Chapter 459 Jade
"Isn't it disgusting for a grown man like you to act cute? Just tell me what you want to be!"
Cheng Feng said impatiently.
The smile on Zhao Li's face gradually faded, and then he uttered two words in a low voice:
"soul."
Cheng Feng nodded, then crossed his arms and placed them on the rocking chair in front of him, saying:
"Thank you for your patronage. This divination grants you three opportunities to be at my beck and call. Do you agree?"
Zhao Li frowned. Having been ordered around three times, the price demanded was somewhat beyond his expectations.
After a long silence, Cheng Feng wasn't in a hurry. He picked up his beer, drank it, and waited for Zhao Li's response.
After Cheng Feng finished a bottle of beer, Zhao Li took a deep breath and said:
"Okay, I agree to this price. Please perform the divination."
Cheng Feng looked at Zhao Li in surprise, not expecting him to agree to such harsh conditions.
However, since he had already said it, Cheng Feng wouldn't go back on his word.
Cheng Feng immediately communicated with his true form, and mysterious energy surged into his third eye, looking at Zhao Li in front of him.
At that moment, Zhao Li's hair stood on end; he felt as if he were being stared at by an unimaginably terrifying being.
The clothes he was wearing did not give him any sense of security.
Fortunately, the feeling came and went quickly.
After taking a few deep breaths, Zhao Li calmed his horrified emotions and said:
"How about it?"
"Hold on."
After Cheng Feng finished speaking, he sat up straight, picked up the paper and pen on the table, and began to write.
Soon, Cheng Feng folded the yellow paper in his hand and handed it to Zhao Li:
"Burn it immediately after reading it. If others see it, something bad will happen."
Zhao Li nodded, took the yellow paper, and immediately opened it and began to read it.
There are three sentences written in plain language above.
The first rule tells him that the elixirs his partner refines are reliable and can give birth to new souls, but a lot of elixirs will be needed.
Secondly, his original soul had been thrown into the cycle of reincarnation by Hades and has now been reborn as a human.
The third method is a sacrificial ritual called the Taishan Fujun Sacrifice, which allows one to give the Taishan God a new soul by offering a sacrifice to him.
After reading the note, Zhao Li flashed a flame in his hand and burned the yellow paper to ashes.
I will not go back on my promise to you.
Cheng Feng nodded and said, "That's good. Now I have something I need you to do."
Zhao Li's expression turned serious, and he quickly said, "Please speak."
“I’ll be setting up my stall here every night from now on. Tomorrow, have someone fix this place up properly and build me a shed to shelter me from the wind and rain.”
Don't make it too shabby; it should match the style of my signboard.
As he spoke, Cheng Feng pointed to the sign of his metaphysical convenience store.
Zhao Li was somewhat surprised. He had prepared himself for any hardship, but he hadn't expected Cheng Feng's first condition to be so simple.
He quickly replied, "Don't worry, I guarantee everything will be arranged properly. I'll also have someone take care of this position for you from now on."
"Okay, if there's nothing else, you can go ahead and do your business. Don't bother me."
After saying that, Cheng Feng picked up his phone and started fiddling with it.
Zhao Li's lips twitched, thinking to himself, "What kind of business can there be in the middle of the night?"
But since Cheng Feng is now his creditor, he can only obediently leave with a forced smile.
When Zhao Li returned to the shop, the three female customers all asked him questions.
They noticed that Zhao Li and Cheng Feng had been chatting for a long time, so they were all curious about what the two had talked about.
But Zhao Li wasn't about to tell the truth. In just a few words, he steered the conversation off-topic, starting to talk about which nightclubs had the best atmosphere.
It was past 1 a.m. when the three women were picked up by a luxury car. It seemed that there was a fight between at least four people that night.
After seeing off these three major clients, Zhao Li started scratching his head and writing something again.
Although Cheng Feng didn't urge him, he didn't want to wait until Cheng Feng lost his temper. What if he was forced to fight Hades under a condition?
It wasn't until dawn that Zhao Li lay slumped on the table, looking dazed.
Cheng Feng finally woke up from his nap on the recliner, stretched, got back into his car, and sped away.
Back in his large suitcase, Cheng Feng first took a shower, then put on an eye mask and began to rest.
Cheng Feng slept until noon, then got up and washed up feeling refreshed.
His body was created based on the highest level of human physique, making him a mini-hexagonal warrior.
They are among the fastest to recover.
After tidying up, Cheng Feng sipped his tea and checked his Weibo and Tieba accounts as usual.
At this point, some people started commenting, but it was all nonsense and just trying to gain experience points.
Seeing this, Cheng Feng put away his phone, got up, and went out to find a place to eat.
Driving his Land Rover, Cheng Feng drove out of the villa area and soon arrived at a Western restaurant right next to it.
This Western restaurant, named Lorraine Pastry, is a three-star tire shop.
Cheng Feng, dressed casually, swaggered in.
The shop, located in a villa area, had very good service and didn't cause any drama because of Cheng Feng's attire.
At the enthusiastic invitation of a pretty young woman, Cheng Feng sat down at a table.
Just after I finished ordering, a young woman pushed open the door and walked in.
Cheng Feng felt something and looked up at the woman who walked in.
This is a girl who looks to be no more than twenty years old, wearing a vibrant light-colored dress.
Although she appeared calm on the surface, her unconsciously clenched fingers betrayed her inner turmoil.
They probably don't frequent stores like this.
Most importantly, Cheng Feng sensed a special power emanating from her.
This power level is very high, essentially no weaker than Hades' Acha.
However, this younger sister is rather weak; she's like a small horse trying to pull a big cart, unable to unleash the full power of that force.
Cheng Feng thoughtfully shifted his gaze, thinking to himself:
"Such a unique power... let me think... it must be a 'medicine' that's a specialty of this world!"
The so-called medicine is likely a plant of very high status that parasitizes humans.
It uses the negative emotions generated by people as nourishment to support its growth.
Once ripe, if left unharvested, it will bear flowers and fruit, thus producing even more medicinal plants.
The next step is to find more carriers to satisfy human desires and encourage humans to generate more desires to fuel its growth.
The woman who entered the store was a very special case.
The power of the medicine flowed through her veins, like a docile kitten or puppy, completely at her beck and call.
Such people have existed in this world since ancient times, and humans, gods, and ghosts all have a common name for them—the Medicine Master.
"If I remember correctly, this pharmacist should be that fujoshi, what was her name again?"
Due to the limitations of the human body, Cheng Feng sometimes suffers from mental lapses.
I racked my brains for a long time.
"What was it again? The Fiji Cup?"
He quickly shook his head, banishing the impolite thought from his mind, and silently apologized to the girl.
Cheng Feng was interrupted by the waiter who was serving the food, but fortunately he stopped worrying about it and started eating in peace.
On the other side, Jade recently completed an exorcism service, made a small profit, and wanted to reward herself.
I specially wore my little dress and did my makeup before coming to this Tire Three-Star Western Restaurant, so I could have a meal and take some photos at the same time.
By cultivating an image of a high-end exorcist, one can more easily command exorbitant prices when taking on jobs in the future.
