After the transaction was completed, Jiang Shaoyou and Huo Wuji shook hands amicably, and then hesitated slightly before asking, "Mr. Huo, take the liberty of asking, I don't know that Mr. Huo is willing to pay such a high price to buy this piece of gold...... What are you going to do with this piece of gold? Of course...... I'm just curious to ask, if Mr. Huo is inconvenient to disclose, just because I didn't say it. ”

"Well...... Huo Wuji just hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "If you're interested, little brother, it's okay for me to talk to you, but this is not a place to talk, why don't we find a place to sit for a while, or I'll invite my little brother to have a meal, and then we'll talk while eating...... How is it? ”

As soon as Jiang Shaoyou heard this, he subconsciously touched his shriveled stomach and said, "Don't hide it from Mr. Huo, I'm really hungry, it's naturally best to find a place to eat and chat!" But...... I'm not used to eating Western food, so why don't we go to Chinatown and find a Chinese restaurant? ”

"Actually, I also like to eat traditional Chinese food, but ......" Huo Wuji said and glanced at the three lockboxes placed at Jiang Shaoyou's feet, and said, "But you brought so much cash, I'm afraid it's not convenient to walk around so late!" Or...... If the little brother doesn't dislike it, go to my house to sit as a guest, and when the time comes, I will cook it myself and fry a few hometown dishes for you, how about it? ”

Originally, Huo Wuji and Jiang Shaoyou were just a meeting in Pingshui, but in today's world full of deceit, few people dare to casually take home a person who has just met and doesn't even know the details of each other's origins. What's more, Huo Wuji's house is still full of some priceless treasures, not to mention that it's already midnight!

However, with Jiang Shaoyou's bearing before, Huo Wuji dared to trust Jiang Shaoyou unreservedly.

In the same way, it is said that Jiang Shaoyou is carrying so much cash with him now, and he should not take the liberty of going to a completely unfamiliar person's house to sit as a guest. Although it is said that all this money must have been paid to him by this Huo Wuji just now, God knows if this person will see wealth or something after a blink of an eye.

It's just that Jiang Shaoyou is also because of Huo Wuji's open-mindedness before, and he is not wary of him at all. If Huo Wuji is really a greedy person, then he doesn't have to buy that piece of gold at a very low price when Jiang Shaoyou doesn't know the true value of that piece of gold at all, why should he first pay a terrifying sky-high price, and after buying this piece of gold, what shady means will he use to snatch back the money he just spent? It's just impossible!

Of course...... Even if this Huo Wuji is really that kind of person, if he really has any bad thoughts, with Jiang Shaoyou's strength, he will not be afraid of him at all. Not long ago, he was still being chased and killed by the navy, land and air forces of the United States, he survived such a big scene, where would he be afraid of this little danger?

Therefore, after hearing Huo Wuji's sincere invitation, Jiang Shaoyou almost didn't hesitate, and immediately agreed.

In fact, the reason why he wanted to go to the Bai family's old restaurant in Chinatown to eat before was because he didn't like the feeling of Western food, but in fact, the main thing was to think about whether he could take the opportunity to help Ouyang Yulu solve his cousin's troubles.

Speaking of which, Jiang Shaoyou admired Ouyang Yulu's sentiment of completely ignoring family affection for the sake of the task, and if it were him, he estimated that he would definitely not be able to do it. Therefore, if possible, changing to another face and helping the white boss solve the trouble is equivalent to fulfilling Ouyang Yulu's righteousness, which is equivalent to making up for Ouyang Yulu's sacrifice for the country! Although...... Jiang Shaoyou doesn't seem to represent the country, but he just wants to do it.

It's just that there is no need to rush this matter, he is really curious about what Huo Wuji wants to do with spending more than 10 million yuan to buy such a small piece of gold, and is that piece of gold really worth so much money?

If Huo Wuji didn't want to reveal this matter, Jiang Shaoyou naturally wouldn't force anything, but now that Huo Wuji was sincerely invited, Jiang Shaoyou naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity to solve the mystery of his heart.

Huo Wuji's family lives in the suburbs of Newtownton, which is a manor that covers an area of two or three square kilometers, and the architectural style of the manor has a sense of combining Chinese and Western.

Just seeing the scale of this manor, Jiang Shaoyou couldn't help but understand Huo Wuji's boldness...... Sure enough, the world of local tyrants is not something ordinary people can imagine!

More than 10 million US dollars, for most people, is an astronomical amount that cannot be reached in a lifetime, but for others, it may be just a drop in the penny.

When he was trading before, Jiang Shaoyou already knew that this Huo Wuji was a very famous jewelry designer in the United States, but Jiang Shaoyou didn't care too much about it at that time, because in his impression, isn't the jewelry designer a craftsman who makes jewelry? In terms of personal status, net worth or something, I think it should be far from opening a jewelry store!

But now Jiang Shaoyou knows that he was wrong...... The value of such a manor alone is estimated to be worth at least a few hundred million dollars! I haven't heard of any craftsman in this world who can live in a mansion worth hundreds of millions of dollars! It can be seen that even if Huo Wuji is really just a jewelry designer, he is definitely a tyrant-level designer!

Following Huo Wuji into this luxurious manor, Jiang Shaoyou's three lockboxes were temporarily left on Huo Wuji's Rolls-Royce limousine, and Jiang Shaoyou didn't pay attention to it. He wanted to directly receive the lockbox into the space artifact, but in front of Huo Wuji, he naturally wouldn't do it. Now the existence of this space artifact can be said to be a shocking trouble, once it is known and spread, I believe that those who know will immediately know that Jiang Shaoyou is the one who stole important items from the Future Science and Technology Research Institute, and is still under the pursuit of the navy, land and air forces of the United States, and the person who calmly escaped.

Therefore, at least here in the United States, if Jiang Shaoyou is killed, he will not expose the existence of this space artifact in front of others.

Huo Wuji really didn't break his promise, although there were so many people and cooks in his manor, but with his noble status and amazing net worth, he actually cooked in person, cooked a few small dishes with the flavor of Chinese Sichuan cuisine, and then opened a bottle of a century-old Moutai old wine, and then sat down with Jiang Shaoyou in the restaurant and chatted while eating.

Jiang Shaoyou was really a little hungry, and he was not polite at the moment, he first wiped out the big bowl of boiled meat in one go, and then ate a lot of refined snacks, and after two cups of wine with Huo Wuji, he returned to the topic and asked, "Now Mr. Huo can tell me the purpose of your acquisition of this piece of gold, right?" ”

Huo Wuji smiled when he heard this, first waved his hand, signaling the people waiting around him to leave, and then said, "Little brother, you should already know that I, Huo Wuji, am a world-famous jewelry designer, right?" But what...... Didn't you realize that I, the so-called jewelry designer, were richer than the average entrepreneur or banker? Hehe, this ...... Actually, it's because I'm a jewelry designer, in a sense, I can also be called an alchemist! ”

"What! Refine...... Alchemist! Jiang Shaoyou was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, and he was stunned for a while before he said, "This ...... I've heard of alchemists, but as far as I know...... The goal of this so-called alchemy is to turn some base metals into gold, and science now shows that this method does not work. But until the 19th century, alchemy was not denied by scientific evidence. A number of famous scientists, including Newton, have attempted alchemy, and it was not until the advent of modern chemistry that people doubted the possibility of alchemy. ”

Jiang Shaoyou looked at Huo Wuji with doubts when he said this, and said, "It turns out that the so-called alchemy is impossible to achieve at all, why are you still engaged in this, Mr. Huo?" And also...... This one...... Isn't the so-called alchemy about turning ordinary metals into gold? Then what you want to buy should also be ordinary metal, and why do you want to buy my piece of gold at a high price? ”

Huo Wuji smiled slightly and said, "This is a bit one-sided that you understand!" Actually, alchemy is a name that originated in Europe in the 12th century. And as early as the eighth century AD, alchemy really began. Although alchemy in the beginning was mainly based on the fantasy of being able to smelt some ordinary metals into gold, it gradually changed after the development of the art. This is basically the same situation in both Europe and China, and slowly, the so-called gold production no longer occupies an important position, and the alchemists want to pursue medicine more, and immortality is their main goal. ”

When Jiang Shaoyou heard this, he couldn't help but cry and laugh, and couldn't help asking, "Pursue immortality...... Belch...... Mr. Huo, do you mean that you ...... What immortal elixir can you refine? ”

Speaking of the pursuit of medicine, immortality or something, Jiang Shaoyou only then remembered that in ancient China, alchemists were also called Danshi, in addition to delusional thoughts that they could refine ordinary metals into gold, they often wanted to refine some immortal medicine!

Many emperors in ancient China were bewitched and favored these so-called alchemists, and even took the "immortal medicine" made by those alchemists with metals such as lead and mercury without knowing whether they were alive or dead, and often died earlier! Among them, even Qin Shi Huang, Tang Taizong Li Shimin, etc., these generations of famous emperors who established an immortal foundation are not exempt from vulgarity, which shows how prosperous the market prospects of these alchemists were in ancient times!

It's just that now that the times have changed, with the development of science and technology and the popularization of knowledge and culture, no one should believe this kind of absurd thing, right? How can this Mr. Huo still become a billionaire with this?
