I can crush planets with my mind

Chapter 242 241. Antique?

Xu Shi has spent her whole life in the palace, Hua Ruoxi does not have the airs of a congenital master at all.

He squinted his eyes halfway, with a smile on his face that was difficult to distinguish between real and fake, and kept playing with a suet jade ring on his finger.

This finger is antique, delicate and moist, and it is priceless at first glance, but it also loses the momentum of a strong man.

But Lu Li didn't dare to underestimate him.

The sense of oppression of this old eunuch was twice that of Masahiro's, second only to Tailong Saitou, and it made people feel chills down their spines.

There is still light in the half-closed eyes, it is clear that he has the cultivation of the gods, and he is by no means an ordinary "hercules".

At this moment, the old eunuch was very enthusiastic and led Lu Li to sit at the main table:
"I heard that there is a young hero in Jinmen, and today I saw him, he is really extraordinary. Come, come, please sit down."

Lu Li bowed his hands politely, and sat down calmly with Xia Weiyun and the three puppets.

Seeing the three "entourages" all carrying heavy boxes, Hua Ruoxi smiled even wider:

"Our family's "Xian Tian Gong" is pure and pure, and it only takes three weeks to make the young master achieve great success. Don't miss this opportunity~"

Lu Li nodded and said, "That's why I came here."

"It's very good, the young master is open-minded at first glance! Wait a moment, we will start right away."

Hua Ruoxi bowed to someone else, and went to another table to socialize.

Xia Weiyun sat on the side and reminded:

"This eunuch is the head of the House of Internal Affairs. He has refined his mind to a state of concentration, and he is innate in martial arts. He is firmly ranked among the top three masters in the palace."

Lu Li nodded his head, he already knew it.

Xia Weiyun nodded to the guests present with his chin again, and introduced:
"Most of the people who came today were rich sons. The sons of the four major compradors, the sons of the chief envoy's family...even the little bitch Jiang Haiyan came."

As expected, all those present were the children of wealthy families, all of them were dressed in brocade clothes and luxurious clothes, and they all wanted to spend money to buy their cultivation.

However, Lu Li was a little confused: "Does the governor's daughter also need innate qi? Her father and master should give it to her, right?"

Hearing this, Xia Weiyun did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically:
"Chameizi fed you [Inner Breath], what do you think of the effect?"

Lu Li recalled the sweetness of breastfeeding, he couldn't help but nodded and said:

"The effect is excellent, saving countless hard work, and there is no slight side effect."

"Look, the inner breath is so good, but true qi... is the inner breath condensed into substance, how could anyone think too much of it!"

Xia Weijun asked again: "Besides, true energy is far more precious than you imagined. Do you know the principle of 'water cycle'?"

Lu Li replied, "It's the water on the ground that evaporates and turns into clouds and rains down?"

"That's right." Xia Weiyun said carefully:

"If the human body is compared to a world, then [True Qi] is equivalent to the rain and dew between heaven and earth, whether it nourishes all things or turns into rivers, it will return to the body in the end, endlessly.

But if you want to use it, it will really be gone, which will affect the internal circulation and cause disasters such as floods and droughts.

Therefore, all strong people pay great attention to their own zhenqi. Even though Jiang Haiyan is the governor's daughter, he may not have enjoyed a few times of zhenqi infusion. "

The words were so clear, Lu Li immediately understood clearly:
"So that's the case. No wonder it is said that the key to martial arts lies in the word [nurture]."

"That's right!" Xia Weijin said with a smile:
"Your sister, I just fight too much with people, or I will be born early..."

While talking, Xia Weiyun was afraid that little brother Lu might be scruples and lose his spirit of bravery and diligence, so he hurriedly added:

"But there are no absolutes. As long as you grasp the 'speed' and use your true energy properly, your body can adjust itself."

"Uh-huh."

Lu Li nodded again and again, feeling the big sister's love and care.

The care of older women...seems not bad either.

At this time, the field suddenly fell silent.

I saw Hua Ruoxi leaving the table and walking to the stage, looking at the crowd with a smile, it's time to get into the theme!
~~~~~~~~~~~
Everyone was sitting tight, waiting for the old eunuch to speak.

Hua Ruoxi said in a shrill voice:
"This time our family is ordered by the emperor to come to Jinmen to accept the 'ceremonial donation'. You are all big families in the local area, and I hope you will donate generously and actively share the worries for the emperor."

The eunuch said clichés, and cupped his hands in the direction of the capital.

The sons of several comprador families in the audience mocked in a low voice:

"Etiquette donation...it's this time and I'm still thinking about repairing the grave."

"It's not unusual. The Jiawu period did not hinder the Queen Mother's birthday."

……

And Hua Ruoxi finished the opening remark in a few words, and immediately went straight to the topic:
"Jinmen is a land of outstanding people, and those who come here today are all talented people. As long as we can share the worries of the emperor, our family will have a mouthful of innate energy to offer!"

When he finally got to the point, a young man in brocade clothes asked urgently:
"Dare to ask Manager Hua, how much should I donate for this etiquette donation, in order to get a sigh of relief?"

"It turned out to be Mr. Liang from Jardine Matheson."

Hua Ruoxi turned the suet wrench in her hand, said with a smile:
"Naturally, our family wants everyone to benefit from it, but we can't catch it, so we set a number... If you pay enough, you will have true energy!"

This number is definitely not cheap, everyone held their breath...

Hua Ruoxi paused, and said sharply: "Gold is 1000 taels, and the congenital Qi is purified for a big cycle!"

"..."

There was silence for a while, and then there was an uproar:
"1000 taels of gold... is equivalent to 30 taels of silver! Are you crazy?"

"Not only! The current international situation is tense, all countries are stockpiling gold, and the price of gold has skyrocketed!"

"Emotional dude wants to collect the compensation from the Treaty of Shimonoseki!"

Everyone complained that the old eunuch was asking for a lot of money, but Lu Li was thinking——

I brought 1 ton of gold myself, which is equivalent to 2 taels... The old eunuch's quotation seems not expensive.

Of course, even if it was 100 times more expensive, Lu Li would still accept it.

As far as he is concerned, it couldn't be more cost-effective to exchange money for strength and time!
In this troubled world, there are people who think the same way.

Mr. Liang, who was the first to come forward, cupped his hands and said, "I would like to accept the donation from Mr. Hua. I wonder if it can be settled in silver?"

Hua Ruoxi turned the suet jade wrench in her hand, smiled and shook her head:

"I'm sorry, I only accept gold, which is used to repair the imperial tomb."

As soon as this remark came out, a group of merchants including Mr. Liang immediately flinched.

In addition to fulfilling its original duties, the gold from the other world is also a resource for cultivation. This deal is really not worthwhile, especially since the family will not support it.

And Lu Li was naturally happy without a competitor.

Just when he was thinking about how he had absorbed all his energy, he suddenly noticed——

The expressions of Jiang Haiyan and other children of officials and eunuchs have remained unchanged. It seems that things are still changing?

Sure enough, Hua Ruoxi suddenly said:

"If you think it's expensive, our family has a workaround, and that is - donate antiques!"

"antique?"

Mr. Liang and others were very puzzled.

Everyone knows the truth of "Gold in Prosperous Antiques and Troubled Times", why did this eunuch do it the other way around?Do you think the world is not chaotic enough?
And Hua Ruoxi confirmed again:
"That's right, as long as it falls into the eyes of our family, an antique can purify the true energy of the Great Zhou! Pay attention! What our family is talking about is purifying the Great Zhou, so that the true energy can flow through the meridians of the whole body!"

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Haiyan and others took out a sandalwood box specially for storing antiques.
