Chapter 154 Help In a private room on the second floor of the Yingbin Building, Lin Tianming and his wife were sitting 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 when he heard the news.
The purpose of coming to Qianchuanbo City on this trip is to establish a foothold in the city, but it is not that easy to open a store in the city. Due to the strong popularity of Qianchuanfang City, business has been very good. Most of the families doing business in Fangfang City have made 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 Foundation Establishment family. Sometimes a store location is competed by more than ten companies, and some forces even form grudges over 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, which was extremely lucky.
Thinking of this, Lin Shilu suppressed his excitement and then asked: "Tianming, how do you think it is true that the Gao family plans to sell Lingxiao Tower? Is there any secret in it?"
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, judging from the fact that the Gao family was attacked by the Wei and Zhou families together, and the entire Gao family suffered heavy losses, the Gao family may really have this intention."
"It is!"
Lin Shilu nodded, and Lin Tianming continued to add.
"If the Gao family is serious about canceling 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 get a place!"
"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 Fang City 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 takes!"
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 flickered again, Ye Pinghai's figure suddenly appeared at the entrance to the private room.
After not seeing each other for several years, Ye Pinghai's aura seems to have become stronger.
Lin Shilu pulled Lin Tianming forward, with a deep smile on his face, and then cupped his hands and clasped his 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 gesture with his hands clasped.
Then when he saw Lin Tianming, he was immediately surprised, and then said in an admiring tone.
"Little friend Lin is indeed a true dragon among men. We haven't seen each other for a few years, but he has already successfully established the foundation. This cultivation speed is really terrifying!"
Lin Shilu chuckled and replied humbly.
"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 immortal cultivation!"
After speaking, Ye Pinghai did not continue the topic. When he waved his hand, he changed the subject and joked:
"Since Xiaoyou Lin has made a breakthrough, we are all Foundation Establishment monks, so we should treat each other as Taoist friends!"
When Lin Tianming heard this, he shook his head repeatedly, and then said:
"Senior Ye has defeated this junior. Although we are both Foundation Establishers, you are at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment. 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 grandfather and my fifteenth grandfather, and you have helped the Lin family many times. If I treat you as a Taoist friend, wouldn't it mess up the seniority?"
"Ha ha……"
After listening to Lin Tianming's explanation, Ye Pinghai smiled happily, and the two of them suddenly became closer to each other.
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, you might as well call me Grandpa Hai, okay?"
"My grandnephew has met Grandpa Hai!" Lin Tianming naturally would not object and immediately bowed his hands.
After listening to Ye Pinghai's words, he took the initiative to express his goodwill to the Lin family. Lin Shilu on the side was very happy and kept talking.
"As it should be!"
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.
He stood up and poured wine for Ye Pinghai, but he did not forget to say:
"Brother Ye, these pots of 'Haoyu Fruit Wine' were brewed by my ninth brother myself, and a large amount of precious elixirs were added to them. They have the effect of improving one's cultivation. It is easy to be reluctant to take them out to drink." "
"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 won't be able to enjoy the meal!"
After hearing what Lin Shilu said, Ye Pinghai chuckled, with a look of expectation on his face.
"Really? Then I have to taste it carefully, otherwise I won't be able to bear my concern for Brother Shi Gong!"
The enthusiastic Lin Shilu entertained Ye Pinghai, while Lin Tianming sat next to Lin Shilu.
While he was devouring the spirit beast meat, Lin Tianming did not forget to get up and pour wine for the two of them.
Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.
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. This can be regarded as repaying the Lin family's life-saving grace!"
Seeing him clarifying the matter, Lin Shilu smiled bitterly and said:
"As expected, as Brother Ye expected, 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 store and establish yourself in Qiankawabo City?"
"Is it possible that the Gao family's Lingxiao Tower will change hands?"
Ye Pinghai was a little stunned. 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, couldn't gain a foothold in Qianchuanfang City.
Nowadays, there are eight members of the Lin family who have built a foundation. With such strength, they can dominate the entire Luoyun Mountains. Naturally, they will not be willing to stay in a small 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 advice at all.
Not only that, the shops in Fangshi all rent for 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 only have to wait for the opportunity to change hands midway, but this kind of 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's eyebrows raised, his expression solemn, and he fell 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.
After more than ten breaths passed, Ye Pinghai slowly said: "Brother Lin, although this matter is difficult to handle, it is not impossible. As long as the Lingxiao Tower really changes hands, we can give it a try. After decades in Fang City, Brother Wei still has some connections that can be used, and maybe we can make a deal out of it. two."
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 be successful, 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 now. 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 get a generous reward!"
After Lin Shilu spoke sincerely, 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 about it. It is better to confirm the authenticity of this matter in the next few days and 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 glasses of spiritual wine.
Then the two of them wisely changed the topic and began to exchange their thoughts 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 spirit beast meat. The little spiritual power contained in the spirit 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 and said excitedly: "Thank you for your trouble, brother. As soon as I have any news, I will send you a message immediately!"
"Okay!" Ye Pinghai responded.
Then the three of them stood up and walked out of the Yingbin Building together. After holding their fists together, they walked towards their respective caves.
Back in the temporarily rented cave, Lin Tianfeng and others had already returned to the small courtyard.
Gather a few people together and summarize the information they have 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 falling into silence, Lin Tianfeng asked: "Next, how should we act?"
After another few breaths of silence, 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."
"As for the matter of Lingxiao Tower, tomorrow Grandpa Fifteen and I will go to 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 that 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 Fellow Daoist Ye helping out, there is still a lot of hope."
After hearing this, the expressions of Lin Tianfeng and others softened a lot.
At the end of the day, they wandered around various places in Fangshi, and 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 Master Jindan, Ye Pinghai is the best among the foundation-building monks in Qianchuanfang City, where there are many powerful people. Relying on his 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!"
"Okay, it's getting late, everyone, let's go 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.
As a result of 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, Taicai had 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 easy to handle this matter.
"That's all, let's go and take a look tomorrow..."
Lin Tianming muttered something to himself, fell asleep, and soon began to snore one after another.
