Also bought a ticket for Xiong Zhiqi, Zhao Zhu and Xiong Zhiqi arrived at Bao'an International Airport in SZ City by taxi the next day. The plane was not late, and the two quickly boarded the plane.

  Zhao Zhu's mother booked him a business class ticket, and Zhao Zhu naturally also booked a business class ticket for Xiong Zhiqi. The environment was relatively comfortable, and since they were going back to attend his aunt's birthday party, Zhao Zhu paid special attention to his attire. He was originally a handsome guy, and now he was dressed very elegantly, with high-end clothes and accessories from head to toe. This made the flight attendants can't help but glance at Zhao Zhu, as this kind of young and wealthy man was usually their favorite "prey".

  If it were usual, Zhao Zhu estimated that he would not object to flirting with the flight attendants and even secretly exchanging phone numbers for convenient communication in the future. However, after practicing hand seals all night, Zhao Zhu was just feeling very tired at this time, and soon after the plane took off, he put on his specially prepared eye mask and started resting.

  On the other hand, Xiong Zhiqi was indeed eyeing the flight attendants beside him, but unfortunately, the flight attendants didn't take a liking to him. The fat guy had a pig-like appearance, and the flight attendants were quite discerning in their assessment of people, they wouldn't waste their time with some country bumpkin.

  However, Xiong Zhiqi's family is not small, the key is that there is Zhao Zhu, a rich second generation, who is supporting him with some money to raise an air hostess, which is more than enough. And if Xiong Zhiqi wants to make some money to spend, it's very simple. But for people like them, their life goal is no longer about making money, after all, having money is not as important as having a life to spend it on.

  The plane arrived in Shanghai just after noon, and Zhao Zhuo and Xiong Zhiqi pushed two small suitcases out of the airport. At this time, there was already a driver arranged by Zhao Zhuo's mother waiting outside the airport.

  "Wow, Zhao Ge, I really have a feeling of shooting a TV series now."

  If he hadn't seen "Horror Web Novel", joined the reader group, Xiong Zhiqi would have been just an ordinary little **~ silk in SZ city. It was precisely this terrifying opportunity that might have cost him his life or made him see a ghost, which brought about a complete change in Xiong Zhiqi's life.

  The driver got off at the station, and an old man in a Tang suit came down from the deputy driving position. The old man was the steward of Zhao Zhu's parents' house, with a strong horizontal practice. Before Zhao Zhu was born, the old man's family had food poisoning, which was life-threatening, but was rescued by Zhao Zhu's father. Since then, the old man has been serving in the Zhao family to repay his kindness.

  "Master, you're back! Your grandparents and wife have been missing you terribly."

  "Thanks for your trouble, Ding Bo, for coming to pick me up yourself. This is my friend, surname Xiong."

  "Hello Ding Bo, I'm Xiong Zhiqi."

  "Alright, let's get in the car, young master and Little Bear. The lady is cooking at home for your return, it's getting late already."

  Ding Bo opened the car door for Zhao Zhu, and Zhao Zhu and Xiong Zhiqi got in. The car was very spacious, with even a small wine table inside. After Ding Bo sat down, he poured a glass of wine for both Zhao Zhu and Xiong Zhiqi. Then, Ding Bo sat on one side with his eyes closed, cultivating his spirit. However, the old man's heart had taken note that it seemed like only a year had passed since they last met, yet the aura around their young master had changed greatly - to describe it as earth-shattering would not be an exaggeration. As a martial artist, he was most sensitive to such changes in aura.

  The car drove for about twenty minutes before entering a high-end villa area. Zhao Zhu's father, although still working in SZ due to work relationships, usually works in Shanghai and Beijing, organizing medical teams to deal with major medical events. His mother's medical industry has also long been beyond SZ city, spreading very widely, so she lives with her husband.

  After verifying the house card, Zhao Zhu and Xiong Zhiqi finally walked into the house under the gaze of several security personnel. The decoration at home was very elegant and atmospheric. At this time, Zhao Zhu's mother came out with a apron on, holding Zhao Zhu's hand and looking left and right. When introducing Xiong Zhiqi, Zhao Zhu's mother directly gave him a red envelope, and Xiong Zhiqi could only blush and accept it, because this was the local custom, where elders would give a red envelope to younger ones when meeting for the first time.

  Three people sat down, Zhao Zhu started serving his mother rice, and asked at the same time:

  "Where's my dad?"

  "Your dad is busy and won't be back home for lunch, and it's uncertain if he'll be back tonight. Tomorrow's your aunt's birthday party, but he may not make it either."

  "Are you busy?"

  "There's been some issues with the body of a central leader recently, your dad has to be by their side at all times with the medical team."

  Zhao Zhu nodded, this was indeed a big deal, and his own father had also been somewhat helpless.

  Zhao Zhu's mother, Wu Xiuya, was quite skilled in cooking, and the dishes she made were very delicious. Xiong Zhiqi ate until his belly was full, and he kept praising how good it tasted, making Zhao's mother laugh with joy.

  After dinner, Wu Xiuya had to go back to the company to deal with some matters, and only Zhao Zhu and Xiong Zhiqi were left in the villa. This was also an unavoidable thing, after all, each parent had their own career to attend to, and it was naturally difficult to take care of family matters.

  "Dà Xióng, can you still move?" Zhao Zhu stretched out his hand and patted Xiong Zhiqi's belly.

  "It's okay, haha." Xiong Zhiqi also smiled awkwardly.

  "Go, aren't you looking for some Chinese medicinal herbs to soak in wine and wash your hands? My dad's study has a lot of stock, I'll help you find some."

  "This... doesn't seem quite right..."

  "Is a medicine valuable only when it's used by people, or is it precious just because it exists?"

  Zhao Zhu led Xiong Zhiqi to the third floor of the villa, to a room deep inside. This was Zhao Zhu's father's study, which was decorated in a grand style and had many books, including ancient texts and medical books. There were also rows of large shelves storing medicinal materials like ginseng, which Zhao Zhu's father would carefully tend to every day. The entire study not only gave off an antique charm but also exuded a faint scent of medicine.

  "Here, people take ginseng and stuff, if you want it just take it, I'll tell my dad later."

  "Hmm." Since Zhao Zhu had said so, Xiong Zhiqi also stopped being polite and started picking.

  Zhao Zhu walked up to the bookshelf and casually flipped through some medical books.

  Just then, Xiong Zhiqi suddenly let out a cry of surprise:

  "Zhao Ge, come and take a look, how did this end up in your dad's study?"

  Zhao Zhu walked over and found that Xiong Zhiqi was pointing at a ginseng as big as a palm, but the color of this ginseng was deeper than ordinary ginseng, yet there was no other difference.

  "I thought it was an ordinary ginseng at first, but when I touched it with my hand, I knew something was wrong. This thing is hiding yin energy inside, ginseng is a yang object that supplements the human body's fire, how can it have yin energy?"

  "What do you mean?"

  "This is not a ginseng at all, it's a ghost ginseng! A ghost ginseng specializes in absorbing the yang energy of living people nearby to nourish itself. Whoever stays with it for a long time will suffer from physical loss at best and shortened lifespan at worst."

  Xiong Zhiqi said as he took out the bottle of tiger tooth powder from his pocket, poured some on the ginseng, and indeed, a cloud of fog dispersed. The fog above the ginseng began to change constantly, and soon transformed into an extremely ferocious face, as if it had experienced countless hardships and torture, carrying a strong resentment. Even Zhao Zhu, who had strengthened his spiritual constitution, could feel this aura at this moment.

  "The cultivation method of Gui Cen is extremely cruel. When the young Cen is first placed on a child's body to be nurtured, it sucks the child's vital energy to survive. After the child dies prematurely, it is then transferred to an adult to continue being nurtured. The person being nurtured, whether physically or spiritually, will suffer unbearable torture. Their resentment will also be absorbed and transformed by Gui Cen."

  "I immediately called and asked my dad who sent this thing."

  Zhao Zhu pulled out his mobile phone, he was clear that the majority of the medicinal materials in this study were gifts from his father's friends and colleagues, while his own father rarely spent money to buy these things.

  "Zhao Ge, if you knew who did it, what would you do?" Xiong Zhiqi asked.

  "What are you going to do? I'll kill his whole family!" Zhao Zhu's face turned very gloomy, although he hadn't been close to his father since childhood, but at this moment, suddenly knowing that someone wanted to harm his old man, as a son, this anger naturally burst out from the bottom of his heart.

  The phone was answered:

  "Hey, Zongzi, how come you're thinking of calling your dad?" Zhao Zong's father was clearly very surprised, because he knew his son had always only been in contact with his mom.

  "Dad, who gave you the ginseng with purple packaging in your study?"

  "Huh? What's wrong with you? You've taken a liking to it? Want it? Then just take it."

  "I asked who gave it to you."

  "This... purple packaging... oh, I remember now. It was your aunt who gave it to me the day before yesterday. She said that your cousin had bought some good ginseng outside and specifically asked her to give it to me. Haha, look at you, your future daughter-in-law is so considerate, knowing how to respect her elders. Although I think that ginseng doesn't seem particularly special."
