Elaborate on the world of mortals

Chapter 825 I also want

After listening to what Mo Ye said, Yi Shuyuan and Jiang Lang hadn't said anything yet, but Hui Mian was eager to speak.

"In that case, sir, why don't we take advantage of our friend Mo Dao and have a drink at his wedding under the pretext of sending gifts together?"

Weddings and funerals are sometimes quite special, especially wedding banquets. There is actually some truth to the fact that many people who are down on their luck go around drinking at weddings to get married. But for Hui Mian, the dishes at wedding banquets always have a special taste.

"They are just preparing for a wedding, not holding a wedding banquet today. Moye, just think of it as delivering a gift and asking for two wedding candies for Hui Mian to eat. Besides, the gifts were sent by someone else, so do you have the nerve to take them for free?"

Jiang Lang had spoken. Mo Ye glanced at Hui Mian and then at Yi Shuyuan. Since they had no objection, he said "yes" and walked towards the gate of Chu's mansion.

Hui Mian whispered in Yi Shuyuan's ear.

"Then come over in a few days."

Yi Shuyuan ignored Hui Mian and looked at the gate of the Chu Mansion. When Mo Ye went there, the servants in the mansion were moving many tables and chairs. Even a wealthy family could not have enough of these things, and they had to borrow them when they needed to do something big.

"Come on, hurry up!" "Hurry up, the food will be here soon and we need to prepare it in advance!"

Several servants were carrying the things one by one, and the manager was supervising them nearby. When someone approached, he looked at the person. The person was wearing a light blue dress that seemed very elegant and did not look like an ordinary citizen.

Before Mo Ye came closer, the manager asked.

"Is there something wrong with this person?"

"Oh, I heard that the Chu family was going to have a wedding, so I was asked to come and deliver a gift to him."

Hearing this, a smile appeared on the manager's face.

The master has already said that we only need to invite relatives and friends in Changfeng Mansion, and there is no need to make it too ostentatious. Moreover, we haven't even sent out invitations, but someone actually found out about it and came to send gifts.

Although the Chu family is not what it used to be, there are still many good things about them!
"Oh, so you're here to deliver a gift. I wonder what your name is, where the gift is, do you need someone to help you, do you have a gift book?"

Mo Ye just smiled and shook his head.

"My name is not worth mentioning. The person who gave the gift is far away and cannot leave, so he asked me to come and congratulate you."

"Oh, the gift giver is..."

The manager wanted to ask something else, but Mo Ye, who didn't want to answer too much, just made it clear.

"The gift giver's surname is Jiao and his name is Quan Ling. He is from Dengzhou in the east of the Ling Mountains. His family was able to survive in the early years because of Lord Chu. He has always been concerned about it, so he made this trip today."

After saying that, Mo Ye directly took out the clam shell with a unique shape, jade-like texture and scallop-like stripes from his arms and handed it to the person in charge, who took it.

"hiss"

Such an exquisite item must be priceless. Although the shape is a bit strange, the jade material is really rare!
The steward of the Chu Mansion was also very discerning. When he saw the clam shell, he thought it was top-grade white jade. He took a breath and his attention was drawn to it. Several servants working nearby glanced at it.

"Uh, sir, this thing..."

The manager looked up and was about to speak, but found that the person who had just delivered the things was gone. He hurriedly walked out a few steps and looked around, but there was no one on either side of the road.

In fact, just a dozen steps away from the door, Mo Ye had already returned to Yi Shuyuan and others. Jiang Lang couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

"Jade Soul Shell, that Yaksha Commander must have some connections, he was able to get this thing, it's rare nowadays!"

Hui Mian jumped onto Jiang Lang's shoulder.

"what is this?"

"Hey, is there something you don't know?"

Jiang Lang smiled. Yi Shuyuan knew what this was. He had read many classics over the years, so he explained it directly.

"The so-called Jade Soul Shell is also a treasure. Well, I'm not just talking about the description, but also the origin of the word. At the beginning of the creation of the world, people picked up various beautiful shells from the seashore. The era when it symbolized wealth was far earlier than gold and silver. The ancients who picked up this thing were not very happy, and suddenly felt that it was the most respected among shells, so they called it treasure. Later, it was gradually used to describe precious and mysterious things."

Hui Mian was stunned.

"In other words, even the treasures and treasures that we cultivators often talk about are affected?"

"Well said!"

Even for those who practice spiritual cultivation, many things are actually affected by the changes in humanity, even some vocabulary, not to mention that the practice of Shinto itself is greatly affected.

Jiang Lang didn't wait for Yi Shuyuan to finish speaking and said the rest himself.

"This item has great symbolic significance since ancient times, and it also has a mysterious color. The Yaksha Commander gave this to me, which means giving me treasures and wealth, and that I will never lack money. It's a good start!"

"Is it just the prize?"

Hui Mian asked the question anyway, and Jiang Lang looked at him with disdain.

"Vulgar, so vulgar! I heard that the Tan family has this thing. Do you think it is useful?"

Hui Mian showed no sign of weakness, his mink face almost touching Jiang Lang's cheek.

"Tsk, is this what the Tan family relies on? If there is no monster like Tan Yuanchang, what use would the Tan family have of this?"

"Why are you so stubborn? The Tan family didn't become rich until Mr. Tan. They were also wealthy before, it's just that they became a little exaggerated later!"

"Is that just an exaggeration?"

Yi Shuyuan smiled helplessly at Mo Ye who was standing beside him, while the latter just stood aside seriously. He didn't dare to make fun of the two people who were quarreling.

The noise here was just like the noise of the people here. It seemed that the steward of the Chu Mansion did not notice it at all. After looking at both sides outside, he lowered his head to examine the things in his hands for a while, then told the servants to continue moving things, and he hurried into the Chu Mansion. In the backyard where Yi Shuyuan stayed overnight, near the study over there, the steward was walking hurriedly, shouting as he walked.

"Master, Master, someone came to give a gift and left a good thing——"

A moment later, Master Chu and Master Chu II of the Chu Mansion were studying the shellfish with the steward in the reception room. The two more knowledgeable elders of the Chu family pondered over it for a long time, and the more they looked at it, the more confused they were about what it was.

"It looks like jade, but upon closer examination it doesn't!"

"It looks like a seashell, but it's made of neither gold, jade, nor wood. It's also extremely strong, which in itself is enough to prove that it's a treasure!"

The Chu brothers looked at this thing one after another. They knew it was extraordinary at first sight, but they couldn't explain why.

"Where are the people who sent the gifts?"

The manager who had been standing nearby could only repeat what he had already said.

"By the time I took it to look at the things, the person had already disappeared."

"It's gone. It seems his Qinggong is very good. Brother, could it be Senior Pei? By the way, how old is that person?"

The manager thought for a moment.

"Very young!"

"This is not the case, or is it the descendant of the Pei family?"

"No, no, Dad once said that Senior Pei has no offspring, let alone any apprentices. Dad is always right."

"You said the Jiao family asked him to deliver it?"

"Yes, yes, it's the Jiao family. They said his name is Jiao Quanling, but they don't know how to write his full name. Then they left."

The two old brothers of the Chu family looked at each other, admiring the things on the table while sighing.

"I didn't expect that Dad has been gone for so long. He was unable to support us when he was alive, and we still rely on him for help after his death."

"Hey? Can this thing be opened?"

Master Chu was still sighing with emotion, and when he reached out and poked it a few times, the big shell on the table actually slowly opened up a crack, and a ray of light leaked out of it.

Outside the Chu Mansion, Yi Shuyuan suddenly turned sideways and looked in the direction of the Chu Mansion. Jiang Lang, Hui Mian and Mo Ye reacted one after another.

It seemed that only the Chu family members could release some kind of restraint by touching it. Even Yi Shuyuan, who had not touched the treasure just now, did not notice it.

At this moment, several people realized something.

"That bei is actually alive!"

Hui Mian was the first to speak in surprise, and then immediately looked at Jiang Lang.

"What's inside a living treasure, shellfish?"

Yi Shuyuan and Jiang Lang spoke almost at the same time.

"A ray of innate Qi!" "The treasure of the beginning of time!"

The so-called innate qi and primordial treasure are essentially describing similar substances, especially those in treasures, which are innate and have no attributes or form, and are in the most primitive and purest state of vital energy.

It seems to be just something similar to spiritual energy, but a slight difference can lead to a huge mistake. In essence, it is extremely mysterious and unusual.

Many spiritual practice traditions even use this analogy to describe a state of transcendence during spiritual practice.

And this kind of physical object embodied in the treasure is even more wonderful. In the alchemy classics compiled by Yi Shuyuan in the South China Sea a few years ago, he also pointed out the conjectures of the alchemy before the elixir is formed, one of which is the state of innate Qi.

After Yi Shuyuan and Jiang Lang finished speaking, they each reacted differently. The former seemed to be thinking about something, while the latter almost subconsciously walked towards the Chu Mansion.

It was only after Jiang Lang walked out that he suddenly realized that Yi Shuyuan had not moved, and he looked back in surprise.

"Old Yi, why don't you come?"

"What are you going to do?"

"Of course I'm going to take that thing. No, I'm going to exchange it. I thought there were no living treasures in the world! But I've also learned a little bit about it. This Taichu treasure is also a good material for making pills. The ancient alchemy monks regarded it as a treasure!"

Seeing that Yi Shuyuan seemed to be standing still, Jiang Lang thought for a moment and walked towards the Chu family.

"I don't care. If you don't come, I'll go by myself!"

Yi Shuyuan shook his head. At that moment, he almost instantly realized the use of the innate qi in this shell. It was not to make elixirs directly, but the image of lotus on the waves of Ejiang River flashed through his mind.

The meaning of this is not just the blooming of the lotus, but also the possibility of a Taoist elixir.

As a master of alchemy, especially after compiling the "Alchemy Classic", Yi Shuyuan also has the same pursuit as alchemy practitioners throughout the ages, to refine more mysterious elixirs.

Of course at this moment, Yi Shuyuan hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the Chu Mansion.

"Perhaps this is the only living baby left in the world, but unfortunately, it can't survive."

While the self-talk came out of Yi Shuyuan's mouth, it also represented his desires.

Inside the Chu residence, the shell that had a crack on the table began to tremble slightly with a "cluck, cluck, cluck" sound.
