Volume 2 Chapter 179
"It's so late, how can the owner of Qian be here, is there something urgent to find someone to do?" Liu Ming asked in surprise when he saw the people in the room.
This person is Qian Chao, the owner of the Qian Mansion.
"Mr. Gan, the reason why Qian came here is actually good news. The ice silver grass that Mr. asked for, my man finally bought one from another store, but I have to ask Mr. to see it in person. , to see if it really applies?" Qian Chao immediately got up and said with a smile on his face.
"This is true, Gan Mouzhen has to take a look first." Liu Ming was naturally overjoyed when he heard this.
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, revealing a pale silver clover spirit grass, with a faint chill on the surface.
Seeing this, Liu Ming's eyes flashed a bit of dignified color, a light flashed in the middle of his hand, and a silver needle several inches long flashed out.
Liu Ming held the wooden box in one hand, and held the silver needle with two fingers in the other hand, and stabbed a leaf on the spirit grass. .
"Slippery" sounded.
The moment the silver needle pierced the pale silver leaf, a chill rushed through Liu Ming's fingers through the silver needle.
After Liu Ming's fingers 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 light white frost.
"Yes, this is at least fifty-year-old ice silver grass. It is enough to treat my niece. This time, the owner is really bothered, so I will accept it." 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 disappeared in a flash between his fingers.
"Hehe, as long as this spirit grass is really useful. This thing was originally the life-saving reward that Madam promised at the beginning, and it can only be found until now. Originally, I still had to apologize to Mr. Qian." Qian Chao said with a smile.
"Mr. Qian is too polite. Gan Mou's shot was just a matter of convenience." Liu Ming said humbly. 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 do, but he doesn't know what to say." Seeing Liu Ming accepting the wooden box, Qian Chao couldn't help but smile even more.
"Oh, if the owner has something to say, you might as well say it outright." Liu Ming heard the words, his mind turned quickly, but his expression remained unchanged.
"I heard Mrs. Gan know a little about us in Bailingju, but I don't know what Mr. thinks?" Qian Chao asked with a positive look.
"Master Qian means..." Liu Ming asked with narrowed eyes.
"To be honest with Mr. Mian, I know from Mr. Mian that Mr. Qian is not only powerful in magic, but his medical skills are not even inferior to him. Bailingju is very eager for talents like Mr. Qian. So this time Qian came here in person, I plan to formally invite the gentleman to become one of the guests of Bailingju. All expenses are comparable to the highest treatment." Qian Chao said it directly and frankly.
"Join Bailingju? I'm afraid this will disappoint the owner of Qian, and I have no intention of doing so." Liu Ming said with a frown upon hearing this.
"Why is this? Mr. As a loose cultivator, since he intends to live in Xuanjing for a long time, I am afraid that it will be a matter of time to join a certain force in Xuanjing. Qian is not boasting. One of the best, but also enough to rank in the top five. As long as you join Bailingju, you will not only have a lot of spiritual stone offerings every month, but also if you have any rare medicines and utensils,
This residence can also help to collect all. Moreover, the restraint on Keqing from this residence is also very loose. If Keqing feels that the mission is too dangerous, there will be a possibility of death, and everyone has the right to refuse. Qian would not let Ke Qing do something that was impossible. After all, in essence, most of the powers like me enshrine Keqing are used to threaten and deter, and there are not many opportunities for Keqing to do it yourself. Qian Chao was not surprised at all, but said with a smile.
"Since the owner of Qian is so sincere, he doesn't hide it, what is there to say. I have heard some from fellow Daoist Mian about the treatment of guests in Bailingju, and it's not bad. So I refused to agree, and I was worried that Bailingju seems to have provoked a big enemy now, otherwise, even the madam and the son would not be robbed and killed near Xuanjing. Gan Mou came to Xuanjing this time. Personal affairs, I don't want to take the initiative to get involved in some trouble, so as not to involve most of my energy." Liu Ming replied slowly.
"So it is. It seems that Mr. Gan is still not optimistic about the current situation of our Bailingju. If this is the case, Mr. Gan needn't worry too much. In fact, Qian has already found out who is the instigator behind all the hostile Bailingju recently. This is exactly what Jubaolou, the enemy of this residence, did. As the saying goes, good colleagues are enemies, and our two businesses together may be enough to occupy about 20 to 30% of Xuanjing's cultivation resources. Naturally, they have always been fighting each other. It's a no-brainer.
I also have a deep hatred with Mu Yingcheng, the big shopkeeper of Jubaolou. But even so, after so many years, our two families are still not one and can't help each other. Of course, there are reasons why the strengths are not much different, but the most important thing is that we both have other backers behind them, and it is impossible for any one to fall. So Mr. don't have to worry about these problems that Bailingju is encountering now. As long as the auction meeting is successfully held next month, this residence will be able to suppress Jubaolou, and I believe that the other party will not dare to provoke this residence for a few years. "Qian Chao was taken aback and explained in detail.
"Is there a backer behind you? You can still be called a backer with the power of your house. I think it must be someone with a lot of history. I wonder if the owner of Qian can tell me something?" After listening to Liu Ming, he asked in surprise. one sentence.
"There is no problem with this. In fact, Xuanjing's large and small forces must have some background. Otherwise, how can we really establish a foothold in Xuanjing. And because our Bailingju and Jubaolou are doing business externally, we have backers behind them. Who is known to everyone, and there is no need to hide anything. The person behind us in Bailingju is actually the younger brother of the current emperor, 'Three Kings', and one-third of the profits of this residence must be handed over to the Three Kings Mansion. Yes. The backing of the Jubaolou is the current Ninth Prince, but unlike the original residence, Mu Yingcheng, the big shopkeeper on the bright side, is actually the servant of the Ninth Prince, and the entire Jubaolou is simply the private property of the Ninth Prince. No matter how hard our two families fight, it is impossible for one to defeat the other, and our backers will not allow such a thing to happen." Qian Chao said solemnly.
"The third prince, is it the third prince who assisted the present emperor to ascend to the throne twenty years ago and has always been known as the virtuous king?" Liu Ming's heart was shocked, but he asked without showing any strangeness on his face.
"Oh, I didn't expect that Mr. Gan also listened to the name of the third prince back then. This is much easier to handle. It is indeed the wise king. I wonder if Mr. Gan has changed his mind and is willing to become a guest of this house?" Qian Chao asked unexpectedly.
"Since the troubles in Bailingju are only temporary, and there is a virtuous king behind the third prince, if Gan Mouruo still speaks out, I am afraid that he will really upset the owner of the money. I can agree to join Bailingju, but in There are still two conditions before this, I hope the owner can agree." Liu Ming said slowly after pondering for a while.
"What are the conditions for Mr. Gan, just mention it." Qian Chao was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked.
"First, I joined Bailingju as a guest minister, and it can only be done during my stay in Xuanjing. If I leave Xuanjing one day, my status as a guest minister will be voided. But don't worry, Mr. Qian, I am in Xuanjing time. At least two or three years, as many as five or six years. Second, as a reward for becoming a guest of Bailingju, in addition to the monthly offering of spiritual stones, I also plan to learn some alchemy techniques. So I hope your house can recommend me to a certain Learn some alchemy methods from an alchemist. Of course, I also know that real alchemists generally do not accept apprentices at all, but all I want is a recommendation from Bailingju. I have my own way to convince the other party. The alchemist introduced must have deep knowledge in alchemy and be able to refine the medicinal pills used by the spiritual master." Liu Ming said slowly.
"What, Mr. Gan wants to learn the technique of alchemy?" Liu Ming said, obviously surprising Qian Chao.
"Why, can't I study here?" Liu Ming raised his eyebrows when he heard the words.
"Of course not, but even though I am not a spiritual disciple, I know that alchemy is almost the most difficult skill for practitioners to learn, and there are very few practitioners who are really willing to spend time learning this technique. But if Mr. If you are interested in alchemy, we at Bailingju have really had some contacts with several alchemists, and can help recommend one or two. However, alchemists who can refine alchemy above spiritual masters are rare even in major sects. Yes. In Xuanjing, I am afraid there is only one person who has this kind of ability. However, this alchemy master has a very strange temper. I don't have much confidence in him agreeing to instruct Mr. alchemy." Qian Chao replied with a little hesitation.
"It doesn't matter, as long as the owner of Qian can let you meet this master, and you can leave the learning of alchemy to you to handle it yourself." Liu Ming heard this, but his spirit was lifted. "
"Okay, if this is the case, Qian can decide to agree to these two conditions." This time, Qian Chao just thought about it for a while, and then agreed.
"Then Qian Ming has worshipped the proprietor again." Liu Ming smiled slightly and bowed slightly to Qian Chao.
