m nothing but a fart. No need to say anything more, you two head back, inform your wives and prepare for the end." Jani’s words struck them like lightning, leaving both stunned in place.
