"Uncle Xiao, this is a cushion wrapped with snow cicada silk. It can help you concentrate your mind and calm your spirit, which is very helpful for you to cultivate your true energy. Consider it my birthday gift for you." At the banquet, Yin Chong suddenly took out a thin cushion from his package and handed it to Grandpa Xiao.
"Ah Chong, this is too precious. Moreover, the effect of this cushion is so magical, I believe it will be more useful to you. Uncle Xiao must not accept it." Old Master Xiao waved his hands hurriedly and refused.
"Uncle Xiao, please don't be so formal with me." Yin Chong handed the cushion to Grandpa Xiao forcefully and whispered, "Senior Brother Xiao Xian and I are like brothers, and Uncle Xiao is like a father to me. If it weren't for saving me, Senior Brother and his wife wouldn't have..." As he spoke, Yin Chong's eyes burst into tears, and he was extremely sad.
Mr. Xiao thought of what happened to his son and daughter-in-law, and his face was full of sadness. Xiao Lin stood aside, her eyes red, she didn't say anything, she just clenched her fists, looking extremely sad.
"Now that my senior brother and his wife have passed away, I will take on the responsibility of filial piety. Uncle Xiao, please don't reject my kindness." Yin Chong looked at Grandpa Xiao with a determined look.
"Good boy, good boy." Old Master Xiao held Yin Chong's hand tightly and remained silent for a long time.
The atmosphere suddenly became sad. Everyone was immersed in the sadness and didn't speak.
"Well, Mr. Xiao, I also have a gift for you." Chen Feng smiled faintly, breaking the faint sadness.
Old Master Xiao shook his hands repeatedly: "Mr. Chen, you have been very kind to me, how can I accept your gift? Please don't mention this matter again, please don't mention this matter again."
Chen Feng smiled, glanced at Xiao Lin and said with a smile: "Grandpa Xiao, what are you talking about? Xiao Lin and I are friends. You are Xiao Lin's grandfather, which makes you my elder. Today is your birthday, how can I come here empty-handed?" As he said that, Chen Feng touched his trouser pocket and took out a emerald green jade ring.
When Xiao Lin heard what Chen Feng said, she couldn't help but blush.
"This..." Mr. Xiao was slightly stunned, looking at the jade ring. As a well-informed man, he immediately felt the difference of this jade ring.
"Eh?" A light exclamation came from the side. It was Yin Chong staring at the jade ring with shining eyes. He couldn't help but said, "Brother Chen, can you let me see it?"
Chen Feng handed the jade ring to Yin Chong without any hesitation.
When Yin Chong took the jade ring, his expression froze and his face was full of disbelief.
"Treasure, it's really a treasure." Yin Chong murmured to himself while holding the jade ring.
"Uncle Master, isn't it just a jade ring? What's so great about it?" Xiao Lin said puzzledly, "The jade ring doesn't look very good. Is it an antique?"
Old Master Xiao was also somewhat puzzled. Although he did not say it directly out of politeness, his eyes were full of inquiries when he looked at Yin Chong.
"Uncle Xiao, you will know if you try it yourself." Yin Chong smiled slightly and handed the jade ring in his hand to Grandpa Xiao.
He took the jade ring with doubt.
"Huh?" As soon as he got it, Mr. Xiao's eyes suddenly changed and became incredible, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes when he looked at Chen Feng.
"Mr. Chen, this is so precious. I absolutely cannot accept it." Old Master Xiao quickly handed the jade ring in his hand to Chen Feng.
However, Chen Feng just looked at Mr. Xiao with a faint smile and did not reach out to take it.
Chen Feng refused to take it, but Xiao Lin, the little girl, took the jade ring and weighed it in her hand. She couldn't help but curl her lips and said, "Grandpa, isn't this just an ordinary jade ring? What's so special about it?"
"Little girl, you don't understand. Return the things to Mr. Chen quickly." Old Master Xiao scolded with a serious expression.
"Mr. Xiao, I have already given the things away and I will not take them back. If you don't want them, just throw them away." Chen Feng was smiling, but his words were full of determination that made Mr. Xiao irresistible.
"This..." Mr. Xiao was suddenly in trouble.
At this time, Yin Chong hurriedly advised: "Uncle Xiao, since it is a kind gesture from Brother Chen, why not accept it."
Old Master Xiao looked at the jade ring on Chen Feng's hand in embarrassment, struggling and silent for a long time. In his heart, he was very eager for this jade ring, but it was too valuable, so valuable that he dared not accept it easily.
"Grandpa, it's just a jade ring, just accept it." Xiao Lin wrinkled her nose, obviously not understanding why her grandfather was so shy.
Yin Chong explained solemnly, "Xiao Lin, although this jade ring may look insignificant, even if all of Master's ten snow silk cushions are added together, they are not even one tenth as valuable as this."
Xiao Lin was shocked. "No way, Uncle Master, I know about snow silk. It's a priceless jewel. How can this little jade ring be so valuable?"
"It's more than valuable, it's simply a priceless treasure." Grandpa Xiao sighed, "With this jade ring, I can condense my true essence and enter the Grandmaster realm in no time. At least I can save more than ten years of hard work."
"So magical?" Xiao Lin was startled, then ecstatic: "Then, Grandpa, please accept it quickly."
"Yes, Uncle Xiao, please don't reject Brother Chen's good intentions." Yin Chong also advised earnestly.
"Well, then I would like to thank Mr. Chen first." As he said this, Mr. Xiao bowed deeply towards Chen Feng.
Chen Feng dodged and helped Mr. Xiao up, saying repeatedly: "How can you give such a big gift to Mr. Xiao on his birthday?"
"Hey, you bad guy." Xiao Lin suddenly thought of something and looked at Chen Feng unkindly: "How did you get such a precious thing?"
As soon as the words came out, Mr. Xiao and Yin Chong looked straight at Chen Feng, their faces full of curiosity.
"Haha, I picked it up." Chen Feng chuckled, raised his glass and drank it all.
"Tsk, no one would believe you..." Xiao Lin rolled his eyes and stopped talking.
"Come on, come on, let's eat..." Mr. Xiao laughed. He was so excited to get such a treasure that he couldn't calm down for a long time. This jade ring was the one that Chen Feng found on the antique street. After Chen Feng went back, he used the earth's spiritual fire to temper it again and carved many formations in it.
This is actually a simple method of refining. Although Chen Feng was the ancestor of alchemy in his previous life and focused on alchemy, he still knows some of these techniques. After Chen Feng's forging, the quality of this jade ring has greatly improved. It has broken through the shackles of ordinary tools and reached the level of a quasi-magic weapon.
Although the quasi-magic weapon has not yet reached the level of a magic weapon, it is already a supreme artifact in the secular world. In particular, this jade ring is not an ordinary quasi-magic weapon for attack, but a quasi-magic weapon for auxiliary cultivation, which increases its value exponentially.
"Alas, if the quality of the materials were higher, I could refine a magic weapon with an effect that could be increased several times." Chen Feng sighed in his heart.
