80s Taoism

Ever since he found out that supernatural power really existed in this world on the Xiyun Treasure Boat, Zheng Wendong pestered Zhang Jiaohua every day, hoping to learn more about the cultivation world from Zhang Jiaohua.

"Zhang Jiaohua, how is our relationship? Just say something, can you tell me about the supernatural power?" Zheng Wendong pulled Zhang Jiaohua out of the classroom and asked in a low voice after seeing that there was no one around.

"The relationship is normal. Didn't I tell you that it's best if you don't know about that aspect. Knowing too much will harm you." Zhang Jiaohua doesn't have a spell that can make Zheng Wendong completely forget what he has experienced. Even if there is such a spell, Zhang Jiaohua will use it very carefully. If the victim loses his memory, isn't it too much? Besides, even if Zheng Wendong knew about the treasure ship, if he went out to tell others, no one would believe it. As for the treasure ship, Zhang Jiaohua believed that it was impossible for ordinary people to have such an opportunity to get close to the treasure ship.

"Hey, you, why are you like this?" Zheng Wendong jumped anxiously.

Zhang Jiaohua remained indifferent, "Even if this matter is over, no matter what, I won't tell you."

Zheng Wendong was annoyed, "Zhang Jiaohua, you are so mean! Don't think that if you don't tell me, I can't help it. One day, I will figure it out!"

Zheng Wendong left in a huff, apparently he already had resentment towards Zhang Jiaohua.

Zhang Jiaohua shook his head with a wry smile, this matter still left sequelae. But he didn't care, Zheng Wendong didn't have a good talent for cultivation, even if Zhang Jiaohua forcibly pulled him into the world of cultivation, it would be harmful to Zheng Wendong. Cultivating the Tao requires energy, time, and even huge sums of money. If you have no talent but force yourself to cultivate, you will end up with nothing. For ordinary people, it may be a greater pain to practice for a lifetime, but there is no hope of eternal life.

"What's wrong with Zheng Wendong?" Xu Xiaoting came over and asked in puzzlement seeing Zheng Wendong's angry look.

"How do I know? This guy is crazy." Zhang Jiaohua looked at Zheng Wendong's back helplessly.

"Did you say something about him?" Xu Xiaoting was not concerned about Zheng Wendong, but worried about Zhang Jiaohua.

"I didn't say anything. He just couldn't figure out some things. It doesn't matter, he will always figure it out. If he doesn't figure it out now, he will definitely figure it out in the future." Zhang Jiaohua looked at Zheng Wendong's back and smiled.

"Zhang Jiaohua, thank you for letting all the students in our class have a happy weekend." Xu Xiaoting said sincerely.

"What are you talking about. I'm also very relaxed and happy on weekends. We're all in the same class, so we'll be out of touch if you're so polite." Zhang Jiaohua said.

"So, I won't say anything to be polite. Zhang Jiaohua, I think you usually like to read classical books. I wonder if you are interested in antique auctions?" Xu Xiaoting changed the subject.

"What antique auction?" Zhang Jiaohua asked puzzled, he didn't know much about this business. Fatty likes to play this game.

"It's just some ancient collectibles, antiques, ancient books, and some weird ancient things. Once, someone brought an ancient tripod to my auction house for auction, saying that it was an alchemy furnace for ancient monks. It hasn't been sold yet. Everyone doesn't believe it. Isn't alchemy in ancient times a lie? In the Han Dynasty, alchemy was the most popular. At that time, not only did people take the elixir, they did not live forever, but many died of poisoning." Xu Xiaoting laughed.

"Then is there any auction of ancient books about alchemy?" Zhang Jiaohua asked.

Xu Xiaoting pointed at Zhang Jiaohua and giggled, "What? You really believe in alchemy?"

"Yeah, maybe it's true. In the future, I'll give you an elixir of immortality after I have practiced it." Zhang Jiaohua said.

"Why did you give it to me?" Xu Xiaoting blushed, and stopped pursuing the question of the authenticity of alchemy.

"Wouldn't it be nice to let you live forever?" Zhang Jiaohua said it casually, but didn't pay attention to the change in Xu Xiaoting's expression.

"Then this Friday night, I will take you to participate in the auction held by our family's auction house. The alchemy furnace is also one of the auction items. I heard that this time, someone sent a batch of ancient books. Maybe there are alchemy techniques that you are interested in." After Xu Xiaoting finished speaking, she ran away immediately.

"Alchemy furnace?" Zhang Jiaohua was really interested.

The class bell rang for a long time before Zheng Wendong returned to the classroom. From the beginning of class to the end of get out of class, Zheng Wendong no longer turned around to chat with Zhang Jiaohua as usual. From beginning to end, he never looked back. After class, meeting Zhang Jiaohua outside was like seeing a stranger.

"Zheng Wendong is too much. If it weren't for you, he wouldn't be able to enter the school team at all. Now he ignores you. This guy is too much. You don't owe him anything." Li Wenjuan was very dissatisfied with Zheng Wendong's attitude.

Xu Xiaoting is a very forbearing person, "Forget it, we are all classmates in the same class. He probably won't be able to turn the corner right away. When he figures it out, he will change."

"Xu Xiaoting, haven't you seen Zheng Wendong's attitude towards Zhang Jiaohua? Zhang Jiaohua didn't owe him anything, but Zhang Jiaohua did so much for the class. That person in our class didn't get the benefits of Zhang Jiaohua? Zheng Wendong is making progress now!" Li Wenjuan said dissatisfiedly.

Zhang Jiaohua smiled and said, "Let him go. It's not like I can't live without him. Don't make trouble, I have to take a good look at the materials of the auction on Friday night. Xu Xiaoting, why is there no information about the alchemy furnace you mentioned?"

Xu Xiaoting said with a smile, "The above are all the main items of this auction. The alchemy furnace is a joke. If the client asked him to participate in the auction, he would not have been allowed to participate in the auction at all. Why are there promotional flyers? Our Xu's Auction House still needs face."

"Then if I go to the auction and buy that alchemy furnace, will I lose your face?" Zhang Jiaohua asked.

"You really want to buy that alchemy furnace?" Xu Xiaoting giggled.

"Yes. It's good to buy it back and study how the ancients made alchemy." Zhang Jiaohua said.

"If it's not like this, I'll tell my parents when I go back and tell them not to put that alchemy furnace up for auction, and you can just buy it from that seller," Xu Xiaoting said.

"Forget it. I'll go straight to the shoot. You won't be stuck in the middle." Zhang Jiaohua shook his head.

From Xu Xiaoting, Zhang Jiaohua learned about the procedures needed to participate in the auction, so that he could not go to the auction house in time, but could not participate in the auction.

Zhang Jiaohua attaches great importance to participating in this auction and hopes to get something of interest through this auction. Now that the monastic world is declining and many ancient monastic families are in decline, some previously treasured monastic resources will inevitably flow out slowly. These things are worthless to these declining monastic families, but to Zhang Jiaohua, they may be priceless. Although Zhang Jiaohua obtained the ancient inheritance, after all, it was only the memory of the inheritance attached to a magic weapon. Not very comprehensive. In the process of cultivating Taoism, Zhang Jiaohua could only explore slowly. For Zhang Jiaohua, if he could obtain some precious information on cultivation, it would be very valuable.

Xu Xiaoting's family runs a medium-sized auction house, and they are also well-known in the auction house. When Xu Xiaoting returned home, she told her parents about inviting her classmates to participate in the auction on Friday night.

Xu's mother, Tang Jingxian, immediately noticed that something was wrong with her daughter, "Is that classmate of yours a boy or a girl?"

Xu Xiaoting didn't answer the question immediately, but quickly explained, "We went to Xiyun Reservoir last week. My classmate invited three big stars, Tang Yan, Chen Cheng, and Chen Haibo, and rented a luxury cruise ship. The classmates in our class had a great time. Yesterday I told him that our auction house was going to hold a large-scale auction soon, and asked him if he was interested. I didn't expect him to be really interested. He said he would come to take pictures of the alchemy furnace."

When Tang Jingxian saw her daughter's beaming eyebrows, she knew that this girl had fallen in love with someone else. It might not be easy for that boy to invite a big star like Tang Yan, let alone a playboy from a wealthy family. My daughter has been growing up in a greenhouse without any scheming, so don't fall into other people's traps. So, Tang Jingxian quickly asked, "What does your classmate do at home?"

Xu Xiaoting didn't know why her mother asked this, "Mom, why are you asking this? His family seems to be in the southern countryside. He and Chen Cheng are still from the same village. In "The Great Tomb", he played the little hunter in it. That's when he met Tang Yan and the others."

"So that's the case. Does he often play with you?" Tang Jingxian asked.

"No. I go to him every time." Xu Xiaoting blurted out, and when she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong, and her face turned red.

"Ouch. You stinky girl, after all, you still have a crush on her." Tang Jingxian gave a wry smile.

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? Zhang Jiaohua and I are just ordinary classmates." Xu Xiaoting said unhappily.

Tang Jingxian thought to herself: I believe you are the one to blame.

"I've made an agreement with you. You complete the formalities for him. He is going to participate in the auction." Xu Xiaoting quickly reminded Tang Jingxian again.

"Okay, old lady, my memory isn't that bad! When you grow up, you girl must be the only one in your heart who forgets your parents." Tang Jingxian said angrily.

"Mom! What are you talking about?" Xu Xiaoting blushed with embarrassment. But I thought in my heart, when I grow up in the future, if I marry Zhang Jiaohua, will I miss my parents more, or will I want Zhang Jiaohua more? It's just so embarrassing. Xu Xiaoting only felt that her face was hot. I quickly hid in my room, for fear that my mother would see through my mind.
