Chapter 2 So the bet

Cheng Fei looked back and recognized.

The sworn enemy of the Cheng family, the Cao family, another secular alchemist family in Dongping City, and the seventh grandson of the head of the family, Cao Liβ€”β€”β€”β€” Cao Tian. He is a year older than himself, and he is also named a genius.

This kid is arrogant and arrogant. Relying on the protection of the family, it has become a harm to Dongping City.

Cheng Fei said lightly: "Oh, Cao Tian!

"Huh?"

Hearing Cheng Fei's words, Cao Tian was stunned.

The Cheng family and the Cao family are mortal enemies, as long as there is an opportunity to attack the Cheng family, Cao Tian will never let it go.

In the past, Cheng Fei was not good at words, and almost ignored Cao Tian. Unexpectedly, Cheng Fei suddenly changed his personality today, and invited his sworn enemy to dinner.

Is this a meal, or a suicide by sending sheep into the tiger's mouth?

Cao Tian was stunned, and Cheng Fei took the opportunity to look at several people around him, all of whom knew him: Zhao Feng, Zhao Ming, Qian Wanli, and Sun Shengyou.

These four are the young masters of the three major commercial families in Dongping City. Five people eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and a nest of snakes and rats.

Zhao, Qian, and Sun are veteran business families in Dongping City, which started by selling Heisanlin specialties, mainly focusing on alchemy materials.

They had a close relationship with the Cao family and fought against the Cheng family together. If it weren't for the Cheng family's strength and the strength of the four, it would be really difficult to get it.

Cao Tian reacted and said with a smile: "Cheng Fei, you are in a bad mood, why are you drinking here alone?"

Cheng Fei replied: "It's nothing, come out and relax." But you, why did you come here to eat? Isn't there also a strange beast hall near your Cao family?"

Cao Tianpi said with a smile: "Hehe! I'm too familiar over there, it's not very convenient, change places." ”

"Oh!"

Cheng Fei agreed, ignored them, turned back and continued to drink. However, the divine sense extended out, locking on the five people behind him.

After successfully refining qi, Cheng Fei was already an immortal cultivator, and naturally produced divine consciousness.

The five people present, Cao Tian dared to deal with Cheng Fei, or relying on his own identity as an apprentice of an alchemist. The other four really didn't dare.

Cheng Fei's identity is there. The genius of the alchemist family, can you children of commercial families provoke it?

I saw Cao Tianyi frowning, and quickly glanced at the four people around him. The five of them seemed to reach an agreement in an instant, and then saw Cao Tian running to sit down opposite Cheng Fei.

Cao Tian said with a smile: "Cheng Fei, I feel that you seem to have changed. I don't like to talk like I used to, but I must have realized again, congratulations!"

Cheng Fei first took a sip of wine before saying, "Hehe! Cao Tian, you are really good at talking." I love to hear that. ”

Hearing Cheng Fei's words, Cao Tian felt very uncomfortable, feeling like he was filming Cheng Fei's sycophants.

But he still said with a smile: "Cheng Fei, the reason why the five of us came here to eat this time is actually ......."

"Shut up!"

Cheng Fei directly interrupted Cao Tian's words and said, "I don't dare to care about your affairs, and I'm not interested, so I'd better not open my mouth." ”

Cao Tian's face instantly became extremely ugly, and a fierce color appeared in his eyes, but he immediately covered it up.

But he said, "Hey, don't do that. Speaking of which, in fact, you should have heard about it, it is about Star Emperor Grass.........."

Star Emperor Grass, Cheng Fei knows. It is the main medicinal material for refining the four-grade pill Star Emperor Pill.

Dare to call a "emperor" word, its preciousness can be seen.

The four-grade pill is already a rare and rare thing in the mortal world. There is only one medicinal effect of the Star Emperor Pill, which is to bring the dead back to life.

As long as there is still a breath left, whether you are stabbed or poisoned, eating the Star Emperor Pill will maintain your vitality for at least three months and win time for salvation.

And Star Emperor Grass is an extremely special spiritual material.

Thirty years of growth in the ground, reaching maturity, growing out of the ground for a day, flowering and fruiting, the seeds quickly ripen and drift away with the wind. Then the stems and leaves withered, and thirty years later they reincarnated again to break through the ground.

Its root is the main medicinal material for refining the Star Emperor Pill. Cheng Fei has read it in books, like ginseng, and like carrots.

And every November, it is the time for the star emperor grass to drill out of the ground and sow seeds. The Black Forest outside Dongping City is an ideal environment for Star Emperor Grass to grow.

Cheng Fei said nonchalantly: "Oh, Star Emperor Grass! What's so new about this? Isn't it the same every year?"

Cao Tian hurriedly said: "Of course it's different! This year, the city lord is offering a reward." The others don't say it, if someone from our big families in Dongping City gets the Star Emperor Grass and dedicates it to the city lord. Not only can you get a bounty, but you can also exempt the family from paying taxes for one year. ”

Cheng Fei said in surprise: "That's really a big deal. But what does this have to do with me, Dongping City may not have collected a single Star Emperor Grass for more than ten years. You don't know that?"

Cao Tian said: "It is precisely because of this that the city lord has given us several family discounts, hoping to add glory to Dongping City." How's that, would you be interested in making a bet?"

Cheng Fei asked rhetorically: "Bet? You can also bet on this matter? Could it be that you are sure that your Cao family will be able to collect Star Emperor Grass this year?"

Cao Tian said: "Although it is unlikely that the entire Dongping City can collect a single Star Emperor Grass, I know this. But I have a hunch that there will definitely be Star Emperor Grass this year, and it depends on whose luck is better. ”

Cao Tian paused, looked at Cheng Fei's reaction, and then said: "After all, it hasn't appeared for several years, and it should be out this year." I mean, bet on the fortunes of our two families to see who can find the Star Emperor Grass. Of course, it may not be collected by anyone. ”

Cheng Fei asked, "Since that's the case, then what's the bet?"

Then Cheng Fei couldn't help but ask one more question: "What is the bet?"

Cao Tian saw Cheng Fei asking about the bet, obviously arousing interest. The four people behind Cheng Fei couldn't help but have a cold light in their eyes.

They thought that Cheng Fei didn't see it, but Cheng Fei's divine sense had been shrouding them.

Sure enough, I only heard Cao Tian say: "Actually, it's not much of a bet!"

Then his eyes showed a fierce light, and he said fiercely: "The bet is: the loser must say the four words 'I am not as good as you!' to the winner in public." ”

Cheng Fei looked at Cao Tian in a daze, as if he didn't understand what Cao Tian meant.

Cao Tian smiled and said, "We are all the future of our respective families, and our fortune is the fortune of our family." I am stronger than you, which means that my Cao family will be stronger than your Cheng family in the future. This bet is the fortune of the family, you and I are the representatives, do you dare to take it?"

Cheng Fei was silent for a while before saying, "Well, it's quite new." I'm not interested, though. I can't represent the Cheng family, if you go to Cheng Liang, he may be interested. ”

"You ........ hum ......."

Seeing that Cheng Fei was still unmoved, Cao Tian showed his true colors, no longer being kind to Cheng Fei, snorted fiercely, and walked out of the Strange Beast Hall with the four of them.

Cao Tian originally wanted to use this to suppress the young genius of the Cheng family, but he didn't expect Cheng Fei to be unpopular, so he said "not interested".

Cao Tian dared to bet like this because the Cao family mastered a location where the Star Emperor Grass was unearthed. And this Star Emperor Grass just broke through the ground this year.

Although Xinghuang grass is a medium spirit grass, it is not harsh on the growth environment, and its species are like dandelion seeds, falling with the wind and taking root. It's just that when it's not on the surface, you can't spot it.

But it has one characteristic, that is, it is easy to get together. More than a dozen seeds fell to a few feet square, and if three of them could survive, they would be three Star Emperor Grass thirty years later.

If someone finds the Star Emperor Grass, collect the seeds when the Star Emperor Grass is ripe and plant them on the spot. Then, as long as you remember this place, you or your descendants can come to collect it again in thirty years. That's a fourth-level spiritual material!

But 30 years is too long, and there are too many changes. There is not one in a hundred who can successfully collect Star Emperor Grass after thirty years.

Cao Tian left, and a smile appeared on the corner of Cheng Fei's mouth, thinking about the idea of the Cao family's Star Emperor Grass. If it weren't for Cao Tian's reminder, Cheng Fei really couldn't remember the matter of Star Emperor Grass.

Now Cheng Fei is no longer the little Cheng Fei.
