Chapter 272 I left my son without a penny!
Chen Ye nodded somewhat awkwardly, then looked at Sheng Yunqi hesitantly, stammering for a long time without being able to say what he wanted to ask for, perfectly portraying the image of a simple and honest, pitiful boy.
Sheng Yunqi is a kind-hearted young man. Even though he has encountered dangerous plots before, he still has not lost his kindness. Of course, it is also possible that Chen Ye, a young cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage who is not even in the Foundation Establishment Stage, is not something to be feared by him.
So Sheng Yunqi took the initiative to ask: "Tell me slowly, there is no need to rush."
Seeing Sheng Yunqi's attitude soften, Chen Ye mustered up the courage to speak: "Senior, I want to ask you if you know where I can find the Ningmai Zhi?"
Sheng Yunqi was startled. He didn't expect Chen Ye to ask him this question: "Ningmai Zhi? This thing is a natural treasure that can only be used by Yuanying stage cultivators. Why are you asking this? Ordinary cultivators can't use this level of natural treasure."
Chen Ye quickly explained: "No, I'm asking on behalf of an elder of mine."
Sheng Yunqi was still suspicious, but he didn't ask any more questions. He replied, "Ningmaizhi is a seventh-grade spiritual medicine. It only grows on third-grade spiritual veins. Third-grade spiritual veins are usually the territory of Yuanying forces. It is definitely not something that a mere Qi Refining Stage person like you can get close to."
He didn't care whether Chen Ye was asking for himself or for the elders behind him. This was actually just common sense about spiritual medicine, and there was nothing wrong with telling Chen Ye.
If Chen Ye asked him for medicine, he would definitely ignore it. After all, he didn't have such a precious elixir as Ningmaizhi. Even if he had it, he would not give it to Chen Ye, an outsider.
Chen Ye did not seem to have any intention of asking Sheng Yunqi for medicine, and said gratefully: "Thank you very much, senior! May I know your name?"
Sheng Yunqi was cautious and did not tell his name. He just said, "My name is Sheng Qi."
One was called Chen Ye, and said his name was Chen Hua; the other was called Sheng Yunqi, and said his name was Sheng Qi.
It can be said that we are in sync with each other.
Chen Ye took the initiative to offer to treat Sheng Yunqi to a meal to thank him.
Sheng Yunqi hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
Although he only told Chen Ye a common sense, information is also a resource, and this common sense is impossible to know without reaching a certain level. He did help Chen Ye, so agreeing to have dinner was also an opportunity for Chen Ye to settle the matter.
In fact, the main reason was that Sheng Yunqi had some feelings for Chen Ye for some reason.
Whether it was when Chen Ye witnessed the murder scene at the beginning and he let the other person go, or when Chen Ye called him for help just now, or now when he invited him to dinner, Sheng Yunqi made such choices based on his good impression of Chen Ye.
Otherwise, do you really think that anyone can ask the young master of the Sheng family to agree to have a meal with him?
Moreover, Sheng Yunqi was unaware of the affection that had developed in his heart, thinking that everything was based on his own true feelings.
Chen Ye took Sheng Yunqi to a small restaurant with decent business to eat: "Senior Sheng, I am short of money and cannot afford a good restaurant, so I can only treat you to a meal here. Although this restaurant is small, it has some unique features. Don't worry, you will not be disappointed."
Sheng Yunqi didn't care about this. When the Sheng family had money, he had eaten in many good restaurants. However, when he came out to gain experience, he had no money and had to spend the hard-earned money sparingly. He had been to small restaurants like this one before, and it was not as unacceptable as Chen Ye imagined.
The meal was a great success for both the host and the guests, because Chen Ye was a very good talker with high emotional intelligence. As the eldest son of the Sheng family, Sheng Yunqi soon revealed to Chen Ye that he used to have an extraordinary family background but now lived a life not too worldly.
After all, no matter how poor Sheng Yunqi is now, he doesn't have to worry about skills and magic weapons like a real casual cultivator. The spirit stones he earns are only needed to supply his own food, clothing, housing and transportation. In addition, his money-making efficiency during the foundation-building period allows him to live a more comfortable life than many casual cultivators.
And Chen Ye was the one who had truly climbed up from the bottom of the Qi Refining Stage. When he heard Sheng Yunqi's words, "No matter how poor you are, you are not so poor that you don't even have a low-grade magic weapon," he knew that this was a young master who was out of touch with the world.
Either they have just fallen into poverty, or they have run away from home, or they are young masters who are looking to experience life.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to say something like "why not eat meat?"
Chen Ye began to have the desire to make friends with Sheng Yunqi, the young master, and he became even more eager.
However, Sheng Yunqi was still somewhat wary of others and was not immediately fooled by Chen Ye into treating him as a brother.
Of course, it is also possible that it is because of the difference in cultivation between the two. In the cultivation world, those with higher cultivation are seniors, and those with lower cultivation are juniors. This is true even if the age difference between the two is not big.
Therefore, when Sheng Yunqi, who was in the Foundation Establishment Stage, looked at Chen Ye, who was in the Qi Refining Stage, he would inevitably treat him as a junior. In addition, Chen Ye called him "senior" at the beginning, which made it even more difficult for him to treat him as an equal.
This made Chen Ye secretly annoyed when he later found out Sheng Yunqi's age. He shouldn't have established the relationship of senior and junior so quickly, which made it difficult to get closer to them now.
However, Chen Ye’s desire to break through the foundation-building stage became stronger and stronger.
After Sheng Yunqi and Chen Ye parted ways, the old voice in Chen Ye's sea of consciousness sounded again: "This Sheng Qi should be from a powerful force, otherwise he would not know the news of Ningmaizhi. Ye'er, you did a good job..."
Originally, the owner of the old voice thought that Chen Ye was out of his mind and took the initiative to move towards Sheng Yunqi, who had a Nascent Soul cultivator behind him. He even suspected that Chen Ye had noticed his intention and wanted to use Sheng Yunqi's power to deal with him.
However, when Chen Ye asked Sheng Yunqi about the news about Ningmaizhi, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
When Chen Ye heard his master's praise, an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes. He smiled and said, "This is what a disciple should do. If it weren't for my low strength and lack of information, I wouldn't have taken the risk to make friends with Sheng Qi. After all, if I want to obtain the Nengmai Ganoderma to help my master recover his strength, I have to rely on Sheng Qi to have the opportunity to come into contact with the Nengmai Ganoderma that grows in the third-grade spiritual vein..."
Chen Ye's words made his master very happy. He no longer objected to Chen Ye's continued risk of making friends with Sheng Yunqi. The worst that could happen was that he would just fall asleep and not show up when he was close to Sheng Yunqi.
Chen Ye calmly confirmed again and again that the master hidden in his sea of consciousness did not dare to show up next to Sheng Yunqi, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He finally found a chance to catch his breath.
So Chen Ye tried even harder to make friends with Sheng Yun.
Chen Ye's background was not good. He was just an ordinary boy from a small mountain village. By chance, he obtained the method of cultivation and embarked on the path of cultivation. He then met this dead master who was only left with a broken soul of Nascent Soul. Only then did he have the chance to become a real cultivator.
Therefore, Chen Ye has developed the ability to speak differently to different people and to different people in the process of struggling. In the process of getting along with Sheng Yunqi, he always makes Sheng Yunqi feel that his words touch his heart and make him feel at ease.
So even if Sheng Yunqi was wary of Chen Ye at the beginning, he gradually relaxed his vigilance.
