The origin of the star lotus world

Chapter 2663 (1)

Chapter 2422 (1)

With a smile, Qi Caixinglian repeatedly expressed his gratitude and congratulations to the Origin Creator God, the four Celestial Universe Saints, and the Star Lotus Universe Saint, appearing very happy and joyful.

He expressed his gratitude to the supreme gods of the universe for their kindness towards him, despite his lowly status, and pledged to perform well. He added that in the future, if he acquires any rare divine items or if the Universe of the Emperor of the Universe possesses any particularly precious specialties, he would present them to the supreme gods as a token of his appreciation for their care.

I invited Seven-Colored Star Lotus to sit in his dragon-patterned private room, and then I continued our casual conversation, repeating some things and saying similar things as well.

Some things in this mortal world still need to be told. No matter how much the plot drags on, it will be told slowly.

I mentioned that I bought a small gold Pixiu pendant during the Year of the Snake, which I kept in my jewelry bracelet and wore constantly. Let me also mention the small pure gold ring that the author spent over two thousand yuan on; it was the first gold ring the author ever bought in the mortal world.

In the summer of the Year of the Dragon in the mortal world, the author bought a platinum diamond ring for 1,100 yuan. During the Lunar New Year of the Snake, he bought a pure gold ring for 2,100 yuan.

Jin Huyue said that his premonition was correct; the two pieces of jewelry were of a certain quality and could be kept, or exchanged for a different style. Alternatively, years later, when the price of precious metals rose significantly again, he could exchange the precious metals for more money and successfully achieve a high-quality investment, which would be very good.

I mentioned that the high prices of precious metals in the first half of the Year of the Horse have changed again. When the author was writing this initial draft, international precious metal prices had just experienced another significant drop. The base prices of gold, platinum, and pure silver have all decreased considerably. The price per gram of investment gold bars is now less than 900, and the buyback price has dropped to around 800 per gram. This is not only much lower than the previous period, but even lower than some prices in December 2025. I remember at the end of December in the Year of the Snake, when I was exchanging gold, I inquired about the buyback price, and it was over 900 per gram. The internet says that the current decline in international precious metal prices is 20-30% lower than their peak, and perhaps the bull market in precious metals will be temporarily halted. There has been a lot of discussion and information about this for several days. Many people have bought precious metals; when will they make substantial profits? We'll have to wait and see. Consider this: some people buy gold jewelry at brand stores for 1600-1700 yuan per gram, and even a fixed-price gold jewelry item would cost 2000-3000 yuan per gram. This seems incredibly high in the first half of the Year of the Horse. It's hard to predict when the price of pure gold will reach such a high point again—perhaps in a few months, perhaps in a few years.

Fan Xingkong stated that the decline in international precious metal prices is perfectly normal. From the perspective of the wealthy, investing in precious metals to account for 20-30% of their available assets is already sufficient. In the long term, some high-purity precious metals can preserve and increase their value.

He said he heard from the original owner that many of those who recently cashed out their accumulated gold had bought it at a few hundred yuan per gram and accumulated it gradually. They then redeemed it at a price of a thousand yuan per gram, netting several times their initial investment – ​​truly a high-quality investment. With precious metal prices falling significantly, those with financial means can increase their holdings, while ordinary people should wait and see. Even if gold jewelry drops back to six or seven hundred yuan, it might rise again to a thousand or even two thousand yuan after a while; it could appreciate or depreciate. Such fluctuations must be faced.
