Chapter 168 - Bolus Trade (2/2)

*********

It is a pleasant and confusing day for the doorman of Qingcheng Resort.

He knows that the residents of the resort are either rich or powerful. However, how can they also be good-looking? This is so unfair!

A dozen of rich and handsome guys have come here today in their luxury cars to visit the No.18 Villa!

Though being jealous, the doorman is happy that many of these handsome guys actually leave him big tips! Anyway, why do these good-looking men all come to visit the No.18 Villa? Does it mean that a famous director lives in the mysterious No.18 Villa? Are these guys stars who partic.i.p.ate in an audition?

These cultivators don’t know that a doorman sees them as actors. Speaking of Lin’s plan of trading boluses for jade, there is a man on the BBS whose ID is “Bad Quality”. His real name is Zeng Tian and he comes from a wealthy family of industrialists. He comes today driving an SUV loaded with jade. Though the quality of the jade may not be the best, he is confident that he will get enough boluses he needs with such a huge amount of jade.

Zeng Tian is usually careless and casual. However, this time, he is going to visit “Uncle Lin”. Thus, except for the jade, he prepares many gifts. He parks his car half a mile away from the No.18 Villa and walks up the mountain carrying two big boxes. When he arrives at the gate of the villa, he can’t figure out how to go inside. Zeng Tian sees that a middle-aged man who is fis.h.i.+ng by the lake points to the villa. Zeng thinks quickly and takes out a cigarette and lights it for the middle-aged man who is wearing plain clothes — you have to admit that Zeng Tian is actually smart. What’s wrong with fis.h.i.+ng? What’s wrong with plain clothes? Do you think a man who fishes by Lin’s villa is ordinary?

After finis.h.i.+ng the cigarette, the middle-aged man asks curiously: “Why don’t you go in? Aren’t you here to trade boluses?”

Hearing this, Zeng Tian is interested. He scratches his head awkwardly and says: “Brother… I don’t dare to go inside.”

Mr. Lin is almost chocked by the cigarette. He is much older than the young man in front of him, and the man just called him “brother”! However, Mr. Lin is actually satisfied because the man’s words show how young he looks. He feels that all the cultivators who have arrived earlier are not as good as this one. He drops his fis.h.i.+ng rod and leads Zeng Tian into the house.

Zeng Tian follows Mr. Lin inside excitedly. He doesn’t even dare to look around the house. After they enter the garden room and a kid brings them a cup of wine, Zeng takes the chance and checks on the room.

“Uncle Lin” does entertain his guests in a strange way. Since he has offered me a cup of wine, I may as well have a taste. Holding the cup made of bamboo, Zeng Tian notices that the middle-aged man is looking at him. Zeng drinks up because he doesn’t want to be seen as a coward… The wine slips down his throat, which makes his expressions change constantly.

It’s not that Zeng gets drunk easily. The feeling of peaceful Reiki flowing inside his body is just so amazing!

Fifteen minutes later, Zeng Tian opens his eyes and takes a deep breath. “Uncle Lin” is really generous for entertaining his guests with spirit wine.

Mr. Lin asks with a smile: “How about it?”

Zeng Tian almost bursts into tears. He answers: “Senior, this cup of wine saves me from days of arduous cultivation. What do you think about it?”

Mr. Lin waves his hand: “I mean the taste of the wine. Doesn’t it taste good?”

Doesn’t it taste good? Zeng Tian is in shock. Does it even matter that the spirit wine tastes good or not…? He poured the wine down his throat and the only thing he now remembers is the feeling of flowing Reiki.

Lin Luoran walks into the garden room smilingly and says: “Dad! Stop making fun of him!” It’s Baojia’s idea to entertain the guests with spirit wine. Baojia is not being generous. The truth is that they have just dug out the wine jars. Baojia wants others to test whether the wine will cause an allergy or not. Therefore, everybody who comes today to trade boluses becomes her “lab rat”.

Judged from the man’s expressions, he is clearly a happy lab rat!

Zeng Tian makes a bow respectively and introduces himself. He presents the jade he brings here to Lin Luoran. Since the quality of the jade is not the best, Lin Luoran offers him six “Gathering Qi boluses” and one “Circulation Bolus”.

Zeng Tian seems to be thrilled. Lin Luoran, who is a potential profiteer, wonders if she has given him too much. These cultivators are so easy to satisfy!

“According to your level of cultivation, you should take one bolus every two months. Don’t take too much.”

Zeng Tian nods vigorously and leaves the villa in a daze. He touches the jade box in his pocket and thinks: “I must work harder on my cultivation. With the help of the boluses, I may have a chance to get rid of the bottleneck though my natural quality is bad! I was so lucky! The man I offered a cigarette to was the father of ‘Uncle Lin’! Ha-ha…”

Lin Luoran, who has received tons of jade, is in the same mood with Zeng Tian.

So many cultivators have come to her house to trade, and the jade she has received piles up like little hills in the bas.e.m.e.nt. Lin Luoran lets her bead absorb all the Reiki it can while thinking about the money she could make if she were really a profiteer.

The trade has temporarily come to an end. Lin Luoran thinks that it may be the time for her to go to the capital.
