Chapter 21

"You are only seventeen this year, while I am already twenty-four, and in two months I will be twenty-five; there is no comparison, no comparison!" Xia Daoming shook his head modestly, but didn't deny his cultivation base.

Seeing Xia Daoming's modest appearance, Ji Wenyue rolled her eyes at him.

If others didn't know how powerful he was, how could she not know?

He beat a fifth-rank Great Wu Shi to death when he was at the fourth-rank realm, and now he is a fifth-rank Great Wu Shi; even if Ji Wenyue thought with her toes, she could know that his fifth-rank must be much more powerful than hers.

However, Xia Daoming's words also reminded Ji Wenyue.

He was not young anymore, and he should have no problem reaching the sixth rank before thirty, but wanting to reach the seventh or even eighth rank, the hope was very small.

Unless he could get a lot of financial and material support or have other great opportunities, he could increase his hope.

As for the Grandmaster realm.

Ji Wenyue didn't think about it.

Becoming a fifth-rank Great Wu Shi at nearly twenty-five, the chance of becoming a Grandmaster was very slim.

Moreover, the Transforming Energy Divine Charm Secret Map was a secret among secrets, and very few were passed down.

Even if Xia Daoming encountered a great opportunity and practiced to the eighth-rank realm before thirty, there would be nowhere to observe the Transforming Energy Divine Charm Secret Map.

"I believe Brother is just poor in family background; otherwise, he would definitely not be inferior to those top genius descendants in Li Cheng. Even now, Brother stepped into the Great Wu Shi realm a bit late, but as long as he supplements a lot and practices diligently, he will definitely be able to catch up.

Coincidentally, Little Sister has no other skills, but in terms of alchemy, I am confident that I am definitely one of the best in Li Cheng, and in terms of wealth, among the younger generation, except for a few, no one can compare to me.

Since Brother has come to Li Cheng, why not move into the Ji Mansion? Wouldn't it be more convenient in the future? All the nourishing pills and high-quality nourishing meat you need for cultivation in the future will be supplied by me," Ji Wenyue said decisively.

"I didn't expect that one day I, Xia Daoming, would also be able to rely on my face to eat and have a rich beauty take the initiative to spend a huge sum to keep me!"

Xia Daoming looked at Ji Wenyue, his expression subtle, feeling secretly proud in his heart.

"Brother Xia, why are you looking at me like that?" Ji Wenyue was blushing from Xia Daoming's gaze.

"You wouldn't have fallen in love with me, would you? I tell you, I don't sell my body," Xia Daoming said with a "vigilant" face.

"Pah, pah! Brother Xia, don't be narcissistic; with your appearance, do you think I would like you? This is me repaying your kindness!" Ji Wenyue blushed even more, her heart pounding, but she immediately spat out on the surface.

"Superficial, is a man judged by his appearance? When you grow up a bit more, you will understand that the most important thing for a man is his inner temperament.

With my temperament, you will understand when you know men; it is definitely fascinating!" Xia Daoming said without blushing or panting.

"Brother, you..." Ji Wenyue was speechless.

She had seen shameless men, but she had never seen one so shameless.

However, Ji Wenyue couldn't hate him!

No matter how shameless, could he be as shameless as in the desert?

"Forget it, you won't understand if I tell you now; let's talk about business. You are right, my family background is relatively poor, so I want to save some money and get the cost price of the Ji family's pills from you.

Here is five thousand taels of silver; you see if you can get me some pills that strengthen blood and internal force, preferably at the level of the Three-Yuan Returning Blood Pill, or better, or a bit worse, but don't be too different."

Xia Daoming said, taking out five thousand taels of silver notes and placing them on the tea table, pushing them to Ji Wenyue.

"Brother, what are you doing? You are my life-saving benefactor; why do you need money to get pills from me?" Ji Wenyue's expression changed slightly.

"I am not a person who uses kindness to demand repayment; you giving me the cost price is already considered remembering my kindness!" Xia Daoming said.

"Brother, what kind of person you are, don't I know? What kindness to demand repayment or not," Ji Wenyue said.

"But you already said it was repaying kindness just now!" Xia Daoming said.

"Brother, I am a girl; if I don't say repaying kindness, do I say I like you?" Ji Wenyue blurted out.

Only after the words were spoken did Ji Wenyue realize she had said the wrong thing, lowering her head, blushing, her chin almost touching her towering chest.

"This... is it really that men are not bad and women don't love? I have been so lewd to her, and she still... or is it that my personality charm is really that great?" Xia Daoming was dumbfounded for a while.

"Cough, you are still young. Let's not talk about this, let's not talk about this," Xia Daoming soon felt a bit unnatural.

Seventeen years old, she was still a minor in his world!

Of course, this world is different from his world, and Ji Wenyue's status naturally couldn't treat her as a minor; he was just flowery in his words and his eyes were a bit restless.

But the age gap was ultimately there, and having to talk about love all of a sudden, Xia Daoming was really a bit scared.

Moreover, he was raising a "golden cat" at home; just the day before yesterday, he had played poker with her for half the night, and now he was turning around to seduce an underage girl; was he still a human?

"I am not young anymore!" Ji Wenyue puffed out her chest.

"I didn't mean that!" Xia Daoming blurted out.

"Brother, you..." Ji Wenyue was blushing.

"Cough, I really didn't mean that this time!"

"Then what did you mean?"

"This... forget it, let's talk about business."

"Anyway, I won't accept your silver."

"How can this be! Even brothers should settle accounts clearly, right? Besides, didn't I already tell you not to make money from me and give me the cost price?"

"What settle accounts clearly, make money! I don't lack money, I just like giving pills to Brother for free, is that not okay?"

Xia Daoming was shocked by Ji Wenyue's last sentence and looked up at the sky, speechless.

"Really rich and inhumane!"

After a long time, Xia Daoming sighed secretly in his heart, then lowered his head and nodded silently.

Since he couldn't resist the richness of the rich beauty, he should enjoy it properly.

At worst, when he becomes powerful and invincible, he will protect her!

Seeing Xia Daoming nod, a happy smile appeared on Ji Wenyue's face, and shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks.

"However, the quantity I need for nourishment will be very large, even several times yours," Xia Daoming said.

"It doesn't matter, we Ji family have nothing but money and pills. I am an elder now, and also the most powerful alchemist in the family, so the resources and funds I can mobilize are far beyond what ordinary elders can compare to, and can even be compared to half a family head.

As long as Brother can absorb and refine them, no, even if most of them are wasted, it doesn't matter! The key is to improve your cultivation as soon as possible.

In fact, those Great Wu Shi descendants of big families, which one wasn't cultivated by wasting a large amount of good things, not to mention genius disciples, who received special care from childhood," Ji Wenyue said.

Xia Daoming had originally been worried that the quantity he needed would be too large and would arouse Ji Wenyue's suspicion, but now he realized that he had thought too much.

He consumed a large quantity to strengthen his meridians, and the conversion rate of medicinal power was very high, basically without any waste.

And those disciples of big forces, in order to improve their cultivation in a short period of time, supplemented in large quantities, and the conversion rate of medicinal power was very low, with significant waste.

In this way, at the same realm, even if the quantity he consumed was large, the gap should be limited and not too disparate.

In Ji Wenyue's view, it should be quite normal; after all, he was old and naturally had to supplement faster and more.

"Poverty really limits my imagination! Occasionally stealing an abalone and thinking it's amazing, trembling with fear, but never expecting that those rich people have abalone banquets every day," Xia Daoming breathed a sigh of relief and mocked himself secretly.

"Also, Brother must consider cultivating a few available people around you. Otherwise, being alone and weak, it is difficult to stand firm in this world.

Like our Ji family, many people covet us, but our Ji family's true experts are only my grandfather, but we use money to cultivate and recruit many martial arts masters and even Great Martial Masters, so others dare not easily move against our Ji family.

Of course, in terms of pills, Brother don't worry; as long as there is a need, I will provide them," Ji Wenyue continued.

Xia Daoming looked at Ji Wenyue, and his views on young married women and young girls suddenly underwent some changes.

It seems I am still superficial!

How can I generalize?

Young girls like Ji Wenyue are very good!

Not only do they raise me, but they even help me raise my people.

"Since you say so, I won't be polite with you, otherwise it would seem I look down on you!" Xia Daoming said.

"It was like that originally, why do we need to be polite between us!" Ji Wenyue blurted out.

"Then don't delay, take some nourishing pills for me today," Xia Daoming said.

"Since Brother has come to Li Cheng, why not move into the Ji Mansion? Wouldn't it be more convenient?" Ji Wenyue said.

"You are not only a great beauty but also talented and wealthy; I don't know how many wealthy family descendants in Li Cheng are eyeing you. I am a grassroots martial arts master, with no real skills and no background; if it spreads that you favor me, I fear your Brother Xia will soon die young!

So the relationship between you and me, and the fact that you supply me with a large amount of nourishing pills, it is best not to reveal it, even to those around you, unless absolutely necessary," Xia Daoming said, his expression serious.

Having experienced the dangers of the northern desert, Ji Wenyue had long since matured a lot and seen through a lot of human nature, so as soon as Xia Daoming pointed out the key, Ji Wenyue thought for a moment and nodded: "I understand, then Brother wait a moment, I will go back to the mansion and collect some pills to bring to you."

"Good!" Xia Daoming nodded.

PS: Starting tomorrow, Qidian will give recommendations, which also means that I, an uncle born in the 70s, will officially start competition with a group of young people. If the recommendation effect is good and there are more collections and follow-up readings, the website will give more recommendation resources. If I can't win the competition, the recommendations will be greatly reduced.
