I'll Introduce You to a Girlfriend?
"Let's do it this way!"
The Snow Maiden immediately began making mahjong tiles. Once finished, she summoned her followers and gave them instructions.
"On my way to Bright Moon Peak, I learned of a chess game. This game truly contains the Great Dao and is extremely profound!"
"In just a few days, I have broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm."
"It really has such miraculous effects?"
"Congratulations, Eldest Senior Sister! Congratulations, Eldest Senior Sister!"
The followers offered their congratulations, but the Snow Maiden slowly shook her head. "Sharing happiness is better than enjoying it alone. Since you have followed me, I will naturally not treat you unfairly."
"I have placed the pieces according to my memory. Now, let's play together."
"This game of chess contains boundless profound principles and is incredibly mysterious, but in order for you to understand it more deeply, we need some external things as a prize."
Why would followers have so many doubts?
They all exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you, Eldest Senior Sister, for allowing us to experience the Great Dao as well."
"There's no need for that. I've never considered you as followers; you... are all my dear junior sisters!"
At this moment, the Snow Maiden's expression showed a hint of sorrow and compassion.
"Then, Eldest Senior Sister, what kind of external object do you think we should use as the prize?"
"Then... one thousand Spirit Stone."
Originally, Snow Maiden also wanted to say 10,000, but... what if they are very talented, or they are incredibly lucky and win big in the first round?
Strictly speaking, Snow Maiden doesn't have much confidence in herself.
Afraid of losing!
Since we simply couldn't afford to lose, we could only bet smaller amounts.
"A thousand Spirit Stone? That's indeed just a small amount of material possessions, nothing to worry about."
"Eldest Senior Sister, please announce the rules. We'll listen to them!"
"Listen carefully!"
The Snow Maiden took a deep breath and slowly explained the rules.
then...
Looking at her obedient followers who followed the rules, the Snow Maiden suddenly felt a pang of pity.
They are so loyal to me, yet I am so unfaithful. Isn't that going too far...? No! I'm helping them comprehend the Great Dao; it's their blessing!
The Holy Son was even more direct.
How could he be happy after losing several million Spirit Stone to Qi Zixiao?
The Holy Son considered himself invincible in his time and naturally could not allow himself to lose to Qi Zixiao. Therefore, he prepared to practice his chess skills diligently!
How do you train hard?
Of course, it's to find someone to play mahjong with!
On the way back, he had already prepared a set of mahjong tiles. Upon returning to his Cave Residence, he immediately said, "Come here and play mahjong with me to comprehend the Great Dao!"
"Comprehend the Great Dao?!"
The Protector Disciple were taken aback at first, then became excited, and the card game... was about to begin.
Meanwhile.
Alchemy Room, Dan Chengzi was also making a racket, starting a 'chess game'!
On Bright Moon Peak.
Qi Zixiao has already entered the Saintess Pavilion.
Chen Cheng and Zhou Yining looked at the jade table and chairs that were still there and couldn't help but look at each other in bewilderment.
Have you learned it?
"You should... have learned it by now, right?"
"Remember this well, don't forget it. In a couple of days, you and I will take turns cultivating. At that time... we can also let others properly comprehend the Great Dao!"
That's how it should be!
Saintess Pavilion.
Qi Zixiao looked at the more than 18 million Spirit Stone she had won, her eyes narrowed into slits, and she could hardly hide her smile.
"Hmph, I finally beat that guy once!"
"It's just ten million Spirit Stone, right? This time, I made over eighteen million, and the five million gold coins were won from the Holy Son. I'm so happy!"
"Let's see if he dares to look down on me again!"
"Snort!"
After a moment of smugness, Qi Zixiao realized that time was running out, so she took out a Spirit Stone and started Image Recording.
Rewind time.
Earth, C City.
Lin Fan refined a batch of Jade Muscle Cream and delivered it to Qin Ya.
The latter was very happy to see this and assured, "Don't worry, I will try my best not to appear in the group with the other sisters until you get the next batch of Jade Muscle Cream, so as not to make things difficult for you."
"That would be best."
Lin Fan nodded with a smile.
Of course, it's okay even if you get caught.
Can't everyone have a little selfishness and keep some for themselves?
Who wouldn't have some ambitions after becoming such a wealthy woman with a large and powerful family? Therefore, he was fearless...
"From now on, we will need to rely on you a lot, Sister Qin. As for the supply of raw stones, the more the better."
"Don't worry about it."
Qin Ya nodded, then added, "But there's one thing to be careful about. Your method of blind selection, although I don't know how you can so accurately determine the value of the raw stones, might arouse suspicion if used for a long time."
Lin Fan nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
It's a very simple principle.
At first, everyone thought this guy was rich but stupid, and they were all happy to send him the raw stones.
But after a while... won't people get curious?
This idiot spends tens of millions, or even more, of money every time to blindly select raw stones... Is he insane? Even a real tycoon shouldn't waste money like this!
It was only because Qi Zixiao listened to Lin Fan's advice and didn't show up in front of those suppliers that her family history was investigated by now!
"I will keep an eye on this matter."
"That's good. If you need anything, just contact your sister Qin. I can handle most things."
"OK."
Lin Fan smiled and agreed.
After parting ways with Qin Ya, Lin Fan went to find another wealthy woman, Shi Wenke, from a family of herbal medicine practitioners.
Because he wanted to try cultivating a pseudo-elixir!
Whether it will work or not, he couldn't say for sure, but the conclusions drawn from practice are the only truth.
Why don't you try it and see?
In the reception room.
"Live ginseng, Polygonum Multiflorum, and ling zhi?"
Shi Wenke was somewhat surprised. "What do you need these for?"
Lin Fan said what he had already thought of, "My family has a history of imperial physicians, and the ancient books they left behind contain some methods for cultivating medicinal herbs."
"But I don't know if it will work, so I just want to give it a try."
"So that's how it is!"
Shi Wenke suddenly realized. "These things are really hard to get from other people; it would take at least some time. But I have them here..."
"Promise!"
She pointed to a flower stand next to her, where there were many potted plants.
"There are plenty of ginseng Polygonum Multiflorum here, and they are all of high quality."
"As for Ganoderma lucidum, it is not suitable for indoor use, but we have it in our cultivation room."
"Just name your number, and I'll have someone deliver it to you."
"Then... shall we start with ten of each?"
"Sister Ke, could you help me calculate the price?"
"You're slapping me in the face, aren't you?"
Shi Wenke was displeased. "We agreed before that we would help you find medicinal herbs and you would give us Jade Muscle Cream. Now we've used the Jade Muscle Cream, but we still haven't found the medicinal herbs. You give me some medicine, and I'm asking you for money?"
"Forehead..."
Lin Fan chuckled dryly, "It does seem a bit off, but then I'll take the liberty of accepting."
"Oh, right, I also want some medicinal herb seeds, not many, just a little bit will do."
The place we live in now has a small courtyard. When we rented the house before, Zhou Na even said we could grow some scallions and garlic sprouts.
Now... it can be used to grow medicinal herbs.
Ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, and Polygonum Multiflorum multiflorum are for cultivating pseudo-medicinal herbs, and it is more suitable to use live ones. However, Lin Fan also wants to try other medicinal materials!
Especially if it is cultivated from a young age, is it really a panacea?
So, if the prescription remains the same, but all the medicinal materials are transformed into spiritual herbs... would the efficacy of pills like Spiritual Energy Pill and Great Strength Pill be significantly enhanced?
"Take whatever you want, as much as you want."
Shi Wenke waved his hand, exuding domineering power.
"What's the big deal?"
"If you want anything else from me, I might not be able to get it, but medicinal herbs and seeds... take them all!"
"Sister Ke is so cool!"
"It's a small matter."
Shi Wenke's eyes darted around. "By the way, Little Lin, I see you're not young anymore, do you have a girlfriend?"
"Ah?!"
Lin Fan was taken aback.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm a married woman and I'm not interested in young men."
"However, my sister has a daughter named Bai Shao. While she may not be the most beautiful woman in the world, she is certainly no less stunning than a movie star."
"I think you two are a good match. How about I introduce you to her?"
Lin Fan: "???"
(O_O)?
"Excuse me for asking, Sister Ke, how old are you?"
"I'm thirty-eight now, getting old!"
(O_O)????
"And your daughter..."
"Sixteen, that's the age the ancients often referred to as the 'age of breaking the melon' (a metaphor for adulthood)."
Lin Fan: "..."
"Σ(⊙▽⊙"a!!!"
My dear mother!
This is definitely her biological mother!
Is it possible to find a boyfriend for a sixteen-year-old girl?
Lin Fan was both amused and exasperated, and could only say, "Um... I have a girlfriend."
"Got it?"
Shi Wenke was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "You can break up even if you have one, it's quite common to break up these days, isn't it?"
"Besides, you seem like a very honest person. Even if you have a girlfriend, you two probably haven't gone very far. Even if you break up, it wouldn't be unfair to the girl, would it?"
"This..."
Lin Fan was covered in cold sweat and could only continue, "Actually, our relationship is already very deep, and we've long since become inseparable."
"Besides... we won't break up, so Sister Ke, why don't we just forget about it?"
This isn't exactly lying, is it?
How far has the relationship progressed?
Strictly speaking...
I bathed with her body!!!
She used my body to bathe countless times!
Isn't that in-depth enough?
As for whether she's his girlfriend... cough cough, it doesn't matter, right?
The main reason is that he doesn't want to be with a sixteen-year-old girl... that's illegal!
"Oh, that's such a pity."
Shi Wenke said with a regretful look, "If you two break up in the future... remember to come find our daughter, she will definitely satisfy you."
"How about I show you the photos?"
"Come, come, let me take a look..."
"Shall we call it a day?"
Lin Fan waved his hands repeatedly...
In the end, Lin Fan fled in panic with the medicinal herbs and seeds!
"They're so enthusiastic..."
Back home, Lin Fan was still wiping away cold sweat.
Why is Shi Wenke so enthusiastic? Perhaps she genuinely thinks he's a suitable son-in-law, or maybe she's eyeing the Jade Muscle Cream...
But, is there a difference?
Lin Fan could not possibly agree to that, so for Lin Fan, the reason didn't matter.
"Next... we'll set up a small Spirit Gathering Array and see if it works."
"I hope it will succeed!"
