You only see how quickly I make money, but you don’t know how fast I spend money.

Qin Yanxi was confused by Su Chen's words because she didn't know where Su Chen needed to spend money.

"You came from a martial arts family, so you should know the meaning of the saying "poor literature and wealthy martial arts."

"Of course I know the meaning of this sentence. It is not that easy to learn martial arts. I have to work hard since I was a child. If I don't have enough nutrition and tonics to keep up, it will only be a waste of my body."

Although Qin Yanxi did not practice martial arts herself, her family was all from martial arts, especially those brothers and younger brothers who were of the same generation, who grew up soaking in medicine jars since childhood.

These medicinal liquids are not cheap to prepare. Many of them are expensive Chinese medicine supplements. It is no exaggeration to say that to cultivate a martial artist who can enter the house, it will cost at least hundreds of thousands of medicinal materials.

"It costs money to practice martial arts. Do you think that practicing is not money? The resources required for cultivation are a bottomless pit, and no matter how much money you have, it is not enough."

Seeing that Qin Yanxi seemed a little disbelief, Su Chen explained in detail: "Practicing martial arts depends on medicinal food and medicinal liquid to make up for the damage caused by excessive use of the body. Although our practice will not damage the body, if we want to improve our cultivation, we must have resources to pile up. Take magic tools as an example. The most ordinary magic weapon has a market price of more than seven digits."

"Magic instrument, what is a magic instrument?"

Qin Yanxi was a little curious, and Su Chen smiled slightly and replied: "Magic tools are objects with some special functions. The most common ones are the peach wood swords held by Taoists in film and television dramas. However, if a peach wood sword is a magic weapon, the first requirement for the material of the peach wood sword is very high. The first step is to be lightning wood. Do you know what the price of lightning wood is on the market?"

Without waiting for Qin Yanxi to answer, Su Chen answered by himself.

"A piece of lightning-striking wood the size of a palm is priced at about 10,000 yuan. Of course, this kind of lightning-striking wood is not simply struck by lightning, but a tree that has not died after being struck by lightning. Then, when the tree grows new skins again, this will be considered a real lightning-striking wood."

Qin Yanxi smacked his tongue: "The conditions are so harsh, there are not many lightning-striking woods in the country that meet the conditions, so it is not expensive to sell at this price."

"It's indeed rare, but not without it. In some primeval forests, there are still a lot of lightning strikes, but because no one noticed it, when these trees are completely replaced, they can't recognize them. Over time, the energy contained in the thunder has completely disappeared."

The reason why lightning wood can be sold is so expensive is that it contains the energy of thunder, but the energy of thunder is not always there and will dissipate with time.

"Mr. Su, I have really seen the lightning-striking wood when you talk about it. And there is one in our hometown. Last month, a willow tree was struck by lightning, but the willow tree is not dead and is still alive. I don't know if it matches the lightning-striking wood you said."

The driver who was driving quietly in front suddenly spoke. The driver has followed Li Xuan for many years and is considered Li Xuan's confidant. He knows how respect his boss respects Mr. Su. Under normal circumstances, he will not speak if he drives directly.

"Oh, Master, where is your hometown?"

"My hometown is not far from Anyi County, I am from Anyi."

"Since it's not far away, can the master take me over and take a look?"

I am still very interested in lightning strikes Mu Suchen. This thing is of too wide use, and even if I can't use it, I can still exchange what I want with others.

"Okay, then I'll take Mr. Su and Miss Qin to my hometown to take a look."

The driver turned around and drove towards another road. After half an hour, the car stopped in front of a village.

Although this village does not look as simple as Anyi Ancient Town, it is considered an ancient town. The entrance of the village is a large pond, which also conforms to the style of Gan'an architecture, that is, the village's site selection is usually located next to the water outlet.

"Mr. Su, this is that willow tree."

When he stopped the car, the driver pointed his finger at the edge of the pond, but he didn't need to point it. Su Chen's eyes were already on the willow tree.

This is a willow tree growing by the pond. The branches of the willow tree are not particularly long, about two meters high, but the branches are scattered very wide, like an open umbrella, covering almost half of the pond.

After getting off the car, Su Chen and Qin Yanxi approached, and then they noticed that the middle of the willow tree was charred and obviously struck by lightning.

"Mr. Su, this willow tree has more than just these branches and leaves. It was lush before it was struck by lightning. Now it is less than one-third of the branches and leaves. Look at the withered branches on the ground, they fell from the willow tree."

The driver also came over and told Su Chen about the situation.

"After the willow tree was struck by lightning, I heard from the people in the village that the willow tree was charred in the previous week. Everyone in our village thought that the willow tree must be dead, but what I didn't expect was that the willow tree behind it had slowly recovered and became what it is now."

"Then the vitality of this willow tree is really tenacious."

After listening to the driver's introduction, Qin Yanxi was a little incredible. The whole tree was charred and could be resurrected. Apart from lamenting that the vitality of this willow tree is too tenacious, I really don't know what to say.

Su Chen stretched out his hand and was about to touch the willow tree. For some reason, the willow tree in front of him gave him a mysterious feeling, which was far from being as simple as lightning strike wood.

However, just when Su Chen reached out his hand and before he touched the willow tree, a shout suddenly came from a distance.

"Who are you? Don't move around!"

The sound came from the left. Su Chen turned his head and found that a group of people walked out of the village at this moment. Seeing himself, these people speeded up.

"Director Liu, is there anything wrong? This is Mr. Su, and I am the boss's good friend."

When the driver Lao Gao saw a group of people coming, he immediately spoke first, afraid that Director Liu would offend Mr. Su if he spoke.

"Boss Li's friend, that's a distinguished guest. Lao Gao, don't inform me in advance."

Liu Cai, who was originally stern, immediately changed his expression when he heard the driver Lao Gao's words, and his face changed with a smile on his face.

As the director, he knows the situation of every household in the village. Lao Gao has been following Boss Li for many years. Although he is just a driver, the most caring thing about the leaders these days is the driver and secretary, and the bosses are the same.

Who is Boss Li? He is a famous big shot and entrepreneur in the province. Such a person cannot be offended by such a small village committee director.

So for Lao Gao, Liu Cai was in a heart of friendship. Every time Lao Gao came back on holiday, he would go to Lao Gao’s house to sit, thinking about whether he could take the line with Boss Li.

"Hello, Mr. Su."

Liu Cai stretched out his hand towards Su Chen with a smile. Su Chen also shook his hand with a smile, but his eyes shifted from Liu Cai to a middle-aged man next to Liu Cai.

"Director Liu, when Mr. Su heard that there was a willow tree in our village that was struck by lightning but was not dead, he was curious to come and take a look."

The driver Lao Gao is very good at observing his expressions, and he had heard Su Chen talk about the value of lightning strikes in the car before, and now he added: "Mr. Su is very interested in this willow tree. If we want to buy this willow tree, our village will not disagree."

Lao Gao was very confident when he said this, because Liu Cai gave him face on weekdays. Although he knew that Liu Cai gave him face to Mr. Li behind him, as long as he was still Mr. Li's driver, Liu Cai had to always give face.

Just a willow tree, Liu Cai will definitely not refute his face.

However, what Lao Gao did not expect was that when Liu Cai heard his words, he looked embarrassed and said with a sorry look: "Lao Gao, if you told me earlier, this matter would be easy. Now I can't make the decision on this willow tree because it has been sold to Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen paid 10,000 yuan to our village committee, and the money has been given. This tree will be Mr. Chen from now on."

Liu Cai's words stunned Lao Gao. It was so coincidental that he glanced at Su Chen. When he saw Su Chen pondering and not speaking, he knew it.

"Director Liu, Mr. Su really likes this willow tree. Didn't Mr. Chen spend 10,000 yuan? That's it. I'm willing to buy it for 15,000 yuan."

"Sorry, I won't sell it."

However, before Liu Cai could answer, Mr. Chen refused first.

Liu Cai glanced at Mr. Chen and his eyes turned a few times. Lao Gao couldn't afford to offend him, but Mr. Chen was also a person he couldn't afford to offend him. Mr. Chen's backer was also a great deal.

"That... I think why don't we go to the village first and sit down and discuss it."

Liu Cai started to smooth things over, but Mr. Chen did not intend to give face. After hearing this, he replied coldly: "Director Liu, I have already given the money and delivered the goods with one hand. I will take this willow tree away now."

After saying that, Mr. Chen winked at the people around him. Those people walked towards the willow tree. Lao Gao wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Su Chen.

"It's okay, let them go."

Su Chen's eyes fell on the willow tree. He could not see through the willow tree before, but now he was sure that this willow tree is not simple. Mr. Chen obviously came for lightning strike wood. Unfortunately, this willow tree is not as simple as lightning strike wood.
