Chapter 480, Lan Dai Sibing
Most of the Xuanbing and Dragon Palace have been cut during mining, and they are block-shaped, like transparent glass bricks.
Some of them are kept in the shape of natural crystals. This undestructed natural crystal has better quality and has more use scenarios.
The most valuable thing is that the crystal nuclei in these crystals, just like the chalcedony in the jade ore, can not only be used as a formation material, but also combine it with other materials to refine magic tools.
It’s just a pity that some of the crystal nuclei are probably polluted, the color is no longer transparent, and it appears to be a light blue. Because of the crystal shape, looking at the light from different angles, the blue background will emit different colors of flashes.
Qi Wufei studied it and found that these contaminated crystal nuclei have very special traits. On the surface, it seems that their own effects have been lost due to pollution, so they can no longer be used to set up arrays. However, they contain a strange spiritual energy inside, which can communicate with human souls, as if this thing has life and is alive.
Qi Wufei suspected that the things that pollute these crystal nuclei were probably a kind of spiritual life in ancient times, and microorganisms were born when Hongmeng were first established, because of climate change.
These crystal nuclei cannot form a magic weapon itself, but if they are used as auxiliary materials to refine magic weapons, they can greatly enhance the spirituality of magic weapons and make communication with magic weapons smoother.
Qi Wufei instinctively felt that this was a good thing. Unfortunately, he was not a weapon refiner and could not develop the effectiveness of this thing to the extreme.
But he thought of a way to make money.
In his previous life, diamonds on the earth, which had abundant reserves and low value, were artificially hyped into a luxury, and were often used as decorations on pendants, rings, earrings and even clothes, becoming something people rush to own and show off.
Qi Wufei still remembers an advertising slogan from his previous life: Diamonds are forever, and one is forever passed down.
There are also diamonds in this world now, but they are not popular in the world of practice because diamonds are useless. The jewelry that practitioners like must first have practical value and it is difficult to hype out of thin air.
Qi Wufei's crystal cores now have high refining value, more beautiful than diamonds, and it also has "life" and can communicate with people.
The output of crystal cores is unknown now, and Ao Mo'ang obviously does not value its value, which means that only he owns these things. If it is developed into various decorations, combined with the magical instruments commonly used by practitioners, such as space rings, pendants, or inlaid on swords, it will definitely become very popular in the future.
Maybe a "diamond" miracle can be created in the world of practice.
As for sales, Qi Wufei was not worried at all.
The easiest way is to go to Chunyang Sword Industry or even the Eight Immortals Group to discuss it, bring some samples over, and they will not be moved when they see it, and they will definitely be able to negotiate a good price.
If the Eight Immortals Group can be supplied for a long time, the profits here will be generous enough.
But Qi Wufei's ambitions are more than that.
In the future, after Pansiling grows, it will inevitably develop its own industry. The Eight Immortals Group can do it, and it can do it.
In terms of scale, it may not be as big as the Eight Immortals Group, but it can completely follow the niche route of high-quality products.
Moreover, once the Eight Immortals Group discovers the value of these crystal cores, it will definitely check its source. If they know that the crystal core comes from Bingao Island, with the strength of the Eight Immortals Group, it will be not difficult to get the mining rights.
So Qi Wufei decided to do it himself, and before the official sale, he had to take the mining rights of the Ancient Black Bing in Bingao Island. Even if he had to get the mining rights, he had to find a backer that the Eight Immortals Group could not afford, otherwise he would take it away from you in minutes.
He was worried about giving gifts, and this batch of crystal cores could be used. He tested the market reaction and saw if they liked it or how much they liked it.
Of course, in order to avoid others tracing the source of the crystal nucleus, he must make people think that this batch of crystal nucleus is Pansiling's own thing.
So he started to do experiments in the alchemy room and cut and refine the crystal nucleus. Finally, he found that incorporating a small amount of spider silk into the crystal nucleus can make the crystal nucleus more beautiful, and the spiritual energy in it has the characteristics of spider silk, making it difficult to tell whether the feeling of life-like being in it comes from the crystal itself or the spider silk inside.
Qi Wufei gave these crystals that were incorporated into spider silk: Lan Daisi Bing.
The first piece of cut blue daisy ice was given to Su Suisui, and he was inlaid on the space ring he once gave to Su Suisui.
The second piece of blue ribbon ice is even more special because it is not white spider silk that is incorporated into it, but Xiaoqing's blue silk. He made it into a beautiful bracelet and put it on Xiaoqing's hand.
Su Suisui and Xiaoqing both liked it very much, but because of their special relationship with Qi Wufei, Qi Wufei could not be sure whether their preference was because of the item itself or because of him.
So next he made a necklace and a pair of earrings and gave them to Widow Wang and Duanmu Wei respectively.
Widow Wang and Duanmu Wei were both ladies from a noble family. They had almost all the luxury goods in the world, and they also had a certain business acumen and vision. Therefore, their opinions were more valuable.
After receiving the affirmation of Widow Wang and Duanmu Wei, Qi Wufei became more confident.
Of course, these rings, necklaces, etc. can only please girls. It is just what he uses to test commercial value. It is obviously inappropriate to give it to the superiors who come to Pansiling for inspection or the VIPs who come to visit.
Therefore, he designed a set of Lan Daisy Bing's zodiac ornaments according to the twelve zodiac signs.
Although he is not a sculptor, the three-dimensional space imagination of the practitioner's brain is particularly strong. As long as he uses his spiritual sense to activate firepower in the alchemy furnace, he can build a void model in the alchemy furnace and put the material into the void model surrounded by firepower.
This is also a common shaping method for refining weapons. He is not a master of refining weapons, but now he only needs to incorporate spider silk and shape it. It is not a very complicated process.
As for the appearance of the twelve zodiac signs, most of the mountains have ready-made models, so they can be asked to come in and do it while modifying them. For example, tigers, cows, horses and other things that are not on the mountains, just look for some videos and photos online. Anyway, there are everything online now, and you can even find three-dimensional structure diagrams.
The most difficult one was the dragon, but Qi Wufei had seen the real dragon more than once - the dragon on the Jiaoze, the silver dragon hovering over the dragon mothership during the military exercise of Bingao Island, the golden dragon transformed into Ao Mo'ang at the moment when the void crack opened, and the turtle-backed dragon when Ao Ba showed his true form, etc. What impressed him the most was the white dragon that was nailed to death by Thirty-six and Tianlong Thorns on the bottom of the sea.
As the Nalan City Three Realms United Anti-Demon Conference was about to be held, Qi Wufei simply took sick leave early, hid in the mountain, and spent time polishing his Lan Daisi Bing zodiac ornaments.
When he asked for leave, Qin Yubai disagreed at first, thinking that such a good opportunity would have to go even if he was seriously ill.
Qi Wufei said, "I am not very good at socializing. I went to Nalan City. In that kind of occasion, I didn't even know how to give a gift. I would have a great time if they came to Pansiling."
Qin Yubai immediately understood and asked, "What gift have you prepared? Don't be corruption!"
Qi Wufei said: "I want to be corrupt, but I have to have that strength! Pansiling is the most famous one, but the output is small and it is not enough, and the leaders above may not be worthy of it. So I prepared some handicrafts this time, which I made by myself."
As he said that, he took out a lifelike ice crystal carving dragon, which was full of faint blue, but from different angles, different lights appeared on its scales.
There are many thin filaments in the dragon's body, which are more dazzling. When you use your spiritual sense to sense it, the dragon will live, and the thin filaments in the body flow like the texture of the muscles. People who know how to practice will know at a glance that those thin filaments represent the flow of true qi, and if they are in the human body, they are equivalent to meridians.
Qin Yubai couldn't put it down and said, "You guys can do it. How did you make this thing? It's not bad. It's in the office. It's so grand! It's of class!"
As he said that, he put it on the table, and he didn't say he wanted it or gave it to Qi Wufei, just said:
"Look at you, if you are in poor health, take a good rest at home. Just call for leave. Go back quickly. Don't worry about meetings."
