"The Yuchi family, the thousand-year-old ice side of the Northern Regions. ”

A housekeeper of the Ji family, who was holding a bamboo slip, chanted loudly.

Another tall man dressed in a purple satin robe stood up from the guest seat and walked to the storage place that the Ji family had prepared in front of the high platform with a plate that had been prepared a long time ago.

It was a long table tens of meters long, on which all kinds of gifts were placed in turn.

"What's that?"

Ning Ke'er leaned close to Ji Ruochen's ear, pointed to the plate in the purple-clothed man's hand and asked in a low voice.

Inside that plate was a cube of ice the size of a small thumb cap.

The strange thing is that the ice cube is still bubbling with the cold air of the forest, and the extremely cold air even makes the water mist around the man's body several meters hazy, and it is difficult to distinguish his shape. Anyone who is attentive can see that the man holding the plate wears gloves with crystal thread on both hands, and the gloves are already full of ice crystals.

"It's the thousand-year-old ice of the North. ”

Ji Ruochen recognized it with a slight glance. After all, he has an Aunt Mei who is suspected of being a miracle doctor, and this kind of thing can be used in medicine, and he has also heard of it a little.

"The North City of the Eastern Continent and the North Sea of the Western Continent can be regarded as the coldest places on land. But that's not the coldest place. The coldest places are thousands of miles north of the two continents. There is an iceberg there, known as the Northern Regions. It was a place where whoever went and who died, and no one could approach it unless it was an immortal god who had descended to the earth. That's where the ice came from. It was dug up on the periphery of the Northern Regions. It can relieve most of the cold poison and promote the cultivation of water attribute Dao and magic. You can also refine water-based magic weapons. ”

After Ji Ruochen finished saying this leisurely, the man in purple had already put down the ice and returned to his seat.

"Is that thing expensive?" Ning Ke'er swallowed as she looked at the beautiful ice crystal.

Ruochen couldn't help but smile, but still answered her question.

"It depends on what you trade it for. If it's money, don't think about it, just that plate with cold ice is worth half of your palace in Nanning!"

"So expensive!?" Ning Ke'er glared.

Ji Ruochen nodded and explained, "That plate is a magic weapon, compressing one side, that is, one zhang of cold ice to such a large size, and also isolating most of the cold air, otherwise the person who just held it would not be able to stand it himself." ”

Ning Keer rolled her eyes speechlessly.

"Didn't the Ji family make a lot of money?"

Ji Ruochen shook his head, "The Ji family won't take these things." Most of these things will be returned to the owner in the future, and even if they really want it, they will exchange it for treasures of the same value. ”

Ning Ke'er was dumbfounded: "The Ji family is stupid, so many good things..."

"The Ji family is not stupid. ”

Ji Ruochen shook his head again and interrupted Ning Ke'er's words: "They don't bother to ask for these things. These things are nothing in the eyes of the Ji family!"

How could Ning Keer's knowledge know how terrible the name Ji family was?

Even if these things add up, they are ten million times worse than the foundation of the strongest family?

The two continued to talk without saying a word.

There are also more and more things in the storage area. And Ji Lingtian never raised his eyes to look at them from beginning to end.

Not only is it inappropriate, but it is also because the people of the Ji family, especially Ji Lingtian, have their own pride and disdain to fall into the trap of ordinary etiquette.

At this moment, in the name of the gift list, a name that did not exist appeared in the first place.

"Daoyou Ji Ruochen, where is your congratulatory gift?"

The person reading the gift list suddenly turned around and asked Ji Ruochen.

"Congratulatory gift?

Ji Ruochen stood up and was stunned.

What's going on!?

Ji Ruochen instantly felt like he had been fooled.

Was he treated like an outsider when he went back to his home!?

A sense of shame arises...

With what he has in hand, how can he get the kind of treasure that can easily replace several cities just now!?

Deliberately humiliating me?

The guests present talked a lot, and everyone saw that Ji Ruochen stood up from the dignity of the Ji family. He, isn't he from the Ji family?

Looking at him again, he looks like a child. Could it be that the person reading the gift list made a mistake?

"Where's your New Year's gift?"

The steward who read the list asked again.

Obviously, he wasn't mistaken! That's what he wanted to do!

At this time, Ji Lingtian had also opened his eyes. He looked at the steward, and then at the embarrassed Ji Ruochen, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but he didn't show it.

He also watched quietly.

Ji Ruochen clenched his teeth, and the blood vessels in his hands were about to burst.

He looked at the ground, silently bearing the shame.

Damn! Damn! This is my home! What have I done wrong to humiliate me here!?

Ji Ruochen thought angrily.

Ning Ke'er on the side looked at him with concern.

This sudden drastic change was unexpected, and even Ji Ling and Ji Cheng, who were watching on the other side, never thought of it!

The scene was silent for a while!

After a while, Ji Ruochen raised his head weakly.

He didn't look at Ning Keer, he didn't look at the steward, and he didn't look at all the people around him.

He looked up at Ji Lingtian on the high platform.

Ji Lingtian was also looking at him.

Grandfather...

Ji Ruochen's heart moved. Turning his head, he glanced at the few people who were secretly snickering. And the steward with the pleasure of revenge in his eyes.

I see...

Ji Ruochen picked the corners of his mouth.

Those guys who have old grudges with him finally can't help but take action!

This kind of guy who is angry with others and uses such dishonorable means...

Although Ji Ruochen's anger dissipated most of it, he had no intention of giving in!

"Ji Ruochen Daoyou, don't you have any congratulatory gifts? As a person who was expelled by the Ji family, you are considered a guest here, and if you are a guest, you have to bring a congratulatory gift, this is a rule, you don't need me to teach you, right?"

The steward said coldly.

Ji Lingtian on the stage frowned. It seems that I am finally ready to take care of this matter.

"Da... Click..."

At this moment, Ji Ruochen walked out by himself, holding a jade pendant in his hand, and walked straight to the steward.

“......”

Ji Ruochen glanced at the Ji family steward coldly, directly handed over the jade pendant to him, and went back to his place.

The steward was given a cold look by Ji Ruochen, and some sweat oozed from his back, waiting for him to come back to his senses. Ji Ruochen has returned to his seat.

He looked at the jade pendant in his hand and laughed, "Everyone, the congratulatory gift he gave turned out to be a hundred-year-old jade dragon crystal nucleus!"

The hundred-year-old jade dragon crystal nucleus is the heart of the hundred-year-old jade dragon. This jade dragon is actually a pocket poisonous snake covered in jade, which is extremely poisonous. With the difference in qualifications and cultivation environment, a jade dragon with a hundred years of cultivation may be an existence from the fourth order to the sixth order, but just its special poison is enough to make it difficult for opponents who are one order higher than it to deal with. Combined with its compact size and terrifying speed, it is definitely a tough opponent.

A jade dragon, after its death, the jade of its corpse will all be condensed into its crystal nucleus heart, making it a peerless piece of jade.

This jade is capable of carving many magic tools and charms. But in the end, it's just decoration, but it's not a precious thing. As a result, the jade dragon has become an extremely unpleasant existence.

It's hard to deal with, and there's little benefit. Many people choose to stay away when they see the jade dragon. However, I'm afraid it's more of a deterrent to its strength, right?

"That's my gift. Ji Ruochen returned to his seat and repeated.

In an instant, the entire ancient hall was lively again. All kinds of discussions, contempt, are full of Ji Ruochen's ears. But he didn't have the slightest anger.

Indeed, it is shabby to use this kind of thing as a congratulatory gift. The most ordinary of the things just given away are worth a hundred times as much!

Ji Lingtian glanced at Ji Ruochen, who was standing there without a trace of abnormality.

I was stunned.

This self-confidence, this momentum, how much like a person?

Ji Cheng Kaede!

He hadn't seen this kid in years. As soon as they met, it reminded him of Ji Chengfeng's childhood.

How similar was Ji Chengfeng and Ji Ruochen at that time? No matter what others said, he was always the most confident!

At this time, the steward was still laughing uncontrollably.

However, when he found out that Ji Ruochen was not annoyed and angry, but looked at him like a clown.

He finally couldn't help himself, "Fellow Daoist Ji Ruochen, don't you think it's very impolite for this thing to appear here?"

The steward casually threw the jade pendant and said.

"Yes. ”

Ji Ruochen nodded: "It's not precious. ”

Ji Ruochen said very calmly.

There was silence all around, and everyone waited for him to continue.

"But it's the first fifth-order monster I've killed myself. So I'll just keep it with me. I came in a hurry today, and this is the only thing I have for my personal belongings, so it's no wonder. ”

Ji Ruochen was very mature and explained the value of this jade pendant.

"Shhhhh

Everyone present couldn't help but gasp!

At the age of less than ten years, slay a fifth-order demon beast! And he is also known as one of the most difficult demon beasts!

What kind of monster is this?

Everyone present was shocked. All the representatives of the family and the masters of the other three major families, Ji Lingtian, and even Ning Ke'er were shocked!

Even Ning Ke'er didn't know that the jade pendant that Ji Ruochen wore every day turned out to be this origin!

All the people who were shocked couldn't help but compare the so-called genius in their hearts with Ji Ruochen. But I found that no one could compare to him! Even the Sword God Ji Chengfeng of the Bright Moon Pavilion was still a little ghost who didn't even have a reputation at this age!

Ji Ruochen looked at the steward's colorful expression with satisfaction and sat down.

That jade dragon was indeed a good one he killed. But the reality is complicated. That time, he almost lost his life!

Ji Ruochen looked up at Ji Lingtian. only to find that he had already put away his shocked expression, and sat there as calm as always.

"Since this jade pendant is so important to Ruochen Daoyou, then our Ji family will accept it. Liehai, this steward is old, and he may have misreported the names of some guests, so you can ask him to find a place to retire. ”

On the high platform, Ji Lingtian actually took the initiative to speak.

"Yes. ”

Ji Ruochen bowed his head, and a tall figure stood up. Although his body is still strong, his gray beard does not hide his age.

He is over a hundred years old. It's because of cultivation that he doesn't look like he's in his fifties.

This person is his second grandfather, Ji Lingtian's younger brother, and the great elder of the Ji family.

That's it. The steward was taken down by several people from the Ji family. Until the moment he walked out of the door, his eyes were still looking at Ji Ruochen incredibly.

That jade pendant was placed in the most conspicuous place in the storage place!

Its existence, not because of its value, but because of its owner, at this moment refreshed another height of genius in everyone's hearts!
