Two days later, Lu Cheng walked out of the basement with a smile on his face, obviously having absorbed the fire talisman.
He heard his wife Jiang Qiuyun and nanny Zhao Hongshao talking.
"Sister Zhao, is your son still in the UK?"
"Yes. But he comes back every summer vacation."
"Does he still recognize you?"
"I admit it. But it's a bit unfamiliar after all." Zhao Hongshao sighed and said, "I can't help it. These days, the divorce rate is too high and every family is not perfect. There are not many harmonious couples like you and your husband.
”
Jiang Qiuyun said: "In a few months, I will give birth to my second child, which will increase your workload. I am considering whether to hire another nanny."
Zhao Hongshao smiled and said: "No need! I can keep busy. I have practiced Nourishing Qi, and I am in good health and energetic. My sleep has been shortened to 5 hours. I used to sleep for seven or eight hours."
Lu Cheng walked over and said, "We can't make Sister Zhao work too hard. Even if we don't hire a nanny, we still need to hire a chef."
Zhao Hongshao said: "Hey! I remembered that Luo Tong went on a blind date last time and fell in love with a girl. She was a good cook and was a lecturer at Diaoyutai Cooking School."
Jiang Qiuyun smiled and said: "Really? That's a good thing."
Later, Luo Tong was called over by Zhao Hongshao.
"Aunt, what do you want me to do?" Luo Tong is Luo Ji's nephew. Luo Ji is married to Zhao Hongshao, so he calls him Aunt Zhao Hongshao.
Zhao Hongshao asked about his blind date.
Luo Tong is 26 years old. His skill has improved a lot in recent years and he has entered the eighth level of martial arts. He looked a little shy and said: "That girl is my neighbor, her name is 'Guo Xiaolei'. She went to learn cooking before graduating from high school. She is now
He is a senior chef, has a Level 3 National Vocational Qualification, and is preparing to take the Level 2 qualification exam."
There are five levels of chef certificates: junior (level 5), intermediate (level 4), senior (level 3), technician (level 2) and senior technician (national professional qualification level 1).
Lu Cheng said: "I am short of people here, you can invite her over. The salary will definitely be higher than outside."
Luo Tong looked happy: "Okay, I'll call and ask."
His current monthly salary on the surface is 180,000 yuan, but in fact it is much more than that. Because he assists in refining elixirs and gets bonuses during holidays, plus the dividends from the "Moss Factory", his annual income is very considerable.
What's more important is that he can obtain various elixirs and his own cultivation level is constantly improving. According to Lu Cheng, given time, he can even advance to the innate level!
Once you advance to the innate level, you will be immune to all diseases, break through the shackles of life and death, and live past the 120-year lifespan.
For him, the attraction of martial arts training is much greater than making money!
He went to the side and made a phone call with a smile. After a while, he came back and said: "Xiao Lei said she is willing to come, but she has to take the exam first and come back after getting the second-level qualification certificate."
Lu Cheng said: "No problem, I'm not in a hurry. It won't be too late to come back next spring."
Luo Tong smiled and said: "It won't take that long. About a month."
Lu Cheng looked out the window and saw that his daughter was catching butterflies in the garden, and Luo Tong was refining elixirs in the yard, glancing at Lu Qingyan from time to time.
Three-and-a-half-year-old Lu Qingyan has already started learning Wushen Boxing from her mother.
Her heavenly orifice was originally open a little, but now it is more open, and she can clearly feel the abundant spiritual energy of Qiucheng Garden. Her body is nourished by the spiritual energy, her qi and blood are strong, and her meridians open automatically.
She smiled at a colorful butterfly and muttered something in her mouth. The butterfly fluttered its wings but did not fly away.
She stretched out her white and tender hands and touched the butterfly's wings.
The butterfly flew up and landed on her palm.
Lu Cheng walked out and called out: "Qingyan, come hang out with me."
Lu Qingyan released the butterfly, turned around and ran over, calling sweetly: "Dad, where are we going?"
Lu Cheng took her to Tiger Hill, Sword Pond, and then went boating on Tai Lake.
They saw many fishing boats and fishermen.
As early as 2020, fishing in Taihu Lake was banned for 10 years because of helplessness, all the fish were caught.
Nowadays, due to the revival of spiritual energy, the number of fish in Taihu Lake has increased significantly, and they are constantly jumping around on the water, looking very prosperous and attractive.
Lu Cheng abandoned his boat and went ashore. There were also people fishing on the shore.
Lu Qingyan looked curiously at those people's fish buckets to see what fish they had caught.
Everyone liked such a pretty little girl, and some middle-aged and elderly people took the initiative to talk to her and tell her the species of fish.
Lu Cheng knew that most of these people were good people, but he could not rule out that there were one or two "weirdos".
Therefore, he stood on the sidelines and watched.
"Dad, here is a little turtle!"
Lu Cheng looked around and saw that it was a small blue-black turtle, about the same size as Lu Qingyan's small hand.
He glanced at the fisherman and asked: "Why isn't such a small turtle released?"
The fisherman was about sixty years old, with a half-bald head and a red face. He said, "I'm going to take it back and raise it."
Lu Qingyan shouted: "Dad, look, the little turtle is nodding at me."
Lu Cheng took a closer look and saw that the head of the little turtle was moving up and down, just in the direction of his daughter. So he asked the fisherman: "Old man, can you sell this little turtle to me?"
"Well... your daughter is very beautiful... Since the little girl likes it, it's not impossible for me to give the little turtle to you..."
Lu Cheng gave the other party 100 yuan, then put the little turtle in a plastic bag and took his daughter back to Qiucheng Garden.
After returning home, he recited a few spells to the little turtle and then threw it into the pond.
From then on, the little turtle climbed out at noon every day and basked in the sun on the rocks beside the pond, giving Lu Qingyan an extra playmate.
Ten days later, Lu Cheng swallowed the second fire talisman.
In late October, he swallowed the third fire talisman, then went into seclusion for several days, and advanced to the seventh level of spiritual witchcraft.
He walked out of the basement, talked to Jiang Qiuyun for a while, then left Qiucheng Garden and took the high-speed rail back to Quancheng.
He first went to the warehouse of "Quancheng Knife Factory" and took away 500 long knives. Then he went to Zhang Dazhi to check the situation of the 15 macaws.
Lu Cheng carefully observed the parrots, selected 8 of them, and asked Zhang Dazhi to sell the other 7 parrots. These parrots had all taken elixirs and were stronger and smarter than ordinary parrots.<
/p>
Zhang Dazhi said: "A parrot of this quality would feel like a loss if it sold for 200,000 yuan each!"
Lu Cheng waved his hand: "You are looking at selling them, it doesn't matter how many. The remaining 8 are the key. I have to spend some time training them. You go out for a walk first and come back in an hour."
So Zhang Dazhi carried a bird cage and walked out suspiciously.
Lu Cheng recited a spell to the eight birds. What he recited was not the "Judgment of Subjugating Beasts and Controlling Birds" because the parrots were still too young. Reciting such a spell would be like placing shackles on the birds, which would be detrimental to their health.
Their growth.
What he was reciting was the basic mental method of the Phoenix bird, which was part of the jade tablets left by Emperor Jun. If the macaws in front of him had the blood of the Phoenix clan, they would be able to practice it.
Of course, each bird's intelligence is different, and the final results of cultivation will also be different.
