Song Wen nodded in satisfaction and turned around to leave with his grandson. As they passed a display cabinet, he suddenly stopped. An elaborate 5 pearl bracelet sat within the shelf, next to an ornament.

The pearls on this bracelet were each as big as a small quail's egg. After a round of polishing and waxing, each pearl was as white as jade and crystal clear. On the surface of the pearls, one could even see a faint wavelike pattern resembling dragon scales!

With how the bracelet was positioned, Song Wen would have most likely missed it if he had not taken a second look.

"Boss, you're not being honest with me! Such a good item was hidden so well!" Song Wen stopped abruptly. The boy beside him, Song Qing, could only wait silently again.

Hearing this, Xia Zhen became confused. 'What good item could my shop possibly have? The only thing that might be worth something is just that falcon carving.'

Xia Zhen walked over, "What's the good stuff you're talking about?"

Song Wen did not reply. Instead, he reached over and gingerly picked up the bracelet. It felt a little heavier than he expected. The pearls were also smooth and cold. He touched the pearls silently, examining the bracelet for a long moment without saying anything.

Xia Zhen was slightly taken aback. "Could it be that the good stuff you were talking about is this bracelet?"

"100 thousand! What do you think about selling this bracelet to me for that price?" Song Wen directly offered, causing his grandson and Xia Zhen gasp aloud in shock.

'D*mn, I finally found out where the wastrel trait in the family came from. So it's actually hereditary! Look at grandpa, he's so much more domineering than me!' Song Qing mumbled.

In this short amount of time, Xia Zhen was already able to see through the wily old man's standards. Anything that could catch his eye was certainly not ordinary. "Could it be that these pearls are special?"

"This set of pearls does not belong to me. You have to ask him." Xia Zhen pointed at Bei Feng who was sitting nearby.

Bei Feng heard his name and looked up. Even he was being dragged into their conversation now?

Xia Zhen took the bracelet and handed it to Bei Feng. "Xiao Feng, your pearl bracelet is ready. To be honest, when I first saw that black root, I didn't have much expectations for it. But who would have thought that the pearls made from it would turn out to be so beautiful! Tsk, tsk!"

It was not very conspicuous when placed in the dark corner, but under the sunlight which streamed into the shop, the pearls had a faint whitish shimmer to it. With just a single look, it was obvious that the pearls were not ordinary at all!

Bei Feng also examined the pearls intently, his hands lightly touching the pearls. It felt rather icy to the touch, and the woody material could not be easily felt. In fact, the pearls felt more similar to actual jade!

"Little fellow, I suppose you heard my words earlier too. I'm willing to give you 100 thousand yuan for it. What do you think?" Song Wen narrowed his eyes and asked gruffly.

"Old man, I also like this bracelet very much, so I won't be selling it to you," Bei Feng did not even think before rejecting the offer. Perhaps if not for his recent windfall, he might actually end up selling this bracelet today.

Song Wen was an old ginger, and could naturally see that the young man before him truly did not wish to sell the pearls. It was not because he was trying to raise the price.

"Little fellow, dare I ask, what kind of material is this?" Song Wen shook his head and asked.

"You don't know?" Bei Feng asked with some surprise. From the way he saw it, this old man had quite a high level of understanding towards all kinds of pearls. How could he be unable to tell the material these pearls were made of?

"I don't know. I only felt that these pearls are from a species of wood which I have never seen before. Maybe it's a kind of material which had never appeared on the market before. What I do know is that its structure and density is very high, much greater than even the snakewood!"

Song Wen puckered his lips in annoyance. This brat was really a bit too wicked. If he knew what the material was, he would have already tried every method to obtain the wood!

Xia Zhen also hesitated for a moment before speaking up. "It's true that the refining process when making this set of pearls was rather troublesome, but to say that it's even harder than snakewood... that's not very likely, is it?"

Snakewood was a material that was known to have the highest density among all wood materials. If the material which was used to make the pearls could be proved to be even tougher than snakewood, that would be a huge discovery!

Bei Feng did not understand the whole matter about that snakewood and whatnot. "I found this stuff near a cliff on Mt. Qing Ling, but it should be unlikely to obtain more. The rest of the root are hidden in the belly of the mountain itself."

Song Wen fell into deep thought for some time before looking up with a bright gleam in his eye. "Little fellow, can you bring me to the place where you found the root? I'll give you 5,000 yuan for your time."

Bei Feng looked at the fervent gleam in the old man's eye and could not help but to ask. "You're not thinking about digging through the mountain are you?!"

"No, it's nothing that exaggerated," Song Wen chuckled. To be honest, it was not like he didn't have that thought in his heart. But after considering the massive cost of such a project, he still decided to give up on that.

Song Wen was a lover and collector of wood. His personal collection housed all kinds of strange wood materials, or any wood that was valuable and rare from all over the world. It was to a point where he could easily start a museum to showcase them if he liked. Now that he found a special new material like this, Song Wen could not help feeling an unbearable itch in his heart.

Bei Feng thought for a moment and quickly agreed. "I happen to be going back the same way and will pass by the area. You can come with me."

Half an hour later, the small party stopped at the place where Bei Feng had first found the root. He walked forward and pointed at a huge cliff nearby. "This is where I found it the last time. But it's a bit strange... there's no trace of the root which I'd cut off."

Bei Feng examined a small hole on the side of the cliff which was as big as an infant's fist. It was dark and seemed rather deep. There was a sense of mystery about the place.

His job was only to take Song Wen and Song Qing here, so the matter of finding the plant was already none of his business.

Only the Song grandfather and grandson were left, staring at each other with wide eyes. "That brat couldn't have tricked us right?"

Upon reaching the mansion, Bei Feng quickly put away the rice and other stuff before going back to the well.

"This fish had been sitting out here for two days already so it should be dead by now, right?"

Bei Feng mumbled to himself as he uncovered the well and pulled on the fishing rod.

The two meter long strange fish inside the well rapidly expanded as soon as it came out of the well. Luckily, Bei Feng was already prepared beforehand and had fled far away.

Ten meters!

Twenty meters!

Thirty meters!

Only after bloating up to 30 meters did the strange fish finally stop growing!

"Ding! Grade 5 Variant Demonic Beast obtained, Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King! (A creature born from the evolution of the bloodline of the Ice Dragon within the body of the Frigid Snowy Ice Arowana! Its blood and flesh contains the bloodline of the Ice Dragon! The amount of energy in the blood and flesh of this creature is extremely abundant! This beast is often nicknamed "a living mountain of Spirit Stones"!)

Experience gained: 32,000! Required experience to advance to level 3 Fisherman: 38,000!"

"Ding! Grade 1 Demonic Beast obtained, Frigid Snowy Ice Arowana! (As descendants of the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King, this species is superior compared to others of its kind!) Experience gained: 300!"

"Ding! Grade 1 Demonic Beast obtained, Frigid Snowy Ice Arowana..."

Before Bei Feng could react, a series of alerts sounded, causing his mouth to drop in shock. "Is this a luxurious family set meal? Buy 1 get 100 free?!"

By the time the System messages stopped, his required experience points to advance to level 3 Fisherman were only slightly over 10,000!

Looking at the huge carcass in his yard, Bei Feng began to feel a massive headache. Such a huge body would definitely not fit in the basement. But what should he do with it then?

'Looks like I've still vastly underestimated the powers of the White Jade Fishing Rod! The Purple Bamboo Fishing Rod could reduce an object's weight by ten times, but this White Jade Fishing Rod should have the capability to reduce an object's weight by at least a hundred times! Otherwise, there's no way I could have lifted this huge fellow up!'

Bei Feng made a rough estimation of the total force based on the size of the Dark Jade Snowy Dragon King's body. Its natural strength coupled with its weight should exceed a few hundred thousand jin at least, right?!
