Siheyuan: Incredible understanding and superb cooking skills

For outsiders, bidding on stones in the market is extremely risky and could lead to bankruptcy. However, for Li Mu, what she cares about is the spiritual energy contained in those stones. She only needs to select and purchase according to their spiritual energy concentration, so there is no need to worry about any loss.

"Could it be that some unexpected event postponed the June International Jade Public Auction to early July?" she asked after thinking. Luo Wen beside him tilted his head and responded, "Maybe there was something unexpected that caused the public auction to be postponed to July 20th. I have never tried such a gambling stone transaction, so I want to witness it with my own eyes."

Li Mu made up her mind without hesitation and said, "Let's go together." She evaluated her existing financial reserves and found that the assets and personal income of the former traveler added up to more than 45 million, which was enough to afford the journey. Therefore, she chose to bring 42 million in cash as an advance.

After listening to her plan, Luo Wen smiled gently and praised, "Great! At first, I was not very confident going alone, but with Mu'er accompanying me, I will feel more courageous and confident."

In preparation for this trip, Li Mu locked in her flight tickets in advance and started applying for a passport and other related procedures for going abroad. Before everything was ready, she also investigated her junior brother Zheng Wenzhe's progress in cultivating immortals to find out more.

Upon this observation, his brows unconsciously frowned slightly. It seemed that the results of Zheng Wenzhe's practice over the past month had stagnated, with no significant progress or improvement.

This shouldn't be the case! With his talent and diligence, he should have made significant progress. Li Mu carefully considered the days and concluded that Zheng Wenzhe should be able to enter the next level of practice in the near future.

"When I'm practicing qigong and entering a state of tranquility, I always feel irritable and restless, as if I can't concentrate. There are always insignificant thoughts disturbing me," Cheng Wenzhe asked. She was worried and suspected that there might be some deviation in her practice steps or that she had accidentally touched something unlucky. "Could it be that there is a deviation in my practice or something worse has happened?" she wondered secretly.

Faced with doubtful questions, Li Mu's expression suddenly darkened and became serious, "Try to review the operation of the entire cultivation meridian."

After following the instructions, Li Mu noticed a detail: a subtle but faint rune mark appeared behind Zheng Wenzhe's head, as if quietly guiding an unknown fluctuation.

With a frown on his face, Li Mu gently stroked his head and successfully dispelled the remaining traces of the ominous talisman.

"Maybe you felt something unusual just now?" Zheng Wenzhe looked quite confused after opening his eyes.

Li Mu responded sarcastically, "That's why it's hard for you to make any further progress in your cultivation. I have now eliminated the effect of that curse, and you almost suffered its backlash." This is exactly the reason: Zheng Wenzhe has just embarked on the path of cultivation and his strength is weak. At this critical moment, it is inevitable that he will be calculated by others. If she were there in person, the other party would immediately suffer a counterattack.

After touching his forehead, Zheng Wenzhe said, "I thought all this was just my fault."

"It seems that my uncle asked someone to cast the curse." In addition to the caster's horoscope, the anti-evil curse also requires some objects related to the living human body as a medium, or those that have been used in the living world. Zhang's parents have passed away for many years. In this environment, the only possibility who has the conditions and motivation to do this is her great uncle.

Furious, Zhang Yunqi wanted to break into Zhang Ming's house and settle a score with this evildoer. However, with her current cultivation level, she could do it even in broad daylight.

Qin Su never took any action against Zhang Ming, but simply left it to Xiao ** as an opportunity for training. Unexpectedly, he felt that he had lived a comfortable life for too long, and felt that fate had taken a lighthearted way, so he took the initiative to bring humiliation upon himself and sent himself to her.

"Does your uncle have no real estate to distribute?" Qin Su asked back.

Zhang Yunqi said with a cold face: "Their family has two real estate units, both of which are in good geographical locations and are also high-quality school district housing. However, the three sons of the Zhang family share them, so there is not enough real estate. When I was a child, my uncle wanted to adopt his youngest son into the Zhang family. He believed that I was the only daughter of the Zhang family and would marry into another family in the future if there were no heirs. As the only daughter of the Zhang family, he imagined that I would marry a ** and become a foreigner in the future, and all the wealth of the Zhang family should be inherited by my uncle."

"In the next few years, their youngest son will graduate and start getting married and having children, so they set their sights on our property rights."

Qin Su thought for a moment, then suddenly raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said with a smile: "It's just a house. Since they want it, I will satisfy their extravagant desire."

So she took out several pieces of talisman paper and used the method of drawing talismans with medicine and stones.

When he was just trying to give her a small warning, he didn't expect her reaction to be so intense. If she had acted calmer at the beginning, her current situation might not be so miserable. As a girl, living alone in such a big house really has no practical significance.

After cursing Zhang Yunqi in his heart, Zhang Ming left home and went for a walk in the park downstairs. While walking, he noticed an old man standing in a corner of the park, talking on his cell phone. "I don't want to stay in that villa. That place always reminds me of your mother, which makes me sad, so why not sell the villa?"

The old man's words also attracted the attention of passers-by. "So, how about the houses near Chenguang Community? I think we should just buy two more houses nearby, which will just be enough to meet the needs of the two grandchildren."

As he was talking, the old man suddenly felt difficulty breathing, and the phone in his hand fell down. A small medicine bottle also rolled out of his clothes on his chest, but he couldn't move to retrieve it. If it were someone else, they might be cautious and not interfere, for fear of causing trouble and disputes. But this elegantly dressed old man obviously came from a wealthy background, and his tone was gentle and he mentioned the "two houses" casually as if it was a trivial matter.

Zhang Ming then walked over, helped the old man to get up, picked up the medicine bottle that had fallen to the ground, and handed him a pill. The old man seemed to feel much more at ease after taking the medicine, and looked at Zhang Ming with gratitude: "Thank you so much, otherwise I might have lost my life now."

Hearing this, Zhang Mingxian showed a kind and honest look and responded, "Even if it wasn't me who helped, other people would have done the same." But he secretly thought to himself: Since the other party knows that I was the one who rescued them, shouldn't I at least express some gratitude?

The old man suggested: "Since you know I live nearby, do you have any suitable houses for sale? As long as your house is of good quality, the price is negotiable." Zhang Ming thought of his two properties at this time. Given the generosity of the old man and his kind gesture, he estimated that the reward would not be small, and his heart was slightly moved. He quickly replied, "I happen to have two residences, both of which are of excellent quality. If you are interested, why not go over and take a look?"

The old man was indeed curious after hearing this, and with the help of Zhang Ming, he carefully checked the house Zhang Ming mentioned. While looking at it, he gave a satisfactory evaluation: "The lighting is really excellent, and it is close to the middle school, and the environment is great." "The greenery of the surrounding community is also quite good."

The old man's satisfaction far exceeded his expectations, and his words were full of praise. Seeing this scene, Zhang Ming secretly felt relieved. Not long after, the old man paid a price far exceeding 30% of the market price to purchase the two houses. This is a result that makes people feel like a lucky gift from heaven.

The only unsatisfactory thing was that the old man was too conservative. He refused to accept the bank transfer and insisted on paying in cash. This made Zhang Ming spend a lot of time counting them one by one with a money counting machine, and finally he calculated the huge amount of money.

……

After settling all matters, Zhang Bai freely boasted about this adventure at home and took pride in it as a topic of conversation.

"Mom, you've sold both of our apartments. Where are you going to live in the future? Won't you find a new apartment to rent?" The eldest daughter of the Li family asked this question worriedly.

Li Hao said confidently and complacently, "Don't worry, I have already purchased a super spacious apartment. This apartment is over 600 square meters and has three floors, which is enough for the whole family to live in. The remaining cost will be divided equally between your sister and me, which will just be enough to make up part of the deposit."

When he talks about the opportunity to finally get such a grand living space in his old age, he feels as refreshed and comfortable as drinking a cup of herbal tea in midsummer.

Li Ting said, "Why would you buy such a big apartment for no reason? If not, maybe the money would be better invested in another apartment?"

Li Hao rolled his eyes. "What do you know? The chairman was immersed in the grief of losing his spouse. So, he decided to sell it. At first, he wanted me to find a suitable buyer, but I felt that although the location was a bit remote, it was very advantageous, so I bought it. Didn't I save his life before? Based on this gratitude, he sold the apartment to me at a very favorable price."

"Assuming we don't move back in the future, reselling it can also bring in some profits. But I will definitely not sell this house in the next two years. After all, I have heard that a subway will be opened nearby. When the subway is completed, the housing prices nearby will at least rise again."

Li Hao felt so happy and satisfied talking about his good fortune over the past few months that he started bragging about his achievements during dinner, and his story filled the whole family with excitement.

Similarly, the eldest daughter is also satisfied with this investment. Imagine that one weekend in the future, she will bring her lover to live here, and their parents may look at them with envy, which will greatly improve her impression in the eyes of others.
