Chapter 57 Discipline
"Is this the legendary Midas touch?"
Brother and sister-in-law Wu Qingping is very knowledgeable. She can see this kind of magic that the legendary immortals can do at a glance, and she said with a bit of surprise in her eyes.
"Erlang, you've been gone for three years, won't you become an immortal?"
The eldest brother Chen Wenqing said in surprise from the side.
"Yes, it's the Midas touch."
Chen Yuan nodded and admitted.
Then he looked at his eldest brother Chen Wenqing:
"I have some cultivation, but it's still early to become an immortal."
Brother-in-law Wu Qingping and eldest brother Chen Wenqing looked at each other in confusion.
Only then did they realize that they had really underestimated the young brother and uncle in front of them.
During these three years of separation, the other party's encounters and experiences are probably beyond their imagination.
In order to make sure that the stone in Chen Yuan's hand has turned into real gold and is not an illusion trick in the world.
Chen Wenqing took the fist-sized piece of gold from Chen Yuan. He held it in front of his eyes and carefully examined it, observing the color, weight, and luster of the gold...
He owns his own shop and has seen gold, although not many times, but he has the ability to distinguish between real and fake gold.
Finally, an incredible result was obtained.
The gold that Chen Yuan had just turned from a stone turned out to be real, not some magic trick or magic trick.
"Erlang, you have such abilities and you still say you are not an immortal!"
Brother Chen Wenqing smiled bitterly.
Even if his younger brother is not an immortal, he is probably not far away from becoming an immortal just because he can turn stone into gold.
"Uncle, if you have such skills, won't you never be short of money in your life?"
Brother and sister-in-law Wu Qingping said in surprise from the side.
Chen Yuan shook his head: "This technique has disadvantages. If used frequently, it will make the user's luck worse. I don't use it often."
As he spoke, he casually removed the spell, and the fist-sized piece of gold in Chen Wenqing's hand turned back into stone.
Seeing the fist-sized gold in his hand turn into stones again, Chen Wenqing's face was filled with regret.
This fist-sized piece of gold is a huge sum of money.
Brother-in-law Wu Qingping felt that she heard the hidden meaning of Chen Yuan's words. She asked Chen Yuan: "So, does your uncle mean that this technique can only be used for emergencies?"
Chen Yuan shook his head:
"In fact, I have rarely used the Midas touch myself."
"I didn't understand before that Master taught me the Midas touch, but then I finally figured it out."
"Because this technique has drawbacks, the master taught me this technique, which is equivalent to giving me an invisible commandment, which is to restrain greed in my heart. If I use this technique, it is equivalent to opening up the greed in my heart.
If there is one desire, there will be two, and if there are two, there will be three. If there are too many desires, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve immortality."
This is why Chen Yuan only recently figured out why his master, Lu Yan, did not teach him other spells but only taught him the Midas Touch.
Fortunately, except for the time when he gave it to the owner of a cake shop, he had never used the Midas touch on himself.
After this period of study and exploration in his spare time, Chen Yuan has completed the modification of this Midas touch.
If he casts the Midas spell, he can change the luck consumed by the caster to the recipient.
In this case, the Midas touch is not just a magic that has little effect and can only be used for viewing.
Rather, it is a spell that can truly be used against enemies and is extremely powerful.
If used properly, the power of this Midas touch will be no less powerful than any legendary immortal spell.
Wu Qingping and Chen Wenqing are not practitioners. They only have a partial understanding of the meaning of Chen Yuan's words, but they know how powerful their younger brother is.
At the same time, they also knew that using the Midas touch seemed to have disadvantages for Chen Yuan.
This made Chen Wenqing immediately give up the idea of asking Chen Yuan to help him turn two pieces of gold.
At the urging of his brother and sister-in-law Wu Qingping, Chen Wenqing threw away the stone in his hand and the family sat on the stone table and benches under the big pear tree to eat.
However, during the meal, Chen Wenqing looked at his younger brother with a very complicated expression.
Now that I think about it, the white rat who was very humane just came to the door with money to repay his kindness. I'm afraid it was also because of the magical power of his younger brother, right?
Otherwise, why has this unbelievable thing never happened to him or others around him?
Before he knew it, his little brother had already grown up to the point where he didn't need to worry about his older brother at all.
This made Chen Wenqing feel very complicated for a while.
After taking a few bites, Chen Wenqing felt something was wrong in the bowl. The rice in the bowl was actually sweeter than before.
Chen Wenqing looked down and realized that the rice in the bowl was not corn but rice.
"Qingping, where did this rice come from?"
Chen Wenqing said in surprise.
Given his family's economic conditions, he rarely eats rice.
"My uncle just brought this back."
Wu Qingping said truthfully.
"Eat it with confidence, brother. You can only eat this rice a few times a year. I just moved into a new house, and I promised to help deliver a message on the road and earned a lot of money, so I was willing to buy rice once.
."
Seeing his brother Chen Wenqing asking, Chen Yuan said from the side.
Chen Wenqing thought of how he had just argued with his younger brother because he said he wanted to help him, and for a moment he felt quite uncomfortable.
But the rice in the bowl was really sweet, and the dishes cooked by his wife were also very tasty, so he ate two bowls in a row before giving up.
Next to her, Xiuxiu, after getting tired of playing with the white mice, was also called by Wu Qingping to eat at the stone table.
Seeing that Chen Yuan and others were eating, the mouse was a little bored in the yard for a while. After it walked around in the yard several times, it finally walked behind Chen Yuan and looked at Chen Yuan expectantly.
Chen Yuan had been paying attention to the movements of the white mouse, and when the other party came over and looked at him expectantly.
He got up and went to the kitchen to find a broken bowl, filled half a bowl of food for the white mouse, picked up a few pieces of chicken, and placed it on the ground.
Suddenly the little white mouse started eating happily.
"Uncle, this white rat knows how to repay kindness and is so spiritual. Could it be that he is a demon?"
After Wu Qingping finished eating, while looking after her daughter Xiuxiu to eat, she asked Chen Yuan next to her.
She also heard the conversation between Chen Yuan and her husband Chen Wenqing just now. After knowing the abilities of this uncle, she couldn't help but have doubts about this white rat who is very human.
"This white rat may be smarter than ordinary rats, but it is too early to say it is a demon."
Chen Yuan shook his head.
When he passed by Nanshi Mountain before, the God of Nanshi Mountain said that only monsters who have cultivated the elixir body, that is, the demon elixir realm, can speak like humans.
Monsters in the breath-eating realm can greatly increase their intelligence, get rid of their original animal nature of ignorance and relying on instinct, and have the ability to think like humans.
Judging from this, this white rat might actually be a rat demon.
Of course, it is also possible that he is just smarter and more humane.
Bang bang!
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
The restless Xiuxiu heard the noise, immediately got up, jumped off the stone bench, ran to the courtyard door and opened it.
A middle-aged policeman wearing soap clothes and carrying a long knife was standing outside the courtyard gate, holding two boxes of gifts in his hands. He was about to salute when he saw that the person who opened the door for him turned out to be a five or six-year-old man.
The girl was stunned for a moment.
"Who are you?"
A young Taoist sitting at a stone table under the pear tree in the yard attracted the attention of the middle-aged policeman.
Seeing this young Taoist, he looked carefully and after confirming that he was the person he was looking for, the middle-aged policeman looked happy and immediately entered the yard.
