Forty years old, awakening attribute panel

Chapter 114 Ice Crystal Spirit Stone

Jiang Sheng ignored Luo Jiajun's explicit instructions and hints, drank a glass of wine, and left.

I was thinking as I walked.

"What a pretense! Anyone who can thrive in the currency circle is not a highly intelligent person, let alone a woman. She has more than 800 tricks, hundreds of millions of dollars in BTC transactions, and even what color I am wearing. I’ve probably checked my underwear thoroughly, so how could you not know that I’m married?”

"What Zhang Wuji said is absolutely true. Beautiful women can indeed lie!"

At the same time, Luo Jiajun, who was upstairs, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with half a glass of wine in his hand, watching Jiang Sheng get into a black SUV and then disappear quickly, and couldn't help feeling a little regretful and puzzled.

Just as Jiang Sheng said, how could Luo Jiajun not know that he was married.

But it was strange because she knew her well. She knew that Jiang Sheng's wife was an ordinary housewife, with average looks, average figure, and average EQ and IQ. She was completely different from Jiang Sheng. A perfect match.

For a woman like him who is rich, beautiful, has a high IQ, and can help him with his career, he shouldn't refuse her.

Unexpectedly, he completely ignored his beauty and talents, and had no idea of ​​further development.

Even except for the surprise on her face when she saw her for the first time yesterday afternoon, the rest of the time when she looked at her, there was no lust in her eyes at all, which was simply incredible.

"Men who can achieve great things must have great self-control!"

Luo Jiajun sighed a little, and then the information about Jiang Sheng came to mind.

To be honest, she did have some ideas at first, 2570 BTC, and according to her judgment, there must be something wrong with the origin of these BTC. Even if Jiang Sheng was hacked, she probably wouldn't dare to call the police.

But after checking Jiang Sheng's information, I found out that he is the marathon world record holder, and in the short time of contact with him, I felt a strong pressure from him, which was almost solid.

The woman's intuition told her that as long as she dared to swallow these BTC, Jiang Sheng might not call the police, but she and everyone in her team might die!

So in the end she gave up that terrible idea and honestly earned her own commission!

……

The next morning, the famous city on the waterside.

As usual, Jiang Sheng drank 1000 ml of Peiyuan Yangqi Decoction, which was brewed with ginseng from the Far East for more than 60 years, and felt the warm feeling in his belly.

After breakfast, he looked at the attribute panel and found that the attribute points had become 0.35.

The Peiyuan Nourishing Qi Decoction made from 80-year-old wild ginseng gave him a total of 0.08 attribute points. Then yesterday morning before going to Xiangjiang, he also cooked the century-old ginseng, and the result was an increase of 0.13. attribute points.

Facts have proven that the higher the age of the ginseng, the better the effect. On the contrary, the lower the age of the ginseng, the worse the effect.

But he was very satisfied.

Being able to exchange money for attribute points is a very cost-effective thing for him in front of him.

The problem now is that there is not much ginseng left, only enough for three days, and he needs to buy it immediately.

"In addition, I need to find a nanny to help me make the Peiyuan Yangqi soup so that I can take it at any time. I can't always make it when I remember to eat it. The efficiency is too poor."

"Secondly, I need to rent a big villa to facilitate my practice. However, the house here is temporarily unavailable, otherwise it will be inconvenient for my daughter to go to school."

As for buying a villa, he decided to wait for a while. After all, he did not dare to tell Chen Wenjing about the 100 million US dollars for the time being, lest she would have random thoughts.

This is a white lie.

After a while, if there is an honest way to get money, then I can "change the civet cat for the prince" and tell her the "truth".

"By the way, the track and field center has returned two of the four cars assigned to me. I'll return my eldest brother's and eldest sister's cars, and I'll help them buy two more. As for my own, I'll keep it first, lest Yu Zhiyong is too nervous and thinks I’m ready to run away with the bucket.”

If the warehouse is solid, you will know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know integrity.

Jiang Sheng had been struggling at the bottom for so many years and had an extraordinary obsession with money. He finally waited for an opportunity, so he took advantage of the track and field center.

Now that he has money, he also feels a little inappropriate.

Jiang Sheng is a man of action, he will do something immediately when he thinks of it.

Finding a nanny and renting a villa can be done together.

After thinking about it for a while, he finally decided to rent a villa in Nanhui District so that he could practice martial arts in the sea.

After contacting the house viewing agent online, Jiang Sheng drove all the way to Dishui Lake in Nanhui, not far from the Tinghuxuan villa area.

The single-family villa is more than 400 square meters, with outdated European decoration. The only highlight is a private garden covering an area of ​​more than 500 square meters, which can facilitate Jiang Sheng's practice.

Most people can't afford this kind of villa far away from the city, and those who can afford it look down upon it. Moreover, there are very few high-paying job opportunities in Nanhui District. It is difficult to rent out a house like this, and it has been vacant for a long time. , so the rent is relatively cheap.

Twenty-two thousand a month, including property fees.

Jiang Sheng paid a one-time payment for one year, and then asked the agency to help introduce a reliable nanny.

Then the agency introduced his mother, who is in her fifties...

Ask the nanny to boil the remaining three portions of ginseng into Peiyuan Yangqi soup according to the method he taught, and then use the vacuum packer he specially purchased to pack it for his convenience.

The nanny was left to prepare medicine in the villa, while he went outside to practice the "Bone Shrinking Technique" on the lawn.

Leg press, splits, somersaults, jumps...

After all the muscles, bones and skin are opened, then follow the method in bone reduction surgery to achieve the folding effect of each joint of the body.

Body folding is actually a manifestation of body toughness, just like an acrobat who can put his head through his crotch and see his butt.

There are also people who can let their joints move freely, clasping the fingers of their hands behind their backs, and returning their hands to the front by twisting their shoulder joints.

Some people can even twist their waist 180 degrees and walk sideways on the ground like a spider.

However, these require long and hard training to achieve, but Jiang Sheng couldn't be simpler. If he wants to fold his body, he only needs to use his inner energy to stimulate the fascia between the joints, and he can easily twist it. body without worrying about fascial injuries.

……

After dinner at 6:30 in the evening, Jiang Sheng and Xu Jian rushed to the airport, and then took a direct flight to Changbai Mountain.

At 9:30 in the evening, the plane landed in Fusong County, a small county at the foot of Changbai Mountain.

Although Fusong County is not big, it is a very famous hometown of ginseng. The history of ginseng digging can be traced back to 1500 years ago. 70% of the national ginseng trade volume is completed here. At the same time, there are more than 870 kinds of wild Chinese medicinal materials, mainly ginseng.

As soon as I got off the plane, a cold wind hit my face.

At this time, the highest daytime temperature in Zhonghai has reached 3 or 18 degrees, while the highest daytime temperature in Fusong County is only degrees above zero, and the lowest temperature at night can reach - degrees, so it is very cold.

Xu Jian put on his hat and gloves and wrapped his down jacket tightly. He turned around and saw Jiang Sheng, who was wearing thin clothes. He looked calm and calm and exclaimed: "Teacher Jiang, are you really not afraid of the cold?"

In fact, he persuaded Jiang Sheng on the plane to wear more clothes. Jiang Sheng said that he was not afraid of the cold.

When Jiang Shenglai was originally waiting to get off the plane, he said, "Damn, it's so cold." But he didn't expect that he really didn't care.

"Haha, it's really not cold."

After sleeping one night in a local hotel, Xu Jian took Jiang Sheng to a very large farmer's market at the foot of the southern mountain in Fusong County early the next morning.

Long queues line up along the streets on both sides of the farmer's market, all of which are filled with various freshly picked medicinal materials, such as Gastrodia elata, Ganoderma lucidum, Grasshopper, Changbai Mountain Daphne, Rhodiola rosea, Fritillaria, Astragalus, etc., among which ginseng is the most popular. .

The vendors were shouting loudly one by one, and everyone said that they were selling authentic wild mountain products.

Xu Jian rubbed his hands and sighed and said: "Teacher Jiang, these medicinal materials are basically picked from the mountains, 99% of which are artificially grown, but there will also be a small amount of truly pure wild medicinal materials that are cheaply treated as artificially grown medicinal materials. When selling, the prices vary dozens of times, which really tests your eyesight.”

"It's just like visiting an antique market. Many out-of-town medicinal dealers like to come here to pick up treasures."

Jiang Sheng couldn't help but want to laugh, "Everything can be gambled!"

Xu Jian smiled and said, "That's what I mean."

Jiang Sheng came to a stall, adjusted his breath and luck, and absorbed the energy between heaven and earth.

Soon, strands of free energy from heaven and earth gathered towards him.

"Huh? I didn't expect that the free energy here is so abundant. It's at least four or five times more dense than a reinforced concrete city like Zhonghai. It's almost catching up with the density of free energy in sea water!"

Jiang Sheng couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

Then he carefully sensed it and found that all the free energy came from the air, and not a trace came from the dozens of fat ginseng plants in the stall in front of him.

So he continued walking forward, following the same pattern.

After looking at more than a dozen stalls, he finally found a kudzu root similar to a big tree root, with a faint free energy diluted out and he absorbed it.

Based on my previous experience in purchasing ginseng, if it reaches this level, the age of the kudzu root must be at least 100 years old.

Of course, it is also a century-old medicinal material, and its effect is definitely far less than that of century-old ginseng.

But even if you discount it in half, it still has 50 years of medicinal life.

Jiang Sheng calmly stepped forward to negotiate, and finally bought a "wild ginseng" for 800 yuan, and then the "big tree root" was given to him as a gift.

The boss smiled broadly, thinking to himself that he had met another fool who thought he was smart.

Jiang Sheng was also very happy. The market price of this pure wild century-old kudzu root was estimated to be 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, and could even be sold for more than 100,000 yuan.

Continuing to walk forward, I saw another pure wild astragalus root that was over 300 years old and bought it for yuan.

Later, I bought some pure wild Gastrodia elata, Ganoderma lucidum, Grasshopper, etc., for a total cost of less than 5,000 yuan.

Jiang Sheng was very happy. Although these medicinal materials were sold at pure wild prices, they would not cost more than 100,000 yuan, but they had a completely different meaning to him. They were equivalent to at least two million ginseng.

However, each drug has different medicinal properties, and it is unclear whether it can be used as a medicine.

And these are just appetizers. Really good wild ginseng needs to be purchased from the big ginseng merchants here.

At 8:30 in the morning, under the leadership of Xu Jian, Jiang Sheng met Yan Peirong, one of the largest local ginseng merchants.

Yan Peirong received them warmly.

After some pleasantries, his assistant took out ten ginseng in wooden boxes.

"Boss Jiang, these are wild ginsengs that are over 50 years old that I prepared in advance. What do you think?"

After Jiang Sheng put on his gloves, he picked up the ginseng and looked at it one by one.

Jiang Sheng's eyesight is super strong, reaching the millimeter level. In addition, he can identify authentic wild ginseng by absorbing the free energy of heaven and earth. The combination of the two has also improved his eyesight very quickly. Now even if he does not absorb the free energy of heaven and earth, You can tell the difference between genuine and counterfeit products with just your eyesight.

However, even pure wild ginseng does not mean that 100-year-old ginseng is better than 50-year-old ginseng. It also depends on the growth environment of the ginseng.

For example, the quality of a 50-year-old wild ginseng grown in the Changbai Mountains, where there is no human presence and abundant free energy, is definitely one level better than the century-old ginseng grown in the outskirts of a city where there are dense crowds of people and where free energy is scarce.

In addition, whether the processing method and storage are appropriate may lead to a decrease in quality.

This is a great test of eyesight.

The reason why Xu Jian brought Jiang Sheng here to select ginseng in person was because it was easy to spot the ginseng and buy defective or fake products and then sell them to customers, which would easily damage his own brand.

As for Jiang Sheng buying fake ones himself, that has nothing to do with him.

Although Jiang Sheng could tell that these ginseng were pure wild ginseng, he couldn't tell the quality.

He immediately turned on the "plug-in" and began to absorb the free energy of the world.

The quality of these wild ginseng produced in the Far East was instantly judged. Four of them were of poor quality and two of them were of average quality.

The remaining four are pretty good.

"I want all four of them."

Hearing Jiang Sheng's words, Yan Peirong couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face. If he hadn't been so well-educated, he would have almost screamed.

The few ginseng sticks left by Jiang Sheng were all of the highest quality. Except for himself, it would be impossible for any other top businessman to distinguish them with the naked eye. They would need to use professional instruments to detect them.

But Jiang Sheng only took a few glances, picked it up and smelled it, and was able to pick the best one out of ten wild ginseng. It was incredible.

Yan Peirong really wanted to ask how Jiang Sheng recognized him?

But if such words were really asked, wouldn't it confirm the fact that he was shoddy?

So I could only endure the strong curiosity in my heart and quoted a price.

Jiang Sheng didn't waste any words. After confirming the payment, he paid directly. Four branches of the best Far Eastern wild ginseng were sold for up to 350 million yuan.

Jiang Sheng used the Huaguo Bank in Xiangjiang. There are no foreign exchange controls there. RMB and US dollars are freely convertible. You can also pay domestically. You only need to open permissions at the counter.

"received!"

Yan Peirong smiled and nodded, "Well...Boss Jiang is really a cheerful person. I, Lao Yan, like to deal with cheerful people like you. I wonder if Boss Jiang can give me a favor and have a quick meal?"

Jiang Sheng smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Boss Yan, we have to rush to other places. We won't bother Boss Yan until we come here next time."

Yan Peirong felt a little disappointed when he heard this. He was about to ask at the dinner table, "Okay then, we have a long time ahead."

……

Under the leadership of Xu Jian, Jiang Sheng went to Baishan County, Tonghua County, and Hengren County to meet with five major ginseng dealers, and purchased a total of 50 top-quality wild ginsengs, all of which were 80 to 1045 years old. Between them, a total of million.

Including Yan Peirong’s 350 million, it’s 1395 million.

Because he continued to spend large amounts of money, the bank's risk control system was triggered, and Xiangjiang Bank called him to ask if he was doing it himself.

After Jiang Sheng confirmed, the bank's VIP account manager asked: "Hello, Mr. Jiang, do you need to increase your daily consumption amount to 5000 million?"

Jiang Sheng said: "One hundred million per day!"

"Ok!"

After finishing the call with the bank, Jiang Sheng and the two had dinner in Hengren, and then rushed back to the hotel in Fusong County.

The trip to buy ginseng in Changbai Mountain was over, and he planned to stop by and check out several other major medicines.

21 ginseng sticks, if you take one stick every two days, you can eat it for about a month and a half, which is about the same.

Judging from his experience in taking medicated meals, if he takes too much of Peiyuan Yangqi Decoction, he will definitely develop drug resistance, so he plans to try other formulas later.

After returning to the hotel, Jiang Sheng settled the agreed fee with Xu Jian first.

Xu Jian, however, said with sincere admiration: "Teacher Jiang, your body is really great."

Others can withstand the cold through hard work, but Jiang Sheng is different. After running outside all day today, his body has been warm all the time.

You must know that the highest temperature in Fusong County today is only two or three degrees Celsius at noon. Ordinary people would find it too cold to wear a thick down jacket.

It can only be said that he is extremely talented.

Jiang Sheng smiled and said, "You go to sleep, I'll go out for a walk."

"Okay! Teacher Jiang, walk slowly."

Xu Jian thought that Jiang Sheng was going out to look for flowers and willows, so he didn't ask in detail. They were all men and knew it tacitly.

Send Jiang Sheng to the door, and after waiting for more than ten minutes, he also opened the door and went out to have fun.

After Jiang Sheng left the hotel, he headed all the way to the Changbai Mountain Scenic Area in the southeast.

After traveling thousands of miles to Changbai Mountain, it would be a pity not to see Tianchi.

It was past eight o'clock at this time, and the road became very dark after leaving the county town. However, Jiang Sheng's five senses were now sharp. When ordinary people could not walk without turning on the lights, it was almost the same as during the day for him.

Only twenty minutes later he had arrived at the foot of Changbai Mountain.

Then move quickly towards the mountain peak.

As you climb higher and higher in altitude, the temperature drops rapidly.

Moreover, strong winds blew on the mountain at night. The strong wind rolled down the snowflakes all over the mountain. At this time, the temperature was estimated to be more than ten degrees below zero.

Jiang Sheng also gradually felt that it was a bit too much. Originally, his body was resisting the extreme cold on its own, but later he had to activate his inner energy to resist, and finally he felt much better.

Soon I saw large tracts of snow, and occasionally gray-brown stones were exposed in areas not covered by the snow.

Finally I came to the top of the mountain and saw Tianchi, which I had been fascinated by since I was a child.

Tianchi is gray at night, and the lake is covered with thick snow.

Now that you are here, if you don’t take a bath in the water of Tianchi, it feels like your visit was in vain.

Jiang Sheng then quickly descended from the steep rock wall to the lake, cleared the snow on the lake, then broke off a stone and started smashing the ice.

It would take a long time to drill through the ice several meters thick with an ice drill, but under Jiang Sheng's terrifying power, a large hole several meters in diameter was quickly punched out.

After taking off his coat, he jumped into the Tianchi Lake.

And just a few minutes after he took off his clothes, a layer of ice formed on the water that had just been broken open. Can you imagine how low the temperature was?

The biting cold lake water made Jiang Sheng feel as if he had jumped into a hot spring.

Because compared to the weather at the top of Changbai Mountain, which is tens of degrees below zero, the temperature inside the water is only zero.

"Wow...so comfortable!"

He slowly sank into the water.

For ordinary people, this is an extremely dangerous thing, because once you leave the ice-breaking cave, you can easily lose your way underwater and be unable to surface again to breathe.

But Jiang Shengyi is brave, has inner breathing, and has huge strength. Even if he really loses his way, he is sure to break the ice under the water, so he is not worried at all.

Tianchi in Changbai Mountain is the highest crater lake in the world. The water surface of Tianchi is more than 2100 meters above sea level, with a water area of ​​9.82 square kilometers. The deepest point can reach 373 meters, and the average water depth is 204 meters.

Jiang Sheng was already at the lakeside, but his body was falling rapidly.

It took a while to reach the bottom of the water, and the water depth reached an astonishing 49 meters.

But this water pressure is no longer difficult for him now.

You must know that the world record for naked diving by ordinary people without carrying any equipment has reached 130 meters.

The other record was 170 meters, but the challenger did not return to the surface safely... Although the International Free Diving Association later recognized this record, the world record holder in the eyes of the public is still the former.

And with Jiang Sheng's current physical fitness, after several months of training, he is naturally more than one level stronger than ordinary people.

However, there was no light at all in the lake 50 meters below, and it was pitch black.

He turned on the lighting function on his watch, and now he could see clearly within five or six meters in all directions.

At this moment, a black shadow crossed from not far away. Jiang Sheng couldn't help but be startled, and the Tianchi water monster instantly appeared in his mind.

But if you look closely, you will see that it is a small fish.

"So there are really fish in the Tianchi of Changbai Mountain? I was shocked."

Jiang Sheng smiled, then stepped on the shallow mud at the bottom of the lake and walked towards the deep water area.

He has always wanted to try his current diving depth, but he has never had the chance. He just happened to test it today.

60 m.

80 m.

120 m.

150 m.

……

When he reached 247 meters, Jiang Sheng finally felt that he could no longer bear it. Although he could continue to move forward, the strong water pressure was rapidly consuming his inner energy, leaving less than one-third of his energy, which reached the psychological level. cordon.

So he did not move forward, but sat cross-legged on the spot and began to try to absorb the free energy of heaven and earth in the lake.

What he didn't expect was that the next moment, the rich free energy contained in the lake water quickly gathered into his body.

"No...it's not that the free energy in the lake is high, but that it came from the southwest and was diluted in the lake!"

Jiang Sheng suppressed his inner curiosity and continued to absorb the free energy between heaven and earth.

After the inner energy in his lower dantian was completely filled, he opened his eyes and headed towards the deep water area in the southwest.

After advancing for about 70 meters, we finally came to the place rich in free energy.

I took a look with my watch and saw that this was a volcanic fissure, with an opening about one meter wide. It was like a crack leading to another dimension. It was a bit eerie.

Jiang Sheng lowered his body and got into the crack, and then carefully dived for more than two meters, finally reaching the bottom.

The substance emitting free energy turned out to be a transparent substance similar to ice crystals embedded in the stone wall.

It took him a little effort to remove the ice crystal. It was about the size of an adult's fist and had an irregular shape. When he held it in his hand, he felt a biting coldness, just like an ordinary person holding a piece of ice.

Jiang Sheng sensed it again, and the ice crystals exuded rich free energy from heaven and earth.

He was suddenly excited.

"Fuck...what is this, a spiritual stone?"

He was excited for a while, and then sensed it nearby again, but no other similar substances were sensed.

"Hahaha, it's so cool. I actually got a spiritual stone and went home..."

He returned excitedly along the same path with the ice crystal spirit stone in hand.

After returning to the hotel, he studied the ice crystal spirit stone for a long time.

He discovered that as long as he did not actively absorb it, the ice crystal spirit stone would not dilute the free energy.

However, he still put a vacuum packaging bag on it. Even if he took the initiative to absorb the air after isolating it, the energy of the ice crystal spirit stone would not overflow.

……

In the next few days, Xu Jian took Jiang Sheng to several major medicinal material capitals in the country.

Jiang Sheng bought many high-end wild medicinal materials rich in free energy.

But all these medicinal materials added together cannot keep up with the ice crystal spirit stone picked up from the bottom of Tianchi.

Jiang Sheng, who returned to Zhonghai, was not in a hurry to practice martial arts or make Peiyuan Yangqi Decoction. Instead, he first visited several biopharmaceutical companies.

In the end, he spent 200 million to buy one of the Huaxing Biopharmaceuticals companies that was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Mainly because this company is relatively close to the Nanhui Villa where he rents, only a five-minute walk away.

In addition, this company is mainly engaged in technology development, technical consulting, technical services, technology transfer, and sales of chemical raw materials and products in the fields of biotechnology, medical technology, and testing technology.

The company currently has only 8 people in total, and the boss has been owed wages for three months. Trying to spread the pie has no effect. All employees went on strike and business was suspended. The company was transferred as a last resort.

The current technical person in charge is a twenty-seven-year-old woman named Luo Mumei. She graduated with a master's degree from the School of Biomedical Engineering at NTU. She has small freckles on her face, black-rimmed glasses as thick as the bottom of a beer bottle on her nose, and a nerdy look. appearance.

Luo Mumei nervously introduced the company to Jiang Sheng, the new boss.

Jiang Sheng was not interested in listening, and just asked: "You can do drug toxicology testing, right? And biological material analysis?"

"Will do!"

"Is there anything else missing in the equipment?"

Luo Mumei reported the names of a bunch of equipment, and Jiang Sheng said, "Go and buy it yourself. Let's talk to the finance department about how much it costs. By the way, our company has finance, right?"

Luo Mumei pushed up her glasses and said, "It used to be that the boss's wife was in charge of finance, but now there's no one."

"Then you can take over the job for a while."

When they returned to the rental villa, Taoist priest Dong Zhengyuan and "Pengcheng Xiao Mengchang" Gu Hongyi came over.

Gu Hongyi's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his left eye was punched with a panda eye, which looked particularly funny.
