Chapter 34: Red Essence Condensed Lotus Fruit
"Hui'er, my mother was held hostage just now, and my heart is still pounding now, you don't care about me, your mind is all occupied by Ji Lone's kid, and there is no place for your mother anymore. Zhou Qin looked at her with disgust, in fact, she didn't mean to blame her, but she couldn't let her daughter be immersed like this anymore.
Zhou Qin was indeed frightened just now, but Ji Lone's rescue made her calm down immediately, knowing what a strong person is, her impression of him was very deep in an instant, and she was no longer panicked in her heart.
She always felt that Ji Lonely had some kind of reassuring quality, what kind of quality was this, she couldn't say and describe it herself, just the song "Dream Wedding" that he played was beyond the original meaning of the song, if her daughter can marry such a strong man, then, what else can she worry about in the future.
"Hui'er, tell me quickly, what kind of person is this Ji Lone, his martial arts are too powerful, just now, he seems to have caught the bullet. Zhou Min exclaimed: "Moreover, if he jumps down such a high floor, he can walk away, which is too outrageous." β
The sisters Zhou Qin and Zhou Min became interested in Ji Lone, and they both wanted to know more about him. Mai Xinji took out a few tissues and handed them to Wang Hui to wipe his tears, also looking forward to it.
Wang Hui only then gave a general idea of what happened with Ji Lao in the past few days, of course, omitting many details, but it also shocked everyone present. Mai Xinji saw that Wang Hui was full of admiration for Ji Lone, and knew that he was out of play, even if Ji Lone didn't accept her, she wouldn't like herself, so he said: "Ji Lone is indeed not an ordinary person, since you like him so much, then give him time and space." You know, if you pester a man all day long, he will be annoyed. β
Wang Hui nodded, feeling that what Mai Xinji said was also very reasonable, and her chest finally calmed down. And Zhou Qin and Zhou Min saw that Mai Xinji was so generous, he originally wanted to go on a blind date with Wang Hui, but seeing that Wang Hui was so infatuated with Ji Lonely, he was also a rare talent to let go.
......
Ji Lao walked on the street of flowers, his nose fluttered and he smelled a familiar smell, and when he looked up, he saw a medicinal herb shop called "Sue Kangtang", which was decorated in an antique manner, and the faΓ§ade was not big, but it gave people the feeling that this was an old medicinal herb shop with a long history.
The depths of the memory were awakened again, this is the medicinal fragrance of the fruit of the "Red Essence Condensing Lotus", and it is also a good material for concentrating and practicing qi, which is rare in the Liuguang Continent, and it was actually touched by himself on the earth.
Ji Lao walked in excitedly, there was a woman in her early twenties sitting at the counter, her eyebrows were clear and lovely, Ji Lao had a sense of unearthliness when she saw her face for the first time, and sighed in her heart, I didn't expect to see such a pure woman in this downtown area, but after contact, Ji Lao saw a trace of cunning flashing in her eyes, don't be stunned, how can such a simple face have this kind of look. But it is the medicinal herbs that attract him, not the woman, and no matter how beautiful the woman is, it is just a passing moment for Ji Lone, so Ji Lone asked, "May I ask if there is a red essence condensed lotus fruit for sale here?"
A subtle chill flashed in the woman's eyes, but it was fleeting, and she said indifferently: "No, I haven't heard of the name of this medicine, so you better go and see it elsewhere." β
Since he had already come in, and his sense of smell would not betray him, Ji Lao must buy this medicinal material, no matter how expensive it is, so he insisted: "Oh, this medicinal material is called so in my hometown, maybe it is not called this name here, can you let me go over and have a look." β
Of course, the door was opened for business, and the woman had no reason to refuse, so she said lightly: "Okay." β
Ji Lao walked into the counter, swept it with his divine sense, and quickly found the "Red Essence Condensing Lotus Fruit", and said, "I bought all of this 'Red Essence Condensing Lotus Fruit', how much does it cost?"
The woman said indifferently: "This is not called 'Red Essence Condensing Lotus Fruit', but 'Golden Lotus Fruit', you even called the wrong name, what are you buying this for, this is medicine, not fruit, you can't eat it indiscriminately." β
It turned out that this was called "Golden Lotus Fruit", Ji Lonely's memories all came from the Liuguang Continent, and he was on the earth, of course he didn't know what it was called, so he said: "You don't have to worry about this, anyway, if you make a price, I will buy it." β
"This medicinal herb is very expensive young man, I'm afraid you can't afford it. β
Upstairs from the pharmacy walked an old man in his sixties, short, about one meter and a half at most, but tough, and spoke very angrily, and he knew that he was a martial artist at a glance. Ji Lone's divine sense swept over, and he saw a trace of anger flashing in his eyes, knowing that this person was not good, but Ji Lone only needed to buy the medicinal materials, and he didn't care about the rest, so he said, "Tell me about the price." β
"This is a very precious medicinal herb, a thousand pieces per gram. β
One gram and a thousand yuan is not expensive, but Ji Liao couldn't reveal his inner thoughts to him, and said in a somewhat reluctant tone: "It's a little expensive, but I'm really too lazy to look for it anywhere, so okay, I'll buy it all." β
"Zhenzhen, you give me a salutation. β
A trace of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the woman named Zhen Zhen, and she seemed reluctant to sell this medicinal herb, but the old man seemed to be the shopkeeper, so she had to listen, so she weighed it neatly, and quickly said: "Five hundred and five grams, that is, five hundred and five thousand." β
"In this way, I see that you really want to buy this medicinal herb, and you won't accept the fraction, even if it is 500,000. The old man said.
"Do you swipe the card?" Ji Lonely didn't think that this old man would have any good intentions, but he was very excited, as long as he bought this medicinal material, it would be good for his promotion.
"Yes. β
Ji Lao took out the bank card that Zhou Qin gave, but when he handed it to Zhen Zhen, he shrank it back, he didn't ask Zhou Qin for the password just now, he just got rid of Wang Hui, and now he doesn't know her birthday at all. Of course, based on Wang Hui's feelings for herself, she will definitely agree to her birthday, but a man asks a girl for her birthday, which means that they are quite close.
For a while, Ji Lonely was in a dilemma, I was afraid that if I didn't buy it at this time, it would be a pity if someone else bought it. Zhen Zhen glanced at him, and said in a strange voice: "Don't pretend if you don't have that money, how can you afford such a valuable medicinal herb." β
"I bought this herb. A tender hand snatched the bank card from Ji Lone's hand, handed it to Zhen Zhen and said, "You can swipe the card, I know the password." β
"Wang Hui, it's you!" Ji Lao saw that it was Wang Hui, and he was so happy that he forgot what he did to her just now.
Wang Hui pressed the password, then handed the card to Ji Lone, picked up the medicinal herbs and left. Ji Lonely was stunned and hurriedly chased after him.
When the old man saw that Ji Lao and Wang Hui had walked away, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth and said, "Ji Lone, you just wait for death." β
"Uncle Shi, do you really want to get rid of Ji Lone?" Zhen Zhen said.
"I said Zhen Zhen, I just looked at you with the wrong eyes, you shouldn't have taken a fancy to him at a glance, you must know that my brother Guess Eight spent his whole life to create the Skeleton Gang was destroyed by this kid in one day, this revenge is not avenged, how can our Hidden Sect gain a foothold in this world in the future? Everyone in the world knows that the Skeleton Gang is invincible because of me, not to mention, I guess Seven can't swallow this breath. β
"But, after all, this is a secular matter, and it seems that our Hidden Sect is not good at meddling in secular affairs, right?"
"Presumptuous, how did you talk to Uncle Shi, if I find out that you are interesting to him, I don't have good fruit for you to eat. β
The old man's eyes narrowed, Zhen Zhen didn't dare to say anything, as if in order to dispel Uncle Shi's views and concerns about himself, he said: "Uncle Shi, please rest assured, I and this so-called Ji Lonely are just seeing this side, how can I fall in love with him, I just think that the people of our Yin Sect should not meddle in the affairs of the rivers and lakes." β
"I can take care of other things, but I have to take care of my brother's affairs, otherwise, what is the point of me joining the Hidden Sect. β
