Traveling through time and space to become the richest woman and falling in love with the young mast
Chapter 8 Little Mushroom Cloud
Seeing that there was no more fighting here, the waiter carefully brought over the tea and cakes.
Dongfang Qingshui had lost interest and looked at Dongfang Qingmo and asked, "Are you still going to eat? If not, let's go back..."
Dongfang Qingmo quickly sat down again, nodded, and said, "Eat, of course you won't. We finally get to go out and have fun, so of course we have to enjoy ourselves."
She picked up a piece of cake and put it in her mouth. It tasted really good.
"Brother, can you tell me about Xu Jun?" Dongfang Qingmo suddenly became curious about Xu Jun.
Dongfang Qingshui's eyes were a little wandering, and he was not willing to talk about this topic. "What did he do? He's a reckless man practicing martial arts, a pervert wearing short sleeves."
"Well……"
Dongfang Qingmo frowned slightly.
Then I'll send someone to inquire myself.
"Eat, eating can't stop your mouth!"
Since Dongfang Qingshui was unwilling to tell her, she didn't ask any further.
Just now she seemed to hear some kind of martial arts competition or something.
So, she asked curiously, "What is a sect competition?"
Dongfang Qingshui shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. He wasn't interested in these things, so naturally he hadn't tried to understand them.
At this time, Yun Mei, who was standing by, seemed to have heard something and said, "Young Master, it's just a competition between the three major sects..."
Although this is a kind of competition, in fact it is just a desire to compete with each other.
Hearing this, Dongfang Qingmo immediately became interested and hurriedly urged, "Oh? Tell me quickly?"
Yunmei and Dahua explained to Dongfang Qingmo one after another.
It turns out that the so-called Wulin Conference is actually a martial arts competition held every three years by the three major sects. This event also has a special feature: there is a top ten ranking list. Every time this happens, the ranking list is refreshed.
After listening, Dongfang Qingmo suddenly became very interested in this competition.
She thought it would be very interesting to witness such a fierce competition in person.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but say excitedly: "I really want to see it!"
"Don't even think about it. Your parents will definitely not let you go!" Dongfang Qingshui shook her head. She knew very well that her parents would never agree to let her be among men.
“…” Dongfang Qingmo bit her lip, said nothing, and just ate the cakes in silence.
After listening to the book for an hour, they strolled around the street again. Dongfang Qingmo picked out the ugliest alchemy furnace in the sundry shop.
"Mo'er, are you serious? Are you really going to make medicine? And this one is so ugly!" Dongfang Qingshui was very surprised, wondering if his previous words had hit her hard?
"What do you know!" Dongfang Qingmo rolled his eyes at her and thought to himself, this is how it's played out in novels, those most inconspicuous and ugliest alchemy furnaces can often produce magical artifacts when they explode!
Dongfang Qingshui couldn't understand her thoughts at all and retorted, "I don't understand. Our family is so rich, we wouldn't buy something this awful, right?!"
"I like this." Dongfang Qingmo insisted.
"Okay, okay, as long as you like it." Dongfang Qingshui sighed helplessly, indicating compromise.
Dongfang Qingmo reached out and touched the surface of the stove, feeling a warm breath.
She turned around and asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, how much is this stove?"
When the shopkeeper saw Dongfang Qingmo asking about the price, a cunning gleam flashed in his eyes.
He said mysteriously, "Sir, you have a good eye. Although this stove looks inconspicuous, it is passed down from my ancestors and is very valuable!" As he spoke, the shopkeeper stretched out his hand and gestured a number.
Dongfang Qingmo secretly wondered what the number was. After a moment's thought, she tentatively asked, "Fifty taels?"
In fact, she originally wanted to say five hundred taels, but she felt that this would seem too hasty.
Since the shop owner said it was an heirloom right from the start, she would let him raise the price slowly.
When the shopkeeper heard Dongfang Qingmo's offer, he showed a hint of surprise in his eyes. He was secretly happy, thinking that he was really lucky today to meet such a sweet girl.
He almost nodded in agreement.
However, at this moment, Dongfang Qingshui suddenly interrupted and said, "What nonsense! I won't even buy five taels. Two taels at most. If you don't want to sell it, forget it."
Dongfang Qingshui has been taken by Dongfang Qiong to do business since he was a child, and he can tell at a glance that the store owner has bad intentions.
If you want to kill them, wait for your next life.
Dongfang Qingmo blinked. His brother was so ruthless that he lowered the price so much in one go.
When the shopkeeper heard Dongfang Qingshui's words, his expression changed slightly.
He realized that his performance just now might be a little too obvious and was seen through by the other party.
But he didn't want to give up the deal, so he quickly said, "Okay, deal."
He bought this broken stove from a kiln for twenty copper coins. It has been on display in his shop for a year, but no one has shown interest in it.
Now it can be sold for two taels of silver, and he can earn dozens of times more!
Dongfang Qingmo was stunned.
Dongfang Qingshui also gave the silver very happily.
This is this...
It seems that this boss thinks I'm a fool!
She felt unbalanced.
She naively believed what the boss said about it being an heirloom!
Dongfang Qingshui paid the money and raised his eyebrows at her.
It seems to be saying: See, if it weren’t for me, you would be a sucker.
Although Dongfang Qingmo was unhappy, he still gave him a thumbs up.
Dahua was responsible for taking the stove to the carriage.
Dongfang Qingmo bought what he wanted and returned home satisfied.
Yunmei and Dahua placed the items they had bought on the table. Dongfang Qingmo smiled, examining everything with satisfaction. He picked up an introductory book on alchemy and began to flip through it.
"Hemostatic pills?" Dongfang Qingmo carefully studied the recipe and muttered to himself, "Let me practice with this!"
Then she turned to look at Dahua and ordered, "Dahua, ask Qingliu to buy these things." She pointed at the words in the book.
Since Qingliu is a little older, she has some experience and knowledge about the use of silver and purchasing items, so it is safer to entrust this matter to her.
"Yes." Dahua replied, then turned and left.
Not long after, Qingliu happily went out with a hundred taels of silver and books.
After a while, she successfully bought all the items she needed.
Afterwards, Dongfang Qingmo had someone set up a fire rack in the yard, and put various materials into the alchemy furnace one by one according to the instructions in the book.
She waited quietly, looking forward to the result.
During this period, Dongfang Qingshui and Yu Jing came here together.
Yu Jing asked curiously: "Mo'er, what are you doing?"
Dongfang Qingmo smiled and replied, "Mother, I'm refining hemostatic pills!"
Dongfang Qingshui looked at the dusty stove and couldn't help but frown. "Will this thing really work? Why does it feel unreliable to me?"
The furnace looked so shabby that it was hard to believe it could produce anything good.
However, Dongfang Qingmo answered confidently: "Don't worry, it will definitely work! I followed the instructions in the book strictly."
Yu Jing asked curiously, "How long will it take to find out the results?"
Dongfang Qingmo flipped through the book carefully, then glanced at the burning incense in the incense burner and said, "Hmm...it will probably take a while. Burn it on high heat for one stick of incense, and then use low heat for two sticks of incense. That should be enough."
Dongfang Qingshui said in surprise: "So long?"
Dongfang Qingmo patiently explained, "We need to fully stimulate the medicinal properties, so we need enough time. This is not like cooking, we can't be impatient."
As time slowly passed, the sun gradually set and night fell.
In the yard, lanterns were lit, and the soft light illuminated the surroundings. Although it was not as convenient as electric lights, at least the whole yard became brighter.
Dongfang Qingmo asked Yu Jing and Dongfang Qingshui to go eat first, but they were unwilling to leave and insisted on staying here to witness the final results.
Finally, even Dongfang Qiong and Dongfang Ti heard the noise and rushed over, waiting together.
"Daddy, Second Uncle."
Dongfang Qiong: "What's this, Mo'er?"
Dongfang Qingshui: "Dad, she is refining medicine!"
Dongfang Ti: "Refine medicine?"
Yu Jing pointed to the last stick of incense, which was only a quarter of the way through. “It’s almost done.”
Everyone held their breath and watched the incense burn out bit by bit.
Dongfang Qingmo let out a breath, rubbed his hands, and prepared to go forward and lift the lid.
Dongfang Qiong stopped him, "Mo'er, don't go."
Dongfang Qingmo hesitated, she wanted to witness this historic moment.
Her gray medicine furnace is about to transform into a divine artifact.
"what?"
Dongfang Qiong always felt that something was wrong. "Let Yunmei go. The medicine furnace is hot. Don't burn it."
"Daddy, let me go!" Dongfang Qingshui volunteered, "I have thick skin and strong muscles."
"Okay, you go."
"..."
So straightforward, they are not biological children!
Dongfang Qingshui looked at Dongfang Qiong with resentment, but still walked over carefully, fearing that he would get burned accidentally.
He reached out his hands, grasped the edge of the lid, and gently lifted it up.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the small medicine furnace, expecting some amazing changes in it.
However, when the lid was completely opened, they saw a jaw-dropping sight -
With a deafening roar, a blazing fire gushed out like a volcanic eruption, rushing straight into the sky, like a fire dragon soaring into the sky, magnificent and imposing.
Immediately afterwards, a small mushroom cloud slowly bloomed in the sky, like a blooming flower, so beautiful.
However, this beautiful scene brought a disaster to Dongfang Qingshui.
The flames mercilessly burned her front curtain to ashes. If Dongfang Ti had not been quick to pull him aside, he would have been engulfed in the sea of fire, not even his hair would have been spared.
Yunmei also protected Dongfang Qingmo behind her.
The air was filled with the strong smell of burning feathers, which was pungent, unpleasant and nauseating.
Dongfang Qingmo was stunned and couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes.
Things seemed to develop in a completely different way from what she had imagined, leaving her feeling extremely confused.
what happened?
Doesn’t she have any golden fingers at all? ! !
Is she a useless female supporting role?! ! ! !
Ah!
She didn't want to believe the result.
Dongfang Ti asked with concern, "Qingshui, are you okay? Are you injured?"
Dongfang Qingmo also looked at him worriedly, "Brother, are you okay?!"
Dongfang Qingshui shook his head slightly, indicating that he was fine.
"Fortunately, it wasn't Mo'er who was injured."
Dongfang Qingshui was very dissatisfied, "Dad!!!"
At this time, Yu Jing pointed at Dongfang Qingshui and said distressedly: "Qingshui, your hair!!!"
Only then did everyone realize that Dongfang Qingshui's face was now black, his hair had become dry and yellow, and he looked in a miserable state.
Dongfang Qingmo was so frightened that he couldn't say a word and could only watch silently.
After some concern, everyone decided to go to the medicine furnace to find out what was going on.
When they walked to the medicine furnace, they saw a horrific scene - the entire interior of the furnace was pitch black, with signs of burning everywhere. A big hole was blown out in the bottom of the furnace, which should have been intact, and the ground was charred. People couldn't help but sigh at the power of the explosion.
Dongfang Qingmo scratched the back of his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Uh... maybe it's because I don't have the talent... I hurt my brother..."
Hearing this, Yu Jing quickly patted Dongfang Qingmo's hand and comforted him, "If you fail once, there's always a second time!"
Dongfang Qingshui on the side showed a look of horror.
He had completely miscalculated this time, and he secretly made up his mind that he would never come again next time.
Dongfang Qiong couldn't bear to see his daughter so disappointed, so he waved his hand and said proudly, "Mo'er, don't be discouraged. Dad will send someone out to buy the best stove for you to practice on!"
No one in the family knew how to make medicine. Mo'er had a sudden idea, and they couldn't give any objections, so they could only satisfy her materially.
However, Dongfang Qingmo's sense of belief had been completely eroded. She said dejectedly, "No need, Daddy... I just feel so useless. I can't do anything right."
Seeing her like this, Dongfang Ti felt distressed and quickly said, "How could that be? Uncle will go buy it right away! Let's practice again!"
Dongfang Qingmo shook her head to refuse: "I'm really fine." At this moment, she just wanted to be alone and think about what went wrong with her.
"What about dinner?" Yu Jing asked with concern.
"Mom, if I get hungry later, I'll ask the kitchen to send it over." Dongfang Qingmo replied.
Yu Jing nodded helplessly and agreed: "Okay then..."
Everyone looked at her bewildered expression and shook their heads, thinking that this blow might be really too much for her.
After finally sending everyone away, Dongfang Qingmo stood there quietly, holding the medicine book tightly in his hand, and began to review it carefully.
"This shouldn't be the case. What went wrong?!" she muttered to herself, frowning and looking confused.
She carefully reviewed the steps in the book over and over again, but still couldn't find the problem.
Just then, Qingliu walked over cautiously from the side.
