One hundred and fifty-eight chapters, spending money like soil
Chapter 158, spending money like water
When You Fang was practicing his sword, Xiang Yinghua took action again. He couldn't see where she was. As the melodious chirping sound rose and fell into music, the moonlight in the forest flickered, echoing with You Fang's sword dance.
, the two of them could not tell whether it was a confrontation or a duel that lasted for about an hour. After You Fang put away his sword, the moonlight fell silently, and Xiang Yinghua did not come out of the forest, but quietly left.
The next night, Baiyun Villa was full of guests. You Fang prepared a dinner for thirty people, and a total of twenty-one people came from the Xunluan Sect. Almost all the important core disciples in the sect were present, including Zhang Xi, Zhang Liubing, and Zhang Liuhua.
The other two people are resident in Guangzhou, while the others came from all over the country after hearing the news, including Bao Min, Bao Ran, He Deqing and other three people who had arrived in Guangzhou long ago.
The two elders jointly attacked, a generation of earth masters showed up to punish the evildoers, Senior Rand held a banquet to thank them, and Fairy Moon Shadow came to congratulate them. This was not a small matter for the Xunluan sect, and it was a very honorable good thing. The inside story involved
Of course, it was impossible to publicize a major case that the police were investigating, but Zhang Xi informed all the core disciples in the sect who could.
Zhang Xi also wanted to take this opportunity to hold a party with a relaxed and convivial atmosphere. This is so important to the Xunluan sect, which has long lacked cohesion and a sense of belonging to the sect. It is different from the Xunluan sect's annual internal gatherings that seem to be in harmony but are inseparable.
The Xunluan sect as a whole showed themselves to the outside world, in front of the most outstanding, curious and admired couple of the younger generation in the world, and it was a cocktail party to thank the Xunluan sect.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If it weren't for the impoliteness of asking for help, Zhang Xi would have wished to handle it himself. What would he think if he knew that You Fang was so strapped that he borrowed money from Qi Ruoxue for this dinner party?
What Zhang Xi can think of, how could the smart little wanderer not think of it? Otherwise, he would not have arranged this. Even if it does not have to be luxurious and flamboyant, it cannot be simple and neglectful. Fortunately, the quality and environment of this place are good. There are large spaces at both ends of the first floor.
Restaurants, multi-functional halls, as well as small reception rooms, chess and card rooms, restaurants and multi-functional halls can set up small exhibition stands at any time, enough to hold various gatherings of less than fifty people.
Modern transportation is developed. We notified you yesterday afternoon that it happened to be the weekend and you could basically arrive in Guangzhou in one day. Of course, you didn’t have to go to the door on your own. Zhang Xi sent people around to meet them. At five o’clock in the afternoon, Xunluan sent two people
Eleven people worshiped the mountain collectively.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he worships the mountain. Although Meilander is young, he is the senior in name after all, and he also has the banner of Earth Master Liu Li. There is only one person in the Xunluan sect who is the same generation as You Fang, that is Zhang Xi, Bao
Hao Fengjun, the senior uncle of Min, Lu Changlin and others, this old senior uncle Hao who has a sinecure job at the Yuanchen Charity Foundation is also here today.
You Fang, who was standing in front of the villa to welcome guests, saw the acting head of the Xunluan Sect, Lu Changlin. This was a matter of honor, and almost all the core disciples of the Xunluan Sect from all over the country had arrived. He, the acting head, was nominally the head of the Xunluan Sect.
The sect leaders also had to come.
You Fang was a little surprised when he saw Lu Changlin for the first time. I heard that this man was not very old. He was only fifty-six this year. He looked to be in his fifties. His figure was slightly fat and his face was obviously round. He was dressed in a very sophisticated casual outfit.
He wore a suit without a tie. He stood upright and looked graceful when surrounded by people. He smiled when he bowed his hands and there was nothing wrong with the scene.
On external occasions, when he was introduced as Mr. Lu Changlin, the chairman of the Yuanchen Charitable Foundation, philanthropist and industrialist, no one would think there was anything wrong with it. What surprised You Fang was exactly this, the secret method of Feng Shui can bring together the spiritual hub of heaven and earth.
The energy nourishes the body and spirit. Liu Li is more than a hundred years old. His body was severely damaged in his early years. Now it seems that the energy and spirit are far from ordinary people.
Not to mention Liu Li, let’s talk about Bao Min and Zhang Xi who were present. They were about the same age as Lu Changlin, but their appearance and appearance were that of those in their thirties, but their temperament and demeanor did not look like young people. And the older man looked more mature.
Hao Fengjun, who is eighty years old, looks like an old man with his gray hair, but his energy is restrained, his skin is moist, and his inner look is purer than Lu Changlin's.
Although it is not clear what the level of Lu Changlin's secret method is, it is certain that this person has not reached the level of transferring the spiritual pivot. Theoretically speaking, as long as he masters spiritual consciousness or even spiritual awareness, he can nourish himself with the help of environmental aura, but up to
It cannot reach the realm of "continuous as if there is depth".
Although Lu Changlin was very energetic and in high spirits today, there was a trace of tiredness deep in his eyes, as if he had been drinking too much or having too many social events for days. Although it was not easy to detect, how could he hide it from You Fang's eyesight? Look at it this way
Come on, this person is taking good care of himself, at least he is in good health and has no signs of premature aging.
In fact, among the Xunluan sect, there are currently nine masters who have mastered the realm of spiritual consciousness or above, including Zhang Liubing, who has recently broken through the realm. The most interesting one is Zhang Liuhua, a guy who is not doing his job. He somehow became enlightened after returning from Songhe Valley a month ago.
, Zhang Xi was both happy and dumbfounded that he had mastered spiritual consciousness through diligent cultivation.
Zhang Xi's younger son has very good qualifications, but his behavior is too unusual. He has been practicing secret arts for so many years and he has not shown how hard he works. Zhang Xi didn't have high hopes at first, but this time it was a good surprise for him.
And Lu Changlin mastered the spiritual consciousness thirty years ago, otherwise he would not be able to become the acting leader no matter how good his background is. However, he has not broken through the realm of transferring spiritual pivots for so many years. I am afraid that the realm of secret magic in this life will only be limited.
That's it. And the various resources he enjoys and the various favorable conditions in cultivation are far beyond what ordinary disciples can compare to.
Among these nine people, there are three masters who have reached the realm of transferring spiritual hubs and above: the one with the highest cultivation level is Bao Min, who has just transformed his divine consciousness into divine thoughts; the second is Zhang Xi, who is several years older than Bao Min and is not far away from his spiritual transformation.
There is still a thin line between consciousness and spiritual thoughts, but it is difficult to break through this barrier. He usually worries about the most things; the other one is the eighty-year-old teacher uncle Hao Fengjun.
Hao Fengjun had average qualifications, but he lived a leisurely life after middle age. He didn't like to take care of things and only devoted himself to practicing Xunluan Jue. After he turned sixty, conditions and time allowed, and he was also interested in traveling around the world. When he was nearly 70 years old, he actually achieved a breakthrough in migration.
Turn to the realm of Lingshu and step into the ranks of true masters.
But Hao Fengjun's cultivation level in this life may have ended here, and it is almost impossible to advance to the next level. Although the cultivation of secret methods is different from martial arts, the older you get, the more powerful your kung fu will be. Everything depends on chance.
If you miss the golden age of physical and mental health, it will be extremely difficult to improve.
Without further ado, You Fang greets everyone one by one. In terms of appearance and demeanor, the young You doesn't have to hold his arms deliberately to have the demeanor of his seniors. When traveling around the world and opening a shed, one pays attention to appearance, not to mention that You Fang is already a transfer spiritual pivot at a young age.
He is a master in the realm, which is enough to be admired without pretending, and his knowledge and experience are also very mature.
As for Xiang Yinghua, at such a young age, he has transformed his spiritual consciousness into spiritual thoughts, and his temperament is extraordinary. The title of "Moon Shadow Fairy" is not given to him for nothing.
It was still dark when everyone arrived, and it was the time of day when the lakes and mountains were most beautiful here. The service staff had already placed leisure tables, chairs and various refreshments on the grass platform in front of the villa. Everyone was drinking tea and chatting here, admiring the suburbs of Guangzhou.
The famous landscape - "White clouds looking at the evening".
This villa is not only high-end, but also has a very good environment for practitioners of secret arts. The scenery of Xiaqi Mountain is pleasant, and when the conversation was getting intense, the head manager came over and politely informed everyone that the banquet was ready. You can
Take your seat.
Twenty-one guests were sent by Xunluan, plus the host You Fang, and three distinguished guests from Songhegu, Xiang Yinghua, Xiang Yuhua, and Wan Shukuang, a total of twenty-five people.
What is prepared in the restaurant is a large banquet round table for fifteen people, with two seats arranged side by side. There are three waiters around each table, who are responsible for serving food, organizing dishes at any time, pouring wine, etc. Along the floor-to-ceiling windows on the south side, there are
There is a bar with a variety of wines, desserts, and fruits. When a certain time comes, the banquet can be removed, and everyone can sit or stand, chatting and drinking by themselves.
You Fang was at the main table, and of course "Mr. Rand" sat at the main table. After some refusals and humility, Xiang Yinghua sat on the right side of You Fang, and to the right was Wan Shukuang and his wife. Lu Changlin, as
The acting head of the Xunluan faction is sitting on the left hand side of You Fang. Turning to the left, there are Hao Fengjun, Zhang Xi, Bao Min, and Zhang Liubing, He Deqing, Zhang Liuhua, Bao Ran, etc. who participated in setting up the game yesterday. There are a total of people at this table.
Twelve people were seated.
When everyone walked into the banquet hall, they were all attracted to the exhibition stand on the east side of the hall at first sight. A transparent plexiglass double-layer shelf was placed in the center of the front of the booth. There were three Fiery Gold Stones on the upper floor, and four crystals on the lower floor.
Stone. One on the left and one on the right is a pair of very beautiful rose crystals in the shape of a five-pointed star crystal. They are also a fragrant flower stone with wavy petal patterns inside.
On the left side of the center is a swallow-tailed double amethyst, while on the right side is not an ordinary crystal, but an unusually delicate and compact clustered crystal tree that is half a foot tall.
This kind of clustered crystal tree with multiple types of mineral crystals can be used as a collection of handicrafts. The probability of becoming a secret crystal stone is too low! It requires that each crystal gathered together has physical properties that can be used by the secret method, and when mining
It cannot be destroyed. The largest one you have ever seen is of course the two-person-tall Nine-nine Return One Cluster Crystal Tree in Songhe Valley, and it has been spiritually refined and pure for hundreds of years in the Tianji Formation. It is a rare treasure in the world.
.
As for this one, of course it cannot be compared with it at all, but as a rare secret cluster crystal tree, its value is no less than that of a single Fierce Gold Stone. This was not "picked" in Chenzhou, but left by You Fang
After Songhe Valley, I was riding a broken motorcycle to Rucheng to take a hot spring bath, and accidentally discovered it in a craft gift shop.
He had a lot of crystals. He collected fifty-four crystals for the first time, seventeen for the second time, and Songhegu sent eight crystals to his family. He himself gave them to Tu Su, Xie Xiaoxian, Qi Ruoxue, and Xiang Jia.
One of each Yinghua was sold, and ten of them were damaged in the battle. There are currently sixty-four left, including the three Fierce Gold Stones and the two Realgar Stones that will be sold.
But among them, there is only one Cumulus Crystal Tree, and it was taken out and placed here today.
Under the spotlights above the booth, the light of these seven crystals is dazzling, and what is even more strange is that the glow reflected by the four crystals below seems to be supporting the three golden stones above with flowing dark gold luster.
, bright and eye-catching and with a sense of layering.
Of course, Zhang Xi and Bao Min recognized that the three golden stones were gifts from Liu Li. Senior Rand had already accepted them before they had time to refuse. What happened to the other four crystal stones? They couldn't help but look at them.
The three of them took a look at each other. Could it be that they were brought out by the guests of the Xiang family just to set off the three golden stones? Well, the effect is great!
Wan Shukuang and Xiang Yuhua were also surprised. They glanced at Xiang Yinghua secretly, thinking that she had taken it out. They didn't know what the purpose was, and it was hard to ask in this situation. Xiang Yinghua himself was also surprised.
She was the only one who knew that this was done by You Fang himself, but she couldn't take the initiative to explain anything unless others asked.
After sitting down for a toast, there was no need to elaborate on the words of thanks and admiration. After about half an hour, when the wine was full, You Fang dismissed all the service staff with a wave of his hand, and the door with good sound insulation effect was also closed. Everyone stood together.
Seeing this scene, I knew there was a program and everyone became quiet.
Sure enough, You Fang got up from the table, strolled to the booth, clasped his fists to everyone and said: "You must have heard about the Diezhang sect's worship of Elder Qianbei and the execution of Li Dongping for rebellion in the sect. Rand was fortunate enough to be present at the time and
After trying my best, Earth Master Liu Li showed up yesterday, and I just realized that when Li Dongping was fleeing overseas, he had already formed a party with the scum of the Wuchong Sect.
The Wuchong sect's successors are innocent, but their children are incompetent, and even suffer the disaster of annihilation. The surviving descendants do not want to repent and restore the orthodox sect, but instead travel overseas to form gangs and perpetuate evil. In recent years, they have committed tomb robbing, smuggling, assassinations, etc. in the mainland.
Many major cases. The remnants of the Tang Dynasty and the pursuit of Li Dongping sneaked into Guangzhou in an attempt to assassinate me.
Fairy Yueying had extraordinary cultivation and arrived in time. Tang Chao and Luohuang fled in panic, but their evil intentions did not die. They still led their gang members to spy on their evil intentions. The high disciples of the Xunluan sect were righteous and did not allow evil to flourish. Zhang Xi and Bao Min were
An elder led his disciples to set up an ambush in Guangzhou, which coincided with the contemporary earth master's move to kill the murderer. Tang Chaohe and his gang members were ambushed and killed.
Senior Liu Li, the divine dragon, appeared and presented three golden stones as a farewell gift to praise the Xunluan sect and the two elders for their righteous deeds. Rand did not dare to neglect, and specially held a banquet here to invite us, so as to fulfill his perfect wish!"
Everyone present basically knew what happened, but You Fang's words were beautiful. On the surface, he didn't even mention the word "thank you", but he praised the Xunluan sect so much that he felt comfortable. After saying this, You Fang picked up a
A piece of golden stone, stimulated by spiritual consciousness, produces countless rays of light that are thinner than the tip of a needle. How beautiful it is under the light!
He smiled again and said: "Master Lu, please come forward, please two elders. This is Senior Liu Li's kind wish, and Rand is honored to pass it on."
At this time, a very unexpected situation occurred. Lu Changlin stood up, walked to you and saluted with clasped fists, and said very humbly: "Thank you, Senior Liu Li, for your kindness, and thank you, Mr. Rand, for your trouble. Mr. Lu deserves it!"
After saying this, he bowed and extended his hand respectfully, ready to receive it.
What's going on? There was a misunderstanding! What You Fang said was "Master Lu, please come forward, two elders", which was out of normal etiquette for such an occasion. But Lu Changlin heard it as "Master Lu, please!"
"Two elders come forward." He thought he was the first.
This can't be blamed on You Fang's mistake, but on Lu Changlin's own taking for granted. No matter how clear You Fang's words are, he must have heard it wrong. You Fang just said that Liu Li "presented three Fierce Gold Stones to praise the Xunluan Sect and the two of them."
"A righteous deed by the elders", I didn't mention it for the sake of modesty, but the "two elders" emphasized it very clearly.
But when Lu Changlin heard this, he took it for granted that the two elders had something to do with his acting head - the Xunluan sect "and" the two elders, didn't he represent the Xunluan sect? Although Liejin Stone is valuable, but
Lu Changlin's net worth is not too impressive. The most important thing is his status and glory.
Zhang Xi and Bao Min had clearly explained what happened before they came, but they did not mention the Lijin Stone. On the one hand, they were embarrassed to brag about it, and on the other hand, Senior Rand took the crystal away alone. Although they could think of
This is a gift in public, but if Senior Rand didn't do this, wouldn't it be embarrassing? It would be better to just let nature take its course.
You Fang did not expect this scene, and secretly thought to himself that this Lu Changlin had not done anything, but he really had the nerve to be "modest" in front of the two elders!
But his hand only paused for a moment, and the smile on his face did not show any obvious abnormality. He continued: "Why should Master Lu be so modest? This is not a personal gift to you, but a righteous act by the Xunluan Sect.
A testimony." Then he naturally handed the fierce gold stone to Lu Changlin.
Zhang Xi and Bao Min had already stood up, looking very embarrassed or even ashamed. Fortunately, in such an occasion that requires humility, others didn't think it was too unusual.
Bao Min hesitated to speak. Zhang Xi secretly tugged on his sleeve and signaled him with his eyes not to say anything. This was already the case. If he told the truth again, in front of Comrade Songhegu, the entire Xunluan would be destroyed.
Paidu had to follow Lu Changlin to embarrass himself! Fortunately, Senior Rand was open-minded and adaptable to changes, so he didn't mess up a very good situation.
The two elders said they were ashamed when they took the crystal, and looked at You Fang with silent admiration, apology and gratitude.
After this, You Fang did not return to the table. He once again clasped his fists and raised his hands to everyone present, then pointed at the remaining four crystals and said: "It was Senior Liu Li's kind intention, but this murderous move, not only
The two elders acted righteously, and several young talents from Xunluan sent to help. Senior Liu left gifts to witness the righteous deed, and Rand should also sincerely thank him. Four colleagues, Zhang Liubing, He Deqing, Zhang Liuhua, and Bao Ran,
Please don’t refuse!”
It turns out that these four crystals were taken out by Senior Rand himself and were given to the four juniors as a meeting gift and to express his gratitude. It was quite wild and bold, and it was completely in line with the reputation he had spread in Songhe Valley.
The headmaster and the two elders have accepted the gift from Senior Liu Li. Although they cannot refuse the kindness because Liu Li has left, the four juniors also cannot refuse the kindness of Senior Rand under such circumstances. Otherwise, not only
It doesn't give them face, and it also makes it difficult for them to step down.
Besides, this is a good thing that is both affordable and beautiful. After being embarrassed and polite, the four of them were very happy and even very excited to accept the gift. They did not expect this before coming to drink, and they were simply overjoyed.
