Chapter 238 Six Years in the Blink of an Eye
Raocheng!
In the backyard of the villa, Lin Ye stood in front of the rockery in the backyard.
In three days, he rearranged the backyard of the villa and built a rockery.
This little tiger was difficult to take care of and didn't like staying in the room. He consulted the zoo staff, who said that tigers liked to live in caves, so they built a rockery and left a cave in the middle of it. Unexpectedly, the little tiger really stopped making noise.
But just not making noise is not enough. According to Shi Pan, the little tiger needs to absorb enough spiritual energy from heaven and earth to grow, and it is obvious that there is not enough spiritual energy from heaven and earth in the villa.
When it comes to places with sufficient spiritual energy, the first place Lin Ye thinks of is the place where he lived when he went to Wushang City. There is a formation that gathers spiritual energy there, ensuring that there is an abundance of spiritual energy.
Lin Ye took a spirit gathering formation from Shi Pan, but setting up this formation required some special materials.
Lin Ye looked at the list of materials. Most of them could be obtained, except for one material which was more difficult to obtain.
Tianhuang stone!
Although Tianhuang Stone is not cheap, it is not unavailable. In Lin Ye's opinion, the reason why it is difficult to find is because what he needs is not ordinary Tianhuang Stone.
The amount of spiritual energy that a spirit gathering array can gather depends on two factors.
The density of the spiritual energy around the formation and the grade of the formation materials.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth in modern society is relatively thin. If you don't use the best materials, there is no difference between setting up a spirit gathering array and not setting up one.
If you want to decorate, then the best one.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Ye finally made a phone call.
…
…
An hour later, a red Porsche Panamera stopped at the entrance of Lin Ye's villa. He Jie got out of the car. After getting off, He Jie took out two boxes from the trunk and carried them into the villa.
"Mr. Lin, these two boxes of Tianhuang stones, one box is mine, and the other box is from a friend. They are all raw stones. Mr. Lin, please see if there is anything suitable."
He Jie entered the villa, put the box in the hall and opened it directly. An hour ago, she received a call from Lin Ye, who asked her on the phone if she knew a buyer who sold Tianhuang stone, and wanted to buy some good quality Tianhuang stone.
As a girl, He Jie still likes shiny jewelry. She collects relatively few of the more restrained jades such as Tianhuang stone. This box of Tianhuang stone was collected by her father when he was alive.
As for the other box, she thought of a business friend she knew who liked to collect jade. After communicating with him over the phone, he gave her this box of raw stones.
"Sorry to bother you, Mr. He."
Lin Ye expressed his gratitude, and then picked up the Tianhuang stones to observe them.
"Although these Tianhuang stones look good, they lack spiritual energy. If used as the center of the formation, they can only achieve one-tenth of the spiritual gathering effect of the spiritual gathering formation."
The sound of the stone plate appeared in Lin Ye's mind. Lin Ye was stunned for a moment. These Tianhuang stones were not enough. Although he didn't know how much these Tianhuang stones were worth , judging from the appearance of these Tianhuang stones, they were not cheap, and He Jie would never give them to him at a low price.
"Mr. He, I'm curious, what is the value of these Tianhuang stones?"
"This box of mine was left by my father. I don't know how much he spent on it. But I asked about this box of Tian Huang Stone from my friend, and my friend told me that this box of Tian Huang Stone is worth more than 10 million yuan." He Jie was afraid that Lin Ye didn't know much about Tian Huang Stone, so she repeated what she learned from her friend about Tian Huang Stone.
"Tian Huangshi is different from other jades, including jadeite. Most jades, such as jadeite and Tianyu, are used to carve objects with auspicious meanings. Tian Huangshi is also like this, but the best Tian Huangshi is generally used to carve seals."
"Therefore, jadeite and other jades are valuable after being carved, but Tianhuang stone is different. Once it is carved into a seal, it has the owner's name on it, so it is not suitable for resale. This has also led to the continuous rise in the price of the raw stones of the best Tianhuang stone in the world."
“Scarcity makes things valuable.”
Lin Ye understood why the raw Tianhuang stone was so expensive. If you used top-quality jadeite to carve a Bodhisattva or something, you could sell it even if you didn't wear it anymore. But if you carved a "Zhang San's Seal" from Tianhuang stone, you couldn't sell it to Li Si or Wang Wu.
“Is there any better Tianhuang stone?”
Although the price of tens of millions seemed very expensive to Lin Ye, since Shi Pan had said so, he could only ask again.
"Better?"
He Jie frowned and said, "Let me ask my friend. I don't know much about Tian Huang stone. He specializes in jade and may know where some better Tian Huang stones are."
Jade, as long as it is of the best quality, is not generally seen in the world. What this world lacks the least is rich people. Some top-quality jade will be bought the moment it is mined.
A few minutes later, He Jie hung up the phone and said to Lin Ye, "Mr. Lin, my friend knows someone who has a piece of Tianhuang Stone Emperor mined last year . I'll ask my friend to communicate with that person to see if the other party is willing to give it up."
"If it's troublesome, forget it."
Lin Ye did not hold out much hope. Generally, people who collect jade, and especially those who collect the best of the best, are not short of money. Such people would be so happy that money could not buy their happiness, and they would hardly sell the jade they bought.
"Try it. I can't guarantee it."
He Jie had the same idea as Lin Ye, but there was no harm in giving it a try.
The matter of the Tian Huangshi came to an end, and both He Jie and Lin Ye suddenly fell silent, because neither of them was the kind of person who was good at polite words.
"I'm so sorry, Mr. He has been here for so long, but I haven't poured him a cup of tea yet. What kind of tea does Mr. He like to drink?"
After he was speechless, Lin Ye suddenly remembered that when He Jie came in, he didn't even pour her a cup of tea.
"Don't bother me. I have something else to do at the company so I'll leave first."
He Jie stood up and poured tea after the discussion. If she didn't think she knew Mr. Lin a little bit, she would have suspected that he was using the tea pouring as an excuse to send her off.
Lin Ye also thought of this, and his expression was a little awkward, "Mr. He, I don't mean to serve tea and see you off."
"Don't worry, Mr. Lin. I have some ability to read people's faces. I know that Mr. Lin doesn't mean that. But there is something wrong. Save this cup of tea for next time."
He Jie gave a rare playful smile, with a hint of charm, and then without waiting for Lin Ye to reply, she turned around gracefully in her high heels and left.
"Let's leave these two boxes of Tianhuang stone here, Mr. Lin. I'll pick them up next time I come for tea."
"Okay, I'll prepare tea for Mr. He next time."
Lin Ye scratched his head and watched He Jie go out the door and get in the car. Then he returned to the hall and closed the two boxes on the table.
"Mr. Chang, I won't be home for lunch. Just cook a meal for Tongtong."
In the kitchen, the figure of the Intestine Ghost appeared, wearing an apron and holding a spatula in his hand: "Master, aren't you going to eat at home at noon?"
The Intestine Ghost has now become Lin Ye’s family’s nanny, responsible for washing clothes and cooking.
Because of the ghost baby, Lin Ye dismissed the aunt who was originally responsible for cooking and cleaning, and this task fell on the intestine ghost.
"Well, how's it going little one?"
"That little ancestor is very well behaved and obedient."
Just as the Intestine Ghost finished speaking, the ghost baby in the kitchen poked its head out. Its face was pale and its hands were covered with flour. However, when its eyes saw Lin Ye, it quickly hid its hands behind its back, just like a child who had done something wrong and was afraid of being discovered by his parents.
Seeing the ghost baby's actions, Lin Ye smiled. He thought it was right to let Lao Chang take care of the ghost baby. This guy was indeed very suitable for doing housework and taking care of children. Even Tongtong was very close to Lao Chang.
Lao Chang can materialize, so Tong Tong doesn't know that Lao Chang is a ghost and keeps calling him Uncle Chang.
"Old Chang, if you hadn't gone out to work and started a housekeeping company, you might be the CEO now. If you work for a few more years, it wouldn't be a problem to go public."
Hearing Lin Ye's praise, the Intestine Ghost forced a smile. Ghosts are willing to be nannies, do laundry, cook and take care of children. If he had a choice, he would rather be a stray ghost.
But there is no way, Tongtong is the apprentice of this evil star, he can only worship him like an ancestor. As for the person hiding behind him, he is a little ancestor himself.
The intestinal ghost is a ghost, so he can feel the ghost energy of the ghost baby. This ghost energy suppresses him so much that he sometimes thinks that if he doesn't serve this little ancestor well, this little ancestor will eat him alive if he is unhappy.
He did all this to survive.
And there was the little tiger. Although he didn't know where this little tiger came from, tigers themselves were unlucky for their ghosts. Although this little tiger had been sleeping, he felt scared just by looking at it and didn't dare to get close to it at all.
He is a ghost with a physical body, yet he is the weakest in this villa.
Life is hard, so cherish every moment you have.
"How's the undercover situation going lately?"
Lin Ye did not forget that Lao Chang was still an undercover ghost.
"Sir, recently all the ghosts in our Rao City have fled to other provinces."
"Running to the provinces, why?"
"It is said that there is a very powerful alien in Yuzhang. All the ghosts in Yuzhang have fled. The ghosts in Raocheng were afraid of being implicated, so they followed suit."
Lin Ye smiled at the Intestine Ghost's answer. A powerful alien appeared in Yuzhang. Could it be that he was referring to himself?
It seems that the moon-viewing event I held in Yuzhang City was very successful.
"Your undercover work is not up to par."
Although he knew that it was not Lao Chang's fault, Lin Ye still decided to give Lao Chang a warning.
When the Intestine Ghost heard Lin Ye's light words, his legs went limp with fear, and he quickly explained, "Sir, those ghosts really have all run away."
Lin Ye stared at the Intestine Ghost for a while, and only withdrew his gaze after confirming that the Intestine Ghost was not lying. But in just a few seconds, the Intestine Ghost's legs could not help but tremble. This evil star was really getting more and more terrifying.
“Keep your house clean.”
After instructing the Intestine Ghost, Lin Ye walked out of the house. However, when he reached the door, he stopped and asked, "Do you know everything about me?"
These words were spoken to Shipan.
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who likes to peek. If there's something you don't want me to know, it's very simple. Just stick a breath-suppressing talisman on your chest. You have this talisman on you."
Lin Ye does have a Breath-Condensing Talisman. It is not a high-level talisman. Its function is to restrain the user's own breath, but the effect can only last for one hour.
Lin Ye took out a breath-suppressing talisman from his pocket and placed it on his chest.
The stone plate tattoo on his chest disappeared, but even so, Lin Ye was still worried and shouted, "Old man, can't you hear me?"
The stone plate did not respond.
Lin Ye was sure that Shi Pan was really isolated by him. Although he had not communicated with Shi Pan for a long time, he had already figured out Shi Pan's temper. He was not the kind of person who could tolerate insults from others.
To put it bluntly, I'm not someone who will suffer bullying.
After feeling relieved, Lin Ye left the community, got on the online taxi that had been waiting at the door, and headed to Xinjiang Bay Court.
Chen Xi sent him a message yesterday, saying that she had just finished a dance competition and returned to Raocheng today.
Originally, Lin Ye had no plans to meet Chen Xi today, but he didn't expect this goblin to send him a few photos, complaining that he had gained weight after participating in the competition this time.
Lin Ye couldn't tell whether he was fat or not, but those clothes...
Lin Ye understood instantly, this complaint about being fat was fake, and the real purpose was to seduce himself...
This goblin...
Xinjiang Bay Courtyard.
Lin Ye had just walked up to the door and hadn't knocked when it opened.
"Your Majesty, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you very much, but I dare not disturb you when I think of your hard work day and night and your busy schedule."
Looking at Chen Xi's dress, Lin Ye almost didn't listen to what she said. This woman is too smart.
Her long black hair was casually scattered on both sides of her shoulders, her face was flushed, and it was obvious that she had just taken a bath. She was wearing a light green gauze on her upper body and a snow-white rippled skirt on her lower body. She bowed like an ancient palace concubine. The gauze slipped from her shoulders, revealing a ribbon wrapped around the back of her neck, with a mandarin duck pattern embroidered on the front of the ribbon.
"Since my beloved misses me so much, I must let her know what I'm working hard for day and night."
Lin Ye stretched out his hand and grasped Chen Xi's slender waist. Chen Xi cried out as if she was frightened, but her body leaned on Lin Ye as if she had no bones.
"Your Majesty has frightened people."
Lin Ye lowered his head and saw the beauty's eyelashes trembling slightly, like a frightened deer.
He decided to let this goblin know what it means to be truly scared.
On this day, Lin Ye did not step out of the gate of Xinjiang Wanting.
There is a poem to testify to this: The maidservant helped her up weakly, and it was the beginning of her receiving the emperor’s grace.
…
…
Another world!
The sixth year of the Great Shang Dynasty!
It's another bumper year.
Since An Zishen served as the Prime Minister of the Shang Dynasty for seven years , perhaps God had mercy on the people, and there were good weather for seven consecutive years. The Shang Dynasty was prosperous, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, which was a sign of a prosperous era.
For Lin Ye, these six years were nothing more than a blink of an eye.
Shangyang City is very peaceful. Daogu is now a qualified temple master. However, unlike the old Taoist, although Daogu acts steadily, he is not as timid as the old Taoist. Whenever there are pilgrims seeking help from ghosts or monsters, he will help them. The incense at Qingfeng Temple is more prosperous than when the old Taoist was here.
Over at Miaoying Temple, Lin Ye had held the abbot coronation ceremony for Xuanhui three years ago. However, Xuanhui obviously did not have the business acumen of Abbot Yin Guang and Abbot Daoyuan, and the popularity of Miaoying Temple was mediocre.
In the past six years, in addition to taking care of Daogu and Miaoying Temple, Lin Ye's greatest gain was that he and Zhang Wuji became close friends regardless of age difference.
"Brother Lin, how about joining our God-level sect?"
On this day, Zhang Wuji came to the Lin Mansion to persuade Lin Ye as usual.
