After returning to the Shuiyue Merchant Guild, Li Qing was about to tell Shen Ningbing that he planned to rent a spiritual vein cave outside the city for practice. Li Qing will not express any opinions whether she goes with him or stays at Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce. Of course, it would be great if Shen Ningbing was willing to rent the cave together. With two foundation-building monks together, they would always have someone to take care of them, and their ability to withstand risks would also increase a lot. 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 going out? It just so happens that I have something I want to talk to you about." Seeing Old Man Mo's amiable expression, Li Qing couldn't feel any intimacy in his heart, but instead 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? Daoyou Shen and I have always wanted to find an opportunity to repay the kindness of staying overnight and guiding the way. ” 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 praised him and said, "Young Taoist Shen is so diligent. No wonder he has reached the Qi refining stage at such a young age." "With such talent, there is a high possibility that Fellow Daoist Shen will succeed in building a foundation in the future!" Listening to Old Man Mo's admiration, Li Qing couldn't help but tease: "Yeah, I can't see that in ten years, Fellow Daoist Shen will be able to successfully build the foundation. 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 won't have a chance in the future!" Old Man Mo pointed to Li Qing as if he had experienced it. Overtly and covertly, his intention was to let Li Qing quickly cook rice 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 Ningbing 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 several times, interrupting Shen Ningbing's thinking. "Ahem, Uncle Mo, what do you want to talk to the two of us about this time? You might as well just tell us." After hearing Li Qing's straight-to-the-point words, Old Man Mo simply didn't bother to beat around the bush anymore and went straight to the point: "That's it. I would like to invite two fellow Taoists to join the Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce and become worshippers of the chamber of commerce!" After Li Qing heard this, he pretended to have a thoughtful look on his face, and then he said: "I'm sorry, husband, I'm used to being idle and don't like a restricted life. I plan to go to other places to have a good experience." "And with my shallow cultivation, I can catch a lot of people in Xiangyang City. 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 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 Building Pill in the future! And I can also recommend you to join the Ghost Sword Sect in the future!" "In addition, our Shuiyue Merchant Guild 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 condition, 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, a look of struggle appeared in Li Qing's eyes: "My father-in-law, you don't get reward for your merits. If you want to get these benefits, I'm afraid it won't be that easy, right?" Any monk in the Qi-refining stage can do it by simply saying yes to the invitation. 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 all this, get rid of Alchemist Yan!" As soon as these words came out, Li Qing immediately showed a look of shock, and then said with some stuttering: "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!" "To make an enemy of a monk in the foundation building stage, we haven't lived enough yet." 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 by my useless son to us, 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 Establishment Elder of the Ghost Sword Sect to attack Master Yan." "Master Yan is very anxious. You can tell from the expression he gave to 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.
