Chapter 7 Gift-giving
One of the indicators for assessing the level of an alchemist is to look at the level of the elixir they have refined. An alchemy apprentice can refine a third-grade elixir, an alchemist can refine a second-grade elixir, and an alchemy grandmaster can refine a first-grade elixir. The Holy Elixir is not something that mortal monks can refine.
In the mortal world, the Holy Grade Spirit Pill is like the existence of legends, just because the Ancient Divine Water Sword came to Zhongtian, this world that is higher than the mortal world, so in the Ninefold Divine Temple, the Holy Grade Spirit Pill has become a cabbage like the monks of the Returning Sky Realm.
Duan Yongyuan is an alchemist, and the Replenishing Yuan Pill he refined naturally belongs to the second grade.
One first-grade supplemental Yuan Pill is worth five thousand Chiyan coins, and the second-grade supplemental Yuan Pill is two thousand Chiyan coins. The batch of elixirs given by Duan Yongyuan was worth 400,000 Chiyan coins, which were already quite valuable as gifts for the visit.
If it had been before, Tang Zhongli would definitely be so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, but just now Tang Zixi brought back a thousand Saint-grade Replenishing Yuan Pills to the Tang family!
Therefore, Tang Zhongli was not very excited to see the Buyuan Pill given by Duan Yongyuan, but he was an elegant person and was very interested in that ancient painting.
This ancient painting was purchased by Duan Yongyuan for 100,000 Chiyan coins on a very famous antique street in the imperial capital.
It is said that this ancient painting was the work of a famous artist more than 1,000 years ago, and the yellowed silk cloth is painted with a bamboo picture. The bamboo is complex but not mixed, the coloring is elegant and charming, and there is a kind of free artistic conception that is clear and high from the dust and is not bound by the world.
At first, the hawker asked for 200,000 yuan, but Duan Yongyuan said that the silk cloth had a few moth-eaten holes, and if the ancient painting was damaged, the price would drop, and he would have bargained to 100,000 yuan, and he would not buy it if it was higher than 100,000 yuan.
As soon as he saw Duan Yongyuan's expression of being picky about the ancient paintings being damaged by insects and unwilling to buy them, the hawker brother was anxious. Maybe he really needed money urgently, and an ancient painting that was more than a thousand years old was actually sold for 100,000 Chiyan coins.
Duan Yongyuan pretended not to care too much on the surface and bought the painting, but in his heart he was really happy! In fact, a little insect moth is harmless, doesn't this just prove that this ancient painting is old and worthy of the name? He thinks that he has picked up a treasure, and this ancient painting can be sold for at least 600,000 yuan and a net of 500,000 yuan when it is sold to connoisseurs who know the goods!
However, in the end, Duan Yongyuan did not sell the ancient paintings, but gave them to the Tang family as gifts. When Tang Zhongli said that this ancient painting must be quite expensive and he didn't dare to accept it, Duan Yongyuan pretended to be generous and said that this ancient painting was only 600,000 yuan, which was not expensive, and it was his heart for the Tang family, and he hoped that his uncle would not refuse.
Just for a piece of heart, Tang Zhongli was quite satisfied with Duan Yongyuan.
He naturally knew that Duan Yongyuan was a drunkard, and he didn't mean to drink. Duan Yongyuan came for the agreement, as long as he was admitted to the alchemist, the Tang family would not stop him from pursuing Tang Zixi.
It can be said that to deal with Duan Yongyuan, who was still a fledgling back then, and Yunhe now, the Tang family used the same trick, draw a big pie for you, and make a three-year appointment.
Tang Zhongli didn't expect Duan Yongyuan to really be able to do it. Now that he was anxiously thinking about driving Yunhe away from Tang Zixi, this Duan Yongyuan came at the right time.
Although Duan Yongyuan's appearance is not as handsome and fairy as Yunhe, he is also good-looking, with red lips and white teeth, and dark skin that makes him look very bold, his eyes are bright, exuding a terrifying temperament, and he knows that the realm is not low at a glance.
The most important thing is that Duan Yongyuan is a serious person, and Yunhe is just a fox demon who is not tolerated by the world. Behind Duan Yongyuan is the Dan God Sect, and even the four major families in the imperial capital and the Helian royal family all respect the Dan God Sect. And behind Yunhe is only the unknown Flying Fox Valley, and what's worse is that the Hunter Guild, the Helian Royal Clan, and the whole human race all want to get rid of him and hurry up.
Although the Tang family is not bad for money now, its strength is more than one and a half stars worse, and before the strength increases, it is best to have a big force as a backing.
In this comparison, it is clear which is more important and which is more important. What's even more rare is that Duan Yongyuan really likes Tang Zixi, and he works so hard for Tang Zixi, and his achievements are obvious to all. Now Tang Zhongli looks at Duan Yongyuan like he looks at his son-in-law, and he can't be enthusiastic!
Tang Zhongli smiled heartily: "Okay! Duan Gongzi, you really have a heart." It is a great honor for the Tang family to meet a young talent like you. Since this is the case, I, Tang, will not be constrained by etiquette and accept it with a cheeky face, and Duan Gongzi will be a friend of our Tang family in the future!"
At this time, Zhu Yuyao had already led Tang Zixi out.
"Miss Tang, I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to harm? You are still the same as two years ago, so beautiful that the bright moon in the sky is inferior. Duan Yongyuan's eyes lit up as soon as he saw Tang Zixi, staring at Tang Zixi, eager to take Tang Zixi into his arms.
Feeling that Duan Yongyuan was insulting himself with his gaze, Tang Zixi was very displeased, without the slightest smile, and said indifferently with a straight face: "Duan Gongzi is smiling." ”
"Duan Gongzi, I'm sorry, my girl doesn't know how to be polite, please don't be surprised. Tang Zhongli couldn't help but be very anxious when he saw Tang Zixi's indifferent attitude towards Duan Yongyuan, and hurriedly said, "Xi'er, why don't you hurry up and say hello to Duan Gongzi?"
Tang Zixi twisted her head to the side, completely ignoring it.
Tang Zhongli blushed in embarrassment when he saw Tang Zixi being disobedient.
Duan Yongyuan smiled and said, "Uncle Tang, it's okay. I think Miss Tang has an upright personality, and this temperament is very valuable. I love her personality. ”
In fact, if Tang Zixi smiled and hugged a handsome or rich man when he saw him, that Duan Yongyuan would not appreciate it.
He just likes Tang Zixi like this, like a mysterious deep valley orchid, which is both elegant and high, which is not beyond the reach of ordinary people. It was Tang Zixi who coldly rejected Duan Yongyuan thousands of miles away, but instead aroused the fire in Duan Yongyuan's heart, the more he felt that Tang Zixi was perfect, the more he wanted her.
Tang Zhongli was worried that Duan Yongyuan didn't mind what he said, but in fact, it was just a polite remark on the surface, and he had long disliked Tang Zixi in his heart for not knowing people and the world.
Seeing Tang Zhongli's anxious appearance, Zhu Yuyao, who was standing on the side, felt funny!
In response to what she taught her daughter, distance produces beauty, and what you can't get is the best. After being obviously snubbed by Tang Zixi, Duan Yongyuan stared at Tang Zixi's gaze and became even more fascinated.
When Zhu Yuyao painstakingly taught Tang Zixi how to deal with men, Tang Zixi had been thinking about Yunhe absentmindedly, and she was still worried about it, thinking that her daughter was simple and easy to be deceived by men, but she didn't expect Tang Zixi to master these skills so well, you see that Duan Yongyuan was fascinated.
Zhu Yuyao smiled with satisfaction.
Then the crowd began to talk about the world again. Tang Zhongli also deliberately praised the ancient painting bamboo picture sent by Duan Yongyuan in front of Tang Zixi, which was quite expressive and a classic. He also said that Duan Yongyuan was a good boy who respected teachers and knew how to respect his elders, and he knew that he liked to appreciate ancient paintings and specially gave him this bamboo picture, which was really heartfelt. Listening to Tang Zhongli's tone, he couldn't wait to recruit Duan Yongyuan as his son-in-law.
Tang Zhongli also half-jokingly said: "If Duan Gongzi is my son-in-law, then I am really satisfied!"
And Duan Yongyuan also smiled and agreed: "If I can be Uncle Tang's son-in-law and marry Miss Tang as my wife, it will be a blessing that I have cultivated in several lifetimes!"
Then Tang Zhongli, Zhu Yuyao and Duan Yongyuan all looked at each other and smiled, only Tang Zixi and Qian Tong couldn't laugh.
The atmosphere is getting more and more weird! How does Tang Zixi think that her parents let her go out on a blind date? And the object of this blind date is Duan Yongyuan in front of her. Look at his gift-giving and flattering expression, it's really quite annoying!
I already have a little husband, how can I hide from him and go on a blind date with another man? Even if he was cheated by his parents, I am so sorry for him!
Thinking of this, Tang Zixi felt uncomfortable. I can't stay here for a moment, but it's hard to leave because of my parents' face. After all, for the first time in more than a month, I went home, and my parents asked me to accompany the visiting guests to chat a few words! They didn't do anything out of the way, and they didn't even have a chance to say a few words to themselves, so it was really rude for them to leave like this.
Tang Zixi had no choice but to continue to accompany them and see the moves. Qian Tong is a very clever person, and when he saw that Tang Zixi's face was not right, he knew that Tang Zixi didn't want to stay here, but he didn't have an excuse to flash people.
So Qian Hitomi slipped away quietly under everyone's noses, and he was going to find his uncle......
Only the uncle can relieve the siege for the master and blast away this self-defeating Duan Yongyuan!
Tang Zhongli and Duan Yongyuan continued to talk and laugh in the hall.
Seeing that Tang Zixi had been absent-minded and not interested in the topic he was talking about, Duan Yongyuan was anxious to attract Tang Zixi's attention, so he took out the seawater pearl that had been prepared a long time ago in his arms, sincerely held it in his palm and handed it to Tang Zixi, and said affectionately: "Miss Tang, this saltwater pearl is the reward given to me by the Dan Divine Sect after I became an alchemist. I think only with Miss Tang's beauty is qualified to have it. I don't want anything more than to give it to you. I hope Miss Tang will smile!"
This saltwater pearl is perfectly round, the surface is shiny and smooth, the color is pure white, there are no impurities, the diameter is as large as a pigeon's egg, and it exudes a faint white aura, which is a gem-quality pearl.
Zhu Yuyao is a person who knows the goods, she likes this saltwater pearl quite much when she sees it, and says with a smile: "What a good pearl! Xi'er, don't you thank Duan Gongzi much?"
In fact, Zhu Yuyao is not a greedy person, although the Tang family is a small family, there are still a lot of treasures in the treasure house. She purely wanted to make Duan Yongyuan and Tang Zixi a pair, so she urged Tang Zixi to accept it.
Tang Zixi sweated for a moment! The value of this pearl exceeded the sum of the two hundred spirit pills and the ancient painting, wasn't it obvious that Duan Yongyuan had a heart for himself? If he accepted it, what was the difference between it and a token of love?
Absolutely not!
Thinking of this, Tang Zixi put on a straight face and said seriously: "Thank you Duan Gongzi for your kindness, but I can't accept it!
