Chapter 65: Friendship between equals
Time flies by so fast, and before I know it, the second school year is coming to an end. In the last half month, there are various exams, competitions, etc. as usual.
Qingshi took the fourth-level alchemist assessment again, but still failed, but Na Zhiyong finally passed the exam as a preparatory elder.
The various ranking battles in the Martial Arts Academy are naturally the most eye-catching. There are two biggest news. One is that Yuan Renfeng, who stole the show in the Martial Arts Academy last year, finally became the number one in the Dragon and Tiger Ranking of the Martial Arts Academy this year. Second, the top three positions on the Tianlong Ranking have not changed, but the rankings of Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian, who are fourth and fifth, have dropped a bit.
Duan Wutian's cultivation and martial arts skills have soared in recent months, and he actually won a move when he challenged Chen Tianye.
In the six months since returning from Dahuang Mountain, Qingshi has been distilling and purifying the four-season spring wine sent by Chen Tianye, and then blended it into the pulp and core of Ai Shan peach for brewing. In the end, Qingshi brewed Shan peach wine and Yiyihuo, each with a thousand and fifty six One hundred pounds.
Among the resources obtained from Sun Feng, there is a precious fifth-level spiritual grass Qianli Xiang, which is no less effective in improving Qi than the Marang Fruit.
The bluestone was added to the distilled spirits and brewed into a hundred kilograms of Qianlixiang medicinal wine. The brewed wine was golden in color and fragrant, and the taste was more mellow than a ray of fire, and the effect was much better.
Seeing that the end of the year was approaching, Qingshi sent out several errands and sent some rays of fire and mountain peach wine to Shen Feiyun, Duan Wutian, Zheng Fangyi, Teng Shouqian, Ji Yujia and others.
The quantity of Thousand Miles of Liquor was too small, so I only gave some to Master and two senior brothers, and kept the rest for my own use.
Chen Tianye was the one who provided the base wine, so he naturally had to pay more, so Qingshi asked him to come to the East Ninth Building of Cuihu Road to get the wine.
That night, Chen Tianye came to the ninth building on the east side of Cuihu Road. Qingshi opened the door and welcomed him in. Chen Tianye looked at Qingshi with a strange expression and hesitated to speak. Qingshi asked curiously: "What's wrong, Brother Tianye?"
Chen Tianye took a deep breath, clasped his fists and knelt down on one knee and said: "Uncle, please accept Tianye's courtesy!" Qingshi was stunned, knowing that Chen Tianye knew that he had accepted Ou Changzhi as his disciple. He quickly pulled Chen Tianye up and said with a smile: "Why did your master tell you?"
Chen Tianye said with some embarrassment: "Yes, I went to see the master yesterday, and he told me what he told me after such a long time, but you are so strict."
Qingshi smiled and said, "I'm just afraid that you'll be embarrassed if you find out. Look, we're not like this on weekdays."
"This..." Chen Tianye said, "Of course it's different!"
Qingshi looked at Chen Tianye and said seriously: "Brother Tianye, seniority is one thing. Just don't mess up in front of master and senior brother. We should still be friends as equals, as brothers!"
"Okay!" Chen Tianye said happily, "Of course I hope so." Then he frowned and said, "But I'm afraid that the master will be unhappy!"
"Hahaha..." Qingshi laughed, "Brother Amano is still not transparent enough. My master has always asked me to keep my nature and not go against my heart. Didn't your master teach you? In the academy Everyone knows that you, Chen Tianye, are dashing and heroic, but I didn’t expect that your status as a junior uncle would make it difficult for you to associate with me. I think if you are like this, my master, senior brothers and the others will be unhappy."
"Well said!" Chen Tianye laughed and said, "Yes, we are still brothers." As he said this, he patted Qingshi on the shoulder.
"By the way," Chen Tianye regained his usual free and easy attitude, winked and said to Qingshi, "Why don't you go and pack up those two living treasures."
"They knew it already," Qingshi knew he was talking about the Zhong brothers and said with a smile, "But you are not as good as them. These two living treasures didn't take my status seriously at all. I asked them for help, and they actually They took advantage of the situation and robbed me of a huge amount of money."
"Really?" Chen Tianye wondered, "These two guys are quite courageous!"
Qingshi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This pair of living treasures really does not go against the will or nature!" Then he told the Zhong brothers about the last time they went to buy Qi pills and spirit beast essence blood.
"Well," Chen Tianye said with a smile, "It's their usual style. These two old boys like to take advantage of others for fun. But they dare to cheat you. It's really unreasonable. No, I have to find a chance to clean up. them."
Qingshi smiled and said: "You have to clean up yourself, I am too lazy to argue with them."
Chen Tianye said: "Why don't you find the master if you want to improve your Qi cultivation? His old man's treasure will go to the sea!"
"It's my fault that my cultivation level is too low," Qingshi smiled awkwardly, "Master said that he has a treasure that can help me greatly improve my Qi cultivation level, but I can't use it now. At least I can use it after I have obtained the Qi Condensation Realm."
"Well..." Chen Tianye said, stroking his mustache, "The Chaoge Chamber of Commerce's year-end auction will be held again in two days. Let's go there again. Maybe we can find the treasure you need this time. .”
"I said, why do you go to this auction every year?" Qingshi said, "What can you buy with just the money you have?"
"You don't know this," Chen Tianye said proudly, "I am not only participating on my own, but also on behalf of Master. If there are really good things, whether they are what Master can use or what I need, I can buy them and use them with Master money."
"That's it!" Qingshi suddenly realized, "Okay, let's go there again in two days."
Qingshi got wine for Chen Tianye and gave him 200 jins of mountain peach wine and 300 jins of first-line fire. He also asked him to bring 100 jins each of the two kinds of wine to Mo Sihai.
Chen Tianye got so much good wine all at once, and he immediately drank a large bowl before leaving with a blush on his face. He didn't know whether it was because of excitement or because of the alcohol on his face.
Before leaving, Qingshi asked Chen Tianye about his loss to Duan Wutian. Chen Tianye laughed and said: "Duan Bald has made some progress, not bad, but he can only play for two months at most. As soon as school starts, I will beat him to the limit." It's hard to find teeth on the ground, just wait and see!" After saying that, he left freely.
...
Two days later, Qingshi Chen Tianye came to the Chao Ge Chamber of Commerce auction house early in the morning. As soon as he walked into the lobby on the ground floor, Chen Tianye raised his eyes and saw someone, and immediately shouted: "Senior Brother!"
The four people in front turned around together, and the one in the middle greeted with a smile: "Amano, you are here to buy some treasures again, haha..."
Qingshi saw that this man was tall and ordinary-looking. He seemed to have a friendly face, but he had a strong aura in his movements, and he was obviously in a high position. Several other people should be his subordinates and followers.
Chen Tianye took two steps forward, pulled the man's arm and walked towards Qingshi, saying: "Senior Brother Motian, let me introduce to you, this is Junior Uncle Qingshi."
The man was taken aback and quickly saluted Qingshi: "Song Motian has met Uncle Qingshi." He paused slightly and said, "It's inconvenient here. Please forgive Motian's lack of etiquette and make a special trip to visit him another day."
Qingshi knew that this was Song Motian, the second disciple of Gui Huadong and the acting head of the Yuehua Sect. He had a prominent position, and it was indeed difficult to salute a young man like Qingshi in front of such a large crowd and his subordinates.
Qingshi immediately returned the gift and said with a smile: "There is no need to be more polite. Amano and I are also friends of the same generation."
Song Motian breathed a sigh of relief, took Qingshi's hand and praised him fiercely, saying that he was a young hero, humble and polite, etc., and asked his subordinates to come over to greet him.
Qingshi stopped him quickly and said: "Master asked me not to show off my status. The heroes of your noble family should have the opportunity to meet each other again in the future. By the way, the Baihua Jade Liquid sent by Brother Song last time was of great help to me. Today is just the right time Thank you in person!"
Song Motian quickly waved his hand and said, "It's right for Motian to be filial to our uncle. It's just that the thing is too light. Please don't be offended, uncle."
Chen Tianye rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Motian, I'm not talking about you. Although this Baihua Jade Liquid is precious, it's too dark to cost my junior uncle four thousand high-grade spiritual stones for a small bottle. !”
Song Motian's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed: "What four thousand high-grade spiritual stones? I gave them to my junior uncle, and I didn't even ask for a single spiritual stone! Oh~ Could it be Fatty Zhong..."
Only then did Qingshi realize that Fatty Zhong was indeed very dark, and he couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
Chen Tianye couldn't help laughing and scolded: "I thought Big Fatty Zhong had quadrupled the price, but I didn't expect it to be a waste of money!"
"This guy is really hateful!" Song Motian gritted his teeth and cursed, "Uncle, wait and see how I deal with him!"
.......
Song Motian did what he said and acted resolutely. That afternoon, when Qingshi and Chen Tianye were tasting wine in the box, Song Motian actually escorted Fatty Zhong to apologize to him.
Fatty Zhong apologized to Qingshi and returned four thousand high-grade spiritual stones to Qingshi. Qingshi no longer talked about being friends with Fatty Zhong. He acted like a master and said nothing. He only smiled and watched Song Motian pulling Fatty Zhong's ears to punish him.
Chen Tianye was gloating about his misfortune, but Fatty Zhong looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. Seeing him like this, Song Motian tried to follow the family rules, but Qingshi quickly stopped and said: "Okay, okay, I won't do it next time." .”
After sending away Fatty Zhong, Qingshi left Song Motian to drink together. Song Motian was not very interested in wine, but he was quite impressed by Qingshi's good wine, so Qingshi gave him a pot of Baihua Jade Liquid in return.
Song Motian drank a few drinks with Qingshi and then left. Before leaving, he walked to the door but suddenly remembered something, so he stopped and turned around and asked: "By the way Qingshi, do you have the Baihua Jade Liquid that Fatty Zhong brought you?" How much? Is this a lot of wine for this jug?" He said, shaking the jug in his hand.
Qingshi smiled and said: "About half. What's wrong?" But he vaguely guessed why Song Motian asked this.
Sure enough, Song Motian was stunned and cursed: "What a piece of shit! No wonder Amano said 'a small bottle', I should have thought of it, this guy is at least half embezzled!"
ah! Qingshi and Chen Tianye looked at each other and realized that not only had Fatty Zhong deceived the spirit stone, but he had also stolen half of the Baihua Jade Liquid and put it in his pocket.
Song Motian was extremely angry, and Qingshi and Chen Tianye also smiled and shook their heads. Qingshi said helplessly: "This guy didn't steal the spiritual liquid and then mix it with water to make it fake. There is still a bottom line. Those spiritual liquids are just errands for him." Pay it!”
The three of them just laughed and cursed for a while.
