A wealthy person with a reading panel

Chapter 65: The Power of My Thoughts! (Please Read More)

After Li Wanxiu hung up the phone, she spent three seconds thinking about whether to ask Zhou Qing, but after three seconds, she was sure that she didn't care about it, and then she devoted herself to her work again.

Zhangshuwu Community, sixth floor.

Zhou Qing was also reading intently.

Wukong said, "There is no Six-Eared here. I am the only disciple. I hope Master will be merciful and teach me the way to immortality. I will never forget your kindness!"

......"

The ancestor said, "The secret of perfect enlightenment in both exoteric and esoteric Buddhism is truly profound, but unfortunately, there is no secret to cultivate one's nature and life. It all comes down to essence, energy, and spirit. Carefully conceal it and do not let it leak out. Do not let it leak out, store it within your body. You will flourish as I teach you... Intertwined, your nature and life are strong, yet you can plant a golden lotus in fire. Gather the five elements and use them in reverse. When you have mastered the technique, you will become a Buddha or an immortal."

At this point, the root cause was revealed, and Wukong was enlightened, and he memorized the formula earnestly...]

When I read the middle of the second chapter of "Journey to the West", I saw Monkey King figure out the mystery of the "three chestnuts" on the master's plate, and came to the master's room in the middle of the night to learn the great truth. I was so envious.

"This is the legendary, top-level cultivation technique, the 'Great Celestial Art.' Monkey King is a genius. He cultivated this technique and in just three years, he achieved an impervious immortal body. Building on this foundation, he also mastered the Seventy-Two Transformations and the Somersault Cloud. From then on, he wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace and became unstoppable."

"What an awesome technique, awesome Monkey Brother!"

He read this passage three times and thought regretfully: What a pity that it is an oral method, without any pictures or texts, and no physical objects. It is not... at least not within the range that can be drawn for the time being. Alas, otherwise I would get it even if I had to draw it ten thousand times!

"But it doesn't matter. There are many novels that have cultivation techniques, including classical ones. I remember that in 'Ping Yao Zhuan', originally written by Luo Guanzhong and supplemented and adapted by Feng Menglong, there appeared a secret manual called 'Ruyi Ce' that included the 'Seventy-two Transformations'."

This is information Zhou Qing knew when he was in his second year of high school.

At that time, when we were learning the text "Du Shiniang Sinks the Treasure Box in Anger", Teacher Bai told us an interesting story about the author Feng Menglong. He and Luo Guanzhong, the author of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", collaborated across time and space to create a work that had a great influence on "Journey to the West" - "Suppressing the Demons".

The settings in the heavenly book "Ruyi Ce" in "Pingyao Zhuan" related to the seventy-two transformations, paper figurines turning into soldiers, etc., directly influenced another one of the four great classics, "Journey to the West"!
It involved two of the four great classics, so Zhou Qing always remembered this matter.

He suddenly thought, it would be nice if he could choose the novels to read on his own.

"In this way, I can try to choose novels with many physical secret books and various treasures to read through."

"When you do your intensive reading later, you can try to pick these books."

Zhou Qing thought about it, called out the panel, focused his attention, and became confused.

The panel quickly gave feedback: it was not possible to choose a specific novel to read, but the panel was created based on his own "desire", so he could give a psychological hint about the type of novel before choosing, and there was a certain probability that he would randomly select the type he wanted.

"For the panel, 'I wonder' works."

He smiled and decided that when he was going to read for the third time, before making any choice, he would mentally suggest to himself that "I hope it's a martial arts novel or a fairy tale novel" or "I hope it's a classical fantasy novel"!

"But before that, I'll have to finish reading Journey to the West carefully. All the accumulation from the second round must finally bear fruit on this final reading. Even if it's just a few dry branches and leaves from a fairy cave, it might be a panacea for a mortal like me!"

Zhou Qing has many fantasies in his mind.

But I was afraid of being disappointed if I didn’t get anything good, so I kept telling myself: Even if I don’t get the expected good things, I should treat it with a normal mind. If it doesn’t work this time, I can try again in the next round or the next round by accumulating ten books.

Lin Jiao's cousin, the real estate agent Zeng Ming, was a little slow the second time around. An hour passed before he finally sent over two listings. "Mr. Zhou, please take a look at these two first. It's really late tonight, and I'm not sure if you'll be free tomorrow. If that's convenient, my colleagues and I can sort out all the best riverside luxury homes in Tanzhou and show them to you in person."

He'd previously only handled ordinary residential sales. While every real estate consultant in the company could sell a property, with a share of the profits going to the colleagues who uploaded and maintained the listings, he had no idea how to sell luxury homes, so he'd urgently contacted a colleague with experience in that area. His colleague had also taught him how to send this text message.

In the words of his colleague, when it comes to buying luxury homes, a professional face-to-face introduction has a success rate of at least 50% higher than posting property information online!

Zhou Qing heard the notification sound on his phone. After he finished reading the entire paragraph, he took it out, unlocked it and checked it.

He thought for a moment and replied in voice: "Okay, then you should prepare more houses. If I see one that I like, I will go directly to see the house."

"Okay, Mr. Zhou, where should we find you?"

"I have something to do tomorrow morning. I'll send you the location then, okay?"

"Of course no problem, I'll wait for your message tomorrow."

Zhou Qing put down his phone and immersed himself in reading and studying again, working until 1:30 in the morning before going to bed.

The next morning I was woken up by the alarm clock at eight o'clock.

I went out to eat some Hangzhou Xiaolongbao and came back to continue reading.

Just after nine o'clock, I received a WeChat message from Lin Jiao. After going downstairs, I took her car and went with her to Rongdonghai Community, two kilometers away.

The house was the same as the one in the photo I saw last night, a 40-square-meter apartment with one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. Although the layout was similar to the house he lived in now, each space was much larger and the decoration was better, which was the difference between the "beggar's version" and the "luxury version".

The two signed a new three-month rental contract on the spot.

Lin Jiao drove him back to the camphor tree house and moved the remaining luggage over.

He didn't have much stuff. A lot of his luggage from college was thrown away. The most stuff he had now was the paper books he bought this month, which directly filled up the two seats in the back row.

After moving to Rongdonghai Community, the first thing Zhou Qing did was to clear the old password of the door password lock and set a new password.

Then he sent a message to Zeng Ming, asking him to meet him in a teahouse in Wanbohui.

Eleven o'clock in the morning.

Zhou Qing first took a taxi to the intersection of Shaoshan Middle Road and Xinjian East Road, then walked to a teahouse inside Wanbohui, walked in, and ordered a pot of jasmine tea in a private seat.

After a while, Zeng Ming arrived.

This boy is only about 1.65 meters tall, has a crew cut, is a bit fat, and looks nothing like his cousin Lin Jiao.

What surprised Zhou Qing even more was that the female colleague who came with him was very tall, at least 1.75 meters, and very thin. She looked unattractive in her professional attire and black stockings, which only showed off her figure.

One is short and fat, the other is tall and thin, one is a woman and the other is a man, forming a sharp contrast.

The three of them looked at many houses in the teahouse, and in the afternoon they went to five or six real estate projects with large flats with river views for on-site inspections. After a round of visits, Zhou Qing successfully found a house that made him excited.

First of all, this apartment has a beautiful river view.
