Since the night of "The Wind Rolls the Jade on the River", the Ye family has been crowded with people seeking to see the real Yufeng.
Zhou Jing met with people from all walks of life every day, and roughly figured out the situation of the upper class in Ning Tianfu.
Ningtian Mansion, as the auxiliary capital of Daxia, has a long history and many clansmen. The powerful and powerful living here are divided into several categories.
The first is the aristocratic family that has lasted for hundreds of years. Their ancestors had various high officials, and they had been in power in different dynasties. These aristocratic clans, in the process of Da Xia Taizu's determination to found the country, sent the elites of the family to make bets before and after, and Da Xia Taizu naturally would not refuse to help, so the clan clans shared the credit, and they were able to continue after the change of dynasties. There are many children in the family. Entered the dynasty as officials, and even some of them were imperial relatives, and they ruled the world together.
The second category is that after the founding nobles who followed the Great Xia Taizu to conquer the world, this Hou and that Uncle are shadowed by their ancestors, and there are also officials in the family, who are also prominent.
The third category is some upstart families, most of which are new families that have been inherited after some underprivileged officials have been in power for a hundred years.
Zhao Xing'an, the prefect of Ningtian, was one of them. He didn't come from an aristocratic family, and he was a poor family a few generations ago. And he was admitted to the court and became an official, and he climbed to the position of the prefect of Ningtian step by step, so that the Zhao family could prosper again.
It's just that the power of this type of upstart family is mostly tied to the head of the family, and the descendants are temporarily absent. Once the head of the family loses power, the family may soon decline. Compared with the stable family family or the founding of the country, there is still a big gap. Only by operating for a few more generations, spreading branches and spreading leaves, having descendants entering the dynasty as officials, accumulating family prestige, and gaining a firm foothold, can we gradually turn into an aristocratic family that is too big to fail.
These three types of prominent families are the top dignitaries in Ningtian Mansion. Although they live here, their power is not limited to the local area. In addition to this, there are also former courtiers who are serving for retirement, cultural celebrities, etc. in Ningtian Mansion. The situation can be described as quite complicated.
One of the more special dignitaries is the royal clan who lives in Ningtian Mansion. Although they are the most distinguished, they are usually low-key and generally do not provoke others, and no one dares to provoke them, not even those who flatter them. There are too many, but once they show up, no one dares to ignore them, and there is a sense of detachment.
After some experience, Zhou Jing realized more and more that this was a huge network of intertwined interests, which seemed invisible to ordinary people.
In contrast, a wealthy businessman like the Ye family really couldn't rank in this Ningtian Mansion.
The water is deep here.
But fortunately, these wealthy clans considered him to be an expert in the world, and were intimidated by his miraculous means.
Especially the aristocratic families who have successfully obtained the medicinal pill, who have experienced the magical effect of the medicinal pill, are even more convinced and support it more and more.
Nowadays, no one calls him Lingfengzi anymore, thinking that it is not respectful to call him by his name, and now he is directly called Master Yufeng.
In response to the needs of these wealthy families, Zhou Jing developed two new medicinal recipes.
One is Qingliang Pill, which is taken when the summer heat is dry and hot, it will be cool and transparent from the inside out, and the whole body will be light and light. Although it is still spring, but the summer in Ningtian Prefecture is hot, the wealthy people are used to making preparations early. popular.
The other is the Longevity Pill, which can be used to nourish the body of the elderly, become healthier, and achieve the effect of prolonging life. This elixir is the focus of the purchase of the noble family. However, Zhou Jing strictly controlled the production and claimed that this elixir was extremely difficult to refine. With a price and no market, the major wealthy families are eager to see.
Moreover, Zhou Jing also deliberately claimed that this kind of longevity pill is just an introduction. The pill that can really prolong life by a large margin is called "Zifu Longevity Pill". It can be refined, but it also takes a lot of hard work and time, and it cannot be refined for the time being.
He is well aware of the importance of expectations, so he took out this big pie and swayed the appetite of these wealthy families.
As for whether the "Purple Palace Longevity Pill" exists... It doesn't matter whether you can refine it or not, as long as everyone is willing to believe it, it is true.
It's a pity to maintain the image of an expert, otherwise Zhou Jing really wants to pick up his old business and come out on the whole point of "Golden Spear Don't Fall" and "Dragon and Tiger Crossing Pills", it will be popular all over the world, and let these wealthy people know the taste of the essence, never again. Can't leave.
…
this day.
In the Ye family's living room, Zhou Jing was meeting a family member of Liu's family, but this man was Liu Ping's father, and he brought his son here to make amends.
In fact, it was the third time that the Liu family had sent the invitation to see him, but the first two times Zhou Jing had been behind closed doors and had not seen him.
The servants came in with a few boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and Liu Ping's father and his son followed.
Liu Ping's father kept his posture quite low, and he didn't dare to sit down.
"A few days ago, Ping'er made no statement and offended the real Yufeng. It was because of my lack of discipline. Today, I brought my dog to visit the real person, apologized for the incident that day, and prepared some small gifts as an apology. , I also hope that the Taoist priest will ignore the past suspicions, my Liu family has admired the real person for a long time, and I just want to form a good relationship with the real person..."
He said a good word, full of flattery, then turned his head and shouted at Liu Ping:
"Ping'er, why don't you kneel down and apologize to the Taoist priest
With a thud, Liu Ping knelt down without hesitation, as if he was worshiping a god in a Taoist temple, bowed his head and said in panic:
"I don't know immortals face to face, and I have eyes but no pearls. I really know I'm wrong. I hope the real person will spare me once. In the future, if the real person has orders, I will die!"
Zhou Jing sat on his seat, received a salute, and then raised his hand slightly, with a sullen tone:
"There are some small things, don't need to mention them, Pindao has long ignored them."
The two of them were apprehensive and their palms were full of sweat. After listening to this sentence, they were truly relieved, knowing that this hurdle was finally over.
The first two times I had a closed door, but today I was finally allowed to meet. The clan elders all spoke up, saying that they caused trouble and ruined the chance to make friends with high-ranking people.
Liu Ping and his son were excited and flattered for a while. Seeing Zhou Jing lifted the tea bowl and took a sip, he immediately said goodbye and left a few boxes of belongings.
The servants of the Ye family immediately came in, took away the belongings and sent them to Zhou Jing's yard.
Zhou Jing picked up the gift list and glanced at it, then pouted:
"This Liu family is really generous, and it seems to be sincere."
In fact, he had no opinion on Liu Ping. Seeing that the Liu family came to the door with sincerity, he let the other party go. After all, it was just a quarrel, and he didn't plan to do too much.
In recent days, there have been too many people giving gifts, and none of the dignitaries in Ningtian Mansion came empty-handed. He had already saved hundreds of dandruff, and the yard he lived in could not be put down, so the Ye family quickly vacated a new courtyard. , dedicated to Zhou Jing as a warehouse.
Among these gifts, gold and silver alone are wealth that ordinary people cannot earn in ten lifetimes, not to mention luxury items such as jewelry, jade, and antiques.
There is currently no place to spend money here, but Zhou Jing does not refuse to accumulate wealth, save it first, anyway, it is the money of the tyrants, and the silver is sent to him in a load of white flowers, and the speed of accumulating wealth is like running water.
It just so happens that Chen Feng is going to have a rebellion in the future. When he saves enough start-up funds in the future, he will create an opportunity for him to "steal it away"... It's just that these aristocratic families are indirectly sponsoring the "aspiring youth".
Zhou Jing put down the gift list, ready to see what other posts worth seeing.
At this time, the Grand Duke of Ye's family came tremblingly on crutches, and was followed by a servant.
Seeing this, Zhou Jing put down the post of worship and got up. He smiled and said, "Old lady, are you feeling better recently?"
"Thanks to the real person, the life of an old man is considered to be back from the gate of hell."
Ye Taigong was happy, a little breathless, but his complexion was slightly better than the previous days.
After the evil spirits on his body were expelled, he took Yuchun Dan every day to strengthen his foundation, and Zhang Jinduan carefully illuminated him to recuperate his body. Now he can walk on the ground.
After a little greeting, the two sat down again.
Ye Taigong spoke immediately, with a grateful tone: "Real Master Yufeng saved the old man's life. This kindness will be remembered by the old man for five years. When my body is better, I will give thanks."
Zhou Jing nodded and smiled: "The old lady met me when she was critically ill. She should not die.
Ye Taigong shook his head: "The real person moves according to the situation, this free and easy attitude is heartbreaking, but the old man can't take it for granted. I have already ordered that from now on, all the Ye family members must regard the real person as a writer. Seniors, work hard for the real person, don't have the slightest complaint, and don't disturb them on weekdays... The real person can rest assured to live in my Ye family."
Zhou Jing raised his brows, roughly understood what the other party was thinking, and then opened his mouth to give the other party a reassurance, and said with a smile:
"The Ye family has handled a lot of trivial things for Pindao. I live here quite comfortably, and I don't have to worry about anything. If the old lady doesn't dislike it, Pindao still needs to linger for some time."
"That's good, that's good..."
Grandpa Ye smiled wide-eyed.
Recently Zhou Jing became famous in Ningtian. I don't know how many wealthy families want to invite Zhou Jing to live in their home, and Ye's family is close to the water tower, so naturally they don't want Zhou Jing to leave, that's why they made this statement.
Zhou Jing himself didn't plan to move out. The facilities here are all available, and the Ye family has also been trained to become a die-hard supporter. If he goes out, he has to re-purchase it himself. There is no need for it.
The two talked a few more words, and then Taigong Ye left and went back to the house to continue recuperating without disturbing Zhou Jing.
At this time, the steward who had been waiting outside walked in and reported:
"Zhenzhen, there are two Taoist priests, an old man and a young man, who are asking for a meeting, claiming that they have something important to discuss and want to meet with the real person."
Zhou Jing blinked and asked, "Can you verify the authenticity? Don't be an idler who comes to the door and makes up random people. Whose hen hatches three chicks with one egg, and whose bird will speak. spit out words…”
The steward shook his head and said, "These two Taoists have a slaughter, they don't seem to be cheating."
"Let's see you then."
Zhou Jing became curious.
Two serious Taoists came to the door, not knowing what to do.
You won't come to check his unlicensed business, right
'Just to see what the characteristics of Taoist priests in this world are, and if they pretend to be ghosts in the future, there is also a reference. Moreover, there are evil spirits in this world, and there should be some Taoist people with real skills. I made such a big noise, I wonder if I can meet... '
Zhou Jing secretly said.
…
On the other side, the old man and the young man were waiting for the steward to return outside the Ye family mansion.
The young man glanced at the long line and whispered, "Master, this Lingfengzi is so popular, and so many people come to see him, will he meet us?"
Lao Dao glanced at him: "You ask me like that, as if I know."
The young man choked and said relentlessly, "Master, I still think it's too risky to ask for a meeting..."
Lao Dao turned a deaf ear, closed his eyes and rested his mind, looking like "I can't use my ears well".
The young man was boring and settled down.
But after a while, he couldn't keep his mouth idle again, and said enviously:
"He is so popular, how much money can he earn every day? Master, why don't we go out with dignitaries?"
Lao Dao opened his eyes and said thoughtfully, "Do you think it's possible that I'm dragging you down to get rich?"
"Have this..."
"Um?"
"Master, I think I still like the feeling of poverty."
"Um."
The old man closed his eyes again.
The boy closed his mouth again.
Not long after, the steward finally came back and said, "Shen Yufeng agreed, and the two Taoists will come with me."
"It's work."
The old Taoist bowed slightly, brought his apprentice, and entered the Ye family mansion with the steward.
A group of people walked in the house, passing through the corridor.
The young man quietly approached Lao Dao and whispered, "Master, what should I say later?"
"You don't have to speak, don't make trouble for me."
The old man rolled his eyes.
The boy snorted and closed his mouth obediently.
The old man thought for a while, then lowered his voice and said:
"If this Lingfengzi is willing to help, it would be the best. If he has other ideas, it will not be good. Be smart later and act according to the opportunity... Wei Shi will use the Qi technique to explore him, just look at him. At a glance, you can know what Daoxing is. I don't know what kind of magic this Lingfengzi is practicing, and what methods he has, but unless he knows such amazing skills as qi concealment, Daoxing can't be fake."
Saying so, the group finally arrived at the living room.
The steward who led the way asked the two of them to wait outside the house, went in and made a report by himself, and then came out, with a hand, and said:

"The real person is waiting inside, the two of you please come in."
Lao Dao calmed down, raised his guard secretly, and walked in.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhou Jing sitting in the main seat, wearing a feathered dress and a daoguan and cloud shoes, and his appearance was much more refined than his shabby Taoist, and he was very curious about the two of them.
Obviously, this person is the righteous master, Lingfengzi, "Really Yufeng".
When the old man saw this, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Qi Shu in silence.
The Qi of the Five Elements, the Qi of Yin Evil, the Qi of the Corpse... All kinds of auras that cannot be seen by the naked eye, appear traces in the eyes of Lao Dao.
And at this moment, he saw the cold azure light blooming with Zhou Jing as the center.
The old man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly moved, and subconsciously blurted out:
"The way is natural?!"
Zhou Jing was stunned.
What kind of opening remarks is this? Could it be that serious Taoists greeted their colleagues like this
He blinked and tried to return the salute: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate?"
The old man came back to his senses, looked at Zhou Jing in surprise, a look of awe appeared on his face, he didn't dare to care, he actually held a respectful junior salute, and solemnly said:
"Wei Zifu of the Pindao Qingling faction, this is Li Qingyang, a young disciple, see the real Taoist."
He has been listening to Lingfengzi's deeds every day recently, and his ears are already full of cocoons. He knows that this person should really have the ability. On the way here, he has guessed several possibilities.
But Wei Zifu only never thought that Lingfengzi's Taoism was so high!
The qi of the wood sign of the Sun Trigram comes from the inside, and the qi and the body are not separated from each other, and they are naturally formed.
Only by practicing the Five Elements and Wood to an unimaginably high level can one be able to embrace such a Taoism. Such a characteristic is impressively a profound realm guessed in the Taoist sect's secret biography - Taoism is natural!
He had never seen anyone reach such a state, but he never imagined that one day, he would be able to see with his own eyes a real person in the world with such a legend!
However, Wei Zifu did not know that this was a misunderstanding.
When Zhou Jing first merged with the spirit of the wind, he already possessed some features of the element body, which is equivalent to a walking human-shaped spirit of the wind, which can be regarded as a large aggregate of wind elements.
However, in the vision of Wang Qishu, it was mistaken for the characteristics of "Tao and natural" - not that he really reached this realm, but the appearance characteristics of different extraordinary systems were confused and hit by mistake.
Zhou Jing didn't know why Wei Zifu had a shocked expression, and wondered secretly.
To be cautious, he quietly opened his elemental vision.
The next moment, his senses changed, and he was also surprised to find that Wei Zifu was surrounded by a white air, which made him feel like a fairy.
The young man named Li Qingyang next to him also had traces of white air on his body, but it was much thinner.
'Do these two people possess other extraordinary systems in this world? '
Zhou Jing's eyes lit up, and he was in high spirits.
He quietly opened the panel, spent Astral Point and lost a detection.
Soon, the attributes of this old Taoist Wei Zifu emerged:
[Attributes: Physical 13, Resistance 11, Perception 18, Spirit 15, Energy 26]
Zhou Jing was overjoyed and blinked.
"Sure enough, it's a different extraordinary system! This attribute is really... uh, balanced?"
