After what happened last night, Zhou Chen knew that the people from the Yanhuang official cultivation organization would not suspect him in the short term, so he could speed up the process of absorbing soul energy.
Zhou Chen plans to go to a mental hospital to help the mentally ill find relief.
Of course, this is only limited to vegetative patients who are completely paralyzed.
After all, living like a piece of wood, unable to control your feces and urine, is really worse than death.
Zhou Chen asked the Soul-Eating Queen if there was any way to allow a living being to have its soul devoured by the Soul-Eating Queen without pain.
The answer was that the Soul Devouring Queen Beetle launched a natural attack - Soul Thorn, which could directly defeat the will of the target soul and cause it to die instantly, so that the soul could be devoured without pain.
It is not the soul that reincarnates, but the will, or thinking, that truly controls the soul.
The soul is simply the fusion of soul energy, memory, and will.
Zhou Chen didn’t know whether there was an underworld, but even if there was, when a person’s soul was reincarnated in the underworld, only the will would be reincarnated, and everything else would be left in the underworld.
Soul Thorn is the innate attack ability of the Soul Devourer Queen, and can also be used by the Soul Devourer Spawn after reaching level 2.
But before Zhou Chen had the chance to see the soul thorn of the Soul-Eating Worm Queen, he received a QQ friend request from Cai Yameng.
Zhou Chen was a little confused, but still agreed.
During this period, because of mutual guidance and study, the relationship between the two people cannot be said to be very good, but at least it is not like before, where they did not even communicate a word.
Zhou Chen: Is there anything wrong?
Cai Yameng: Today is my birthday. I will hold a birthday dinner at my house at 6 p.m. and I would like to invite you to attend.
Zhou Chen: I have something to do, just call other students.
Cai Yameng: There are other students as well, and Teacher Gu will also come.
Zhou Chen: It’s fine as long as they come. One more or one less won’t make any difference.
This was the umpteenth time Cai Yameng had been rejected by Zhou Chen.
Cai Yameng: Okay...
Zhou Chen: Happy birthday to you.
Cai Yameng: Thank you!
The reason why Zhou Chen rejected Cai Yameng many times was because he really felt that he had nothing in common with her.
In addition, the conflict between the parents of both sides led Zhou Chen to deliberately distance himself from Cai Yameng.
On the other hand, Zhou Xiang also received an invitation from Cai Yameng's father, who mainly wanted to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Zhou Xiang and express his apology.
Like Zhou Chen, Zhou Xiang is also very stubborn and refused decisively.
Unexpectedly, Cai Yameng's grandfather took Cai Yameng's father's mobile phone.
Zhou Xiang still respected the old man very much, but he really didn't want to attend Cai Yameng's birthday party.
So he asked his son Zhou Chen to attend on his behalf.
Zhou Chen, who had just rejected Cai Yameng, received a call from his father.
Zhou Chen felt like crying but had no tears.
He wanted to refuse his father, but Zhou Xiang was firm in his attitude and he had to go.
Zhou Chen: Is it tonight at 6 PM? Send me the location.
Cai Yameng: Don’t you have something to do?
Zhou Chen: It’s okay.
Cai Yameng: Oh.
After getting the detailed address, Zhou Chen received 20,000 yuan transferred from Zhou Xiang's bank card.
Ask Zhou Chen to go to the jewelry store and buy a piece of jewelry as a birthday gift for Cai Yameng.
Twenty thousand yuan is a considerable expense for Zhou Chen's family of five.
But there was no way. When my eldest sister Zhou Yuting went to college, it was the old man of the Cai family who helped her and she went to a prestigious university.
There were a lot of things to do in the hospital today and no one could leave, so the task of buying jewelry fell on Zhou Chen.
Moreover, young people understand the aesthetic tastes of young people better. As long as they don’t get ripped off, buying a good jade bracelet is not a problem.
With Zhou Chen's intelligence, there is no need to worry about him being cheated.
After all, how could a student who got full marks in all subjects be stupid?
Zhou Chen had no choice but to give up going to the mental hospital temporarily.
I originally planned to go directly to the jewelry store in the city to buy a bracelet, but suddenly I had an idea.
In many urban novels, there are always bargains for the protagonist to pick up in places like antique streets and jade streets.
As an evil cultivator who plays with insects, I may not be the protagonist.
But with the current strength of his soul at the eighth level of Qi Refining, there might be some unexpected surprises.
After all, there are indeed ancient monks and modern practitioners on Earth, and perhaps there are treasures that have been preserved from ancient times to the present day!
So I checked on the map and took a taxi to an antique street more than 20 kilometers away.
I had been planning to go to Jade Street, but after checking around, I couldn’t find it, so I decided to go to the next city.
When he arrived at the antique street, Zhou Chen just wanted to curse.
It turns out that those pretentious novels are all lies!
There are only about ten stalls on this antique street, and the items they sell are very diverse, many of which are modern artworks, even with labels.
There are only a few antique shops on the street, and most of the others are snack bars, milk tea shops and the like.
There is absolutely no scene like those in movies, TV shows or novels where antiques are everywhere.
How can I get a bargain like this?
But since I'm here, I might as well take a look first.
Zhou Chen didn't dare to take these so-called "antiques" carelessly. What if one of them broke by "coincidence" and someone asked for 1 million yuan for it?
So he casually pointed at a jade bottle and asked, "How much is this?"
The stall owner opened his mouth and said: "This is blue and white porcelain from the Qianlong period. Last year, there was a similar item at the Xiamen auction and it sold for over 15 million yuan."
Zhou Chen was speechless: "Why don't you tear off the label first and then pull it off? Didn't you mark the price as 50 yuan?"
The stall owner scratched his head, not embarrassed at all: "Sorry for the mistake, this is blue and white porcelain from the Qianlong period. This jade vase is a modern handicraft, but the texture is still quite good. Young man, if you really want it, I'll sell it to you for two yuan off."
