Regarding Qing Ru's words, Bai Lan felt a little puzzled, he didn't know what Qing Ru was referring to. However, it's not easy to ask in detail on this occasion, he laughed dryly twice, and then diverted the conversation.
"The young man next to President Qingru looks very familiar." Bai Lan fixed her eyes on Jing Yan.
"President, this person's name is Jing Yan. He came to our Golden Bird Chamber of Commerce two months ago to speak for our Chamber of Commerce." A director of the Golden Bird Chamber of Commerce said with narrowed eyes.
"Ah, I remembered, no wonder it looks familiar. I didn't expect that alchemist Jing Yan failed to speak for me at the Golden Sparrow Chamber of Commerce, but ran to President Qingru's Youhai Chamber of Commerce." Bai Lan pretended to be stunned.
Qing Ru looked at Bai Lan and thought, now that you are smiling happily, you probably won't be able to laugh anymore after the alchemy ceremony.
"President Qing Ru, this alchemist Jing Yan speaks for your Youhai Chamber of Commerce. I wonder how much you paid him?" Bai Lan asked again with a smile.
"President Bailan, it's against the rules for you to inquire about this. You should also know that this is private information of the chamber of commerce. However, you and I are so familiar with President Bailan, and you are not an outsider. Since you asked, it's okay for me to tell you. Our Uhai Chamber of Commerce invites Alchemist Jingyan to speak for you, and the reward is 20 million spirit stones." Qing Ru said with a flash of eyes.
"hiss!"
Hearing Qing Ru's words, the smiles on the faces of Bai Lan and the others froze immediately, revealing a look of shock.
Of course, they couldn't have imagined that Youhai Chamber of Commerce would pay 20 million spirit stones for Jing Yan to speak for them.
The reason why Bai Lan asked about the remuneration paid to Jing Yan by the Ruyouhai Chamber of Commerce was that he wanted to humiliate Jing Yan in this way, but he did not expect Jing Yan's remuneration to be so high, completely beyond his expectations.
If Bai Lan and the others knew that 20 million was Jing Yan's minimum salary, and if Jing Yan could be listed on the list of rookie alchemy kings in the alchemy ceremony, Youhai Chamber of Commerce would also pay Jing Yan 20 million spirit stones, then they would be even more shocked.
At this time, the alchemist named Rong Jie finally turned his attention to Jing Yan. Before, he was so proud that he didn't even glance at Jing Yan. But now that he has heard that Jing Yan's worth is no worse than him, he is also very puzzled and pays a little more attention to Jing Yan. He saw that Jing Yan had a very strange face, he should not be from Dan Kingdom, and he didn't know which alchemy family this person was from, but he was invited by Youhai Chamber of Commerce.
"President Bai Lan, I'm sorry, I'll excuse you first."
"Alchemist Jing Yan, let's go over there. I have a few acquaintances, let me introduce you." Qing Ru said apologetically to Bai Lan, and then turned to Jing Yan.
Jing Yan nodded naturally.
Jing Yan and others followed Qingru to a group of people gathered not far away. After being introduced, Jing Yan found out that these people were members of several large chambers of commerce in the country of Dan. The presidents of several chambers of commerce were also among the crowd.
Qingru greeted them, and they all responded politely. On the surface, the relationship between everyone is still very harmonious.
"President, do you think Qingru took the wrong medicine? She actually paid Jing Yan 20 million spirit stones?" A member of the Golden Sparrow Chamber of Commerce said with a frown.
"It's really weird!" Bai Lan said thoughtfully, "Although Qingru is a woman, she is very shrewd. Twenty million spirit stones is not a small amount!"
"President Bai Lan, who is this Jing Yan? It shouldn't be an alchemist from the Dan country, right? I have no reason not to know the more famous alchemists in the Dan country within a hundred years old." Rong Jie looked at Bai Lan and asked.
"It's normal that alchemist Rong Jie doesn't know this person. This person is from Lanqu County. You see, the person next to that kid is the king of Lanqu County. It seems to be Zhou Shangyun." Bai Lan said to Rong Jie.
Rong Jie was slightly taken aback.
"Lanqu County?"
"I know Lanqu County, but it seems to be just a small county town. I haven't heard that there is an Alchemy family there!" Rong Jie looked suspicious.
"Of course this person is not an alchemy genius from the alchemy family. In my Jinque Chamber of Commerce, there is an alchemist from Lanqu County. His name is Li Xingjiu. Before coming to the alchemy country, he was the president of the alchemist association in Lanqu County, and he was also a sixth-level alchemist. According to what he said, the Jingyan a few years ago was only a third-level alchemist." Bai Lan said.
"How is this possible? President Qingru, why did you pay him 20 million spirit stones?" Rong Jie became more and more puzzled.
"Hehe, President Qing Ru was deceived, right? A place like Lanqu County can produce very good alchemists?" Rong Jie then sneered again.
"I'm not very clear about the specific situation! Alchemist Rongjie, let's go over and say hello to the presidents of the other chambers of commerce! Li Lin, the president of the Longxiang Chamber of Commerce, is also here!" Bai Lan shook her head and said.
Longxiang Chamber of Commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in Dan Kingdom.
The size of the Goldfinch Chamber of Commerce is not very different from the second-ranked Winter Day Chamber of Commerce. But compared with Longxiang Chamber of Commerce, it is far behind.
The size of the Longxiang Chamber of Commerce is roughly equal to the sum of the Winter Chamber of Commerce and the Golden Bird Chamber of Commerce. There are several eighth-level alchemists in the Longxiang Chamber of Commerce, and the position of the Longxiang Chamber of Commerce in the Alchemy Kingdom is almost unshakable. Li Lin, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, is also one of the most outstanding disciples of Hu Donghe, the lord of the Alchemy City, and he was already an eighth-level alchemist a long time ago.
Not much time has passed!
In the entire square, the originally chaotic situation suddenly became quiet.
All eyes fell on the square at the top of the stairs.
Jing Yan also looked and saw a group of figures appearing on the uppermost square, about a hundred people. After these people arrived, they all took their seats one after another, and there were two people sitting in the most conspicuous positions, one was an old man with white eyebrows, and the other was a middle-aged man who was wearing a blue robe and couldn't tell his age.
"Alchemist Jing Yan, the one sitting on the left is Hu Donghe, the lord of Pill Spirit City. The one sitting on the right should be the special envoy from the Holy City, representing the Holy Lord." Qing Ru whispered to Jing Yan.
Jing Yan nodded slightly.
For a grand event like the Pill Spirit Conference, it is normal for people from the Holy City to come. After all, Dan Country is the second only existence in the entire continent after the Holy City. And the Pill Spirit Conference, which is held every hundred years, is also the focus of the entire continent.
Just as Jing Yan was looking at the people in the square with the highest stairs, an old man in a white robe walked to the front of the square with the highest stairs, and his eyes glanced at the dense crowd in the square at the bottom.
"The current Pill Spirit Conference begins!"
"The next step is the first stage, the alchemy ceremony. The alchemists participating in the alchemy ceremony should get ready and receive their number plates." The voice of the white-robed old man came to everyone's ears.
