Chapter 154 Help
In a private room on the second floor of the Yingbin Building, Lin Tianming sat opposite each other.
There was still a moment before Ye Pinghai arrived for the appointment, so the two of them had nothing to do and chatted for a while.
He told some of the rumors that had been circulating for half a day, exactly as they were, to see what Lin Shilu thought of them.
As expected, Lin Shilu was also a little excited after hearing the news.
The purpose of this trip to Qianchuanbo City is to establish a foothold in Qianchuanbo City, but it is not that easy to open a store in Qianchuanbo City
Due to the strong popularity of Qianchuanbo City, business has been very good, and most of them are in Qianchuanbo City. Families doing business in every city are making a lot of money.
Therefore, various shops in Fangshi have always been extremely popular, and there are almost powerful people who are willing to take the initiative to cancel the lease and give up a great opportunity to make money.
Once the space is vacated, it will be quickly rented by the Jiji family. Sometimes a store location is competed by more than ten families, and some forces even form grudges because of it.
As a result, it is not easy for the Lin family to rent a shop in a short period of time.
If the Gao family really wants to change hands with Lingxiao Tower, it will be out-and-out good news for the Lin family.
When a few people arrived in Fangshi, they encountered such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They were extremely lucky.
Thinking of this, Lin Shilu suppressed the excitement in his heart, and then asked:
"Tianming, how do you think it is true that the Gao family plans to sell Lingxiao Tower? Is there anything in it? Secret?”
Lin Tianming thought for a moment, recalling the rumors he heard today, and then responded:
"This matter has been rumored a lot. I think this is not groundless. Moreover, the Gao family was attacked by the Wei and Zhou families. Judging from the fact that the entire Gao family suffered heavy losses, the Gao family may really have this intention."
"That's true!"
Lin Shilu nodded, and Lin Tianming continued to add.
“If the Gao family really cancels the lease, many families must want to rent it. We are weak and we will definitely have to pay a lot of money if we want to win the spot!”
"As expected, there must be many foundation-building families competing, and our Lin family has not been well-known before. It may not be easy to stand out."
After Lin Tianming's analysis, Lin Shilu was not discouraged. He said calmly:
"Fellow Daoist Ye has been in Fangshi for so many years and is a second-level high-grade alchemist. He may have some connections. He will be here soon. Let’s ask around first!”
“That’s all it can do!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the restrictions in the private room suddenly flickered.
“Fellow Daoist Ye is here, come with me to greet him!”
After Lin Shilu's instructions, the two stood up, and then he strangled with one hand, fired a magic spell, and disappeared into the restraint.
After the light flashed again, the entrance of the private room suddenly revealed Ye Pinghai's figure.
After several years of not seeing each other, Ye Pinghai’s aura seems to be getting stronger.
Lin Shilu pulled Lin Tianming forward, with a deep smile on his face, and then held his hands and fists.
“Haha, Brother Ye, long time no see, I’m so polite...”
"Junior has met Senior Ye!" Lin Tianming clasped his fists in salute and bowed.
Ye Pinghai smiled broadly, as if meeting an old friend, and returned the favor with his hands clasped in fists.
When he saw Lin Tianming later, he was immediately surprised, and then said in a tone of admiration.
"Little friend Lin is indeed a true dragon among people. We haven't seen each other for a few years, but he has already succeeded in building the foundation. This speed of cultivation is really terrifying!"
Lin Shilu chuckled, modestly replied.
"No, no, Brother Ye, I, this junior, just have better luck and have always been diligent and hardworking, so my cultivation speed is one step faster than others. As for this junior's talent, it is nothing in the entire Wei Kingdom's world of immortality!"
After speaking, Ye Pinghai did not continue the topic. When he waved his hand, he changed the topic and joked:
"Since Xiaoyou Lin has made a breakthrough, big brother We all belong to the same foundation-building cultivators, so we should treat each other as Taoist friends!"
Hearing this, Lin Tianming shook his head repeatedly, and then said:
"Senior Ye has defeated the junior, even though he is the same brother! To build a foundation, but you are at the ninth level of foundation building, and you are also a second-level top-grade alchemist. You are also a well-known powerhouse in the entire Qianchuanfang City. How can this junior be compared with you?”
Lin Tianming complimented for a while, and then said in a sincere tone:
"What's more, you are as close as brothers to my grandpa and fifteenth grandpa, and you have helped the Lin family many times. If you are worthy of being a Taoist friend, how can you Isn’t it a matter of seniority?”
“Haha...”
Hearing Lin Tianming’s explanation, Ye Pinghai smiled happily, and the two of them suddenly became closer.
After calming down, Ye Pinghai said:
"Brother Lin is kind to me, and we do treat each other as brothers. Since you said so, I'm very proud of you. If you don't mind it in the future, you might as well call me Grandpa Hai, how about it?"
"Grandnephew" I’ve seen Grandpa Hai!” Lin Tianming naturally wouldn’t object and immediately bowed his hands.
After listening to Ye Pinghai's words, he took the initiative to express his kindness to the Lin family. Lin Shilu on the side was very happy and kept talking.
"It should be so!"
After a few words of greeting, Lin Shilu asked Ye Pinghai to sit down, and Lin Tianming ordered the boy waiting outside to serve a table full of meals.
The three of them sat down respectively. Lin Shilu took out two golden gourds and opened one of the pots, and the aroma suddenly overflowed.
When he stood up and poured wine for Ye Pinghai, he did not forget to say:
"Brother Ye, these pots of "Haoyu Fruit Wine" were brewed by my ninth brother. A large amount of precious elixir has been added, which has the effect of improving cultivation, so it is easy to be reluctant to take it out and drink it. "
"If I hadn't come to Fangshi on this trip, Ninth Brother missed Brother Ye, so he was willing to take out a few pots and asked me to entertain Brother Ye with a banquet, otherwise I would not be able to enjoy the meal! ”
Listening to Lin Shilu’s explanation, Ye Pinghai chuckled, with a look of expectation on his face.
"Really? Then I have to taste it carefully, or else I won't be able to miss Brother Shigong!"
The enthusiastic Lin Shilu entertained Ye Pinghai, while Lin Tianming sat next to Lin Shilu.
While devouring the spirit beast meat, Lin Tianming did not forget to get up and pour wine for the two of them.
After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food are over.
Under the warm reception and drinking glasses of wine, Ye Pinghai was also trying to figure out Lin Shilu's deep meaning.
He has also lived for nearly a hundred years and has met many different kinds of people. As for Lin Shilu's enthusiasm today, he must be looking for something.
Knowing this, he took the initiative to ask.
"Brother Lin, if you need any help, just say it. If you can help me, I will help you. It is also a way of repaying the Lin family's life-saving grace!"
Seeing him clarify the matter. , Lin Shilu said with a wry smile:
"As expected by Brother Ye, I do have something to discuss!"
"Oh?" Ye Pinghai was a little interested. In the past, the Lin family asked him to do some work, almost all of which was alchemy. For him, this was just a waste of time, but he also charged some basic fees. What he did was not considered serious. What a credit.
As for Lin Shilu being so cautious today, I wonder why?
Seeing Ye Pinghai's expression, Lin Shilu didn't intend to hide it anymore to avoid causing displeasure.
After making up his mind, he went straight to the point and explained the Lin family's purpose of coming to Fangshi.
"Lease a shop and establish a foothold in Qianchuanfang City?"
"Is it possible that the Gao family's Lingxiao Tower will change hands?"
Ye Pinghai was a little surprised, but after Lin Shilu explained again, he understood The Lin family’s foresight.
It’s not that the Lin family didn’t have this idea in the past, but they really didn’t have the strength. Even the Jin family, which was once the first family in the Luoyun Mountains, failed to gain a foothold in Qianchuanfang City.
Nowadays, eight members of the Lin family are building a foundation. With such strength, they are the best in the entire Luoyun Mountains. Naturally, they will not be willing to stay in one place.
Thinking of this, he understood the Lin family's demands very well, but it was indeed not that easy to gain a foothold in Qianchuanfang City.
For now, the forces behind the shops in Fangshi are almost all the best among the foundation-building families. Without strength and background, Fangshi will not give any support at all.
Not only that, the rent of shops in Fangshi starts from ten years, and there are still more than two years before the ten-year period. If you want to wait for that gap, there will still be a while, otherwise you will have to wait for it to change hands midway. opportunity, but this situation is very rare and will only occur unless the business cannot continue.
"If the Gao family really changes hands with the store, many forces will definitely be eyeing it, and there will definitely be another fierce battle!" Ye Pinghai said.
Seeing Ye Pinghai raise his eyebrows, his expression solemn, and falling into silence, Lin Shilu did not dare to rush and could only wait anxiously.
At this time, the entire private room was silent, with only a few breathing sounds coming out evenly.
More than ten breaths passed before Ye Pinghai said leisurely:
"Brother Lin, although this matter is difficult to handle, it is not impossible. As long as Lingxiao Tower really changes hands, it will be fine. Give it a try. After decades of being in Fang City, I still have some connections that I can use, and I might be able to get some help."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Shilu was overjoyed.
I originally planned to give it a try, but I didn’t expect Ye Pinghai to directly accept the matter. Although it may not succeed, at least he is willing to help, which is commendable.
Otherwise, they will be on their own, running around like headless flies, with no certainty of when the results will come.
"Brother Ye, don't worry, I will start confirming this matter right away. Once it is true, I will ask Brother Ye to help me deal with it. No matter whether it is successful or not, I will definitely be rewarded!"
Lin Shilu After speaking in a sincere tone, he immediately took out a storage bag and handed it to Ye Pinghai.
Seeing this, Ye Pinghai waved his hands and said:
"This matter has not been confirmed yet. If the Gao family is unwilling to change hands, there is nothing I can do for my brother. It is better to take this matter in the next few days. Once the authenticity of the matter is confirmed, it’s not too late to make plans later.”
Seeing his resolute attitude, Lin Shilu had no choice but to give up and take back the storage bag.
Lin Tianming on the side also stepped forward very wisely and filled the two bottles of spiritual wine.
Then the two of them changed the topic wisely and began to exchange their experiences and then talk about some trivial matters at home.
Lin Tianming was on the side, frantically sweeping up the delicacies on the table. He swallowed a large amount of spiritual beast meat. The little spiritual power contained in the spiritual beast meat was also nourishing his physical body. .
The dinner lasted for more than half an hour. Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Pinghai stood up and prepared to leave.
"Brother Lin, you and I will each inquire whether the news about Lingxiao Tower's change of hands is true or false. Once there is news, you can go directly to my cave, and we will discuss it before making plans!"
Lin Shilu nodded, He looked excited and said:
"Thank you for your trouble, brother. As soon as I have news, I will send you a message immediately!"
"Okay!" Ye Pinghai responded.
Then the three of them got up and walked out of the Yingbin Building together. After each holding their fists, they walked towards their respective caves.
Back in the temporarily rented cave, Lin Tianfeng and others had already returned to the small courtyard.
Several people gathered together to summarize the information they collected.
The information that several people can collect is almost the same. In the entire city, there is only news of the transfer of the Gao family's Lingxiao Tower.
As a result, in a short period of time, the Lin family can only place their hope on this Lingxiao Tower.
In the small courtyard, seeing everyone in silence, Lin Tianfeng asked:
"What should we do next?"
After a few breaths of silence again, Lin Shilu had no clue and was really at a loss what to do.
At this time, Lin Tianming said:
"Tomorrow you should go out and walk around the streets, ask around, and make friends with some monks, which will help us gain a foothold in the city."< br>
"As for the Lingxiao Tower matter, tomorrow Grandpa Fifteen and I will go check it out on the spot, and then go to the Fangshi lobby to inquire. Senior Ye has also confirmed the matter through his friends. I believe it won't be long before there will be an answer. ! ”
That was all he could do now. Lin Shilu was very pleased to hear Lin Tianming's arrangement, and then he spoke to comfort everyone.
"Yes, there is no rush. You don't have to be so pessimistic. With the help of fellow Taoist Ye, there is still a lot of hope."
Hearing this, Lin Tianfeng and others softened their expressions. A lot.
At the end of the day, they wandered around various places in Fangshi. They also knew a little bit about the store rental situation, and they were even more familiar with Ye Pinghai's name.
It can be said that in addition to Jindan Zhenren, Ye Pinghai is the best among the foundation-building monks in Qianchuanfang City, where there are many powerful people. Relying on the exquisite alchemy skills, he can be said to have unlimited scenery and many friends.
With his help, it would indeed be much easier to handle this matter.
Seeing that the faces of several people were rosy again, Lin Shilu opened his mouth and gave instructions:
"According to Tianming's arrangement, everyone will act separately tomorrow. When going out, everyone should be careful!"< br>
“Okay, it’s getting late, let’s go and have a rest!”
“Yes!”
Lin Tianming and others stood up and bowed, then each walked towards their own rooms.
Back in the room, Lin Tianming sat on the jade stone bed, then he put his hands together and moved his kung fu in a big circle.
Due to drinking a large amount of spiritual wine and swallowing a large amount of spiritual beast meat, an energy within the body was refined.
After more than an hour of practice, Tai Cai refined most of the energy in his body.
In the dead of night, he sat on the bedside and thought.
In view of the overall strength of the Lin family, among the foundation-building families in the entire Wei State, it can be considered to be at the upper-middle level, and it is also qualified.
The most important thing is to see the attitude of the Zhenyang Sect behind Qianchuanfang City. This is the key. As long as this relationship is opened up, it will be simple to handle this matter.
"That's all, let's go take a look tomorrow..."
Muttering to himself, Lin Tianming fell asleep and soon began to snore.
