Chapter 14 No gifts will be accepted for the holidays this year
The news that Yang Xi had been invited back by Isayama spread throughout all the Yin-Yang Dao families in just one night, and early the next morning, a group of exorcists representing each family came to visit.
This situation had long been expected by Isayama, and he had taken complete countermeasures. The hospitality and etiquette are simply impeccable, and he has earned enough reputation in front of those exorcists. For some reason, Yang Xi met with these exorcists from different families. He didn't make any promises, and these exorcists didn't make any requests, just a one-sided gift-giving relationship. Naturally, Yang Xi did not need to go out in person to receive gifts, and Isayama Ming, who was standing beside him, was fully responsible, even so, Yang Xi also felt very tired and tired······ Tired.
I'm really not used to socializing or anything.
However, looking at the pile of gifts that had become a small mountain, I suddenly felt that the fatigue in my body had eased a lot. For the first time, Yang Xi discovered that he actually had the potential to be a money obsesser, could it be the psychological shadow left by the experience of not having money some time ago?
Fortunately, because they didn't know each other well, those exorcists were ordered to give gifts and left satisfied. Gift-giving is just an indication of attitude, and there is no particular reason for it. Even if there was a place where Yang Xi could help, he would not speak immediately, otherwise the little friendliness that he had built up with great difficulty would immediately turn negative. Those who have almost become human spirits will not make such a low-level mistake.
"Phew~ they're finally gone."
Rubbing his face, which had become stiff after laughing all morning, Yang Xi let out an emotional sigh.
"My lord, the list of gifts is here, do you want to take inventory?"
"Well, let's see. I also wanted to know what they had sent. Yang Xi has long been curious about these gifts.
"Understood."
Isayama fully played the role of an assistant, starting with small objects, opening the package the same, presenting the gift in front of Yang Xi, and also shouldering the responsibility of commentary.
Should it be said that it is really worthy of the Yin-Yang Dao family with a long heritage? The gifts given are all treasures that are hard to buy.
More than 300 years of wild ginseng; One of the five swords in the world, the boy Che Angang; Enlightened monks have opened the light and recited Buddhist scriptures infused with mental power all year round······
All in all, these families have shown a strong heritage that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and there is only one sentence for Yang Xi's emotion: how rich they are!
In other words, these things are not necessarily available to money even if you have money.
If nothing else, let's talk about wild ginseng.
Wild ginseng is what we often call ginseng, and in modern Chinese herbal medicine books, it is recorded that ginseng has the functions of greatly replenishing vitality, solidifying and relieving vitality, and calming the nerves and intellect. In the book "Compendium of Materia Medica", it is even listed as a "divine grass".
At the first world collectible ginseng auction in China, 325 wild ginseng was auctioned at a sky-high price of 10 million.
This is RMB! Converted to yen, that's an astronomical amount of nearly 200 million! Yang Xi received a total of 12 wild ginseng, each of which was more than 300 years old. If these families don't treasure better, they don't believe Yang Xi if they kill them. In an instant, Yang Xi had the urge to rob all these families.
Fortunately, these things did not help him much, but they gradually calmed down his greed.
After this incident, Yang Xi's soul has also been better baptized.
At least the possibility of someone trying to buy him with money in the future is minimized. Money is actually like that, as long as it is enough! No matter how much it is, it's just a string of numbers.
Didn't you see that Isayama didn't react at all? What is high society? This is the demeanor that the upper class should show! It is also a place where Yang Xi should go to study. After all, it is a superior demon, and it also belongs to the level of nobility in the demon society. In the future, when I go to those worlds where demons exist, there is no doubt that I will enter this circle. If you get a workout now, you will avoid making a fool of yourself in the future, right?
Suddenly, Yang Xi regretted that he was not selected by the Eastern God Realm, otherwise he would have been able to use alchemy to refine these wild mountain creatures that were more than three hundred years old into pills and make the most of them.
I just don't know if there is a similar technology in the Western God Realm, after all, in the Middle Ages in Europe, alchemy similar to Eastern alchemy was popular.
Whether it's alchemy or alchemy, it's all aimed at refining the elixir of life, so there should be a lot in common, right?
Yang Xi has great expectations for this.
It didn't take long for the gifts to be counted, and Yang Xi was surprised to find that most of these things were only collectible, except for a few things that he could use.
For example, the enlightened monk who has opened the light and recites the Buddhist scriptures infused with mental power all year round······ Do you want Yang Xi to take it and go around to transcend the evil spirits?! Is this something a demon should do?!! Even if it's not a demon, an ordinary person wouldn't do such a thankless job!!!
Similarly, there are ancient witches who injected their spiritual power into the spirit beads, should this thing be worn as a necklace? Put on the red robe and you can COS Inuyasha!
and the skull of an evil dragon and evil spirit, which is said to have been sealed for hundreds of years.
What is this stuff used for soup? Or a cameo as a necromancer summoning a bone dragon as a pet?!
In short, Yang Xi's enthusiasm gradually dropped from the beginning to the freezing point, and he almost completely lost interest.
Pulling out the only eye-catching boy Che Angang, the bright blade exudes a terrifying chill, worthy of the legendary treasure knife. Being able to use this kind of treasure knife that can be regarded as a family heirloom as a gift at least shows that this family is atmospheric enough, even if Yang Xi can't use it at all, it will also increase his favorability a lot.
It was created by Anzuna, a famous craftsman who lived in the province of Hakuhaku during the Heian period, and it is also the crowning masterpiece of his life. After Yuan Laiguang used this knife to kill the ghost god named Liquor Swallowing Boy in the Great River and Mountain, he got this name. This sword was passed down in the Muromachi shogun's family, and was used by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu, and Ietada, and was known as the Five Swords of the World during the Muromachi period.
Some people may not be very familiar with the Wine Swallowing Boy, but if you talk about several other big monsters with the same name as it, it is enough to make a deep impression. The Wine Swallow Boy is one of the strongest and most vicious youkai in Japan, known as the "Three Great Monsters of Japan" along with the white-faced nine-tailed golden fox Tamamo and the Great Tengu incarnated by Emperor Shotoku, and the king of the hundred demons who once ruled the demons.
Regardless of whether the legend is true or not, at least the aura exuded by this knife definitely exceeds that of the Isayama family's treasure sword Lion King, which has been passed down for generations.
Perhaps, the fundamental reason why the Lion King can become the heirloom sword of the Isayama family is that it is sealed with the world's third-ranked powerful spirit beast "Yu".
With a little emotion, Yang Xi put it aside.
I knew that they were giving away such useless things, so it was better not to accept them!
