I am Goldfinger [Xiu Xian]
Chapter 21
Over there, the ginseng essence was still absorbing the energy of the earth. Just as Ji Mingyuan was about to step forward to catch the opponent, the sudden change suddenly occurred. His expression changed, and he frowned and looked towards the exit of the villa.
"Fuck! What is this? Biochemical pollution? Mutated plants!?" Qi Shaoyang's fussy voice sounded, and He Zhan secretly cried out.
Qi Shaoyang ran around behind his father all day, in the name of establishing contacts, and finally escaped from the clutches of the clutches while he was in a hurry to urinate. He was looking for a place to rest when he saw such a big ginseng!This is sour!He couldn't help shaking his body.Then Qi Shaoyang thought of "The Mermaid in the Sewer". Could it be that this ginseng was produced because of ecological pollution like that thing?Fuck!Everyone should take good care of environmental hygiene!Make such a thing, good, so scary! QQ
Hearing his voice, the ginseng essence slowly turned its head, its face stuck to the white ginseng body like a sticker, and slowly opened a strange arc, looking at Qi Shaoyang eeriely.
Qi Shaoyang screamed in disbelief, his face turned pale with fright: "Ba, Uncle Ba Song!"
Now his heart can be said to be overwhelmed. Although his face was a lot shrunken, Qi Shaoyang recognized at a glance that this was from country T, and he was a good friend of grandpa.
So is this a birthday prank?Thinking of this, Qi Shaoyang laughed hahaha, no matter how he heard it, he felt that there was a feeling of wanting to cry: "Uncle Basong, is this...you gave me a birthday present? It's not scary at all...hehehehe ..."(┬_┬)
Bassong finally spoke, his voice was a little shrill, and a leaf slowly grew out of his head when he spoke, which seemed to have a very strong visual effect.Qi Shaoyang felt that the grass mud horse in his mind had prolapsed, because his first thought was actually the village head of Manyangyang...
"Ah, that's right, uncle hasn't given you a birthday present yet. However, I believe that you will definitely like the big present that uncle will give you next."
After finishing speaking, a ginseng whisker suddenly emerged from the place where Qi Shaoyang was standing. The plant that usually looks limp, shot towards Qi Shaoyang like a death needle.Qi Shaoyang's eyes widened, his head went blank with fright, and he didn't even know how to dodge. He sighed in his heart, what the hell, is this young master's life like a flower going to end so cruelly? !God, help me!
God seemed to have really heard his cries for help, the deadly ginseng whiskers just stopped one centimeter away from Qi Shaoyang's heart, and were burned to ashes by a flame.
The body was burned, the ginseng spirit was furious, and looked fiercely at the place where the fire was shining, "Who is there!?"
Ji Mingyuan clicked his tongue, and led He Zhan out calmly.Qi Shaoyang felt that his outlook on life had been refreshed again, showing an incredulous expression, "Teacher Ji?"
Oh my god, what kind of world am I living in? Why does my formerly amiable uncle turn out to be a ginseng essence, and the beautiful Chinese teacher who seems powerless can breathe fireballs!
"Mr. Basong, let's talk?" Ji Mingyuan smiled, looked at the ginseng essence with confidence, and with the snap of his fingers, he released a barrier to block the sight of others.
Ba Song looked at Ji Mingyuan with vigilance in his eyes. Just now, with Ji Mingyuan's move, Ba Song asked himself that even in his heyday, he couldn't do it.He is just a ginseng essence that accidentally opened his mind. He has never learned systematic cultivation techniques and spells. By chance, he got a magic weapon to hide his breath, otherwise he would have been someone else's dinner.
He was at his weakest when he was absorbing the energy of the earth, and when he met this highly cultivated monk in front of him again, Basong's heart was now icy cold, and the thoughts in his mind were the same as what Qi Shaoyang thought just now - my life is over .
"Don't worry, I don't want fellow Taoist's life." Seeing the despair and determination in Ba Song's eyes, as if he was planning to fight him to the death, Ji Mingyuan added.
"That sounds good! I have cultivated ginseng for 3000 years, and I have absorbed so much essence of the sun and the moon. If I eat it, I can save at least 50 years of cultivation. Which monk doesn't covet it?! You say that now, but it's just Just want to take me down without wasting effort! Hmph, I still understand the truth that people’s hearts are sinister after walking in the world for so many years! However, if you want to eat my flesh, I will take half of you even if I lose my soul. Pi!" Basong stood facing the wind with a look of grief and indignation, the leaves on his head were still trembling in the wind, it was very tragic, "If I die, there will be ginseng later!"
Ji Mingyuan didn't expect that this ginseng essence was still a chatterbox, and he kept chattering endlessly. He interrupted impatiently: "I have a demon cultivation method suitable for you!"
Basong's mouth was full of flesh and skin, and He Zhan and Qi Shaoyang's expressions kept changing when they heard He Zhan and Qi Shaoyang next to him.However, after hearing that Ji Mingyuan had a demon cultivator in his hand, Basong's eyes lit up like two [-]-watt light bulbs, and he swept away the image of the previous martyr with a frenzied expression: "You really have a demon cultivator in your hand." Cultivation method? I'll trade it with you! As long as I have it, I can give you anything!"
After finishing speaking, he immediately added: "Except for my meat!"
Ji Mingyuan really wondered why he was able to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage with such an IQ, and was not caught to make soup.
"I don't want your meat. I just want your medicinal herb garden. You hold more than half of the medicinal material supply in country T. It's not because you are a small medicinal material dealer, right?"
Basong rolled his eyes, "I can give you the herb garden, in country T, there are several hills, and the herbs on my body, I will give you all!"
Ji Mingyuan looked at the other party expressionlessly, and a ball of fire suddenly lit up in his hand. Qi Shaoyang, who was watching from the side, was amazed, but after seeing the ball of fire, Ginseng Jing Basong showed a look of panic on his face. Couldn't help shrinking back.
"Okay, okay, if you have something to talk about, don't play with fire! What if something causes a fire..."
Ji Mingyuan was very annoyed, "Shut up! We Ming people don't talk dark words, I want the space magic weapon in your hand, and your ten ginseng whiskers. Don't worry, the exercises I gave you are definitely worth the price. Moreover, you have no room to bargain with me at all!"
After finishing speaking, the aura that is a hundred times stronger than ginseng essence is released, and all of them are crushed towards Basong, and the face of ginseng essence turns pale again, terrified, "You are, you are..."
Ji Mingyuan instantly withdrew his coercion again, and smiled gently at Basong, but in Basong's eyes, that smile was a little more terrifying than the evil spirits in hell.
"Well, have you considered it?"
Bassong smiled wryly, "Do I have anything to think about?"
####
Encountered a series of unscientific events, when Qi Shaoyang returned to the banquet venue, he was still in a daze.
"Son, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?" Qi Guofan asked with concern when he saw his son's pale face and his distraught look.
Qi Shaoyang looked at his father with a complicated expression, his lips trembled, and he hesitated to speak.Thinking of being brainwashed by those three people at the same time to make him forget what he saw before, Qi Shaoyang shook his head, "It's okay, just a little tired."
Qi Guorong glanced at Qi Lingbao, who was chatting and laughing with his father not far away, patted his son on the shoulder, and sighed helplessly, "Go to rest when you are tired, you are still young, Dad shouldn't force you."
Qi Shaoyang's lips moved slightly, and he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by a man walking over: "Brother Guofan, I have a heartfelt request, I wonder if you can agree?"
Qi Guorong looked at the smiling Ba Song, who also had a smile on his face, completely ignoring Qi Shaoyang whose face suddenly turned pale.
Basong glanced at Qi Shaoyang meaningfully and said, "It's like this. I plan to develop business in Huaguo for a long time, and I want to find an agent in Huaguo... I hit it off with Mr. Ling. Are you willing to bear the pain and give up your love?"
"But Shaoyang is only 15 years old, is he too young?" Qi Shaoyang raised his heart, and nodded desperately to agree with his father's words, yes, yes, I don't want to work with a ginseng essence!
"Boys, ability is to be developed from an early age, and I don't think Shaoyang is like an ordinary child, you have to believe in his ability."
When Qi Guorong heard this, his heart moved, and he pushed his son out with a smile: "Brother Ba Song is right! Then, my Shaoyang will be entrusted to you to take care of me!"
Bassong smiled meaningfully, "Naturally."
Qi Shaoyang: "..."

Ji Mingyuan followed He Zhan back to his room in stealth, and after closing the door, Ji Mingyuan couldn't wait to take out the magic weapon of space that he got from Basong.
He Zhan looked at the green beetle in Ji Mingyuan's hand, and had no idea that it contained nearly a hundred acres of land. "What's this thing called? It looks ordinary, but it's really as powerful as that ginseng spirit said."
Ji Mingyuan pressed the back of the beetle, and when he pressed it, the beetle opened a pair of small wings on the back, with some black spots on the wings, "The shape of this space magic weapon is very similar to the legendary monster nine-winged insect." Like, as far as I know, the natural skill of the Nine-winged Beetle is to open up space. An adult Nine-winged Beetle can open up to ten thousand acres of space. If you can get 49 Nine-winged Beetles, you will open up a new space. The surface is not difficult either. This space magic weapon is probably forged from the remnants of the Nine-winged Beetle, but this Nine-winged Beetle only has a pair of wings, so it is reasonable that the space area in it is greatly reduced."
"Then what are you waiting for, let's go in and have a look!" He Zhan half understood, but he had never seen such a fraudulent space magic weapon, and now he couldn't wait.
Ji Mingyuan smiled slightly, and drove his consciousness into those little black dots.
As soon as He Zhan finished speaking, he felt his eyes go dark, but in a short while, he and Ji Mingyuan appeared in another place.
"It's so beautiful!" He Zhan looked at the scenery in front of him dumbfounded, and couldn't help but let out a cry of exclamation.
The space inside the Beetle was really beyond his expectations, with blue sky, white clouds, green grass, and occasional breeze, the whole place was like a paradise.
The place where he and Ji Mingyuan were located was a large medicine garden, and the faint smell of medicine floated in the air.Looking around, almost three-quarters of the entire space was planted with herbs.
"When I get old, I will come to this kind of place to retire!" He Zhan finished speaking and looked at Ji Mingyuan expectantly.
But Ji Mingyuan was very puzzled, "You won't grow old, and you can't practice in this place."
"Why can't you practice?"
There are more types of medicinal herbs in the Nine-winged Worm Space than Ji Mingyuan imagined, and some of them have a little bit of spiritual power. In addition, Ji Mingyuan was very satisfied and in a good mood, and patiently explained to He Zhan: "The place we are in There are actually many tiny space wormholes in the space. These impulses connect one plane to another, but there are also places where some wormholes connect to nothingness. The principle of the nine-winged insects to open up space is to use these wormholes to open up nothingness... …But these spaces created by using nothingness are very unstable and require a lot of spiritual support. If a monk cultivates in it, he will definitely mobilize the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth, which may cause the space to collapse and die in the wormhole."
He Zhan nodded, regretfully.A small thought flashed in his mind - if Ji Mingyuan could live here with him all the time, it would be fine if he didn't practice.
However, this idea was quickly obliterated by himself. Not to mention that Ji Mingyuan is not a person willing to be mediocre, even he can't always hide there and enjoy his life. He still has a lot to do. The relationship between him and Ji Mingyuan There is still a long time.
After leaving the nine-winged insect space, Ji Mingyuan took out another thing he got from the ginseng essence-a few ginseng whiskers the thickness of an adult's thumb.
I saw that the ginseng whiskers were all pure white, exuding a lustrous light, and it was not ordinary at first glance.
For this reason, He Zhan was very resentful, because Ji Mingyuan had tricked him into asking him to eat the whole ginseng essence before... He really didn't expect Ji Mingyuan to have such a dark belly!
"Hmph! Didn't you say you want me to eat the whole ginseng? Why are there only a few roots now?"
Ji Mingyuan didn't change his face, and he didn't have the slightest sense of being settled by Qiu Hou: "Ginseng is a natural spiritual thing, how could I do something against the law of killing him? But even though it's just a few roots, the spiritual power in it is not enough. Xiaoshi, you take one daily, remember not to overeat."
"Fuck! What is this? Biochemical pollution? Mutated plants!?" Qi Shaoyang's fussy voice sounded, and He Zhan secretly cried out.
Qi Shaoyang ran around behind his father all day, in the name of establishing contacts, and finally escaped from the clutches of the clutches while he was in a hurry to urinate. He was looking for a place to rest when he saw such a big ginseng!This is sour!He couldn't help shaking his body.Then Qi Shaoyang thought of "The Mermaid in the Sewer".
