The interior decoration style here was similar to B2, just slightly quieter. This place was mainly for processing and producing finished jadeite products, such as bracelets, pendants, necklaces, and ornaments sold in the shops, all originated from here.
Coral led the two directly inside until they reached a reinforced alloy door. The door was seamless, and there was a thing on the left wall that looked like a switch.
Coral stood in front of the switch-like thing, and a mechanical female voice rang out, “Iris and facial recognition successful, please enter.”
The door automatically opened from both sides.
What appeared before Leo’s eyes was rows of shelves filled with various high-end jadeite. Under the indoor lighting, they reflected enchanting brilliance.
This place was, astonishingly, the warehouse for storing finished jadeite.
Leo looked at everything, his eyes shining. He wasn’t just seeing money; he saw spiritual energy.
With so much jadeite, how much spiritual energy did they contain?
“Leo, this place is the core warehouse of Wilde Jewelry Company. Besides me and Nicola, only three other people in the company can enter here. Starting today, you’ll be the fourth person.”
“The twenty pieces of jadeite you selected at the gambling festival produced twelve increases in value, with a total value of around a billion. Considering 100 million, you’ll enjoy a twenty percent commission, which amounts to twenty million.”
“Also, you cut out a glass-type purple flower in one piece of jadeite and won a high-quality ice-type yang green material from Antony. Do you want the jadeite, or do you want to sell the material to the company and exchange it for money?”
“Exchange it for money,” Leo replied.
“Okay, your glass-type jade with purple inclusions has been appraised by the company’s marketing department and is valued at 33 million. The high-quality yang green jade is also valued at 33 million. Deducting the ten million I lent you, the company’s finance will transfer 76 million to you.”
Leo nodded, indicating that he had no problem with that.
With 76 million, plus the nine million he made from selling that red jade and the nine million he won from Antony, he now had a total of 94 million.
He had promised to give Sophia 80 million, and now he had enough money.
“Miss Wilde, I have a request,” Leo looked at Coral.
“Go ahead.”
“Let me stay in this warehouse for a day.”
“What are you going to do here, sleep with the jadeite?” Nicola asked curiously. This guy had some quirky ideas from time to time.
“You’re right. I’m not interested in money, but I am interested in jadeite. I really want to sleep with them,” Leo replied.
“What a strange guy!” Nicola stuck out her tongue.
“Miss Wilde, is it okay?” Leo looked at Coral again.
Coral smiled, “Don’t forget, you’re now Wilde Jewelry Company’s gemstone consultant. You have all the permissions to access B2 and B3 floors. So, whether it’s one day or ten days, half a month, staying in this warehouse without coming out is not a problem.”
“Leo, I must warn you beforehand, don’t damage the jadeite here,” Nicola reminded him.
Leo smiled wryly, “Miss Pater, why would I damage jadeite for no reason?”
“You’re such a strange person; who can be sure?” Nicola replied.
“Don’t worry; if there’s any damage, I’ll compensate accordingly.”
Nicola didn’t doubt his ability to compensate, considering his amazing talent in selecting jadeite.
“Alright, let’s go. I’ll have the Information Technology Department authorize you. Whenever you want to come to the warehouse, you’ll have the access.”
Regarding Nicola and Leo’s bickering since their first meeting, Coral was helpless.
After following Coral to the Information Technology Department to obtain authorization, Leo returned to the jadeite-filled warehouse.
Next, he would undertake something great: to fully absorb the spiritual energy within the jadeite.
According to the records in the Nine Heavens Star Chart, once the accumulation of spiritual power in the body reached a certain level, there would be a qualitative change due to a quantitative increase, leading to a breakthrough.
The Star Chart stated that cultivation was divided into realms, a total of nine realms: Spiritualist, Spirit Master, Great Spirit Master, Spirit General, Spirit Venerate, Spirit King, Spirit Sect, Spirit Saint, and Spirit Deity. Each realm had three stages: Initial Stage, Intermediate Stage, and Advanced Stage.
Leo estimated that he was currently at the Initial Stage of the Spiritualist realm.
Leo also knew that the portion of the Nine Heavens Star Chart that he could currently recall in his mind was incomplete; it was only a small part. He didn’t know if the contents of the Star Chart would increase once he broke through to the Intermediate Stage of the Spiritualist realm.
With an expectant heart, Leo sat cross-legged on the ground, forming hand seals with both hands and circulating the spiritual power within his body. He began to guide the spiritual energy inside the jadeite on the shelves, absorbing and refining it into spiritual power.
Time slipped away, and Leo was completely immersed in his cultivation, unaware of the passing hours.
If someone were to observe from the sidelines, they would see a faint milky-white aura enveloping Leo. This aura emanated from the jadeite on the shelves.
On the surface of Leo’s body, a flowing vortex appeared, continuously absorbing the milky-white aura around him.
With the Nine Heavens Star Chart in operation, the spiritual power inside him became more and more abundant.
At some point, Leo suddenly opened his eyes, and brilliance shot from within! He let out a low roar, and the spiritual power in his body reached its peak, causing his diaphragm to feel intensely expanded.
“Boom!”
It was as if a bomb exploded inside his body. The milky-white aura surrounding Leo’s body completely disappeared, replaced by a faint red glow on his surface, like a red halo.
“Bang!”
The red halo suddenly dispersed, and Leo felt his diaphragm expand. He also sensed a mysterious power.
“I’ve broken through!”
An excited expression appeared on Leo’s face.
At this moment, he could extract more of the Nine Heavens Star Chart’s cultivation content from his mind.
Attempting to control his spiritual power, Leo snapped his fingers with his right hand.
Just like igniting a lighter, a small flame appeared on Leo’s fingertip.
He then flicked his left hand casually, and with a “bang,” a mark left by a blade appeared on one of the shelf’s supports.
Dispersing the flame on his fingertip, Leo reached out for a jadeite bracelet on the shelf in front of him.
A mystical scene unfolded: the jadeite bracelet that was originally lying quietly on the shelf floated automatically towards Leo’s right hand.
Telekinesis!
All of these were abilities of an Intermediate Stage Spiritualist. It seemed that he had indeed made a breakthrough in his cultivation!
