Chapter 656 The Turmoil Caused by the Amulet
A month later, Li Moxie's house was finally renovated. During this time, Li Moxie would come back from time to time to check on the progress of the project. To his surprise, Ouyang Jiajia was more concerned about his own house than he was. This made Li Moxie feel quite embarrassed, because Ouyang Jiajia had been helping him oversee the renovation of his house.
Originally, Li Moxie didn't plan to have much contact with Ouyang Jiajia and the others, but after seeing how enthusiastic Ouyang Jiajia was, Li Moxie changed a lot and gradually got along very well with them.
However, Li Moxie was afraid of causing any misunderstanding for Wang Zhenzhen, so he told her in advance that he was already married, thus dispelling any thoughts they might have about him.
It wasn't that Li Moxie was narcissistic; it was mainly the way Wang Zhenzhen looked at him, and the way Ouyang Jiajia looked at him as if he were a son-in-law, that made Li Moxie feel uncomfortable. Rather than leaving things unclear later, it was better to explain his situation in advance.
So Li Moxie directly told them that he was already married, thus putting an end to their hopes.
Sure enough, after explaining the situation, although the two were somewhat disappointed, their attitudes became much more normal. Previously, when Wang Zhenzhen saw him, she would shyly lower her head, but after adjusting her emotions and changing her mindset, she was much more normal when facing him.
Li Moxie has officially moved into Jiajia Building. Under Li Moxie's financial offensive, his house was renovated very quickly, and new home appliances and furniture have already arrived.
Unlike the design style of this era, Li Moxie's house was a sight to behold for Ouyang Jiajia and Wang Zhenzhen.
If Ouyang Jiajia hadn't heard that Li Moxie spent millions on home renovations and appliances, she would have wanted to renovate her own house too.
In fact, Ouyang Jiajia is also a wealthy woman. After all, the entire Jiajia Building belongs to her. A small number of the apartments have been sold, but most of them are still rented out, and the rent alone brings in a considerable income every month.
Therefore, Ouyang Jiajia is definitely a hidden rich woman. If she wanted a better life, it was entirely possible for her. However, Wang Zhenzhen, whom she raised alone for so many years, was used to being frugal and extravagant, so she never thought about living a luxurious life.
If Li Moxie were an ordinary person, he would definitely try every means to win over Wang Zhenzhen. After all, a rich woman's money is quite tempting, and Wang Zhenzhen is also beautiful, so it would be a worthwhile way to make money off her.
However, this is just wishful thinking. Li Moxie doesn't need to live off women. Right now, money is just a string of numbers to him.
Over the course of the past month, people have come to him one after another to buy Buddhist artifacts.
At first, those people were skeptical, but when they discovered that Li Moxie's magical artifacts were truly amazing, Li Moxie's business began to improve.
The best thing he bought was a protective magic artifact, since it could withstand the next fatal attack. A shopkeeper had previously bought one of Li Moxie's protective magic artifacts with some skepticism.
He initially bought this amulet simply because he wanted to travel abroad and find some peace of mind. After all, he was going abroad to do business, and this business was related to whether his company could move forward. However, the place he was going to was somewhat chaotic, so he bought himself a talisman for protection and comfort.
Moreover, he felt that Li Moxie must have the confidence to charge one million for a talisman, so he gritted his teeth and bought it directly, just to have peace of mind. After all, once the deal was done, one million was just a drop in the bucket compared to the money he could earn.
What he didn't expect was that his trip would really go wrong. He was unlucky and happened to run into a gang fight, and he was caught up in the fight. Coincidentally, a grenade was thrown into his car at that time.
Just when he thought he was doomed, he saw with his own eyes that before the bomb exploded, a golden barrier appeared on the jade amulet around his neck, enveloping him completely. He watched as the bomb exploded in front of him, killing his driver, while he himself was unharmed.
He then realized how worthwhile his million dollars had been; this thing could truly save his life. Although the trip had been somewhat complicated, he still managed to secure a partnership, and the profits from this partnership were quite substantial. So, after returning to Hong Kong Island, he found Li Moxie again, bought two more amulets from him, and also helped promote Li Moxie's business.
After his friends learned about his experiences and their veracity, those wealthy people who were afraid of death also bought a lot of amulets from Li Moxie.
These amulets were all casually crafted by Li Moxie, and the crafting method was very simple. So Li Moxie didn't care; he would just give them to anyone who wanted them. The price was what it was, take it or leave it.
As for those who wanted to capture Li Moxie and obtain the crafting methods for these amulets directly from him, Li Moxie dealt with them casually.
After all, Li Moxie's actions affected the interests of many people. These wealthy individuals had private collaborations with members of the Xuanmen sect. At most, these Xuanmen members would buy these wealthy individuals some ordinary amulets, which could only ward off attacks from ghosts.
However, Li Moxie's talisman is too powerful; it can even defend against physical attacks, which makes many people envious of Li Moxie's crafting method.
So these people gathered together to deal with Li Moxie, forcing him to hand over the refining method. They even started making up stories that Li Moxie had stolen their sect's weapon-refining techniques. In short, all sorts of excuses came up, all in an attempt to get the method of refining protective talismans from Li Moxie.
Li Moxie didn't hold back with these people, directly crippling their insignificant cultivation levels and then severing their hands to prevent them from reaching for anything of value.
At first, some people condemned Li Moxie for being too ruthless, calling him a demonic cultivator or an evil cultivator. But every time someone tried to come forward, Li Moxie crippled them. Whenever someone brought up a new power, Li Moxie would simply cripple and destroy all the forces behind them, and then no one dared to come forward anymore.
After all, Li Moxie was a ruthless and powerful person who was simply beyond their ability to deal with. Even if they found people from the legitimate side to deal with him, the very next day, he would go to the Independent Commission Against Corruption and confess to his embezzlement. After that, no one dared to have any ideas about Li Moxie anymore, because anyone who did was ruined.
It was precisely because of Li Moxie that Ma Xiaoling, who was studying abroad in the original story, returned early. This was mainly because many of the Xuanmen members who were mobilized this time were crippled by Li Moxie, which resulted in a market opening up in Hong Kong. He Yingqiu in the original story was forced to return to the Jianghu, since business was coming to him and he had no choice but to take action.
Fortunately, Li Moxie wasn't one to kill without burying the dead; he also secretly dealt with many ghosts.
Li Moxie stopped attacking after Ma Xiaoling returned, since Ma Xiaoling could easily deal with these guys.
At this moment, inside He Yingqiu's arcade, Ma Xiaoling, who had just returned from abroad, complained somewhat irritably to Qiu Shu:
"Uncle Qiu! What happened that you called me back so urgently? I just submitted my graduation thesis and I still have to wait for my teacher to review it. After she reviews and settles the payment, I'll have to make another trip. You have to reimburse my airfare!"
Hearing Ma Xiaoling's complaint, He Yingqiu also said in an annoyed tone:
"You silly girl, after all these years, you're still as greedy as ever!"
"But you don't need to worry. Some time ago, I sensed that a major event happened in the Xuanmen here. Many of our former colleagues in the Xuanmen were crippled. Now, a large market for ghost-catching and demon-slaying services has opened up in Hong Kong. The few old guys who have survived are simply not enough to handle it."
"You're still young, which is the perfect time for you to get out and about and earn more money. There's an endless supply of business to be done on Hong Kong Island right now, and your chance to make a fortune has arrived."
Hearing Uncle Qiu say that, Ma Xiaoling's eyes lit up, but she quickly realized the key issue and said with some suspicion:
"Uncle Qiu, what's the story behind you saying that many of your colleagues have been crippled?"
"Could some terrible demon have appeared on Hong Kong Island?"
Hearing Ma Xiaoling's words, He Yingqiu said irritably:
"What kind of demons are these? It's all their own fault for being greedy and getting themselves into trouble."
"Uncle Qiu, what exactly happened? Tell me!"
Seeing Uncle Qiu's expression, Ma Xiaoling also became interested; she could tell at a glance that there was a story behind it.
After thinking for a moment, Uncle Qiu told Ma Xiaoling about all the recent events that had happened on Hong Kong Island.
Ma Xiaoling's mouth dropped open after hearing this, and she said in disbelief:
"Uncle Qiu, is this real? A talisman that can withstand bomb attacks? Does such a powerful talisman exist in this world? How come I've never heard you mention it before? Do you know how to make one?"
Hearing Ma Xiaoling's words, Uncle Qiu also said in an annoyed tone:
"If I knew how to refine it, do you think I'd still be running this arcade? I'd be rich by now!"
"You know, let alone me, even our ancestor Mao Xiaofang didn't have such abilities back then. But speaking of which, when I heard about such a powerful protective talisman, I specifically went to look it up."
"I actually found something. Back in the day, our main branch, Maoshan, had a senior crafter who could withstand physical attacks for this kind of amulet."
"I read in a book that the weapon-refining lineage of the Maoshan main branch used to be able to refine many powerful magical artifacts, including amulets that could truly protect one's life, as well as storage bags. However, many of these secret manuals were lost after the Japanese invasion."
"I suspect that the senior who can refine these magical artifacts might be a Maoshan senior who came from the mainland."
"I was afraid of being accidentally hurt, so when those guys went to find that senior, I didn't go. I don't know if my guess is right."
Hearing Uncle Qiu's fear of that person, Ma Xiaoling asked curiously:
"Uncle Qiu, you seem quite afraid of that person. Is he really that terrifying?"
Uncle Qiu said to Ma Xiaoling in an annoyed tone:
"What a question. He's taking on most of the Xuanmen masters in Hong Kong by himself. Don't even mention how many of them are incompetent. Just look at the few you remember who have names. Even if you summoned the Ma family's dragon, they could still completely subdue you if they were prepared."
"But that guy crippled everyone when they were well-prepared, and broke their hands. Later, they realized they couldn't handle him through private chat, so they planned to use the government's power. But the person they found went to the Independent Commission Against Corruption the very next day and exposed all his dirty secrets, which was tantamount to surrendering himself."
"Tell me, are you afraid of someone as formidable as him?"
Ma Xiaoling swallowed hard. Uncle Qiu had only said that he had chosen the Xuanmen sect, but he hadn't explained how he chose it. Now that she heard that he was facing the entire Xuanmen sect in Hong Kong all by himself, it was a bit outrageous.
Undeterred, Ma Xiaoling made several calls to a few friends she knew well, but all the numbers were no longer in service.
The call was finally answered when only one relatively unknown ghost-catching master remained. After some questioning, she realized that Uncle Qiu was not joking. The entire Xuanmen sect in Hong Kong had been basically crippled, and many had fled to the mainland.
Why flee? Mainly because these people have offended quite a few ghosts in Hong Kong. Some of these ghosts are too powerful and cunning. They have offended some of them to varying degrees. Now that they have no magic power left, staying would just mean waiting to die.
So it's better to go to the mainland, where the nation's fortunes are strong and ghosts dare not enter. That's why they all flock to the mainland for refuge.
Nowadays, only a handful of cats and kittens remain in the Xuanmen sect on Hong Kong Island.
However, there are also advantages. Now all those people in Hong Kong who would do anything for money have left. Those who remain are either like her friend, who have no real skills, or like Uncle Qiu, who are a breath of fresh air among metaphysicians.
This can be seen as a way of indirectly purifying the environment of Hong Kong Island.
However, Ma Xiaoling still asked out of curiosity:
"Uncle Qiu, that person is so amazing, do you know where he lives? Or have you seen what he looks like? I'm planning to get to know such a highly skilled senior!"
Thinking of the heavy responsibility her family bore, Ma Xiaoling felt that she might be able to unite with other experts to deal with the zombie king Jiang Chen in the future.
Uncle Qiu said somewhat awkwardly:
"I heard that the man was so ruthless, so I didn't dare to join in the fun, and that's why I don't know what he looks like."
"However, I heard that person is quite famous in the circles of wealthy people, as he buys some magical artifacts and amulets. You can ask him about it next time you get an order from these wealthy people."
