However, Lv Fangzhen didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing. Obviously, Xiao Chen didn't tell the Cheng family about him, so Lv Fangzhen didn't want to get involved. He just said lightly, "The Cheng family is too arrogant."
"I think so too!" Apothecary Sun nodded in agreement and said flatteringly, "In the future, I won't sell the pills and medicines I refine to the Cheng family!"
"That's not necessary. We're doing business, so there's no need to be ruthless." Lv Fangzhen waved his hand. Originally, he wanted to punish the Cheng family, but considering the complicated relationship between Xiao Chen and the Cheng family, he didn't intervene.
"Yes, Apothecary Sun, you're right. I understand." Apothecary Sun nodded quickly.
"Little Shen, are you also a member of the Songning family?" Lv Fangzhen glanced at Shen Zhenghao, who was driving, and asked. He knew Shen Zhenghao's mind very well, but Lv Fangzhen wouldn't promise him anything. After all, it was impossible to get close to him just because of a car ride. That was unrealistic.
"I'm a member of the Shen Family of Xiwu Province." Shen Zhenghao replied quickly. He had been looking for an opportunity to talk to Lv Fangzhen, but he didn't get it. Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally wouldn't let it go. "I'm developing my own business in Songning City. Elder Lv, why did you come to Songning City this time?"
"Oh, I'm just walking around." Lv Fangzhen said, "I know about the Shen Family of Xiwu Province. I've seen your family's Shen Changlong. He had some problems with his cultivation, and I helped him with the medicine."
Shen Zhenghao said quickly, "Ah, it turns out that you're the savior of Second Grandpa. I thank you on his behalf!"
"If you need any elixirs in the future, you can ask Little Sun to take care of you." Lv Fangzhen said lightly, which was also a promise to thank Shen Zhenghao for his hospitality.
As for asking Shen Zhenghao to look for him, it was impossible. What kind of status did Lv Fangzhen have? Even if the Shen Family of Xiwu Province wanted to look for him, it was not easy to meet them.
"Alright, thank you, Old Lu!" Shen Zhenghao said gratefully, but in his heart, he was a little disappointed. Medicine Master Sun's level was limited, and the pills and medicines he could make were not lacking in the Shen Family. Although it was not a bad thing to have a good relationship with Medicine Master Sun, the help he could provide was limited.
Of course, Shen Zhenghao didn't think that Lv Fangzhen would give him anything in return. That wasn't realistic. He just wanted to get familiar with Lv Fangzhen and see if there was a chance to get closer to Lv Fangzhen in the future. If he could let his son, Shen Jingmao, get to know Lv Fangzhen, then Shen Jingmao would have one more bargaining chip in the competition for the position of Young Master!
However, there was a limit to how much they could get to know each other. At the very least, Lv Fangzhen could be invited to some activities of the Shen Family, and it would be best for Shen Jingmao to be apprenticed to Lv Fangzhen. Even if Shen Jingmao became Lv Fangzhen's nominal disciple, it would be of great benefit.
However, Shen Zhenghao could not help but smile bitterly. What kind of status did Lv Fangzhen have? Why help him? And Lv Fangzhen had nothing to ask of Shen Zhenghao.
When they arrived at the Warrior's Market, Lv Fangzhen and Medicine Master Sun got out of the car and left. Although Lv Fangzhen nodded to Shen Zhenghao with a smile when he got out of the car, Shen Zhenghao knew that it would be difficult to see Lv Fangzhen in the future if there was no opportunity!
With a sigh, he drove back to the manor of the Cheng family …
In the collection room of the Cheng family, Cheng Mengqiang pointed at an ancient jade proudly and said, "This is a waist token used by a famous national general of the Great Xia Dynasty in ancient times. It is very memorable. Look, it says' national general of the Great Xia Dynasty '!"
Xiao Chen's expression changed slightly. This is an ancient jade? I just need it. How can I get it?
"Isn't it just an ancient jade? What's there to show off?" Qi Zhigao curled his lips and said disdainfully. Qi Zhigao had long been unhappy with his rival in love. In front of Xiao Xiao, Qi Zhigao acted like a rich, rich, and handsome man, as if the Cheng family was the most superior family.
"Isn't it just an ancient jade? I say, Qi Zhigao, have you seen an ancient jade before? Let's not talk about other things. With the heritage of your family, even if you have an ancient jade, it can't be used by these famous people! "Cheng Mengqiang said.
"Indeed, my family doesn't have it. Moreover, I have never seen such a valuable ancient jade!" Xiao Chen suddenly said at this time.
"Huh?" Cheng Mengqiang was stunned and looked at Xiao Chen in astonishment. He didn't expect that Xiao Chen would expose his shortcomings. Could it be that he had become stupid after being a follower of his sister recently? That he had begun to have servility in him?
Qi Zhigao was also a little puzzled. What did Xiao Chen mean? However, he couldn't admit his relationship with Xiao Chen in public, so he didn't show it.
Xiao Xiao also frowned slightly. She really didn't expect that Xiao Chen would say such a thing. Wasn't this boosting the morale of others and diminishing his own prestige? Even if he wasn't a member of the Xiao family now, his words still represented the Xiao family …
"Can you show it to me?" Xiao Chen didn't feel ashamed and continued to ask.
"Okay, then I will show it to you!" Cheng Mengqiang's self-esteem was greatly satisfied. Seeing that Xiao Chen was so inexperienced, his anger at the door also dissipated a little. He handed the waist tag of the ancient jade to Xiao Chen and said, "Take a good look at it. As a poor guy, this is probably the only time you can see it in your life."
"Yes, yes! I have a good understanding of ancient jade, but I don't usually see ancient jade! " Xiao Chen nodded. He carefully took the ancient jade and looked at it. However, he was thinking about how he could take it for himself.
Jin Beibei glanced at Xiao Chen and grinned, which made Cheng Mengqiang feel weird. Why did this little devil smile for no reason?
Shen Jingxuan didn't think that Xiao Chen was inexperienced. However, she also knew that Xiao Chen had been collecting ancient jade recently. She always felt that Xiao Chen was going to trick Cheng Mengqiang! However, although she and Cheng Mengying were best friends, she had nothing to do with Cheng Mengqiang. Besides, the relationship between her and Xiao Chen was almost unparalleled.
However, Cao Yuliang didn't think that Xiao Chen was inexperienced. Xiao Chen had just won two pieces of ancient jade from Li Shanying. How could he not have seen ancient jade? However, he didn't know what Xiao Chen was going to do. He wanted to remind Cheng Mengqiang, but he didn't know how to say it.
"Idiot, just use the mental cultivation method and absorb all the Spiritual Qi in the ancient jade. Anyway, it's such a small piece. It will be finished in a short while! This is much worse than your previous jade pendant. "While Xiao Chen was thinking, he heard Elder Heaven Ancestor's black-bellied reminder!
"Yes!" Xiao Chen said, "But can it be finished in such a short time? The jade ring I got later also couldn't be finished in a short time, right? "
"At that time, you were already at the peak of the fourth level of the Qi Refining Stage. If you wanted to break through, you didn't have enough Spiritual Qi. So, you had an opportunity to break through." Elder Heaven Ancestor explained, "But now you have just consolidated the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage. There is still a long way to go before you reach the peak of the fifth level. Even if you absorb all the Spiritual Qi, it won't be enough!"
"Oh, oh, oh!" Xiao Chen responded in his heart. He quickly used the mental cultivation method and secretly absorbed the Spiritual Qi in the ancient jade. It was really cool and exciting to be a thief.
On the surface, Xiao Chen was studying it very seriously, like a country bumpkin. Cheng Mengqiang was also happy to embarrass him. Anyway, the ancient jade was not bad, so he could look at it if he wanted to. Then he began to introduce other collections of the Cheng family.
Just as Elder Heaven Ancestor said, the Spiritual Qi in the ancient jade was not very much. Xiao Chen absorbed it for more than ten minutes. He felt that his strength was improving at a very fast speed. Although there was still a long way to go before he reached the peak of the fifth level of the Qi Refining Stage, he was already much stronger than before. At least now, he should be able to defeat a warrior with the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage.
Just as Xiao Chen wanted to continue absorbing, Elder Heaven Ancestor suddenly stopped Xiao Chen, "Stop!"
"Huh?" Xiao Chen was startled and quickly stopped the circulation of the mental cultivation method. Then, he asked doubtfully, "What's wrong? Elder Heaven Ancestor, is there something wrong? "
"No, but if you continue to absorb, the ancient jade will break, and you will end up like the jade before." Elder Heaven Ancestor reminded.
"Oh?" Xiao Chen was shocked. If the ancient jade was broken in Xiao Chen's hands, then Xiao Chen would not be able to explain. But if … Thinking of this, Xiao Chen's mouth curved into a faint smile.
"Hey, have you finished looking?" Cheng Mengqiang shouted at Xiao Chen.
"Ah, I have finished looking … But, this ancient jade seems to be fake?" Xiao Chen said weakly.
"Fake? What kind of look are you giving me? " Cheng Mengqiang was stunned. He stared at Xiao Chen, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. This is the Cheng family's treasure. This is a very rare waist jade. On the battlefield, it can't be broken by a spear. How could it be fake?"
"Oh, I have said before that I am very knowledgeable about ancient jade. This must be fake. You have been tricked." Xiao Chen said.
"Xiao Chen, don't say that the grapes are sour!" Cheng Mengqiang sneered, "What? If this jade is real, then later at the banquet, you will kneel and apologize to me. How about saying that you have eyes but cannot see?"
Destroying Xiao Chen's reputation was one of Cheng Mengqiang's wishes. If Xiao Chen did such a thing, then he would never be able to return to the Xiao family, and he would never be able to reconcile with Cheng Mengying.
"Oh, what if it is fake?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Fake? If it is fake, then I will give it to you! "Cheng Mengqiang snorted.
"If it is fake, then you will give it to me? Are you sick? Was your head smashed by this jade before? Why would I want it if it is fake? It is not worth a penny. I will feel that it takes up space even if you give it to me for free. "Xiao Chen curled his lips and said.
"Then what do you say?" Cheng Mengqiang was not angry at this moment. He just asked. As long as Xiao Chen agreed, then he could humiliate him.
"If I win, then you will give me a real ancient jade." Xiao Chen said. Making a bet in front of so many aristocratic families, he was not afraid that someone would not admit it later. This was also what Cheng Mengqiang valued.
