  ……

  "The spiritual energy contained in that jade pendant can at least allow me to break through to the second layer of Qi training in an extremely short period of time, I must think of a way to get it." Chen Qingdi was excited in his heart and made a secret decision, even if he had to snatch it.

  Something with spiritual energy, on Earth, except for the Dan Yang fruit a few months ago, this is still Chen Qing Emperor's first encounter, and the amount of spiritual energy is not small.

  So much so that it moved Chen Qingdi's heart extremely.

  Of course, if it were in Chen Qingdi's original world, a jade pendant with this amount of spiritual energy wouldn't even be worth a glance. No choice, the situation is different now, the spiritual energy on Earth is just too thin, thin to the point of being negligible.

  The spiritual energy inside this jade pendant is already very strong for the earth.

  "Who would have thought that there are still things on this earth that contain spiritual energy, although they are far inferior to spirit stones, but for the current environment, that is absolutely a good thing." Chen Yun's eyes narrowed into a line, and he secretly thought: "Hmmm, in the future, when cultivating, I must not only focus on medicinal materials, but also pay attention to things like jade pendants that contain spiritual energy, and actively search for them."

  Another one, the gate of origin of spiritual energy, was discovered by Chen Qingdi.

  "What's wrong? You two are looking at me with this kind of gaze, don't you welcome me?" Lin Jingru sneered, having no good feelings towards Lü Houji and Lü Bofa, those two young masters.

  "Not...not unwelcome." Lü Houji's legs trembled nonstop, and he smiled repeatedly, saying: "You can come, it's really our honor, it's our honor..."

  "Stop talking nonsense and return the evidence to me quickly." Yuan Ke didn't care about that, Chen Da Shao had already invited him over, now he was most concerned about those evidences.

  "That's for sure." Lü Houji took out two slips of paper and threw them to Yuan Jue. Although Lin Jingyu had suddenly appeared halfway, they were still proceeding with their previous plan, more or less.

  Chen Qingdi is here, it's all right.

  Yuan Jia took the receipt, glanced at it, and saw that it was indeed the mortgage receipt he had written himself. He immediately felt relieved and quickly tore it to shreds, tearing it fiercely.

  The existence of the mortgage deed is a death warrant for Yuan Chonghuan and Yuan Dashao, now that it's in their hands, they will certainly destroy it.

  "Chen Dashao, I think Yuan Chou has already told you that my driver is eager to have a racing match with you." Lü Houji looked at Chen Qingdi and said: "The original condition was that only when you agreed to race with my driver would we return the mortgage certificate to Yuan Chou. However, with the reputation of Chen Dashao as a car god, I think Chen Dashao won't refuse, right?"

  If Lin Jingrou hadn't appeared suddenly, how would Lü Houji have taken out the mortgage deed so easily? He must have waited until Chen Qingdi started racing before handing it over to Yuan Jiong.

  As for Chen Da's title of "Car God", cough... does he really have such a title? Who believes it? Is it useful?

  "You want to race with me? Well, I'm a bit short on cash lately..." Chen Qing raised an eyebrow and said: "Before we start racing, shouldn't we discuss the terms?"

  Chen Qingdi had already taken Lü Houji's jade pendant as his own, and if he could get it through racing, he would save himself a lot of trouble.

  "Conditions? Oh, that's it." Lv Houji smiled slightly and said: "I don't know, Chen Da Shao, how do you plan to gamble?"

  "How to gamble? As for how to gamble, that depends... " Chen Qingdi's eyes gleamed with a faint light as he said calmly: "That depends on how much cash you have. If it's too little, then this young master isn't interested."

  "Chen Da Shao, I don't know if 150 million in cash is enough?" Lü Hou's eyes flashed a cold glint, but his face maintained a smile.

  If he didn't have a task in hand, how would Lü Houyuan have said so much nonsense to Chen Qingdi?

  Compared to Chen Qingdi, Lü Houji is a small spoiled brat, but this little spoiled brat has always looked down on Chen Qingdi, the super spoiled brat, and extremely despises him.

  In Lv Houji's view, he is a clever and intelligent young master, while Chen Dashao is just a big fool who relies on the backing of the Chen family.

  "One billion five hundred million? Come on, that's a bit too little, right? But never mind, even a fly's leg is meat, less is less. Hmm, I'll take 500 million and bet you 1.5 billion." Chen Qingdi looked at Lü Houji with a greedy gaze, reminding him: "We must make it clear beforehand, if I win, that 1.5 billion of yours will be mine."

  "That's for sure." Lü Houji smiled coldly in his heart and said, "If Chen Da Shaoye loses, those five million will be mine."

  "Lost?" Chen Qingdi snorted twice, saying disdainfully: "Will this young master lose? Hmph, this young master is the Car God, how can the Car God lose?"

  "Car god? Not bad, Chen Da Shao is indeed a car god." Lü Houji's mouth twitched slightly as he said: "Chen Da Shao, when do we start?"

  Car god?

  They say you're a racing god, but you really think you're a racing god? What a big joke.

  "Anytime... wait a minute." Chen Qingdi's gaze fell on Lü Houji's chest and said, "This jade pendant of yours is not bad, I like it very much. Take it out to bet too. If I win, the 150 million plus this jade pendant will all be mine."

  Jade pendant!

  The jade pendant with a rich and thick spiritual energy is what Chen Qingdi really wants.

  Of course, in order to avoid drawing attention to himself, Chen Qing Emperor pretended that he had just discovered the bet and casually added it. Giving others the impression that Chen Da Shao was only curious about Lü Houji's jade pendant, rather than really taking a liking to it.

  As he spoke, Chen Qingdi reached out and touched the jade pendant on Lü Houji's waist, feeling the spiritual energy contained within it. His heart skipped a beat, and his determination to get it grew even stronger.

  "With the spiritual energy inside this jade pendant, in just three to five days, I can break through to the second layer of Qi Refining." Chen Qingdi reluctantly let go of the pendant, thinking to himself: "I must get it into my hands."

  At Chen Qingdi's current level of cultivation, to cultivate to the second layer of Qi Refining, just the medicinal materials that need to be purchased would cost at least tens or hundreds of millions.

  Money doesn't mean anything to Chen Qingdi at all, what's most important is wasting time.

  According to Chen Qingdi's initial estimate, even with a large amount of medicinal herbs to aid him, in an environment where the spiritual energy on Earth is so thin it can almost be ignored, without two or three months' time, it would be impossible to break through to the second layer of Qi Refining.

  However, Lü Houji's jade pendant can allow Chen Qingdi to break through within three to five days.

  It can be seen that this jade pendant of Lü Houji is not just worth over 10 million yuan for Chen Qingdi, but it has greatly shortened the time.

  "Ah..." Lü Houji suddenly found it difficult to part with it, and was very reluctant.

  Lü Houji held the jade pendant in front of his chest, which was not an ordinary jade pendant, but a protective charm that he had worn since childhood. The value was expensive, but more importantly, it was deeply meaningful.

  If this jade pendant is lost, Lv Houji will be in trouble when he goes back.

  "What? You're not willing?" Chen Qingdi shrugged and glanced at Lü Houji with a slanted gaze, saying lightly: "It's what you said, the conditions can be set by me. I've set the conditions, it's up to you whether you agree or not, it has nothing to do with me."

  "Yuan Pangzi, I'll also help you get back the mortgage deed. Let's go." Chen Qingdi dropped this sentence and turned to leave without any hesitation.

  To capture him, we must first capture his followers!

  Chen Qingdi knew that this car racing was not simple, so Chen Dashao firmly believed that no matter what requirements he put forward, Lü Houji would definitely agree.

  But Chen Qingdi did this, and it would also give Lv Houji and others a misunderstanding, that is: he, Chen Dashao, didn't take a fancy to Lv Houji's jade pendant, but took the jade pendant as an excuse not to compete with Lv Houji in chariot racing.

  Will Lü Houji let Chen Qingdi have his way? Even if Lü Houji is willing, what about his mission?

  This was also destined, Chen Qingdi's desire to capture and release, it will definitely work, one hit is enough!
