"It's so late, how come the host Qian is here? Is there something urgent to ask for?" Liu Ming asked in surprise when he saw the person in the house.
This person is Qian Chao, the owner of the Qian Mansion.
"Mr. Qian, the reason why Qian came here is actually good news. The ice silver grass my husband asked for, my buddy finally bought one from other shops, but I have to ask him to check it out in person. , See if it really applies?" Qian Chao immediately got up and said with a smile on his face.
"This is serious, Gan Mou really needs to take a look first." Liu Ming was naturally overjoyed when he heard this.
Qian Chao then took out a wooden box from his sleeve and handed it over with a smile.
Liu Ming took the wooden box and opened it as soon as it opened. A pale silver clover grass was suddenly revealed inside, with a hint of chill faintly exuding the surface.
Seeing this, Liu Ming flashed a somewhat solemn color in his eyes, a flash of light in the middle of his hand, and a few inches of silver needle flashed out.
Liu Ming held the wooden box in one hand, pinched the silver needle with two fingers in the other hand, and pierced down a certain leaf on the Lingcao.
"Ziyou" sounded.
The moment the silver needle pierced through the pale silver leaf, a chill rushed through Liu Ming's fingers through the silver needle.
After Liu Ming's finger blurred, he withdrew the silver needle from the spirit grass and glanced in front of him.
I saw that the first half of the silver needle was completely covered by a layer of faint hoar frost.
"Yes, this is ice silver grass that has been in the fire for at least fifty years. It is enough to treat my niece. This time, the rich proprietor has bothered, and I will accept it without hesitation." Liu Ming looked at it. After clearing the scene on the silver needle, he said with a relaxed expression, and at the same time the silver needle flashed and disappeared between his fingers.
"Hehe, as long as this spirit grass is really useful. This thing was originally the life-saving reward that the lady promised, and it can only be found now. Originally, I still had to apologize to the husband." Qian Chao said with a smile.
"Dongzhu Qian is too polite. Doing a shot at the beginning was just a matter of convenience." Liu Ming said modestly. After re-covering the wooden box, he carefully put away the ice silver grass. .
"Actually, Qian came here this time and he has something else to say, but he didn't know that he should have said it improperly." Qian Chao couldn't help smiling more when Liu Ming took the wooden box away.
"Oh, you might as well speak up if Dongzhu Qian has something to say." Liu Ming heard this, his mind quickly turned, but his expression remained unchanged on his face.
"I heard Mrs. Qian say that Mr. Qian also knows a little bit about us, but I don't know what the husband thinks?" Qian Chao asked with a straight face.
"What Dongzhu Qian meant..." Liu Ming asked with narrowed eyes.
"Sir, I know from Mr. Mian that Mr. Qian is not only good at mana, but also not even capable of medical skills. Mr. Bailingju is thirsty for talents like Mr. Qian. So Qian came here in person this time, I intend to formally invite Mr. Bailing to become one of Bailing's guests. All expenses are comparable to the highest treatment." Qian Chao said frankly and directly.
"Join Bailingju? I am afraid that this will disappoint the owner of Qian, and I have no intention of this yet." Liu Ming frowned upon hearing this.
"Why is this? As a casual cultivator, since he intends to live in Xuanjing for a long time, I am afraid it will be a matter of time before he joins a certain force in Xuanjing. Qian is not boasting. It is one of the best, but it is also enough to make it into the top five. As long as the husband joins Bailingju, not only will there be a lot of spiritual stone worship every month, but also if there are any scarce pill utensils, this Ju can also All help to collect. And Benju’s restrictions on Keqing are very loose. If Keqing thinks the task assigned is too dangerous, there is a possibility of fall, and they must have the right to refuse. Qian will not let Keqing do something. It's impossible to accomplish things. After all, in essence, I wait for such a force to worship the guests and mostly use it for threats and deterrence. There are actually not too many opportunities for the guests to do it themselves." Qian Chao was not surprised at all. Instead, said with a smile.
"Since Qian Dongzhu is so sincere, he doesn't hide underneath, what can I say. I have heard about Bailingju's guest treatment from fellow Mian Daoist, and it is indeed not bad. Therefore, he refused to agree. The worry is that Bailingju now seems to have provoke a major enemy, otherwise it would not even be that Mrs. Ling and the son would be robbed and killed near Xuanjing. Ganmou came to Xuanjing this time. When dealing with personal matters, I don't want to be involved in some troubles, so as not to involve most of my energy." Liu Ming slowly replied.
"That's the case. It seems that Mr. Qian is still not very optimistic about our current situation at Bailingju. If this is the case, Mr. Qian doesn't have to worry too much. In fact, Qian has found out who is behind all recent hostilities against Bailingju. This is exactly what Benju’s opponent, Jubaolou, did. As the saying goes, good colleagues are enemies. In addition, the combined business of our two companies may be enough to occupy about 20-30% of Xuanjing’s cultivation resources. Naturally, they are always fighting. Yes. I myself and Mu Studios, the treasurer of Jubaolou, also have deep hatreds. But even so, after so many years, our two families are not one and can't help each other. Of course, there are reasons for the small difference in strength, but the most important thing is The reason is that there are other backers behind our two families, and it is impossible to let either of them fall. Therefore, my husband does not have to worry about these problems that Bailingju is encountering now. As long as the auction meeting is successfully held next month, Benju will be there. The ability is overpowering the treasure building, and I believe that the other party will not dare to provoke me in a few years." Qian Chao suddenly explained in detail.
"Is there a backer? You can still be called a backer by the power of your house? I think it must be someone with a lot of background. I don't know if the proprietor Qian can tell one or two things clearly?" Liu Ming asked in surprise after hearing this. One sentence.
"This is naturally no problem. In fact, Xuanjing's big and small forces must have some background, otherwise how can they truly establish a foothold in Xuanjing. And because our Bailingju and Jubaolou are doing business with foreigners, they are backing. Everyone knows who it is, and there is no need to conceal anything. The person behind us, Bailingju, is actually the brother of the current emperor, the "Three Princes". Yes. The backing of Jubaolou is the current Nine Princes, but unlike the original residence, the big treasurer Mu Studios is actually just the slave of the Nine Princes, and the entire Jubaolou is simply the private property of the Nine Princes. No matter how hard our two fights, it will never be possible for one to defeat the other. Our backers will not allow this to happen." Qian Chao solemnly said.
"Three princes, could it be the third prince who assisted the present emperor ascended the throne twenty years ago, and has always been known as a virtuous king?" Liu Ming's heart was shocked, but he asked without showing the slightest color on his face.
"Oh, I didn't expect Mr. Qian to listen to the name of the three princes back then. This is much easier. It is true that this virtuous king is true. I wonder if Mr. Qian has changed his mind and is willing to become a native guest?" Qian Chao Asked a little unexpectedly.
"Since Bailingju’s troubles are only temporary, and there is a virtuous king behind the three princes, if Gan Mou still speaks out, I am afraid that he will really offend the money proprietor. I can agree to join Bailingju, but in There are still two conditions before this, I hope the proprietor can agree to it." Liu Ming said slowly after a moment of indulgence.
"Mr. Qian has any conditions, just mention it." Qian Chao asked hurriedly when he heard the words.
"First, I joined Bailingju as a guest clerk, and it can only be a matter of staying in Xuanjing. If one day leaves Xuanjing, this guest clerk status will naturally be invalidated. But the host can rest assured that I will be in Xuanjing. At least two or three years, as many as five or six years. Second, I am paid as a guest of Bailingju. In addition to the monthly spiritual stone worship, I also plan to learn some alchemy. So I hope Guiju can recommend me to a certain An alchemy master learns some alchemy methods. Of course, I also know that real great alchemists generally don’t accept disciples at all, but what I want is only a recommendation from Bailingju, and I have my own way to persuade the other party. However, Guiju gave it to you. The alchemist introduced must have profound knowledge in alchemy and be able to refine the pills used by spiritual masters and above." Liu Ming said slowly.
"What, Mr. Gan wants to learn alchemy?" Liu Ming said, apparently surprised Qian Chao.
"Why, can't you study here?" Liu Ming raised his eyebrows when he heard the words.
"Of course it is not. It's just that although I am not a spiritualist, I also know that the art of alchemy is almost the most difficult technique for a cultivator. There are almost few cultivators who can really spend time learning this technique. But Mr. Ruozhen If you are interested in alchemy, we at Bailingju really have had some contacts with several alchemists, and we can help recommend one or two. However, alchemists who can refine the elixir of spiritual masters and above are rare even in the major sects. Yes. In Xuanjing’s words, I’m afraid there is only one person with this ability. However, this master alchemy master has a very strange temper. Although Benju has dealt with him several times and helped him auction off his medicine several times, it is true. I'm not so sure that he would agree to give instructions to Mr. Jian's alchemy." Qian Chao replied hesitantly.
"It doesn't matter, as long as Dongzhu Qian can let him meet the master at one side, and let him handle the matter of learning alchemy by himself." Liu Ming listened, but he was refreshed.
"Well, if that's the case, Qian can agree to these two conditions." This time, Qian Chao just thought about it for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and agreed.
"Then Ganming will worship the proprietor again." Liu Ming smiled slightly, and bowed slightly towards the money.
