Chapter 41: It's Really Going to Happen
After an hour on the plane, Xiaohua was already asleep in her luxurious soft recliner. He Ming, who had taken the Inner Elixir, was restless and pretended to read a magazine to cover up his expression, but he felt like there was a burning fire in his lower abdomen that was starting to radiate throughout his body.
He Ming felt as if there was a live volcano inside his body, extremely powerful, causing him to have boundless energy. Every breath he took became deeper and more immense, capable of blowing apart a lung capacity testing device. Every bone, muscle, flowing blood vessel, and tendon in his entire body were strengthening, becoming more robust, resilient, and full of vitality...
Even the meridians that are invisible to the naked eye seem to have come alive, becoming apparent under the impact of energy and forming a network of meridians. In this process, He Ming closed his eyes, sank his mind, and naturally conducted the first introspection, which was very successful. From the perspective of the upper emperor, he watched these meridians expand and extend under the impact of the inner elixir's energy, like building roads and forming a network of roads, becoming dense and complex, full of mysterious and beautiful feelings that cannot be understood. Finally, a network of meridians was formed, starting from the stomach, expanding to the entire lower abdomen, and finally covering the entire small intestine area. At this time, the energy impact of the inner elixir began to slow down and stopped.
He felt a surge of joy, he understood that he had absorbed the energy of the inner elixir, and the most dangerous moment had passed. The ancient warriors with insufficient physical strength, at first when digesting the inner elixir, like him, gained immense energy, boundless power, but soon couldn't withstand the impact of the energy, their bodies collapsed, and they were unable to digest the inner elixir, instead absorbing life force, so they died and turned into mummies.
He Ming had successfully cultivated the Toad Skill, so his physique was no longer human. He withstood the energy impact, digested the inner elixir, and began to reorganize it in his lower dantian. Before long, he would be able to form his own inner elixir. The energy released by the impact benefited He Ming greatly, enhancing all aspects of his body and successfully forming a network of meridians in his waist area, greatly strengthening all tissues in his waist, including cells.
He Ming was very happy with such a result, because the waist is one of the most important parts of the human body, and strengthening the waist is his ideal outcome.
When He Ming exited his inner vision and opened his eyes, he felt that his senses were incredibly sharp. The entire world was refreshed, as if it had evolved from a black-and-white world to a colorful one. With just a slight focus, he could see the tiny dust particles dancing in the air, which ordinary people could only see when sunlight shone on them. He could also hear Liu Xiaolian's breathing sounds beside him, slow and rhythmic, as the air was drawn into her lungs and then exhaled.
This feeling, incomparable beauty, at this moment the lights are off, a piece of darkness, but in He Ming's eyes, the whole world is bright and clear. He can see clearly the face of an air hostess sleeping seven or eight meters away from him, the tired skin under the makeup due to lack of sleep. He lowers his head, able to see in the dark, the shape of a grain of dirt in the gap between the hilt and blade of the treasured sword in his hand.
It was an unparalleled sensory pleasure, like a blind person seeing light for the first time. At the same moment, He Ming could clearly feel himself at an altitude of over 10,000 meters, with the clouds becoming intense and the wind howling incessantly. He could also hear the sound of the plane's engine clearly, and if there was anything abnormal, he could hear it too.
However, He Ming chose to fall asleep, and all his senses were withdrawn into his body. He could sleep like a baby, but as soon as there was any danger, he would automatically wake up. Because He Ming knew that he had thoroughly become non-human, he had become a spirit, even a divine being, able to sense unknown dangers. He knew that he must now be a Blue Light Life Form.
A few days ago, He Ming was still an insignificant little person, but now he has become one of the strongest humans on this planet, perhaps not just one.
He Ming shrugged his shoulders, overjoyed and also helpless to laugh or cry. With the magical glasses, there were no secrets in this world to him, he could easily obtain powers that others, even the richest man in the world or a national leader, couldn't get!
Just like this physical strengthening, just like this inner elixir is immeasurable with money, because you enjoy this world, in this world struggle, everything starts from the body and ends with the body.
The legendary Apple of Citibank, Mr. Jobs was infatuated with yoga and vegetarianism, but he still died young. If Ho Ming could have given him a piece of the wood of life at that time, this gentleman would have exchanged it for 100 billion US dollars, let alone an internal elixir.
If you give a vagrant and a drug addict a Tree of Life, it's not as good as giving them a hundred million in cash. The former would go wild, the latter would go crazy with drugs, whatever Middle Eastern or Colombian brand they want to smoke. But without a doubt, once the vagrants and drug addicts have money, they will also need things like the Tree of Life to better enjoy life.
He stretched out his hand to touch his own abdominal muscles, which were even more robust and powerful, with more pronounced block-like muscles and a wilder outline! He used all his strength to pinch, but didn't feel much pain, extremely tough and strong, probably able to withstand the slashing and stabbing of weapons.
They were approaching Songjiang, the lights inside the plane lit up, Liu Xiaolong woke up, opened his eyes, yawned, but inadvertently found that He Ming's eyes were extremely bright, like high-quality crystal shining, just like the eyes of the Ocean Gypsies, and even more profound and brighter than theirs.
"An illusion?" Liu Xiaoleng clearly felt that He Ming was different, his face, figure, and temperament had all undergone a complete transformation. In the past, she thought he looked clean and had an ethereal quality that was hard to put into words, but now his temperament was distinct, and he had become extremely good-looking, like a diamond in the rough that had been carefully cut and polished, finally revealing its dazzling brilliance.
Is it an illusion? Liu Xiaolong approached and took a closer look at He Ming, and Xiaohe's small leaves could also easily discover He Ming's difference. He Ming was a bit worried, so he could only smile wryly, they all thought this smile had become good-looking and enchanting.
Liu Xiaolong rubbed He Ming's face, and He Ming really had a brand new change. After sleeping on the plane, he found that he had completely changed from a little handsome guy to a super big handsome guy.
For example, today Liu Xiaolong saw He Ming, not only was he surprised by his strong physique, but also surprised that He Ming's entire person had become much younger, especially his skin suddenly became youthful and flawless. At the time, she envied and teased He Ming for looking like an 18-year-old young man, asking him why he was so young and strong again. He Ming explained that it was a divine skill, a certain divine skill that only men could cultivate.
Liu Xiaolong was skeptical, she wasn't being fooled, only she was fooling He Ming, and it's extremely difficult to fool her. But now He Ming is simply not human-like, his skin is like that of a 2-3 year old lovely baby, perfect and flawless, but this guy is already 21 years old!
Liu Xiaolong was extremely shocked, his eyes were fervent, and he excitedly said: "Husband, what have you done? How did you become like this?"
"What's wrong, dear? I didn't do anything!"
Liu Xiaolong took out a makeup mirror and handed it to He Ming, saying: "Take a look at yourself in the mirror! Your eyes are shining!"
At a glance, he couldn't help but laugh and cry, no wonder the glasses said they would get a special trait, a strong spirit, his eyes became extremely bright, shining brightly, with a hint of spirituality, and even had hypnotic and seductive abilities.
As expected, He Ming's eyes rolled around and he was about to come up with a wicked idea when Liu Xiaolian rushed over and said: "Husband, don't roll your eyes! I knew you were going to come up with something mischievous! Your eyes are simply beautiful now! Quickly tell me what's going on! I want in too!"
"Excuse me, ma'am, we're about to land. Please return to your seat and fasten your seatbelt." a flight attendant said.
Liu Xiaolong gave He Ming a "you must tell me" look and returned to his own position.
At 11:27 pm, He Ming stepped back onto Songjiang soil. He led Liu Xiaolian and her two sisters out of the airport quickly. Seeing a sign with his name on it, he knew it was the driver sent by Yingqun to pick him up.
"I am here!"
On the bus, the driver also knew that time was tight. All heavyweight buyers had arrived and were preparing for the top-notch transaction meeting 13 minutes later. If they were late, it would be detrimental to their credit.
On the bus, He Ming dealt with Liu Xiaolian on one hand and opened his mobile phone on the other. There were unreturned calls from home, Zhou Qingyun, Xue Hu, Liu Feng, Ying Qun and Huang XueXiong.
"What's going on at home?" He Ming called home first, and his second sister talked for a few minutes. Today, there are more relatives, and they can't keep up with the work. His parents' friends have also come, and they are envious of the luxurious mansion. You have become a god-like person; the influence of the big sale has also been sensationalized, and everyone is envious...; Xiao Tu Haoran has caused trouble again, running into someone's garden to practice his frog skills, scaring them sick...
Second sister spoke for three minutes, He Ming really admired her eloquence and lung capacity, so she said: "I'm too busy, I'll call you tomorrow, don't call me again, if there's anything, you can call Xiaoyun. I'll be back soon, going abroad in a few days!"
The second sister cheered endlessly and wanted to say something else, but He Ming had already hung up the phone.
Liu Xiaoleng said sourly: "You call Xiao Yun, why don't you call me Xiao Leng."
"Xiao Lian wife~~~~" He Ming said, sending a message to Zhou Qingyun, saying that he had already arrived in Songjiang and would be back home around 1 o'clock. Wife, go to bed early.
"Hubby, come back quickly. I'm waiting for you... to play the games you like."
He Ming hung up the phone under Liu Xiaolian's "heartless" gaze, and Xiaohe and Xiaoye, two sisters, burst out laughing.
He called Xue Hu, and Xue Hu roared: "Big brother! What time is it? Where are you? Report your location to me immediately!"
He Ming told Huang Xue-xiong's location and said, "Sorry, too busy, tens of millions in a minute. Come pick me up later, there is still more than an hour, don't rush!"
Xue Hu hung up the phone and is probably rushing over!
Then, He Ming called Liu Feng and Liu Feng told him that the bangles were ready. How to deliver them? He Ming reported Huang Xue-xiong's address and said: "Liu Feng brother, I got a batch of diamonds, do you want to take them? Don't know if they can be processed or not? Don't forget to bring the appraiser!"
"Of course, I'll take it. As long as the diamond is good and the price is reasonable. He Ming, I'll rush over right away. Meeting you is really my lucky charm. The last time's Hong Cu expanded our company's reputation, this time's Bing Zhong green is also worth expecting."
"Alright, alright. See you later then."
He Ming hung up the phone, and Liu Xiaoli anxiously said: "Husband, where's the diamond? Let me see it."
He Ming took out a small leather bag from his pocket and said, "Be careful, one grain is worth tens of thousands, and a bit more is worth hundreds of millions!"
Liu's sisters took a deep breath, and Liu Xiaolong spread it out to take a look. Although it was only roughly processed and hastily made into a shape, it could still be discerned as a bag of diamonds, with over a hundred grains, worth a fortune. The people in the car, except for He Ming, were all stunned, even the driver's breathing was heavy, his hands trembling, you know, they're currently speeding on the highway.
He Ming retrieved the small cloth bag, took out a diamond, estimated to be around one carat after cutting, and handed it to the driver: "Driver, please drive carefully, if we get into an accident, it'll be terrible. This diamond is for you, find a jewelry store to cut it and make a ring for your wife."
The driver took it and said: "Thank you, Mr. He Ming!" After receiving the gift, his hands steadied, and they were approaching Antique Street soon.
Liu Xiaolong said: "You must use the best diamond to make a ring for me, and also for my two younger sisters, as well as my older sister and mother."
He Mingdao said: "It's nothing, my wife, at your service."
Xiao He and Xiao Ye were overjoyed when they heard this, and said together: "He Ming brother, you're so great!"
He Ming said with a smile: "Everyone says I'm good, come and give me a kiss!"
"You're a sick pervert!" Liu Xiaolong interrupted his shameless remarks and pinched He Ming's face again, because apart from his face, everyone likes to pinch babies' faces, no explanation needed.
It's almost time, He Ming called Yingqun and told her to arrive in a few minutes. Yingqun said: "Little brother, you've finally arrived. There are many buyers today, all big shots. Don't disappoint them and ruin my reputation."
"He Ming smiled mysteriously and said, 'I will absolutely not let you down.'"
"Hang up the phone. He Mingdao said, 'Wife, you take Xiaohua and Xiao Ye to find a big hotel to stay in first, I'll go pick you up tomorrow. Master, can you take them to find a big hotel?'".
The driver nodded and said: "Alright, Mr. He Ming."
Liu Xiaoleng coldly smiled and said: "Then you want to go find the Fox Spirit? Didn't we agree that it's not good for us to meet?"
He Ming said, "Isn't it too late? I took a plane at six o'clock today and rushed for a day. Let me take a good rest at Xiaoyun's place first, okay?" As he spoke, He Ming performed with the elegance of a Hollywood actor, his words sincere and heartfelt, deeply moving, and perfectly capturing the essence of "men don't cry easily".
Liu Xiaolong hummed and said: "I'll send Xiaohe and Xiaoye to the hotel to sleep first, I'll come back to find you."
He Ming was startled and said: "Isn't Xiaohua afraid of sleeping alone in a big hotel by the Songjiang River?"
Liu Xiaohua and Liu Xiaoye said together: "He Ming brother, we are not afraid! Moreover, we sleep together, it's two people! Not one person!"
He Ming had nothing to say, so he could only pretend to be shameless to relieve his psychological discomfort: "How about He Ming brother sleeping with you guys too ~~"
"I hate it!"
Arriving at Huang Xue-xiong's Treasure Pavilion, He Ming got off the car, shouldered a large trunk, carried his backpack and took up the treasured sword, then charged forward.
Huang Xue-xiong and Ying-qun had been waiting anxiously at the entrance, and when they saw He Ming get out of the car, they hastily said: "He's finally here! 11:38, right on time! Let's go, everyone has been waiting!"
Ying Qun patted He Mingdao on the back and said: "Little brother looks even more robust. Hmm, strange, what's going on with your eyes? They've become sparkling bright."
He Ming decided to push everything onto Hamao's merits and said vaguely: "Sister Ying, you understand. Your brother, the tiger, Hu Dajiao will all know that set!"
"Really frustrating, women just can't learn."
Huang Xue led He Ming upstairs quickly, pushed open the door of a conference room, and inside the spacious conference room there were more than 50 people, including men and women, old and young.
They cast their eyes together, especially focusing on He Ming's body.
Huang Xue-xiong walked over with a smile and said, "Haha, everyone, the famous discoverer of the Malan Mountain Ape-man skull, He Ming, has finally arrived. In our industry, he has a very loud nickname - only genuine products! For example, two pieces of Qing dynasty top-grade porcelain, recently Mr. Lin's sensational 110 million yuan Northern and Southern Dynasties Buddha statue made of sheep fat white jade. Even ordinary people can't find the Blue Army Mail in their lifetime, but this man produces five at once!"
He Ming didn't beat around the bush and directly placed the large box on the coffee table, opened it, and first took out four Southern Song Dynasty Ge kiln plates and four Tang Sancai pieces, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"He Ming loudly said: 'Everyone, all are genuine products, credit guarantee, counterfeit products can be returned to me for a refund! Due to limited time, if you see something you like, just call out to me, the price is up to you. If no one else competes, and I'm satisfied with the price, then the transaction is complete. There are many good things, everyone enjoy browsing!'"
A crowd gathered around, constantly observing the eight pieces of porcelain. He Ming took out two more blue-glazed porcelain pieces, which were passed to an old man and a young man respectively, who examined them with magnifying glasses, nodding repeatedly.
But this is just the beginning, He Ming took out a grandmother green ring the size of an egg from the box, and several women saw it, their eyes lit up instantly, and they all wanted to try it on.
Although it's jewelry, He Ming still doesn't like to give it to his woman, because this is the Ming Dynasty's jewelry, a precious cultural relic. Although some ancient unbelievable techniques make ancient jewelry better than modern technology, it's a fine piece among them.
They are antiques, but He Ming still can't accept such old jewelry for his wife, mother and sisters to wear. It feels like wearing cultural relics rather than jewelry. If they're not careful, they might break them. After all, time is long, and special care is needed.
Protection.
He Ming took out the crystal clear square jade seal again, and immediately many jade collectors shouted: "Good stuff, come and let me take a look first."
"Give it to me! I'll go first!"
He Ming smiled and handed it over to the nearest man, saying loudly: "There are plenty of good things, don't rush, take your time to appreciate them, and you can start bidding at any time!"
He Ming took out the string of gemstone necklace, which was really gorgeous and dazzling under the light. Even Ying Qun said: "Come on, little brother, good stuff, let me take a look!"
He Ming naturally handed it over to his god-sister and continued to fetch things. At this time, the Ming Yongle imperial sword brought by He Ming was also picked up by a collector. He took a look and said: "Beautiful! It's like that British one, no, better than that British one in terms of quality, with a murderous aura that is overwhelming, the blade is sharp as always, unbelievable, it's truly a divine weapon!"
The precious sword also attracted many people, after all it is a blue light item worth 45.
He Ming took out four pieces of blue and white porcelain from the second box, most of which were intact, including a plum vase and a bowl. At that time, he was in a hurry and didn't examine them carefully, and they were immediately taken over by others to be examined with a magnifying glass.
Among them, a large emerald seal suddenly made many people shout: "Come on, come on, give it to me!" Then it was snatched away by an expert with quick hands.
Tightly wrapped, the box was empty. He Ming opened his backpack and first took out a bundle of jade Ruyi, all seven blue light jade Ruyi. Ancient people especially liked to use jade to make Ruyi.
Of course, they were all taken away to examine their authenticity and value. Next, He Ming took out a box from his backpack and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the final treasure, a seal of the Ming dynasty's official rank. All are genuine goods, and there is also a tiger seal, I don't know where it came from, but it must be the seal of a Ming dynasty general! Welcome everyone to appreciate them fully. The treasures end here!"
He pushed open the box, and most collectors looked at the official seals of the governor and other officials, then looked at He Ming, what a talent! The official seal of the Ming Dynasty is so hard to find, he actually got eight official seals, plus one tiger seal!
The diamond necklace was immediately snatched away by others, and Ying Qun walked over and said: "Young brother, you're really something. Today's turnover is estimated to be over 200 million. Don't forget that when the time comes, both I and Huang Ge will take a 2% commission."
He Ming nodded repeatedly: "Must! Maybe Xue Hu wants to come and find me, I'll leave for a while, Ying Jie please help host the trading meeting, the treasure sword is not 50 million I won't let go, other prices are reasonable then let go."
Ying Qun nodded and said: "I know what you're going to do. I'm fine, I'll directly transfer the transaction money to your account."
Huang Xue-xiong rushed over and said: "What's wrong with Xiaoming? Wait a minute, why are your eyes shining?"
He Mingdao said: "I have one more very important thing. The eyes, having made a fortune, are in a good mood."
As soon as he said this, Ying Qun gently shook his head, this younger brother is really bragging without any limit.
Huang Xue-xiong is suspicious and envious, after getting rich his eyes became so bright? I got rich early on, but my eyes have become yellower instead?
The atmosphere on the scene was very lively, they discussed Ge Kiln plate or Tang Sancai and so on. Some collectors were very interested in rare official seals, trying to decipher the text to see which local official seal it was at that time.
He Ming saw Lin Ban holding the celadon jade seal and not letting go, with a satisfied expression, guessing that he had taken a liking to it. It was no surprise that Lin Ban, who could spend 110 million on an extreme jade Buddha, would not let go of a Ming dynasty celadon jade seal made from a single piece of jade, with perfect quality and exquisite craftsmanship.
Lin Ban was accompanied by a beautiful woman, with elegant gestures and high-quality facial features. She appreciated the gemstone necklace very much and loved it dearly.
"Lin Ban's wife is also a wealthy woman, her family is very rich."
Lin Ban raised the emerald seal and shouted: "He Ming, this emerald seal, I'll give you 200 million!"
"22 million!" Someone immediately shouted a price, but Lin Ban easily knocked down all competitors: "25 million!"
He Ming was overjoyed and said: "No one is bidding anymore? Good, sold!"
Immediately afterwards, someone picked up a well-preserved official seal of the Zhi Prefecture and started bidding, eventually selling it for 850,000.
Eight official seals are relatively rare and have a great significance in understanding the history of Ming Dynasty's Chuanbei region at that time. Although they are colorful and have many copper rusts, after all, they were buried underground for more than 600 years, so they were sold for a total of 3.2 million yuan. The tiger seal is well-preserved and rare in existence, and it was sold for 520,000 yuan.
Also comes with a Ming dynasty red wood box for storing official seals. This brings the total to 250 million + 3.72 million, and the most valuable items are yet to come. He Ming thought that it seems that only selling top-notch items is worth the money. From now on, he'll keep the less valuable items for his own collection, even if they're just blue light, but sometimes the difference can be huge.
Just then, a furious roar came from outside the door: "He Ming, get out for me! It's 0:05! Hurry up, or I'll come in and grab you!"
He Ming also felt that time was really running out and had to leave, so he said: "Sister Ying, can you help preside over the transaction?" As he spoke, he picked up his backpack and left. As soon as he walked out the door, he saw two security guards blocking Xue Hu, who was furious.
Xue Hu saw He Ming come out, grabbed him with one hand, and the two didn't say a word. They rushed straight to the outside, jumped into a Jeep parked at the door, and the car hadn't even turned off the engine. As soon as they got in, the car sped away.
On the bus, He Ming explained with a bitter smile. Since he got rich, he was really busy to death. In the past when he was poor, he often said, "Let's do it tomorrow", and when tomorrow came, he would say again, "Let's do it tomorrow".
Now, this afternoon, the treasure was discovered, and it will be auctioned off tonight. He never thought of putting it off until tomorrow. Because He Ming knows that now he is worth tens of thousands of dollars per minute, time is money, and tomorrow he still has to fly to the capital to have dinner at the Hu's house.
No wonder rich people are so successful, because they really work hard every day, busy to the point of having no time for meals, and even going to auctions in the wee hours. However, this can be understood, as they don't have to go to work and do manual labor, and sleeping for a whole day and night is not a big deal.
