I am Goldfinger [Xiu Xian]
Chapter 20
When Qi Shaoyang brought him to the guest seat, He Zhan almost saw Ji Mingyuan who was sitting there in a daze at first glance. He walked over quickly and waved his palm in front of Ji Mingyuan's eyes.
At this time, almost all the guests who came to the birthday party came.Qi Lingbao and Qi Shaoyang followed an old man with a gray beard in a Tang suit to the center of the field. There was a white carpet on the green lawn, surrounded by many unique flower baskets.The background is the blue sea and blue sky, shadowy reefs and unnamed trees with leaves as big as cattail fans, swaying gently in the wind...
"Today is the 15th birthday party of my two grandsons, Qi Shaoyang and Qi Lingbao. All of you here are friends of our Qi family, close friends of my husband and grandson... I, an old man, will not What are you talking about? I hope you will have a good time and have fun!" The old man with white beard was talking, his face was ruddy, and his voice was like a bell. After he said a few words of speech, he patted Qi Shaoyang and Qi Lingbao. shoulder, smiled and said something to the two teenagers, and then went down.
After Ji Mingyuan saw the old man go down, he walked to a person in the front row of the guest seats.Ji Mingyuan noticed just now that there seemed to be a lot of people around that person, and from time to time someone would come over to strike up a conversation, and he looked very unusual.After Mrs. Qi came over, the man got up to greet him. The two talked and said a few words with a smile, and then they left together. It must be that Mrs. Qi thinks there are too many people here, so he beckoned them to chat inside. up.
After the man left, the other people around looked a little disappointed, and one of them was someone Ji Mingyuan knew, Li Hua from Zhicao Pharmacy.It seems that the person just now was Basong, a medicine merchant from country T. Ji Mingyuan silently thought about how to negotiate with that person for a while... Suddenly, a white thing appeared in front of his eyes, "What is this?"
He Zhan put the things in Ji Mingyuan's palm, and said as if claiming credit: "It's carved from suet jade, my dad gave it to Qi... mine." He almost slipped his tongue, his dad chose two pieces of suet with exquisite workmanship The jade pendant was a birthday present for the two young masters of the Qi family. Although he was reluctant to part with Qi Shaoyang's piece, he still gave it away on the way. As for Qi Lingbao's piece, heh, He Zhan said that he didn't want to give gifts to the enemy at all.
Ji Mingyuan rubbed the smiling Maitreya Buddha in his hand. The jade was fine and crystal clear, and it looked good at first glance. "The color is good, but the spiritual power is not enough. It's not enough to open up a space." In fact, it was more than a little worse, but Ji Mingyuan didn't want to hit He Zhan He didn't say anything about his enthusiasm.
"Just as long as you're satisfied." He Zhan smiled contentedly, his eyes stuck to Ji Mingyuan's body.
Just in time, Ji Mingyuan intentionally mentioned a few things about his cultivation: "Is there anything you don't understand about cultivation? I was busy recuperating recently, so I didn't pay attention to your cultivation progress."
He Zhan touched his head, a little flattered: "There is no problem in cultivation, according to the method you gave me, I have not made any mistakes, but recently I always feel that when I am practicing, I have a feeling of qi in my stomach, and I can't get up or down. It's so uncomfortable..." He Zhan was a little ashamed to speak out, these days he always felt that he wanted to burp and fart, but he couldn't breathe at all.
Ji Mingyuan was speechless. He shouldn't have underestimated He Zhan's five-element useless spirit root.Look, I haven't encountered any bottlenecks in my cultivation, not to mention, it's only a few days before I will be promoted.But He Zhan can really imagine that he actually regards aura as something...that...
"It means that the aura in your body has accumulated to a certain level, and you need to purify and compress it, that is, you have to advance. You are now at the third level of Qi Refining, and after all the aura is compressed, you can be promoted to the fourth level of Qi Refining." layers."
"Tsk tsk, you only have the fourth level of refining Qi, so what kind of monkey years and months does it take to become an immortal to succeed!" He Zhan complained. He has never been a slow person who can calm down. taller than others.However, there is no distinction between high and low in front of the Cultivation of Immortals, everyone is treated equally, no matter how talented you are, you have to climb up step by step.
Ji Mingyuan didn't intend to talk anymore, and sat on the chair, as if an old monk had entered into a samadhi, "You can just practice in the Qin family."
He Zhan was discouraged and wanted to continue talking to Ji Mingyuan, but the other party ignored him. He stopped talking after touching a few soft nails. He sat on his seat and practiced the exercises secretly. As Ji Mingyuan said, he started Practice hard.
This scene happened to be seen by Qi Lingbao, who was brought by their respective fathers to socialize everywhere. He clenched the goblet tightly in his hand until his veins came out. Qi Shaoyang on the side watched happily and whispered to him: "Ji The teacher is so charming, young and old, my second cousin has a little bit of interest in him. But no wonder, he is so good, it is reasonable for Ah Zhan to be tempted."
Qi Lingbao gritted his teeth: "Ayang, stop joking, the two of them are men, where are you thinking?"
Qi Shaoyang gave him a weird look, "Aren't you a man?"
Qi Lingbao's face turned ugly, he pursed his lips tightly, and said nothing.Just at this time, the middle-aged man in front of them was greeting the two of them. Qi Lingbao's appearance made that man look a little embarrassed, but Qi Shaoyang smiled and held the hand extended by the man, "Uncle Wang, I have long admired my name, I am Qi Shaoyang."
Qi Guorong turned his head and gave Qi Lingbao a hard look, "What the hell are you doing!"
Qi Lingbao ground his back molars until they creaked, and his disgust towards Ji Mingyuan and Qi Lingbao deepened.
The banquet lasted until the evening, and those who stayed were basically good friends of the two birthday men. It was inevitable that someone with Ji Mingyuan's status would be a little strange.But He Zhan was always by his side, and he didn't care too much about it, so he just sat quietly in a daze, not many people noticed them.
As the night darkened, even He Zhan felt strange: "Ming Yuan, what else do you have to do if you stay here?"
Ji Mingyuan glanced at him, and slowly told him about the medicinal materials.
He Zhan was dumbfounded, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"
Ji Mingyuan squinted at him, "Are you rich?"
He Zhan lowered his head, very ashamed: "...No."
Ji Mingyuan looked away. Although he didn't speak, He Zhan could automatically make up his meaning: Then what are you talking about?
After a while, Ji Mingyuan put the drink in his hand aside, stood up, and walked towards the depths of Bihai Villa.He Zhan followed immediately, "Mingyuan, where are you going?"
Ji Mingyuan made a hissing gesture to him, and He Zhan realized that Ji Mingyuan's direction was the villa area for people to rest in the villa.The two of them were speechless all the way, Ji Mingyuan specially used a breathing technique to slow their pace very lightly.
All the way to the big garden behind the villa area, He Zhan didn't understand what Ji Mingyuan meant.Ji Mingyuan took him to hide behind a small leafy tree, with other plants on both sides, and under the night, they were well covered.
Ji Mingyuan didn't say anything, and He Zhan didn't ask. The place behind the tree was not big, and the two of them were close to each other, which was what he wished for.However, Ji Mingyuan was a little uncomfortable. The people behind him were too close, and almost all of his breath was sprayed on his neck, and his chest was pressed against his back. It was an indescribably weird feeling.
"Mingyuan..." Time seemed to pass very slowly, He Zhan suddenly spoke in a low voice, his voice was still hoarse.
"Hush!" Ji Mingyuan stopped him and pointed to the front.
He Zhan looked intently, and saw a person hurriedly coming out from the back door of the villa, walking towards them.He Zhan remembered that this person seemed to be the one that Ji Mingyuan had noticed during the day.
He is very white, the same white as the wall, and it still shines slightly at night, not to mention how weird it is.Moreover, this person is tall and thin, and his appearance is nothing special, but Ji Mingyuan feels that this person does not look like a person from T country at all, but looks like an authentic Hua country person.
What does Ji Mingyuan pay attention to this person?
The man came to the place where Ji Mingyuan and the two were hiding, but when He Zhan thought he was going to stay here, the man closed his eyes.He Zhan is very horrified, is Hush still brewing emotions? !
In the next second, a layer of white light emanated from this person, covering the entire garden.He Zhan, who has just started cultivating, felt that there seemed to be spiritual fluctuations in this layer of white light. Could it be that this person is still a cultivator?He Zhan was curious.
However, He Zhan's cultivation base is so low that he can't see it, but Ji Mingyuan knows that this layer of blue light is actually not spiritual power, but divine consciousness. It can't be seen that this person's cultivation base is quite high, but Ji Mingyuan's cultivation base is higher. It's not a problem to lose the opponent's spiritual awareness.
After a long time, the man carefully retracted the blue light.At this time, the anxious look on his expression became more intense, and he was relieved when he saw that he hadn't found any traces of other people with his spiritual sense.
Then, under He Zhan's dumbfounded gaze, this man stuck his foot into the dirt!
To be precise, his feet turned into white whiskers, which were inserted into the ground like plant roots!After a while, many fluorescent white spots appeared on the ground where the white beard had been inserted, and all entered the person's body along the white beard.
He Zhan felt a little dazzled, and murmured involuntarily as if his world view had been subverted: "...Ginseng?"
Ji Mingyuan had already prepared to put a soundproof cover around the two of them, even if He Zhan made a sound, it would be fine.He explained: "This is a ginseng essence with thousands of years of cultivation. It is the most tonic. If you eat it, you can at least go straight to the late stage of foundation establishment! He can also cultivate to the level of a human monk in the Nascent Soul stage, so he probably isn't an easy character to deal with. However, he doesn't have demon cultivation skills, so unless he cultivates into an immortal body, his body will never be able to escape the shackles of the soil. All plants are cultivated into the dead spot of essence."
He Zhan suddenly had an ominous premonition: "Didn't you want me to eat him?" Although this person's body is a ginseng plant, at least he was still a "human" once!No matter how you say it, He Zhan is also a good young man in the new century who has established three views and is rooted in Miaohong. Cannibalism... Your Majesty, a concubine can't do it!
Ji Mingyuan raised his eyebrows, "It can save you several years of cultivation, why, you still pick and choose?"
He Zhan's expression at this time was as if he had eaten a fly. Although he was very greedy for the years of cultivation, he looked at the monster whose body was slowly turning into a huge ginseng plant, but with a human face. ...
He swallowed, trying to bargain: "Then can you boil him into soup and give it to me?"
Ji Mingyuan refused with a cold face: "You have to eat it raw to fully absorb the power of the medicine."
He Zhan pointed to the ginseng essence and compared it with his hands, "So big?"
Ji Mingyuan turned his head and pretended not to see it, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
At this time, almost all the guests who came to the birthday party came.Qi Lingbao and Qi Shaoyang followed an old man with a gray beard in a Tang suit to the center of the field.
