Walking through the mortal world, tempering one's mind, more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye. More than a month ago, Jiang Chen had bought a medium-sized house in Qiantang City. The house was located next to a private school, and across a river was a brothel.
The reason Jiang Chen chose this place was because there was a teacher in the private school next to him. He was one of the men Jiang Chen admired most in his life. His name was: Xu Xian!
Yes, you heard it right, it was Xu Xian. Not long after Jiang Chen arrived in Qiantang County, he met this legendary man. In fact, he was just an ordinary teacher. Although he had some knowledge, it was a pity that he He was too honest and dull, so after passing the scholar examination, he did not continue the scientific examination, but chose to become a teacher.
The private school he taught at was called Bishan Academy. It was founded by a great Confucian. Although it was a private school, it was quite large in scale, with hundreds of students, including many young men and young masters from high-ranking officials. Fortunately, this school The dean of the family academy has a strong background, so even these young masters can only behave with their tail between their legs in the academy.
Opposite Yihongyuan is the most famous romantic place in Qiantang County. There are constant music and songs every night, and the endless romance has dried up the pockets of many people.
Jiang Chen is next to the academy and facing the brothel. One is a holy place that everyone yearns for, and the other is a despised romantic place. He sees people coming and going in both places every day, and he has a different feeling. .
During the day, he did not always stay at home, but wandered freely in the streets and alleys of Qiantang County, reading fortunes, treating illnesses and rescuing people, or exorcising evil spirits. Soon he became a popular figure in the city. Fortunately, because he has not been in the world for more than ten years, people's enthusiasm for Shura Zhiqiu Yiye in black has dropped significantly. No one has guessed his true identity, and they only regard him as a person with some cultivation. Taoist priest.
However, as time goes by, Jiang Chen has rescued more and more people, and naturally he has become more famous. The folk customs in ancient times were relatively simple, and Jiang Chen has the halo of being the protagonist. Therefore, many people have been affected by Jiang Chen. After receiving any favor, Jiang Chen would take the initiative to repay it. Jiang Chen took this opportunity to collect a lot of good things.
A cultivation secret book with a missing page was said to have been passed down from the Pre-Qin period. After Jiang Chen got it, he found that it was indeed written in Pre-Qin characters. Unfortunately, although the exercises recorded on it were profound and profound, Jiang Chen did not dare to practice them randomly. , after all, this skill is really incomplete. If he just practices hard, he will easily become Ouyang Feng No. 2.
An ancient bow with a missing string. Jiang Chen sensed a mysterious and powerful force on the bow. He was sure that this ancient bow must be an extraordinary and valuable treasure. If he could find a suitable bow string, he would be able to use it immediately. Will have a powerful long-range attack weapon...
There are many such things. Unfortunately, they are all incomplete and their value is naturally greatly reduced. But as an unexpected harvest, it is already very good to have such a level. Of course, in addition to these, there were also treasures that moved his heart. They were a few very precious medicinal herbs. Whether it was a coincidence or God's will, the person who sold the medicinal herbs to him was the one he saved when he first came to Qiantang Town. The father and son below.
The Wang family and his son were well-known medicinal farmers in the area. They lived in the suburbs and depended on the mountains. They collected and sold wild medicinal materials in the mountains all year round to support their family. There are many dangerous places in the deep mountains and old forests, but there are often exotic flowers and plants growing there, which are harvested by the Wang family and his sons.
In just over a month, Jiang Chen bought Polygonum multiflorum, Polygonatum sibiricum, Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng, Dragon's breath grass and many other medicinal herbs from Wang's father and son. Although the vintage was limited, they were all real wild medicinal herbs, and some of them had even reached the age of It meets the standards of heavenly materials and earthly treasures and is very precious.
After more than two hundred years of continuous growth, the world space in his body has become very large. Although there is no starry sky yet, the Origin Continent already has an area of thousands of miles, and some mountains and lands have been born. But because the inner world during this time period is still mainly about expansion and growth, although there are already ancestral spiritual veins under the earth that are giving birth to life, they are very weak, and they need all kinds of heaven and earth treasures to increase their vitality.
Medicinal materials are the best choice. With the growth of the inner world, they can also transform and become very precious elixirs of heaven and earth. Therefore, for precious medicinal materials, Jiang Chen has always been a no-brainer. Rejection and accumulation are his unchanging beliefs.
On this day, Wang Qi sent some fresh medicinal materials. Although there were no precious medicinal materials, the variety was good. Jiang Chen was very satisfied and bought these medicinal materials at a high price and put them all into his inner world. , and then, he was about to go out, but before he thought, a new guest came.
A young man in rich clothes came to Jiang Chen's courtyard surrounded by a group of wealthy slaves. After knocking on the courtyard door and seeing Jiang Chen, he immediately shouted with a bit of arrogance: "You are the one who has become famous in the city recently. That Taoist priest? Come with me!" There was a strong aura that did not tolerate resistance in his words. It was obvious that this young man had an extraordinary status and was a very high-status figure.
However, how could Jiang Chen take this earthly status into consideration? He calmly looked at the proud young man in front of him, and a faint smile appeared on his face. The smile did not contain any expression, and his voice was even more indifferent: " Sorry, Pindao has budgeted for today’s formation, so I’m afraid I can’t leave with you.”
Hearing this, the young man in brocade clothes couldn't help but be stunned, because as a man from a wealthy background, he was obviously used to getting and asking for everything. Therefore, after hearing Jiang Chen's words, an indescribable anger suddenly arose in his heart. Xiang Jiangchen's eyes were full of coldness, and his tone became a bit colder than the previous proud one: "Do you know who I am, and do you know the consequences of rejecting me?"
"Oh?" Jiang Chen seemed to be a little interested, and immediately said with a smile but not a smile: "Although I am not interested in who you are, I really want to know what will happen if I refuse you." What are the consequences?"
"Hmph!" There was a cold snort in response, and the young man in brocade immediately waved his hand and shouted: "You are very bold, but sometimes being too courageous is not a good thing, because no one has ever dared to refuse me. Come on, give it to me." Take him away!"
"Yes!" Following the command of the young man in brocade, the dozen or so slaves surrounding him immediately separated into four people and rushed towards Jiang Chen.
"Huh?" With a deep groan, Jiang Chen frowned slightly, and he shouted: "How reckless!" Immediately, an invisible aura came out of his body, and without waiting for the four slaves, After being forced a few feet in front of him, they were shaken back and fell violently several feet away. The severe pain made them moan uncontrollably.
Huo Ran turned around and looked straight at the young man in brocade clothes with stern eyes. His eyes were cold and his words were even colder: "It's broad daylight and the sky is clear. Do you still have the law in your eyes when you act like this?"
"Wang Fa?" Hearing Jiang Chen's words, the young man in golden clothes immediately snorted: "In Qiantang County, I, Liang Chuan, am Wang Fa!"
"It's a pity that your royal method can't cure me?" Jiang Chen also sneered: "After all, if you come to see me for anything, if I am in a good mood, I may be willing to accompany you. Otherwise, you'd better leave quickly, unless you want to end up like them."
"You..." The young man in golden clothes named Liang Chuan was obviously a little afraid of Jiang Chen. He looked at the four men who were still lying on the ground and kept wailing, and suddenly shouted in anger: "Trash!"
Knowing that they had angered their master, the four slaves immediately silenced themselves. Even if the pain hit their hearts, they could only grit their teeth and endure it.
When Liang Chuan saw this, he snorted coldly, then turned to Jiang Chen and said, "I heard that you have good medical skills, so I want to ask you to treat my father."
"Oh, so you want to invite me to treat your father." Jiang Chen immediately replied with a sneer: "But, is there such a request? Not to mention that I may not be able to cure your father's disease, just Given your virtue, even if I could cure him, I would not cure your father!"
"A doctor has the heart of a parent!" Liang Chuan said coldly: "What's more, don't you monks always pay attention to compassion?"
"Ha! That's the Buddhist sect. Our Taoist sect doesn't pay attention to this." Jiang Chen said calmly: "Let's be realistic. I know that your father is Liang Siyuan, the prefect of Hangzhou. Your family has a Hanyue Orb in your collection. If I can To cure your father's illness, how about giving me this Hanyue Orb?"
"Bold!" Hearing this, Liang Chuan couldn't help but became furious: "The Hanyue Orb is the heirloom of my Liang family, and you dare to make any plans? You are so audacious and wishful thinking!"
"Audacious and wishful thinking? Haha..." Facing Liang Chuan with a scowl on his face, Jiang Chen chuckled to himself, with a hint of joking in his laughter: "Then you have to think clearly. Now, it is your father who is seriously ill and dying. Moreover, the reason why you have your current status is all thanks to your father, who is the prefect of Hangzhou. If your father dies, then everything you have now , will all disappear overnight, are you willing?"
"You..." His words were stagnant again, but compared to before, Liang Chuan's gaze towards Jiang Chen changed obviously at this moment, and the look of fear on his face became stronger. Gritting his teeth, he said: "In addition to the Hanyue Orb, I can give you other things, such as a large amount of money..."
"I only want the Hanyue Orb!" Before Liang Chuan could finish what he said, Jiang Chen had already interrupted him. His cold tone exuded an undoubted domineering tone: "Your father's life is still Hanyue's. Orb, you have no choice between the two..."
