Awakening to cultivate immortality, he impulsively marries a beautiful CEO on the day of his divorce
Chapter 3 Absorbing Spiritual Energy, Refining Qi to Level 1
Chen Yi was overjoyed; this spiritual energy could indeed be absorbed.
At the same time, it seemed as if a shackle within his body had been broken, and Chen Yi's spirits lifted.
Their vision and hearing suddenly became exceptionally sensitive.
Everything around him became clear: the cracks in the floor, the patterns on the antiques, even every pore on Lu Jie's body.
Through the walls of the lobby, the tables, chairs, and coffee tables in the back room are clearly visible.
Refine your Qi to the first level, and gain clairvoyance!
Chen Yi was overjoyed.
He actually broke through the first level of Qi Refining and gained the ability to see through the primordial spirit.
This means that he can also embark on the path of cultivation in the real world.
that is really good!
Lu Jie was completely unaware of Chen Yi's dramatic change. Seeing Chen Yi standing there in a daze, he was filled with doubt.
"Brother Yi, what's wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing. Things from the Tang Dynasty are just so good, haha!"
Chen Yi snapped out of his daze, withdrew his finger, and forced a smile.
Doubt in mind.
Why does this Tang tri-colored pottery possess a spiritual quality?
So, do other things also possess spiritual energy?
He can cultivate as long as he finds something containing spiritual energy.
However, it is currently unknown what contains spiritual energy.
Lu Jie quickly put away the Tang tri-colored pottery and said apologetically:
"Brother Yi, this was left with me by a boss, so we have to be careful."
"I know, I'm just curious."
Chen Yi naturally wouldn't blame Lu Jie for being stingy, and said with a smile.
Watching Lu Jie put the Tang Sancai (a type of pottery) into the cabinet.
Just then, it suddenly became noisy outside.
"It's green! It's green! We're rich!"
Some people shouted excitedly.
"It's gone up! It's gone up! It's gone up a lot!"
"What incredible luck! He must have stepped in a few piles of dog poop!"
……
Chen Yi turned his head to look outside.
"What happened?"
Lu Jie said, "They must have found some good material."
"Good material?"
Chen Yi was puzzled.
Lu Jie said, "This is an antique street with many people gambling on stones. Every now and then, someone will find jade, and the gamblers get excited and make a ruckus."
Chen Yi had read about jade gambling in online novels, and he immediately became interested when he heard about it.
Now that he has X-ray vision, gambling on stones is as easy as picking up money.
He immediately said, "Let's go take a look."
He then walked out.
Lu Jie was immediately stunned. Wasn't Brother Yi always uninterested in these kinds of luck-based things?
However, seeing that Chen Yi had already left, he quickly instructed the old man:
"Uncle Zhang, please keep an eye on things for me. I'll be right back."
Then he quickly followed her out.
……
Xu's Group, conference room.
Xu Linwei sat in the main seat with a serious expression, and below her were the core personnel from various departments.
"You all know about the Qingyuan company's situation, right? Tell me your solutions?"
Xu Linwei said, with a hint of authority.
Cosmetics are a key profit driver for the Xu Group, accounting for half of the market share in southern China.
However, in the past two months, their competitor, Qingyuan Company, launched a new skincare product with excellent results, which quickly took away more than half of their market share.
If they do not retaliate effectively, they risk being squeezed out of the market.
"Mr. Xu."
The head of the marketing department said, "We've come up with several marketing plans, but this new product from Qingyuan is just too powerful; we simply can't stop it."
What I mean is, the R&D department still needs to come up with new and compelling products as soon as possible.
Xu Linwei nodded.
Quality is the key to competition; to solve the current crisis, we must develop new products.
She turned her gaze to the head of the R&D department.
The head of the R&D department quickly said, "Mr. Xu, the R&D team has been working through the night for half a month. Developing a new product is not that easy."
Xu Linwei's expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant.
"Innovation is your job; you can't wait until the enemy comes knocking before releasing new products. Slow product development is your responsibility."
The crowd discussed the matter but couldn't come up with a viable solution.
After all, without new products, it's impossible to defeat Qingyuan Group.
Xu Linwei frowned slightly and said, "Go back and think about it. I hope to see a useful solution within a day."
After saying that, she got up and left the meeting room.
Back in the CEO's office, Xu Linwei put her phone on the table and just sat down.
Just then, the phone rang.
She answered the call casually, put it on speakerphone, and a soft, sweet voice immediately came through the phone.
"Big sister, Grandma wants you to come home for dinner tonight."
"Okay," Xu Linwei replied casually.
"Big sister, I heard that Grandma invited the Chu family to be guests, and that bastard Chu Linfeng is coming too. He'll definitely set you up on a blind date tonight."
Upon hearing this, Xu Linwei frowned slightly, revealing a look of annoyance.
"Okay, I'll hang up now if there's nothing else."
She said it casually, and then hung up the phone.
The female assistant next to him said, "Mr. Xu, this Chu Linfeng had an extremely chaotic private life when he was studying abroad. You absolutely must not be with him."
Xu Linwei sighed.
How could she not know Chu Linfeng's character? She loathed him.
However, the Xu and Chu families have been friends for three generations and have had many business dealings. Both families' elders are interested in a marriage alliance to create a powerful synergy.
Her grandmother told her that being born into a wealthy family meant she had no say in many things, and marriage was just a formality.
We must consider the interests of the family.
As children of the Xu family, we have enjoyed the blessings of the Xu family since childhood, but we must sacrifice for the Xu family when it matters.
However, Xu Linwei was not the type to compromise.
However, it seems there's no escaping what's going on tonight.
After pondering for a while, she opened her phone, found a photo, and looked at it for a long time.
Finally, he pointed to his assistant and said seriously:
"I need all the information about this person in ten minutes."
Assistant Xu Xiao looked over and saw an ID card. The owner was a man named Chen Yi.
She didn't know what Mr. Xu meant, but she didn't dare to be negligent and immediately said:
"Okay, I'll take care of it right away."
With that, he transferred the photo to his phone and quickly left.
……
On the antique street, Chen Yi followed Lu Jie out of Jingu Zhai. A large crowd had gathered diagonally opposite, making a lot of noise.
The two walked over and saw more than a dozen stalls on the ground, with strange and unusual stones of different sizes on the stalls.
In front of a stall, a middle-aged man with a stubble and weathered appearance held a cut stone in his hands, tears streaming down his face, his hands trembling with emotion.
"God, I, Hu Dedi, have finally achieved my goal! After ten years of gambling, I've finally turned green! This life has been worth it!"
The onlookers nearby were buzzing with discussion.
"This is a glutinous rice variety, with a vibrant green color. If this guy becomes rich, he could be worth several million!"
"Even if we lose for ten years, it's worth it. In ten years, even if the cattle and horses don't eat or drink, they can't save up a few million."
……
"Brother, how about selling this material to me for two million?"
A middle-aged man with a large belly said.
"Two million? Do you think I'm clueless?"
Hu Dedi hugged the stone tightly to his chest and glared at the pot-bellied man as he shouted.
"Alright, alright, name your price!"
"That's what the pot-bellied man said."
"At least this number!"
Hu Dedi held up five fingers and said resolutely.
"Five million? You're crazy for money!"
The pot-bellied man was immediately dissatisfied.
"If you don't want it, fine. There are plenty of people who want it. Five million is still a small amount."
Hu Dedi sneered, picked up the stone, and turned to leave.
The pregnant man quickly stepped forward and pulled him away:
"Brother, brother, don't go, don't go, five million it is, deal."
The two made a deal, exchanging five million in a straightforward transaction, much to the delight of the onlookers.
Suddenly, the jade gambling stalls became incredibly popular.
Many people think so.
If others have gotten a green card and become rich overnight, why can't I?
He was suddenly bursting with excitement.
Chen Yi stood in front of a stall, focusing his mind as he scanned the stones one by one.
The internal structure of the stone is clearly visible.
Seeing this, Lu Jie smiled faintly and said, "Brother Yi, you don't want to gamble on stones too, do you? Nine out of ten people lose money on this, and many have lost everything."
The company went bankrupt, and Yi Ge was left with millions in debt. Playing these games would only make him sink deeper into trouble.
He did not approve of Chen Yi playing.
"Playing a couple of rounds won't hurt."
Chen Yi said.
Seeing that there was business, the stall owner beamed with joy and said:
"Hey handsome, these are all top-quality pieces from old mines in Myanmar, high yield of green jade. Want to buy one for fun?"
Lu Jie said, "Brother Yi, don't listen to his nonsense. I've been on this street for years and I've seen a lot. You can't even get a good piece from hundreds of rough stones here."
The boss squinted and smiled:
"The stone isn't important, what matters is the person. Handsome, you look radiant, you're on a roll, and wealth is just around the corner."
"A few thousand dollars can generate millions in profits—it's totally worth it!"
He had seen through Chen Yi's situation: around thirty years old, down on his luck, clearly facing a difficult period in life.
People at this stage of life most desire to become rich overnight and love to gamble.
Chen Yi shook his head and said, "If your material isn't good enough, I'll look elsewhere."
After saying that, he walked away.
I visited several stalls and looked at hundreds of stones, but not a single one was available.
Gambling on stones is indeed a losing proposition, with nine out of ten bets ending in defeat!
Just then, Chen Yi's eyes suddenly lit up.
Just ahead of the stall, a girl was squatting in front of it, holding a durian-sized stone in her hands.
There's more to it than meets the eye...
