Chapter 391 Invitation
Returning to the Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce, Li Qing was about to tell Shen Ningbing that he planned to rent a spiritual vein cave outside the city for practice.
Whether she goes with him or stays at Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce, Li Qing will not express any opinions.
Of course, if Shen Ningbing is willing to go and rent the cave together, that would be great. When two monks in the foundation building period are together, they will always have someone to take care of them, and their ability to resist risks will also increase. few.
A gentleman is careful to be alone, and this is especially true for casual cultivators.
After all, he and Shen Ningbing knew everything and were trustworthy people. With the strong combat power of the other party's ice spirit root, with the two of them working together, they would not be able to deal with even the monks who were in the fake elixir stage.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Qing prepared to go to the courtyard where he lived, but unexpectedly he ran into Old Man Mo!
The stooped old man Mo had a gentle smile on his face: "Fellow Taoist, have you just come back from your trip? It just so happens that I have something I want to talk to you about."
Looking at old man Mo Despite his amiable expression, Li Qing could not feel any intimacy in his heart. Instead, he became more vigilant.
Of course, being vigilant, Li Qing remained calm on the surface and smiled softly: "Haha, I wonder what I want to talk to us about? My friend Shen and I have always been kind enough to stay overnight and lead the way. I want to find a chance to pay it back.”
The two of them laughed and chatted before arriving at the courtyard where Li Qing and Shen Ningbing lived. As soon as they walked in, they saw Shen Ningbing meditating on the roof.
Sensing the approach of Li Qing and Old Man Mo, Shen Ningbing immediately stopped refining her Qi and slowly opened her beautiful eyes with a cold look.
Old man Mo said with admiration: "Young Daoist Shen is so diligent. No wonder he has reached the seventh level of the Qi refining stage at such a young age. This really puts me to shame, old man."
"This Waiting for talent, there is a high chance that Fellow Daoist Shen will succeed in building the foundation in the future."
Listening to Old Man Mo's admiration, Li Qing couldn't help but tease: "Yeah, I can't see ten! Years later, Fellow Daoist Shen will be able to successfully build the foundation, and then he will have to call himself Senior Shen.”
Shen Ningbing cut Li Qing angrily, with a cold and charming look in it.
"Haha, Fellow Daoist Li, your blessings are not small, but you still have to work harder, otherwise I'm afraid you will have no chance in the future!" Old Man Mo pointed to Li Qing as if he had experienced it.
What he secretly meant was that Li Qing should hurry up and cook with Shen Ningbing, otherwise Shen Ningbing might not like Li Qing anymore when her cultivation level becomes higher in the future.
As soon as these words came out, the expression that was still teasing Shen Ning Bing immediately stiffened slightly.
But Shen Ningbing was confused. She didn't understand what Old Man Mo was implying, and thought that Old Man Mo was saying that Li Qing would have no chance to build the foundation if he didn't work harder.
Seeing this scene, Li Qing coughed quickly, interrupting Shen Ningbing's thinking.
"Ahem, Mr. Mo, what do you want to talk to the two of us about this time? You might as well just say it."
Hearing Li Qing's straightforward words, Mr. Mo simply said Too lazy to beat around the bush anymore, he went straight to the point and said:
"That's it. I would like to invite two fellow Taoists to join the Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce and become worshipers of the Chamber of Commerce!"
After hearing this, Li Qing had a look on his face. Therefore, after making a thoughtful expression, he said:
"I'm sorry, husband, I'm used to being idle, and I don't like a restricted life. Next, I plan to go to other places to have a good experience."
"And with my shallow cultivation, in Xiangyang Cheng Na is grabbing a lot, and I don’t think I will be of much use to your merchant.”
Old man Mo seemed to have expected Li Qing’s rejection, but he still looked at it. 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 hasty to refuse, but you might as well listen to my conditions?"
"If the two fellow Taoists agree, I guarantee that I can give them the main medicine of the Foundation Establishment Pill in the future! And I can also recommend you to join the Ghost Sword Sect in the future!"
"In addition, Our Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce can also provide you with a place to practice your second-level spiritual veins.”
I have to say that this is definitely a very generous offer, even a bit too generous!
You must know that the total value of these things is unimaginably high for a monk in the Qi Refining Stage. It is a shocking gift. It is impossible for any monk in the Qi Refining Stage to refuse this.
For a moment, Li Qing even suspected that the other party had seen his identity as a foundation-building monk, or was using these things to test him.
But no matter what, acting still requires a complete performance.
Li Qing's eyes showed a touch of emotion, and it seemed that he was deeply moved by the price and treatment offered by Old Man Mo.
Soon, Li Qing showed a look of struggle again in his eyes: "My father-in-law, I don't get reward for my merits. If I want to get these benefits, I'm afraid it won't be that easy, right?"
A mere tip of the tongue is enough to agree to the invitation. Any monk in the Qi Refining Stage can do this. If these benefits are thrown out, I don’t know how many monks in the Qi Refining Stage will have to squeeze their heads.
Li Qing has never believed that pie will fall in the world. On the surface, he seems to be moved, but in his heart, he is clearer than anyone else.
Old Man Mo nodded with a wry smile and said: "Of course, there is only one condition for doing this, which is to get rid of Alchemist Yan!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Qing immediately showed a look of shock, and then stammered:
"My father-in-law, you think too highly of the two of us. Master Yan is a monk in the foundation-building stage. I'm afraid he can kill both of us with just one finger!"
"Go. We haven't lived enough to be enemies with a monk in the foundation building stage." As if he expected Li Qing's answer, Old Man Mo said solemnly:
"This Shuiyue Merchant Guild is the legacy of my incompetent son. The last inheritance given to us, grandfather and grandson, has now been usurped by Master Yan.”
“Now most of the Chamber of Commerce’s profits fall into Master Yan’s hands. As long as we can get rid of him and take back the Chamber of Commerce, I guarantee that you two will be guests of my Chamber of Commerce from now on!”
< br>"Of course, I don't want you to fight directly against Alchemist Yan. I have a righteous grandson in the Ghost Sword Sect. When the time comes, I can invite an elder from the Ghost Sword Sect to fight against Alchemy Master Yan."< br>
"Alchemist Yan is very anxious. You can tell from the look on Xiaoyou Shen's expression. I would like to ask two fellow Taoists to help me make a plan. Then..."
After listening. Li Qing sneered in his heart at the other party's plan.
If he hadn't made inquiries in the restaurant before, he might have believed this statement to be true.
The Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce was originally in a situation where it was about to collapse. If Master Yan hadn't stepped in to turn the tide, it would have ended up in an unknown corner. Isn't it natural for people to monopolize a large portion of the Chamber of Commerce's income?
Of course, the root cause of everything is that these conditions are not tempting enough for Li Qing in the foundation stage.
If he and Shen Ningbing were really just casual cultivators in the Qi refining stage, they might really consider the feasibility of joining forces.
With the help of Shen Ningbing's Hue, it will be relatively easy for the elders of the Ghost Sword Sect to kill the unsuspecting Alchemist Yan.
For some casual cultivators in the Qi refining period, for a foundation-building pill, not to mention just being lured by a beauty trap, even if they really let people give away their Taoist companions, it is estimated that many people will 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, but I still can't agree to this matter."
"Since you have been able to invite the elders of the Ghost Sword Sect to help, you can just let them take action. Yes, there is no need to go through such trouble.”
Old man Mo’s face looked a little bitter: “Well, to be honest, Master Yan did help the Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce a lot. If outsiders take action to get rid of him, it will bring bad reputation to the Chamber of Commerce.”
"I just need this excuse to maintain the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce, otherwise the reputation will be damaged in the future."
"Well, since Li Xiaoyou refuses, then I will no longer force it."
"But I have another request, that is, I hope you two can keep it a secret for me.”
Until now, Old Man Mo still thought that Li Qingshe refused because he had to sell Shen Ningbing’s appearance.
There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes, and he no longer had much expectations for Li Qing.
In his opinion, in the face of interests, if a monk cannot let go of a woman, his future path is destined to be short-term.
"Don't worry, I have the strictest mouth." Li Qing grinned, looking very bright and cheerful.
Afterwards, Old Man Mo walked out of the courtyard where Li Qing and Shen Ningbing lived.
Shen Ningbing never said a word from beginning to end, but the cold color in her eyes became extremely intense.
But soon she put away the coldness in her eyes, and then laughed at herself:
"Senior Brother Li, you are right in judging people. I thought that Old Man Mo was a simple and honest person, but I didn't expect it."
Li Qing said in an indifferent tone: "It's better to leave as soon as possible. I feel that he is a simple and honest person." There's going to be trouble down here."
"I did some research before I went out. There are caves for rent on several spiritual peaks not far outside the city, and a small workshop has also been opened. The market is for the monks to barter. "
"I plan to go there to rent a cave to practice meditation. How about you, Junior Sister Shen? "
Without any hesitation, Shen Ningbing said directly. : "I'll go too!"
So far, Li Qing has shown quite sophisticated survival experience as a casual cultivator, while Shen Ningbing just lacks in this aspect.
So naturally I decided to continue to gain more experience with Li Qing, which would at least save me a lot of worry.
"Then pack it up as soon as possible and leave tonight. I don't want to wait for Old Man Mo to really invite the elders of the Ghost Sword Sect to come over and create trouble."
"I have already found out clearly. , Ghost Sword Sect has a lot of power in this area, and it is a sect with an ancestor in the Nascent Soul stage, so it must not be provoked easily."
"But this is actually good news, Ghost Sword Sect. Being strong means that the territory is relatively safe and will not be easily affected by the Immortal War. It is considered a good place for retreat.”
Li Qing spoke very fast. As he spoke, he released his consciousness and habitually checked the surrounding situation.
Soon, Li Qing was slightly startled, and then sneered:
"It seems that Old Man Mo is not planning to let us leave easily. This means he does not believe that we will keep secrets for him. Ah.”
I saw that Old Man Mo had placed spies in several secret corners outside the courtyard. One or two of them were the bodyguards who were doing business with Old Man Mo. These people should be Old Man Mo’s confidant.
As for Shen Ningbing, she was lamenting the rich experience of Senior Brother Li a second ago, but after hearing these words, her face instantly darkened, and she was obviously aware of the abnormality outside the courtyard.
