Chapter 63: Don't Bully Me For Not Reading Enough
"Good. Yi Chen was as good as a stream, and closed the lid of the box again, "But senior, don't say half of what you say, when is the 'best time to take it'?"
"Do you still need to ask?" Hu Zhongxian looked at the idiot with a look, "Come on, tell me, what is the specific effect of the Red Spirit Fruit?"
"Well, for ordinary people, it is mainly to replenish blood and qi and strengthen the body, but for cultivators, it is an elixir that can greatly enhance cultivation. ”
"Yes, what else?"
"And then there's the talisman master. Yi Chen smiled and said, "The Red Spirit Fruit is eaten raw, it is extremely helpful for rune cultivation, especially for a fire-type rune master like me, not to mention the benefits." In addition, the branches, leaves, and peels of the red spirit fruit are mixed with red phosphorus sand after being mashed, and diluted with a small amount of salt water, which can be made into high-grade rune ink. Ay...... In short, all of them are treasures, and they are very useful!~"
"Heh, you've said so much, let me ask again, what's the biggest benefit of this thing for you?"
Yi Chen thought for a moment, nodded and smiled: "Okay, I understand what my predecessor meant, you want me to wait until the rune cultivation reaches a bottleneck, and then borrow the Red Spirit Fruit to break through in one fell swoop, right?"
"Ha, if you are smart, give me this fruit first, I will keep it for you, and when the time comes, I will remind you. ”
After saying that, Huzhong Immortal's big sleeves rolled up the wooden box, turned into a wisp of green smoke, and burrowed into the gourd.
"Hey, hey, senior, don't bring such a play, right? It was given to me!" Yi Chen hurriedly untied the gourd and barked several times at the mouth of the gourd.
Unfortunately, a certain old bastard seems to have made up his mind to play stupid, and no matter how much he screams, he resolutely refuses to show up again......
"Shameless!" Yi Chen could only scold a few times angrily, and at the same time cursed the old guy's ancestor three times in his heart.
"Hey, it's early in the morning, why are you scolding, who messed with you?" Chao Yan's voice suddenly sounded from behind the window, and he arrived at the door in a few steps.
With her, there is also Qingyun, these two little girls have been on a good relationship recently, they get together when they have nothing to do, and they don't know what they are muttering all day long.
"No, I'm scolding and playing. Yi Chen hurriedly pinned the gourd back to his waist, greeted him with a smile and said, "Why are you here?"
"Of course I came to see you. As soon as Chao Yan came in, he sat down on the chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "I said, you are recovering so well, why don't you go out and walk more, move, punch or something, don't you feel bored in the room?"
"What's boring, I'm a reader, so I should sit in the meditation room and indulge in the books of the sages. ”
"You ......"
"Also, you said boxing or something, I'm sorry, I'm a scholar, I'm weak, and I can't play a little, so you should come, I'll see you fight. ”
"You're enough!" Chao Yan rolled his eyes and punched him angrily, "Just you, are you weak?
"Of course, you must be mistaken. Yi Chen swore with a sworn face, "How could such a gentle and elegant person as I do such a brutal thing?" Zi said that the gentleman does not move his mouth, and as a scholar, I should strictly follow the teachings of Confucius. ”
"Come less!" Chao Yan snorted, and said angrily: "Don't bully me for not reading as much as you, did Kong Sheng, his old man say this?"
"Ha, you also know that you don't read as much as I do, so you still ask?"
"You ......" Chao Yan was choked by him, and he wanted to hit someone.
Yi Chen had a lot of eyes, and he was busy when he saw this.
After a while, this Nizi snorted, threw an invitation card in her hand on the coffee table, and pouted: "Here you are, this is someone who asked me to hand it over to you myself." ”
"Oh?" Yi Chen picked it up and looked at it. It turned out to be a banquet invitation, the time was this afternoon, and the location was in Wangjiang Tower.
"Who gave this to you?" he asked casually.
"Steward Wang of Ye Mansion, Xiao Yun and I happened to meet him on the way here, so he handed over this thing to us, let us transfer it to you, and specially told you that your little prodigy is the protagonist of the afternoon banquet, please be sure to be on time, don't delay." ”
"Oh. Yi Chen glanced at the specific time on the invitation card again, and casually put it in his arms.
"How is it, how are you going to go in the afternoon?~"
"What's going on?" Yi Chen didn't understand for a while.
"Clothes. Chao Yan pointed to his whole body, and said with a smile: "Your original set of clothes has long been worn in the battle, and now this set is temporarily found by the people of the Ye Mansion, and it is said that it is the clothes that Ye Zichang wore when he was a child, and it is just right for you to try it." ”
"What??" Yi Chen's eyes widened immediately, "Ye ...... He...... What did he wear??"
"yes, what do you think?"
"I'll go!" Yi Chen snorted, disgusted with the set of clothes on his body, if it weren't for the two girls next to him, he would definitely have to take off his clothes on the spot.
"Now, what are you going to do?~" Chao Yan gloated.
"Do you still need to ask, Qingyun, come with me. Yi Chen immediately took Yahuan's little hand and stepped out of the door with his feet.
"Hey, wait for me, together. Chao Yan also chased out with a smile.
The three of them left Ye Mansion and rushed towards the nameless inn where Yi Chen had stayed before.
On the way, Chao Yan dragged Yi Chen to the ready-to-wear shop on the street, and bought a good set of clothes, saying that he could wear them at the banquet in the afternoon.
Yi Chen has always cared about wearing a god horse, but he can't stand the chatter of this little aunt and grandmother in his ear......
What "This banquet is a formal occasion, and if you are not well-dressed, you have a bad attitude and are disrespectful to all the adults and students!"
"When the time comes, everyone will be dressed brightly, and you will be dressed in tatters and shabby alone, why, do you have to show your celebrity style and style, and be different?"
Arguments like this are endless, and Yi Chen was stunned when he heard it.
God, this girl usually has a bad mouth, why does she immediately feel like a person when she talks about what she wears?
At the insistence of his aunt and grandmother, Yi Chen finally bought a set of clothes that looked acceptable.
By the time the three of them returned to the inn, it was nearly noon.
Not long after Yi Chen entered his room, the shopkeeper came up and knocked on the door with a man of medium stature, a round face and big ears.
"What are you two doing?" Yi Chen opened the door with a puzzled expression.
What did he think of the fat man, and he couldn't remember where he had seen it, why did Xiao Er bring him to knock on his door? Could it be ......
"Ahaha, Yi Gongzi, I have admired your name for a long time, and I have admired it for a long time, but when I saw it today, it was really a hero who was young, handsome and graceful!hahaha!~"
As soon as the fat man came up, he slapped a sycophant, which was obviously a rhetoric that had been prepared a long time ago.
Yi Chen glanced at him a few times, and probably guessed the identity of the other party in his heart, so he couldn't help but smile and arch his hand.
Seeing this, Xiao Er hurriedly came up and said with a sneer: "Yi Gongzi, let me introduce you, this is our Wu shopkeeper, you are participating in the imperial examination this time, and our shopkeeper is everywhere, and he has been applauding and cheering for you." ~”
"Oh, it turned out to be Boss Wu, thank you for your support, it's an honor. Yi Chen hurriedly said politely, as for how credible Xiao Er's words were, it was not clear, and he was not interested in asking.
Shopkeeper Wu continued to shush and ask for warmth, is it still comfortable to live in? The food is still satisfied...... I really asked a lot of questions.
Yi Chen patiently replied one by one.
In the end, the shopkeeper of Wu "accidentally" spit out his intention - in fact, it is nothing, that is, I heard that the little prodigy was the first in the third test, especially good at poetry and runes, so I wanted to ask the little prodigy to give him a plaque for this inn.
For this kind of request that is not a request, Yi Chen naturally will not refuse, anyway, he just writes a few words, it doesn't take much effort, he should make a friend.
Xiao Er immediately presented pen and ink, Yi Chen waved his pen, and wrote a few big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing in a chic manner.
Wu shopkeeper looked at it, smiled from ear to ear, although he didn't know any calligraphy, but the word little prodigy looked comfortable, but there was an inexplicable sense of beauty.
Yi Chen helped others inscribe a plaque, of course, it is not all without benefits, at least the expenses in the past few days have been exempted, which is very good.
When the sun went down and it was getting late, he straightened his clothes and set off for the banquet.
Tonight's Wangjiang Tower is particularly lively, because Lord Shouye of the county has set up a banquet here to entertain all the examiners, as well as the mountain chiefs and academicians of various colleges, as well as some candidates who are ranked higher in this year's scientific examination, to celebrate the successful holding of the scientific examination.
Of course, these people alone were not lively enough, so many local officials, gentry and famous literati were also invited to attend the feast.
Among all the guests, the people who attracted the most attention were undoubtedly the people from White Horse Academy, after all, they were the biggest winners of this examination.
Although they sent a total of eight people to participate in the test, and seven of them became cannon fodder at the bottom, they couldn't stand a little prodigy who was the first in the three tests!~
He alone is enough to pull back the "average score", and the eyes of the masses have always only focused on who is the first, who cares about the many details behind you?
Under the leadership of Lord Shouye, the group of White Horse Academy enjoyed unprecedented congratulations and praise, and they felt flattered, and everyone was about to float.
"Lao Wu, pinch me. "Zhao Jinde, who was in charge of teaching Yi Chen's Fu Dao, Master Zhao suddenly felt a little dizzy.
Although on the way here, he had already heard the messenger tell about Yi Chen's victory in the first place in the third test, but when he really arrived in Wangjiang Tower, he still felt a little like he was in a dream.
"Good. The head of the martial arts sect was not polite at all, and immediately reached out and pinched his shoulder.
"Hiss...... "Master Zhao's pain! If it weren't for the scruples of so many people next to him, maybe he would have screamed."
Seeing this, the head of the martial arts sect couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay Lao Zhao, what a big deal, I told you a long time ago, Yi Chen's kid is definitely not a thing in the pool, and sooner or later he will soar into the sky, how about it, who still has any doubts now?"
