In the silent night, there are strange shadows, and there is a strange smell in the air, which makes people's hair stand on end.
"who is it?"
Ye Ming asked in a low voice, and there was a strange sound coming from outside the door.
"Hu Qingsong from Feiniu Ridge, meet Mr. Ye!"
Hu Qingsong was the name of the bald fox. Ye Ming's heart gradually relaxed, he grabbed the lid of the teacup on the table and threw it towards the sleeping Li Daoran.
"What's wrong?"
Li Daoran woke up with a start and thought Ye Ming was going to the toilet.
Ye Ming glanced at Li Daoran, who looked at the door and was shocked.
"It's Hu Qingsong! Help me up!"
Ye Ming lowered his voice. He couldn't let this old fox know about his current situation.
Li Daoran nodded, carried him to the chair and let him sit down, then walked to the door and opened the door.
Hu Qingsong stood at the door. When he saw Li Daoran opening the door, a look of flattery suddenly appeared on the fox's face, and he bowed to Li Daoran with two paws.
"Meet the Taoist Master!"
Li Daoran hummed and turned sideways to let Hu Qingsong in.
"Are you here for anything?"
Ye Ming sat on the chair, looking as solemn as a god.
Hu Qingsong came forward and bowed, and then like a magic trick, he made a white-haired mouse head and placed it on the ground.
"Hu Qingsong lived up to Master Ye and brought this thief rat to you!"
Ye Ming had no expression on his face. He glanced at the head of the white-haired mouse on the ground, nodded and said: "You did a good job, this is your reward!"
Ye Ming waved, and Li Daoran picked up the bowl on the table, took a bowl of water from a bucket and handed it to Hu Qingsong.
Smelling the water with rich spiritual energy in the bowl, Hu Qingsong almost salivated. But when he saw a bucket full of water with rich spiritual energy, the greed in his eyes became even more intense.
But Hu Qingsong only glanced at it and lowered his head. Although the spiritual energy water was good, Ye Ming was not someone to be trifled with. He would probably kill him if he had even the slightest thought.
Hu Qingsong put away the spiritual energy water, but stood there and did not move away.
Ye Ming asked: "Is there anything else?"
Hu Qingsong hesitated for a moment and said: "Qingsong has an unkind request, and I hope Master Ye will agree to it."
Ye Ming and Li Daoran looked at each other, what did this old fox want to do?
"What do you think!"
Hu Qingsong bowed to Ye Ming and said: "The little fox's family is in decline, the little fox is weak, and there is only one promising granddaughter under his knees. Now he is stuck in the bottleneck of cultivation and cannot take supplements. Little Fox, I want to use one of the treasures in my family to replace Master Ye.
A bowl of spiritual water!"
"Treasure?"
Ye Ming's heart moved. Mountain spirits and monsters have been practicing for hundreds to thousands of years. Most of them will collect some long-lasting treasures. Could it be that after he was paralyzed, God asked Hu Qingsong to send the treasure to make up for it?
Ye Ming couldn't help but smile: "What treasure?"
"It's a treasure pill left by the little fox ancestor!"
Hu Qingsong took out a wooden box with dragons and phoenixes carved on it, giving it a strong sense of history. Not to mention the treasure inside, even this small box was worth a lot of money.
Ye Ming's eyes suddenly widened, and Li Daoran even let out an exclamation.
This scene was captured by Hu Qingsong, with a sly smile on his lips.
"Ahem!" Ye Ming realized that he had lost his composure, coughed slightly to cover it up, and then asked Li Daoran to get another bowl of spiritual water for Hu Qingsong.
"Thank you, Master Ye, thank you Master Dao!"
Hu Qingsong took the water from Li Daoran's hand and quickly poured it into a gourd he carried with him.
"It's getting late, so I won't disturb you two and take my leave, little fox!"
Hu Qingsong achieved his goal, raised his paws at Ye Ming and Li Daoran, and ran away without waiting for Ye Ming to speak.
"Why does this old fox feel so weird?"
Li Daoran frowned, stretched out his hand to open the simple wooden box, and his eyes suddenly widened.
"Mom sells batches, I'm fooled!"
There was no treasure in the box. It was clearly a pitch black stone that was scattered all over the place!
No! This thing is worse than a stone. It is covered with weathered pits and has a stinky smell, as if it had been soaked in a latrine for several years.
Li Daoran's face turned red with anger, and he cursed and said that he shouldn't trust this old fox. Next time he met it, he would have to twitch and peel off his skin!
At this moment, in the woods outside the village, Hu Qingsong was already grinning from ear to ear. He exchanged a useless stone for a bowl of spiritual energy water. This deal made him crazy money!
Hu Qingsong wasn't lying when he said that this stone was indeed a treasure passed down from his ancestors. However, Hu Qingsong had been studying it for hundreds of years and found no clues.
After thinking about it, Hu Qingsong thought that his grandfather must have been an old fool before he died and passed a stone to him as a treasure.
There was no use keeping this thing in his hand, but Hu Qingsong couldn't bear to throw it away. Ever since he saw Ye Ming's spiritual energy water, he had a second thought when he returned.
"A bowl of spiritual energy water in exchange for my ancestor's treasure, you won't lose! You won't lose!"
Hu Qinsong shook his head and happily went into the woods to return to Feiniu Ridge.
Ye Ming took the stone out of the box and looked at it. Although it was ordinary in appearance, a thick patina had formed on the surface, which was obviously formed after hundreds or even thousands of years of playing.
There should be no such thing as literary play in the demon world. Even if there were, it would be impossible to play with a broken stone lying around. Wouldn't it be more cool to get two walnuts or string beads on a plate?
Ye Ming judged that this stone must be a treasure. Hu Qingsong was cunning and cunning, and he should not exchange valuable treasures for spiritual water with himself. The only possibility is that he did not know that it was a real treasure.
Thinking of this, Ye Ming immediately opened his eyes, and he was stunned at this sight.
Under the eyes of the clever eyes, this inconspicuous stone actually contains spiritual energy that is as solid as substance!
The corners of Ye Ming's mouth rose, and he remembered the story about He's Bi in "Han Feizi".
When the Heshi Jade was first discovered, it was covered with a layer of inferior stone skin, but after the stone skin was removed, it became a beautiful jade that shocked the world!
The stone in Ye Ming's hand is like an uncut He's jade, and Hu Qingsong is a jade craftsman with no eyesight!
"Master Patriarch, I will go to Feiniu Ridge to dig out the lair of Hu Qingsong's old fox. If he dares to deceive us, I will beat his muscles and skin him!"
The more Li Daoran talked, the angrier he became. He grabbed the box containing the magic weapon and rushed out of the door.
"Don't go. It's a blessing in disguise. It's just a bowl of water. We won't suffer any loss!"
The Patriarch had already spoken, but Li Daoran had no choice but to give up.
"Help me go to bed and rest. It's okay for you to sleep on the chair. You can go to the next room to rest. I'll call you if anything happens!"
Li Daoran had been sleeping on the chair for a while and almost had a stiff neck. Hearing Ye Ming ask him to sleep in the next bed, he smiled and agreed.
After carrying Ye Ming to the bed, Li Daoran went to the next door to rest, and soon he was snoring like thunder.
Ye Ming was no one, but he grabbed the stone and slammed it on the edge of the bed.
"Click!"
With a crisp sound, the outer stone skin shattered, and a soft light burst out from the crack. The dark room was instantly illuminated, and the air was filled with spiritual energy that was as real as substance.
Ye Ming took a deep breath and suddenly felt that his limbs were extremely comfortable, his muscles and bones were crackling as if they were about to grow, and even his Dantian felt ready to move.
"This is truly a treasure!"
Ye Ming was extremely surprised. A bowl of water was exchanged for a stone full of rich spiritual energy. This transaction made a lot of money!
Just when Ye Ming was happy, his expression suddenly changed, and his Dantian started to move on its own. This chapter has been completed!
