Volume 2 Xuanjing Chapter 179 The Virtuous King

"It's so late, how could the proprietor of Qian be here, isn't there something urgent to find Qian?" Liu Ming immediately asked with some surprise when he saw the people in the room.

This person is Qian Chao, the owner of the Qian Mansion.

"Mr. Qian, the reason why Qian is here is actually a good news to tell you. The Ice Silver Grass that Mr. wanted, my men finally purchased one from other stores, but I still have to ask Mr. to take a look at it for himself to see if it is really applicable?" Qian Chao immediately got up and said with a smile on his face.

"This is true, Qian really has to take a look at it first. When Liu Ming heard this, he was naturally overjoyed.

Qian Chao took out a wooden box from his sleeve and handed it over with a smile.

Liu Ming took the wooden box and opened it, and a pale silver clover spirit grass was suddenly revealed inside, with a faint chill on the surface.

Seeing this, Liu Ming's eyes flashed with a bit of solemnity, and a few inches long silver needle flashed out in the middle of his hand.

Liu Ming held the wooden box in one hand, pinched the silver needle with two fingers in the other, and stabbed down a leaf on the spirit grass......

"Zi Yu" sound.

At the moment when the silver needle pierced through the pale silver leaves, a chill immediately surged through the silver needle to Liu Ming's fingers.

After Liu Ming's fingers blurred, he pulled the silver needle back from the spirit grass and glanced at it.

I saw that the front half of the silver needle was all wrapped in a layer of pale hoarfrost.

"Yes, this is at least fifty years of Ice Silver Grass, which is enough to treat my niece. This time, it was really bothered by the proprietor of the money, so he accepted it unceremoniously. After Liu Ming saw the scene on the silver needle clearly. He said with a relaxed expression, and at the same time, the silver needle between his fingers flashed and disappeared.

"Huh. As long as this spirit grass is really useful, it's fine. This thing was originally the life-saving reward promised by the lady at the beginning, and it can only be found until now. Originally, I still had to apologize to Mr. Qian Chao said with a smile.

"The proprietor of the money is too polite. Qian's original move was just a matter of convenience. Liu Ming said modestly, and after recovering the wooden box, he carefully put away the ice silver grass.

"In fact, Qian came this time, and there was another thing on his body, but he didn't know whether to talk about it or not. Qian Chao saw Liu Ming accept the wooden box, and the smile on his face couldn't help but be a little more.

"Oh, the owner of the money has something to say, you might as well say it bluntly. When Liu Ming heard this, his mind spun quickly, but he said with the same expression on his face.

"I listened to Madame. Mr. Qian also knows a little bit about our Bailingju, but I don't know what Mr. thinks?" Qian Chao asked with a straight expression.

"What does the proprietor mean ......," Liu Ming asked rhetorically with his eyes narrowed.

"Don't hide it, sir, I learned from the crown elder that Mr. Qian not only has mana, but his medical skills are not even below him. Mr. is such a talent, Bailingju is eager to find talents. Therefore, Qian came over in person this time, planning to officially invite Mr. to become one of Bailingju. All expenses are comparable to the highest treatment. Qian Chao said it frankly and directly.

"Joining Bailingju, I'm afraid this will disappoint the owner of Qian, and I don't have this intention yet. Hearing this, Liu Ming frowned and said.

"Why is that? As a casual cultivator, I plan to live in Xuanjing for a long time. I'm afraid it's only a matter of time before I join a certain force in Xuanjing. Qian is not boasting, Bailingju's guest treatment, even if it is not one of the best in the entire Xuanjing, is enough to rank among the top five. Sir, as long as you join Bailingju. Not only is there a lot of spirit stones to worship every month, but if there is any shortage of elixir artifacts, this residence can also help collect them. And the constraints of the residence on the guest secretary are also very relaxed. If Keqing feels that the mission assigned is too dangerous, there is a possibility of falling. There is a certain right to refuse. Qian would not let Keqing do something that was impossible to accomplish. After all, in essence, most of the powerful offerings to Keqing like this are still used for threat and deterrence. There are not many opportunities for you to do it yourself. Qian Chao was not surprised at all, but said with a smile.

"Since the proprietor of the money is so sincere, he doesn't hide it below, so what is there to say. Regarding the guest treatment of Bailingju, I have heard some from Mian Daoyou, and it is indeed quite good. The reason why Zai Xia refused to agree was that Bailingju seemed to have provoked a big enemy now, otherwise it would not have been robbed and killed near Xuanjing by even Mrs. Ling and Gongzi. Qian came to Xuanjing this time to deal with some personal matters, and he didn't want to take the initiative to get involved in some troubles, so as not to involve most of his energy. Liu Ming replied slowly.

"I see. It seems that Mr. Qian is still not very optimistic about the current situation of our Bailingju. If that's the case, Mr. Qian doesn't have to worry too much. In fact, Qian Mou, the instigator behind all the hostile Bailingju recently, has already found out who it is, and it is the opponent of the residence, Jubaolou, who did it. As the saying goes, a good peer is an enemy, and the business of our two companies together is probably enough to occupy about two or three percent of Xuanjing's cultivation resources, so naturally it is even more inextricably linked. I myself and Mu Yingcheng, the big shopkeeper of Jubaolou, also have a deep hatred. But even so, after so many years, neither of us nor the two of us can help anyone. Of course, there are reasons for the difference in strength, but the most important thing is that both of us have other backers behind them, and it is impossible for either of us to fall. So Mr. doesn't have to worry about these problems that Bailingju is encountering now. As long as we wait until the auction conference is successfully held next month, Honju will be able to suppress Jubaolou, and I believe that the other party will not dare to provoke Honju again for several years. Qian Chao suddenly explained in detail.

"There is a backer behind him? With the strength of your house, you can still be called a backer, and I think it must be a person with a great background. I wonder if the proprietor of Qian can tell him one or two things clearly?" Liu Ming asked with some surprise after hearing this.

"Naturally, there is no problem with this. In fact, Xuanjing's strength and strength must have some background, otherwise how can he really gain a foothold in Xuanjing. And because we Bailingju and Jubaolou are doing business externally, who is behind them is a matter that everyone knows, and there is no need to hide anything. The person behind our Bailingju is actually the younger brother of the current emperor, the 'Three Princes', and one-third of the profits of this residence must be handed over to the Three Princes' Mansion. The backer of the Treasure House is the current Nine Emperor Princes, but unlike the main residence, Mu Yingcheng, the big shopkeeper on the surface, is actually just the house slave of the Nine Emperor Princes, and the entire Treasure House is simply the private property of the Nine Emperor Princes. Therefore, no matter how hard the two of us fight, it is impossible for one to defeat the other, and our backers will not allow this kind of thing to happen. Qian Chao said solemnly.

"The Third Prince, could it be that the Third Prince, who assisted the current emperor to ascend the throne twenty years ago and has always been known as the Virtuous King," Liu Ming was suddenly shocked in his heart, but asked without the slightest difference on his face.

"Oh, I didn't expect Mr. Qian to also listen to the name of the third prince back then, this is much easier, it is indeed this virtuous king. I wonder if Mr. Qian has changed his mind and is willing to become a guest of this residence?" Qian Chao asked with some surprise.

"Since the trouble encountered by Bailingju is only temporary, and there is the third prince behind him, the virtuous king, if Qian still says the words of resignation, I am afraid that he will really make the proprietor of Qian unhappy. I can agree to join Bailingju, but there are two conditions before that, and I hope the proprietor can agree. Liu Ming pondered for a moment before he said slowly.

"What conditions does Mr. Qian, just mention it. Qian Chao was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

"First, I joined Bailingju to become a guest, which can only be a matter during my stay in Xuanjing, if I leave Xuanjing one day, this guest's identity will naturally be invalid. But don't worry, I have been in Xuanjing for as little as two or three years, and as long as five or six years. Second, I am paid for becoming a guest of Bailing Juqing, and in addition to the monthly spirit stone offerings, I also plan to learn some alchemy. So I hope your house can recommend me to learn some alchemy under an alchemist. Of course, I also know that the true great alchemists of the Dao generally don't accept apprentices at all, but all I want is a recommendation from Bailingju, and I have my own way to convince the other party. However, the alchemist introduced by Guiju must have a deep alchemy attainment and be able to refine the elixir used by the spirit master or above. Liu Ming said slowly.

"What, Mr. Qian wants to learn the art of alchemy?" Liu Ming said, obviously taking Qian Chaoda by surprise.

"What, can't you study in the next place?" Liu Ming raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

"Naturally, this is not, but although I am not a spirit disciple, I also know that the alchemy technique of the Dao is almost the most difficult technique for cultivators to learn, and there are very few cultivators who are really willing to spend time learning this technique. However, if Mr. is really interested in alchemy, we in Bailingju have really had some contacts with several alchemists, and we can help recommend one or two. However, alchemists who can refine elixirs above the spirit master are rare even in the major sects. In Xuanjing, I'm afraid that only one person has such ability. However, this alchemy master has a very strange temper, although Honju has dealt with him a few times and helped him auction the elixir a few times, but he is really not too sure that he will agree to instruct Mr. Alchemy. Qian Chao replied hesitantly.

"It doesn't matter, as long as the proprietor of the money can let Zai Xia meet this master, and the matter of learning alchemy will be handled by Zaixia. Liu Ming listened, but his spirits perked. “

"Okay, if that's just the case, Qian can make the decision to agree to Mr. This time, Qian Chao just thought about it for a while, and then gritted his teeth and agreed.

"That Qianming has worshiped the proprietor again. Liu Ming smiled slightly, and bowed slightly to Qian Chao.

(Hehe,Starting today, the Demon Heaven will be restored and updated!) (To be continued......)
