Chapter 149 Shell? No, it’s the holy medicine for healing
Li Xiu looked at the tree in front of him, his eyes filled with endless sighs. Ever since he died with the tree demon in the North... he was teleported to Wangchuan together, and so many things happened during this period. In the end,
This arrogant woman turned into a plant again.
The big tree in front of me, which seemed to exude a faint jade luster, seemed to feel something. It slowly shook its branches and leaves, as if it had exhausted all its strength. After a while, the faint jade luster disappeared in an instant.
From the inside to the outside of the big tree in front of him, Li Xiu could even feel a faint aura of sadness. It seemed that the tree demon also recognized Li Xiu. After hearing Li Xiu's words and Li Xiu's emotion, his mood changed.
Inexplicable melancholy.
After sensing the mood of the tree demon, Li Xiu said nothing, but gently patted its tree body, and then walked into the house.
The big tree in front of me gently shook its branches and leaves again, and the surface of the tree could even be vaguely seen, with a familiar outline vaguely appearing.
But Li Xiu didn't pay attention to these anymore. They walked to the restaurant together. In the restaurant, the lady said: "Mr. Li, we have prepared a lot of food. We will prepare a rich dinner for you later!"
"Thank you!" Li Xiu smiled and nodded, then followed the lady and walked in. There were several rows of servants standing in the room, preparing dinner for them respectfully.
As a businessman, the middle-aged man knew how to read people's emotions and judge people very accurately. When he saw Li Xiu for the first time, he felt that the young man in front of him was definitely not as simple as he thought.
Precisely because of this, he lowered his guard and did not show any unpleasantness at all. Instead, he smiled throughout the whole process.
"Sorry to trouble you."
"Why is it necessary to meet outsiders like this? Mr. Li is just a guest, and meeting each other is fate. What's more, my daughter has not had many friends to play with over the years. I still want us to hang out more in the future!"
"You're welcome." Li Xiu was not a fool. Naturally, he could tell at a glance that the other party was just talking politely. However, he reached out to avoid hitting the smiling person. Li Xiu did not expose the other party, but he also had no intention of staying for dinner.
If they rush back now, they may be able to return to the north before dawn tomorrow. If they spend the night here tonight, they may be delayed for another day.
"You two, we may not be able to stay for dinner because we are in a hurry to return to the north because of some things... so..." Li Xiu laughed dryly and made his point clear.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and in the end he could only helplessly shake his head: "Since Mr. Li has said so, we can't continue to persuade him to stay, so... Mr. Li, it's already so late, why don't you
It's definitely not safe to go back like this. How about... I find someone to give you a lift? This will avoid anything happening on the way..."
"Well... let's forget it. If something really happens, the manpower you send out may not be able to help. After all... it's almost a red tide after we go out!"
But after hearing Li Xiu's words, the middle-aged man frowned and did not continue to warm his face to his cold buttocks. He just smiled casually: "In this case, I will prepare some food for you, so as not to make you hungry on the way!"
"good!"
Li Xiu smiled and nodded, agreeing, and when the servants around him saw this scene, they also smiled and walked out.
But they felt very strange in their hearts. They really couldn't understand why their boss would be so polite to such a stranger. Although their boss was not from a top family, he was somewhat famous here and his business scale was small.
Not too small.
Otherwise, he would not be able to afford so many people and live in such a house. He would even have a group of extraordinary level superpowers under his command, and there would be many people in the bottle who would be forbidden to hunt outside the Crimson Tide.
"What do you think is going on, boss? That person is too ungrateful."
"I also feel that the attitude is not good at all. It makes me angry just looking at me! Who usually comes to visit our boss and doesn't speak in a gentle and gentle tone?"
"Who knows, forget it...it's none of our business, just go to work!"
These people still don't seem to be used to Li Xiu's attitude. After all, their boss is here and his influence is definitely not too small. People who come here are either discussing business with their boss or coming to establish relationships, so their attitudes are naturally different.
All of them are slightly flattering.
But what about Li Xiu?
He was just passing by and was invited in by the lady. What's more, with Li Xiu's strength, there was no need to be respectful to such a small businessman. Perhaps it was the sharp contrast between the people who came to visit on weekdays and Li Xiu, which made these people feel very uncomfortable.
Comfortable.
However, Li Xiu didn't pay attention to what these people thought, because he would leave here soon and might not see each other again in the future. In that case...why would he bother so much?
Just as the servants were talking among themselves, a girl in her twenties came to Li Xiu with a lot of snacks and some food.
"Boss, the things are all here. They are all prepared for Mr. Li. And... Madam said that the things in the bag, packed in red, are for Miss Li Lan'er. Those things have better nutritional value.
High...easy to digest, suitable for children..."
"I understand, no matter what, I still want to thank you. It's getting late now... We are still in a hurry to get back to the north, so we will take a step forward. Goodbye!"
Li Xiu did not stay to chat. After picking up his things, he slowly walked outside. He and the middle-aged man quickly followed him out and sent Li Xiu all the way to the door. After Li Xiu got into the RV, he looked like this
Then he waved goodbye.
When Li Xiu and others had gone away, a young man in his twenties not far away came over with a frown: "The boss is too arrogant. Why do you think Madam brought him back? Just because of him.
Did you bring a child with you too? There are so many people taking care of children in the world. If we bring them all, wouldn’t this place be overcrowded?"
Hearing the young man's complaint, the middle-aged man just shrugged: "It's just a small thing, why bother? Besides, we who are doing business, especially during the special period of spiritual energy recovery, it is best not to provoke so many people.
Otherwise, you will offend the other party for no reason. It would be better if you meet someone who is more upright... If the other party is a villain and holds a grudge, then I am afraid it will cause big trouble!"
As for Li Xiu's so-called arrogance, in fact, the middle-aged man seems to have nothing to do with it. He naturally knows that it is because the group of people under him usually see a lot of people who come to please him, and this time they met the more normal Li Xiu, so they showed up.
This feeling.
So I didn’t think too much about it.
But even so, when he came back, he still heard a lot of people under his command muttering, but they immediately smiled and became quiet after seeing him come back.
The middle-aged man also returned to the room. After dealing with things for a day, he now felt a little tired. He sat down on the stool and after a while he was about to get up and take a hot shower.
When he saw his daughter running into the hall, he immediately smiled and hugged her into his arms: "Xiao Yueyue, why are you so happy? Where did you go to play just now?"
"Just now, my mother and I went to the back to look at the flowers. By the way... where is sister Li Lan'er? She gave me a small shell... She said it was a gift for me, and I want to give her one too. Dad, what do you think of this?
?”
I saw Xiao Yueyue taking out a necklace inlaid with sapphires. This would have been worth a lot in the past, but since the spiritual energy was revived... these things have gradually become worthless. Instead, they are related to cultivation and materials.
, prices have been soaring.
"You wanted to give this necklace to that sister Li Lan'er, right? But it's a pity that you came back late... They were in a hurry to go home, so they left early!"
"Ah? Has Sister Li Lan'er left? I still want to play with her, and I didn't even have time to give her the gift I prepared..." Just when Xiao Yueyue pouted her mouth and felt a little unhappy.
A person walked in from outside the room again: "Brother Zhao, there is news... The thing has finally arrived. As long as we get that thing, our matter this time will be successful in all likelihood. By then... Brother Zhao will definitely be able to
If I go to a higher level, I can also take a ride and make a fortune!"
What came in was a man in casual clothes, about thirty years old, with a face full of joy... And this man is not only Zhao Kuo's partner, but also a well-known appraiser here. I don't know how many appraisals he has done for him in the past.
baby.
As long as he takes a look at many things, he can almost tell whether they are good or bad and how much they are worth, and the price difference will definitely not be too big.
It is precisely with this kind of vision that after the two of them cooperated, their business grew bigger and bigger, and they made more and more money. In these days, they discovered a big business and completed it. Their business
The team can definitely be expanded by more than two or three times.
"Really, have you really found it? That's great. Have you gone to see that thing yourself?"
Hearing this, the man in his thirties wearing glasses smiled awkwardly: "Not yet, I just got the news, so I rushed over to tell you that I have no time to go and have a look. That's what I plan to do this time."
I'll go with you to avoid any mistakes in the process, which will cause trouble."
"That's okay, that's okay..." Zhao Kuo nodded, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and pulled his daughter: "Xiao Yueyue, can you just play with your mother at home first? Dad still has a little something.
I have to go out for something important, so I might not come back tonight...Tomorrow, will dad bring you a gift tomorrow?"
When Xiao Yueyue heard this, her unhappy little mouth suddenly started to pout.
Then he snorted and was about to walk out angrily. Zhao Kuo picked up the shell placed on the stool next to him: "Xiao Yueyue... you haven't got your things yet..."
But the moment he picked up the shell and handed it over... the man in his thirties wearing glasses who was standing next to him suddenly widened his eyes.
"Wait a minute, Brother Zhao... what is this in your hand?"
"What?" Zhao Kuo also frowned, not understanding what the other person was talking about. Wasn't the thing in his hand just a shell?
What could it be?
"No...I mean you..." The man with glasses spoke more rapidly, and even the frequency became somewhat disordered.
When Xiao Yueyue angrily returned to Zhao Kuo and wanted to take the shell, the man with glasses finally reached out to stop him and said: "Mr. Zhao... do you know what this is? This is terrible.
It's not a child's toy, this thing...if one thing is not handled well, it is very likely that your entire Zhao family will...disappear overnight!"
"Disappeared in smoke?" Zhao Kuo was a little unhappy and frowned: "What are you talking about? You have to be polite when joking. Just a shell can make my Zhao family disappear like this?"
"Our business has grown quite a lot in recent years, and we have a lot of people under our command. When it comes to fighting, we are on par with some medium-sized forces. Even if we encounter some big forces, even if we can't beat them, we can still tear them apart.
A piece of meat, do you think you will make our Zhao family disappear because of such a shell?"
But after hearing what the other party said, the bespectacled man only felt his mouth go dry, and thick cold sweat broke out on his head: "I don't mean there is anything wrong with this shell, but because this shell is too precious... Once it is stolen by someone with intentions,
When people find out, it is very likely to lead to the disaster of annihilation of the family, and the reason why it is a crime to possess a jade... Brother Zhao, you don’t understand, do you?”
As if he thought of something, the bespectacled man gritted his teeth and finally took out his mobile phone, looking for something in the photo album of his mobile phone eagerly.
More than ten minutes passed, but he still couldn't find it. The man with glasses was extremely anxious, and finally his hands shook... He turned to the photo, and the joy on his face bloomed at this moment.
"Look, it's this thing... I remember, half a year ago... this thing appeared once, and it immediately caused an uproar. Even on the surface, it's just an ordinary shell, but if you look at this thing even if it's
It’s hard to find it at sea...and despite its small appearance, the rarity of this thing is absolutely staggering..."
"More importantly, this thing is the most effective therapeutic item ever discovered... Just grind the shells into powder and mix some other substances... It can have unexpected effects. The one that appeared half a year ago
The shell was less than one-third of this size, but it was auctioned off at a sky-high price by a terrorist force I had never heard of. It is said that this thing... once saved an elemental realm superpower who had half of his body cut off...
"
After hearing the bespectacled man's words, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but look at the photo on his phone in shock. The photo contained the detailed description of the original auction and the terrifying price that made people go numb.
Until this moment, he finally understood... No wonder the man with glasses was so excited after seeing this shell.
