In the years of famine, I was well versed in history and pampered the Northern Army

Chapter 108 The Hardest

"Indeed, that's what my daughter is aiming for. However, since her identity as a shrine maiden hasn't been revealed yet, and if we don't have a qualified mining site, then in their minds this thing must have appeared out of thin air. It's better to say it was given by the shrine maiden."

What Chu Qingyin said was true. Xu Luohan nodded after hearing it. He didn't expect that his daughter was so thoughtful. She had grown so mature in these days. He couldn't help but feel extremely relieved.

"The only ones who can contact you are Your Highness Prince Jing and mother, so I'll need your help when the time comes. I wonder if mother would find it troublesome?"

"My daughter, what are you talking about? Do we have to be so distant? If you want to do it, just go ahead and do it. If you need me, I will definitely help you."

Since his mother had already agreed, she didn't need to trouble Prince Jing with this matter. Before he finished lunch, he immediately returned to the original place to look for the original manufacturer of artificial diamonds.

During this period, her daughter was at home, and Dr. Xu had not been to the Zhaixing Tower for a long time. Now that her daughter told her about this, she went to the Zhaixing Tower to watch the stars again. Unexpectedly, she saw a strange phenomenon in the sky.

She saw that the two constellations in the sky that had always guided her thinking and observation were actually starting to get very close, even overlapping, and were obscured by some clouds.

"This is the first time I can't tell whether this thing is good or bad. I wonder if it was brought by my daughter? I hope it's good."

Chu Qingyin went back these days, because finding a suitable diamond manufacturer is neither difficult nor easy.

Her order must be very large, so she will stay in modern times for a while.

The next day, Xu Luohan went to court and presented everything Chu Qingyin had said.

"Recently, I was observing strange phenomena in the sky at the Observatory and had to deal with some unavoidable things."

"Oh? Why did you say that?"

These days, all the ministers in the court knew that Master Xu was so focused on picking up his daughter that he rarely spoke.

Even when the emperor asked, he said there was nothing wrong. Today he actually took the initiative to report something, so it must be a big deal.

"Recently, strange phenomena have appeared in the sky, seemingly guided by a witch. The witch said she hopes to bring some gems to Yun Jin."

"gem?"

Lu Qian felt strange, but also felt it was very novel. After all, he usually liked these messy new things. If it was given by the witch, then there must be something unusual in it. Why wouldn't he take it?

"Yes, the witch hopes that her diamond can bring good luck to Yun Jin."

"diamond?"

The ministers in the court were all very curious. They had never heard of such a thing before, but the name sounded nice.

"What is a diamond?"

Lu Qian asked, and Xu Luohan slowly answered:

"This thing is the hardest thing in the world. If you are not lucky, you will not encounter it under normal circumstances. But if you encounter a naturally formed one, it cannot compare to the witch's. After all, the things the witch has must have their own mysteries."

"I also want to see such a magical thing, but I don't know when you can let me see it?"

"It won't be long."

After saying this, the ministers were also very shocked.

Normally they didn't believe in ghosts and gods, and always thought Xu Luohan was playing tricks. But now Xu Luohan actually said directly that Wuneng would bestow the so-called "diamond" thing, and they were a little undecided.

Not to mention that this so-called "hardest thing in the world" is not easy to find even if you look for it by yourself, but Xu Luohan actually dared to make such a boast, which shows that he is very confident.

But Yun Jin had never seen this so-called hard thing before. If Xu Luohan really brought it over, it would probably shock all of them.

Is it possible that there really are witches in this world?

Those old ministers didn't know how to resolve the doubts in their hearts.

But when Lu Qian thought that the witch would actually give him something, he finally realized what was happening and expressed his gratitude:

"I didn't expect the witch would actually give us this thing. If it's true, then this so-called diamond will be our national treasure!"

After saying that, Lu Qian's mood improved today. Every time he went to court, he would ask Xu Luohan whether the witch had delivered the diamond. Later, he asked so many questions that Xu Luohan almost felt annoyed.

"To answer your Majesty, this diamond is not so easy to obtain. If the witch delivers it to you, it will take some time."

Finally, three days passed, and Chu Qingyin had been in modern times for thirty days. She finally spent one million to buy the highest quality artificial diamonds and sent them to Yunjin.

"Mother, do you see diamonds any differently now than you did when you were still alive?"

Xu Luohan picked up one of the very large ones and looked at it in shock:

"There's almost no difference. You actually managed to get so many. If we were to do it the same way as before, buying so many diamonds would bankrupt our Xu family..."

Xu Qingyin couldn't help laughing when she saw her mother's shocked expression:

"These things only cost a few million. I made several billion when I delivered the bracelets to the Zhenbei Army, so it's just a small amount for me."

Chu Qingyin said these words calmly, but it was hard for Xu Luohan to imagine:

"How much did you say you earned?"

"It should be 5 billion, and some of the collections haven't been sold yet."

"How can there be so many?"

"Mother, you've been here for a long time, and you should have felt that this place is very similar to the Song Dynasty. So the things here can be sold as Song Dynasty cultural relics. After I sold them, I naturally made a lot of money."

This made Xu Luohan understand that the price of cultural relics was indeed very high.

"I didn't expect you to be worth so much now..."

"Oh, mother, please don't be so shocked by this. Let's send this diamond to the harem first and see if we can win the heart of the emperor!"

One day when he went to court, the emperor saw Xu Luohan holding a red velvet box.

"Your Majesty, thank you for waiting. Now, inside this box is the diamond provided by the witch."

The ministers in the court all looked at her with awe. They didn't expect that she would deliver this thing in just three days.

Do shrine maidens really exist?

Seeing that everyone was a little confused, after opening the box, there really was a diamond as big as a pigeon egg inside.

"It's so shiny, it feels shinier than glass!"

Everyone stretched their heads to look at it, and Lu Qian couldn't let it go.

"I've never seen this thing before. It's really beautiful. It was given to me by a witch. She says it's the hardest thing in the world, but is there any evidence?"
