Chapter 4: Market Day and Friends
It must be said that the first level of the Strong Body Technique is truly remarkable. Not only does it possess the ability to automatically recover from injuries, but it also grants a strength of a thousand pounds, along with the capability to instantly move ten meters in any direction; however, moving downward is impossible, which can only be achieved upon reaching the second level of the Strong Body Technique
However, seeing that it was integrated with the door he had come out of, Jifeng speculated that it might have been his great-grandfather's shop in the past; otherwise, it would not have remained closed for such a long time
Ji Feng looked around and indeed found that there was only this one sandbank nearby. Next to the sandbank, there was a door, which seemed to lead to a shop, and it was the only shop in the vicinity. However, at this moment, the main door was tightly shut, clearly having been closed for quite some time, with the lock showing signs of rust.
Someone is getting married because they are pregnant, while I, at the same age, was dumped by a woman in the same week. What a frustrating society this is. Although everything here is quite good, it is still a place filled with my own sorrows. Even though I have no worries about food and drink, the property left by my ancestors cannot be casually given away to foreigners. In the time to come, I will gradually reclaim my own island.

It's nothing, my phone was stolen. I just went out to have fun and bought a new number. Please take note of it and also send me your numbers. Damn it, I curse the thief who stole my phone to never be able to perform in front of his wife.
Thinking of this, Jifeng couldn't help but slap his forehead, realizing how foolish he was. He had a computer at home, yet he hadn't thought to go online to contact his brothers first. Well, since he was already out, he might as well buy a mobile phone.
In front of a mirror in the bedroom, Ji Feng paused, gazing at the appearance of the room outside in the mirror. A thick layer of dust had accumulated, indicating it had not been cleaned for a long time. He couldn't help but let out a bitter smile, and with a thought, he returned to reality.
Returning to the hall, Ji Feng circled to the door at the back. This time, he pushed the door open with relative ease.
Unlike many of his peers who are avid fans of Apple products, Ji Feng has a particular fondness for Android. Coupled with his lack of ambition, he occasionally indulges in reading novels, which is why he remains loyal to this behemoth.
Returning to the hall, I calmed my emotions and turned to the left bedroom. There was no need to think about those items from the market for now; the things from the street stalls outside were enough for me to process for a while. Besides, it would be useless to buy more, as I had no place to store them and no way to utilize them.
Ji Feng quickly reached out to take it, while saying, "I dare not refuse such a generous gift. Thank you, Grandpa Tang. If you ever need me to run errands in the future, please feel free to ask."
First of all, congratulations. It wouldn't be a shotgun wedding, would it? Speaking of which, there isn't much time left until National Day.
Isn't this nonsense? My husband can just play around with it? It was just ordered last week
After searching for half a day, Ji Feng still could not determine the origin of this space. He decided to stop worrying about it. Since this Dragon Space now belonged to him, there was no need for him to study it so meticulously; it was sufficient for him to know what benefits it could bring him.
The wallet was placed back into the bag, and the other items were also present, but only the phone was removed. It seems that the massive device was taken by the two robbers.
Bang ... ... Boom
As the large tree by the edge of the forest fell to the ground, Ji Feng hummed a cheerful song as he returned to the courtyard
Hello, Grandfather. My great-grandfather has already passed away
Once again, congratulations. Rest assured, I will arrive on time. You can play on the computer for now, but please pay attention to maintaining a pleasant mood, as it is important to take good care of the fetus.
While curiously observing the market not far away, a sudden voice reached Ji Feng's ears. He quickly turned to look in the direction of the sound and saw an elderly man, appearing to be in his fifties or sixties, squatting on the ground and gazing at him. In front of him was a stall filled with various herbs, though Ji Feng recognized hardly any of them.
After waiting for a few seconds, the computer finally responded. Upon opening it, I realized that there were indeed quite a few people who cared about me. In addition to my three close friends, Leng Wuqing, Lin Enliang, and Mu Chuiyue, several former colleagues with whom I had a good relationship also inquired about why I had not been to the office. Later, I was directly dismissed by the company and the * library * for being absent without leave for a week.
After chatting with Peng Mingni for a few moments, Ji Feng quickly urged her to rest, as it was only nine o'clock in the evening. Although she used to stay up late, now that she is pregnant, things are different.
With a helpless shake of his head, Ji Feng returned to his bedroom to change into a clean outfit. After tossing the dirty clothes into the washing machine, he picked up his bag and left the house, carrying two large plastic bags in his hand, which contained the trash he had gathered, including several items belonging to his ex-girlfriend and some lingerie.
Withdrew 2,000 yuan in cash from the ATM not far from the community, hailed a taxi, and hurried to the nearest mobile service center. Having disappeared for such a long time, my brothers are probably worried.
Of course, it would be impossible to achieve such results merely by practicing for more than half a month. In the courtyard, he eats one fruit each day in rotation, and even gnaws on a ginseng root as thick as a child's arm that is grown underground. When he is thirsty, he runs to the nearby lake to drink some lake water. This not only keeps his energy levels high but also allows him to completely forget about the woman who has caused him so much sorrow while he focuses intently on his cultivation.
Having grown accustomed to the coolness of the bluestone slabs in the space, and with wooden flooring directly laid in the bedroom, Jifeng found himself somewhat unaccustomed to stepping on the old floor tiles at home
In just 17 days, Ji Feng truly entered the first level of the Strong Body Technique, and with only 60% of his strength, he could fell a giant tree with a single sweep of his hand
Nevertheless, even so, Ji Feng already felt quite satisfied. As for his own skills, although his martial arts were not particularly impressive, there is a saying that a single force can overcome ten skills. With the combination of speed and strength, an average person would definitely not be his opponent. What he lacked was merely experience in combat.
In recent years, I have not earned much money. Fortunately, my parents left me a street-facing shop, which brings in a considerable amount of rent each year. In the past, I did not have significant expenses, so I have saved up the rent from these past few years. Currently, I have over 300,000 in my bank account
For now, it is best to return and resolve the issue of the islands first. Ji Feng feels that this problem may not be so easily solved. Various countries have made substantial investments in these islands. Even if these islands belong to us, reclaiming them is certainly not a matter of mere words, and there will definitely be some disputes involved
Suddenly, a cacophony reached Ji Feng's ears, and before him appeared a scene reminiscent of a marketplace.
I purchased a newly released Samsung S4 at the service center, and conveniently opened a new phone card. After powering it on and checking that everything was in order, I swiped my card and left without a moment's hesitation, under the tender gaze of the young lady.
When was this booked? Is it still with Brother Guo?
Just after replying to my three close friends, I saw my colleague Peng Mingni had responded. "Jifeng, you won't be considering a drastic decision due to a breakup, will you? Haven't you always said that if one doesn't stay, there will be others who will? Besides, there are plenty of fish in the sea. Our colleague Jiang Yu has always liked you, and she recently resigned. She's been asking around about you. Why don't you two get together?"
Looking at the flickering avatar in the lower right corner, I picked up a soft cigarette from the desk, lit it, and took a deep drag.
Thinking of those five enormous islands, Ji Feng felt a surge of excitement. Each one of them is likely a priceless treasure. In the future, cultivating the land, raising livestock, and fishing there would be such a fulfilling life, a wonderful existence that even immortals would not trade away. Moreover, he could practice the ancestral strength technique left behind by his forefathers, find a suitable wife, and ultimately have as many children as he desires. After all, he must contribute to the continuation of the Ji family. It cannot be that the family line dwindles down to just one descendant. In the end, the wealth left by his ancestors would only benefit those countries that previously possessed it, which is absolutely unacceptable. We cannot lose face for our ancestors.
Upon hearing that the other party actually knew his great-grandfather, Ji Feng quickly lowered his stance. Despite appearing to be in his fifties or sixties, he was undoubtedly a centenarian. His great-grandfather had passed away several decades ago, so addressing him as "grandfather" would not be inappropriate.
After more than an hour, the entire house was cleaned by Ji Feng, appearing bright and quiet, yet there was no sense of fatigue. Stepping on some warm floor tiles, Ji Feng expressed his dissatisfaction and said, "I will replace you later."
After casually finding an excuse to respond to a few colleagues, I finally replied to my three close friends
Ah, I didn't expect Brother Ji to leave as well. I haven't seen him open the door for such a long time, and it made me think of it. Come here, Xiao Ji. Since you are Brother Ji's junior, Grandpa Tang will give you a small gift as a token of meeting. Take this little thing and play with it, as long as you don't mind it being a bit empty. As he spoke, the old man took out a ring that was neither gold nor jade from his pocket and handed it to Ji Feng.
After casually eating something at a small restaurant outside the community, Ji Feng hurried home, opened his computer, and logged onto QQ. Before he could even click on it, he heard the continuous sound of notifications, and the avatar in the lower right corner was flashing wildly.
The Strong Body Technique is indeed quite easy to cultivate. Even someone like Ji Feng, who had never heard of such a practice before, was able to grasp the basics after nearly half a month of training.
Feeling the immense power within his body and gazing at the thick trunk of the tree that had fallen before him, Ji Feng could not help but throw his head back and laugh heartily.
Alright, I am just saying this; whether it works out or not is up to you, as you are not unfamiliar with each other. I will be getting married during the National Day holiday, so remember to free up some time to celebrate with drinks. I won't be sending you a separate invitation.
You must be Young Master Ji, it has been a long time since Brother Ji last visited
After spending more than an hour exploring the market outside, Jifeng returned to the hall of the space. The entire market, from ancient times to the present and into the foreseeable future, offers almost everything imaginable; there is nothing you cannot buy, only things you may not think of.
First, pick up the bag that fell on the ground and throw it onto the sofa, then take a cloth to the bathroom to wash it, intending to tidy up the house.
He picked up his bag and took out his wallet. Upon seeing that, apart from a few coins, there was only cash left, he noticed that all his bank cards were intact, which made him feel a sense of relief.
After chatting with Old Master Tang for a while, I simply let him manage the closed shop, as Ji Feng did not intend to stay here for the long term
As he walked around to the front of the hundred or so ginseng plants at hetushucomcom, he saw that the ginseng he had previously pulled out had indeed sprouted new shoots. He couldn't help but nod slightly and entered the hall with a smile.
This is also a manifestation of entering the first level of the Strong Body Technique; otherwise, it would be impossible to return on one's own. However, now that I have attained the first level of the Strong Body Technique, it will be much more convenient to enter and exit the Divine Dragon Space in the future
Old Tang chuckled and said, "Xiao Ji, you don't need to be polite with me. Back in the day, I was your grandfather's best friend; otherwise, I wouldn't have set up the stall right at your doorstep."
Thank you, Sister Ni Ni. I am not so desperate as to seek an end to my life over a fickle woman. I just had my phone stolen after drinking too much, and I returned to the countryside, having been offline for more than half a month. It would be better not to harm a young girl like Jiang Yu; let her be with someone more suitable for her. It is hard to bring myself to take action against her.
It was precisely during this process of merely pursuing the basics that Ji Feng gradually spent 17 days; otherwise, there would not have been a single person to talk to, and the entire space was so quiet that even breathing could be heard, which would have surely driven Ji Feng to despair
You are not an outsider; you really guessed it right. I noticed right after you resigned. I wanted to end it, but then I thought about my age and my family's disapproval. Forget it, let's just get married.
Even the skin on the palm that was scraped by the tree trunk, before any blood could ooze out, automatically healed completely, and the pain felt was less than a second.
The house is a three-bedroom, two-living room, two-bathroom unit purchased by my parents after the year 2000, covering an area of over 140 square meters. At that time, such a house was considered quite spacious.
This new feature was discovered on the fourth day of Ji Feng's stay. The plants in the space seem to grow at an extraordinary rate. Although he does not know when these ginseng were planted, in the very first hole he dug, new shoots surprisingly sprouted again. In less than half a month, they have already grown to over 30 centimeters tall. Ji Feng couldn't help but secretly admire the creator of this divine dragon space, who truly is exceptional.
This kind of concern from others finally allowed Ji Feng to find a sense of warmth and familiarity, realizing that he had not been forgotten and that there were still people who remembered him
