Chapter 855: Chapter 852 Imperial Seal

Step step...

Lucas came out of the basement and casually turned on the lights. He glanced over the room’s layout; the door lock and everything else was exactly the same as when he left last time. Seeing no changes, he changed out of his clothes and put on casual wear.

"I’m really not used to this anymore," Lucas stretched his limbs. Having gotten used to life in the other world, he felt a strange sense of burden here.

"Every time I come back, it feels like I’m a thief," Lucas grumbled as he opened the door and walked out, turning on all the lights in the courtyard.

Out of habit, he scanned the area before walking toward the small outbuilding. After unlocking the door, he saw many boxes piled up; the things he had bought recently had arrived.

Lucas began storing them one by one into his inventory until he couldn’t fit any more. There was still more than half of the stuff left in front of him, so he could only bring it back next time.

Click.

Locking the door again, Lucas took a headlamp and went to the fields behind the house. A massive amount of flowers and plants were planted there, all species from the other world. After walking a lap around the fields and finding nothing unusual, he returned to the house.

For these dozen or so acres of flora, Lucas had hired people to help look after them—just routine weeding, fertilizing, and watering. Otherwise, there was no way he could manage over a dozen acres of plants all by himself.

After returning to the house, Lucas went straight to his room, turned on the computer, and began looking up information, printing out the materials he found.

"Let’s find a jadeite company..." Lucas started browsing online. He needed to find a jadeite processing company to turn all the rough stones he brought into the items he needed.

Soon, Lucas found a company called Yugongfang online and scheduled a meeting for ten o’clock tomorrow morning. It was about a three-hour drive from his house.

Lucas stretched lazily. He wouldn’t go back today; it had been too long since he organized things here, and he still had business to discuss with the company.

The next day, as soon as the sun rose, Lucas set out. Carrying a large backpack filled with jadeite, he left the house, in his car, and went straight to the neighboring city.

Three hours later, Lucas got out of the car. Following the address online, he found the company. It was situated within an antique street and possessed some minor fame.

"Looks pretty decent." Lucas paused at the entrance for a moment before walking in. This was a company that sold both jade artifacts and jadeite products.

"May I ask if you need anything?" The receptionist asked with a bright smile.

"I made an appointment last night. I’m here today to discuss the details," Lucas said with a smile on his lips.

"An appointment last night? Mr. Lucas?" The staff member asked softly.

"That’s me," Lucas smiled and nodded.

"Please follow me." The staff led Lucas to a conference room, which even had a cutting machine inside.

She said to Lucas, "Please wait a moment."

"Alright," Lucas sat aside and waited.

Step step step...

Three minutes later, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

An elderly man pushed the door open and walked in. He glanced at Lucas and asked casually, "May I see the rough stone?"

Lucas nodded, opened his backpack, and took out a fist-sized jadeite stone, placing it on the table.

The old man picked it up casually to take a look, then froze. He hurriedly pulled out a flashlight and shone it straight into that hint of green. The next moment, a brilliant green light refracted out.

"This color..." The old man took a deep breath, inwardly astonished. This was one of the purest colors he had seen in all his years.

"Young man, how about selling this rough to me? 440k dollars," The old man offered a price without a second thought.

He couldn’t be blamed for being so direct; the jadeite inside this rough was simply too tempting. Whether it was the transparency or the color, it was among the best he had ever seen in any jadeite. The only downside was its small size.

As for whether this jadeite was artificially made, he could tell at a glance. Having dealt with jadeite for most of his life, he definitely had that level of confidence.

"And you are...?" Lucas raised an eyebrow; the man had opened his mouth and offered 440k dollars to buy his stone right off the bat.

"People call me Elder Cheng. I’m the boss of Yugongfang." The old man handed the jadeite back to Lucas, though he was extremely reluctant to part with it inside.

"Sure, but I have a condition." Lucas held the jadeite and tossed it up and down in his hand.

"What condition?" Cheng’s eyes followed the stone bobbing up and down in Lucas’s hand, so scared he was on the verge of a heart attack.

"I have a few pieces of rough here. Process them for me, and a portion of this rough will serve as the processing fee." Lucas weighed the backpack in his hand.

"Little friend, those rough stones to be processed..." Cheng rubbed his hands together, wearing a look of anticipation.

"Just these few." Lucas opened the backpack and took out the remaining six pieces of jadeite, lining them up one by one on the table.

Cheng immediately grabbed a magnifying glass and a strong flashlight and began inspecting them meticulously. When he saw the stone the size of a human head, he almost cried out in shock.

This...

Just from looking at the exposed parts of the jadeite in each piece of rough, he could tell the transparency and texture were exactly the same as the previous piece.

"Such a massive piece of jadeite... what does my little friend plan to process it into?" The old man asked, suppressing the shock in his heart.

"This biggest one, I want to process it into an Imperial Seal. Process all the remaining pieces into jade bracelets and pendants," Lucas patted the largest stone and said calmly.

"An Imperial Seal?!" Cheng was stunned, looking at Lucas in amazement. He actually wanted to process it into an Imperial Seal? That was truly a rare request.

"Yes," Lucas nodded indifferently.

"It can be done. If you trust me, leave them all to me. As for that piece of rough..." Cheng vowed confidently, though he grew a bit embarrassed toward the end.

"That’s the processing fee," Lucas said with a smile.

"Alright, for the excess value, I will settle it in cash for you, my young friend." Cheng smiled broadly and said to Lucas, "I’ll go grind the stone skin off first."

There were ready-made tools in the conference room. Cheng called a cutting master over and had all the jadeite ground out. Then, after weighing and going through a series of procedures, they signed a few contracts.

Lucas left his phone number and departed. He just needed to come back once the jadeite processing was complete.

Three hours later, Lucas returned to his house. He locked and secured all the doors tightly, preparing to return to the other world.
