Everybody is just observing in the morning and the bidding in the afternoon is the main part.

They eat lunch in the farmyard like they are having a feast. Leaving the disagreements in business aside, Dai people are hospitable. The Burmese host is all right, let alone all the jade traders who deal with people all the time. All of them are having a good time.

Dai people never eat overnight rice. The rice served to the guests is fresh. In the Dai culture, people have to use their hands and make rice balls while eating because they believe that this will preserve the color and fragrance of rice.

People from different regions have various customs. Lin Luoran thinks that eating rice balls with hands is not inelegant but interesting, and she enjoys herself very much.

There is also a crab paste called “Crab Nanmibu,” which is made by chopping crab shell and meat into mince. Dipping the rice balls into Crab Nanmibu, the Dai flavor becomes even outstanding.

    After lunch, perhaps they want to promote the huge stone, the Burmese host announces the bidding price of some of the raw stones. He claims that if no one wants to raise the bids, the owners of these stones will be settled.Stones can be cut open in public after the owners are settled.

He doesn’t have much knowledge on picking raw stones, but he indeed knows how to do business.He is uncertain about whether there is jade in the raw stone, so he chooses to announce the current bidding price of the popular ones—For example, No. 96.

    What happens next leaves Elly no choice but to bid on the huge raw stone!Wang Miao’e has revealed the truth that Elly has sent someone to eavesdrop other traders. She informs those traders. They just raise the price a little bit and win the stone—Except two men who suspect Wang Miao’e. The two of them do not raise the price, so Elly gets the stones, or else Fortune House will come away empty-handed.What is more unacceptable for Elly is that both of the raw stones she snatches from other traders only contain a fist-size egg-white jade, which is full of cracks. Among a dozen of raw stones she buys, there is not even one good jade…“Are these raw stones from an old field? You dare to sell these stones to us at such high prices.

Liu Zheng is about to speak up but Mu Tiannan who has been watching the fun says first, “Lady, you are being hilarious. Since she dares to offer 100 million, she definitely has the money in her pocket. Even though she doesn’t, I can lend it to her right now.”“You? Since you know poor Lin Luoran, you can’t be too rich. Why shall we believe you when there is no evidence?”

    Mu Tiannan pinches the red light ball with disgust. When he speaks, he even squeezes it hard. The rat monster really wants to vomit a mouthful of blood again.

    Marking the primordial spirit with Buddhism secret ability and going to a lower world to possess and cultivate to be a Buddha— For such kind of behavior, Mu Tiannan and Lin Luoran both think it is really scary. What kind of Buddha he is? What the rat monster does today is totally a demonized trick. He must eavesdrop the secrets of Buddhism—and knows the Tao proved by gods and Buddhas is closely related to the power of faith. Messages from the eavesdropping are always incomplete. If one can become a Buddha by fooling people to get the power of faith, then gods and Buddhas really mean nothing. Lin Luoran apotheosized herself. At that time, she had good timing, geographical convenience, and good human relations. Without the gold ware and the gold stamp from heaven, she can never deify herself. Gods and Buddhas are not equal to "immortals". If cultivators are enlightened by the Tao of nature, they can naturally become immortals. However, gods an
