Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 219: The demon stone
Fear was written all over Zhang Xinya's beautiful face. She did not expect Tang Xiu to be able to guess exactly what kind of illness her father was suffering from just by knowing the name of the medicinal herb she was giving.
“Is he ... a Divine Doctor?” The idea came to his mind, though he quickly put it away.
If someone else were to say it, he might believe he was a Divine Doctor! But when it came to Tang Xiu, he would not believe it even if he was beaten to death. After all, Tang Xiu was still too young. Aren't the Chinese medical doctors who are very proficient in Traditional Chinese Medicine, old?
“As you said, he contracted Virtual Fire Deficiency disease,” Zhang Xinya nodded with a sad expression.
“Lone Riverserpent is indeed a great medicinal herb for treating this disease. The effect will be better if added to Silver Bluegrass. Alright, since Ouyang Lulu has spoken for you, I might as well help you to the end. “Tang Xiu's.
After saying that, he dialed Chen Zhizhong's number.
“Master, You looking for me?” Chen Zhizhong's voice came out from the phone.
“Iya. I've got some trivia for you to ask. Do you know Zhang Xinya? “Ask Tang Xiu.
“Ya.” Answer Chen Zhizhong.
“I saw. He needs a Lone Riverserpent potion. Help him to look for it, give him a discount if you can. She is a friend of Ouyang Lulu, “ Tang Xiu said.
Without hesitation, Chen Zhizhong said, “Understood, I will contact him later.”
“She is with me now, you can talk to her!” Said Tang Xiu.
After saying that, he handed the phone to Zhang Xinya and said lightly, “This is Chen Zhizhong, you spoke to her.”
Zhang Xinya was shocked. She thanked him with gratitude as she picked up the phone and said, “Halo, I'm Zhang Xinya. You're Uncle Chen? ”
“Yes, it's me. Master I just told me about your situation. I'll try to find this Lone Riverserpent herb to the best of my ability, and I'll let you know immediately after I find it. ”
“Master?” Zhang Xinya was stunned. A puzzled expression filled his eyes as he subconsciously asked.
“So you actually do not know that the person who owns this phone is my Master ?! Good. Since Master has told me to take care of this matter, you can assume it is done. By the way, since I don't need to talk to her again over the phone, I'll hang up. ”
“Good..”.
Zhang Xinya replied. Then, an inaudible beep came out of the phone. A shocked expression was written on his face as he looked at Tang Xiu as if he was looking at an alien.
“Mastered? Tang Xiu is Master Chen Zhizhong? Heaven! How is this possible?”
Who is Chen Zhizhong? He is the Big Boss of Endless Priority Pharmacy, a powerful billionaire with ten billion in assets. How could he possibly worship a young man in his 20s given his joyous status?
Zhang Xinya swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked in a quivering voice, “T-Tang .. Tang Xiu, are you really Mr Boss Chen?”
“Is there a problem with that?” Tang Xiu asked calmly.
“T-no problem, of course, no problem .. just it .... it ... I was a little surprised.” Zhang Xinya shook his head and waved his hand repeatedly and said, “Oh, right. Thank ye. Thank you very much. If it was me, calling Boss Chen would be very difficult. ”
Tang Xiu said with a pale smile, “Thank you back, and there is no need for that courtesy. As long as you see Ouyang Lulu later and don't say anything bad about Me in front of her, I'm quite satisfied. Good. Since I've done everything I can, I'm gonna get on my flight. Goodbye to.”
“Wait! I'll send you away! “Zhang Xinya quickly said.
Tang Xiu stopped him, and said straightforwardly, “No. I don't want tomorrow's headlines to be “Big Pop Star Zhang Xinya Is In A Secret Date Intimate with A Mysterious Young Man at Airport”. So please, stay where you are now. ”
After saying that, he picked up his black travel bag and walked to the door leading to the departure gate.
Zhang Xinya looked at Tang Xiu's back, puzzled. His heart was like upside down; with a mixture of sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and hot feelings inside. Even in his dreams, he did not dare to think that he would encounter such a strange encounter, for meeting such an incredible person!
At first, it was just a coincidence. He lost his luggage. Then, a trivial matter of borrowing a cell phone occurred. After which, everything inadvertently led to the completion of his goal of visiting Star City. Not only did he meet a friend of his good sister, the other party even seemed to be a practitioner of high achievement in Chinese Medicine.
***
Tianjin City!
Due to its location being very close to Beijing, Tianjin City was developing very quickly. A large number of towering tall buildings were built alongside rows of shops with dazzling rows of merchandise. The transportation network was also vast as it could be accessed from all directions, with endless streams of traffic that looked as if a body of convergence was full of a dragon.
“Desolate Origin Ancient Gate.”
The store had a strange name and its decor style gave off a gloomy impression.
Carrying his bag, Tang Xiu entered the front door of the most secluded shop in this Antique Goods Trading Market. A sense of repression floated within and enveloped his mind. Large ceilings, walls, including all the furniture inside are black. The various colors he could see were just rows of antiques and antiques on black shelves.
Currently, there was no one on the first floor. Other than the two visitors who were looking at the antiques and antiques here, there was no one else. Tang Xiu was secretly shocked and wondered, were these shopkeepers not afraid that the visitors would steal the merchandise? However, in order to find the old man he had just spoken to on the phone, he let go of his perception and immediately found him in a private room on the second floor. Other than a white-haired old man wearing reading glasses, there were also some middle-aged men and women there. The three were currently staring at a coffin half a foot tall and half a foot tall on the table in front of them.
“It is...”
Disciple Tang Xiu flickered. Along with the expansion of his perception, he focused his attention on the coffin. He did not expect that he would find the Demon Stone on Earth.
The Demon Stone was a treasure needed by the Demon cultivators of the Demon World. It contained a large amount of demonic-power within it, which could increase their cultivation base and strength once they absorbed and refined it. It had the same uses as the Immortal Stone used by Gods in the Eternal Realm; as for Gods, they absorbed the immortal power of the Immortal Stone to increase their strength.
“I have to get it!” Tang Xiu's eyes blinked.
To Tang Xiu, at present, unlike the Everlasting Stone that would only bring ordinary effects to him, the Demon Stone was different. That was because his cultivation technique — Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis was actually a cultivation technique to refine the body into a Demon and Divine Body. If he were to absorb his demonic energy, it would be a great advantage for him in forming a Divine Body.
Tang Xiu took a deep breath and then walked to the second floor. He stopped at the door and knocked.
“You?” The moment the door opened, the silver-haired old man looked at him curiously.
“Tang Xiu, from Star City.” Answer Tang Xiu.
The silver-haired old man suddenly came to a realization. However, she immediately frowned because she did not expect that Tang Xiu would be so young. After hesitating, he said, “You know, this old man is a bit stupid. You're the one who called me, right? That... ah please wait a minute! Some people came to me to sell old things. I have to comfort them first. ”
“Old thing? Can I see him? “Tang Xiu pretended to be surprised and said.
The silver-haired old man actually wanted to reject him. However, given that Tang Xiu was here to buy his precious stones, he nodded to avoid any other difficulties later.
After entering the room, the silver-haired old man was as if he had forgotten Tang Xiu's presence. He quickly returned to inspect the coffin with the middle-aged man and woman, continuing to move back and forth.
“I can't open it! Didn't you say that this was passed down from your ancestors? Could it be that no one among your ancestors could open it? “Finally, the silver-haired old man couldn't help but ask.
The middle-aged man was dressed simply and looked simple and honest. After hearing the question, he immediately shook his head and said, “At first, the elders of the family thought that opening this coffin would be ..unpleasant, so they placed it in the family ancestral temple. Recently, there was a fire in our village. Dozens of houses were burned down, including the ancestral temple of our family. At first, we thought that everything had been burned to ashes, but we did not expect that after we cleared the ruins, we found this coffin still intact. We also want to open it, no matter what it means we try, either smash it with a hammer, burn it, nothing can damage this coffin, not even the slightest bit. This object is very difficult. Although I don't know how hard the diamond is, but I'm sure that this coffin is harder than a diamond. ”
The silver-haired old man nodded and said, “Yes, this object is indeed very difficult. I've only used an electric drill and a cutting machine before, but I couldn't destroy it. Also, this is the first time I've seen this object and I can't identify the material and its quality. I'm not sure about the origin of this object, from which dynastic era. As for the assessment of this object .. It is very difficult for me to estimate it. ”
The middle-aged man and woman glanced at each other as disappointment was seen on their faces.
They have visited more than a dozen antique shops. None of the shopkeepers or antiques experts could figure out the value of the coffin. Even the highest price they were willing to offer was only 50 thousand yuan.
The middle-aged man asked, “Old man, just say the price. If we feel that it is okay, we will sell this item to you. If not, then we'll go. ”
The silver-haired man had obviously been considering the price issue for a long time. After hearing the middle-aged man's question, he reached out his finger and said, “I'll buy it for 100 thousand.”
Upon hearing the offer, the faces of the middle-aged man and woman were still full of disappointment. The middle-aged woman then asked again with anticipation on her face, “Can you put a higher price? We really need a lot of money, but we can't sell it for just 100 grand! ”
For a moment, the silver-haired old man was silent. After which, he slowly said, “120 thousand yuan. This is the highest price I can offer. That's because I also took a big risk to buy this object! If you can accept it, then we will make a deal now. But if you can't, I won't raise My offer again. ”
The middle-aged man said with a bitter expression, “Sorry, we cannot sell for 120 thousand yuan.”
After saying that, he wrapped the coffin in a yellowish cloth again, looked down and was sad.
“Wait!” Tang Xiu suddenly spoke.
The middle-aged man was startled for a moment, even the middle-aged woman and the silver-haired old man were stunned.
Looking at the middle-aged man, Tang Xiu asked, “Can you tell me what happened to your family?”
“Ah, okay. A huge fire broke out in our house. Not only was his house on fire, even my father had severe burns. In order to take care of our old father, we, husband and wife, have borrowed a lot of money. So, if this object is sold for less than 300 thousand, we cannot even pay our debts. ”
