That night, after cleaning up the battlefield, the Qi family could finally sleep peacefully.
Amidst the numerous thanks from Qi Huanfeng and the other three, Ye Li returned to his room in the backyard.
Recently, he has been trying to practice using the power of the talisman to absorb more of the spiritual energy here, to see if he can increase the power of the talisman after adapting for a period of time.
Once he is able to increase the power of the talisman, it means that his ability to capture and gather spiritual energy has made great progress.
For him, this will not only be useful here, but will also continue to be effective after he leaves this continent.
After all, if his ability to gather spiritual energy is improved, then when he leaves this continent, the power of the talismans he uses will also increase.
Another three days passed, and Qi Tianping came to the backyard and found Ye Li.
"Uncle Qi, why are you here? Is there any news about Black Soul Gold?"
The only thing Ye Li cares about now is the issue of Black Soul Gold. If the Qi family cannot find any information about Black Soul Gold, then he may have to leave here and find a way to investigate elsewhere.
When Qi Tianping heard Ye Li's question, he showed a guilty look on his face and said, "Mr. Ye, I am really sorry for you. I sent people to investigate for a while, but found nothing.
We have looked through all the books we could find and asked some of our peers, but we haven't found any records about Black Soul Gold. Are you sure this thing really exists?"
Hearing Qi Tianping's words, Ye Li showed disappointment on his face.
He didn't know how to answer Qi Tianping's question. After all, he himself was not sure about the answer to this question.
After a moment of silence, Ye Li said, "I think this thing should exist."
Ye Li could only treat it as existing, otherwise his coming here would be meaningless.
After hearing Ye Li's answer, Qi Tianping hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Ye, I am deeply sorry that our Qi family was unable to help you this time.
Since you are sure that this thing exists, then there must be someone who knows about it.
My granddaughter Qi Xiujuan will come back tomorrow with her husband, Bian Lishi, the third son of the Jinzhou City Guard.
After all, such a big thing happened at home before, Xiujuan should come back and take a look.
We are old friends with Bian Yingxiong, the defender of Jinzhou City, and Bian Lishi also came to express his condolences on his behalf.
The Bian family had limited capabilities, and being able to notify the Qingshan City Guard was already the limit of their capabilities. As for the Qingshan City Guard's hypocrisy and collusion with the bandits, it was not the Bian family's fault.
Regarding the current situation, I have a suggestion in my mind, but I don’t know if I should say it or not?”
Ye Li was stunned and said, "Uncle Qi, please speak."
Qi Tianping said: "I would like to introduce you to Bian Lishi, and you can follow him back to Jinzhou City.
Jinzhou City is the territory of Bian Yingxiong. He has great power and a high status in Jinzhou. After all, he is the manager of Jinzhou City appointed by the court. No one nearby dares not to give face to the Bian family.
He has access to much more information than I do. If you go to the Bian family, you might be able to find out more news there. Maybe someone there knows about the Black Soul Gold.
Moreover, the Bian family is a member of the imperial court. With your strength, you may be able to use the relationship with the Bian family to climb into the imperial court.
I think even the imperial court would not want to miss out on a young master like you. Your future prospects are definitely limitless.
I'm sure you also know that the higher your status, the more things you can access. Although your freedom will certainly be restricted if you choose to be an official, it will be very helpful for you to obtain resources for cultivation and to inquire about the black soul gold."
Hearing Qi Tianping's words, Ye Li was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Qi Tianping would actually want him to be an official.
He used to be a person with an official title in the Continent of Miracles. At that time, he had already felt that the higher the status, the wider the contacts and the greater the ability to collect resources.
From Qi Tianping's point of view, the method Qi Tianping mentioned is definitely the most suitable for Ye Li's future development, so he is completely well-intentioned.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Li nodded and said, "Okay, I accept this proposal. I can go to the Bian family to try to find any information about the Black Soul Gold.
However, once I find that there is no hope of finding Black Soul Gold in the Bian family, and they cannot provide me with a better way to complete this task, I will choose to leave the Bian family, and I will not let you lose face at that time. "
Hearing Ye Li's words, Qi Tianping said with a smile: "No, after all, you are not our subordinate, but our guest. You are the one who decides your own affairs. Neither we nor the Bian family have the right to interfere.
If you go to the Bian family now, you can join them as a retainer, which means they will give you a salary and employ you.
Both of you can terminate the employment relationship at any time without too much trouble. "
Ye Li nodded upon hearing this and said, "That's good. After all, I'm not used to being locked up somewhere."
After accepting Qi Tianping's suggestion, Ye Li stayed in Qi's house for another two days until Qi Xiujuan brought Bian Lishi back to Qi's house.
Qi Tianping and Qi Huanfeng brought Ye Li with them to meet the two of them.
When Qi Xiujuan saw her father and grandfather at home, her eyes became red and she ran over sobbing.
Ye Li took a look at Qi Xiujuan. Although she was not a stunning beauty, she was pretty. Her tears made her look pitiful. No wonder the Peach Blossom Scorpion fell in love with her.
Beside Qi Xiujuan, a gentle-looking young man walked up to Qi Huanfeng and Qi Tianping and saluted, saying, "I greet my father-in-law and grandfather."
Qi Huanfeng and Qi Tianping smiled at Bian Lishi and signaled him not to be so polite.
Bian Lishi said, "Originally my father also said he would come, but he was too busy with official duties to get away, so he asked me to send his regards and give him two soul-resurrecting ginsengs as a gift."
Upon hearing this, Qi Huanfeng laughed and said, "Thank you for your concern, brother Yingxiong. We are all family, there is no need to be so polite."
After a round of greetings, several people sat down and the servants immediately served hot tea to everyone.
Qi Xiujuan and Bian Lishi both noticed Ye Li sitting quietly beside them, and felt somewhat confused.
Especially Qi Xiujuan. As a member of the Qi family, she had never heard of this young man who could sit with her father and grandfather. Her doubts were three times greater than Bian Lishi.
