Her Cultivation Diary

Chapter 2231: Chapter 1885: Refusing to Admit Defeat! (Part 3)

...

Because of what happened on the mountain, when Song Tan came back she just happened to see Lun Chuan eating at home, so she hurriedly lowered her voice and asked:

"That Daoist Master you mentioned, maybe we should invite him over after all."

Lun Chuan nodded. "I think we should too. Say what you will, a lot of people claim they don’t believe in this stuff, but once they hear someone say the place is good, they still feel more at ease."

"You’re selling your apartments so cheap, by then there’ll definitely be a lot of people talking sour. Listen long enough, and even fake talk starts to sound true."

If they invited a master to take a look in advance, no matter whether he was just going through the motions or not, it would still calm everyone’s hearts.

Besides, they were inviting a Daoist Master from a well-known Daoist Temple. He had certification, was legal, and had even pursued higher education—no matter how you looked at it, there was no downside.

He rattled on and on.

Song Tan asked, "How much would it cost to invite him? I’m saying this up front, anything in the millions is out of the question."

This left Lun Chuan speechless. "I’ve never invited one either."

Especially for something like a feng shui consultation—how was he supposed to know?

But if the man really had any cultivation—

He wiped his hands clean and at this moment pulled a jade pendant out from his lapel. It was the jadeite peach Song Tan had once given him.

The peach was oily-smooth, its green so vivid it seemed to glow; the white areas were transparent and warm, with a touch of peach-red at the tip, especially perfect and striking.

If you looked closely, it even seemed as if there was liquid slowly flowing inside.

But Lun Chuan looked at this often and knew long ago that was just an illusion.

Still, he went on, "Do you have any more jade like this? I’ll have someone send it along to the Daoist Temple together, and see if the Daoist Master is tempted."

If he’s tempted, that means he’s got some cultivation, right?

Since he’s got some cultivation, he probably won’t care that much about money.

If it doesn’t lure him in, then we’ll talk price.

Charging millions would be way over the top—their little township development wasn’t some prime land king in a top-tier CBD, anyone could tell that’s impossible. That kind of thing only exists in books for the sake of drama.

Good, good, good—turns out asking Lun Chuan about this kind of thing is never wrong.

As for the jadeite, Song Tan gave him a cautious look. "No more. That jadeite rice beads necklace you gave me last time is gone too."

This wasn’t surprising. When Song Tan wore things, she might complain they were a hassle, but she wasn’t the type to treasure them so much she’d keep them locked away.

Some pendants she had already put on, and she was wearing the gold bangle too.

The ones that hadn’t shown up yet were mostly things she’d used for some purpose.

But jewelry sent away was just jewelry; Lun Chuan didn’t mind, as long as it was useful to her.

After thinking a bit, he took out his phone. "I’ll ask them to send over some more pictures. You can pick."

Last time, for that little multi-million deal, the guy had flown all the way over just for this sort of slow and steady long-term business.

After pausing, he added, "I made quite a bit this year from stocks and funds, so feel free to pick something bolder."

Song Tan sucked in a sharp breath. "You made money that fast? Should I pick something worth a billion?"

Lun Chuan: ...If she picked something worth a billion, he’d have to go into a mad rush of crazy updates, extra Chapters, and desperate writing, then sell off every copyright he had just to survive, right?

"Wake up." He pushed his girlfriend’s face back. "Stop watching those short dramas with domineering CEOs with my mom. Is any of those CEOs better-looking than me? You already possess such a magnificent face—what do you need such expensive jewelry for?"

Song Tan burst out laughing. "Listen to you brag!"

Yikes! Talking in terms of hundreds of millions and tens of millions—she really wasn’t a plain, simple countryside girl anymore.

As for picking jewelry... it was way more convenient to choose online.

Song Tan stated her requirements. "I want another string of jadeite beads, quality higher than last time. The size of the beads doesn’t matter, what matters is there being a lot of them."

This time she wouldn’t wear it either, just keep it. Before they went to survey the land, she had to bury all the beads, bury them deep!

She refused to believe she couldn’t beat that Daoist Master!

"As for the gift... a pendant worth a hundred thousand, no more! That’s my blood and sweat money! And while you’re at it, pick another pendant that feels right to you and I’ll nurture it for you."

After all, Lun Chuan had already noticed it. Even though neither of them had said anything outright, she didn’t mind showing a bit more.

That’s right, that jadeite peach that hadn’t originally been such good quality was something she had nurtured, and it had taken her a lot of effort.

Hmph!

The earthy little farm owner thought proudly: it’s just that she doesn’t have that strong a desire to make money.

Otherwise, with this skill alone, she really could be picking billion-level jewelry right now!

But then she looked at Lun Chuan’s face—

Forget it, he had a point. With a face this magnificent, even if he wasn’t that rich, it was still forgivable.
