Chapter 294: True and False Snow Lotus
"I said that's not the Centennial Snow Lotus." Feng Jueyu's expression remained unchanged, with a faint smile on his face.
But when he said these words, Cheng Shaojing immediately became anxious and stood up from the ground. Cheng Shaojing cursed loudly: "You are talking nonsense, why aren't you the Centennial Snow Lotus?"
He looked at Feng Jueyu with disdain and said: "Have you, a servant of the Ming Dynasty, ever seen the Centennial Snow Lotus? I spent a lot of money to get this from the top of the snow-capped mountains thousands of miles away. This is the only one in a hundred years."
One plant, if you don’t understand it, don’t talk nonsense, it’s something that you don’t understand etiquette.”
Ridiculing and scolding, Cheng Shaojing almost hated Feng Jueyu to his core. He actually said that my century-old snow lotus was fake? I spent millions of taels of gold to get it, how could it be fake?
Wang Jiutong also frowned and said: "Shaojing is right. The century-old snow lotus grows on the top of the snow mountain. It is transformed from snow lotus. After hundreds of years, it turned from six thin petals into twelve petals. This is indeed the century-old snow lotus.
Xuelian, boy, if you don’t understand, don’t talk nonsense. For the sake of Mingdong City asking you to come, I won’t hold you accountable this time, so you should leave here quickly.”
"Did you hear that? I told you to get out of here." Cheng Shaoying roared: "Boy, this matter is not over yet. After I go back, I will go to the Ming family to reason. The Ming family is too arrogant these days. Even the servants are talking nonsense.
Don’t you see where this place is?”
Feng Jueyu looked at the domineering Cheng Shaojing, and felt more contempt and disdain in his heart. This kid knows how to use his identity to pressure others, but he doesn't know who he is? Asking Ming Dongcheng to reason? Do you have the courage? Ben
Are you really not afraid that you won't go?
Too lazy to talk to Cheng Shaojing, Feng Jueyu did not leave, but looked at the Tian Xuelian in Wang Jiutong's hand and said: "Senior is right, ordinary snow lotus will produce six-petal leaves after more than ten years, and only a hundred-year-old Tian Xuelian can reach twelve.
However, the seniors only know one, but not the other..."
"Um?"
Wang Jiutong has a unique understanding of medicine and a progressive attitude towards learning. When he saw that Feng Jueyu said it with certainty and confidence, he didn't seem to be pretending to understand. He couldn't help but have doubts in his heart. After he stopped drinking, he still scolded Feng Jueyu.
Cheng Shaojing, Wang Jiutong's attitude changed slightly, and he said cautiously: "It seems that my little friend knows very well, and Wang is willing to listen attentively."
Wang Jiutong said, but he temporarily suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, thinking to himself, if you can't explain the reason, I will definitely not be able to spare you today...
How could Feng Jueyu fail to see Wang Jiutong's other intentions, but he was not afraid. Although Feng Da Killer had not traveled to Taixuan for a long time and had not seen too many spiritual herbs with his own eyes, he was familiar with the century-old Sky Snow Lotus.
But that's it. Not only are they familiar, there are now seven Heavenly Snow Lotuses that are more than a thousand years old and are growing vigorously in the hot soil of Hongyuan Space.
He once put a lot of effort into cultivating Centenary Snow Lotus, and unexpectedly discovered that after the seeds of Heavenly Snow Lotus were planted, they have been growing in the state of snow lotus. The ten-year-old snow lotus has six petals, but by the ninety-five-year-old
When the time comes, a twelfth petal will grow.
The petals of the snow lotus grow one by one, and they go through a process from small to large. It is not until a hundred years ago that the twelve petals become the same size. Only those who have personally observed the growth process of the snow lotus will know this feature.
Snow lotus grows at the peak of the uninhabited snow-capped mountains. Most people know that the snow lotus has twelve petals when it reaches the age of 100 years. But they don’t know that the twelfth petal only started to grow in the ninety-fifth year, and in the ninety-eighth year
, at ninety years old, the size is almost the same as the rest of the petals, and you can't tell it without looking carefully.
The Snow Lotus that Cheng Shaojing gave to Wang Jiutong actually has such a characteristic. One of the petals looks plump, juicy and full of spirituality, but it is actually a little short of heat. If it were picked another year, it would be a century-old Snow Lotus. I don’t know.
Whoever is ignorant thinks that if they pick this snow lotus in the new year, they will mistakenly think it is a snow lotus.
There is only a slight difference in the medicinal properties of Snow Lotus and Tian Snow Lotus. Even if they have grown for ninety-nine years and 364 days, they are still Snow Lotus, not Tian Snow Lotus. There is a difference of only one step and a thousand miles.
Of course, Cheng Shaojing did not mean to pass off the fake as the real one. In the final analysis, even the person who sold him the Tianxuelian didn’t know whether it was real or fake. He didn’t even know that he had bought a fake Tianxuelian.
The price of Tian Xuelian is over one million taels of gold, but it is still expensive but not marketable.
Snow lotus can be seen everywhere. Basically every drug store has some stock. The price varies depending on the year, but the most expensive one costs a hundred taels of silver.
Therefore, Cheng Shaojing suffered a huge loss from this loss.
After talking eloquently about the characteristics of the century-old snow lotus, Cheng Shaojing and Wang Jiutong stared at the snow lotus in the ice jade box in Wang Jiutong's hand, and for the first time they became suspicious of their judgment.
"Is everything you said true?"
Wang Jiutong seemed to be in great need of the Centenary Sky Snow Lotus. The look on his face changed instantly from excitement to disappointment. The gap was huge. Even the look he looked at Cheng Shaojing showed a hint of displeasure.
When Cheng Shaojing saw this, his heart suddenly tightened. He searched for Tian Xuelian everywhere just so that Wang Jiutong could accept him as his disciple and teach him alchemy. For Tian Xuelian, Cheng Shaojing had been eating and drinking for five years, and finally got one.
Mr. Wang was about to relent, but he didn't expect that Cheng Yaojin like Feng Jueyu suddenly appeared out of nowhere, destroying all his wishes for many years.
Cheng Shaojing was not willing to let such a great opportunity be ruined by Feng Jueyu. Without waiting for Feng Jueyu to reply, he argued: "Senior Wang, don't listen to his nonsense. Look at what he is wearing. He is obviously a servant.
What does he know? In my opinion, he was dissatisfied when he saw you driving him away, so he deliberately caused trouble. Damn it, you despicable guy, why don't you get out of here?"
"Shaojing! Shut up."
Wang Jiutong frowned, and suddenly found that Cheng Shaojing's face had become extremely hateful. Cheng Shaojing used to be polite, how could he become like this?
In fact, Wang Jiutong didn't want to believe Feng Jueyu's words, but he couldn't help but ask clearly what the role of the century-old snow lotus was. He knew very well that if he didn't find out whether the snow lotus was real or fake, even if he had a hundred courages,
Nor dared to use it on the grandson of his savior.
"My friend, what you said is conclusive, do you have any evidence?" Wang Jiutong's tone became somewhat restrained.
Cheng Shaojing was so angry that when he heard this, he immediately shouted: "Yes, what evidence do you have? Unless you can come up with a hundred-year-old Sky Snow Lotus, you are talking nonsense."
Cheng Shaojing was very proud of his quick wit. What is a century-old snow lotus? It is a very rare thing. So what if my flower is fake? Can you show it to be real? Don’t say it is real yet, show it.
It’s impossible to have one flower that is exactly the same.
Cheng Shaojing no longer cares whether his Tian Xuelian is real or fake, as long as he can fool him and let Wang Jiutong accept him as his disciple.
"Centennial Snow Lotus?" Feng Jueyu smiled disdainfully and said, "I really don't have one."
Wang Jiutong was extremely disappointed. He even doubted whether what Cheng Shaojing said was true. How could a servant recognize a century-old snow lotus? Their identities meant that they had never even had a chance to see such a rare object. This boy must be messing around.
explain.
Cheng Shaojing, on the other hand, was excited and overjoyed, and finally passed the test.
Just when they were criticizing Feng Jueyu for his behavior, Feng Jueyu suddenly said something again, which frightened the old man and the young man half to death.
"I don't have a century-old snow lotus, but I do have one that's a thousand years old..."
"What?"
Wang Jiutong suddenly stood up from his chair, and the box in his hand fell to the ground with a clang. Whether it was snow lotus or sky snow lotus, the ice jade box would melt immediately as soon as it left the ice jade box, not to mention it was still the middle of summer.
"Tian Xuelian?"
Cheng Shaojing was about to cry but had no tears. He rushed over and tried to pick up the priceless Tian Xuelian with both hands. Unexpectedly, what he picked up was a handful of ice water that was as cold as bone...
Wang Jiutong didn't even notice it. He walked up to Feng Jueyu, stared at Feng Jueyu with an almost crazy look and said, "Are you really Tian Xuelian?"
Feng Jueyu spread his hands and said: "To be fair to the seniors, this junior does have Tianxuelian, and as far as the juniors know, the hundred-year-old Tianxuelian can cleanse menstruation and cut the marrow for a person, reborn, and I guess there are people who care about me that are in need...
"
"Not bad, not bad, not bad." He said three good words in a row, which showed how excited Wang Jiutong was. But soon, Wang Jiutong's expression dimmed again. He was so excited just now that he believed Feng Jueyu, but now he saw Cheng Shaojing.
The snow lotus he gave turned into snow water. Wang Jiutong felt a little regretful. What if Feng Jueyu couldn't get it out?
What should I do if I refuse to give it to you?
At this moment, Wang Jiutong had two thoughts in his mind. First, if what Feng Jueyu said was a lie, he would definitely kill Feng Jueyu with one palm. Second, as long as he had Tian Xuelian, let alone
One hundred years old, even one thousand years old, as long as there is a price, he will get it even if it costs him everything. He can even owe Feng Jueyu a huge favor.
Feng Jueyu nodded and comforted: "Senior Wang, don't worry, Tian Xuelian is a rare item, how could I just carry it with me casually? It's better to do this. Senior, if you allow me a day and a half, I will definitely offer Tian Xuelian with both hands."
but……"
"But what? You said, as long as I can do it, I will definitely meet your request..." Wang Jiutong was already extremely excited.
Feng Jueyu said: "We will discuss this matter later. Senior Wang is now preparing the ice jade box. Follow me to get it."
"Okay, okay." Since Feng Jueyu himself requested to get the Sky Snow Lotus first, Wang Jiutong no longer had any doubts and immediately ordered the child to prepare the ice jade box.
The two of them turned around and were about to leave, but they forgot one person.
Wang Jiutong looked at Cheng Shaojing on the ground and frowned: "Why are you still here?"
Cheng Shaojing's nose almost turned crooked with anger. Just now Wang Jiutong's attitude towards him was ecstatic, and in the blink of an eye, everything fell apart. And all of this was because of Feng Jueyu, how could he not be angry?
Although full of resentment, Cheng Shaojing temporarily tolerated it and asked: "Senior, what the junior mentioned just now..."
Wang Jiutong glared and refused: "Huh, you can't even tell the authenticity of Tian Xuelian and you still want to learn alchemy? You really don't know what to say, you should go back. For your grandfather's sake, I will do it today.
Pretend it didn’t happen.”
After saying that, Wang Jiutong took Feng Jueyu and walked away.
Cheng Shaojing sat on the ground blankly, with hatred burning in his heart. He was so angry in his heart: Damn it, I can't tell that I'm not worthy of learning alchemy. Have you figured it out? Bearded boy, remember this for me.
, I, Cheng Shaojing, want you to know what will happen if you offend the Cheng family...
