Chapter 287: Negotiation
It's mid-January.
Approaching the end of the year, there is a little more celebration in Daye City and a little less slaughter.
I don't know if the Huo and Xu families each have ten masters of the Extraordinary Realm, the Zhang family and the Du family finally felt the crisis, and they no longer dared to press step by step in various businesses, but instead sent many cultivators to monitor outside the two families.
That afternoon, two men came in from outside the pharmacy, both about the same age, about thirty-five years old, one was handsome, with a lofty bearing, somewhat similar to Zhang Qilin, and was actually a half-step master of ascending immortals; The other is slightly short, thin, and feminine-looking, and it is Huo Zhen and Huo Erye, who have not been seen for more than half a year.
Li Changjing focused all his attention on the half-step immortal.
Just because the other party called himself Zhang Minghao.
The current head of the Zhang family, the one who beat Qingtan before!
Li Changjing remained silent and invited Zhang Minghao and Huo Zhen to the living room for tea.
"Mr. Li, don't come unharmed." Huo Zhen arched his hand and took the lead in greeting.
Li Changjing nodded, replied to him, and said calmly: "Long time no see." ”
Zhang Minghao sat next to him and didn't speak, and he didn't even introduce himself.
"Mr. Li is a cheerful person, so I'll just explain my intentions." Huo Zhen thought for a moment and said, "About the fact that there are more than ten extraordinary realms on the Huo family's side recently...... Is it related to Mr. Lee? ”
Li Changjing took a sip of tea and asked rhetorically, "Does Second Master Huo want this matter to be related to me?" ”
Huo Zhen glanced at Zhang Minghao, and his smile was a little embarrassed.
"Why do you knowingly ask?" Zhang Minghao looked at him, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a little coldness, "As far as I know, the reason why the Huo Xu family has so many masters is because of the reason why you have refined the Realm Breaking Pill for them. ”
Li Changjing nodded, he didn't expect this matter to be concealed for a long time, the Zhang family and the Du family are now in the ascendant of Daye City, how can they not have any eyeliner and intelligence organization?
"The Realm Breaking Pill was indeed taken from me." Li Changjing smiled and said, "I don't know what you want?" ”
"I don't want to do anything." Zhang Minghao sneered: "It's that I give Shopkeeper Li two choices now, one, immediately suspend the use of the Realm Breaking Pill, and two, hand over the prescription of the Realm Breaking Pill to me." ”
Li Changjing was amused, "The head of the Zhang family is really interesting. ”
"Who's kidding you?" Zhang Minghao's face was covered with a layer of coldness, and he said: "As far as I know, the Dan Fang of the Realm Breaking Pill has been lost for many years, only my Zhang family's ancestor Zhang Chunqiu has some Cheng Dan in his hands, but since he disappeared, these Cheng Dan have disappeared with him. ”
"What are you trying to express?" Li Changjing's heart froze, but on the surface, he was silent, and said strangely: "Do you suspect that I killed your ancestor?" ”
Zhang Minghao gritted his teeth and said: "On the wedding day of my third brother and Liu Qingtan, you happened to be there, and my ancestor happened to disappear that day, how could there be such a coincidence?!" ”
Li Changjing sneered: "These are just your guesses, you shouldn't come to me to settle accounts based on this, right?" ”
"Then you mean to continue to help the Huo family?" Zhang Minghao sneered: "It's just a small pharmacy, you are the only one out of the ordinary, have you thought about the consequences?" ”
This is already a naked threat.
Li Changjing smiled dumbly, he thought about it, and said meaningfully: "On that day, the head of the Zhang family united with four half-step immortal masters to besiege and kill me in the alley near Xu's house...... How should this account be calculated? ”
Hearing this, the corners of Zhang Minghao's mouth twitched, and he snorted coldly: "It's nonsense, I don't know what you're talking about." ”
Li Changjing suppressed the hatred in his heart, and the smile on his face became more and more intense.
On that day, except for the black-clothed man on the top of the telephone pole, the other four masters were the old woman Bai Mengli, the bamboo pole man, the tall and strong man with the red sword, and a half-step immortal in his early thirties.
Although except for Bai Mengli, the other four people did not see their appearance clearly, but Li Changjing had already determined from the moment Zhang Minghao came in that this person was the youngest master among the five! These triangular eyes, which would flicker a little cold from time to time, he remembered very well.
"I'm not afraid to tell the head of the Zhang family that if you can't kill me that day, then there will never be another chance." Li Changjing smiled and said: "At the same time, I can also tell you clearly that the Realm Breaking Pill is only provided to the Huo family and the Xu family, and I don't sell it no matter how much it costs." ”
"Then there's nothing to talk about." Zhang Minghao flicked his sleeves and got up, didn't even drink tea, and walked out angrily.
Approaching the door, Li Changjing shouted: "Master Zhang! ”
Zhang Minghao paused and turned around.
"Daye City is very dangerous now, you go out, pay more attention." Li Changjing looked at him with very friendly eyes.
Zhang Minghao was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that this was a threatening word, his face became more and more gloomy, and he slammed the door with Huo Zhen.
After the two of them left, Qing Tan came out of the inner room and said worriedly: "Angering him so much, will it attract revenge?" ”
"Don't worry." Li Changjing took her hand and said softly: "I was not at home before, and the shop still needs to be cautious, but now that I am here, I am afraid that he will not succeed in the Zhang family?" ”
————
At night, in the living room of the Xu family building.
The soft sofas around the crystal coffee table surrounded a circle of people.
"Thanks to Changjing's virtuous nephew, now that my Xu family has ten more masters of the Extraordinary Realm, the Du family finally doesn't dare to be so presumptuous." Xu Zhenlin was in a very good mood, his face was full of redness, and he enthusiastically poured tea for Li Changjing.
Huo sat on the right side softly and elegantly, his two slender legs overlapped, and he was also full of smiles, "Over there in Datong Town, there is news back today, and the remaining ten people will soon be able to break through the Extraordinary Realm, and when the time comes, my Huo family will have twenty masters of the Extraordinary Realm, and I will no longer be afraid of the threat of the Zhang family, and I believe that those investors who left will also come back one after another." ”
Li Changjing listened silently, took a sip of tea, and said to Xu Huaitian, Huo Qingyang and others standing next to him: "Why are you standing, sitting?" ”
Xu Huaitian was fine, his expression was calm, and his eyes were indifferent, but Huo Qingyang, Xu Huaibei, Wang Zhimeng, and Huo Qinglan, the younger generation, were a little blue, lowered their heads, and did not speak.
Who would have thought that last year was a waste that didn't even have a Dao tire, but this year it was like a different person, and his strength had reached the third order of deorquence in one fell swoop, not to mention, in the face of the joint siege of five half-step immortal masters, he even let him escape safely, what kind of means to reach the heavens?
Not only that, the emergence of the Evergreen Pharmacy has directly monopolized the pill industry in Daye City, and all the families do not want to take it under their command, which has also directly led to Li Changjing's worth skyrocketing all the way, and he has become a well-known figure in the cultivation circle, and his status can already be on an equal footing with the heads of major families.
The most unacceptable thing is that these cultivation geniuses who once thought they were extremely talented, even Li Changjing helped them get promoted, and there is nothing more ironic than this.
"Let them go." Xu Zhenlin said as a matter of course: "Your identity is different from theirs, and you still have to distinguish the priorities you should have." ”
Li Changjing saw that those people had no intention of sitting down, so he had no choice but to give up.
Xu Zhenlin saw that he seemed to be in a bad mood, and couldn't help asking: "Virtuous nephew, you seem to have something on your mind, have you encountered any difficulties?" ”
"It's not me who is in trouble, it's you." Li Changjing put down the cup, his eyes a little solemn.
"We're going to have a hard time?" Xu Zhenlin was surprised: "Where do you start with this?" Now my Xu family is very confident, and I am no longer afraid of the Du family! ”
"Of course you are not afraid of a Du family, but what if you add a Zhang family?"
Xu Zhenlin was stunned for a moment, then his face changed greatly, and he said in surprise: "You mean...... The Du family and the Zhang family have joined forces? ”
Li Changjing nodded.
Everyone stopped talking.
Xu Zhenlin and Huo Qingrou frowned, and their expressions were very heavy.
I didn't expect the worst to happen.
The Zhang family and the Du family joined forces, which was equivalent to occupying half of the sky of Daye City, plus each of them had two half-step immortal masters, once they made up their minds, the Huo family and the Xu family would be difficult to match.
The atmosphere was frozen for several minutes, and Xu Zhenlin took the lead in breaking the calm, and asked tentatively, "Nephew, what you said before...... Will it help us achieve a half-step immortal master, I don't know if I can do it? ”
Li Changjing nodded, "Don't worry, I promised you something, I will definitely do it, and I came here for this matter tonight." ”
Xu Zhenlin was overjoyed, "I don't know what I need my Xu family to do?" ”
"Don't do anything." Li Changjing took another sip of tea, "You just need to pick out the candidates." ”
Xu Zhenlin immediately said: "Where do I still need to choose from my Xu family, Huairou is the most suitable person." ”
"She's not suitable, change another." Li Changjing looked at Xu Huairou, who was teasing the ragdoll cat at the door, and immediately shook his head.
Just kidding, Miss Xu is an extremely cold bloodline, and she has an ice spirit, and her future is destined to be limitless, she must fight steadily and break through the realm naturally. The realm of rapid achievement will do more harm than good to her future avenue, and Li Changjing will definitely not let her do this.
"Then ......" Xu Zhenlin hesitated for a moment and set his eyes on Xu Huaitian, "Or, let Huaitian come?" ”
Li Changjing glanced at Xu Huaitian and nodded: "He is indeed a good candidate, he is a second-order detached mortal, if he wants to be promoted to a half-step immortal, it will be much easier." ”
"Good! Then let's have the sky! Xu Zhenlin immediately made up his mind about this matter.
Once Xu Huaitian achieves a half-step immortal ascension, then with Cheng Ruoshui, the Xu family will be equivalent to having two super masters, and the remaining ten people will also come back from Datong Town one after another, even if the Zhang Du family joins forces, the Xu family will be fearless!
"Mr. Li, I don't know who my Huo family should choose?" Huo Qingrou looked a little worried, the Huo family was originally a family famous for doing business, and the cultivators were much weaker than the Xu family, although there are many transcendent realms now, but it can only be regarded as this realm, and there is not even a second-order degraded like Xu Huaitian.
"Brother Ling is good." Li Changjing set his eyes on Huo Qingyang.
Huo Qingrou hesitated for a moment and asked, "I don't know if there is a risk in achieving a half-step immortal?" ”
"Of course there are risks." Li Changjing replied truthfully: "But I can guarantee that even if he fails to break through the realm, at least his life will not be in danger." ”
Huo breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Then let my brother go." Qingyang, haven't you thanked Mr. Li? ”
Huo Qingyang, who was very handsome, had a dark face, arched his hand towards Li Changjing, and whispered thank you.
Xu Zhenlin also said to Xu Huaitian: "Huaitian, you should also say thank you to others." ”
It's just that Xu Huaitian sneered, turned his face to the side, and didn't care about it at all.
"You!" Xu Zhenlin was a little angry, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.
Li Changjing didn't care, he had already seen that Xu Huaitian was born with arrogance, and it was impossible for him to bow to anyone, even if the other party had defeated him and his strength was higher than him.
Besides, taking people's money and eliminating disasters for others, the Huo family and the Xu family gave him a total of 600 million, such a large sum of money, of course, it is impossible to use it all to buy medicinal materials, in fact, there is almost half left, Li Changjing plans to use this money to open a branch, and then hire a group of talents to teach them techniques by hand, and then there will be no need for him and Lu Li to personally refine the pill.
"By the way, the head of the Xu family, the third lady." Li Changjing suddenly remembered something, and said solemnly: "Our cultivation circle and the mortal circle are two completely different worlds, please be sure to restrain the cultivators in your family, prohibit them from interfering with the lives of ordinary people, and prohibit bullying the weak." ”
Xu Zhenlin and Huo Qingrou nodded immediately, both saying that they would definitely discipline the cultivators in their families strictly.
Li Changjing snorted and stood up, "You guys talk first, I'll go to the toilet." ”
He pretended to go out of the door, but pulled Xu Huairou aside and said to her, "You have heard what I said just now, and now I need you to do me a favor." ”
"Fuck off." Miss Xu hugged her big white cat, broke off Li Changjing's hand, walked to the side with a calm face, and didn't look at him.
Li Changjing looked stunned, and said in his heart, why are you angry, I didn't provoke you?
