Chen Qing, Chen Shigui, and Chen Shiguang were sitting at the round table. Chen Qing's face was burnt. The other two were seasoned. They had a lot of experience in life and had never encountered anything before. They were calmly cooking wine.
drink.
"Let me tell you niece, did you give him a deposit and was tricked?" Chen Shigui said sarcastically, waiting for boredom.
"How is it possible? Third uncle knows that. I'm a famous iron cock. At most, it's just a waste of feelings." Chen Qing lied. She didn't want this old guy to know that she really gave a deposit, otherwise he might not be able to bury her.
.
"Xiaoqing, are you sure he will come?" Chen Shiguanghu asked.
Chen Qing said truthfully: "If it was yesterday, I would be very sure, but today, it is already afternoon. To be honest, I am a little unsure."
"Well, let's wait for the last stick of incense. If he hasn't appeared yet, it only means that you really made a mistake this time." Chen Guangdao gave the final time limit.
"That's all." Chen Qing agreed, but he was thinking in his heart: "Could he really be deceived? No way, he doesn't look like this kind of person?"
While Chen Qing was thinking wildly, he saw that the man who was looking forward to the stars and the moon finally arrived late. He said excitedly to the door: "Young master is here, please let us wait easily!"
"Sorry, something delayed me. Although we didn't agree on a specific time, logically we should come earlier." Li Xiaotian said, emphasizing that he was not late.
Logically speaking, even if Li Xiaotian was obsessed with practicing and set off at noon, he should have arrived at Guangyuan Tower by now. Why did it take so long?
This is because halfway through, Li Xiaotian thought of being tricked by Chen Qing yesterday, and felt a little uncomfortable. Thinking that the two of them had not agreed on a specific time anyway, he casually found a tavern to kill some time, which made her nervous.
.
"Let me introduce you. This is the young man I said was going to sell us the early fifth-level golden crocodile horns. These two are the third elder and the fourth elder of our Chen family. They came here to help me with my eyes today.
." After Chen Qing asked Li Xiaotian to sit down, he immediately introduced him.
The three of them looked at each other, and Li Xiaotian smiled politely and looked at each other. With just one glance, he knew that the cultivation level of the two elders was not low, especially the fourth elder, whose eyes were bright, which put him under some pressure.
It has entered the realm of three elixirs.
Chen Shigui and Chen Shiguang were also slightly shocked. Looking at his body and aura, it can be concluded that Li Xiaotian has reached the seventh level of meridians. It is true that if you look at the entire world of cultivation, there are people who have cultivated at the seventh level of meridians at his age.
There are quite a few, but this is rare in Shang'an City.
"Junior will get straight to the point."
As Li Xiaotian spoke, he took out the horn and placed it on the table.
Chen Shigui and Chen Shiguang looked at the horns carefully.
Chen Shiguang could tell at a glance that this horn was from the early stage of the fifth level, because it still had the aura of the early stage fifth level Yuan beast. Once he had reached the level of three elixirs, he would be extremely sensitive to the vitality.
Chen Shigui was still in the stage of opening up the meridians, and his ability to sense vitality was not as good as Chen Shiguang's. He could only hold the horn in his hand and observe it. He also tried it with his vitality and found that it was extremely hard, which was almost certain to be true.
Just put it back on the table.
The two nodded to each other and gave Chen Qing an affirmative look.
Seeing this, Chen Qing then said: "After the appraisal by the family elders, it is obvious that the horn of the young master is real. Of course, I have always believed in the young master. However, this is the rule of the family and is just a formality."
As he said that, Chen Qing took out a bag of gold coins and handed it to Li Xiaotian, and continued: "There are twenty-five hundred gold coins in it, which is two thousand five hundred gold coins. Young Master can count them."
Li Xiaotian was still wondering, how could such a small one hold 2,500 gold coins? It couldn't be a storage bag, right? It turned out to be a hundred gold coins. Chen Qing didn't tell him. He really didn't know, and he wasn't there.
I read it in a book.
Taking the money bag, Li Xiaotian didn't actually pour it out and count them one by one. He was just out of curiosity and weighed it and glanced inside, wanting to see what the hundred gold coins looked like. Compared with ordinary gold coins, they were bigger.
There is a lot on it and a lot of weight, with the word "hundred" written in large letters in the middle and a very delicate flower tattooed on the edge.
"You gave me a 70-yuan deposit, and here are the 30 gold coins in change for you." Li Xiaotian put away the money bag, took out a bag of gold coins and handed it to Chen Qing.
Chen Shigui and Chen Shiguang both looked at Chen Qing, but Chen Qing had to accept it with an embarrassed smile.
"Now that the transaction has been completed, may I venture to say something?" Chen Shiguanghu said.
Li Xiaotian's buttocks were almost off the bench. When he saw what he was asking, he sat down again and said, "Senior, it's okay to just ask."
Chen Shiguang said: "Your Excellency is so young and has such cultivation. It can be said that you are quite talented. May I ask where you studied?"
Li Xiaotian replied: "Without a teacher and no door, I am just a casual cultivator."
Chen Shiguang added: "In this case, our Chen family can be considered a high-class family in Shang'an City. An outstanding young talent like the young master is always thirsty for talents. I don't know what you think?"
"To be honest, I wandered around the Mugao Mountains earlier to practice. I left the mountains because my practice encountered a bottleneck. This time I came to Shang'an City just to break through the bottleneck. I have no other plans." Upon hearing the invitation,
Li Xiaotian quickly declined.
"Oh, that's it. Indeed, breaking through the bottleneck is the first priority. If you have any ideas after the breakthrough, or during the process, you can come to the Chen family to see me at any time." Chen Shiguangdao expressed his understanding without forcing anything.
"Definitely. Thank you Fourth Elder for your kindness. I will take my leave first." Li Xiaotian bowed his hands in thanks and did not say anything in vain. He always kept a line in everything so that we can meet each other easily in the future. When he walked to the door, he said again: "Shopkeeper Chen has a lot of extra money in his wallet."
The gold coins you receive can be considered as money to buy drinks for the two elders."
Chen Shigui looked at Li Xiaotian's leaving figure and said, "It's just that growing up in Hunshan Mountain is different from growing up in this greenhouse. He's pretty decent, but he feels too pretentious."
Chen Shiguang retorted: "Third brother is wrong in what he said. Only those who are dedicated to spiritual practice can be considered a true monk. Trivial matters in the world will affect the spiritual character of spiritual practice too much."
"Yes, the second brother is still thinking openly. He has been away for so many years and has never come back once. No wonder his cultivation is so much better than our brothers." Chen Shigui sighed.
Chen Qing felt quite lonely after hearing this.
Chen Shiguang saw this and comforted him: "Don't worry too much. Among our brothers, the second brother is the most skilled and the smartest. Nothing will happen to him."
"Niece Qing, there are only a few days before New Year's Eve. Even with this big sum, there is still a long way to go. If you ask me, admit defeat as soon as possible, renovate it as soon as possible, build the gambling house as soon as possible, and make money as soon as possible."
Chen Shigui said comfortingly.
The effect of reverse comfort is still great. When Chen Qing heard this, he immediately became energetic and said: "Anyway, before the New Year, I can put the designated bonus gold coins into the family treasury. I won't bother Third Uncle to worry about the rest. But
I hope you keep your promise and never have any ideas about Guangyuan Tower again."
"What can I do if I just stick to the empty building? Do you think I want to turn the goods shop into a gambling shop? If you can make money by running this Guangyuan Building, I won't be happy enough, but you know the situation in the family.
Yes, I have stopped paying for it a long time ago, and my feelings cannot be eaten as food." Chen Shigui said earnestly.
"Third brother, please stop saying a few words. After all, this is the only thought that second brother left for Xiao Qing. Also, Xiao Qing made a big deal today. According to this momentum, there is still hope for the year ahead.
Let's wait and see." Chen is Guangdao, acting as the peacemaker in the middle.
"Yes, yes, I won't say anything anymore, so as not to say that I bully the juniors." Chen Shigui waved his hand, took a sip of warm wine, and suddenly remembered something, and said hurriedly: "By the way, didn't that boy just send us away?"
I’ll give you a few dozen gold coins as wine money. Let’s go to Yunzhongyun to drink some good wine. This wine is just like boiled water. I almost missed it for you.”
Chen Qing complained: "Third uncle, isn't it? I won't let go of any small fish or shrimp."
"There's no way, maybe the outcome will be determined by these dozens of gold coins in the end. Besides, your fourth uncle and I haven't had a decent drink for a long time." Chen Shigui replied, looking like he had to drink.
.
Chen Shiguang also nodded and said it was true.
"It seems that this meal of wine will not go away, but I have a condition." Chen Qing said halfway, Chen Shigui and Chen Shiguang looked at Chen Qing, as if they were all ears. Chen Qing coughed and said
: "I have to go too."
The two of them heard this and nodded quickly to express their agreement.
