Chapter 555 -555: The Jade Brick Appears

Senior Yan was not familiar with numbers like “1234,” but there were small notes beside the numbers.

On these notes, the “one, two, three, four,” which he did recognize, and the “plus, minus, times, divide” were not unfamiliar to him.

The reason why this calculator was a gift was that Arabic numerals did not exist in this plane. Feng Jun could “seal script” all textual items, but he could not do the same for all the numbers.

So he gifted the Pan family ten calculators. Such a small gift was inexpensive and beneficial, not only helping the other party quickly understand Arabic numerals but also maintaining a good relationship with his clients.

Senior Yan tested it and found the device to be indeed very useful. Originally known for his computational prowess, his mental calculation ability was extremely strong, yet this calculator was scarcely weaker than him when it came to large numerical computations.

This was very useful. As a cultivator at the Dust-Free Stage, Senior Yan certainly had powerful mental calculation abilities, but mental arithmetic was extremely draining on one’s energy and mind, requiring full concentration without any distractions. Sustaining it for too long could harm the cultivator’s vitality and spirit.

If he used a calculator, the computational efficiency per unit time might be slightly lower, but it wouldn’t harm his body. The key was… it could calculate for long periods without fatigue and without affecting efficiency.

“This item is good,” a rare smile appeared on Senior Yan’s face, “Renjie is thoughtful.”

“Uncle Master, I can only lend this to you,” Pan Renjie spoke solemnly, “after all, it belongs to the family. If it were mine, that would be another matter… Feng Daoist friend said it’s a gift. It should not be difficult for you to ask him for one.”

Senior Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded decisively, “Alright then.”

Feng Jun took away the Lingzhi Formation, also to make the other party believe that he still needed to use this Array Plate for deducing and analyzing.

In fact, after returning to his courtyard, he felt that his body had mostly recovered over the past two days, so he packed the Jade in a Storage Bag and directly left the mobile phone plane.

He did this four times, transporting all the cut Jade to the construction site of the villa.

It was not yet dark, but since the construction had reached a stopping point, all the workers had gone to rest, not even a guard was left at the site—within Luohua Manor, there was actually no need for a guard, as the entrance to the mountain was thoroughly checked.

After placing the Jade down, Feng Jun looked around with satisfaction, wanting to show off to Sister Hong, but he found her still fast asleep in her room.

She had not rested the entire night. Excited due to her advancement in cultivation level, she went to “solidify” her cultivation in the Bamboo Forest and only came back at ten in the morning after having a big meal before going to sleep.

Feng Jing had taken a short nap until nine, yawning as she went off to work, saying she planned to get more sleep in the office.

With no one to show off to, Feng Jun was looking around for someone when he saw Zhang Cai Xin walking through the courtyard gate. He waved her over, “Cai Xin, come see something fun.”

Zhang Cai Xin rolled her eyes at him and headed straight to the back building, muttering under her breath, “Stinking hooligan, got me drunk… favoring those two with their advancement, isn’t that too biased?”

When she woke up from her sleep, her head was splitting from a hangover, and then she found out that both had advanced to the third level of Transcendence, looking radiant. How could she not know what had happened last night?

Her cultivation speed far surpassed that of her two sisters, but she still felt it was unfair—was favoritism supposed to be this outrageous?

“Come,” Feng Jun didn’t care about that, pulling her toward the construction site, “Follow me.”

“No,” Zhang Cai Xin resisted fiercely, but was no match for his strength as she was dragged along, stumbling.

Once they reached the deserted construction site, her heart couldn’t help beating wildly, and her face became a bit hot, but she remained defiant, “You stinking hooligan, what are you thinking? After a whole night of exertion, not to make fun of you… but do you still have it in you?”

In fact, she had slept quite deeply the previous night. Although being at the sixth level of Transcendence she could expel some of the alcohol from her system, she lacked enough mental preparation and actually enjoyed the tipsiness—the joy of advancing in cultivation levels.

Unwittingly amidst the toasting and drinking, she drank too much—of course, this was because she was with her own people, more relaxed, which she would never do with outsiders.

Although she slept soundly all night, she knew what Cultivation Technique Sister Hong and Teacher Mei were practicing with Feng Jun.

It’s not said for nothing that sisters don’t have grievances lasting overnight. She and Sister Wei Hong had a particularly unpleasant time a while ago, but after it was over, everything was discussed openly, and the sisters even unprecedentedly discussed each other’s Cultivation Techniques in private.

Zhang Cai Xin was quite proud of being able to practice the Book of Five Elements Transcendence, as it proved she had high aptitude. Sister Hong and Teacher Mei could only practice the shameful Dragon Phoenix Supreme Heart Method.

But aside from feeling proud, she was also a bit aggrieved: why should I have to cultivate hard based on my aptitude while they can comfortably lie down and cultivate with their double cultivation?

Anyway, she guessed that he was hard at work the night before, which is why they also advanced—in cultivation level right after she had.

Could she possibly not feel some resentment?

Feng Jun looked at her in surprise, “What are you thinking about? As a man, how could I be not up to par… I mean, take a look at these jade bricks and jade wall tiles.”

Zhang Cai Xin then shifted her attention over and saw the neatly stacked piles of jade. She couldn’t help but gape, asking in astonishment, “Is this… is this already processed?”

She had seen the jade stones piled up before; there were quite a few, but since jade had been sold for a long time, she had gotten used to it—heroes are commonplace to those accustomed to seeing them, nothing more than that.

But she had never seen jade stones cut so neatly and stacked up together, and the quantity of these jade stones didn’t seem to be any less than before.

— And indeed, that was the case. Feng Jun had brought jade stones last time, expecting the construction site workers to process them, with the thought that if they ran out, he would just go and get more.

But this time, he had a large quantity of jade stones processed directly, aiming to get it right in one go, with excess rather than shortage.

Zhang Cai Xin stepped forward to take a closer look and shook her head, “It’s just a simple polish, very poorly done.”

Of course, it’s a simple polish. In fact, in the mobile phone dimension, there were not a few people polishing jade stones, several hundred in fact. This task even caused a lot of confusion among everyone—was such refinement really necessary?

However, some people expressed understanding, such as Master Yan—he knew deeply the sentiment that “when those above show preference for something, those below will follow suit,” thinking to himself that these mere Huashi stones were treated with such meticulous care by Fellow Daoist Feng, which shows that there must be great cultivators who like this stuff.

Feng Jun knew that the polishing was very average, but he thought it was good enough, “I’m using these jade stones to build a house, not to hold and play with in my hands. What’s the point of making it so glossy? A house will get old sooner or later after living in it for a long time.”

Zhang Cai Xin slightly furrowed her brows, her pretty almond-shaped eyes staring widely, “But… you’re building a new house now!”

“It’s like having a new car that you’re excited about for maybe half a year,” grumbled Feng Jun reluctantly, “then it doesn’t matter anymore.”

Such a thing, how to put it? It’s just human nature.

Zhang Cai Xin laughed lightly, looking at him sidelong with a delicate expression, “Master, you said you wanted to build a house of jade to hide beauty… I wonder, who are you planning to hide inside?”

Feng Jun grinned, “Who else could it be? Of course, it’s my own Xiao Cai Xin.”

That face, filled with exotic charm, instantly blossomed open, and the joy emanating from deep within could not be contained.

But then Feng Jun continued on his own, “But if it’s just you living there, it’ll be too lonely; I think you’ll feel lonesome. So, it would be better if your sister and Teacher Mei… also moved in.”

Zhang Cai Xin’s smile vanished in an instant, and she spoke coldly, “This building has a dozen rooms, right?”

The third building that Feng Jun was constructing was indeed not small. Although it had only two floors and a loft on the balcony, he had transported jade stones with his super-sized storage bag four times already, and that’s a storage bag with more than sixty cubic meters of space.

The building covered nearly two hundred square meters, and as he had no plans to entertain guests, it had a living room and such, but they were not particularly huge. Thus, there were about eleven or twelve rooms.

Not all of these rooms would necessarily be used as bedrooms, but Feng Jun had some unspoken ideas in his mind while creating so many rooms—a graceful and virtuous lady is the best partner for a gentleman; such is just a man’s nature.

Seeing her angry, Feng Jun laughed instead, “Forget it, if you’re not interested, you don’t have to live here.”

“Hmph,” Zhang Cai Xin snorted and walked away without turning her head.

Feng Jun stroked his chin and a wry smile appeared on his face. He definitely had feelings for Zhang Cai Xin, but now this matter… wasn’t up to him. He had already gotten together with Sister Hong and Sister Wei Hong; was he supposed to deny responsibility?

In his mind, if it couldn’t be helped, he could take Xiao Cai Xin as his apprentice. Given her aptitude, she should be able to keep up with him for quite a long time on the cultivation journey. It’s important to cherish companions in cultivation.

Of course, taking her as an apprentice was somewhat unsatisfying for him, but that matter… could be pondered slowly later on.

Later that day, Sister Hong and Wei Hong also saw the jade bricks. Sister Hong excitedly stated that these things must be polished well—just the thought of a home made of jade stones was thrilling.

The next day, when the workers started their day, the news spread. These construction workers were not particularly adept at identifying stones, and some speculated—could this be marble?

However, there were a few who had seen more of the world and believed it might be jade… as marble and jade have different hardness levels.

But this hypothesis did not gain widespread acceptance—if Boss Feng, who deals in jade, could really afford to build a house of jade stones, could he?

Several theories made sense, but in the end, another theory became the mainstream: Boss Feng dealt in jade, so these stones could very likely be by-product ores from jade mining, which is why they looked similar to jade stones.

As for the price… it certainly wouldn’t be cheap.
