The golden-billed eagle circled around Qinglian Mountain and landed at the foot of the mountain.
Wang Changsheng and seven others jumped off the back of the golden-beaked eagle one after another, and Wang Yaozong put the golden-beaked eagle back into the spirit beast bag.
Before they had gone far, Wang Changyue ran down the mountain, his face red, followed by Wang Minglong and Wang Mingfeng.
"Brother, you are finally back."
Wang Changyue threw herself into Wang Changsheng's arms, her little face full of joy.
Wang Changsheng pinched Wang Changyue's chubby cheeks, frowned and said, "At this time, the lecture hall hasn't ended yet! Did you skip class?"
"I didn't skip class. My mother and the others were working too hard picking mulberry leaves. My eighth uncle asked us to deliver sour plum soup to my mother."
"Chang Yue, come to grandpa. Grandpa bought you spiritual honey and mung bean cakes, which are your favorite sweets."
Wang Yaozu showed a kind smile on his face and took out an oil paper bag.
"Lingmi? Mung bean cake?"
Wang Changyue's eyes lit up, and he quickly ran to Wang Yaozu and took the oil paper bag.
She opened the oil paper package, revealing several pieces of green pastry.
She turned around and handed the pastry to Wang Minglong and Wang Mingfeng: "Uncle Thirty-five, Aunt Thirty-six, here, this is the mung bean cake that grandpa bought for me."
Wang Minglong and Wang Mingfeng were not polite, each took a piece of mung bean cake and started eating it.
"Okay, you go back to the lecture hall and listen to the lecture! You should listen carefully in class and don't always think about eating."
Wang Yaozong waved his hand and ordered.
"Yes, Er Bo Gong (Second Uncle)."
Wang Changyue and the other three walked up the mountain while eating mung bean cakes.
In the evening, Wang Mingyuan's family of four gathered together for dinner. Wang Changsheng briefly talked about his experience during this period.
Wang Mingyuan showed approval and said with a smile: "Sheng'er, you did a good job. If you didn't tell me, I almost forgot. Chen Changming hasn't shown up for at least five years. Something must have happened. This matter is not urgent. The Chen family Such a large family fortune cannot be escaped. I will send people to keep an eye on the Chen family. The current top priority is to build the foundation of Changfeng. In addition, cooperation with the Wang family is also very important. You should leave as soon as possible and don’t be late to avoid It will leave a bad impression on the Wang family.”
"I got it, Dad, I'll leave tomorrow. By the way, Mom, are you busy enough to come over? Are the mulberry leaves picked enough for the golden silkworms to eat?"
"It's enough to eat. It would be great if Changxue was here. This girl is a good hand. I don't know how she is doing in Wei."
"Yes! Dad, how is the second sister doing in Wei? How is she doing now?"
Wang Mingyuan hesitated for a moment and sighed: "Changxue is missing. Your uncle has gone to Wei State to investigate in person. I hope Changxue is safe and sound."
Wang Changsheng frowned and said in surprise: "What? The second sister is missing? When did this happen?"
"A year ago, your sixth uncle went to Bailong Valley in Wei State to visit Changxue. He never thought that he could not find Wang Changxue in Bailing Tower. According to the memories of other cooks in Bailing Tower, Changxue had not been to Bailing Tower for several months. They also I thought Changxue had left Bailong Valley, and your uncle has already led people to investigate. I hope Changxue is okay."
Wang Mingyuan said this, but he actually didn't have any hope in his heart.
Wang Changxue was doing a good job in Bailing Tower, but he suddenly disappeared. It was probably an accident.
Wang Changsheng frowned. If Wang Changfeng succeeded in establishing the foundation, he planned to bring Wang Changxue back, but at this time, Wang Changxue disappeared.
"Changxue Jiren has her own destiny, she will be fine."
Liu Qing'er comforted.
Wang Changyue blinked and asked curiously: "Dad, brother, why haven't I seen the second sister?"
"Second sister has temporarily left Qinglian Mountain for some reason. You were not there at that time!"
Wang Changsheng thought for a while and then said: "Dad, after reaching an agreement with the Wang family, I will go to the White Dragon Valley myself! The second sister disappeared for no reason. I will not go to investigate and feel uneasy."
Wang Changsheng was full of respect for his cousin Wang Changxue, and from the bottom of his heart he did not want anything to happen to his cousin.
"Well, you can go take a look, but be careful in your investigation. If you find anything, don't make it public."
Wang Mingyuan warned solemnly.
"Don't worry! Dad, I know how to do it."
The next morning, Wang Changsheng had breakfast and left Qinglian Mountain on his green scale horse, flying towards Yunzhou.
…
More than a month later, Wang Changsheng arrived at Baiyun Ridge.
When he arrived at Baiyunling, it happened to be the day to meet and negotiate with the Wang family.
He ignored rest and went straight to Baiyun Tower.
Baiyun Tower is the largest teahouse in Baiyun Valley. Some cultivators who like to drink tea like to go to Baiyun Tower to sip tea and chat.
When he arrived at Baiyun Tower, Wang Changsheng inquired with the waiter. The waiter took him to a private room on the third floor, knocked on the door gently, and said respectfully: "Senior Wang, your friend is here."
"I understand, go down! Fellow Daoist Wang, come in!"
Wang Ruyan's voice came from inside the room.
Wang Changsheng pushed open the door, walked in, and closed the door.
The room was elegantly decorated, and Wang Ruyan was sitting at the tea table. There was a pot of spiritual tea and two plates of snacks on the tea table.
Wang Ruyan was wearing a blue dress with no moon pattern on it, as if she didn't want people to recognize her identity.
There was a soundproof array in the corner, and Wang Ruyan hit a magic spell on the soundproof array.
With a flash of white light, a white mask appeared on the wall, and the noise outside suddenly disappeared.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, we agreed to meet here at three quarters, but now it's already You hour. You should give me an explanation!"
Wang Ruyan frowned and said, listening to his tone, he was very dissatisfied with Wang Changsheng's lateness.
Wang Changsheng hugged Wang Ruyan and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Fairy Wang, I was delayed on the way. I'll punish myself with three cups. How about it?"
Wang Ruyan waved his hand and said seriously: "No need, fellow Daoist Wang, sit down and let's talk about business! Do you, the Wang family, want to cooperate with our Wang family?"
After hearing this, Wang Changsheng looked troubled and said: "Fairy Wang, you can't refine a second-order low-grade puppet beast with the four materials. A second-order low-grade puppet beast will take at least half a year to refine. I only earned two hundred spiritual stones in half a year, so I can’t do this business!”
Naturally, Wang Changsheng would not tell the truth to Wang Ruyan. He wanted to fight for the interests of the Wang family as much as possible.
Wang Ruyan had done a lot of homework before coming. Although she didn't know much about the difficulty of making a second-level puppet beast, she wouldn't believe Wang Changsheng's words.
She pondered for a moment and said: "Fellow Daoist Wang, I asked the second-level puppet master. He said that you can refine a second-level puppet beast with three materials. I will give you four materials. Our Wang family has already made it." The biggest concession is two hundred spiritual stones, which is quite a lot. You know, ordinary casual cultivators working as helpers can't earn more than one hundred spiritual stones a year."
Both of them refused to give in, and both wanted to gain more benefits for their families.
After talking for more than three hours and changing the tea twice, the two finally reached an agreement.
The Wang family provides materials to the Wang family. Five materials are exchanged for a second-order low-grade puppet beast. For each second-order low-grade puppet beast, the Wang family pays the Wang family two hundred and fifty spiritual stones. The Wang family must give the Wang family more than three second-order low-grade puppet beasts every year. The puppet beast, the Wang family gives the Wang family ten kilograms of diluted Xuanyin spiritual water every year.
Although some benefits are missing, it is not a loss to get ten kilograms of diluted Xuanyin Spiritual Water every year.
Although it is diluted Xuanyin Spiritual Water, if you take out ten kilograms every year, it will be two hundred kilograms in twenty years. Where did the Wang family get so much Xuanyin Spiritual Water? From Wang Ruyan's tone, it seemed that the Wang family had a lot of diluted Xuanyin spirit stones. Wang Changsheng asked tentatively, and Wang Ruyan smiled and said nothing.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, I wonder what materials are needed to refine the second-level puppet beast? I want to send someone to prepare it. Let's make it clear first that our Wang family also knows the second-level puppet master. You don't want to ask for additional refining materials. "
Wang Changsheng smiled slightly and said: "Fairy Wang, don't worry, I am still honest. After gathering the materials, send them to Lingpuppet Pavilion in Baiyun Valley!"
He took out a piece of letter paper and handed it to Wang Ruyan.
Wang Ruyan glanced around, a look of satisfaction appeared in his beautiful eyes, raised the teacup, and said with a smile: "Friend Wang, we wish you a happy cooperation."
Wang Changsheng raised his teacups and clinked them with each other, smiling and saying, "It's a pleasure to cooperate."
