Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 222 - 222 222 Still Lurking with Covetous Eyes

?Chapter 222: Chapter 222 Still Lurking with Covetous Eyes Chapter 222: Chapter 222 Still Lurking with Covetous Eyes Lu Xun never boasted about her abilities with many words or examples.

Whether it was Feng Shui or healing, she had one attitude.

“I’ve offered the solution, regardless of how incredible it might seem—that’s the cure.”

It just depended on whether the other party believed or not.

If they believed, she would treat them; if they didn’t, she wouldn’t bother peddling her services.

Lu Xun’s words took both Yi Jun and Yi Lingfeng by surprise.

Seeing her confidence, it didn’t seem like she was bluffing or bragging.

After thinking for a moment, Yi Lingfeng asked, “Miss Luo, do you have any Nourishing Yuan Pills? Could you sell me enough for seven courses of treatment?”

Although he had long been indifferent to life and death, who wouldn’t want to live a few more decades?

Lu Xun shook her head, “I don’t have any on hand.”

“This needs to be tailored to your constitution and condition and crafted accordingly.”

“Since I promised Young Master Yi that I would treat you, I can certainly sell them to you and am responsible for curing you completely.”

“However, the ingredients needed for the Nourishing Yuan Elixir for your constitution, I don’t have; your family will need to find them.”

“Once you gather them, I can craft them into pills.”

“A crafting fee of ten million.” As long as she had the ingredients, crafting them wasn’t difficult.

The key to the ten million fee was in the recipe and the effectiveness of treatment.

In this world, only she could craft such Nourishing Yuan Pills, after all, she learned it in that Little World where everyone practiced Mysticism.

Money was just a number to Yi Lingfeng; he didn’t work hard just to make money, but rather to use money to create what he saw as meaningful value.

Of course, he also wanted to repay his family for their many years of unwavering, meticulous care.

He said, “Money is not an issue; please write me a list of the ingredients I’ll need to find.”

Lu Xun took paper and pen from him and wrote a list, which she handed to him.

Yi Lingfeng looked at the list and his first impression was that Lu Xun’s handwriting was truly good.

In total, there were only eleven types of ingredients on the list, but each type was required to be at least seventy years old, which would be quite difficult to find.

No wonder she didn’t have them on hand.

He carefully put the paper away and said, “I will gather the ingredients and deliver them to you as soon as possible.”

Lu Xun knew that the Yi Family had a large industry and finding these aged ingredients wouldn’t be a problem; it just depended on how long it would take.

After seeing the issue of the medicine resolved, Yi Jun remembered the matter of the amulet.

“Little Ningning, what about the amulet then? Could you give my uncle one first?”

“The price is negotiable,” he added.

Lu Xun glanced at him, “I’ve always done business with clear, fixed pricing, fair to both young and old, I certainly wouldn’t jack up the price last minute to swindle money.”

She had already decided to sell the Jade Talisman at twenty million, the same for anyone as it was truly worth that price.

Hearing her say this, Yi Jun immediately laughed, “Of course, we absolutely trust your reputation and character.”

He actually wanted to pressure her into raising the price and then get one for his uncle first, but she wasn’t obliging.

Normally, he would have dismissed the matter and not bothered.

Now, however, he couldn’t act on a whim and had to keep smiling warmly.

Only then did Lu Xun nod, “I haven’t finished nurturing the Jade Talisman, I really don’t have one on hand right now.”

Seeing the disappointed look on the faces of Yi Jun and his companion, she shifted her tone and added, “However, considering his special circumstances, I can draw a nourishing talisman for him to wear.”

“In three days, he’ll be able to go out as a normal person and won’t suffer from illness again.”

“Just because the talisman can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause, once it’s not worn, lost, or damaged, the body will revert to its original state, and medication still needs to be taken.”

Yi Jun instantly breathed a sigh of relief but couldn’t contain his curiosity and asked, “Little Ningning, does this nourishing talisman have the same effects as the amulet Ji Er had before?”

“My little uncle has been in two car accidents.”

One time he didn’t have the jade and was seriously injured, taking a month in the hospital to recover.

Another time, because he had the jade, it blocked a disaster for him, and he only suffered superficial injuries.

He was truly afraid that his little uncle might carelessly get into another car accident or encounter some other kind of accident.

Having seen the effect of the amulet on Ji Jiayi’s body, he blindly trusted these talismans.

Luo Ning couldn’t help but laugh, “You’re treating the amulet like it’s as common as cabbage; drawing one takes a lot of spiritual energy, and I need a long time to recover.”

Of course, that was just to beguile him; the previous night, Lu Xun had talked to her on the phone, reminding her that someone from above might have taken notice of the amulet she drew for Ji Jiayi.

So she decided to keep a low profile, at least not creating any more talismans of that effect.

In fact, if it weren’t to prevent Ji Jiayi from passing his good fortune to Bo Xiangxiang, she wouldn’t have gone out of her way to draw such a powerful amulet for him.

Otherwise, if it couldn’t stop a bullet, he might very well end up being picked up by Bo Xiangxiang again.

“I know what you’re worried about.”

Luo Ning paused before saying, “The car accidents your little uncle suffered from were actually somewhat related to his cold constitution.”

“My talisman can suppress his constitution, so naturally, it can also avoid these accidents.”

“Don’t worry. I see that your little uncle’s luck has been pretty good lately; nothing bad will happen for the time being.”

She added, “After the Jade Talisman is properly nurtured, I’ll give him one to wear.”

This reassurance indeed put Yi Jun at ease, “That’s good then. Little Ningning, you must remember to reserve one for my little uncle.”

Then, rubbing his hands together while smiling, he said, “Of course, if there are any spares, you could also sell me one or two.”

If there were any to spare, he wanted to get one for the old man, hoping he would live a long and healthy life.

And if there were more left over, he’d claim one for himself.

As for his parents and siblings, he honestly couldn’t help much; after all, it wasn’t a lack of something but rather an unequal distribution that was troublesome.

Unless Luo Ning had a lot of surplus, he would reluctantly spend the money to buy a few more, but that seemed impossible.

Besides, apart from himself, his buddies were still watching eagerly.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Ji Jiayi said, “You’re treating the amulet like it’s common as cabbage, thinking there’s surplus to sell you one or two; you’re wishing for too much.”

“I’ve placed my order before you; given Young Master Yi’s special circumstances, we don’t mind letting one go, but you’ll have to wait your turn.”

After saying that, he looked at Luo Ning and winked, “Right, Little Ningning?”

Luo Ning: “…” This guy might just have a talent for comedy.

She said, “Let’s wait until they’re nurtured before discussing, having two each is absolutely impossible.”

Speaking of that, she needed to find some time to look for an auspicious land to nurture the jade accessories.

Yi Lingfeng was rather indifferent; as long as his body could be healed, he would be satisfied.

“I’m not insisting; it depends on whether it’s convenient for Miss Luo or not.”

Luo Ning could see that his mindset was good, he seemed content and at peace.

No wonder, having acquired such a cold constitution, he could still live safely to this day.

If he had a bad temperament, liked to complain, was eager for quick success, or had a strong aggressive energy, he’d probably not live past thirty.

Her impression of Yi Lingfeng improved even more, “I can give you one; although your body can be completely cured, after all thirty years of damage, there are bound to be some residual effects.”

“If you wear a Jade Talisman for a long time, it will benefit your body, and any residual issues should slowly disappear.”

Yi Lingfeng smiled and said, “Then I’ll thank Miss Luo in advance.”
