Chapter 204: Car Accident!

　　"Senior, is this a flesh polyporus?"

　　Lu Fei recounted what had happened at Lingyun Temple.

　　"I've only been away for three years, and Jiangcheng has changed so much! Before this, I had never even heard of Lingyun Temple!"

　　Jia Banxian put on his reading glasses and stared at the pieces of meat for a long time, then shook his head.

　　"I've never seen a real Ganoderma lucidum! It's too rare, and very few people have ever seen the real thing. I only know of one person who has."

　　"Who?" Lu Fei immediately became interested.

　　"Your grandfather, Lu Qingxuan."

　　Lu Fei couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Senior, you know that my grandfather is not around."

　　"Although I may not be as knowledgeable as your grandfather, I may not have eaten pork, but I've seen pigs run."

　　Jia Banxian smiled and began to quote from books while shaking his head.

　　"When it comes to the Grandyear, there are many subtleties involved."

　　"The Compendium of Materia Medica records: 'The flesh-like ganoderma resembles meat, attached to large rocks, with both head and tail, it is a living organism. The red ones resemble coral, the white ones resemble fat, the black ones resemble lacquer, the green ones resemble jade feathers, and the yellow ones resemble purple gold, all shining and transparent like solid ice.'"

　　"Among them, the best is the Blood Grandyear!"

　　"It is said that taking one bite can cure all diseases, taking two bites can preserve youth, and taking three bites can grant immortality..."

　　Lu Fei hurriedly interrupted him: "Bianxian, stop boasting, let's talk about the real issue!"

　　Jia Bianxian coughed lightly, squinted his eyes, and said, "The meat slices you brought are milky white, but they are far from being 'white like fat'! Most likely, they are just trying to pass off as something they're not!"

　　In fact, Lu Fei had thought the same, but for the sake of caution, he still decided to ask someone else.

　　The flesh of the Taisui is inexhaustible and can regenerate even from a thin slice. How could it be so easily spoiled like these meat slices?

　　"I wonder what is being raised in that large water vat," Lu Fei was always a bit curious.

　　"No matter what it is, stay away from it. There's no need to bring trouble upon ourselves," Jia Bianxian waved his hand.

　　"Those rich people value their lives more than anyone else. The moment they hear of something that can prolong life and strengthen the body, they rush faster than anyone."

　　"There are many unscrupulous people who take advantage of this, creating things that sound impressive and making huge profits, as long as it doesn't kill people."

　　"Pity those fools, who still flock to it!"

　　Lu Fei nodded.

　　Isn't the booming business of Moon Gazing Manor based on the same principle?

　　By the time they finished talking, all the meat slices had already rotted and turned to water.

　　Lu Fei sent a message to Su Liguo, explaining the situation.

　　Su Liguo felt very fortunate. It was a good thing he had asked Lu Fei to help him with the inspection; otherwise, if he had eaten something mysterious, who knows what consequences it would have brought?

　　As for what exactly Lingyun Temple was raising, it had nothing to do with Lu Fei, and he naturally wouldn't meddle in others' affairs.

　　He then stayed with Jia Banxian for a while.

　　Although Jia Banxian's courtyard was large, it was rather desolate. The small black dog ran around, chasing birds and insects, bringing much vitality to the place.

　　"Lu Fei, you promised to lend me this little guy for a few days. Don't go back on your word now," Jia Banxian said, his face full of fondness as he looked at the plump creature.

　　"I have no problem with that," Lu Fei nodded with a smile.

　　But the small black dog was not agreeable.

　　As long as Jia Banxian gets close to it, it bares its teeth and barks nonstop.

　　It's unclear if it's still holding a grudge, but Jia Banxian had mentioned that black dog blood can be used for drawing talismans.

　　Jia Banxian tried many methods, but none of them could entice this round-headed little creature to stay.

　　"Tsk, you little thing! You're bonded to your owner! You look dumb on the surface, but you're actually quite smart! If you don't want to, I don't care either!"

　　In the end, Jia Banxian was so angry that he flung his sleeves in frustration.

　　"Senior, if you really like it, I can buy a dog and give it to you," Lu Fei said with some regret.

　　"This kind of Five Black Dog is rare to come by! Forget it, finding a pet is all about fate. I'll go find another one myself. I will definitely find one that will wholeheartedly recognize me as its master!" Jia Banxian said angrily.

　　"Of course, Senior will definitely find a better one." Lu Fei couldn't help but smile, and then asked more about the Mystic Gate Association.

　　"Do you want to join the Lingyin Society?" Jia Banxian looked at him.

　　"Not entirely, mainly I want to meet more people, which would be good for business at Sinisterium Pawnshop," Lu Fei said.

　　"You need a referral to join the Lingyin Association. You might as well try your luck at Sanwei Teahouse and see if anyone is willing to take you in."

　　"Alright."

　　Lu Fei sat with Master Jia until it got dark, and only returned to the pawnshop after dinner.

　　The next day, he went to Sanwei Teahouse.

　　But strangely, the teahouse was closed, with a sign at the door that said, 'Out for some business, will be away for a few days.'

　　"What bad timing?"

　　Lu Fei could only return home, and no matter how anxious he was, he had to wait until Sister Hong came back.

　　After that.

　　Lu Fei enjoyed a rare period of leisure for a few days.

　　Time seemed to return to the past, with no customers visiting. He didn't have to stay up late or get up early, and he could sleep in every day."

　　The difference was that while Tiger did the odd jobs around the shop, all he had to do was brew tea and play with the dog.

　　However, Lu Fei had sent a message to Jing Jian, asking about his progress in absorbing the inner core, but Jing Jian didn't reply. He didn't know if he was in seclusion.

　　So he didn't disturb him further and waited patiently.

　　Life was leisurely and carefree.

　　With nothing much to do, Lu Fei checked his account and was quite surprised.

　　Unbeknownst to him, he had already earned several million yuan.

　　His grandfather was right; there was never any worry about money in this line of work.

　　But his grandfather had always lived very frugally, and Lu Fei had also become accustomed to this lifestyle, so he didn't spend much money on a regular basis.

　　After some consideration, he thought he should buy a car.

　　Not for anything else, just to make it more convenient when he went out to collect evil objects.

　　So, taking advantage of the free days, Lu Fei went to pick up a high-performance SUV.

　　Sedans definitely wouldn't be suitable for collecting evil objects in the mountains and waters.

　　When the car was brought back, Hu Zi was even more excited than Lu Fei, polishing it three times a day.

　　That day, Hu Zi picked up his bucket and was about to go out to clean the car again.

　　Liu Fugui dashed into the Sinisterium Pawnshop, nearly colliding with him head-on.

　　"Old Liu, don't you have eyes when you walk?" Hu Zi was very angry.

　　But Liu Fugui ignored him and rushed straight to the counter, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Oh no, oh no! Brother Xiao Lu, something happened to President Zhou Yuyang!"

　　"What is it?" Lu Fei put down his phone and looked up.

　　"He had a car accident and has been in the hospital for several days before regaining consciousness. The first thing he did when he woke up was to find his phone and call me, asking me to invite you over."

　　Liu Fugui's eyes were wide open.

　　"He said his girlfriend is trying to kill him! The car accident was all because of her!"

　　"Is he for real, does he have any evidence?" Lu Fei was also taken aback.

　　"He didn't say much on the phone, just kept pleading with me to save his life!"

　　Liu Fugui wiped the sweat from his forehead.

　　"I knew this matter wasn't simple, but I didn't expect his girlfriend would be so ruthless, going straight for his life!"

　　"Brother Xiao Lu, he said his girlfriend put something on him, and that thing caused the car accident."
