Chapter 228: It's All Interests
On the surface, it looks like a shop selling medicinal herbs, but behind the scenes, it is a stronghold of a gray industry.
As long as the monk is willing to come up with enough spirit stones, he can not only ask the Hui Cao Tang for some special secrets and information, but even hire powerful monks here.
Of course, the business of Hui Cao Tang is not as rampant as that of the ghost liquor store, which mainly undertakes the purchase of murder, while the Hui Cao Tang focuses on intelligence and secret news.
The reason why Zhao Ping'an chose to come here was because the Huicao Hall had a good secrecy, even if he leaked the plan of the Heavenly Chosen Holy Land to the Li, and the Tianxuan Holy Land would be investigated afterwards, it would be difficult to trace him.
"This guest, welcome to our store, I don't know what elixir materials you need to buy?"
Just as Zhao Ping'an entered the Huicao Hall, the old man, who was still dozing off at the counter, quickly opened his eyes and asked with a smile.
His beard was white, and his face was wrinkled, but his eyes were clear and bright, revealing a powerful spirit.
"I want to buy a few medicinal herbs that replenish blood and qi, hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, thousand-year-old ginseng, and 10,000-year-old animal bones."
Zhao Ping'an seemed to expect the other party to ask this question, and said calmly.
The medicinal materials he said are all rare things, not to mention a shop that sells medicinal materials, even a powerful immortal cultivation sect may not be able to get together, the reason why Zhao Ping'an opened his mouth like this is to show his intention to do a gray business with Huicaotang.
"Oh? These herbs are extremely rare and extremely valuable, but we still have some stock in stock, are you sure you want to buy them? β
The old man looked at Zhao Ping'an and asked again and again.
Zhao Ping'an disguised himself as an ordinary monk with an ordinary appearance at this time, and the mana fluctuations that seemed to be emitted on the surface were also at the late stage of qi refining.
Zhao Ping'an didn't talk nonsense, and casually threw out a storage bag, which contained thousands of medium-grade spirit stones.
"Medium-grade spirit stones!"
The old man's eyes widened and he was very surprised.
But after all, he was a figure who had seen the world, and his expression soon returned to normal.
He smiled flatteringly and said politely, "Guest, come in with me to talk." β
Soon, under his guidance, Zhao Ping'an came to a secret room inside.
"Guest, I don't know if there is anything we can do to help you."
After entering the secret room, the old man grinned and asked.
You can take out thousands of medium-grade spirit stones at your fingertips, and this one in front of you should not be an ordinary monk. But Hui Caotang does business and never cares about the identity of the other party.
"Do one thing for me."
Zhao Ping'an said lightly.
"Tell me."
The old man's eyes lit up and he said.
β¦β¦
Half an hour later, Zhao Ping'an walked straight out of the Huicao Hall.
"I've done everything I could."
"I hope that the people of the clan can fight for some qi and not be crushed by the Tianxuan Holy Land, otherwise, it will be a big trouble for me."
Zhao Ping'an muttered to himself, and immediately returned directly to the medicine garden.
"Zhao Fushi!"
As soon as he returned to the medicine garden, he was stopped by a pretty figure, this woman was none other than Lin Yu of the Lin family.
"Lin Yu, it's you again."
Zhao Ping'an had a headache, this woman didn't stay in the Lin family, so she had to come here to disturb herself.
"Why, you don't want to see me?"
"The more you don't want to see me, the more I want to be in front of you."
Lin Yu crossed his hands on his hips and snorted softly.
"Miss Lin, I've heard about you."
"What happened to the Lin family?"
After all, he has known Lin Yu for many years, and Zhao Ping'an still asked.
"Don't mention it."
"The old guys in the family want to marry me into the Heavenly Xuan Holy Land."
Lin Yu did not hide it, and briefly told what happened in the Lin family not long ago.
It turned out that a few days ago, the Tianxuan Holy Land was defeated and retreated, and the Holy Land was as powerful as the sky.
The development of the Lin family has not been very smooth over the years, and several immortal cultivation families have set their sights on the Lin family's industry, in order to ensure the stability and development potential of the Lin family, the high-level leaders of the Lin family have discussed and prepared to find a powerful force to marry.
At this time, there was news that Lu Xingguo, a disciple of Tianxuan Holy Land, had recruited Taoist companions, and the high-level of the Lin family sent people to contact Lu Xingguo.
At the beginning, the Lin family planned to arrange a descendant woman to promise Lu Xingguo as a Taoist couple, but the latter refused.
Lu Xingguo named and asked Lin Yu, the eldest lady of the Lin family, to marry him, Lin Yu was naturally unwilling, but due to the persecution of the family leaders, he could only temporarily leave the Lin family and run to the Sword Sect to avoid the limelight.
"Tianxuan Holy Land's personal disciple Lu Xingguo? Is he strong? β
Zhao Ping'an was a little curious and asked.
"Of course it's strong."
"The personal disciple of the Tianxuan Holy Land, that is the candidate for the heir of the Holy Land, and that Lu Xingguo is a strong man in the Jindan Realm at a young age, and the Lu family behind him not only has a strong influence in Nanjun, but also has a certain influence in other regions."
Lin Yu said in a complicated tone.
"In that case, why don't you get married?"
"The other party must have a background and a background, and they must have strength and strength."
Zhao Ping'an said as a matter of course.
"What do you say?"
Lin Yu pursed his lips and stared at Zhao Ping'an, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.
"My Miss Lin, you don't want to say it's because of me, do you?"
Zhao Ping'an was full of black lines and asked tentatively.
"You're less stinky and beautiful, of course not."
Lin Yu snorted lightly and explained: "Although the other party is a disciple of the Holy Land and has a strong strength and background, I have already inquired privately, this person has provoked many women, and he has already recruited several concubines before, if I continue to marry, on the surface, it may still be ...... Taoist couple."
Lin Yu's face was full of indignation, and he didn't continue.
Hearing this, Zhao Ping'an suddenly realized.
No wonder Lin Yu resisted the arrangement of the Lin family's high-level leaders so much, it simply pushed her into a fire pit.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ping'an felt a little sympathetic to Lin Yu.
This is the helplessness of the heir of the Xiuxian family, although most of the time the scenery is incomparable, but once the family encounters problems, they will be immediately pushed out by the clansmen.
In the final analysis, it is still the interests that dictate.
"And what are you going to do?"
"You can't stay in the Sword Sect forever."
Zhao Ping'an then asked.
Lin Yu is the eldest lady of the Lin family, if she stays in the Sword Sect for a few days temporarily, the Lin family's side may not be careful, but if you hide here for a long time, spreading the word may cause the Lin family to be dissatisfied with the Sword Sect.
"Or else?"
"Do you want to drive me away?"
"Master Zhao, I can be regarded as helping you before."
"You're not going to be that ruthless, are you?"
Speaking of this, Lin Yu's big eyes blinked and asked delicately.
"This ......"
Zhao Ping'an's head was big, he waved his hand, and said, "I don't mean to drive you away, I just want to say that escaping can't solve the problem." β
Hearing this, Lin Yu nodded and said, "Master Zhao, you're right, I also think that escaping can't solve the problem. β
"Otherwise, you will pretend to be my fiancΓ© for the time being, so that the old things of the Lin family will not be able to continue to promise me to Lu Xingguo."
Lin Yu grinned and said jokingly.
"You'd better find someone else."
"I don't want to offend your Lin family."
Zhao Ping'an shook his head and refused very simply.
"It's stingy."
"You don't want to help me with this little favor."
Lin Yu stomped his foot, seemingly a little angry.
Immediately after, as if she remembered something, she snorted lightly: "It's okay if you don't want to help me, but your Sword Sect is in trouble now." β
"The Sword Sect is in trouble?" Zhao Ping'an raised his eyebrows slightly, the development of the Sword Sect has been quite stable over the years, how can there be trouble.
"You haven't heard of it, have you?" Seeing Zhao Ping'an's reaction, Lin Yu said slowly: "The envoy of the Tianxuan Holy Land is here, and for the sake of the fall of several disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall before, he asked the Sword Sect to hand over all the talisman masters for investigation. β
"It is said that the Zhenyi Pavilion of the Sword Sect at the foot of the mountain made talismans for the great enemy of the Tianxuan Holy Land, and not long ago, several disciples of the Holy Land Law Enforcement Hall came to deal with this matter, but in the end, they all died tragically."
"Now the high-level leaders of the Sword Sect are arguing, discussing whether to hand over the sect's talisman master."
Speaking of this, Lin Yu gloated a little and continued: "Master Zhao, you are also a Master of the Sword Sect, if the sect agrees to the request of the Tianxuan Holy Land, I am afraid that you will be taken to the Holy Land." β
"There is such a thing!" Zhao Ping'an was a little surprised, but on the whole, his reaction was quite calm, and it seemed that the strength of the Tianxuan Holy Land exceeded his expectations.
"Master Zhao, you have to think of a way out."
"If it really doesn't work, we can elope together."
Lin Yu blinked her beautiful eyes and said with a smile.
"Even if I have to run away, I won't elope with you."
"But thank you for the reminder."
Zhao Ping'an knew that Lin Yu was making fun of himself, and he also responded jokingly.
"You don't like me like that?"
The speaker had no intention, but listening to it, Lin Yu seemed to be really angry, stomped his little feet, and then turned around and left.
