Chapter 387 Everyone who opens a store has special skills

The wood on the surface of the golden snakeskin may have been contaminated by mutations caused by the power of certain snakes.

That being said, there is indeed something magical about it.

Maybe it can be used to practice your hands.

Su Fan thought in his heart.

Because his strength was growing day by day, he did not have the trouble of taking advantage of the spiritual sword, so he dabbled in weapon refining, hoping to forge his own natal spiritual sword.

But before you really start, you have to try your hand once or twice.

Su Fan was about to ask Ron and the others to bring over some more lightning strikes, when Joshua and Eddie brought better choices.

But Joshua's next words made Su Fan change his original mind.

"According to the donor at the time, the wood came from the mainland of Dongda, a province called SC."

SC Province?

Su Fan suddenly had a guess in his mind.

There is quite a saying about Shu. He remembered that in his previous life, he discovered ancient ruins here that were older than the Xia Dynasty.

However, because its age has not yet been determined, all research findings have not been disclosed to outsiders.

The golden bark like snake skin and its place of origin reminded Su Fan of the mythical sacred tree, Jianmu.

Jianmu, a sacred tree that is said to connect heaven and earth, was planted by Huangdi Xuanyuan himself.

Taihao, Fuxi and other three emperors and five emperors relied on Jianmu to travel between heaven and earth.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas: Hai Nei Nan Jing" records: "The building is a hundred feet tall without branches, with nine vines and nine wolfberry trees underneath. It is actually like hemp, and its leaves are like awns. It is a big stick, and it is the work of the Yellow Emperor."

"Huainanzi·Zhen Xingxun" also says: "The buildings are spread across the capital, and the emperors are from above and below. There is no view in the sun, and there is no sound when shouting, covering the sky and the earth."

Su Fan naturally did not expect real Jianmu to appear in this era.

If such treasures were lost outside, the cultivators from Dongda would have rushed to seize them with red eyes, and it would not be Joshua's turn to sense them.

But having said that, even if there are only a few characteristics similar to Jianmu, it is precious enough.

Maybe this thing is Jianmu's second and third kind.

If it is truly spiritual and extraordinary, it would indeed be a good material for the hilt of a spiritual sword.

"After being rejected, the man took the wooden sculpture and left. I also searched for him later, but I could never find any trace of him."

"However, judging from his clothing, his financial situation is difficult. It is estimated that the scope of his activities will not be too wide, and he should still be in London."

"Your information is indeed valuable."

After learning that his spiritual sword was found, Su Fan was in a very good mood.

"How about you go to Ron's place another day and get some talismans that I drew by myself as a reward?"

"Thank you for your generosity."

Eddie and Joshua thanked each other, with a little smile on their faces.

It was not like Joshua had not thought about using his ability to seize the opportunity and take the magical wood as his own.

But after careful consideration, we know that this is not realistic.

The family knew nothing about the use of exotic flowers and herbs, and the things he found in the past were just sold to collectors for a good price.

Rather than doing this, it's better to sell it to this person as a favor.

Putting aside the power of the talisman itself, the meaning it contains is extraordinary.

After the family learned about this, they probably did not dare to be too public about the subsequent merger.

All in all, the purpose of this trip was achieved.

"The news has been brought, so we won't bother you."

"Tom, please see me off."

Su Fan looked cheerful.

And Tom also had a happy face.

Although he didn't know what the wood carvings they were talking about were, he could tell that Su Fan was attracted by such things.

Doesn't this mean that we need to stay in London longer?

Joshua, you did well, well done!

After they left the house, they got on the special car that had been waiting for a long time. After a long time, they breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

The entire conversation was completely different from what I had expected.

There is no use for all kinds of twists and turns, it is almost just a question and an answer.

The news that they regarded as their trump card was revealed by Joshua so easily.

There seemed to be an invisible oppression around that person. Even if he looked peaceful and calm, that kind of aura would be exuded in every move he made.

Weak mortals cannot feel it, so they can talk to them normally, but extraordinary people cannot.

Just like when ants touch a person's fingertips, they can climb up without any scruples, but mice can see the giant thing moving, so they flee in panic.

Fortunately, the result was that it lived up to its mission.

After the car drove away, Joshua spoke.

"I always feel like I'm in a dream."

"Yeah."

He stopped abruptly at this point, but Eddie understood the meaning behind it.

Before Ron came to Britain, the branch family was already preparing to draw a clear line with the main family.

The power of the latter is gradually declining, and it still retains the hereditary system of the past.

They can already compete with them in worldly financial resources, and their supernatural power is far stronger than them.

The senior members of all branches are ambitious.

In the position of the owner of this Mayfair house, you, a New Orleans rookie, can do it, but I, a Londoner, can't do it?

As for the head of the family and the Su Fan she knew, everyone was just a small role that they had no skills at that time and could win over with their beauty.

But he never expected that he was not a small character at all, but a behemoth who could subvert the family in a single turn.

He single-handedly completely dispelled their ideas and shocked everyone.

The top management was forced to formulate a division and merger plan at the speed of light and transfer rights.

"But at least we got useful information."

The other party's desire for fame and wealth in the world is not very great, and it is probably enough.

At the same time, the relationship with the family is not as close as everyone expected. The only link connecting them is Ron.

This information is particularly important in subsequent negotiations.

If you are not clear about the twists and turns, you will most likely be intimidated by the other party and lose the initiative in the negotiation.

"Going back."

While Eddie and the others were talking, Su Fan, who stayed in the house, also began to think about it.

In London?

The land area of ​​Britain is not too large, it is about the size of a large province in the East, and London is naturally not much larger.

But even so, it is very difficult to find someone who holds a spiritual tree among millions of people. It is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The range that spiritual consciousness can cover is only 800 meters in radius. Even if it can fly, it will take time to explore.

Too slow.

And he himself doesn't have many connections here.

Thinking of this, Su Fan was stunned for a moment.

He really didn't have any connections, but he seemed to have one in Rat Pulse.

He ducked out of the house and lightly kicked the asphalt road below.

Rats are ubiquitous creatures with keen hearing.

With their help, Ethan is almost a know-it-all in London.

And this also means that his current location is also clearly known to the other party. Because of this, Su Fan can find him anytime and anywhere.

Without too many words, Ethan could understand what he meant by this action.

Sure enough, in the house next door, a small gray shadow suddenly appeared by the window.

It glanced at Su Fan, then immediately jumped down, as if to tell the news.

The next day.

Su Fan opened the door of a coffee shop on the corner.

There's no one here, and business doesn't seem to be very good.

But it still plays gentle and emotional songs.

Hot water is filtered through finely ground coffee beans, releasing a rich aroma.

The blond young man at the counter has long hair and looks like a young painter in a knitted woolen sweater from an art academy.

The former should be the manager of this store.

Please...you...collect_6_9_书_吧 (六//九//书//吧)

He raised his head and smiled at Su Fan, moving his hands constantly while saying hello.

"Welcome. What kind of coffee do you want? There are all on the board, please choose whatever you want."

"Cappuccino."

"Understood, please wait a moment."

The young man is familiar with using the coffee machine, and his step-by-step movements are skillful and smooth.

Pour the concentrated coffee liquid into a cup and set it aside, froth the fresh milk, and finally mix it with the coffee liquid in batches to create beautiful milk flowers.

He picked up two cups of coffee, came to Su Fan, and handed them over.

"This is the cappuccino you asked for, please use it slowly."

After finishing speaking, the young man did not leave, but sat down opposite.

Su Fan did not object to his behavior, but just picked up the coffee and took a sip.

"It tastes good, business shouldn't be so bleak."

"It's not just the taste that's important. Normally, shouldn't you take a photo before drinking it?"

The manager of the coffee shop opposite showed a smile, but quickly restrained it.

"Dear Lord of Wind and Thunder, this is the first time we meet. I am the owner of this store, Ethan."

Su Fan looked at the opposite person with a serious face and firm eyes, like a young man about to go to war.

Who could associate such a young, handsome and even somewhat elegant man with a villain who controls mice?

However, the other party is quite similar to himself in this regard.

It can only be said that those who want to do business these days must have other skills at their disposal.

"I didn't expect to be qualified to meet you so quickly. I'm really flattered."

Su Fan smiled slightly when he heard this.

"Thank you for providing Ron with information and helping to guide the way, otherwise the door to hell would open and the consequences would be disastrous."

Two demon gods were not Su Fan's limit, but if three or four more were added and enemies kept coming, he would have to make a strategic retreat.

He, Su Fan, could naturally escape with the few people he knew here, but how should the innocent citizens living in London face this disaster?

Ethan could be said to have saved the entire city that night.

"I just don't want to see this city taken over by demons."

The young man picked up his coffee and took a sip, looking quite satisfied.

"I like this kind of life. I open a coffee shop leisurely here, occasionally go to do business, and go to other places to feed mice."

"Whoever wants to destroy this life is my enemy."

"The same goes for demons."

Su Fan was not surprised by his thoughts.

Ordinary people don't have any ambitions. They just hope to guard their own one-third of an acre of land and live a small life.

Their world is small, they rarely participate in competition, and they never compete with others for anything. However, if anyone dares to reach out and snatch their few treasures, they will show their fangs.

I'm afraid the Demon God didn't expect that the plan would fall short because of such a small person.

"What's more, your favor is so valuable."

Ethan suddenly laughed, his face revealing the cunning and shrewdness of a profiteer.

While maintaining his own good life, he also sold Su Fan a favor. This deal was really not an ordinary bargain.

"Aren't you worried that the demon gods will hate you because of this? Their followers are all over the world, but I can't come here anytime and anywhere to keep you safe."

"High risk, high reward. And if nothing else, I still have some life-saving means."

Seeing the other person's confident look, Su Fan became a little curious.

It's an interesting way to save one's life from the seventy-two demon gods.

But this is not the purpose of his coming here this time.

"I came here this time to buy some news from you."

Hearing this, Ethan put down the coffee cup in his hand, as if he was listening.

After Su Fan told the information about the wood carving and its specific origin, he nodded in understanding.

"I know."

"Do you know where the wood carvings are?"

Su Fan was a little surprised.

Even if there are thousands of rats acting as scouts to gather information, it still takes time to memorize and sort out the information.

Just through someone's dry description, you can accurately search for relevant information in your mind. How can the other party's brain power be so amazing?

"You misunderstood. I am not talking about the wood carving itself, but the origin of the person who made the wood carving."

"Tell me and listen."

As Su Fan said this, he picked up the coffee and took a sip.

And Ethan also spoke slowly.

"Since about a year ago, Britain and other European countries have started to have strange props from the great Eastern countries circulating in the market."

"The quantity of these props is not small, and they are very effective. They are not cheap items that can be seen everywhere."

"According to the habits of Eastern people, it should be good enough to be regarded as a treasure handed down from generation to generation."

"But now it suddenly appears on the market."

"Some people in the industry were worried that this was some small trick being done there, so they inquired about the news. Later they learned that it was a group of members of a famous Taoist sect who had betrayed their sect and fled abroad."

"He seemed to have abandoned the knowledge and power he had learned before, so he sold everything he brought out from there at a low price or donated it. In short, he didn't keep anything and sold everything."

After Su Fan heard this, he was quite confused.

There are almost no systematic cultivation methods abroad.

It's okay for that person to betray the sect, why do he have to take away all the things? Isn't this like cutting off his own arm?

Is there really no money to spend?

Moreover, extraordinary people generally have different sensing abilities than ordinary people. If mice and the like are really eavesdropping, they will be discovered over time.

"How do you know so many inside stories?"

"This..."

Ethan looked a little embarrassed when Su Fan asked him about this.
