Repairer Chapter 138

  Chapter 138 Restricted area

   "Stewed black-bone chicken with old ginseng and angelica, brother, come downstairs and eat..."

  A strong aroma wafted from the kitchen of the villa, and the aroma of the chicken soup was also mixed with the fragrance of medicinal materials.

  When Su Xiaofan lived here by himself, he cooked with open fire. There are so many good restaurants in Yanjing, where you can taste delicious food from all over the world, so why cook it yourself?

  So today's meal can be regarded as the first meal he cooked after taking over this villa.

   "Huh? The taste is good."

  Su Xiaofan came down from the upstairs, and after a day of "sickness" in the room, Su Xiaofan's complexion has become much normal, and he doesn't need anyone's support to move.

   "Of course it's not bad. Sister Zixuan went to several time-honored stores before buying two old ginseng. They say they are seventy or eighty years old."

  Su Xiaoxiao brought a big bowl of chicken soup to his elder brother, with a few thin ginseng whiskers floating on it, the strong medicinal fragrance came to his nostrils, Su Xiaofan felt that the true energy in his body seemed to be a little more active.

   "This old ginseng is really useful for cultivation."

  Su Xiaofan nodded secretly. He heard from his master before that some old medicinal materials can improve his cultivation, but Su Xiaofan can't use them.

  Before I said that I want to be old and make up for it, it was just Su Xiaofan's casual talk. I didn't expect Mo Zixuan to be so sincere and really bought it back.

   "Su Xiaofan, how would you like to taste it?"

  Mo Zixuan looked at Su Xiaofan eagerly. Since she was a child, Mo Zixuan had devoted all her energy to her studies. This was her first time cooking, so she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

   But a smart person can do anything well. Mo Zixuan learned how to do it step by step according to online videos. She also tasted it just now, and the taste seems to be okay.

   "Well, yes, the medicinal aroma of old ginseng and the aroma of chicken are mixed together, it's delicious!"

  Su Xiaofan took a sip of the ginseng soup, and suddenly felt warm all over his body, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, the age of this old ginseng is probably more than seventy or eighty years old.

   "Zixuan, where did you come from, old ginseng?"

  Su Xiaofan looked at Mo Zixuan and said, "I feel that using this old ginseng to assist in your cultivation will definitely greatly increase your cultivation speed."

   It can be of some help to Su Xiaofan's current cultivation base, not to mention Mo Zixuan and others who are in the qi training stage. If they can take it for a long time, Mo Zixuan may be able to advance to the foundation stage within ten years.

   "This is not bought outside."

  Mo Zixuan hesitated for a moment, and said, "I exchanged this from the relevant department. It is quite precious, and there are not many in the department..."

  For practitioners who serve the country, in addition to wages and many public benefits, the relevant departments also have some invisible benefits.

   That is, according to the contributions made by these cultivators, they are given corresponding merit points. Using these merit points, they can be exchanged for some items that are difficult to see from the outside.

  These items have magic tools and exercises, such as the old ginseng that Mo Zixuan exchanged, which is basically invisible outside, because it grows in the restricted area of ​​the space crack.

  In order to exchange for this old ginseng, Mo Zixuan spent all of his achievements in the past few years. It was not enough, and he asked Professor Lei to borrow some.

   "So it is."

  Su Xiaofan's EQ is not enough in front of women, but his IQ is definitely high enough. After drinking his half bowl of soup, he suddenly covered his nose.

   "Brother, your nose is bleeding!"

  Su Xiaoxiao's voice sounded, and she saw the blood oozing from her brother's fingers.

   "Ahem, it's too weak, and the deficiency cannot be replenished."

  Su Xiaofan quickly raised his head, took the tissue from his sister, and wiped off all the blood.

   "This soup is too nourishing. I just couldn't stand it after drinking half a bowl."

  Su Xiaofan shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Xiao Xiao, Zixuan, drink up the remaining soup in the pot, it would be too wasteful if you pour it away."

  Looking at the blood on Su Xiaofan's finger, Mo Zixuan and Su Xiaoxiao didn't suspect anything. After all, even the blood dripped out, so it couldn't be fake.

  In fact, it was Su Xiaofan who was fooling the two of them.

   To be honest, this old ginseng soup has a little effect on him, but it is really negligible. If it is exhausted, the speed of converting true energy can be a little faster.

  Rather than drinking it all by herself, it's better to take advantage of my younger sister. She has just broken through to the Qi training stage, and it is time to consolidate her cultivation, but this ginseng soup has a great effect on her.

  As for Mo Zixuan, it's probably because of her younger sister.

  No matter how straight and straight Su Xiaofan is, he is too embarrassed to say that he only let his sister drink alone. That would be too shameless, after all, the old ginseng was brought back by Mo Zixuan.

   "Zixuan, how do you exchange items from your relevant department?"

  Su Xiaofan is not interested in this old ginseng, it does not mean that he is not interested in other things, the power of the country is much stronger than their hermit sects, so the good things are naturally in the country.

   "According to our contribution, the relevant departments will give corresponding merit points."

  Mo Zixuan didn't have much defense against Su Xiaofan, Su Xiaofan himself is a cultivator, and Su Xiaoxiao's elder brother, so he can be regarded as half of himself.

   "It's like when I came to be a counselor in a special recruitment class, I got merit points, but not many."

  Being a counselor in a special recruiting class, leading a group of rookies, the work is still very heavy, so there will be corresponding merit points.

   Merit points are not easy to get, just like some clerical jobs in related departments, which only pay wages and benefits, but no merit points.

   "Then how can we get a lot of merit points?" Su Xiaofan asked.

   "Advancement and mission!"

  Mo Zixuan said: "If you can improve your cultivation, you will be rewarded with some merit points, but the amount is very small.

   If you want to get a lot of merit points, you can only do missions.

  Relevant departments will issue some tasks related to the restricted area of ​​space cracks. If they can be completed, they can be exchanged for merit points. "

   "It's a pity that my cultivation base is still low, and I haven't been on a mission yet. Otherwise, I can exchange some warmer medicinal materials for you."

  Mo Zixuan showed an embarrassed look on his face. Among the items exchanged by the relevant departments, there was also a Ganoderma lucidum that was said to be seven or eight hundred years old.

  However, the exchange price of that Ganoderma lucidum is twice that of this old ginseng. Even if Mo Zixuan got the promotion merit point reward, it is far from enough to exchange for that Ganoderma lucidum.

   "Can outsiders take your mission?"

  Su Xiaofan asked what was in his mind. He didn't want to join the relevant department, but he was very interested in the rewards from the relevant department.

  Because it is obvious that many items that are helpful for cultivation are monopolized by relevant departments, and they cannot be bought in the market at all.

  Just like the old ginseng exchanged by Mo Zixuan, and the 700-800-year-old Ganoderma lucidum she mentioned, they will never be circulated in the market at all, and it is estimated that they will be intercepted by relevant departments as soon as they appear.

   "I really don't know about this."

  Mo Zixuan said apologetically: "I was assigned to take Xiaoxiao and the others this time, and I haven't accepted the task yet. I don't know the specific situation very well. I will ask you when I go back."

   "Well, if outsiders can also take on the task, you can call me and tell me."

  Su Xiaofan nodded, and asked again: "If the relevant departments don't have what I need, can I exchange merit points for other items?"

"It might work."

  Mo Zixuan hesitated for a moment, then said: "Award points are very precious, even a few merit points can't be bought with 100,000 yuan. If the things you want to exchange will not cause harm to the country, it should be possible."

   "Okay, Zixuan, Xiaoxiao, hurry up and drink the ginseng soup."

  Su Xiaofan got the answer he needed, and there was nothing left to ask.

  Are meteorites harmful to the country?

  Of course not, that thing is in the hands of relevant departments, at best it is used for research on cosmic stars and extraterrestrial matter.

  Meteorites cannot be said to be unprecious, but that's the same thing. There are so many meteorites that fall on the earth every year, and I believe that many countries have picked up quite a few.

  If an outsider can take the task and get merit points, Su Xiaofan believes that the relevant departments should accept his proposal of exchanging meteorites.

  Of course, this also requires Su Xiaofan to show the corresponding ability, so that they can form a relatively equal relationship as much as possible, otherwise the ant will raise conditions to the elephant, may the elephant accept it?

  As for the spirit stone, that is, the energy stone, Su Xiaofan didn't ask at all. He guessed that Mo Zixuan probably didn't even know there was such a thing.

  Spiritual stones have a great effect on cultivators. Those things are in the hands of relevant departments, and they are definitely strategic materials. Outsiders may not even think about exchanging them.

  Watching Mo Zixuan and Su Xiaoxiao drink ginseng soup, Su Xiaofan asked them to stay at home to practice. The environment here is not worse than the school.

   And with Su Xiaofan watching, if something goes wrong when the two of them are practicing, Su Xiaofan can also rescue them in time.

   It was not until the next day that Mo Zixuan and Su Xiaoxiao finished training.

  Su Xiaoxiao's cultivation has been stabilized at the level of Qi training. After generating true qi, Su Xiaoxiao's body will discharge some dirt and impurities after the previous few training sessions, and it will gradually improve in the future.

  As for Mo Zixuan, he has stabilized his cultivation in the late stage of Qi training, but there is still a long way to go before the state of three flowers gathering at the top, which is the official foundation building stage.

  Su Xiaofan came to Yanjing this time, first to receive this villa, to study the cultivation notes of the sages and elders of the school, and second, to give advice to his younger sister, and now it is all completed.

  Compared with Mo Zixuan and Su Xiaoxiao's progress, Su Xiaofan's cultivation seems to be stagnant.

  According to Su Xiaofan's estimate, it will take at least a few years to completely convert all the true energy in the dantian into true energy.

  But guarding the repair system, let Su Xiaofan do the work of grinding rocks, he is naturally unwilling.

  After much deliberation, Su Xiaofan felt that he still had to find rare meteorites to recharge the repair system with repair points.

   Forget about the Ajin Mountains, where the mountains are now covered by heavy snow, and the meteorites are buried under the snow, so he can't detect it.

  So Su Xiaofan plans to go to Death Valley in the near future to see if he can gather the repair value of his Yinshen cultivation technique in that place.

  After Mo Zixuan and Su Xiaoxiao returned to school, Su Xiaofan also drove back to Luochuan with Duobao.

  The money for the eight ancient spring treasures auctioned at Xiangjiang Auction House has already been transferred to the company's account.

   The Zabzaya wooden bowl delivered to the auction house was auctioned the day after Su Xiaofan and Zheng Dagang left.

  Besides the National Museum, this wooden bowl is the only one left among the people, and its collection value is extremely high, so it was auctioned at a high price of 24 million on the second day.

   That is to say, in this auction alone, the items provided by Su Xiaofan sold for 90 million yuan.

  Even if the 4% commission of the auction house and the exchange rate of Hong Kong paper to RMB are removed, the company of Su Xiaofan and Zheng Dagang has earned 70 million.

  So after Su Xiaofan gave all the jades he got from Ao Island to Zheng Dagang, he didn't care about the company anymore.

   This batch of ancient jade is enough to open a special jade auction. It depends on how Brother Gang negotiates with the auction house. If the agreement is reached, it can be auctioned next spring.

  Su Xiaofan also gave Brother Gang a task, which is to ask him to search for rare meteorites all over the world, no matter if they are in auction houses or private hands, try to collect them as much as possible.

  After this auction, Brother Gang has also established a good relationship with the auction house, but he learned from the auction house that some individuals have rare meteorites hidden in their hands.

  Brother Gang's European visa has been processed, and the fresh female graduates specially invited from Yanjing Foreign Languages ​​Institute are also in place, and they are planning to go abroad in a few days.

  Su Xiaofan returned to Luochuan, specially brought Brother Gang to his master, and showed Brother Gang a piece of spirit stone.

  Su Xiaofan told Brother Gang that if you encounter similar stones abroad, you must find a way to take them down, and if you encounter things you are not sure about, try to buy them back.

  With Su Xiaofan's entrustment, Brother Gang got on the plane to Europe full of ambition,

  Of course, there is also a tender female translator who can pinch water. At this moment, Brother Gang feels that he has reached the pinnacle of his life.

   "Master, I plan to go to Death Valley recently."

  After sending Brother Gang away, Su Xiaofan decided to talk to Master.

   After all, Death Valley has existed for a long time, there are hundreds of years of recorded time, far from being comparable to places like Shuangmen Village, Su Xiaofan still intends to find out first.

   "What are you doing in the restricted area now?"

  Jing Shizhen looked at Su Xiaofan with some puzzlement, "You don't need inner alchemy to practice, and we may not be able to deal with the extraordinary creatures in Death Valley."

   "Master knows Death Valley very well?"

  Su Xiaofan was taken aback when he heard the words. Before, he really rarely talked about the restricted area with his master, ahem... The main reason is that Su Xiaofan's cultivation is progressing too fast, and Jing Shizhen doesn't want to talk to him.

   "Of course I understand. There are few restricted areas at home and abroad that I don't know."

  Jing Shizhen had a proud expression on his face, he really thought that his title of being the number one casual cultivator outside the official system was for nothing.

  Yes, it is loose cultivators. Except for official cultivators, all other cultivators of any sect are included in the ranks of hermit casual cultivators.

In the modern society with advanced technology, those great sects in ancient times have long since declined, only two or three kittens are left, and even the Taoism of the Heavenly Master is torn apart, and there is no capital to negotiate terms with the authorities. Naturally, what the authorities say is wrong .

  However, casual practice also has the benefits of casual practice, and there are many less shackles on the body.

  Just like Jing Shizhen, in order to obtain the inner alchemy of supernatural beings, he has traveled almost all the restricted areas of space cracks on the entire planet in the past few decades.

   When it comes to familiarity with each restricted area, Jing Shizhen said that no one dares to say that the first is the second, and it is this kind of spirit that allows him to pick up a leak in Shuangmen Village.

  Actually, what happened in Shuangmen Village was later known to relevant departments.

   But first of all, the officials themselves were negligent and failed to find out that there were extraordinary creatures there. Naturally, Jing Shizhen cannot be blamed for this.

Secondly, Jing Shizhen also did something beneficial to the country back then. In the border disputes in the 1970s and 1980s, Jing Shizhen led people to resist the head-down masters in Southeast Asia and Western cultivators, which can be regarded as a great contribution .

  So the officials turned a blind eye this time, and did not pursue the matter of the extraordinary creature Neidan, otherwise it would not be so easy for Jing Shizhen to bring Neidan to Xiangjiang.

   "Master, come and listen to me..."

  Su Xiaofan poured a cup of tea for the master, pretending to be listening, he knew that the master was the best.

   "Don't inquire about that first, tell Master why you are going to the restricted area?" Jing Shizhen waved his hand, not being fooled by Su Xiaofan.

   "Master, I think my realm is enough, but my strength and realm don't match very well!"

  Su Xiaofan said the reason he had thought up, "I have always practiced step by step, and I have never fought with others. I have too little actual combat experience, and now I also feel as if I have encountered a bottleneck and have been unable to break through?"

   "It's only been a few days since you broke through the Three Flowers Realm? Are you thinking about breaking through again?"

  Jing Shizhen thinks Su Xiaofan is not pleasing to the eye at this time, he has just consolidated the first level of the Three Flowers Gathering Realm, Su Xiaofan actually wants to break through to the third level.

   "Ahem, master, I feel that the progress of cultivation has stagnated."

  Su Xiaofan coughed twice, and said: "Also, I have little actual combat experience. If I fight with others in the future, I might embarrass you, so I want to go to the restricted area to hone..."

   "By the way, Master, if you're lucky, you might be able to help Aunt Mei get an inner alchemy for a supernatural being."

  Su Xiaofan knows what Master wants most now, now that Aunt Mei has spiritual stones to practice, sooner or later she will use her inner alchemy.

   "With your current cultivation, it's still a bit difficult to fight against extraordinary creatures head-on."

  Jing Shizhen thought for a while, shook his head, and said, "We, master and apprentice, may have a little chance if we go together. Well, you have to count your tiger cat."

   "Master is going too? That's even better."

  Su Xiaofan was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, but it didn't matter, he absorbed the meteorite himself and there was no movement, just be careful not to let the master find out.

   "Master, tell me about the restricted areas first, both at home and abroad."

   "In China, there is a restricted area in the Ajin Mountains."

   "Is it Death Valley?" Su Xiaofan interrupted Master.

   "No, the restricted area in Death Valley is part of the Kunlun Mountains."

  Jing Shizhen shook his head, and said: "The restricted area in the Ajin Mountains is located on a high mountain, and it is called the restricted area in the sky!

  The climate near the restricted area of ​​the sky is too harsh, around minus 30 degrees all the year round, so no one goes there if it is not blocked. I have only been to that place once. "

   When Jing Shizhen said this, she was putting gold on her face.

  The low temperature of minus 30 degrees can pose a threat even to cultivators. Jing Shizhen, with her cultivation base of the Great Zhou, could only barely get outside the restricted area of ​​the sky, and did not dare to enter at all.

"anything else?"

  Su Xiaofan continued to ask, Su Xiaofan was not interested in the forbidden area at a very high altitude, where it was covered with snow all the year round, even if meteorites fell, he couldn't find it.

   "Do you know the Wulong River in Jiupan Mountain?"

  Jing Shizhen looked at Su Xiaofan and said, "Actually, going to Death Valley is worse than going to Wulong River. Death Valley is far more dangerous than Wulong River."

   "I haven't heard of Wulong River, please tell me, master." Su Xiaofan shook his head, he didn't major in geography, how could he know so many place names.

   "The Wulonghe restricted area is considered to be a place, and that place is located in Jiupan Mountain, known as the Gate of Ghosts..."

  The Jiupan Mountain that Jing Shizhen mentioned is a well-known scenic spot in Northwest China. It covers a very large area, with numerous mountains and vast sea of ​​clouds.

  However, Wulong River is located in the local area, but there is a catchphrase of "Ghost Gate, Shantaoshan, easy to get in, hard to get out", because many dangerous incidents have happened here, people who go in will most likely not get out.

   "Master, forget about those legends, you should talk about something dry."

  Su Xiaofan interrupted Master's words, Shuangmen Village is still called a ghost village, and it's not because of the space crack.

  The same is true of Wulong River. Those so-called legends are just to scare tourists and prevent them from going in.

  Jing Shizhen glared at Su Xiaofan, and said angrily: "As long as you talk a lot of nonsense, what I said is dry stuff!"

   "Xiaofan, according to your master, that place is not all caused by space cracks."

   Aunt Mei next to her also said, "I went to that place back then, but Brother Jing didn't let me in."

   "Do you hear me, listen to me carefully, don't interrupt me."

  In terms of cultivation level, he can't compare to his disciple, but in terms of knowledge, Jing Shizhen still has to beat Su Xiaofan.
