Chapter 69: Young Man, Could You Send Me a Copy?

Driving his car, Zhou Yu headed towards Jing City’s People’s Square. Throughout the journey, his mood was very cheerful. Driving his own car just felt better than driving someone else’s.

Three jars of Immortal Flavor Fruit Powder had sold for one hundred and fifty thousand. If the Immortal Flavor Fruits ripened every three days, then in one month, he could earn over a million from the Immortal Flavor Powder alone. That didn’t even include the share from Li Guomin’s shop.

A look of emotion appeared on Zhou Yu’s face. Wealth that seemed unreachable for ordinary people was easily obtained through these plants from the Immortal World.

No wonder that Song Qingxiu said the Divine Chef Villa had immense influence in the Mortal World. Just with these Immortal Flavor Fruits, they could control the entire Mortal World’s food and beverage industry.

After arriving at People’s Square, Zhou Yu parked his car and walked into Yayu Pavilion. “Welcome, may I… Haha, it’s you again,” the middle-aged man at the counter casually greeted, but when he looked up and saw it was Zhou Yu, he immediately laughed.

“What, boss, seems like you don’t welcome me,” Zhou Yu couldn’t help but laugh too. The shop Qi Jinxuan recommended was pretty good, genuine and reliable.

The middle-aged man waved his hand, smiling. “You’re bringing me money, I should be treating you like a guest! How could I not welcome you? So, what price range of jade are you looking for this time?”

“Same size as before. Hetian Jade, one hundred thousand a piece,” Zhou Yu said slowly. Based on his guess, jade stones costing around one hundred thousand each, when arranged into the Counterfeit Spirit Gathering Array, could make his cycling plan a reality.

Hearing Zhou Yu’s words, a look of surprise appeared on the middle-aged man’s face. “Young man, your success keeps growing! Each time you buy more expensive items.”

“I like jade. Before, I didn’t have money. Now that I do, I want to buy more,” Zhou Yu casually offered an explanation.

“Whatever you use it for, as long as I make money. For one hundred thousand a piece, I can give you medium-grade Mutton Fat White Jade. Wait here, I’ll go cut it for you,” the middle-aged man waved dismissively, not caring at all. There were many strange people in the world; he had no interest in asking about others’ purposes.

Zhou Yu called out to stop him. “Boss, what you have back there is like a treasure chest, right? You can cut any kind of jade?” This was something he had wondered about for a long time. It felt like the back of the shop was filled with jade.

“Heh, kid, you think I’m selling fakes? Don’t forget what line of work I’m in. Come in and take a look,” the man laughed at Zhou Yu’s somewhat questioning tone and beckoned him to follow into the back of the shop.

Once inside, Zhou Yu couldn’t help but widen his eyes. It really was a jade warehouse! Jade stones of all sizes were there, from palm-sized to half a person’s height. “Boss, are you running a jade craft shop or a jade stone shop?”

“Haha, can’t a jade craft shop stock up on goods? If you wanted jade at an even higher price point, I wouldn’t have it here; I’d need to get it from somewhere else,” the middle-aged man said with a loud laugh.

“I’ll head out then,” Zhou Yu said after a glance, walking out. He felt this middle-aged man was really not simple.

Soon after, the middle-aged man cut out four pieces of jade. The dimensions were exactly the same as before. Holding them, Zhou Yu could tell at a glance they were of much better quality than the nine-thousand-a-piece ones he bought before. Crystalline white, smooth, and fine—this was real jade.

Four pieces of jade, ninety-five thousand each. Four pieces totaled three hundred eighty thousand. Zhou Yu swiped his bank card on the POS machine.

After saying goodbye to the middle-aged man, he walked out carrying the box with the jade stones, filled with emotion. This trip had cost him six hundred thousand.

Later, Zhou Yu drove his car and carved the Spirit Gathering Array patterns onto each of the four jade stones. While carving, he couldn’t avoid the surprised looks from the jade shop owners. After all, these were near one-hundred-thousand-a-piece jade stones.

After finishing carving the four jade stones, he didn’t stay in Jing City long and headed straight for Taoyuan Village.

However, on a busy road section, he encountered a car accident. Traffic kept stopping and going, annoying Zhou Yu.

After a while, the car in front stopped again. Zhou Yu also stepped on the brake and stopped. After parking, he opened the window for some air. While taking out his mobile phone to browse, he suddenly remembered the Breeze Zither Melody he extracted today. His eyes lit up, and he started playing it.

Although the sound quality recorded on the mobile phone wasn’t great, the zither melody inside still made one feel a gentle breeze on the face. Under this gentle breeze, Zhou Yu’s slightly irritated heart gradually calmed down.

After listening, he didn’t continue playing but stopped to savor the lingering notes of the melody.

Just then, an old voice came from the car window next to him. “Young man, where did you find this zither melody?”

Zhou Yu snapped back to attention and turned to look. He saw an old man wearing a long robe, who appeared scholarly. “Old sir, I just downloaded it randomly online,” he lied without hesitation.

“Oh, downloaded from the web. Which website?” The old man showed a hint of curiosity and asked.

“I downloaded it randomly, can’t remember,” Zhou Yu shook his head. This came from the Immortal World; where on Earth could one find it?

The old man smiled kindly. “Then, young man, could you send me a copy? I think the melody of this zither tune is very good. How much reward do you want? Just say it.”

“Old sir, my mobile phone’s Bluetooth is broken, and I have no internet. I can’t send it. Ah, the road is clear now. I have to go, bye!” Zhou Yu shook his mobile phone, politely refusing the old man’s request. The road happened to clear just then. He grinned, waved at the old man, stepped on the gas, and disappeared into the traffic.

This zither melody from the Immortal World, played personally by Fairy Suxin, couldn’t be casually given to just anyone.

The old man couldn’t stop him in time, watching Zhou Yu vanish from sight. He smiled helplessly, his heart full of regret. “Missing out on this zither melody might become one of life’s great regrets.”

“Teacher Nie, I was inside the car and didn’t hear it. Was the zither melody that person played something special?”

At that moment, another man sitting in the car asked curiously. The teacher beside him was no ordinary person. What kind of zither melody was it that missing it would be called a life’s regret?

The old man surnamed Nie gently shook his head and sighed. “More than just special. If it were spread, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say it could shock the Huaxia ancient music world. Because this zither melody is one I have never heard before. Perhaps it wasn’t passed down from ancient times but was created by someone.”

“If it’s truly as I think, the person who created this piece has such high mastery in ancient music that it’s almost unimaginable. Now that I’ve missed it, until I find that young man, I can only try to compose it based on my memory.”

Hearing Teacher Nie’s words, the man next to him opened his mouth wide, somewhat unable to believe it. A zither melody heard randomly by the roadside could shock the Huaxia ancient music world? How was that possible?

However, the old man surnamed Nie paid him no further mind. He took out paper from the car, frowned deeply, and tried hard to recall the melody of the zither tune he heard from Zhou Yu, attempting to write it down.
