I picked up skill fragments in the demon world

Although being scolded, Zhou Qiu Cheng had to endure it for the sake of his son.

Accompanied by the scolding, the vermilion gate opened with a creak, and a girl with delicate features, dressed in coarse linen, poked her head out from inside the gate: "Are you the ones knocking on the door at night?"

"Little girl, we want to see Young Master Zhang. We apologize for disturbing you late at night."

Wang Chong quickly bowed in greeting.

If he didn't, would he wait for Zhou Qiu Cheng to apologize?

Zhang Tuo Wei opened the gate and said lazily, "Follow me."

The two followed Zhang Tuo Wei into the courtyard, only to find the entire courtyard dark and silent, without the lively atmosphere of a wealthy family, which made them feel surprised.

Silently, they followed Zhang Tuo Wei to Zhang Chen's study, who pointed to the brightly lit study and said, "My brother is inside. Just go in."

After Zhang Tuo Wei finished speaking, he left with the lantern.

Wang Chong and Zhou Qiu Cheng looked at each other, and then Wang Chong stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Young Master, I am Wang Chong, and I am here with the dean of Chongzheng Academy to visit."

Hearing this, Zhang Chen in the room stood up, opened the door, his gaze swept over Wang Chong, and landed on Zhou Qiu Cheng: "It turns out that distinguished guests have come to visit. Please come in."

Zhang Chen invited the two into the room, and after pouring tea, Zhang Chen asked, "What brings you two here so late at night?"

At this time, Zhou Qiu Cheng took over the conversation: "I am Zhou Qiu Cheng from Chongzheng Academy.

The ginseng that Young Master sold that day is of great use to me.

I wonder if there is any left.

I am willing to buy it at a high price."

"I still have ginseng, but I don't need money now.

I'm not selling ginseng anymore,"

Zhang Chen said.

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Zhou Qiu Cheng said sincerely: "As long as you are willing to offer a price, I will never bargain, even if it is 100,000 taels or a million taels, I will agree."

Hearing Zhou Qiu Cheng's words, Zhang Chen shook his head: "Even with more money, I won't sell it!

If you two are here to buy ginseng, please go back."

At this time, Wang Chong said: "Young Master, Dean Zhou's son is waiting for ginseng to save his life.

His injuries cannot be cured without your ginseng.

Please have mercy and sell us a ginseng.

As long as you are willing to sell it, you can say whatever conditions you want.

With Dean Zhou's influence, he can do it for you.

Please have mercy, seeing that he only has one son and is old and frail, and still has to run around for his son's life."

Zhou Qiu Cheng also said sincerely at this time, with tears in his eyes: "This Young Master, I only have this one son.

If you are willing to help and sell me the ginseng, I will never bargain, and you can ask for any conditions you want.

Please!"

Zhou Qiu Cheng stood up directly and bowed deeply to Zhang Chen, his words full of sincerity.

Hearing this, Zhang Chen looked at Zhou Qiu Cheng, and then put down the teacup: "Alright!

Since you are so sincere, then I will make a condition.

If you can agree, I will sell you the ginseng.

If you can't agree, then go back where you came from."

Hearing this, Zhou Qiu Cheng quickly said: "Tell me."

"I heard that the imperial court is going to set up an inner courtyard in Chongzheng Academy.

I am very interested in the mysteries.

I wonder if I am fortunate enough to become a disciple of the academy?"

Zhou Qiu Cheng was an open and honest person, and he didn't hide anything, and explained: "The so-called scarcity of quotas is indeed true, but who can join the inner courtyard, and how the resources are distributed, isn't it all up to me?"

"The inner courtyard wants to set up a school, whether it enrolls fifty disciples or sixty disciples, it has no impact on me,"

Zhou Qiu Cheng explained.

Zhang Chen was speechless when he heard this.

It turned out that Zhou Qiu Cheng was engaged in hunger marketing, and he had calculated himself well.

Hearing this, Zhang Chen didn't hesitate, and took out the jade box that he had prepared from the cabinet.

The jade box was about a meter long and twenty centimeters wide, and handed it to Zhou Qiu Cheng: "This ginseng is what you want."

Zhou Qiu Cheng opened the jade box when he heard this, and his pupils shrank in the next moment.

The ginseng already had the shape of a person, and it must have been thousands of years old.

"This is an 8,000-year-old ginseng, and its fingers have evolved."

Wang Chong, who was knowledgeable, looked at the ginseng's palm, and the five fingers were clearly visible, and even the toes of the foot were clearly visible.

The ginseng's facial features were clear and lifelike, like a sleeping baby.

Unfortunately, this ginseng did not awaken its consciousness.

This was a 'deformed product' that Zhang Chen used time to ripen and absorbed the innate energy to produce, and did not have the conditions to awaken its intelligence.

"This is too precious, how is an academy quota enough?

Make another condition, otherwise I won't feel at ease taking this ginseng,"

Zhou Qiu Cheng glanced at the ginseng and quickly closed the box, with a hint of caution in his eyes.

Zhang Chen looked at Zhou Qiu Cheng in surprise.

This person was indeed an honest gentleman, an honest person.

If it were someone else, they would be eager to take advantage, but Zhou Qiu Cheng actually felt that the conditions he gave were not enough, which showed that his heart was indeed honest and worthy of Zhang Chen's deep friendship.

"If you can take care of me more in the academy in the future, I will be very grateful,"

Zhang Chen said.

Zhou Qiu Cheng held the ginseng, frowned, and looked Zhang Chen up and down with a pair of eyes.

After a while, he said, "Do you have a teacher?"

Zhang Chen replied when he heard this: "I have already taken a teacher."

Zhou Qiu Cheng scratched his chin: "You don't necessarily have to only take one teacher, why don't you take me as your teacher?

I will teach you everything I know without reservation, so that I can feel at ease.

Such ginseng is no longer something that ordinary things can measure.

Only the great road I have studied all my life, the knowledge I have studied, can compensate for this treasure."

Zhang Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Hearing Zhou Qiu Cheng's words, he suddenly thought of a brilliant idea: "If Teacher really feels bad, I have a younger brother and a younger sister, and a little senior sister.

Why don't you let them take you as their teacher and follow you to learn knowledge?"

Zhang Chen had been worried for a long time, feeling that his younger brother and sister, Cheng Yu, had not received systematic teaching.

Although they had cultivated supernatural powers, they had never been nurtured by culture.

In the future, their foundation would not be enough.

Now Zhou Qiu Cheng suddenly spoke, which made Zhang Chen feel moved.

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Zhou Qiu Cheng's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and then he nodded: "That's okay."

"Then I will leave it to Teacher,"

Zhang Chen respectfully saluted Zhou Qiu Cheng.

Zhou Qiu Cheng held the ginseng in his arms, still feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

This was an 8,000-year-old ginseng, with incredible effects.

He felt like he was holding a hot potato, so he asked again: "Do you really have no other requirements?

You can ask for gold and silver as you like, and I will never bargain."

Zhang Chen shook his head when he heard this: "It's just some money."

"Since that's the case, send your younger brother and sister to the academy tomorrow and take a teacher directly,"

Zhou Qiu Cheng said.

Zhang Chen nodded, and then Zhou Qiu Cheng took out a jade token from his sleeve and handed it to Zhang Chen: "You can find me at the academy tomorrow."

Then Zhou Qiu Cheng said goodbye with the ginseng in his arms.

He was worried about his son's injuries and dared not delay for a moment.

Zhang Chen sent the two out of the courtyard and turned to walk towards the room where the three little ones were sitting in meditation and practicing.

He had to tell them about the apprenticeship tomorrow.

It was just that Cheng Yu's identity was a bit troublesome, but Zhang Chen also had a countermeasure in his heart.

He now controlled the power of reincarnation, and the power of reincarnation could shield Cheng Yu's aura.

It is said that Zhou Qiu Cheng and Wang Chong walked out of the courtyard, and Zhou Qiu Cheng sat in the carriage and said to Wang Chong: "What do you think of this son?"

Hearing this, Wang Chong didn't even think about it, and directly said: "Extraordinary demeanor, with great courage."

"This 8,000-year-old ginseng is enough to treat a ninth-level Yang God powerhouse as a horse, and even a tenth-level powerhouse can take action for it, but he doesn't care at all, which shows that he is a person with courage,"

Wang Chong said.

Zhou Qiu Cheng nodded when he heard this, which was considered to agree with the other party's words, and then sighed faintly: "I only hope that this ginseng can save his life, otherwise it will really be too late."

The two quickly returned to the academy, and then Wang Chong personally decocted the ginseng into soup and gave it to Zhou Qiu Cheng's son.

This was an 8,000-year-old ginseng.

Wang Chong was not at ease with others handling it, for fear that he would not be able to grasp the heat properly and ruin the good thing.

As the ginseng soup was poured into the young man's mouth, the young man's aura instantly became stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his vitality began to become vigorous.

His spirit, energy, and spirit continued to grow, and before long, the young man opened his eyes.

"It's healed!

It's really healed!"

Zhou Qiu Cheng looked at his son waking up, and his breath began to scatter with excitement.

"Dad, I seem to have slept for a long time.

In my dream, someone was pulling me all the time, trying to chase me to a dark place.

I have been struggling, so tired,"

The young man on the bed opened his mouth, his voice was still weak, but he spoke clearly.

"There is still more than half a bowl of ginseng soup here, you will definitely recover after you take it.

Come, open your mouth quickly,"

Zhou Qiu Cheng held the ginseng soup and poured it down for his son, with a look of excitement in his eyes.

"Dad, you seem to be a lot haggard,"

The young man looked at Zhou Qiu Cheng and said with some heartache: "My child has made you worry, my child is unfilial."

"What are you talking about, child, you were also backlashed by the mystery, you didn't want this to happen, did you?"

Zhou Qiu Cheng smiled and comforted.
