Early the next morning, Zhou Yanan brought over everything Xu Heng wanted to exchange.
Two candles, and 600 grams of glutinous rice.
One candle costs almost 50 million and uses 25 pieces of yellow paper.
The other candle used up the remaining five pieces of yellow paper and two incense sticks.
The last half stick of incense was converted into 12 million, which was exchanged for 600 grams of glutinous rice.
Since the last time he bought 200 grams of glutinous rice and cooked it into glutinous rice for consumption, Xu Heng has not felt any cold backlash.
But yesterday he breathed six Xiaohan solar terms at once, and he vaguely felt that the cold air was showing signs of recovery.
As a result, when I woke up early this morning, my legs really felt a little sore.
Fire goes up, cold goes down.
If you don't pay attention to this, it will be Lao Han Legs at the least, and Lao Han Kun at the worst.
Fortunately, now that I have these 600 grams of glutinous rice, I should be able to enjoy the Xiaohan solar terms a few more times.
"Okay, the deal is done, I feel like I don't owe you anymore, don't come to me for this kind of thing in the future." Zhou Yanan looked like she hadn't woken up and yawned.
Xu Heng was a little surprised. He seemed to have never seen Zhou Yanan looking so listless. It seemed that he had been running around a lot last night in order to redeem this thing.
He knew that these things were of equal value on the surface, but when it came to redeeming them, it was often not that smooth, especially in a small place like Darong City, where it would be even more difficult.
"I understand, I understand. I cannot thank you enough for my kindness. I will keep it in my heart. I will treat you to dinner another day when I have the opportunity." Xu Heng took everything with a smile.
"Haha!" Zhou Yanan forced out a fake smile, then rolled her eyes, turned around and left.
Dog man, if you treat me to a meal, you still have to come back next time when you have a chance?
Do you think I would be surprised?
But then again, what on earth is this guy doing to exchange so many candles?
Zhou Yanan turned around and took a look suspiciously, but Xu Heng had already entered the house and disappeared.
"Oh, man."
She gritted her teeth and cursed secretly, then walked away with her long legs. The footsteps of her short boots on the ground were particularly loud.
…
At the same time, Xu Heng had already closed the doors and windows of his home, holding three candles as if he had found a treasure.
I was worried about candles last night, but I didn't expect that I would solve them all today.
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was not a bad thing to be knocked unconscious by Zhou Yanan.
From that point on, not only was the suspicion completely cleared, but he was also compensated with a candle, and by the way, the Lin family was indirectly eliminated.
There was also huge gains from pollution during the last Qingming Festival.
Wait, based on this inference, it seems that Zhou Yanan is not a trouble, but is actually my lucky general?
Could it be that this woman has the appearance of a prosperous husband?
Although I am not her husband, I can still be favored. This shows that this woman is so terrifying, and I don’t know what kind of big grievance she will have in the future.
Thinking of this, Xu Heng suddenly frowned again and shook his head:
"Tsk, it still doesn't work. Although I tried my best to conquer myself and try to brainwash her into knocking me out, I still feel a little uncomfortable.
"But even so, I didn't take revenge on her. It shows that I can support a boat and am an open-minded person."
Xu Heng sighed with emotion, looked at the three candles in his hand again, and smiled again on his face.
Three candles, equivalent to the fifteen candles used before, can allow you to absorb at least ninety Xiaohan solar terms.
In this way, it will definitely be no problem to sprint to the tenth level of Jianqi before the college entrance examination, and there is no need to worry about the cultivation in the second half of the year.
"Tsk tsk tsk, three candles worth 150 million...Eh? 150 million?"
Xu Heng suddenly realized that this would cost 150 million?
When did I, Xu Heng, become such a prodigal?
And why don’t I feel distressed at all when I spend it?
understood.
As expected, it is only through hard work and hard-earned hard-earned money that I can spend it with such peace of mind.
"Crack!"
He picked up the lighter and lit the first candle.
There seems to be no difference between the intact candle and the previously used candles.
The moment the candlelight lit up, Xu Heng once again entered the state of inner vision.
The dim seven-star Beidou was replenished with energy again, and the seven stars lit up one after another.
Xu Heng did not rush to absorb the Xiaohan solar term this time, and kept focusing on Beidou.
After all seven stars lit up, Beidou became completely bright, blooming with blazing silvery white light.
But only one-fifth of the candle was burned, and the candlelight was not extinguished.
Xu Heng was also waiting for this moment. He wanted to see what would happen if he continued to supplement the Seven Star Beidou.
However, under the candlelight, Beidou only became more brilliant.
Xu Heng also clearly felt that it was like a bottomless pit, constantly absorbing the energy of the candlelight and storing the energy.
Even when a whole candle burns to ashes, Beidou still maintains its dazzling appearance.
Xu Heng opened his eyes, looked at the remaining two candles, and lit them without hesitation.
boom!
Two candlelights lit up, and Xu Heng's consciousness was pulled into his mind again.
This time, he found that Beidou seemed a little different.
As the energy of the candlelight continued to be replenished, after the first star shone to its peak, it gradually began to be covered with a faint golden light.
At this moment, the two candles were suddenly accelerated to burn.
Just like a cigarette taken by a person with huge lung capacity, the two candles melted from top to bottom at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into ashes in the blink of an eye.
"Ahhh!"
Xu Heng took a deep breath, like a drowning man emerging from the water and breathing in fresh air.
"What's going on? Then Beidou...could it really be a star?"
He couldn't believe it. After absorbing the energy of the two candles, the first star glowed with a golden light.
The result is like turning on some kind of switch, and suddenly it feels like it's getting bigger.
Although it was just a feeling, Xu Heng clearly noticed that it had become heavier, releasing a gravity field that almost crushed his consciousness to pieces.
"Good guy, if there were more candles, wouldn't my consciousness be destroyed?"
Xu Heng was afraid for a while. If his consciousness was crushed, he would probably become a vegetative state.
Obviously, the energy of Beidou cannot be replenished too easily. It must be replenished and consumed step by step.
Perhaps you need to become stronger before you can see what will happen after it all turns golden.
"Xu Heng, come over quickly for dinner."
"Okay, Dad, come right away."
Xu Heng quickly stood up from the sofa and walked quickly to the restaurant.
The three candles burned too fast, absorbing all the energy, and it was just lunch time.
Lao Xu cooked another tableful of dishes and was already sitting at the dining table eating.
"Why is this dish so rich today? Is it to celebrate my success in seasonal cultivation?" Xu Heng asked with a proud smile.
He feels that this year's college entrance examination is absolutely foolproof, and Darong City's seasonal champion is within reach.
"You are still in the mood to be here, don't forget that you have just established your Qi realm, and you are already being bitten by the cold air. What will you do in the future?" Lao Xu asked with a frown.
"It's okay. At worst, you can eat more glutinous rice and Laba porridge or something. I don't believe I can suppress the cold."
"That's only effective in the first few stages. The further you go, the harder it will be to suppress it." Lao Xu shook his head, put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, pondered for a moment, and then said: "How about you continue to practice martial arts?
"
"Ah?" Xu Heng was stunned for a moment.
Bring back martial arts training?
He remembered that his senior sister had said that one could only choose one or the other between martial arts and discipline, otherwise there would be a huge conflict when both grew at the same time.
Xu Heng expressed this question.
Lao Xu nodded unequivocally: "Your senior sister is right. If ordinary people practice martial arts and solar terms at the same time, it will cause conflicts between internal energy and solar terms, but you are different."
"What's different?" Xu Heng was surprised.
"You are not an ordinary person!" Lao Xu said with a matter-of-fact expression.
"???" Xu Heng was stunned for a moment, what does it mean that I am not an ordinary person?
"You have had wonderful bones since you were a child, and you are a unique martial arts genius. As long as you train your body to a certain strength, you will naturally not be afraid of the conflict between the inner energy and the solar terms."
Lao Xu made a surprising statement and told a theory.
Although internal Qi and solar terms may conflict, the meridians may not be able to withstand them and cause trauma.
But if the body is strong enough, there is nothing to fear.
Xu Heng was stunned after hearing this: "Dad, do you think I'm stupid and easy to fool?"
"You're lying. What I'm telling you is the truth. If you don't believe it, you can try it. Anyway, your two meridians have recovered. You'll understand if you can try it and see if you can break through." After Xu Hanshan finished speaking, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks again.
He ate on his own.
Xu Heng repeatedly waved his hands to express his refusal: "I don't want to try it randomly. Anyway, my Xiaohan Festival is already strong enough. If something goes wrong, I will cry to death."
"Oh, I'm so cowardly. You haven't learned anything about my masculinity from Xu Hanshan. Your senior sister is like me. She has already listened to my words and practiced martial arts and discipline together." Old Xu said with disgust on his face.
"What?" Xu Heng's eyes suddenly widened: "Senior sister, is she a fellow practitioner of martial arts and seasonal disciplines?"
"Yes, she has been a fellow practitioner since she awakened to the festival. Didn't she tell you?" Xu Hanshan looked at Xu Heng blankly.
"Dad, you are... wrong. My senior sister told me that I can no longer be a fellow practitioner. How could she still be a fellow practitioner?" Xu Heng suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"That's because she underestimated you and didn't know your potential. I just told you that you are different. You are not an ordinary person." Lao Xu said very solemnly.
"Really?" Xu Heng was a little shaken.
"When have I ever lied to you? You will know after you try it. Open the seventh channel first."
"Really want to try?"
"Try, you had the ability to open the seventh meridians before, but now the meridians have been repaired, why not try and see what changes will happen to your body after opening the seven meridians."
"..."
Xu Heng fell silent helplessly. Looking at Lao Xu's encouraging eyes, he finally nodded: "Okay, just give it a try."
He stood up and walked to an open space in the living room, shook his arms, stretched his muscles, and then stood up.
"call!"
After exhaling slowly, Xu Heng's arm instantly punched forward. As his feet followed quickly, the second punch had already arrived.
The first stage of a warrior is to rely on martial arts to open up the eight meridians.
When he first opened up the six meridians, he always used the "Xu Family Arm King Fist" taught by Lao Xu. Now, to open up the seventh meridians, he must also use this set of boxing techniques.
Phew! Phew! Phew!
Xu Heng's punches were getting faster and faster, and whenever his fists hit, they caused gusts of wind.
Until after the sixth punch, he punched again.
With a "pop" sound, the muscles and bones in the body seemed to make a crisp sound like fried beans bursting.
The muscles and bones all over the body seemed to be stretched instantly, and an invisible force suddenly surged from the Dantian, penetrated one of the previously broken meridians, and transmitted the power to the fist unimpeded.
boom!
Suddenly there was a muffled sound in the air.
This punch successfully unleashed the internal energy, which meant that the seventh meridians were also opened.
"It's done?" Lao Xu was sitting in the restaurant and looked at him approvingly.
"It's done." Xu Heng nodded.
"how do you feel?"
"The coldness in my legs is really gone, and...the Xiaohan solar terms don't seem to be affected either." Xu Heng was a little surprised that it actually worked.
"So magical?" Lao Xu was also surprised.
"???"
Xu Heng's eyes widened immediately, "No, Dad, what do you mean by that? Isn't this something you expected?"
"I thought you had to at least open the eighth meridian to have this effect. It seems that you are very suitable to take this path. Come on, keep up your efforts and work towards opening the eighth meridian." Old Xu said with a smile.
"I have just opened the seventh meridian. How could I open the eighth meridian so quickly? Moreover, the senior sister at the school only asked for a month's leave for me. I have to go back and report as soon as possible." Xu Heng said angrily.
"What are you afraid of? It's just absenteeism. Come on, continue to open the eighth channel. Otherwise, if you absorb the Xiaohan solar term in the future, big problems will definitely occur."
"Fine."
…
At the same time, the Inspection Department.
Zhou Yanan was resting on her desk.
Suddenly, a hurried call woke her up.
She quickly sat up, frowned, and answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Captain Zhou, something happened. Xu Heng and his friends came to his house to look for him, and they found the kid passed out at home."
"What? Who did it?" Zhou Yanan stood up immediately.
"Team Zhou, we have been guarding outside. Before Tang Hou went to find him, no one else had entered his house, and there were no signs of a fight... Hmm? Wait, what's going on? That chair..."
Suddenly there was a commotion on the phone.
Then the member of the inspection department shouted: "Team Zhou, come here quickly, something is wrong at his house, the dining table and chairs suddenly moved on their own."
