"So, you admit that Xiao Chen is your cousin-in-law!" Jin Beibei said mischievously, "Did you spill it on your chest? Did he wipe it off for you? "
Cheng Mengying didn't explain that he was her cousin-in-law. She only said, "He rubbed it. That's why I kicked him subconsciously."
"Hehe. That explains a lot!" Jin Beibei rolled her big, mischievous eyes and confirmed something in her mind.
"What are you talking about? Beibei, where are you now?" Cheng Mengying was very anxious. She felt that Beibei thought she was joking. In fact, Xiao Chen was really going to die!
"I'll be there soon," Jin Beibei said.
"Okay. I'll wait for you," Cheng Mengying said.
As expected, after a short while, the sound of a car came from the yard of the villa. Then, the sound of the door opening and people going upstairs could be heard.
Jin Beibei had the key to the villa. Therefore, she ran all the way to Cheng Mengying's room.
"Cousin Mengying, I'm here!" Jin Beibei said in relief when she saw Xiao Chen on the ground the moment she entered the room.
"Beibei, have you brought the Life-prolonging Pill I asked you to?" Cheng Mengying asked.
"Yes. However, I have a unique skill to treat my cousin-in-law!" Jin Beibei glanced at Xiao Chen and said mischievously.
"Unique skill?" Cheng Mengying was confused. "What unique skill?"
"Cousin-in-law, here comes Beibei's boob push!" As Jin Beibei spoke, she was about to lie on Xiao Chen's body!
"Hey, Beibei, what's wrong with you? Xiao Chen is already dying. If you press him like this, won't he be crushed to death?" Cheng Mengying grabbed Jin Beibei and stopped her from hitting Xiao Chen.
"Don't worry, Cousin Mengying." Jin Beibei said with a smile, "Cousin-in-law, I'm here!"
"No!" Helpless, Xiao Chen had no choice but to get up from the ground. Although Jin Beibei's words sounded cool … Master Jin was looking for a son-in-law. If he took advantage of Jin Beibei, the unreasonable Gold Fur Lion King would definitely force him to take responsibility. Then, he would be screwed!
Although Xiao Chen had taken a liking to Jin Beibei recently … he could not marry her just because he liked her. Wouldn't that be giving up the whole forest for a flower?
Under Cheng Mengying's astonished gaze, Xiao Chen jumped up from the ground and quickly slipped towards the door. "Aiya, I seemed to have fallen asleep just now. My head is so dizzy. What happened? Why can't I remember anything? Sigh, what am I doing here … "
After saying that, Xiao Chen pushed the door open and slipped away, leaving Cheng Mengying, who was dumbfounded, and Jin Beibei, who was smiling in understanding.
"Xiao Chen, come back here right now!" Cheng Mengying suddenly realized that she had been fooled by Xiao Chen. Then, when she said that she could touch Xiao Chen as long as he came back to life, didn't he hear it, too?
I'm so angry. How dare you fool me and play dead after touching me? Hehe. Do you think I'm a pushover?
"Alright, Cousin Mengying, it was just an accident. Besides, I played dead because he cared about you. If it were somebody else, he would have touched you. Why would he be so scared of your anger?" Jin Beibei, however, said.
"Is that so?" Cheng Mengying was somewhat happy to hear that Xiao Chen cared about her. Hehe. You finally know how good I am … Touch me! Let's see if you can still flirt with other women!
Jin Beibei nodded. "Yes. Chances are that my cousin-in-law will ask to remarry me after he returns to the Xiao family!"
"Hehe. If he wants to remarry me, he can do it. I haven't agreed to it yet!" Cheng Mengying snorted. She couldn't help but feel proud. If Xiao Chen asked her to remarry him, it would be a great honor for him. He didn't know how to cherish it before!
"Be careful not to let Tang Tang take advantage of it," Jin Beibei reminded her.
"What about you?" Cheng Mengying suddenly asked, "Don't you like Xiao Chen, too?"
"Me? Cousin Mengying, you can just let me have some soup. I just like to hang out with my cousin-in-law. He suits my taste!" In fact, Jin Beibei was mainly with Xiao Chen for fun.
"Screw you. You want to be his concubine?" Cheng Mengying rolled her eyes at Jin Beibei.
"Cousin Mengying, you can't be so stingy, right? You don't even want to share your best sister and best friend?" Jin Beibei said with a smile.
"Suit yourself. But I haven't promised Xiao Chen yet. I don't like him at all. I hate him more than anything. So, you don't have a chance!" Cheng Mengying said with a smile.
It was getting late. Jin Beibei decided not to go back after coming here. They chatted and laughed for a while and then went to bed, ready to sleep.
Xiao Chen, on the other hand, sneaked back to his room quickly and started decocting the medicinal materials. Today was the last course of treatment for this medicine. He would go to buy more medicine tomorrow. However, Xiao Chen still had more than two million left from last time. Together with the ten million that Concubine Xie gave him, he had more than enough money to buy the medicinal materials. There was no need to worry about it.
However, he had not made a breakthrough after such a long time. Xiao Chen was a bit worried about the Old Witch of West Mountain who was about to fight with him. He had thought that he could make a breakthrough to the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage, but now it seemed that his wish was a bit slim.
After the medicinal materials were decocted properly, Xiao Chen took them and started to practice. However, the result was still regrettable. He still did not make a breakthrough!
This made Xiao Chen disappointed, but at the same time, he was also a little puzzled. Could it be that there was something wrong with his cultivation? Why was it that he could break through very quickly in the past, but only when he was between the fourth and fifth layer of the Qi Refining Stage, he could not break through?
He had taken several sets of medicinal materials! If it was in the past, he should have made a breakthrough long ago, right?
After exercising and sweating, Xiao Chen did not make a breakthrough, so he went to the bathroom to take a shower. However, when Xiao Chen was applying bath lotion on his body, Xiao Chen's hand inadvertently scratched a jade pendant worn on his neck. The jade pendant actually fell from the red string. Moreover, when Xiao Chen pressed it, it broke into pieces!
Xiao Chen was suddenly stunned. What is this situation? This jade pendant was a very good piece of top-quality jade. When Xiao Chen was young, Second Uncle brought it back when he went out to perform a trial mission. Since then, Xiao Chen had been wearing it.
Although there was no practical commemorative significance, he heard that a good jade pendant was good for the body. So, Xiao Chen had never taken it off.
However, how could such a high-quality jade pendant fall to the ground and break into pieces with just a light pressure? How is this possible?
Could it be that Cheng Mengying kicked or sat on it before and broke it? Or Shen Jingxuan sat on it and broke it? Xiao Chen realized that these pretty girls all liked to sit on people's seats.
Of course, Xiao Chen was just thinking about it casually. It was impossible for them to break it. The jade pendant was hard. It was impossible for them to break it with their strength.
Even if this jade pendant did not have any commemorative value, Xiao Chen still felt a little heartache when an expensive jade pendant was broken. If this jade pendant were to be sold, it would fetch at least a few million.
"Spiritual jade?" In Xiao Chen's ears, there was suddenly a surprised voice from Elder Heaven Ancestor, "You actually have spiritual jade?"
"Spiritual jade? What is that? "Xiao Chen was slightly startled and asked.
"The formation of jade is very complicated. However, from the perspective of cultivation, it can be said that jade is nurtured by the essence of heaven and earth for thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of millions of years. The longer the time, the more spiritual energy in the jade. This kind of jade with high spiritual energy is called spiritual jade!" Elder Heaven Ancestor did not hide it and explained directly, "Nowadays, most of the time of formation of jade is relatively short. The amount of spiritual energy in the jade is too little, so it can only be called ordinary jade."
"Then this jade pendant of mine is spiritual jade?" Xiao Chen roughly understood what Elder Heaven Ancestor meant.
"Yes, now I finally understand why your cultivation speed is so fast!" Elder Sky said, "Even if you are a genius and have a special mantra, it is impossible for you to cultivate so fast. Now it is easy to explain. That is, you have spirit jades on you. Spirit jades are the best materials to assist in cultivation. Cultivators can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from them and transform it into their own energy, which is commonly known as true qi."
"Then my cultivation speed has slowed down recently because … the energy in the spiritual jade has been used up?" Xiao Chen was a little depressed. Previously, he thought that he was a genius that only appeared once in ten thousand years. In the end, it turned out that it was because he had the spiritual jade to help him cultivate. Now that the spiritual energy in the jade had been used up, he could not continue to break through …
"It is like this." Elder Heaven Ancestor said with certainty, "However, even with the help of the spiritual jade, your cultivation speed is still fast enough. You do not need to be disappointed."
"Alright, then what should I do next? Get another spiritual jade? "After listening to Elder Heaven Ancestor's advice, Xiao Chen was full of confidence.
"Where?" Elder Heaven Ancestor asked.
"Jewelry, auction!" Xiao Chen said, "As long as the quality and appearance of the jade are of the highest quality, it will be fine."
"Yes, but spiritual jade is something that can only be found by chance. It does not necessarily have to be of good quality. Good appearance jade is spiritual jade, but spiritual jade must have good quality and good appearance!" Elder Sky said, "The jade that has been formed for a short period of time may also be of good quality, and the jade produced in the same mining area may not be formed in the same era, so this thing is almost the same as trying to get lucky."
Xiao Chen was slightly surprised and asked, "That is similar. How do I distinguish it?"
"Use your hands." Elder Sky said, "With your current strength, you won't be able to distinguish it with your eyes and perception. You can only use your hands to sense if there is Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi inside. This is a cultivator's instinct. I don't need to teach you. You'll know when you try."
"So that is the case. Then I will go research and buy some spiritual jade tomorrow." Xiao Chen found his bottleneck and was very happy. If he had enough spiritual jade, would he be able to quickly upgrade?
