Chapter 218 Obtaining the Marrow Cleansing Pill and Meeting an Old Friend

When Zhao Ya smelled the fragrance, he felt his bones itching slightly, and he was very surprised.

Because this was actually a marrow cleansing pill.

You should know that the main reason why so many people are stuck at the threshold of the fifth realm is that the turbid and evil air in the bone marrow is difficult to expel.

Especially after the age of thirty, when the bone marrow is fixed and hardened, it is even more difficult to detoxify.

That's why there are so many half-step fifth realm warriors who are stuck at this threshold for their entire lives and can't get in.

But there are ways, such as the marrow cleansing pill in Zhao Ya's hand at this time, which is specially prepared for half-step fifth realm warriors over the age of thirty.

It is not used to help you detoxify, but to shake the bone marrow, so that the hardened and fixed bone marrow will soften again, which is equivalent to giving you another chance.

From this, you can imagine how precious this marrow cleansing pill is.

Don't look at the gold notes worth 100,000 taels here, but compared with this marrow cleansing pill, it is nothing at all.

Because the value of this kind of pill cannot be measured by money.

Those warriors who were stuck at the threshold of the fifth realm would go bankrupt and even pay any price to get this pill.

I didn't expect that He Zhen actually had such a treasure in his hand. It seems that my hard work was not in vain.

This pill alone is worth the price, not to mention the more than 100,000 taels of gold notes.

Zhao Ya was overjoyed. He packed the marrow cleansing pill close to his body and robbed all the gold notes in the box.

Then he closed the cabinet door, restored everything to its original state, and then returned to the No. 8 compartment of Tianzi.

"Come here!" Zhao Ya shouted.

The door was pushed open, and the woman responded: "Young master, what do you want?"

"Take a bath." Zhao Ya said directly.

"Yes, I will arrange it for you right away."

Since you are here and have spent so much money to open a compartment, you naturally have to enjoy it.

Soon, servants brought various items to Zhao Ya, and the woman was about to go forward to help Zhao Ya undress.

Zhao Ya waved his hand, "No need, I can do it myself, you go out, I'll call you after you're done."

"Uh..." The woman never expected Zhao Ya to let her go.

She was looking forward to seeing this heroic young man, what kind of figure he had.

"Young Master..." The woman wanted to hold on.

"Get out!"

The woman had to leave with a face full of resentment.

Zhao Ya was not hypocritical, he just didn't like strangers around him when he was taking a bath.

After the woman left, Zhao Ya took off his clothes and lay in the hot spring pool.

The hard training and constant battles during this period made Zhao Ya feel a little tired.

This tiredness did not come from the body, but from the tense nerves.

But after being soaked in the warm spring water, the tense nerves finally relaxed gradually.

Zhao Ya stretched comfortably, closed his eyes and began to enjoy it.

And just as he was taking a bath, a carriage came in front of the gate of Four Seasons Garden.

When the carriage stopped, two women got off.

One of the fat-headed and round-faced women saw the bright night scene and the pedestrians coming and going on the street, and couldn't help but say excitedly.

"Wow, Hongyu, it's so lively and beautiful here."

As she smiled, the thick layer of powder on her face kept falling down, which looked very funny.

The woman standing next to her was not wearing any powder, and her face was bare.

Despite this, her picturesque eyebrows and facial features, and her fair and translucent skin still attracted many eyes.

Xia Hongyu didn't feel much excitement at this time.

On the contrary, this feeling of being noticed made her very uncomfortable.

Especially the almost unscrupulous eyes of some men, which made her recall some bad memories, and she wanted to escape from here immediately.

So she whispered, "Wen'er, let's go. If my aunt or grandfather knew that we came here at night, they would definitely blame me."

"Oh, why are you so timid? We are not here for anything. Can't we just have a simple meal? Besides, I am responsible for everything. If your grandfather blames you, I will block it for you."

"But..."

"There are not so many buts. We are here. We have to go in and take a look. Besides, this is the famous Four Seasons Garden. If my friend is not a little powerful, you can't go in even if you want to, let alone have a meal. Let's go, just think of it as accompanying me."

Perhaps moved by the last sentence, Xia Hongyu finally nodded.

"Okay, but we have to be quick. I have to go home before the hour of Xu."

"Don't worry, it's just a simple meal. It won't take much time."

Cheng Wen'er was secretly happy.

Although they didn't know each other for a long time, she had figured out Xia Hongyu's character.

Knowing that this beautiful woman who returned from abroad was very lonely, she longed for friendship.

So as long as she brought up the banner of friendship, it would be difficult for her to refuse.

Sure enough, it worked immediately.

Cheng Wen'er took Xia Hongyu and walked into the Four Seasons Garden.

"Ladies, do you have an appointment?" Someone immediately came forward to greet them.

Cheng Wen'er nodded, "I have an appointment. My friend's surname is Dong. He has reserved a table for a banquet in Xia Garden."

"Okay, please follow me."

This person led the way, while Cheng Wen'er winked at Xia Hongyu with a proud look, and then lowered her voice.

"What do you think? I told you that my friend is very powerful."

Xia Hongyu ignored all this. She was always a little uneasy in her heart, but the pedestrians coming and going on the road, especially the women, gave her some comfort.

Wen'er was right. She was indeed a little too sensitive.

Although there were many brothels in Changpingfang, the Four Seasons Garden was not just a brothel, but had everything. For example, the Summer Garden was famous in the capital for its banquets.

Many dignitaries often brought their families here for dinner, so it was not surprising that there were women coming and going.

Xia Hongyu laughed at herself secretly and followed Cheng Wen'er to the Summer Garden.

There were flowers everywhere and green trees, and what was even more valuable was that it was like this all year round. Even in the dead of winter, when it was snowing heavily outside, it was a summer scene inside.

It can be seen how luxurious the Four Seasons Garden was.

"Miss Wen'er, Miss Hongyu, this way!"

A hearty voice came from the front, and then a man in a moon-white robe came over quickly.

The man was handsome, but short, but his clothes were luxurious, which showed that his family background should be very good.

"Mr. Dong!" Cheng Wen'er smiled and bowed.

Dong Yiping nodded, but his eyes were fixed on Xia Hongyu standing behind him, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Dong Yiping thought to himself that he had seen beautiful women before, but Xia Hongyu's natural beauty without any carving still gave him a great shock.

Xia Hongyu's face changed.

She thought that the friend Cheng Wen'er was talking about would be a woman.

But she didn't expect it to be a man.

So she pulled Cheng Wen'er aside and whispered, "Wen'er, what's going on?"

"Oh, Mr. Dong heard that we were going out, so he specially booked a banquet at Sishi Garden. I thought since we were all friends, I didn't tell you."

After hearing this, Xia Hongyu's face suddenly became ugly, and she really wanted to turn around and leave.

Although she had met this Dong Yiping once, it was just a one-time acquaintance, and she was not familiar with him at all.

But Cheng Wen'er held her arm tightly and kept saying good things.

Helplessly, Xia Hongyu could only reluctantly nod, and then whispered to Cheng Wen'er.

"Just sit for a while, and then we will leave immediately, understand?"

"Yeah, don't worry!"

After agreeing, Cheng Wen'er shouted to Dong Yiping, "Mr. Dong, let's go."

"Okay, please follow me!"

Dong Yiping quietly exchanged glances with Cheng Wen'er.

Cheng Wen'er smiled ambiguously and nodded slightly.

Dong Yiping was very excited and hurriedly led the two of them to the reserved private room.

Along the way, Xia Hongyu was a little absent-minded and kept observing the surrounding environment.

She had decided to sit for a while and then leave.

If Cheng Wen'er didn't agree, then she would leave alone.

So she silently memorized the route she had taken.

At this moment, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of her eye.

This figure shocked Xia Hongyu and she immediately turned her head to look.

But at this time, the figure had disappeared, as if it had disappeared.

"Hongyu, what's wrong with you?"

Cheng Wen'er saw Xia Hongyu's face suddenly change, and couldn't help asking.

"Nothing."

Xia Hongyu said softly, then retracted her gaze and continued to walk forward.

Cheng Wen'er looked at Xia Hongyu, whose mood had obviously become a little low, and didn't understand what was going on.

Xia Hongyu laughed at herself in her heart.

It seems that I am really dazzled. He should be in Yunxiao County at this moment. How could he appear in the capital city thousands of miles away?

But that figure... is so familiar!

For a moment, Xia Hongyu was confused and didn't know how she entered the private room and how the food and wine were served.

Until Dong Yiping picked up the cup and said to her with a smile on her face: "Miss Hongyu, although this is not the first time we meet, it is the first time to eat together. Please give me face and have a drink with me?"

Xia Hongyu woke up from her memories and looked up at Dong Yiping.

I have to admit that Dong Yiping is quite handsome, especially after dressing up carefully, he barely deserves the four words "Yu Shu Lin Feng".

But somehow, looking at the smile on his face, Xia Hongyu not only did not feel happy, but felt a little annoyed.

She shook her head gently, "Sorry, I never drink."

The smile on Dong Yiping's face froze, and he turned to look at Cheng Wen'er beside him.

Cheng Wen'er said quickly, "Hey Hongyu, this is not strong liquor, but fruit wine prepared for female relatives. It's sour and sweet, and it doesn't have any alcohol."

"Fruit wine won't work either." Xia Hongyu still insisted.

Dong Yiping's expression gradually became cold, and Cheng Wen'er felt uneasy when she saw this, so she forced a smile.

"Hongyu, Mr. Dong is not an outsider. He has raised his glass. Why don't you drink a little?"

But Xia Hongyu did not give in on this point.

"Sorry, I said I don't drink, especially not from a stranger."

As soon as he said this, Dong Yiping's eyelids began to twitch, staring at Cheng Wen'er.

Cheng Wen'er didn't expect Xia Hongyu to be so stubborn.

In her mind, as long as she followed him into the Xia Garden and drank a few glasses of wine, she could do whatever she wanted, right?

That was why she dared to accept Dong Yiping's money and set up this game.

As a result, Xia Hongyu gave him a difficult question right away.

"Hongyu, how can you talk like that? How can Mr. Dong be a stranger? We are all friends! And it's just a glass of wine, why are you so stubborn?" Cheng Wen'er kept trying to persuade her.

But Xia Hongyu was a little annoyed.

She glanced at Cheng Wen'er and said slowly: "I said I don't drink. If you want to drink, you can drink with this Mr. Dong."

Cheng Wen'er was stunned by the retort.

At this time, Xia Hongyu stood up and said: "Sorry, I have something else to do. I won't accompany you anymore."

Even the dumbest girl would have noticed something was wrong at this moment.

Not to mention Xia Hongyu who was almost killed.

When she came, Cheng Wen'er kept saying that she was having dinner with a friend, but when she arrived, she found that this so-called friend was a man.

After entering the private room, the man insisted on toasting her.

There was obviously something fishy about this.

Seeing that she was leaving, Cheng Wen'er panicked.

She had already received Dong Yiping's money and even spent it all, but now the fish was about to be unhooked.

How could she let it go.

So she stood up and grabbed Xia Hongyu.

"Hongyu, listen to my explanation. It was indeed wrong for me to ask Mr. Dong to come without telling you, but I was also doing it for your own good. After all, you are now this age and should have been betrothed to someone long ago."

"To be honest, Mr. Dong fell in love with you when he first saw you. As long as you are willing, Mr. Dong is willing to take you as a concubine immediately. When you marry into the Dong family, you will have a good life, wouldn't it be better than now?"

In order to hold Xia Hongyu, Cheng Wen'er even brought out this set of rhetoric.

Unexpectedly, Xia Hongyu was even more ashamed and angry when she heard it.

"You said it so well, then you will marry him as a concubine?"

"I would like to, but Mr. Dong doesn't like me!" Cheng Wen'er said.

"Get out of here, I was blind before and met you as a friend. From now on, you and I are done."

Xia Hongyu was really angry, and shook off Cheng Wen'er's hand and was about to go out.

At this moment, Dong Yiping stepped forward and blocked the way.

"Get out of the way!" Xia Hongyu said coldly.

Dong Yiping smiled, "Miss Hongyu, what if I don't get out of the way?"

He stretched out his hand to touch Xia Hongyu's face.

"This little face is really..."

Before he finished speaking, Dong Yiping suddenly screamed, then covered his bleeding arm, and looked at Xia Hongyu in front of him in disbelief.

Xia Hongyu was holding a dagger, a little flustered, but looking at him very firmly.

"If you dare to touch me again, I will kill you."

"Bitch, you dare to hurt me!"

Dong Yiping was extremely angry.

His family was well-off, and his father was a merchant, so he had learned martial arts since he was a child. Although he was not very good at it, he had the strength of the second realm.

I didn't expect that he would be injured in the arm by a woman because of his carelessness. If this got out, wouldn't people laugh to death?

In a rage, he reached out to grab Xia Hongyu.

Xia Hongyu wanted to hide, but how could a weak woman be a match for a second-level warrior.

So Dong Yiping grabbed her arm.

"Aren't you pure and innocent? Then I'll fuck you here today, and I'll see what you have to say." Dong Yiping said angrily, and was about to take action.

But at this moment, his outstretched hand was suddenly grabbed from behind.

Then a calm voice came.

"You are so shameless to bully a weak woman."
