Several pieces of good quality jade, and some small gadgets that can be used when researching chemical reagents.
It was a great harvest.
"By the way, Miss Anne, you just said this shop belongs to your father, right? If there are any similar jade pieces in the future, could you leave them for me? As long as the quality is good enough, I'll take them all."
Su Feng explained it casually.
Annie was dumbfounded throughout the whole process. How rich was this person who could spend tens of thousands of dollars without even blinking?
You should know that one silver dollar is enough to feed a poor family for a week.
And so, amidst surprise and curiosity, Annie packed up the goods and watched Su Feng leave.
She seemed to have forgotten what she had wanted to ask, and didn't have time to find out anything about Su Feng's address...
All that could be seen was that tall, imposing figure walking away gracefully, disappearing into the distance.
"Annie, what are you doing standing there like an idiot in the doorway?"
The voice behind her interrupted Annie's thoughts, and she quickly shook her head, "It's nothing, it's nothing!"
Annie's father, Wang Sanyang, came out of the inner room and stood in front of the mirror, adjusting his clothes as he instructed, "The town's security has been a bit tense lately, so don't wander around. Stay home and watch the shop..."
"I understand..." Annie pursed her lower lip, not wanting her father to see her blushing face. "Dad, are you going on a long trip?"
“Well, I might be away from home for a few days,” Wang Sanyang said, walking to the door with his cane after confirming that his attire was appropriate. “A General Xu has invited me to his house to appraise some antiques. You stay home obediently.”
"Okay, Dad." Annie nodded, gave her father a big hug, and watched him get into the carriage and leave.
But... what she didn't know was...
This will be the last time I see my father…

Chapter 169 Visiting Second Uncle! Obtaining an Unknown Scripture!
Our trip to Jiuquan Town has come to an end.
With a bountiful harvest, Su Feng bid farewell to Uncle Jiu and the others before boarding the carriage to return home.
Chen Yue and Chen Xing seemed a little reluctant to leave this place, as they had created many memories here during these few days.
Although Su Feng didn't have time to accompany them sightseeing most of the time, the local food, atmosphere, and various advanced entertainment facilities made them linger.
Returning to the relatively underdeveloped Renjia Town, I felt somewhat out of place.
Su Feng did not return directly to the banana grove, but went back to the Su residence first.
He had been away for so long and hadn't paid much attention to things at home. He couldn't possibly leave all the troublesome matters to Uncle Fu to handle alone.
He also brought back some souvenirs from this trip.
Everything in the Su residence was the same as before, well-organized under Uncle Fu's management, which made Su Feng feel a little nostalgic.
"Master, you are back."
Uncle Fu walked out of the hall and greeted people in a calm manner, as usual.
After some time apart, Uncle Fu's mental state had improved considerably; he walked with a brisk pace and didn't look like he was in his fifties or sixties at all.
Su Feng was somewhat relieved; it seemed the talisman he had given earlier had worked.
"I just came back to drop off some things and then take a look around... By the way, how's that shipment I ordered coming along?"
Su Feng remembered the advanced equipment he had ordered from Wen Ya, which would be delivered to the Su residence first when it was transported.
Uncle Fu nodded. "We received news that it should arrive by the end of the month."
That's actually quite fast.
"Didn't Chenyue and Chenxing come back with the young master?" Uncle Fu looked around a few times, but didn't see the two sisters.
Su Feng smiled and waved his hand, "They've already gone back to the banana grove. I'll be back later too."
"Young Master is so busy, you should take better care of yourself." Uncle Fu was as talkative as ever.
But Su Feng wasn't offended. In fact, he felt it was a blessing to have an elder care about him so much.
After chatting with Uncle Fu for a while, Su Feng went back to his room, packed up some things he needed, and handed over the souvenirs he had bought from Jiuquan Town to Uncle Fu.
They are not luxury items, but rather furniture that can be used in daily life.
I thought it looked interesting, so I bought it.
After finishing these tasks, it was getting late, so Su Feng prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Uncle Fu gave a reminder.
"Young master, if you have time, you could visit your second great-uncle. He hasn't been feeling well lately..."
If it weren't for Uncle Fu mentioning it, Su Feng would have almost forgotten.
Yes, he hasn't visited his second great-uncle for a while since the incident with Ma Linxiang.
093 "Understood. I happen to have some free time now, so I'll go take a look later."
No matter what, his second uncle was his first "teacher" when he embarked on his path of cultivation, and the first few scriptures were given to him by his second uncle.
He still remembered this kindness.
After leaving the Su residence, Su Feng went directly to the small house where his second uncle lived.
It was as quiet as ever, but as I stepped into the courtyard, I heard a violent cough coming from inside the house.
Su Feng hurriedly went in and saw his second uncle sitting on the edge of the bed, covering his mouth, patting his chest, coughing and gasping for breath.
Despite this, after coughing, he still grabbed the liquor next to him and took a few sips.
"Second Uncle, you're in this state and you're still drinking."
Su Feng stepped forward and gently took the wine bottle from his second uncle's hand.
The second uncle was pleasantly surprised by Su Feng's arrival, and could not hide the joy on his face. "Oh, just one sip, just one sip."
Su Feng knew that his second uncle had no other hobbies but drinking. The stronger the alcohol, the more he liked it. It was a long-standing habit he had developed over the years.
But given Second Uncle's current health condition, we can't afford to spoil him like this anymore.
"You need to get well first, then I'll bring you some good wine."
"Good wine?" Upon hearing about wine, the second uncle's eyes lit up instantly. "It's not one of those imported wines, is it? I don't like those."
"I know you're picky, but I'll make sure you're satisfied..." Su Feng smiled helplessly and hid the wine bottle behind the cabinet.
I helped my second uncle to the dining table and then gently helped him sit down.
After not seeing him for a while, Su Feng felt that his second uncle looked much lighter.
Perhaps due to his deteriorating health, the second uncle had become quite thin; half of his body combined was not as heavy as one of Su Feng's thighs.
This made Su Feng feel a little sorry for her.
"Cough cough cough-"
As soon as he sat down, his second uncle started coughing.
“I know what you mean. Don’t worry about this old man. At my age, I’ve become indifferent to everything.”
Second Uncle looked calm, but the more composed he was, the more Su Feng couldn't leave him alone.
"Second Uncle, please sit down and don't move."
"Hey, hey, Xiaofeng, what are you doing?"
Before his second uncle could react, Su Feng circled around behind him and took out several silver needles from his sleeve.
"It might sting a little, but please don't move it unnecessarily, Second Uncle."
Upon noticing a wisp of spiritual energy, Su Feng immediately recognized the abnormality in his second uncle's body.
People often develop bad habits in their later years, and my second uncle's bad habit was excessive drinking. Coupled with his lack of self-control when he was young, his body was severely damaged.
As a result, in their later years, even a minor cold or flu would lead to other complications...
Inside the Second Uncle's body, there was clearly a cloud of black energy, which was attached to organs such as the lungs and liver.
Having found the source of the illness, Su Feng did not hesitate for long and directly used acupuncture to insert needles into the acupoints on his second uncle's back.
Utilizing the various medical techniques previously gleaned from the scriptures, and combining them with my own...
The "Eight Divine Needles" are acupuncture performed by applying needles to eight acupoints: Gongsun, Neiguan, Linqi, Waiguan, Houxi, Shenmai, Lieque, and Zhaohai.
It dispels cold, protects the body, calms the mind, gathers qi, and also invigorates blood circulation, improves eyesight, and nourishes the body.
"Oh my—" Second Uncle felt a tingling sensation on his back, followed by waves of heat spreading throughout his body from the acupuncture site.
In an instant, the chest tightness that had bothered him for days disappeared, his lungs felt clear, and the itching and pain in his throat vanished!
"Alright." Su Feng used his spiritual energy to gently remove the silver needle.
Half of the needle had turned completely black, which meant that the effect was significant and that all the black energy in Uncle Er's body had been absorbed.
"I didn't expect you to know medicine, Xiaofeng!" Second Uncle felt refreshed and stood up to stretch a couple of times. "It's really amazing! My hands and feet aren't sore anymore, and I'm not tired at all!"
"Second Uncle, you flatter me. I only offered a small amount of help."
"You're really being modest." Second Uncle chuckled as he sat down again, then carefully examined Su Feng from head to toe. "I've heard quite a bit about you from the town mayor lately..."
From handling Ren Fa's relocation of his remains to dealing with matters between him and the warlords of Shuilian Town, he still heard news from many people even though he rarely left his home.
While she was pleasantly surprised and pleased by Su Feng's growth and changes, she was also somewhat worried.
This has led to too much involvement with the outside world, which is not a good thing.
"Don't blame Second Uncle for being long-winded, but it's best to keep some abilities hidden. The more you flaunt them, the easier it is to attract disaster," Second Uncle said meaningfully.
Su Feng naturally understood this principle.
Just like how wealth should not be flaunted.
"Second Uncle, please rest assured, I know what I'm doing."
