Chapter 64: You're not trying to steal someone's business, are you?

Li Ergou closed his eyes. His heartbeat gradually slowed down, and his breathing became long and steady..

He felt as if he were in a vast grassland, and the wind around him gently brushed past, bringing with it the fresh fragrance of grass..

He followed the instructions of the Mad Dragon Technique and began to mobilize the spiritual energy in his body, flowing along specific meridians..

These internal forces shuttled through his body like streams converging into rivers, gradually becoming turbulent..

As time passed, his body began to produce warm currents that burned like flames, gradually wrapping his body..

He felt his body begin to grow lighter, as if it were going to float away with the wind.

At this moment, an unusual light flashed from the jade pendant and entered Li Ergou's body with a whoosh..

?.?????.??

Suddenly, Li Ergou felt a powerful energy surge out of his body, instantly filling his body..

This energy was like a violent torrent surging through his meridians, causing his entire body to tremble..

He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, trying to endure the onslaught of energy.

His body seemed to be undergoing an earth-shaking transformation. Every cell was being reshaped by this energy..

Gradually, he felt his consciousness begin to blur, as if he had been taken to a mysterious space by this energy..

In this space, he saw countless stars shining and heard the melodious dragon roar..

He felt as if he had become one with this starry sky, becoming one of the countless stars..

Under the baptism of this energy, his body seemed to have been reshaped. Every inch of his muscles was filled with explosive power..

He felt as if his bones had been forged stronger, as if they could bear the weight of a thousand pounds.

His internal organs were strengthened, and every heartbeat was full of life..

Suddenly, his eyes suddenly opened, and two rays of light shot out like sharp swords..

He felt his vision become clearer, as if he could see through everything.

His consciousness had also become sharper, and he was able to catch all the subtle changes in his surroundings..

He gently punched out, and the air seemed to be torn open, making a hissing sound..

He felt as if his power was infinite, as if he could destroy all obstacles.

His face was filled with ecstasy. He could feel that the Yin-Yang Sacred Sky Technique had already been upgraded to the second level, and the first level of the Mad Dragon Mantra had also been fully cultivated..

He laughed proudly and quickly left the cave.

As soon as he walked out of the cave, he saw several figures..

The young man and the burly middle-aged man were standing at the mouth of the cave.

When they saw Li Ergou, they asked sternly,"What do you do? Why are you here?"

Li Ergou quickly pretended to be honest.

"I'm a villager from Taoyuan Village. I'm here to pick herbs. What's wrong?"

Li Ergou answered while secretly observing the two strangers..

Their eyes are sharp, and they don't seem to be that easy to fool..

He quickly thought of countermeasures in his heart, but he maintained an honest smile on his face..

This isn't the place for you villagers to come..

The burly middle-aged man frowned, his voice carrying a hint of authority..

Li Ergou's heart tightened, but on the surface, he lowered his head even more respectfully..

"I know this place is deep in the mountain forest. I rarely come here..

Today, I heard that there is a rare herb here, so I took the risk to come.

”

As he spoke, he deliberately took out the herbs in his basket and displayed them, then quickly put them back, afraid that he would be seen through.

What's wrong?.

The middle-aged man nodded lightly..

"Alright! Let me tell you, young man, this mountain has been contracted by our Feng family. Don't come again in the future!"

Li Ergou's heart moved, but he pretended to be frightened and regretful..

"Ah? This place has been contracted by the Feng family? I…I didn't know! I'm really sorry, I don't dare to come here again..

”

As he spoke, he quickly retreated, as if afraid of being caught by the other party..

The middle-aged man looked at him panicking and a trace of doubt flashed across his eyes, but in the end, he waved his hand..

"Come on, don't come again..

”

Li Ergou nodded and bowed as if he had been pardoned. He turned around and left..

His heartbeat gradually returned to normal, but his heart was full of vigilance..

After Li Ergou left, Feng Shuai looked at Zhao Qingshan beside him and asked,"Uncle Zhao, I think this kid is sneaky. Could he have noticed something?"

Zhao Qingshan shook his head gently..

"Handsome, I don't think so. We've completed the contract procedures in the next two days. Quickly alert this area. No outsiders are allowed to enter. After that, we'll start digging on a large scale. Don't worry, the spirit stones will all belong to our Feng family!"

As soon as Zhao Qingshan finished speaking, Feng Shuai urged him impatiently,"Uncle Zhao, let's get started! I can't wait to see those spirit stones.".

”

Zhao Qingshan smiled and nodded. He then took out a yellow map from his pocket and spread it on the ground..

He pointed at a certain area on the map and explained in detail,"Little Marshal, according to the records on the map, the spirit stones are most likely buried deep in this area.".

We need to start digging here and dig deeper..

”

Feng Shuai's eyes lit up as he stared at the marks on the map, as if he had already seen the sparkling spirit stones..

He clenched his fists excitedly and said in a trembling voice,"Uncle Zhao, let's get started! I can't wait anymore!"

……

Ten minutes later, Li Ergou returned home. He looked at Liu Ruxue and asked,"Sister Ruxue, have you contracted out all the back hills of our village?"

Liu Ruxue's face revealed a confused expression..

"I'm not sure about that. Wang Tianlai and the others should have done all this. What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. I was just asking!" Li Ergou said as he walked to the backyard..

The pheasant population has doubled..

The corners of his mouth curved into a happy smile..

the next morning.

Li Ergou brought a dozen pheasants and headed towards the Imperial Hotel..

Half an hour later, he arrived at the back kitchen of the Imperial Hotel. After handing the pheasant to the person in charge, he walked towards Tian Rou's office..

"Knock!"

He knocked softly on the door.

A moment later, Tian Rou's voice came out..

"Come in!"

Li Ergou pushed the door open and walked in..

"Ergou, it's you. Sit down quickly..

After Tian Rou saw Li Ergou, the corner of his mouth revealed a gentle smile..

"Ergou, how's the cooperative doing?"

：.

"Thanks to President Tian's help, it's under construction. I specially sent more than ten pheasants today.

Chapter 64: You're not trying to steal other people's business, are you?(2/2)

There's bound to be more and more..

"Li Ergou smiled and said.

"Okay, I believe you!" Tian Rou smiled..

"Oh right, Ergou, you came just in time today. Miracle Doctor Yan contacted me the day before yesterday and wanted to treat you to a meal. Do you have time today?"

Li Ergou thought for a moment and nodded..

"Alright, I'll contact him now..

Then he picked up his phone and called Yan Jingtian..

?.?????.??

After a while, Tian Rou said,"We've already made an appointment. I'll take you to eat Jiangbei specialties at noon!"

"Didn't we eat at the hotel?" Li Ergou asked curiously..

"No, this is Miracle Doctor Yan's idea. Just follow me. I'll definitely feed you..

Tian Rou explained.

Li Ergou nodded. He was curious..

At noon, Tian Rou drove the car and brought Li Ergou to a small restaurant located in the western suburbs of Jiangbei..

The restaurant was very ordinary, and even looked a little shabby, as if it had been for some years..

However, the strange thing was that there were a few luxury cars parked at the door. Obviously, they didn't fit..

Li Ergou looked at the restaurant in front of him and couldn't help but feel curious..

When they entered the restaurant, a beautiful young woman immediately greeted them. When she saw Tian Rou, her face revealed a friendly smile..

This young woman was wearing a purple skirt. Her skirt swayed gently as she walked, like a blooming purple flower..

The fullness of the chest is ready to come out, like a gully, which makes people unable to help but linger.

Her long hair draped casually over her shoulders, contrasting sharply with her purple skirt, and making her skin appear even fairer.

"President Tian, you're here," said the beautiful young woman respectfully..

Tian Rou nodded and smiled as she introduced,"Ergou, this is the owner of the restaurant and my good friend Sun Qian."

Sun Qian turned her gaze to Li Ergou and sized him up. A trace of surprise flashed across her eyes..

Li Ergou felt a little uncomfortable under Sun Qian's gaze. He scratched his head and revealed an honest smile..

Sun Qian came back to her senses and concealed the surprise in her eyes. She extended her hand enthusiastically."You're Ergou Li. You're really lucky. I've long heard President Tian say that you're a capable person. It's really amazing that you can raise such a good pheasant.".

”

Li Ergou shook her hand and smiled modestly."Boss Sun, you flatter me!"

Sun Qian smiled and said,"I heard from President Tian that you're currently working on a cooperative. You might have a chance to work together in the future. Don't forget about me!"

"Definitely, definitely!"

Li Ergou looked at the beautiful Sun Qian and felt a little uneasy..

Tian Rou said,"Sister Qian, stop teasing him. Has my guest arrived yet?"

"Here it is, inside the box..

Sun Qian said..

"Then let's go in first. Sister Qian, I'm about to make a statement. You can't embarrass me today!" Tian Rou said with a smile..

"Rest assured!" Sun Qian smiled confidently..

Tian Rou and Li Ergou walked into the hotel..

The interior decoration of the hotel is simple, and some traditional cultural decorative paintings of Jiangbei are hung on the wall, giving people a different cultural atmosphere..

They came to an elegantly decorated private room. Tian Rou gently pushed open the door..

Inside the room, an old man wearing a white robe was waiting. It was Yan Jingtian..

His gaze swept over Li Ergou, and a trace of admiration flashed across his eyes..

"Miss Tian, Brother Ergou, please sit down..

"The sky is full of smiles..

The three of them took their seats in turn.

"Brother Ergou, I specially asked President Tian to find you today because I want to thank you for teaching me the acupuncture method. I also want to have a good exchange with you..

"God's Word says..

Li Ergou scratched his head in embarrassment and said modestly,"Senior Yan, you're too polite!"

Tian Rou couldn't help but laugh when she saw the two praising each other..

She coughed lightly and interrupted their conversation..

"Senior Yan, Ergou, I think we should eat first. I'm starving..

”

"Good, good!"

Yan Jingtian smiled and said to the door,"Waiter, hurry up and serve the dishes.".

”

As soon as Yan Jingtian finished speaking, the waiter outside the door immediately took action..

Soon, Jiangbei specialty dishes with good color, flavor and taste will be served for six times..

Li Ergou looked at the delicious food in front of him and couldn't help but swallow..

He grew up in the countryside. Although he was used to eating coarse grains and plain meals, it was his first time seeing such exquisite and delicious dishes..

Yan Jingtian smiled and said,"Brother Ergou, you're welcome. Feel free to eat.".

”

Tian Rou also picked up her chopsticks and picked up a piece of wild mushroom. She placed it into Li Ergou's bowl and said gently,"Ergou, try this. This is the specialty of this place. Fried wild mushroom. You need to make an appointment in advance. You can't eat it outside even if you have money!"

Li Ergou was a little embarrassed by Tian Rou's enthusiasm. He looked down at the wild mushrooms in his bowl and felt a warm feeling in his heart..

He raised his head and gave Tian Rou a grateful smile. Then, he picked up the wild mushroom and put it into his mouth..

The wild mushroom tasted delicious and fragrant, which made Li Ergou exclaim..

As he chewed, he looked at Tian Rou and Yan Jingtian. His heart was filled with happiness and satisfaction..

At this moment, he seemed to forget all his worries and pressures and just wanted to enjoy this wonderful time..

"This is really too delicious. I've never eaten such fresh wild mushrooms before!"

Tian Rou looked at Li Ergou's satisfied expression and smiled."If it's delicious, eat more!"

Then, he looked at Yan Jingtian and said,"Miracle Doctor Yan, eat your chopsticks too. Let's talk after you're full!"

Yan Jingtian nodded with a smile and picked up his chopsticks to taste the delicious food in front of him..

The three of them chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was very harmonious..

Yan Jingtian asked Li Ergou from time to time about the details of acupuncture, Li Ergou said everything he knew..

Tian Rou sometimes gave Li Ergou food, sometimes explained to him some Jiangbei culture and local customs.

Li Ergou looked at Tian Rou and Yan Jingtian, his heart filled with gratitude and respect..

At this moment, Sun Qian pushed open the door and walked in. She smiled and said,"How is it? Are you satisfied with today's food?"

"Satisfied. Sister Qian, your cooking is getting better and better!" Tian Rou said..

"President Tian is really good at talking. How can my small restaurant compare to your Imperial Grand Hotel!" Sun Qian smiled and continued,"It's good that you're satisfied. I'll go out and get busy first. If you need anything, call me anytime!"

Then he turned and walked out..

Li Ergou thought for a moment, then looked at Tian Rou and asked,"CEO Tian, where do you think they got their wild mushrooms? How can they be so delicious?"

"Tian Rou smiled and said," This is someone's trade secret. How would I know? What? You're not trying to steal their business, are you?"
