Chapter 60 [Unconventional Play? ]

Chapter 59 [Unconventional Play? ]

The next morning, Luo Qing came out of the teahouse and made an appointment with a contractor. While the contractor had not returned home before the New Year, he asked the contractor to bring people to Luo Yunzhai to take a look at the site and then estimate the price of rebuilding the west wing and the main hall.

He had morning tea before going out, and drove all the way to the commercial district. After parking the car in the parking lot, he walked all the way to Luo Yunzhai, and saw from a distance the contractor he had made an appointment with and his men standing at the door of the store.

Luo Qing staggered over and said hello, then unlocked the door and led the contractor's men through the shop to the backyard.

"The west wing of the third courtyard collapsed, and half of the main hall collapsed. Can you help me figure out how much it would cost to renovate it?"

As he was speaking, after entering the third courtyard, Luo Qing suddenly shut his mouth.

The contractor behind him stared at this "backyard" and looked at Boss Luo in confusion.

"Um...Boss Luo, did you tell me something wrong before? It's not a renovation, it's a complete rebuild, right?"

At this moment, in front of Luo Qing's eyes, the third courtyard behind his own Luo Yunzhai...

Apart from the courtyard wall which is still intact, the originally collapsed west wing is still in its original state.

The east wing was also razed to the ground, turning into a pile of broken bricks and tiles.

The main hall...it had only collapsed halfway, but now the roof and walls are gone, leaving only a few pillars still standing there stubbornly.

"Boss Luo, this is a big job. The price we mentioned before is definitely not enough."

"Mr. Luo, this house is an antique building belonging to the street. If you want to rebuild it, do you have the street's permission?"

"Also, Mr. Luo, if it's a house on the street, I'll need a permit to renovate it. Otherwise, I'm afraid of being inspected..."

"By the way, Mr. Luo, does the shape and style of the renovated house need to be consistent with the surrounding buildings? I heard that there are official regulations on this type of house...

Hey! Mr. Luo! Mr. Luo, what’s wrong with you? Mr. Luo!

The contractor was chattering away when he saw Luo Qing beside him suddenly fall headfirst to the ground.

I hurried over to take a look and saw Uncle Qing lying on the ground, his face pale, his lips trembling, and he was muttering something.

I listened closer and finally understood:

"My money... my money... my money..."

Chen Yan and Gu Xiaoniang were having breakfast.

Soy milk + vegetable bun.

The vegetable buns here are very good. The filling is made of vegetables and black fungus, and is mixed with sesame oil. Your mouth is filled with fragrance when you take a bite.

Gu Qingyi drank a cup of soy milk and ate eight fist-sized buns in one go.

Chen Yan frowned as he watched from the side.

"Pack a few more to take back, they can be used as lunch, right?" After eating and drinking his fill, Gu Qingyi wiped his mouth and looked at Chen Yan a little embarrassedly.

Chen Yan sighed.

Buy it, buy it, it’s just a few buns - supporting the elders is a traditional virtue.

"Oh, I almost forgot to ask you. You were quite skilled at demolishing someone's house last night. Have you done this kind of thing before?"

On the way, Chen Yan was carrying a big bag of buns and walking side by side with Gu Qingyi. He suddenly remembered and asked this question.

Gu Qingyi looked into the distance again, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Chen Yan didn't think much about it and directly sent two photos to Boss Fang on WeChat - real photos of the scene after the backyard of Luo Yunzhai was razed to the ground.

The man wasn't beaten, but the house was demolished. That still meant Luo Qing was seriously injured, right?
Sure enough, a moment later, the boss replied with a thumbs-up emoticon.

I returned to the villa area and headed home. As soon as I reached the gate of the villa, I saw a truck with the words "Happy Moving" printed on the carriage parked at the gate of another villa in the distance.

Several movers in uniform were busy moving furniture out of the yard.

"The neighbor next door has moved." Chen Yan took a look and said, "The feng shui here is pretty good, why did they move away?"

Gu Qingyi took a look and suddenly said, "I remember you said that you are renting this house now, right? The people next door have moved out. Do you want to go ask and buy a house if it's available?"

"No money!" Chen Yan shook his head.

I only have a few hundred thousand in cash.

Well... However, we can consider finding a way to get back the gold, jewelry, jade and other items in the Hong Kong City safe.

Gold worth tens of millions doesn't seem like a lot.

But those jades are worth a lot of money. Chen Yan didn’t quite understand it when he saw it at first, but after studying the “Appraising Instruments” chapter in the booklet, he gradually came to understand what it meant.

In the safe left by the old lady, the most valuable things were not the gold bars.

But that batch of jade!

Relying on his memory at that time, Chen Yan could still vaguely remember that the quality and water content of that batch of jade were quite good.

And... maybe you can find one or two treasures like rings in there?

By the way, Chen Yan also asked Miss Gu to help take a look at the ring.

Her response was direct: "I don't understand. I don't understand."

Okay, you want to learn combat tactics?

Someone who sells seafood once said that warriors are the most vulgar.

·
After returning home, Chen Yan meditated to transfer his vital energy, while Gu Qingyi moved a chair to the yard to bask in the sun.

After Chen Yan practiced the Qi Transportation Method several times, it was already afternoon.

At noon, Gu Xiaoniang was very sensible and did not disturb the illegitimate son who was practicing martial arts. Instead, she ate a few buns by herself - she had learned how to use the gas stove and heated the buns in the steamer.

The original basement of the villa was converted into a practice room by Chen Yan. Sitting on a cushion, Chen Yan felt that the method of transporting vital energy had been practiced to its limit today... His body could no longer accommodate more vital energy.

This method of practicing needs to be done step by step, and vital energy needs to be transported into the body every day.

Then, by nourishing yourself a little bit every day, you can improve your cultivation while allowing your body to be constantly nourished by vital energy. This way, the body's capacity for vital energy will slowly increase over time.

According to Chen Yan's own experience, he can now practice the Qi Transporting Method a maximum of six times a day. After six times, the container is full, and he can no longer practice to absorb the Qi into his body.

However, with daily practice, the container will grow and expand little by little at a very slow rate.

Chen Yan roughly calculated that at this rate, in about half a year, he would be able to move his vital energy from eight times a day to nine times a day.

According to Gu Qingyi, this progress is already considered a good talent.

But Chen Yan certainly won't be satisfied...

Why should I stupidly level up and fight monsters when I can cheat?
Wearing the ring on his left thumb, Chen Yan continued to move his vital energy.

The ninth time!
This time, after the vital energy entered the body, the body already had a faint feeling that it was unable to absorb the nourishment of the vital energy. However, Chen Yan's method was very simple: the vital energy he transported just circulated in the body according to the operation of the exercises, and then was directly poured into the ring.

If you continue to run like this, it means that the vital energy only circulates once in your body and cannot be contained - the capacity itself is not enough.

But the benefit of turning it like this and pouring it directly into the ring is that it gives the vital energy one more time to flush and nourish the body!
Moreover, under the influence of the exercises, this method of flushing is very sophisticated, gentle and harmless.

It wouldn't be like what Gu Qingyi said, where he would put himself in the spirit gathering array as the center of the array, and let the vital energy simply and roughly wash over him, turning him into an ugly muscular man.

It was not until the evening that Gu Qingyi went downstairs curiously to the practice room to look at Chen Yan. She was at the celestial realm, and after standing at the door of the practice room and taking a look, she immediately understood what Chen Yan was doing.

"what?"

After a little thought, Gu Qingyi understood Chen Yan's approach. She thought about it, shook her head, and went back upstairs.

In the evening, she heated up a few more buns for dinner, and then Gu Xiaoniang went back to the chair in the yard to look at the moon and stars.

Chen Yan did not wake up from his meditation until the morning.

After opening his eyes, Chen Yan felt light and comfortable, his five senses were sharp, and when he stood up, he felt light and fluttering, with an indescribable sense of ease and happiness all over his body.

It's like I've had a full sleep for more than ten hours, taken a hot bath, and rubbed mud all over my body. I feel completely refreshed from the inside out, from the mind to the body.

There is also a feeling as if you can make yourself fly by waving your arms.

In particular, after Chen Yan activated the Qi-gazing technique, he felt that the form of the vital energy he saw in his field of vision had changed.

The vital energy of heaven and earth appeared gray in his eyes.

As his vital energy flowed outward, it began to flash with a hint of silver light.

Obviously, his [Return to Origin Realm] has stabilized. According to what Gu Qingyi had explained in detail before, after entering the Return to Origin Mirror, his perception of the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth, as well as his observation of luck, will be elevated to a new level.

Of course, the increase in his Taoist cultivation also allows Chen Yan to try more spells.

Well, the only bad thing is that I'm really hungry. I checked my phone and saw a text message about a bank deposit.

Eight hundred and eighty thousand eight.

The note is: Second phase of house renovation project payment.

Very good! Chen Yan expressed his satisfaction... Mr. Fang is a straightforward person.

Chen Yan was in a good mood.

On the one hand, if you make money, of course you won’t be unhappy.

On the other hand, I use the thumb ring to assist in my practice, and the effect is remarkable!

Originally, he used the Spirit Gathering Array. With the concentrated vitality after being gathered, his cultivation efficiency increased by more than three times.

Using the ring as a cheat, he could practice the Energy Moving Technique a maximum of eight times a day, but from last night to now, Chen Yan roughly remembered that he had practiced it at least thirty times!

That's more than four times the efficiency.

Adding both sides together... the efficiency is seven or eight times!
Gu Qingyi said that it would take him twenty years to break through to the [Stage Realm] again.

But with seven or eight times the efficiency.

I should only need three or four years to achieve it.

As expected, when it comes to cultivating immortals, plug-ins are the way to go!
No wonder in those online novels about cultivating immortals that I have read, the male protagonist would be embarrassed to come out if he didn’t have a cheat.

I went upstairs to the living room and looked out the floor-to-ceiling window. Gu Qingyi was still lying on the recliner in the yard.

Could it be that this woman had been staring at the moon all night?
Forget it, she is in the celestial realm anyway, so she can’t be frozen to death.

Chen Yan turned around and went into the kitchen with filial piety.

I turned on the fire and fried four eggs, then took a box of milk and cut two slices of toast.

Chen Yan had just finished putting eggs in toast. Gu Qingyi rushed into the kitchen like a gust of wind, smelling the aroma.

In the blink of an eye, the egg toast in front of him was gone!

In the blink of an eye, the milk was gone.

When I looked again, Gu Qingyi was already sitting at the table in the restaurant miamiamiamia……

That’s not right, I seem to have seen this episode before... Chen Yan felt a little dazed.

·
You are amazing!

Chen Yan glanced at his twenty-one-year-old stepmother, whose mouth was full of oil, and stood up to leave.

"Where to go?"

"Isn't it okay to go pick up girls?" Chen Yan replied righteously.

Gu Qingyi's momentum weakened, and he hesitated for a moment before he whispered, "Well...you go ahead, be nice to your girlfriend, I'll order takeout for lunch."

Chen Yan walked out, strolled to the gate of the community, and got on an online taxi. He drove all the way to the city center and then walked into a restaurant that he had never dared to patronize before.

This restaurant is famous for its Suyang cuisine, and is also known for its high prices.

Mr. Chen, who had just earned 880,000 yuan, walked into the restaurant with full confidence and sat down, and generously ordered four dishes and a soup.

I took a bite of the dish...

Very good, my mouth tastes like money!
Mr. Chen Dashan likes this taste.

While eating, I was thinking and calculating the time. I should go to the wood shop in the afternoon to pick up the customized tablet for my father.

Well, the weather is very good today. How about asking Lu Sisi out to go shopping or watch a movie? The cinema is dark, and we can touch her hands or something.

No!

inappropriate!

Who would go on a date with a girl while holding his father’s tablet?

Filial piety cannot be corrupted!

So, it would be better to let my father's tablet stay in the wood shop for one more day.

I think his spirit in heaven would understand me... After all, if I have a woman sooner, I can also have children for the Chen family sooner, right?
This is great filial piety!

Mr. Chen, a kind man who puts filial piety first, was thinking about these things when he heard the sound of high heels tapping on the floor.

I smelled a fragrant breeze and when I looked up, I saw a graceful figure wrapped in a cheongsam standing in front of me.

Well, with this kind of plump and curvy figure, the clothes on the body will give people a feeling of being "wrapped" tightly.

Chen Yan has always liked this kind of figure!

In his opinion, what is a good figure for a woman... is the ability to wear clothes that seem as if they will burst at any moment, that is called a top figure.

When I saw that face, I found that it was beautiful but with a hint of coldness... Hmm?

She has a small face, big eyes, a pointed chin, a natural charm between her eyebrows, and a pair of delicate eyes on the bridge of her nose, which not only does not reduce her charm, but instead highlights her charm.

...Uh...Team Leader Kim Mi-jung?

Nonsence!

"...Master Zi?" Chen Yan narrowed his eyes.

The gorgeous mature woman exhaled softly, with a hint of indifference on her face, and said slowly: "Master Chen, I'm sorry to bother you!"

"Since you feel it's presumptuous, you shouldn't bother me." Chen Yan replied indifferently.

"...Master Chen is quite humorous." Old Zi was stunned, but still shook his head, slowly walked to Chen Yan, and sat down on the chair opposite Chen Yan with an elegant posture.

Chen Yan: "..."

It’s not that he was surprised that Master Zi could find him.

But...

He saw the woman sitting down at the table with her breasts almost resting on the table.

Chen Yan took a deep breath and said seriously: "...Thank you!"

Zi Lao was stunned: "Huh?"

"It's okay." Chen Yan waved his hand, sat up straight, leaned back, and said slowly: "I admire you for being able to find me."

Elder Zi shook his head. "Mr. Fang is a good man. He didn't sell you out, Master Chen. I have a good relationship with him, so I won't use any tricks on him. However, his driver is easy to deal with. He can tell everything with just a single mantra.

Mr. Fang gave you a big gift and visited you before, and Luo Qing performed a ritual in the haunted house where you live... Putting all these things together, it's not difficult to guess who the real culprit is."

Chen Yan nodded. No wonder, this woman is quite smart and not just a big bear.

——Mr. Chen is certainly not afraid at this moment.

If a few days ago, he had been approached by someone who obviously had extraordinary cultivation, he would definitely have been nervous.

Now... not to mention that Mr. Chen’s own cultivation has greatly improved.

Come on, if you have any tricks, I’ll go home and tell my mom!
The beautiful mature woman sat back a little - this posture made her chest leave the table, and Chen Yan sighed with regret in his heart.

The woman then formed a strange hand seal with her hands, then changed to a Tai Chi fish gesture with her hands. "Yun Sect Leader Chu Keqing, greeting Master Chen. Master Chen, please also reveal your name."

Chen Yan glanced at her and said, "There are chopsticks on the table. If you haven't eaten yet, let's have a bite together."

Elder Zi—Chu Keqing took a deep breath. This action made Chen Yan's eyes drift away for a moment, and then he heard the woman's tone with a hint of dissatisfaction: "It's my Yun Sect's name, isn't it enough for Master Chen to show off his name?"

Chen Yan frowned, put down his chopsticks, and looked at the woman carefully: "Yun Zong?"

"Exactly."

Chen Yan shook his head. "What era is this? Does this sect or that sect have a business license? Does it have an organization code? Is it a company registered with the Industry and Commerce Bureau or a non-governmental organization registered with the Civil Affairs Bureau? Does it have a legal representative? Has the tax return and settlement for last year been completed?"

Chu Keqing's eyes widened behind her glasses: "......"

Why doesn't this person play by the rules?
