You only see how fast I make money, but you don't know how fast I spend it.

Qin Yanxi was confused by Su Chen's words, because she didn't know where Su Chen needed to spend money.

"You are from a martial arts family, you should know the meaning of the phrase "poor and rich". ”

"Of course I know the meaning of these words, learning martial arts is not so easy, you have to boil your body and bones since you were a child, if you don't have enough nutrition and tonics to keep up, you will only be practicing your body to waste. ”

Although Qin Yanxi did not practice martial arts herself, her family was born in martial arts, especially those brothers and brothers of her generation, who grew up soaking in the medicine jar since childhood.

These medicinal liquids are not cheap to blend, many of them are precious Chinese medicine supplements, it is not an exaggeration to say that to train a martial artist who enters the house, it will cost at least hundreds of thousands of medicinal materials.

"Martial arts practice costs money like this, so do you think cultivation doesn't cost money, the resources required for cultivation are a bottomless pit, and no amount of money is enough. ”

Su Chen saw that Qin Yanxi seemed to be a little unconvinced, and explained in detail: "Martial arts practice relies on medicinal diet and medicinal liquid to make up for the damage caused by the overuse of the body, and although our cultivation will not damage the body, if we want to cultivate to improve, then we must have resources to pile it up, just take the magic weapon, the most ordinary magic weapon, the market price is also more than seven figures." ”

"Ritual Weapon, what is Ritual Weapon?"

Qin Yanxi was a little curious, Su Chen replied with a slight smile: "A magic weapon is a tool with some special functions, the most common is the peach wood sword held by those Taoist priests in film and television dramas, but if a peach wood sword is a magic weapon, then the material requirements for the peach wood sword are very high first, the first step is to be lightning strike wood, do you know what the price of lightning strike wood is in the market?"

Without waiting for Qin Yanxi to answer, Su Chen answered by himself.

"A palm-sized lightning strike wood costs about 10,000 yuan, of course, this kind of lightning strike wood is not simply struck by lightning, but a tree that has not died after being struck by lightning, and then waits until the tree grows new skin again, which is the real lightning strike wood. ”

Qin Yanxi smacked his tongue: "The conditions are so harsh, there are not many lightning strike woods in the country that meet the conditions, so it is not too expensive to sell at this price." ”

"It's really rare, but it's not nothing, in some primeval forests, there are still quite a lot of lightning strike trees, but because no one has found it, when these trees have completely changed their skin, they will not be recognizable, and after a long time, the energy contained in the thunder has completely dissipated. ”

The reason why lightning wood can be sold so expensive is because it contains the energy of thunder, but the energy of thunder is not always there, and it will dissipate over time.

"Mr. Su, when you talk about lightning strike wood, I have really seen it, and there is one in our hometown, there was a willow tree that was struck by lightning last month, but the willow tree is not dead, and it is still alive, I don't know if it meets the lightning strike wood you said Mr. Su. ”

The driver who was originally driving quietly in front suddenly spoke, this driver has been with Li Xuan for many years, and he is considered Li Xuan's confidant, knowing how much respect his boss has for this Mr. Su, under normal circumstances, he will not speak.

"Oh, master, where is your hometown?"

"My hometown is not far away, in Anyi County, and I am from Anyi. ”

"Since it's not far away, can the master take me over to have a look? ”

Su Chen is still very interested in lightning strikes, the usefulness of this thing is too wide, and even if he can't use it, he can exchange it with others for what he wants.

"Okay, then I'll take Mr. Su and Miss Qin to my hometown to have a look. ”

The driver reversed direction and headed for another road, and half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a village.

Although this village is not as simple as the ancient town of Anyi, it is also an ancient town, and the entrance of the village is a large pond, which is also in line with the style of Gan architecture, that is, the village site is generally located next to the water mouth.

"Mr. Su, this is the willow tree. ”

Stopping the car, the driver pointed to the edge of the pond, but he didn't actually need to point it, Su Chen's eyes had already fallen on the willow tree.

This is a willow tree that grows on the edge of the pond, the whole willow branch is not particularly long, about two meters high, but the branches are very spread, like an open umbrella, almost covering half of the pond.

After getting out of the car, Su Chen and Qin Yanxi approached, only to notice that the middle of the willow tree was scorched black, obviously struck by lightning.

"Mr. Su, this willow tree has more than these branches and leaves, the branches and leaves were very lush before it was struck by lightning, and now the branches and leaves are less than one-third of the original, you see that these withered branches on the ground fell from the willow tree. ”

The driver also came over and introduced the situation to Su Chen.

"At that time, after the willow tree was struck by lightning, I heard from the people in the village that the willow tree was scorched black a week ago, and everyone in our village thought that the willow tree must be dead, but what I didn't expect was that the willow tree in the back slowly recovered and became like this. ”

"Then the vitality of this willow tree is really tenacious. ”

After listening to the driver's introduction, Qin Yanxi was a little incredible, the whole tree was scorched black, and it was even able to be resurrected, except for lamenting that the vitality of this willow tree was too tenacious, I really didn't know what to say.

Su Chen stretched out his hand and was about to touch this willow tree, I don't know why, the willow tree in front of him gave him a very mysterious feeling, far from being as simple as lightning strike wood.

However, just when Su Chen stretched out his hand and hadn't touched the willow tree, a shout suddenly came from not far away.

"Who are you, don't move!"

The voice came from the left, Su Chen turned his head sideways, and found that a group of people had walked out of the village at this moment, and when he saw him, these people quickened their pace.

"Director Liu, is there anything wrong? This is Mr. Su, and I am a good friend of the boss. ”

When the driver Lao Gao saw a group of people coming, he immediately spoke first, he was afraid that Director Liu's words would offend Mr. Su.

"Boss Li's friend, that's a distinguished guest, Lao Gao, you don't notify me in advance. ”

Liu Cai, who was still with a straight face, heard the words of the driver Lao Gao, his expression immediately changed, and he smiled.

As the director, he knows the situation of every household in the village very well, Lao Gao has followed Boss Li for many years, don't look at it as just a driver, the most intimate leaders in these years are the driver and the secretary, and the bosses are the same.

And what kind of person is Boss Li, he is a well-known big man and entrepreneur in this province, and such a person is not offended by such a small village committee director.

So for Lao Gao, Liu Cai is with a heart of friendship, every time Lao Gao comes back from vacation, he has to go to Lao Gao's house to sit, thinking about seeing if he can catch the line of Boss Li.

"Hello Mr. Su. ”

Liu Cai stretched out his hand towards Su Chen with a smile on his face, and Su Chen also shook hands with a smile, but his gaze shifted from Liu Cai to a middle-aged man next to Liu Cai.

"Director Liu, Mr. Su heard me say that there is a willow tree in our village that was struck by lightning but did not die, so he was a little curious to come and take a look. ”

The driver, Lao Gao, is very good at observing words and feelings, and he had heard Su Chen talk about the value of lightning strike wood in the car before, and then added: "Mr. Su is very interested in this willow tree and wants to buy this willow tree, our village will not disagree." ”

Lao Gao was still very sure when he said this, because Liu Cai gave himself face on weekdays, although he also knew that Liu Cai gave himself face to Mr. Li behind him, but as long as he was still Mr. Li's driver, Liu Cai had to keep giving face.

is just a willow tree, Liu Cai will definitely not refute his face.

However, what Lao Gao didn't expect was that after Liu Cai heard his words, his face showed embarrassment, and he said apologetically: "Lao Gao, if you had told me earlier, this matter would be easy to do, but now I can't call the shots of this willow tree, because it has been sold to Mr. Chen, and Mr. Chen has given 10,000 yuan to our village committee, and the money has been given, and this tree will be Mr. Chen's from now on." ”

Liu Cai's words made Lao Gao stunned, it would be so coincidental, he glanced at Su Chen, and when he saw Su Chen groaning and not speaking, he knew it in his heart.

"Director Liu, Mr. Su really likes this willow tree, didn't Mr. Chen spend 10,000 yuan, so let's do it, I'm willing to buy it back for 15,000 yuan." ”

"I'm sorry, I don't sell. ”

However, before Liu Cai could answer, Mr. Chen preemptively refused.

Liu Cai glanced at Mr. Chen, his eyes rolled a few times, he can't afford to offend, but this Mr. Chen is also a person who can't afford to offend, and the backer behind Mr. Chen is not trivial.

"That...... I think we should go to the village and sit down and discuss it. ”

Liu Cai began to play a round game, but this Mr. Chen didn't intend to give face, and after hearing this, he replied coldly: "Director Liu, hand over the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, I have already given the money, I will take this willow tree with me now." ”

After speaking, this Mr. Chen made a look at a few people around him, and those people walked towards the willow tree, Lao Gao wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Su Chen.

"It's okay, let them go. ”

Su Chen's eyes fell on the willow tree, he was a little unable to see through this willow tree before, but at this moment he was already sure that this willow tree was not simple, this Mr. Chen was obviously also coming for the lightning strike wood, but unfortunately, this willow tree was not just as simple as a lightning strike wood.

Su Chen didn't stop it, and the men quickly walked up to the willow tree, took out the rope and prepared to tie it to the willow tree, but before they could put the rope on the willow tree, the accident happened.
