Qin Xuan: "??!"
Having read many online novels, he naturally knew what the heavenly spiritual energy Yu Cong mentioned was.
The source of cultivation, the foundation of the Dao.
As long as one walks the path of cultivation, heavenly spiritual energy is indispensable!
And this Yu Cong actually kept complaining about the thin spiritual energy here, which meant it had been in a place with abundant spiritual energy before!
Was it the former Blue Star, or somewhere else now?!
Upon thinking of this question, Qin Xuan immediately posed it to Yu Cong.
However, at this moment, besides constantly complaining about the thin spiritual energy, it had no intention of paying attention to Qin Xuan.
This was something he had considered would happen when his abilities were upgraded.
Otherwise, he would have been ignored to the point of self-doubt and questioning his life.
"Elder Shen, where did this Yu Cong of yours come from?"
Chen Zhongping and the other man didn't have as many questions as Qin Xuan. They only cared if the Yu Cong that Shen Zhengyang brought was the one unearthed during Longguo's live broadcast back then.
Seeing their expressions, Shen Zhengyang naturally knew they had misunderstood.
He immediately glared and said grumpily, "That Yu Cong is a national treasure, how could it be in my hands?"
"This one of mine was unearthed during subsequent excavations, and I collected it personally with the permission of the state."
"After all, not that many Yu Cong have been unearthed, and this piece has almost no research value."
Hearing Shen Zhengyang's explanation, the two finally understood.
Meanwhile, Qin Xuan's heart stirred.
The mysteries surrounding this Yu Cong remained unsolved.
Whether it was its texture similar to the wordless jade tablet or the information related to spiritual energy, it was very tempting to him.
Since that was the case, he might as well buy the Yu Cong directly.
Firstly, he could take it back to study and communicate with it slowly;
Secondly, he could ask his master and the others about the relationship between heavenly spiritual energy and primordial energy.
Having made up his mind, Qin Xuan got straight to the point.
"Elder Shen, how much are you asking for this Yu Cong?"
"I want to collect it."
Shen Zhengyang pondered for a moment and then stated his price quite frankly, "Five hundred million."
"I bought it from the state for four hundred and eighty million back then."
"I'll sell it to you at the original price, just making a small profit from the resale."
"If those two kids wanted to buy it, I wouldn't necessarily sell it even for eight hundred million!"
As soon as Shen Zhengyang finished speaking, Chen Zhongping and Ye Shuliang leaned over.
"Hey! Elder Shen! Isn't this just favoritism?"
"Oh, if Brother Qin buys it, you only charge a resale fee, but if we buy it, you won't sell it even for eight hundred million?"
"Where are we supposed to reason with you?"
The two "complained" at Shen Zhengyang with smiles, but they tacitly did not compete with Qin Xuan.
Although Qin Xuan usually found great bargains, and might make a fortune by acquiring them.
However, neither of them lacked money, and as friends, they would not do such a thing.
After Chen Zhongping and Ye Shuliang had each transferred the payment to Shen Zhengyang, Shen Zhengyang directly transferred a total of 3.1 billion Longguo currency in front of Qin Xuan.
He originally owed Qin Xuan 3.6 billion, but now, that was reduced by the 500 million Qin Xuan spent on the Yu Cong.
Thus, the extremely rare raw stone of "one stone, three types of water" was considered completely transacted.
With the transfer completed, the battle in the kitchen had also largely concluded.
Chen Zhongping invited Shen Zhengyang to stay for a casual meal at his home, and Shen Zhengyang did not refuse.
It wasn't that he was lacking a good meal, but rather that he wanted to use this opportunity to interact more with Qin Xuan.
Because his intuition told him that this young man was not as simple as he appeared.
Chen Zhongping, Ye Shuliang, and Shen Zhengyang took their seats, while Qin Xuan and Vladimir voluntarily went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes.
As dish after dish, all of which looked and smelled delicious, was brought to the table by the group, Shen Zhengyang suddenly gasped.
"Hiss!"
"Chen boy."
"Isn't that the Yuan family's girl?"
"How is she at your place?"
At first, seeing the heavily wrapped Vladimir, he was merely curious and didn't think anything was wrong.
But when he saw Yuan Mengqi also coming out of the kitchen with a dish, his expression instantly changed.
If he remembered correctly, this young girl should have been assigned to a new post in the army. How could she suddenly appear here?
Could it be that her visit to Chen Zhongping's home was also part of a military mission?
Seeing Shen Zhengyang's shocked expression, Chen Zhongping knew that the other party had been startled by Yuan Mengqi.
He burst into laughter and leaned closer to Shen Zhengyang, whispering, "At first, I was also startled when I saw the Yuan family's girl!"
"But before I could calm down, I received three more surprises!"
"Elder Shen, guess who these three surprises refer to?"
Shen Zhengyang's expression changed, "Could it be the girls from the Wan family, the Xie family, and the Fan family?!"
"Haha, you guessed it!"
"Oh? Elder Shen, how did you guess so accurately?"
Chen Zhongping was surprised by Elder Shen's accurate guess.
Shen Zhengyang blurted out in disbelief, "Don't tell me these four girls came with Qin Xuan!"
Chen Zhongping nodded in confusion, "Yes."
"They have some recent cooperation with Brother Qin, and when they heard we invited Brother Qin to visit, they came along to have fun."
"What's wrong, Elder Shen?"
"Why do you have that expression?"
Shen Zhengyang ignored Chen Zhongping and stared intently at Qin Xuan, who was walking back and forth.
It was as if he wanted to see through him completely.
Chen Zhongping and the others didn't know what those four girls were doing, but he, Shen Zhengyang, did.
After all, the transfer of the "Four Golden Flowers" to serve under one person had caused a stir throughout the entire military system!
His son, Shen Wuyang, shared this big news with him as the first thing he did upon returning home.
And after hearing this news, he had even jokingly remarked, "I wonder if these girls' new superior can keep them in check."
To his surprise, not even a few days had passed since he received the news, and he was now personally witnessing these four girls busily helping out.
One had to know that these four were the daughters of the top families in Longguo, and they had been accustomed to being served since childhood!
Yet, they had gathered here because of Qin Xuan's presence and were personally helping in the kitchen.
Then, what kind of identity did this Qin Xuan boy possess?
After a long while, Shen Zhengyang, having figured everything out, slowly recovered.
Taking a deep breath, he then lowered his voice and said meaningfully to Chen Zhongping and Ye Shuliang, "Chen boy, Ye boy."
"I don't care what you thought of Qin Xuan before, but from today onwards, you must treat him like your own brother."
"Whether it's in daily life or in transactions, you must exchange sincerity for sincerity, and never have malicious intentions."
Hearing Shen Zhengyang's words, Chen Zhongping and Ye Shuliang exchanged glances and nodded in unison.
Although they didn't know why Elder Shen suddenly told them this, in their hearts, they had already regarded the discerning and kind Qin Xuan as their good brother.
