"Dragon-shaped jade pendant?" After hearing Ye Fan's words, Fatty Li turned his head and saw the dragon-shaped jade pendant on his right hand.

With the shape of a dragon and a hint of blood red in the jade, it looks quite extraordinary.

"Little brother, you have good taste." On the side, the shop owner also heard Ye Fan's words and said, "This blood dragon jade pendant has a great origin. It is said that it contains a trace of dragon beast essence blood. Wearing it on the body can not only nourish the blood, but also bring good luck to people."

Hearing this, Fatty Li was frightened by the boss and turned his head to look at Ye Fan.

"If there really is dragon beast blood, then it wouldn't appear here."

Ye Fan just shook his head and looked at the shop owner and said, "It's not dragon blood. It doesn't have this effect to nourish qi and blood. When looking at jade, we should look at the carving craftsmanship and quality of this piece of jade. The dragon blood you mentioned is an impurity. It's nothing more than some blood stained on the jade when it was taken and can't be removed. The carving craftsman used this as a gimmick to create it."

"This..." Hearing Ye Fan's words, the shop owner was stunned and his eyes changed a little: "Yes, but this dragon jade pendant..."

"I bought jade. Four thousand yuan is enough for this jade pendant." Ye Fan continued.

"Four thousand." Hearing this price, the shop owner's face was bitter, "I couldn't even buy it at the price of four thousand."

"Not really, this piece of jade is not bad except for the carving craftsmanship. The quality is average. At the price of four thousand, you have room for profit." Ye Fan waved his hand.

This made the shop owner feel a little helpless. After a while, he slowly spoke, "Young brother, you are not very old, but your vision is terrible."

"Not really." Ye Fan answered, looking at Fatty Li beside him. Fatty Li understood and quickly took out the money.

Ye Fan also took the jade pendant, as if he didn't care, and put it in his pocket and continued to walk forward.

Fatty Li didn't understand. He watched Ye Fan leave and quickly came up to him. On the side, he said with a little annoyance: "Ye Fan, you should have kept silent just now. We just took it quietly."

"A jade pendant is not a precious big object. It's not worth my effort. If he heard me, I took it for 4,000. If he didn't hear it, I took it for 4,000."

Ye Fan waved his hand, took out the jade pendant, looked at it in the sun for a few times, and then threw it to Fatty Li.

"After you go back, soak it in animal blood for three days. When the red light of the jade pendant flashes, drop a drop of blood on it and wear it on your body."

"Is it so complicated..." Hearing Ye Fan's words, Fatty Li hesitated a little. He took the jade pendant and asked, "Is this jade pendant really an ordinary jade pendant?"

"No."

Ye Fan shook his head, thought for a while, and then said, "This jade pendant is used to nourish blood and qi, but the blood in it is not a very good dragon blood. At best, it is the blood of the dragon's descendants, which is relatively inferior and of average value, about 100,000."

"My God..." Seeing Ye Fan seem to say this very calmly, Fatty Li was shocked, "Then you just said that this is an ordinary jade pendant, and the boss and we all believed it. But you turned around and told me that it is really a dragon blood jade pendant???"

"I just said that I would pay 4,000 for this jade pendant from the boss, and I didn't say it was only worth 4,000."

Ye Fan answered, looked at the shocked Fatty Li, smiled, and then continued: "The crafting method of this jade pendant is very complicated, and the steps used are not known to ordinary people."

"In the hands of those who know, it is a dragon blood jade pendant, but in the hands of those who don't know, it can only be said to be a piece of ordinary quality carved and gorgeous ornaments. This is why the boss sold it to me for 4,000 yuan."

"I understand the truth..." Fatty Li heard the words, looked at Ye Fan, and said unconsciously: "Ye Fan, you know so many breathing methods, know beast control, know herbs, and know physical skills, so why do you know this kind of unconventional treasure appraisal."

"To become a strong man, the more you know, the better." Ye Fan answered, patting Fatty Li on the shoulder, "It's better to have more skills, and you may come in handy at a critical moment."

"You have too many skills." Fatty Li couldn't complain, picked up the jade pendant and rubbed it, and then put it in his arms like a treasure.

"Keep watching." Ye Fan waved his hand and continued walking on this street.

With Ye Fan's amazing skills, Fatty Li was no longer in a hurry to choose things. He just followed Ye Fan. When Ye Fan spoke, Fatty Li asked the price, and then Ye Fan bargained. Fatty Li happily paid.

"These things are really not something you can buy casually, Ye Fan." Walking on the road, Fatty Li, wearing a pair of steel bracelets bought from a stall, said: "Is this thing really made of meteorite iron from outer space?"

"That's not it, it's just a pile of scrap iron, at most more than ten yuan." Ye Fan glanced at the bracelet Fatty Li was wearing and said casually.

"But we just spent 20,000 yuan!!" Fatty Li was shocked again.

"Ye Fan, since you know it, why did you spend 20,000 yuan to buy it just now?"

"Because we still have to go to other places to buy things." Ye Fan answered, with a slightly meaningful smile on his face.

"When you wear this bracelet, others will think you are a sucker, and they will definitely find a lot of flashy things to buy for you."

"Then let's really buy it?"

"Of course not." Ye Fan replied, "You have to give others the impression that you are a fool with a lot of money, so that when you really want to buy something that can be called a good thing, others will not care too much, which will save a lot of effort."

"Is that so... I understand a little bit." Fatty Li replied, looking at the steel bracelet on his hand, and couldn't help muttering, "No wonder when I went to check out just now, the boss looked at me like a big jerk."

"So I am really a big jerk, spending 20,000 to buy scrap iron and thinking I bought a treasure to wear on my hand."

"It's okay to be a big jerk occasionally. It's a good habit to hide yourself appropriately and make people unpredictable." Ye Fan replied, without explaining too much. Looking at a small shop next to him, his eyes lit up.

"Let's go, pick some good things."

"Good things?" Hearing this, Fatty Li hesitated a little. Looking at Ye Fan, he didn't know whether Ye Fan was going to buy a real good thing or a fake good thing.

After hesitating for a while, Fatty Li was stunned, and suddenly realized and patted his head.

When even the people around you don't know what you want to do, how can others see what you are thinking? Ye Fan is just like he said, doing things that are unpredictable.

This is almost teaching Fatty Li how to hide himself by example.
