In the early morning, the clouds and mist are shrouded in the pale expanse, and even though the climate is close to the depths of winter, the birds are still singing and fragrant, as if they are early spring.

On a boulder on the mountain behind Danfeng, Chu Ming sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his hands sealed in the dantian, and the Tianyan internal meridian in his body continued to run Zhou Tian, driving the spiritual power to fill the limbs and hundreds of remains.

He breathed steadily, his thoughts dissipated, and he didn't even notice a few birds stepping on top of his head.

"Hoo ——!"

About half an hour later, with the sound of a dull breathing, the birds fluttered and flew into the distance, while Chu Ming slowly opened his deep eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"It's still this Danfeng full of aura!"

Chu Ming pulled out his personal panel, looking at the cultivation of the sevenfold stage of the Qi Refining Realm, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

In the past, I always complained about why the protagonist stayed in the Qi Refining Realm for so long, but now that I think about it, there are really some doorways.

First of all, in the entire world of cultivating immortals, the monks of the Qi Refining Realm accounted for not to mention ninety percent, but at least about ninety.

Most ordinary people can only cultivate to the first or second level of the Qi Refining Realm, and those with a little talent are only three or four levels at most.

As a result, the Qi Refining Realm encounters the most people and things, and opportunities and crises coexist.

The second and most important point is that the physique and dantian in the early stage are very weak, and once you take high-quality Tiancai Dibao, there will always be a danger of exploding.

After that, when you cultivate, you will be able to upgrade your drug addiction.

"Then if you think about it like this, if you are invincible in the Qi Refining Realm, isn't it equivalent to surpassing ninety percent of the people in this immortal cultivation world?"

A gleam flashed in Chu Ming's eyes, and his heart suddenly became confident.

Gou Gou found that he seemed to be able to walk sideways in the immortal cultivation world?

I'm so strong!

"Then reward yourself with a day off."

Chu Ming stretched his waist and jumped off the boulder, clasped the back of his head with both hands, and walked towards his mansion with a leisurely expression.

"Anyway, I'm going to leave tomorrow to participate in the alchemy competition, so let's explain the things at home to Xiaoying today, so as not to have any accidents."

Chu Ming was silently thinking about the things to deal with today, but as soon as he returned to the gate of the mansion, he found a team of carriages parked on the path at the door.

The leader is a maid dressed as a maid, wearing a plain white dress, and Hua Xiaoying is communicating with a pen and paper without knowing what they are doing.

“？”

Chu Ming looked slightly stunned, and after Hua Xiaoying noticed his arrival, she quickly ran to him and held up the small notebook.

"Brother Chu, you can be counted as back, someone here is looking for you, claiming that he is a member of the Xu family, and specially came to the door with a thin gift to thank you."

The Xu family?

Thank?

Chu Ming looked at the pretty maid standing not far away with a puzzled expression, and then his expression suddenly changed.

No wonder she looks so familiar.

Isn't this the personal maid next to Xu Wanshu?!

"Young Master Chu."

Seeing Chu Ming coming, the maid hurriedly came to the front and bowed, her eyelids drooped slightly, and her tone was humble.

"The slave's name is Xiaohong, and she was specially ordered by her wife to come to the door with some light gifts to thank her. If you don't dislike ......"

Before she finished speaking, she felt a whirlwind in front of her, her consciousness was dizzy, her reddened face became extremely hot, and the whole person unconsciously stretched out her hands and leaned towards Chu Ming, her eyes full of the shape of love.

Not good!

Chu Ming secretly screamed, and hurriedly said to Hua Xiaoying on the side.

"Xiao Ying, feed her a meditation pill!"

Hearing this, Hua Xiaoying hurriedly stretched out her arms and stopped between Xiaohong and Chu Ming, reached out and took out a "Meditation Pill" and stuffed it into her mouth.

After a while, the heat in Xiaohong's eyes gradually subsided, and he looked around a little confusedly, and then his face turned red and he hurriedly took a step back and knelt down violently, trembling and saying.

"The slave maid is disrespectful, and he tried to do something indecent to Gongzi Chu just now, and the slave and maid deserve death!"

"It's not your fault, it's me who is too charming, alas!"

Chu Ming couldn't help but sigh lightly.

Maybe I have to suppress the "charming" passive effect of the "Chaos Yin and Yang Body" through special means.

This is also a little more lethal to ordinary people!

If you go out, won't you have to be surrounded by warblers in an instant?

Maybe there's something going on......

Chu Ming was full of cleverness, hurriedly stepped forward to help Xiaohong up, and changed the topic with a gentle smile.

"How is the Xu family's business lately?"

"Good."

Seeing that Chu Ming did not blame himself for his rudeness, Xiaohong felt a faint touch in her heart, and said with a happy face.

"Thanks to the 'Qi Condensing Spirit Pill' and 'Ice Soul Pill' made by Gongzi Chu, our Xu family's Baibao Pavilion business, which had been silent for a long time, has been renewed again!"

"Many people came to buy it, and there was even an outer gate steward of Tianyan Sect!"

"Because the quality of the two pills you made is so high, they are so popular that we have to go through auctions, but they are still in short supply."

Is business so hot?

Chu Ming couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Casually refining some ordinary five-grade pills can be so popular, which proves that this Tianyan Sect's high-grade Dan master is really rare!

That's not what Dan Xiu is not going to do?

I don't know what the group of Supreme Elders in charge of the Tianyan Sect think, do they only care about cultivation and don't manage the sect?

"Of course, all of this is the credit of Gongzi Chu, and our Xu family is just helping you sell pills."

Xiaohong sensibly handed the bill to Chu Ming and said softly.

"In this week, our Xu family auctioned a total of twenty 'Qi Condensing Spirit Pills' and twenty 'Ice Soul Pills', with an average of about six medium-grade spirit stones each, a total of 243 medium-grade spirit stones, you can see."

"So tall?"

Chu Ming glanced at the bill casually and returned it, and then wondered.

"Look at the meaning you wrote above, are you planning to give me all these 243 medium-grade spirit stones? Don't you take a cut of it yourself? ”

"Madam said, being able to make so much money is thanks to your kindness to Master Chu, our Xu family is just helping, and we don't dare to think about it."

“……”

Boy!

The first time I saw the consignee, I didn't take a commission!

It is worthy of being a big family that can control seventy percent of the industry in Beifang City, this calculation is really shrewd.

I'd rather give up this not a small amount of money, let me owe a favor, and bet that I'm not a heartless and unrighteous person.

If this goes on like this for a long time, they will only earn more through favors.

Chu Ming touched the bridge of his nose and smiled helplessly, there was no sense of anger in his heart, but he couldn't help but be full of approval.

This Xu Wanshu really has a set of business, and she really won the bet!

"I've refined about twenty more 'Qi Condensing Spirit Pills' and 'Ice Soul Pills' during this time, you can sell them for me before you leave."

"Okay, Master Chu."

Seeing that Chu Ming was willing to continue to cooperate, Xiaohong breathed a long sigh of relief and said with gratitude on her face.

"There is one more thing that needs to be told to Young Master Chu."

"Thanks to your connections, Gongzi Chu, the steward of Beifang City really made a move against the Wang family."

"They seized most of the illegal sales of the Wang family, closed down some of the Wang family's shops on the grounds of unfair competition, and returned the land deeds that were defrauded from us unconditionally."

"Oh?"

Chu Ming raised his eyebrows, his expression slightly surprised.

This is quite efficient!

It's just that when I met with the old man Shengdan a few days ago, I mentioned it, but I didn't expect him to arrange for someone to solve the matter so quickly.

The needle does not poke!

"But I think you have something else going on?"

Looking at Xiaohong's tangled appearance that wanted to speak and stopped, Chu Ming said softly and indifferently.

"There's no need to hide it, just say it."

"This time, the lady has repeatedly warned the slave and maid to be cautious in words and deeds, but there is one thing that the slave and maid do not vomit."

Xiao Hongcheng lowered her eyelids slightly in fear, and let out a long sigh with a sad look.

"Although the Wang family returned the title deeds of some of our properties, our family owner exported these land deeds again!"

"I can't control that."

When Chu Ming heard this, he spread his hands and said that he had nothing to do.

After all, real gamblers will never look back, they will only sink deeper and deeper into it, and even if they lose thousands of fortunes in betting, they feel that they are just unlucky.

To sum up, betting on dogs will die!

"I understand, but I can't bear to see Madame suffer like this anymore."

Xiaohong's eyes were slightly red, and she cried out in tears.

"Because the head of the family lost a gamble in the gambling house, he got drunk in the Miao Nu Fang every day, and did not come home until late at night, and he poured all his anger on his wife"

"Don't say foul language, insults, and sometimes even beat people! If it hadn't been for a few of our subordinates to stop us, Madame would have ...... long ago."

"Tsk, let your wife leave!"

Chu Ming frowned dissatisfiedly after snorting lightly.

"Don't tell me Mrs. Xu, she still misses the old love."

"It's been completely cut off a long time ago."

Xiaohong wiped away her tears and said helplessly.

"Madame has long considered the matter of reconciliation and separation, but if she does this, if she divorces, how can she have a place for her in the future?"

“……”

Chu Ming held his chin and pondered for a moment, and then suddenly as if he had thought of something, he pointed to the long carriage behind Xiaohong and said in confusion.

"Putting aside the affairs of your wife for the time being, what are these things for?"

"This is a small gift prepared by Madame for Young Master Chu."

Regarding Chu Ming's sudden change of topic, although Xiaohong was a little puzzled, she didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly opened the curtain of the carriage at the front and showed him the wooden box full of inside.

"Including all kinds of spar herbs, pill materials, seeds, magic weapons, exercises, etc., a little caution is not respectful."

"These are all for me?"

Chu Ming pointed to his nose with a look of surprise on his face, but when he saw Xiaohong nodding sincerely with a face full of face, a strange thought suddenly sprouted in his heart.

This Xu Wanshu shouldn't be relying on me, right?

Bribing me with such a generous gift is a way to make me owe a greater favor.

In this way, there is no reason not to help her solve her troubles and rescue her from the dire situation......

Chu Ming looked at the three or four carriages behind Xiao Hong, and his cheeks couldn't help twitching slightly.

So many things, you tell me that it is a thin gift?

The stakes are too big!

Isn't she afraid that I will take these things and do nothing?

Or has she been forced to have no way out but to clung to my life-saving straw?

Chu Ming stepped forward and opened the wooden box with a complicated mood, and found that it was full of spars.

After a moment of deep thought, he turned his head and asked in a whisper.

"Mrs. Xu, she gave me so many things, your family master doesn't know?"

"Uh......"

Xiaohong didn't say a complete sentence for a long time, and finally said with a lonely expression under Chu Ming's sharp scrutiny.

"Although Madame won't let me say it, I feel the need to inform you Gongzi Chu."

"Because the head of the family is the actual controller of our Xu family, most of the property is recorded in his name, and the wife only helps to manage it, and has no right to transfer funds."

"These things are all the things that Madame has secretly saved in recent years with her own income......"

"All?"

Chu Ming frowned slightly, and then came to the second carriage, and after lifting the curtain and opening the wooden box, he found that there were some women's gold and silver jewelry, silk fabrics, and even some of them were very worn, to the point that they could not be used.

Is this moving the whole family to me?

“！？”

Chu Ming's eyes widened suddenly, and at this moment, he suddenly realized that he suddenly understood Xu Wanshu's true intentions.

She doesn't plan to come into my house one day, does she?

It's too big to play, so I really don't leave a way back for myself!

Chu Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly, closed the wooden box and patted his hands, then came to Xiaohong and said softly.

"I'll take the first carriage gratefully, and you can pull the rest back then."

“……”

As soon as she heard this, Xiaohong's heart suddenly chuckled, and her face was full of despair and she wanted to bite her lip without saying a word.

Obviously, the meaning of Chu Ming's words is self-evident.

I only have a cooperative relationship with your wife, and I don't want to have any emotional entanglements, and I can't do anything about her housework, so please do it.

"Young Master Chu, wait!"

“？”

Chu Ming turned around and just wanted to pull the carriage into the mansion, but then he was stopped in front of him by Xiaohong, and handed over a letter respectfully with both hands.

"This is a letter from my wife to you, can you take a look?"

Letter?

Chu Ming opened the envelope suspiciously, and after a few glances at the letter, his expression suddenly became solemn, and his originally indifferent eyes were filled with complex emotions as he continued to read.

There is no superfluous emotion in the whole letter, and the juanxiu font only reveals a tone from beginning to end.

Love and joy.

Wait a minute!

A sexy young woman who is nearly 30 years old and still plump falls in love with a 17-year-old boy at first sight?

Make no mistake!

Am I so attractive?

Chu Ming's old face turned red, and even a person like him, who was very arrogant, continued to read with some embarrassment when he looked at the sweet words between the lines, and hurriedly folded it and put it away.

He breathed a sigh of relief and said indifferently to Xiaohong.

"I see."

“……”

Xiaohong clutched the hem of her skirt with both hands and wanted to stop talking, but was suddenly interrupted by Chu Ming's voice.

"I'll put my words first, I can't make any promises to your wife, these are just her wishful thinking."

"But I will help her solve all the troubles around her, and this will be regarded as a favor for your wife."

Listening to the previous paragraph, Xiaohong's face was still lonely, but when Chu Ming mentioned that he wanted to help his wife get out of the fire, his originally gloomy eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly bowed and thanked him excitedly.

"Thank you so much, Young Master Chu! I will convey the good news to Madame! ”
