Wang Wenwen and his wife sat at Zhang Yuan's house for a while, said some polite words of gratitude, and then left Zhang's house.
The mother, Wang Ru, wanted to return the chickens, ducks and eggs brought by the Wang family, but Wang Wenwen and his wife refused, so they had to keep them.
After sending Wang Wenwen and his wife away, my mother blamed Zhang Yuan for a while.
He also asked Zhang Yuan what was going on, but Zhang Yuan hesitated and couldn't explain clearly and beat him.
In the end, it was dad Zhang Ting who settled the matter.
"Yuanzi will go back to school in a few days, so don't blame Yuanzi. Besides, it's okay for Yuanzi to go to Wang's house. Yuanzi is capable and it's a good thing to be able to help!"
Mom just gave up.
When they returned home this time, Wang Ru and Zhang Ting both felt that their son had changed a lot. Not only had his body gotten better, but they also felt that there was an unspeakable change in Yuan Zi.
But as long as their son is healthy and successful in school, parents have nothing to worry about.
Zhang Yuan's parents didn't worry about this matter.

night.
The quiet Anping Village is dotted with stars.
In a lighted room in an inconspicuous hut, Zhang Yuan finished his practice and still sat in a cross-legged posture on the bed.
At this moment, Zhang Yuan's consciousness was reading "Notes on Alchemy".
Because he was in his own room and there was no one else in the room, Zhang Yuan had no scruples and directly turned his fingers on the pages of the book that appeared in the void.
Zhang Yuan would look through the "Alchemy Notes" every once in a while to see if there were any new elixirs in the "Alchemy Notes".
"Alchemy Notes" will unlock some new elixirs and refining methods as Zhang Yuan's strength increases.
Half a month later, after Zhang Yuan unlocked the primary Qi elixir, the alchemy notes were finally updated again with new elixirs and refining methods.
Dali Dan.
Efficacy of the elixir: After taking it, your strength will double, lasting about ten minutes!
Refining materials: 20 grams of 10-year-old wild yam powder, 2 orange peels...
Refining method:...
Body protection elixir.
Efficacy of the elixir: After taking the body-protecting elixir, it can temporarily increase body strength, improve the strength of the skin and bones, and increase the defense ability of the person taking the elixir by 50%!
The effect lasts about ten minutes.
Materials for refining body protection elixir: 100 grams of cowhide, 36 grams of pangolin shell, 12 grams of quartz...
Refining method:...
Zhang Yuan carefully read the two new elixirs that appeared in the alchemy notes, and memorized the materials, effects, and refining methods needed to refine the body-protecting elixir and the powerful elixir.
Although the Power Pill and the Body Protection Pill are not as valuable as the Tongmai Pill, nor can they restore the true energy like the Primary Qi Pill, they can improve the combat strength of the user.
After Zhang Yuan hunted the python demon, he returned home and repeatedly thought about the process and details of fighting the snake demon.
Although he successfully hunted the python demon, he also exposed many weaknesses.
For example, the spirit-slaying technique and talismans are suitable for long-range combat. In terms of close combat, he lacks the means to control enemies. Currently, he only has a powerful diamond spell, which can improve the body's defense capabilities and strength.
Facing a monster of the same level but with a strong body like the python monster, he lacks the ability to fight in close combat. Once the monster gets close, he can easily be killed!
In addition, he also lacks a handy weapon.
The hatchet at home can't even break through the snake demon's defense, which shows that it's difficult for ordinary weapons to hurt the demon clan!
Zhang Yuanzheng tilted his head and read the pages of the Alchemy Notes, when suddenly the cell phone on the bedside rang.
Zhang Yuan subconsciously glanced at the clock on the wall, which read 9 p.m.
Who will call me at this time?
During his freshman semester, Zhang Yuan spent all his energy on cultivation. In order to make alchemy, he even moved his dormitory outside the school, so he had very little contact with his classmates.
However, he still reached for the phone.
It was Li Hu, president of the Wushu Association of Tongcheng University.
Zhang Yuan answered the phone.
A cheerful voice came from the phone: "Zhang Yuan, are you still in your hometown?"
"Well, Senior Li Hu, what's wrong?"
"The time for the preliminary round of the Tongcheng City Martial Arts Competition has been determined. It will be in four days. You should prepare well these days!"
Zhang Yuan and Li Hu chatted for a while, and after asking about the specific time and location of the preliminary competition, they made an appointment with Li Hu to meet at the Tongcheng City Gymnasium on the morning of the preliminary competition, and then hung up the phone.
One month into the winter vacation, 20 days have passed, and school is about to start in 10 days. Zhang Yuan originally planned to return to school in 9 days, but now it seems that he will go to Tongcheng City in advance.
Zhang Yuan still attaches great importance to the Tongcheng Martial Arts Competition!
The first place has a bonus of 200,000, the second place has a bonus of 100,000, and even the third place has a bonus of 50,000!
Zhang Yuan is short of money now. Although he already has ginseng, the main material for refining Tongmai Dan, there is still a lot of funding gap to purchase auxiliary medicines.
And all the money he has on him adds up to only thirty thousand.
This more than 30,000 yuan includes his living expenses, rent, etc. for the next semester!
Therefore, Zhang Yuan needed money very much.
With money, you can refine elixirs to improve your strength, and you can pay for living expenses, rent, etc. for the next semester.
If he can enter the top three or two in the Tongcheng City Martial Arts Competition, he can get a large bonus and all these problems can be easily solved!
The Tongcheng City Martial Arts Competition is held for the second time this year. In the first time, senior Li Hu participated and got eighth place. Zhang Yuan is stronger than Li Hu. In theory, he can compete for the top three!
As for whether he can break into the top three, Zhang Yuan has no idea. After all, the scale and number of participants of the first session were much smaller than this one.
No one knows whether they will encounter powerful masters or even monks at that time. !
Therefore, Zhang Yuan decided to pack his luggage tomorrow, tell his parents, and return to Tongcheng City the morning after tomorrow.
When we arrived in Tongcheng City, we first went to Jiuzhuotang Medicine Store to buy the raw materials for refining the powerful pills and the protective pills, and then returned to the school to refine the pills, hoping to refine the powerful pills and protective pills during the Tongcheng Martial Arts Competition.
In this way, he will have more confidence during the game.
…
The next day.
Zhang Yuan's family of three gathered around the dining table to have breakfast. His parents lamented that the five-day Spring Festival holiday was so fast, and it was time to go to work again tomorrow, leaving Zhang Yuan to stay at home alone for the next few days.
Zhang Yuanba took the meal and said, "My classmate has found a part-time job in Tongcheng City. I plan to go there tomorrow and work part-time with him!"
Mom said reluctantly: "I've only been back for a few days and I'm leaving!"
She hopes her son will stay at home for a few more days.
Zhang Yuan said: "You all go to work tomorrow. I am bored staying at home alone. I just go out to work part-time to make some money and increase my social experience."
The mother still disagreed, and finally the father Zhang Ting spoke up to support his son.
"Just let him go. When the child grows up and has his own ideas, it's better to go to society and experience it in advance!"
Only then did my mother agree.
In the afternoon, Zhang Yuan was packing his luggage in the room.
Putting all the clothes and some food prepared at home into the suitcase, Zhang Yuan took out a crumpled white business card from his pocket while arranging the clothes.
Jia Zheng: Professional Feng Shui master and ghost exorcist, specializing in Feng Shui, exorcism, wealth seeking, child seeking...
Telephone: 177……
Zhang Yuan took the business card and thought of the fat Taoist priest who gave him the business card.
That day, he forced a business card on him, as if he wanted to cooperate with him on some business and make money together! At that time, Zhang Yuan was rushing to take the exam and didn't worry about it.
I forgot about it later.
Zhang Yuan took the wrinkled business card, thought for a while, and decided to call Jia Zheng to talk.
Although the Tongcheng City Martial Arts Competition has a lot of prize money, the competition has not started yet, and he is not sure whether he can get the prize money. If there is indeed an opportunity for cooperation with Jia Zheng, a new stable way to make money may be formed.
Zhang Yuan may not necessarily know how to do other things, but when it comes to exorcising ghosts, Zhang Yuan is now considered experienced!
Zhang Yuan called Jia Zheng.
The phone beeped for a while and then was connected.
At first, Jia Zheng thought it was an unknown customer calling, and his attitude was a little cold. After Zhang Yuan explained his identity, Daoist Jia's attitude became obviously enthusiastic.
"It turns out to be Master Zhang Yuan!"
"How about it? What do you think about working together?"
"Are you interested in working together?"
"How to cooperate?"
"I'll be in charge of finding clients, and you'll be in charge of handling them. We'll split the money we earn, four for you, and six for me. How about that?"
Zhang Yuan didn't know much about this industry and was a little hesitant.
Jia Dao added: "We can try cooperation first. If the business goes smoothly later, we can discuss the share ratio!"
Zhang Yuan thought about it for a while and thought it was a good idea, so he agreed.
Let’s try out a few orders first.
If cooperation doesn't come, there's nothing to lose.
Jia Zheng happened to have an order tomorrow afternoon, so he asked Zhang Yuan if he would be free tomorrow afternoon and let's go take a look.
Zhang Yuan calculated the time. He would arrive at Tongcheng Bus Station at around three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and made an appointment with Jia Zheng to meet at Tongcheng Station at around three o'clock in the afternoon.
