Cross-border surveillance

The two left side by side, and because they were in a corner, they didn't attract much attention.

When they left, the next auction item after the white flower dew had already begun. They could vaguely hear that it was a jar of Wuyishan Dahongpao, which was picked from the mother tree. In recent years, the mother tree has been banned from picking. How precious it is, but Neither Tao An nor Jiang Jinyu paid attention to the upcoming auction.

Whether it's the tree stump he bid for or the white flower dew that he sent for auction, Tao An can just hand it over later, but he's not in a hurry, and it's not convenient for Tao An to get rid of such a big tree stump for the time being.

When I picked up my mobile phone, the organizer also gave me a souvenir. Everyone would get one. It was not based on the invitation, and each souvenir was 'unique', or so they said, although it was of various kinds. It's such a gadget, but it doesn't seem to be cheap. The expensive one is estimated to cost thousands or tens of thousands of yuan, which is really worth it.

It is estimated that the souvenirs prepared by the organizers will cost more than one million in total, and it is hard to say the upper limit.

Then Tao An chose a bracelet. People said it was made of rosewood and it couldn't be fake. It wasn't that he was greedy for cheap. He came to this auction to see what it means to spend money like water. It really has a great commemorative significance for Tao An. .

Originally, Jiang Jinyu didn't want any souvenirs. It wasn't that she disliked the cheapness of these souvenirs, but there was really nothing she liked. Seeing that Tao An had already taken them, she also chose a jade pendant that was relatively pleasing to the eye.

What she was thinking about was a souvenir. It was of course commemorative. Every day and every time she spent with this pig was commemorative.

Perhaps regardless of men and women, when faced with emotional issues, everything is filled with embarrassing emotions that are difficult for "experienced people" to understand, and they themselves will be embarrassed to scratch their feet when they think about it in the future.

Of course, as far as they are concerned, whether Tao An is moved or Jiang Jinyu has liked him deeply and unilaterally for many years, it is nonsense to say how deep the relationship is. Feelings are not about personal mentality, but between people. Memories and emotions can be built up only through experiences together.

The auction is located in the suburbs and is relatively remote, but that does not mean that the surrounding environment and facilities are poor. Moreover, the organizer has also put a lot of thought into arranging vehicles for transportation, regardless of whether the people who come can use them. This attitude is really thoughtful.

So Tao An doesn't plan to take a taxi. Anyway, he can deliver within the provincial capital city. It's not that he's cheap, but it's not easy to take a taxi in the suburbs.

Where to go next?

This Tao An really didn't think about it. He didn't think much about inviting the squad leader before. He just wanted to take this opportunity to get along. At this moment, he felt a little embarrassed, so he asked her: "Where does the squad leader want to go?"

After saying that, I felt a little regretful. How could I let a girl decide on this kind of issue? Sure enough, what was said on the Internet was right. It is the individual's IQ that will lead to a decline in male and female issues. Damn it, I will have such a day.

"I'm fine." Jiang Jinyu tilted her head slightly and said with a bright smile on her lips. She didn't care. She was happy as long as she was with the pig next to her. After so many years of love, now she is getting closer and closer. It feels so good to be close.

In fact, she wouldn't object if the relationship between the two parties progressed faster. It would be like drinking strong wine, which is strong and intoxicating. It doesn't matter if it takes a slower pace. It would be like drinking tea, sipping it slowly, refreshing the body and mind little by little.

In short, as long as it's him, it's just him.

"Then find a quieter place to have a cup of tea?" Tao An thought for a while and said, there should be a place to drink tea at this point, right? It's not like taking someone to the amusement park. It's not convenient for her to wear a cheongsam. Simply pressing down on the road is crazy.

In fact, at this moment, Tao An still had some recollection of how the hands of both parties were separated at the touch of each other. Jiang Jinyu's hands were very beautiful, soft and tender. Maybe his mentality was different. Just such a touch was like an electric shock. The aftertaste was even He is a little nostalgic, it would be nice if he could hold her hand all the time, but unfortunately the heat is not yet there, and he can't make a bold move to hold her hand at this time.

Jiang Jinyu nodded and said, "Okay, I know a good place to drink tea. Why don't you go sit there?"

"Okay", Tao An has no objection.

Then the two got into the vehicle arranged by the organizer, which turned out to be a Daben. They both sat in the back seat. Jiang Jinyu told the address and the driver drove them there.

On the way, Jiang Jinyu smiled and said, "I thought you would take me to a nightclub or something like that."

"Why do you say that?" Tao An was stunned.

She pursed her lips and curled her eyelashes and said, "Because on your last birthday, I saw that you guys had a lot of fun. You should like that kind of occasion, and shouldn't all boys like that kind of atmosphere?"

"The nightclubs and bars you mentioned are just like that. We don't go there often. Occasionally we go there when we're bored, but sometimes we find them very noisy." Tao An said with a smile. My real life situation, I didn't deliberately say that I was so noble because of Jiang Jinyu, I would never set foot in such a place, there was nothing I couldn't say, and it wasn't a crime.

He paused for a moment and then smiled: "It's still a nightclub and a bar. Internet cafes are pretty much the same. Monitor, your outfit is not suitable for going to those places."

"In fact, my dress is not suitable for such an occasion." Jiang Jinyu nodded, and then said with great interest: "Actually, I have been to bars and other places a few times, but they were all private and I didn't watch them online. The atmosphere of an ordinary bar is like that, but I don’t hate such occasions. Maybe I can experience it if I have time.”

She doesn't mind sharing some of her daily life with Tao An. Although she has already identified the person next to her, the two parties still need a process of getting to know each other, and this is it.

Tao Anxin said that this was a signal for the next date...er, meeting? Then he said with some surprise: "I thought the squad leader hated such occasions."

"You think this is because of my family?" Jiang Jinyu smiled.

Tao An nodded. He didn't know Jiang Jinyu's family situation, but rumors said that her family was not simple. She was the eldest lady. Thinking about it, such a status was incompatible with noisy occasions.

Jiang Jinyu said: "I am also a normal person. I also have my own friends, socializing, etc. I also have the same living conditions as everyone else."

She didn't say much about her family situation.

"Yes," Tao An said dumbly.

Like many people, he has fallen into a misunderstanding in his thinking. He always feels that people from wealthy families are out of touch with reality. For example, when he thinks of eldest ladies and the like, he thinks that it is normal for people to always stay in a deep house. In fact, they We are all human beings, and our personal hobbies may be different, but in many cases our living conditions are not much different from those of ordinary people. The principal often goes to bars.

While chatting, the two of them came to a teahouse in the city center. It was still open after twelve o'clock, and it was open 24 hours a day.

The name is Shao Shi Ming, and the decoration is very elegant. At first glance, it seems that it is not a place for ordinary people to spend money. It requires members to receive guests. However, Jiang Jinyu just brushed her face. The manager came out to receive her in person. It was not known whether she was a regular customer or a regular visitor. I knew the owner of this store, so Tao An didn't worry too much.

Needless to say, Jiang Jinyu, dressed in a cheongsam, complements each other perfectly in this retro Chinese teahouse.

In the private room, Jiang Jinyu refused the service of the tea sommelier and planned to operate it herself. She said that she had been studying for a while and asked Tao An to taste her craftsmanship, which made him look forward to it.

Although there is no tea sommelier, there is a violinist playing the piano behind the rolling curtain in the private room. The sound of the piano is rare, and the soothing guqin music is very pleasant to the ears.

To be honest, Tao An has never been to a place like this, and he doesn't even know that the city where he has lived for so many years has such an elegant leisure environment.

When two people get along alone, there is no charming atmosphere, they are very relaxed and natural.

Sitting in the tea master's seat, Jiang Jinyu lit an incense stick and boiled water. His movements were elegant and pleasing to the eye, but Tao An was the only one in the audience.

While waiting for the water to boil, Jiang Jinyu was also making preliminary preparations, but he shook his head slightly and said, "It's just that the incense is a bit inferior. Although it's already very good, it can't be compared with the Ningshen Incense you made."

"If I knew I was going to have tea with the monitor here, I would have brought some Ningshen Incense. By the way, have you used up the squad leader's Ningshen Incense? I should make some more next month and give some to you then?" Tao An He muttered, boys should be more proactive, not licking. If you do it yourself, she likes it, and that's her intention.

Jiang Jinyu smiled and said: "I still have some there, but I'm a little reluctant to use them. If you want to give them to me, I won't be polite, but I won't take your things for free. I'll make up for it from other places if I have the opportunity." "You"

She did not reject Tao An's kindness. Putting aside the price of Ningshenxiang, she wanted to get closer to each other, and she was still a little excited. She could clearly feel that Tao An was taking the initiative to approach, and she said in her heart This pig has finally figured it out. Hey, let’s just say, there’s no way he can’t take you down.

Without getting too hung up on this issue, Tao An said instead: "Although I have never been to these places, monitor, your workmanship looks very professional and nice."

"It's just so so," Jiang Jinyu said with a smile. In fact, her tea art was praised by a master. The top student is just so unreasonable. Then she added: "Actually, the so-called tea art doesn't make much sense. The many processes and details are just for the sake of beauty, but many people like this kind of tune. The most fundamental reason for drinking tea is to quench thirst. When I say this, do you think I am describing this art as vulgar?"

Slowly chewing a piece of pastry, it tasted quite good. Tao An said: "I don't understand these things, and arty art is not something that people like me can achieve. However, the so-called art is what stands out in daily life, and happiness That’s fine, there’s no need to worry so much.”

"Yes, come on, have a drink and see if Biluochun is to your liking. Be careful of burning it." As Jiang Jinyu spoke, he reached out and handed over a small cup of tea.

After taking a sip, to be honest, Tao An couldn't tell whether the drink was good or bad. He suffered the disadvantage of being uneducated and didn't have so many elegant words to describe it. He was just a layman. He just said: "It tastes good. The monitor's The tea art movements add a third level of flavor to the tea.”

"Are you praising me?" Jiang Jinyu chuckled.

Tao An said bluntly: "I'm just telling the truth. To be honest, I feel like I'm in a dream right now. The monitor who looks like a fairy personally makes tea for me. This treatment is simply indescribable."

"It's not as exaggerated as you said," she said with a smile, and then added: "Actually, I don't have many friends. I have very little time to sit down and drink tea and chat like this. It's very relaxing."

In fact, it’s mainly because people are different.

Nodding, Tao An asked: "The squad leader should be very busy, right? Will there be any pressure at work?"

"It's okay. Work is work, and after work is life. I still make a clear distinction. As for pressure, it's not much. After all, I'm the boss. I just make decisions. Those who are stressed should be the following. "People, but I don't squeeze them too much. I usually give them very good treatment." She pursed her lips and said, not wanting to leave the impression of being domineering and cold to Tao An. In fact, she also lost her temper at work. But not to the person.

Tao An has never worked before. When he was studying, he thought it was fun and he had a part-time job. Anyway, he had no idea about the working conditions in an office building. He just said: "Listening to what you said, monitor, I think it would be good to work in your company."

"Then do you want to come to work? I'll arrange a relaxing position for you," Jiang Jinyu joked. In fact, she was still looking forward to it. It would be great if she could get this pig to come to the company so that she could see him more often. It makes me happy to see him and go to and from get off work with him.

Shaking his head, Tao An said: "Forget it, I won't cause trouble. It's good like this now, relaxed and comfortable."

If you really go to work, what will happen? Do you really want to be taken care of by the squad leader, and then be forced to eat soft food? Well, it's not impossible.

Of course, Tao An was just thinking about it, and it was impossible to take action.

"Don't always call me squad leader." Jiang Jinyu shook his head and didn't worry so much, although it was a little regretful.

Tao An smiled and said: "The squad leader is very kind."

Otherwise, what would it be called? Call a name? Small fish? It's not that big of a deal. We're still in contact and haven't confirmed the relationship yet. Even if it's confirmed, he probably won't be able to call her someone too intimate, like Xiao Tiantian or something like that. Oh my god, it makes me sick just thinking about it.

"It's up to you. By the way, is the white flower dew you make so effective? The organizer's promotion at the previous auction made me feel a bit unreal," Jiang Jinyu said, changing the subject.

To this, Tao An replied: "Actually, they are quite conservative."

This is a fact. Just like the Ningshen Incense, it is only the effect of the formula at the beginning. There may be other effects that have not been discovered.

After a pause, Jiang Jinyu said in astonishment: "Are you being conservative?"

"Well, monitor, do you want to try it? Although the organizer said there is only one bottle, I still have a lot in hand. You will know after using it. I originally planned to sell it online like Ningshenxiang, but I am a little confused about how to price it. , I just want to have a reference for the auction, and now it seems that I don’t have to worry about it,” Tao An said with a smile.

However, Jiang Jinyu shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's too expensive. One million for a bottle. It's not necessary. Besides, I don't need you to tell me, right?"

She refused very simply. Firstly, it was really not needed. Secondly, she had never refused Tao An's Ningshen Incense before, so what would happen if she accepted Baihualu again? She likes her, but she won't let Tao An pay with peace of mind. This is the case now, and it will still be the case in the future when they are together.

Jiang Jinyu is not the kind of little fairy who knows how to box. She thinks that men should surround her.

Tao An did not insist on this topic, and instead said: "How was the squad leader's stay abroad in the past few years? I haven't been abroad yet..."

Next, they chatted about all kinds of things. On the contrary, they didn’t drink much tea. They mainly chatted and slowly got to know each other in this way. After all, the mentality of both parties was not normal friends, but it was still a little subtle. At present, this feeling is very good. , neither close nor unfamiliar, just a touch of warmth, getting closer to each other little by little.

It was getting late at night and it was getting late, so Tao An offered to pay the bill and go home.

However, Jiang Jinyu said that she didn't have to pay the bill. She was a member of this tea house and paid a membership fee every year. There was no need to spend extra money on anything here.

Tao An didn't insist. He could only say that he didn't understand the style of rich people. If he paid a membership fee, he could come here and enjoy various services. So if he came here every day and lived here, would the store lose money? Well, most people probably can't do this kind of thing.

Then Jiang Jinyu said in a joking tone that if Tao An felt bad about it, he could just ask him to come back another day.

In response, Tao An said: "No problem, monitor, haven't you ever been to an ordinary nightclub or bar? Can you try it some other time? I'll invite you."

This is really enlightening. Are you taking the initiative to date me? Jiang Jinyu did not refuse, but said generously: "Okay, but when will it be? I can arrange the time in advance, and then if you have any buddies and friends you want to call, you can also call us, and let's have some fun together."

In fact, she prefers to be alone with Tao An, but reality always has to be integrated into each other's lives, and it's not like there are no opportunities to be alone together. It's okay for two people to experience the world of two people occasionally, but usually it's better not to be too Too unrealistic.

"I'll make arrangements and let you know in advance. Come on, I'll take you back first."

"Um……"

Tao An knew the address after seeing her off last time, so he took a taxi there and continued chatting about ordinary things on the way. He didn't say whether he would scold her for coming home so late twice or something like that, since she didn't have such a problem. Concern, I think it should be no problem to come home.

After sending Jiang Jinyu to the ground, the two still walked for a while.

Although both of them were a little reluctant to leave, they still had to separate after all. When they were almost at the door of their home, Jiang Jinyu stopped and said reluctantly: "I'm going back."

"Well, get some rest early," Tao An smiled and waved.

Jiang Jinyu did not back away like last time with his hands behind his back and said, "Thank you for seeing me off. Please be safe on the road."

After saying that, he hesitated and turned around gracefully. He thought to himself that it would be nice if he got a hug at this time, but it’s not that far yet. It was already very bold to take the initiative to hold his hand today. It was considered a small achievement. Bar.

Watching her walk towards the door of her house, Tao An paused for a moment before turning back and starting to take a taxi.

When he was approaching the door of his home, Jiang Jinyu turned around and looked at Tao An's back and couldn't help but shout: "Tao An"

"Huh?" Tao An turned around.

She smiled and waved and said, "Nothing, see you next time."

"good"

Then Jiang Jinyu went home with a happy mood, because he was looking forward to the next time, but it was not as tender as last time, and his mood was particularly different.

Tao Anxin said see you next time, and then looked at the two boxes in his hand in a daze. They were souvenirs given by the auction organizer. Jiang Jinyu was wearing a cheongsam and it was inconvenient to take, so he left them here with Tao An. He forgot to take them away before, so Did she do it on purpose, or did she accidentally leave it behind?

Give it to her next time. Tao An also looks forward to meeting again next time. Should he be bolder and hold her hand next time?

In short, this time the relationship between the two of them that was not a date ended...

The next day, after Tao An finished practicing in the morning, he drove a van to the auction house. He said hello in advance and went to carry out the handover. Then he got the money for the lightning-struck peach wood pile and white flower dew that he had taken.

When signing the contract, the organizer charged a higher commission, but promised to help pay taxes. In short, apart from the commission, Tao An not only didn't spend a penny, but also made tens of thousands more.

Then, as Tao An expected, the auction house invited him to the office to discuss cooperation matters because of Baihualu.

It had been expected, so Tao An was not surprised.

After some communication, the two parties reached a cooperation.

The auction house proposed two cooperation plans. The first is a buyout. It is not about buying out Tao An's formula and technology. This kind of thing is impossible even if you think about it. It has been mentioned that the price offered is also very high, 300 million. Hua Yuan, but Tao An refused, so he planned to buy out the product in Tao An's hands and buy it for one million bottles. How they operate in the future is none of Tao An's business, but Tao An can't do it either. Selling independently, because that will disrupt their layout. The second way is for Tao An to provide white flower dew, ten bottles every month, and they will take it to the auction for auction, and the whole process will be videotaped, and the specific price will be settled based on the final auction price. They charge a commission of 5%. Although this method is not a buyout, Tao An cannot cooperate with other auction houses or companies in the same way. Instead, he can sell it himself, but the amount cannot be higher than what they put up for auction. Yes, and it must be after the auction, and the price cannot be lower than the bidding price.

After thinking for a while, Tao An chose the second method of cooperation. After all, it was a win-win situation. In this way, he did not have to worry about the sales channel problem himself, and he had a fixed source of financial resources that should not fluctuate too much every month. Around ten million!

Various terms were written into the contract, and the contract was signed under the witness of a lawyer. Tao An was afraid of being cheated. After obtaining the other party's consent, he asked his lawyer sister to check it via video to make sure there were no traps before signing the contract. In this way, the cooperation was considered a success. Achieved.

After signing the contract, Tao An asked out of curiosity. He asked the auction house if ten bottles were auctioned every month. Did he get that much? In the end, the answer was that they would only have less but not more. They don’t just hold auctions in China. They have cooperation with many countries around the world. But for this kind of thing, things are rare and expensive. If there are too many, the price will not be high. .

Then the auction house vaguely mentioned that this kind of thing will definitely fetch a "sky-high price" in Europe and the United States, because there are always some people who want to "wash it out."

This kind of thing cannot be said on the table, because it will involve some kind of discrimination issue. It is very sensitive. If you are not careful, it will cause huge disputes. They even have to be careful when handling it for auction.

Secondly, the auction house reminded Tao An that someone had already used and experienced the bottle of white flower dew that was auctioned, and the response was already out, and they still wanted to buy it. The price paid was higher than when it was auctioned, but the auction said it was no longer available. , and concealed Tao An's information. This was not done to cut off Tao An's financial path, but for the sake of greater interests, because when there are too many things, they lose their value. So, please Tao An, please don't sell in large quantities. Good for both parties.

Tao An understands this, and he saves trouble by promising the other party that he will not take the initiative to sell in large quantities. However, it is different for some people with special relationships. But having said that, he knows a few people who are willing to spend millions to buy one. Bottles of skin care products? Tao An probably won't charge money for things that are really used by others, such as family members.

To be honest, does Tao An like money? He must like it. There is no one who doesn't like money. No amount is too much. But for now, he will not be obsessed with money. If this is the case, just by the Ningshenxiang and Baihua in his hands. Dew can create tremendous wealth, not to mention other fragrant products based on the secret recipe.

But he is very clear-headed. People, you can eat as much food as the bowl has. If you take too big a step, you will only scratch your eggs. With his current status and ability, having money to a certain extent is not a good thing, and may even cause problems. Bring disaster to yourself.

It’s good to just let things come naturally in this regard, there’s no need to be so impatient. Once you reach a certain level, wealth will come naturally, and you won’t have to worry about all aspects of it.

This is good now, it's just a small fight. The country is stable, the society is ruled by law, and there is no need to worry too much about reasonable and legal things, but you still have to be careful of some unexpected situations, but it is not a big problem.

After finalizing the cooperation, he came out of the auction house and sat in the van. Tao An couldn't help but feel a little dazed, so he was considered to be earning tens of millions a month?

Providing ten bottles of white flower dew every month, I don’t think there will be any setbacks, and the cost is relatively negligible!

What can I say, this incident had a great impact on Tao An's heart. After all, a few months ago he was just an ordinary person who graduated from college, and he was even worried about work.

But now, in just a few months, his life has made a huge leap. It can even be exaggerated to say that this kind of income is considered to be among the top in the world.

To be honest, his mentality has not changed yet. He is just like a demolished household. His temperament cannot keep up with the rhythm.

With a monthly income of tens of millions, how do you spend so much money? There’s simply no way to spend it all!

Although this little money is nothing in the eyes of some people...

Anyway, for now, Tao An has no worries about money. It can even be said that he has financial freedom.

Then he wanted to find someone to share his joy with, so he hesitated and sent a message to Jiang Jinyu. He just said that he had reached a cooperation with someone for his white flower dew, but did not specify how much it would cost.

Jiang Jinyu happily expressed congratulations. She was really happy. First, Tao An took the initiative to contact her, and secondly, the person she liked had his own career, so she was less stressed.

The so-called pressure means that Jiang Jinyu himself is too good and always has to worry about Tao An's feelings in all aspects. Now, the problem in this area is much smaller. The closer the 'distance' between the two parties, the better they will get along in the future. It becomes more harmonious.

"Human destiny is truly magical. If it hadn't been for the emergence of surveillance software from another world, I wouldn't be able to earn my current income, let alone the squad leader. This is reality."

Feeling in his heart, Tao An still can't figure out why Jiang Jinyu liked him back then. He even secretly hid a confession letter a few years ago. It's so magical. It can't be that his future self ran over and changed something. It's probably because he didn't go back in time and was reborn.

He didn't worry too much. He chatted with Jiang Jinyu for a few words and then drove away. On the way, Tao An was thinking, now that he understands his attitude towards Jiang Jinyu, boys should take the initiative, so they can't be as fine as before. We don’t even communicate, so it’s still necessary to send messages or something. Slowly get closer, occasionally ask out, and when the time is right, express your feelings. We will be together in the future. The squad leader is so beautiful, tsk tsk, flattering...

Regarding money, Tao An thought about it and decided to talk to his parents. He wouldn’t tell them his specific income, but he also wanted to let them know that he could make money, and it was quite a lot. It was not to show off, but to let his parents know I know my son is going to be successful, that's all.

Parents all over the world hope that their children will become successful. When they become capable, this is something that makes them happy.

Then, as for Tao An himself, he doesn't have much expenses at the moment, and his need for sports cars and villas is not that urgent, so keeping money is not a problem. He doesn't know much about investment and financial management. , I was afraid of being cheated, so I thought about whether to make my restaurant bigger, open a branch or something. I can discuss this with my parents, but I'm not in a hurry.

Driving the van, Tao An did not go home, but came to a rented yard in the suburbs. The lightning-struck wooden stakes he bought at auction were not small, and there was no place to put them when he took them home. So when he brought them back, he dismantled the middle and rear seats of the van. I just barely pretended to do it.

When he arrived at the rental place, Tao An looked around after getting off the car. When no one was there, he directly moved the wooden piles of at least four to five hundred kilograms from the car. It was not very strenuous. At that time, he installed A forklift was also used when driving.

If you move it directly into the house, this thing will not be invisible to others, but there is no need to close the door and look at it.

Tao An didn't pay too much attention to the wooden pile itself. He mainly looked at the green color in the lightning strike part. It was very faint and difficult to distinguish without looking carefully. If it weren't for the contrast of the surrounding black lightning strikes, he would have been hard to spot and miss it.

That little bit of greenery is not very large, just the size of your thumbnail, and it is irregularly shaped and goes deep into the interior.

To others, it might just be an accidental color change, but in Tao An's eyes, it represents vitality, just like the buds on the treetops in spring.

Well, in fact, he felt the vitality of a hammer, but it was just an idea after knowing that this was a treasure from another world, and it was just dead wood with a different color.

Of course, there is still vitality. If I insist on describing it, the green part is still different from other places and has a certain degree of activity, but it is impossible to expect it to be full of life and grow branches and leaves, even as the As time goes by, the activity will gradually pass away and completely become a dead tree.

The vitality of the green part is the key, it is a truly precious place. After being absorbed, it can bring a huge improvement to Tao An's martial arts practice and save more than a year of detours!

If not to say that the treasures of heaven and earth are hard to come by, it was a bit late for Tao An to get this thing. If he got it when it experienced a lightning strike, the effect would be far beyond the immediate. Tao An was not familiar with this kind of thing, so he guessed the key Nearly half of its vitality has passed away. After all, it is a treasure of heaven and earth, and its vitality still lapses very slowly. Under normal circumstances, it is estimated that it will take a few months for the green part to be completely reduced to dead wood.

"I remember that the name for this kind of thing in that book is collectively called green essence wood. There is a probability of such a treasure appearing in any lightning strike wood. After absorption, it can nourish the human body's essence, blood and vitality, and help improve low-level martial arts practice. There is also Chi Jing Similar treasures such as wood have different functions. The best among similar items is naturally dragon wood. It is watered by dragon blood and formed by the frequent visits of sky thunder. However, let alone getting that kind of thing, once it appears, the giants of the other world will If you guys can't sit still, it will trigger an unprecedented war, which may not happen even once in thousands of years."

Muttering in his heart, Tao An was also recalling the introduction and use of Qingjingmu in his mind.

This thing is naturally not for eating, and the method of use is also very particular. It is useless if used improperly, and it is not unheard of to use it as firewood by strangers.

The correct way to use it is to wear it on the body. During practice, it can absorb vitality and improve one's practice efficiency. However, it is not effective simply by wearing it. It requires special treatment in the early stage, and the treatment method is not complicated. That’s it, Tao An can do it easily by himself.

Again, this thing is a treasure in the hands of those who know the goods, but it is garbage in the hands of those who don't know the goods.

The specific treatment method is to take out the part containing vitality, and then put it inside a living tree for three days to completely awaken the vitality, so that it can be absorbed by wearing it on the body. It is very simple.

Once its vitality is completely awakened, it will be in a state of accelerated flow, and it is irreversibly emitted, so it needs something to restrain it. The best one is naturally jade, but there is no need to pay attention to the quality of jade, just prevent it from emitting vitality. Take it out and wear it on your body when practicing, and put it away when not in use until its vitality is exhausted and completely reduced to useless dead wood.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early and there was still some time before the afternoon practice, Tao An decided to take action immediately. He also hoped that his martial arts practice could improve quickly as soon as possible.

Then he closed the door and drove to the city to buy tools to dig out the green fine wood. Considering that it would be a waste if the lightning strike wood was lost, and it cost nearly a million, he would make it into a tea table. It would be nice to display the house once it is ready.

Tao An naturally didn't know any woodworking skills, but it didn't matter. He didn't know anyone who did. He checked online and went to a place that specializes in wood carving. He commissioned the other party to help build a tea table and agreed that the other party would pick it up at the designated place in two days. It doesn't cost much to make the wooden stakes and then inspect and pay for them. The craftsmanship and paint provided by others only cost tens of thousands of dollars in total.

Well, Tao An admits that he is a little bit arrogant, and he dares to treat tens of thousands of dollars as small change.

Regarding the difficulty in buying the jade box that restrains the life flow of the green fine wood, Tao An simply ordered it online, but he had to take it out first and customize it according to the size. He didn't pay attention to the shape of the box. It was very simple. If you want to wake up the life, you can get it. It only takes a few days to get the goods, so there is no delay or waste.

The process of removing the green fine wood after returning was quite simple. It was done in a few clicks and the excess part was removed a little, which was only about the size of a thumb. There was not much hidden inside the wooden pile, which brought Tao An an unexpected surprise.

Again, the treasures of heaven and earth are hard to come by. If they were too ordinary, they would not be called treasures of heaven and earth. The formation of green jingmu was originally formed by the accidental gathering of vitality after the thunder bombardment. It comes naturally and is almost impossible to replicate artificially.

The artificial non-replicable here refers to this side of the earth. It is different in the other world. Once you have reached a certain level of cultivation, you can control the thunder. If you want to get some ordinary treasures like this, there should be people who have this kind of means, but people who have that kind of means. I guess I don't like this kind of 'ordinary' thing, unless I occasionally make some for juniors in need.

After getting a small piece of green fine wood that was still in silence and slowly losing its vitality, Tao An took it to the yard he rented. There was a pear tree as thick as an arm in the place he rented, but the leaves were almost gone in late autumn.

He didn't want to kill the pear tree. Tao An just dug a small hole near the root of the tree and put it in. He didn't damage it too much. The bark was still attached. He covered it and it could be taken out in three days. Used for wearing and practicing.

After that, he placed an order online for a custom-made jade box based on the size of the small piece of green fine wood. After communicating with the store, the store was very happy and said that it was very simple and could be shipped in the evening. It cost 300 yuan to get it done. Pay attention to the quality of jade, as long as it is not fake.

After finishing all this, it was time for Tao An to practice Qigong in the afternoon.

He spent the next two days very peacefully. While he was looking forward to the effect of wearing the Qingjingmu after awakening his vitality, he also continued to process the materials of Ningshenxiang when he had time, even though Baihualu had solved his financial worries. , but the Ningshen Incense still had to be made, and Tao An was not so eager after promising to send some to the squad leader and then put it on the shelves for sale.

However, there are already people urging people in the backstage of the online store, and there are quite a few people who have left messages wanting to buy. Tao An considers it better to put some on the shelves. It has been fine for so long. I think someone will have a wrong idea. At present, it seems that Mr. Luo is still It was very impressive. It was probably because his old man had blocked some things. Tao An was aware of this. Otherwise, people like Zheng Jinen might have appeared long ago.

Occasionally, Tao An and Jiang Jinyu exchange messages, but they are not too frequent and only touch and go. Video calls and phone calls are not to that extent. They are not inseparable. The two of them are running in both directions, and it is not necessary to be cautious. It's just not that violent, like water flowing eastward, naturally, just waiting for the day when the water will fall into place.

That day, Tao An came home from work. After washing, he lay down on the bed. When the time was almost up, he opened the other world monitoring software. In a day or so, he would be able to take out the Qingjingmu and wear it to speed up his martial arts practice.

Originally, Tao An thought that this glimpse into another world was still a boring and boring daily routine. In fact, it was really like this at the beginning, but something unexpected happened later that Tao An did not expect, which disrupted him to a certain extent. Existing pace of life!

It was afternoon in the courtyard of the other world. It started as usual, with Zhao Yang practicing and Du Qingfeng giving guidance.

After Zhao Yang finished practicing and left, Du Qingfeng was planning to go fishing in a leisurely way. At this time, his apprentice Minghui actually came here.

But when Minghui came here, both Tao An and Du Qingfeng were dumbfounded.

Minghui's face was covered with blush, like a monkey's butt, her eyebrows were drawn black and thick, and her mouth was so red that it was almost bleeding.

With this makeup, she was originally a beautiful girl but she looked like a ghost.

But she didn't know it, and asked Du Qingfeng with a girlish shyness and coquettishness: "Master, do you think my makeup looks good?"

Du Qingfeng was a little stunned at first, his face twitching, but then he suppressed a smile and nodded against his will: "It looks good, it looks good, Xiaohui, I think you should go and wash it, otherwise your senior sisters and junior sisters will not be able to survive if you run out so pretty. "

Yes, you will make people laugh like this. Du Qingfeng is so uncomfortable holding it in. It is natural for a master to attack his apprentice.

"Really? I think it looks good too," Minghui said happily. She didn't know where the confidence came from, or if there was something wrong with the little girl's aesthetics.

In short, it was probably her first time putting on makeup, and she didn't feel anything was wrong at all. She even happily picked up a bronze mirror to look at her face.

Originally, it was really hard for Du Qingfeng to hold back his laughter over this kind of thing, but soon he felt a little melancholy in his heart, and suddenly realized that without even realizing it, his disciple had already reached the age where he loves beauty.

It is said that women should look good to those who please them. Could it be that my disciple has someone he likes?

Who is it? Wait until I go and chop him down!

When he thought that his disciple might have a sweetheart, Du Qingfeng felt a little emotional. How can I put it, just like the cabbage he raised was about to be eaten by a pig, even though his disciple had already reached the age of talking about marriage.

However, no matter how the master and apprentice felt at the moment, Tao An had no time to worry about them.

Looking at the surveillance screen on his mobile phone, Tao An suddenly sat up from the bed and stared at the screen, his eyes filled with confusion and confusion. At this time, his mood almost caught up with Jiang Jinyu's confession letter that day. .

One can imagine how much Tao An's mood fluctuated.

To be precise, he was not staring at the entire surveillance screen, but at the bronze mirror in Minghui's hand.

Tao An didn't know how much the bronze mirror in her hand was worth, or what process it was polished with. Anyway, it was extremely clear, not much worse than the glass mirrors here on Earth.

Because of the angle, Tao An saw the image reflected in the bronze mirror in her hand, which was facing the attic side of the yard.

In the picture reflected by the bronze mirror, Tao An saw the attic where Du Qingfeng lived. Tao An did not look at the details too much, but stared at a corner.

There, under the eaves, Tao An saw a hanging decoration. It was a gray stone ball, about the size of an eyeball. It was tied up with a silk ribbon and hung under the eaves. It was obviously the handiwork of the person who tied it. It's not that good, it looks like a child playing with it, and there are some tassels hanging down from the bottom.

This is not the key, the key is that through the picture reflected by the bronze mirror in Minghui's hand, Tao An adjusted the monitoring angle, and the ornament-like stone ball actually adjusted its angle as if it was gently blown by the wind!

I don't know why, but Tao An, who was holding the mobile phone at the moment, felt a little numb and his hands were shaking a little.

"I seem to have discovered something extraordinary!"

Taking a deep breath, in order to confirm his suspicion, Tao An clicked on the phone screen again to adjust the monitoring angle, staring at the bronze mirror in Minghui's hand.

Then, he adjusted the surveillance angle to the left. In the mirror reflection picture, the stone ball rotated slightly, at about the same speed as Tao An adjusted the surveillance angle. The tied stone ball itself did not rotate, but drove it to be tied. The silk ribbon is rotating, just like being blown by the wind, it is natural and not abrupt.

Then Tao An adjusted his perspective to the right, and the stone ball also turned to the other side!

As a result, Tao An's scalp suddenly exploded.

"Doesn't it mean that the stone ball is the key to my ability to see the other world across borders? It is the 'surveillance camera' linked to the software in my mobile phone?"

Muttering to himself, Tao An was a little confused at this moment.

If it is true, does it mean that as long as someone goes out with a stone ball, he can also see a wider world in another world? Even if you cooperate with others, it is equivalent to having a mobile monitoring device in another world that can be observed everywhere!

Tao An's heart skipped a beat when he thought of this. How could he remain indifferent if he could 'walk out' of the fixed courtyard over there? That means seeing more places, and directly exploring unknown worlds!

Not worrying so much for the time being, not knowing when the next time he would have the opportunity to observe 'himself' through mirror reflection, Tao An quickly tried other aspects with an uneasy mood.

At this time, he was not afraid that his actions would be discovered by Du Qingfeng. After all, Du Qingfeng had not reacted for so long. He would have discovered it long ago.

After some attempts, through mirror observation, Tao An discovered that the stone ball was the key to seeing another world. It was equivalent to a surveillance camera. No matter whether he adjusted the angle or the focus, the stone ball seemed to be blown by the wind. Other than that, there is nothing special about it. It seems to be an ordinary stone ball. It has no characteristics other than its rounded point, and there is no luminescence or heat to attract attention.

This process took less than a minute. Minghui looked at herself in the bronze mirror in her hand. She looked so beautiful and received "praise" from her master. She left with a happy mood. In this way, Tao An 'Itself' can no longer be observed through specular reflection.

After Minghui left, Du Qingfeng fell silent and was not even in the mood to go fishing.

Tao An also fell silent. The discovery of this cross-border peek was likely to directly disrupt his originally peaceful life. He felt a little at a loss for a moment...
