All information about Zhou Hong was exposed to Ye Qianxing's eyes. read
It has to be said that there is a reason why Zhou Hong is valued by Mr. Zhou. He has become a B8 level spirit master at the age of just over 40, and his talent is already quite good.
Unlike Zhou Shen, he is only a C-level spirit master until now, and he still relied on resources to accumulate resources.
However, even if there are sufficient resources, it does not mean that the strength level of the spiritual pet can be increased without limit.
How many levels a spiritual pet can be upgraded to in the future depends not only on whether the resources are sufficient, but the most important thing is the blood quality of the spiritual pet itself and the mental strength of the spiritual master.
The latter is no less important than the former.
The strength of the spirit master's soul will also affect the upper limit of his spiritual pet. After all, the two parties have formed a soul contract.
If the spiritual master's soul strength is too weak and the level of the spiritual pet is too high, then the spiritual master is likely to suffer a mental breakdown because he cannot bear it.
This is one of the reasons why many people attach great importance to treasures that can enhance spiritual power.
However, although some treasures or elixirs can increase the soul strength of the spirit master, they are also limited.
At this time, it depends on how high their soul limit is.
In fact, the so-called talent is actually the upper limit of soul power.
Of course, some extremely precious and special treasures or elixirs can also essentially enhance the talent of a spirit master.
For example, the Pearl Purple Flower that Ye Qianxing obtained before.
However, this kind of treasure is extremely rare, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. It mainly depends on luck.
Saying so much is actually to prove the importance of soul talent to a spirit master.
Hard work is important, but talent is undoubtedly also extremely important.
At least it saves people a lot of walking.
As if he felt someone was watching him, Zhou Hong's eyes also shifted to Ye Qianxing.
When he discovered that Ye Qianxing was actually sitting next to Zhou Shen, Zhou Hong frowned visibly.
Zhou Xuan also noticed this side. Seeing her father staring at Ye Qianxing and the others, she lowered her head and whispered a few words in his ear.
While talking, he looked towards Ye Qianxing and the others, his eyes full of evil.
Although Ye Qianxing couldn't hear what they were saying, he could vaguely guess something through their expressions and eyes.
Zhou Xuan must be speaking ill of them this week.
"The old man is here!"
At this moment, a shout sounded.
At the same time, a rickety figure walked over from the inner hall with the help of several maids.
Ye Qianxing squinted at the old man. If he guessed correctly, this should be the owner of this birthday banquet, the head of the Zhou family, Mrs. Zhou.
What surprised Ye Qianxing was that Mr. Zhou was only in his sixties, but looking at his current condition, he looked like he was seventy or eighty years old.
Ye Qianxing could feel that Old Mrs. Zhou's vitality had been basically exhausted.
If nothing else happens, he can only live for three years at most.
Buzz!
A five-color brilliance flashed in Ye Qianxing's eyes, and the system's eyes saw it as data analysis.
A piece of information about Mr. Zhou appeared in front of him.
Human: Zhou Longjiu
Properties: None
Grade: A5
Physique: None
Identity: Spirit Controller
Spiritual Pet: Iron Lion Beast
Status: The serious injury has not healed and has become an old disease. Life is not long.
It's true that a person cannot be judged by his appearance. Mr. Zhou, who looked weak at first glance, turned out to be an A5 level spirit master.
It's just a pity that unless you become an awakened person you can share the abilities of your spiritual pet.
Otherwise, the strength level of the spiritual pet has almost no impact on the spiritual master.
It will not increase the life span of the spirit master.
"Has your grandfather ever been injured?"
Ye Qianxing asked casually.
Zhou Yue and Zhou Lang looked at each other and expressed their ignorance.
Zhou Shen on the side was a little surprised.
"How do you know? When he was young, my father participated in the battle to defend the imperial capital. At that time, he was seriously injured in the battle with evil spirits.
The battle to defend the imperial capital actually happened a long time ago. Ye Qianxing knew a thing or two about it. It seemed to be a major war that happened more than ten years ago.
The evil spirit army almost occupied the imperial capital that time, but Ye Qianxing didn't know how humans ended that war.
But he didn't want to know this for the time being, so he didn't ask in detail.
"Mr. Zhou is only sixty this year, but his condition is no different from that of a seventy or eighty year old. He must have an old disease."
Ye Qianxing said casually.
"Do you know medical skills?"
Zhou Shen asked in surprise.
"You know a little bit about it."
Ye Qianxing said with a smile, not that he was being modest, because he really didn't know much about medical skills.
These are also seen through the eyes of the system.
"Then can you help my father... Oh, forget it, you are so young, even if you know some medical skills, you can't help my father."
Zhou Shen originally wanted to ask Ye Qianxing if there was any way to treat his father, but he quickly gave up the idea.
Mr. Zhou's illness was treated by many well-known doctors in the imperial capital, but nothing could be done.
Because this is an old disease that occurred more than ten years ago, it has consumed 70 to 80% of his vitality.
Even if it can be cured, it will only prolong life for one or two years at most.
And the probability of cure is extremely low.
Ye Qianxing smiled slightly, but didn't say much.
He did have a way to extend Mr. Zhou's life, but he knew that even if he told Zhou Shen, he would definitely not believe it.
Even if Zhou Shen believed it, Mr. Zhou might not believe it, and he might even be ridiculed and humiliated.
He doesn't have the habit of sticking up to his cold butt.
"First of all, I would like to thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend my 60th birthday..."
Although Mr. Zhou was out of breath when he spoke, he still managed to say some polite words.
Then itβs time for guests to give gifts.
"Mr. Zhou, I came back in a hurry and didn't buy anything, so I gave you this blue and white porcelain. It's a product of the old times."
"Old man, although this bronze sword is not a spiritual weapon, it has been passed down from the old times and is of great collection value."
"Old man, take a look at this calligraphy and painting..."
Each guest rushed to introduce his or her gift.
Although they are all well-known figures from all walks of life in the imperial capital, they are nothing compared to Mr. Zhou.
Naturally, they have to please Mr. Zhou.
However, Mr. Zhou had no interest in the gifts from these guests.
He might have taken a second look at the antique calligraphy and paintings before they were put away, but now that his health is getting worse day by day, he has no time to pay attention to them.
What he cares about most now is his body.
Of course the guests knew this, but they were also helpless.
Treasures that can help Mr. Zhou's old illness are too scarce. Even if they are available, they will be expensive.
Even if they wanted to curry favor with the Zhou family, they wouldn't be able to pay such a high price.
"Father, this is the soul-nourishing jade. Wearing it all the time has the effect of warming and nourishing the soul."
After all the guests had given gifts, Zhou Hong stepped forward, took out a jade box, and opened it.
Inside was a piece of milky white jade.
The appearance and luster are all of the highest quality, and even a layman can see this.
But the most important thing is not these, but its soul-nourishing effect.
There are very few treasures that can enhance soul power. Although the soul-nourishing jade is not the top treasure among them, it is still very precious.
At least if measured in terms of money, it is definitely several times more expensive than the gifts given by all the guests present.
Sure enough, Mr. Zhou was obviously attracted by the soul-nurturing jade when he saw it.
He had always had an indifferent expression, but now he showed a rare smile of relief.
"Hahaha, my son spent a lot of money, but you are still the most filial."
Mr. Zhou happily praised.
Zhou Hong was very happy to be so praised by the old man. At the same time, he looked at Zhou Shen with provocative eyes.
Zhou Shen clenched his fists, but finally sighed.
Compared with Zhou Hong, his gifts were much inferior.
But he was a little confused, where did that guy Zhou Hong get the money to buy such a good thing.
This is the soul-nourishing jade, a rare treasure that can only be found.
"Father, in fact, this soul-nurturing jade does not belong to the child, but was given to you by Xiaoqing."
Zhou Hong quickly pointed at Ximen Qing next to Zhou Xuan and said.
Ximen Qing said quickly when he saw this.
"We are all one family, regardless of you and me. This soul-nurturing jade is a gift from our family to grandpa. I wish you happiness as long as the East China Sea and a long life as the Nanshan Mountain."
Ximen Qing's mouth is quite sweet.
Mr. Zhou was very satisfied with Ximen Qing because of his background and identity, and now that he received this soul-nurturing jade, he was even more satisfied.
"Grandpa, this is Huangfu Longdu. This time I will accompany you to your birthday party, grandpa. He has also prepared a gift for you."
Ximen Qing pointed at Huangfu Longdu beside him and said.
Huangfu Longdu hurriedly stepped forward.
"Is it Huangfu Longdu? The eldest son of the Huangfu family?"
"That should be true. The Huangfu family and the Ximen family are both one of the top ten families in the Imperial City, and their relationship is very good. The relationship between Ximen Qing and Huangfu Long at Imperial University is also very good."
"Yes, and I also heard that Huangfu Longdu is super talented and ranks in the top five in the Hidden Dragon Ranking of Imperial University, a few spots higher than Ximen Qing."
As soon as Huangfu Longdu stood up, many guests became excited.
There was a lot of discussion, and everyone had obviously heard of the name Huangfu Longdu.
Huangfu Longdu listened to the compliments of the guests around him, but he was very indifferent. It was obvious that he had experienced a lot of this kind of scene and had long been used to it.
"Grandpa Zhou, this is my gift, a century-old stalactite, which has the effect of prolonging life."
Huangfu Longdu also handed over a jade box.
When he heard the words "prolong life and longevity", Mr. Zhou's eyes instantly lit up.
What he cares about most now is extending his life.
After all, no matter what you enjoy or do, living is the foundation.
Otherwise, even if he holds a high and powerful position, it would be a waste to spend his life enjoying it.
Mr. Zhou opened the jade box directly in front of him regardless of etiquette, and there was a small porcelain vase inside.
The porcelain bottle was opened, and there was milky white liquid inside, with a burst of fragrance.
Just smelling it made Mr. Zhou feel more energetic.
