Chapter 391 Invitation

After returning to Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce, Li Qing was ready to tell Shen Ningbing that he planned to rent a spiritual cave outside the city for cultivation.

After that, whether she went with him or stayed in Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce, Li Qing would not express any opinion.

Of course, if Shen Ningbing was willing to go and rent a cave together, it would be great. Two cultivators in the foundation-building stage would always have someone to look after them, and their ability to resist risks would also increase a lot.

A gentleman should be cautious when he is alone, and this is even more true for independent cultivators.

After all, he and Shen Ningbing know each other well and are trustworthy. With the powerful combat power of the other's ice spiritual roots, the two of them can work together to deal with even a cultivator in the false pill stage.

With this in mind, Li Qing was ready to go to the courtyard where he lived, but he didn't expect to run into Old Man Mo head-on!

The hunched old man Mo smiled gently: "Daoyou, have you just come back? I just happen to have something to talk to you about."

Looking at the amiable expression of the old man Mo, Li Qing did not feel any intimacy in his heart, but became more vigilant.

Of course, although he was vigilant, Li Qing remained calm on the surface and smiled softly: "Haha, I wonder what the old man wants to talk to us about? Daoyou Shen and I have always wanted to find a chance to repay the favor of staying overnight and guiding the way."

The two of them came to the courtyard where Li Qing and Shen Ningbing lived while laughing and talking. As soon as they walked in, they saw Shen Ningbing meditating on the roof.

Sensing the arrival of Li Qing and the old man Mo, Shen Ningbing immediately stopped refining qi and slowly opened her beautiful eyes with coldness.

Old Man Mo praised him: "Little Daoist Shen is really hardworking. No wonder he has reached the seventh level of Qi Refining at such a young age. It really makes me, an old man, ashamed."

"With such talent, Little Daoist Shen has a high chance of successfully building a foundation in the future!"

Listening to Old Man Mo's praise, Li Qing couldn't help but tease: "Yes, I can't see that in ten years, Daoist Shen will be able to successfully build a foundation. At that time, you have to call me Senior Shen."

Shen Ningbing glanced at Li Qing unhappily, and she looked cold and charming.

"Haha, Daoist Li, you are very lucky, but you still have to work harder, otherwise you may not have a chance in the future!" Old Man Mo pointed out to Li Qing with the attitude of an experienced person.

The obvious and covert meaning was to let Li Qing and Shen Ningbing get married quickly, otherwise Shen Ningbing might look down on Li Qing when his cultivation level is high in the future.

As soon as these words came out, the expression that was originally teasing Shen Ningbing immediately stiffened slightly.

But Shen Ningbing was confused. She didn't understand what Old Man Mo meant. She thought that Old Man Mo meant that if Li Qing didn't work harder, he would have no chance to build a foundation in the future.

Seeing this scene, Li Qing coughed a few times and interrupted Shen Ningbing's thinking.

"Ahem, Mr. Mo, what do you want to talk to us about this time? Just say it."

Hearing Li Qing's straightforward words, Mr. Mo was too lazy to beat around the bush and said directly:

"It's like this, I want to invite the two Taoist friends to join the Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce and become the Chamber of Commerce's tribute!"

After hearing this, Li Qing pretended to be thoughtful and said:

"Sorry, Mr. Mo, I'm used to being a free and unrestrained person. I don't like a constrained life. Next, I plan to go to other places to gain some experience."

"And with my shallow cultivation, there are a lot of people in Xiangyang City. I don't think I can be of much use to your chamber of commerce."

Li Qing's refusal seemed to be expected by Mr. Mo, but he still looked at Shen Ningbing.

Just when Shen Ningbing was about to refuse, Old Man Mo gritted his teeth and said:

"You two don't have to be so anxious to refuse, but why not listen to my conditions?"

"If you two Taoist friends agree, I promise to give you two a main ingredient for the foundation-building pill in the future! And I can recommend you to join the Ghost Sword Sect in the future!"

"In addition, my Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce can also provide you with a place to practice with a second-level spiritual vein."

It must be said that this is definitely a very generous condition, even a little too generous!

You must know that these things added together, for a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage, the value is absolutely unimaginable, it is a shocking gift, and there is no way that a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage would refuse this.

For a moment, Li Qing even suspected that the other party had seen through his identity as a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, or was using these things to test him.

But no matter what, acting still has to be played out in full.

Li Qing's eyes revealed a touch of emotion, and it seemed that he was deeply moved by the price offered by Old Man Mo.

Soon, Li Qing's eyes showed a trace of struggle again: "Old man, you can't accept the reward without merit. If you want to get these benefits, it's probably not that easy, right?"

Any cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage can agree to the invitation with a light touch of the lips. If these benefits are thrown out, I don't know how many cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage will be eager to get them.

Li Qing has never believed that there will be pie in the sky. He seems to be moved on the surface, but his heart is clearer than anyone else.

Old man Mo nodded with a bitter smile and said: "Of course, there is only one condition to do all this, get rid of Master Yan!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Qing immediately showed a look of shock, and then stuttered:

"This, this, this, you think too highly of the two of us, Master Yan is a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, I'm afraid he can kill the two of us with just one finger!"

"We haven't lived long enough to fight against a cultivator in the foundation building stage."

As if he had expected Li Qing to answer like this, Old Man Mo said in a deep voice:

"This Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce is the last legacy left to us by my useless son, but now it has been seized by Master Yan."

"Now the bulk of the Chamber of Commerce's revenue is in the hands of Master Yan. As long as we can get rid of him and take back the Chamber of Commerce, I promise that you two will be guests of honor in my Chamber of Commerce in the future!"

"Of course, I'm not asking you to fight Master Yan directly. I have a grandson in the Ghost Sword Sect. When the time comes, I can invite a foundation building elder of the Ghost Sword Sect to attack Master Yan."

"Master Yan is very anxious. You can tell from the expression he looks at Shen Xiaoyou. I would like to ask the two Taoist friends to help set up a plan, and then."

After listening to the other party's plan, Li Qing sneered in his heart.

If he hadn't asked around in the restaurant before, he might really believe it.

The Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce was about to collapse. If it weren't for Master Yan Dan's help, it would have been gone to some corner. Isn't it natural for him to monopolize the bulk of the Chamber of Commerce's profits?

Of course, the root of everything is that these conditions are not tempting enough for Li Qing, who is in the Foundation Establishment stage.

If he and Shen Ningbing were really just casual cultivators in the Qi Refining stage, they might really consider the feasibility of this matter.

With the help of Shen Ningbing's sex appeal, it would be relatively easy for the elders of the Ghost Sword Sect to kill the unprepared Master Yan Dan.

For some casual cultivators in the Qi Refining stage, for a Foundation Establishment Pill, let alone just luring them with a beauty trap, even if they really asked someone to give up their Taoist partner, it is estimated that many people would do such a thing.

The world of casual cultivators is so cruel and bloody.

Li Qing shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Mo, I still can't agree to this."

"Since you can ask the elders of the Ghost Sword Sect to help, just let them take action directly. Why do you need to go through so much trouble?"

Old man Mo looked a little bitter: "Well, to be honest, Master Yan Dan did help Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce a lot. If we ask outsiders to get rid of him casually, it will be bad for the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce."

"I just need this excuse to maintain the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce, otherwise it will be damaged in the future."

"Well, since Li Xiaoyou refuses, I will not force it."

"But I have another request, that is, I hope you two can keep it secret for me."

Until now, Old Man Mo still thought that Li Qing refused because he was reluctant to sell out Shen Ningbing's body.

He showed a little disappointment in his eyes, and no longer had much expectation for Li Qing.

In his opinion, if a cultivator cannot even give up a woman in the face of interests, his future path is doomed to be short-lived.

"Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut." Li Qing grinned, looking very sunny and cheerful.

Then, Old Man Mo walked out of the courtyard where Li Qing and Shen Ningbing lived.

Shen Ningbing didn't say a word from beginning to end, but the coldness in his eyes became extremely intense.

But she soon retracted the coldness in her eyes, and then laughed at herself:

"Brother Li, you are still good at judging people. I thought that old man Mo was a simple and honest person. I didn't expect..."

Li Qing said calmly: "Let's go as soon as possible. I feel that there will be trouble here next."

"I got some information before going out. There are several spiritual peaks in the south not far from the city that have caves for rent. At the same time, a small market has been opened for cultivators to barter."

"Next, I plan to rent a cave there to practice meditation. What about you, Sister Shen?"

Without any hesitation, Shen Ningbing said directly: "I will go too!"

So far, Li Qing has shown quite experienced survival experience of casual cultivators, and Shen Ningbing just happens to be lacking in this aspect.

So naturally, she decided to continue to follow Li Qing to gain some experience, at least it can save a lot of trouble.

"Then pack up as soon as possible and leave tonight. I don't want to wait for Old Man Mo to invite the elders of Ghost Sword Sect to come over and cause trouble."

"I have already inquired clearly. Ghost Sword Sect has a considerable influence in this area. It is a sect with a Yuanying period ancestor sitting in charge. It must not be easily provoked."

"But this is actually good news. The strength of Ghost Sword Sect means that the territory is relatively safe and will not be easily affected by the immortal war. It is a good place for meditation."

Li Qing spoke very quickly. While he was talking, he released his spiritual sense and habitually checked the situation around.

Soon, Li Qing was slightly startled, and then sneered:

"It seems that Old Man Mo does not intend to let us leave easily. This is because he does not believe that we will keep secrets for him."

I saw that in several hidden corners outside the courtyard, Old Man Mo had planted spies. One or two of them were the escorts who had traded with Old Man Mo at the beginning. These people should be Old Man Mo's confidants.

Shen Ningbing, who was still marveling at the rich experience of her Senior Brother Li just a second ago, became instantly gloomy after hearing these words, and she had obviously noticed something unusual outside the courtyard.
