Chapter 199 Qinggong [3rd Update, Asking for Monthly Votes]
Among the three, Cheng Yazhou actually felt the most anger and had the most complex feelings.
Not only had Ge Dongxu saved his life, but his son's progress and the brilliant heights his career had reached today were also all thanks to Ge Dongxu.
If anyone among the three was most grateful to Ge Dongxu, it would definitely be Cheng Yazhou.
But it just so happened that Cao Dapeng was someone he had introduced!
One could imagine the anger and complexity in Cheng Yazhou's heart at that moment.
"I think that's it, damn Cao Dapeng, I really was blind!" Cheng Yazhou said with a face ashen.
After speaking, he stood up again, his face filled with guilt, and said to Ge Dongxu, "I'm sorry, Dongxu, it was my poor judgment of character that caused…"
"Uncle Cheng, don't say that. Business is business, and what happened on the plane is another matter altogether. You shouldn't confuse the two. But luckily, the incident on the plane not only showed us Cao Dapeng's true character but also revealed another way to make money," Ge Dongxu quickly interrupted.
"Right, right, Dongxu's brain is just sharp. Although we saw a huge amount of packaging before, we never thought about investing in a packaging factory ourselves. With our own Qinghe Herbal Tea as a major client, this factory is guaranteed to be profitable!" Wu Qianjin, knowing Cheng Yazhou's complex feelings, immediately followed with a laugh.
"What do Uncle Cheng and Professor Tang think? Do you agree with investing in a packaging factory? If you agree, I think we should also set up a new company," Ge Dongxu seized the opportunity to shift the topic to investing in the factory.
As for the matter of Cao Dapeng, there was actually no need to discuss it further at this point. Cheng Yazhou and the others naturally knew how to handle it. Talking more about it would only irritate Cheng Yazhou and embarrass him.
After all, Cao Dapeng was his introduction.
"I think it's a good idea to move Yaxu Trademark Factory over and establish Yaxu Printing and Packaging Company," Wu Qianjin agreed.
"In that case, on the matter of printing and packaging, Uncle Cheng and Uncle Wu, you are familiar with it, so you two prepare. As for the factory location, I think we still choose Changxi County. After all, Changxi County's printing and packaging are well known nationwide. You have the final say on the exact location, then negotiate with the local government. If they offer a discount, that's fine; if not, let's not force it. After all, it's right for our profits to contribute back to society," Ge Dongxu immediately decided.
"Okay, let's distribute the shares like Qinghe Herbal Tea. You sixty percent, Yazhou twenty percent, and Qianjin and I each ten percent," Tang Yiyuan nodded.
Cheng Yazhou and Wu Qianjin also nodded in agreement.
After finalizing the establishment of Yaxu Printing and Packaging Company, the four chatted in the study for a while. Considering that Ge Dongxu had to go to school the next day, around ten-thirty, Tang Yiyuan and the others stood up to say goodbye and left.
After Tang Yiyuan and the others had left, Ge Dongxu washed up and it was almost the hour of the rat.
Ge Dongxu went to the balcony connected to his cultivation room and took out pieces of Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jade.
Now that Ge Dongxu was not short of money and had a high level of cultivation, he purchased many Jade Tokens through Tang Yahui and took advantage of his spare time to carve a number of Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jades for future use.
However, these Spirit Gathering Formation Talismans Jade had not been activated, or as generally called "consecrated," so there was no loss.
Ge Dongxu infused True Qi and activated a piece of Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jade one by one, totaling seven pieces.
He then arranged them in specific positions, sat down with closed eyes to feel the effects, and discovered, indeed, after his breakthrough to the Sixth Layer of Qi Cultivation, the seven pieces of Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jade could no longer meet his cultivation needs.
Thus, Ge Dongxu activated one more piece and then closed his eyes to feel again.
"Huh, why is there no change? That shouldn't be!" Ge Dongxu felt it for a while and found that the spiritual energy had not changed, feeling quite astonished, he then consecutively activated two more pieces. Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire
This brought the total of Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jade to ten pieces, but he still did not notice any change in spiritual energy.
"What's going on?" Ge Dongxu could not understand this phenomenon, as previously each additional piece of Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jade would enhance the gathering effect, but now there was no change at all.
However, since midnight was the best time for cultivation, Ge Dongxu, unable to figure it out momentarily, did not continue to ponder deeply but instead sat cross-legged to circulate his True Qi and solidify his cultivation.
Midnight soon passed, Ge Dongxu concluded his practice, picked up the Talisman Jade and saw very obvious cracks on it, knowing that with the advancement of his cultivation, these Talisman Jades were operating at full capacity and wearing out especially fast.
Although Ge Dongxu was not short of money and therefore did not mind the wear of these Talisman Jades, what troubled him now was that beyond seven pieces, the concentration of gathered spiritual energy no longer changed, which would affect the progress of his cultivation.
"Why does the Taiyin Spirit Gathering Formation Talisman Jade stop changing after seven pieces?" Ge Dongxu packed up the Talisman Jade while walking back to his cultivation room, pondering over this.
"Could it be that the concentration of spiritual energy in the Spirit Gathering Formation also has a saturation solubility like substances in a chemical solution? Yes, that must be it. I need to buy higher-quality Jade and carve higher-level Spirit Gathering Formations to further increase the 'solubility' of spiritual energy." As he thought, Ge Dongxu started to consider physical and chemical knowledge, then suddenly slapped his forehead and burst into a happy laughter.
He increasingly realized that the path of cultivation was also a science, and it shared many commonalities with natural sciences. After all, the path of cultivation originally involves the natural order of heaven and earth, which is what natural science studies as well.
With this realization, Ge Dongxu was not in a hurry to sleep. He first reviewed his chemistry textbook about solubility, confirming his conjecture, then began searching online for the principles of airplane take-off.
Upon reading, Ge Dongxu was struck as if by lightning, stunned for a while, then suddenly burst into loud laughter, stood up, lightly tapped his foot on the ground, and his entire body lifted off the ground, gliding directly about four or five meters through the air.
This type of gliding wasn't like that of a running long jump, but a genuine hovering flight, extremely graceful, just like watching martial arts experts lightly tap and soar into the air in movies.
"Haha, indeed, according to Bernoulli's Theorem, just by releasing True Qi outside the body, splitting it in two, keeping it flat below and convex above, and suddenly accelerating it, a pressure difference will occur due to different air flow speeds above and below, thereby generating an ascending force." Ge Dongxu, seeing he indeed mastered qinggong, felt extremely elated.
Next, Ge Dongxu continued to "fly on the walls" in the room, but eventually, the limited space of the room made it somewhat unsatisfying.
So, he simply left the room, walked to the balcony, then lightly tapped with the tip of his foot, and like a large bird slicing through the sky, he slowly landed in the yard.
Luckily, it was already past one in the morning, pitch dark and in the middle of winter, so no one witnessed this scene which otherwise would surely have frightened someone sick.
