Chapter 7 Don't bow your head
Five hundred taels is really a sky-high price for ordinary people like Li Qing and Pan Dahai.
Let's put it this way, Li Qing's monthly living expenses are about seven or eight taels of silver. In Cangyun Martial Academy, each meal of A dish is one tael of silver, and the second dish is half a tael of silver, as for the C dish that Li Qing usually eats the most, it only costs one-tenth of a tael of silver for a meal. One tael of silver is equal to a hundred denarii, which is ten denarii.
Ten dollars for a meal of C-dish, three taels of silver is enough to eat for a month!
Of course, because of the need to grow his body, Li Qing occasionally eats dish B, but as for dish A, he has hardly eaten it.
Now he has received these five hundred taels of silver, which means five hundred meals of nail dishes!
"Good boy, a painting was sold for five hundred taels of silver! Haha, I said I would have let you take it out and sell it earlier! We said okay, three meals of nail dishes! No, we have to eat five meals!" It is that the little fat man Pan Dahai's family background is slightly better than Li Qing's, and he only eats one dish a month at most, and now he is naturally excited when he hears this number.
Fat, there is almost nothing that is not greedy.
"No problem, five meals is five meals! Even ten meals are no problem!" Li Qing can also be described as ecstasy, this is simply from a poor peasant to a landlord all of a sudden, and he can't help but feel that he has become wealthy.
Five hundred taels!
He knew very well that his father would not be able to earn this amount of money even if he worked for a year! Now that he had earned so much from a single painting, happiness came too suddenly and even a little unreal!
"With these five hundred taels, you won't have to cut down on food and clothing to buy painting paper in the future!" Li Qing's heart was full of joy, it was the first time he had gotten so much money.
More importantly, this proves that his paintings can be sold for money, which is equivalent to opening up a way to make money! Even if the paintings he paints in the future are not as good as this one of the proud bamboo pictures in the wind, they should be worth at least a few dozen taels!
From then on, he was able to be self-sufficient, and he didn't need to work hard at home to study.
Thinking of his parents, who worked hard to support him, Li Qing's heart was also touched, how he hoped that he could reduce their burden as soon as possible, and now he finally has the opportunity to realize it.
"It turned out that the picture of the proud bamboo in the wind was painted by this little boy, and the customer who sold the painting admired it very much, especially after knowing that you were a student of the Cangyun Martial Academy, he bought it on the spot for five hundred taels. The owner of the gallery was a red-faced old man, and he looked quite polite when he saw Li Qing: "There will be paintings in the future, you can bring them to our Aoba Gallery again, and this time I won't charge you any fees." β
"It must be, thank you, uncle. Li Qing hurriedly thanked him. Originally, he had to charge 10 percent of the commission for consignment in the gallery, but now he has 50 taels of silver left, which is enough for him to eat for several months.
Leaving the gallery, Li Qing and Pan Dahai are obviously in good spirits, and even Pan Dahai has straightened his waist, but now he is his best friend A painting sold for five hundred taels, and he is honored.
As for the Xie family who was about to go, the two of them were obviously not so nervous.
......
The Xie family is one of the four major families in Cangyun City, and their mansion is naturally in Cangyun City.
After turning two streets, Li Qing and Pan Dahai finally arrived at their destination.
This Xie family occupies a large area of land, is a tall family, and has a strong momentum, with a thick sense of antiquity. It is said that among the four major families in Cangyun City, the Xie family has the longest history, and now when I see it, I feel like this.
"The four families are the four families, and one faΓ§ade is much bigger than our entire house. Pan Dahai had been holding his waist straight before, but when he came to the door of the Xie family, he couldn't help but be short and nervous.
"Indeed, this can be called a family, and I will also help our Li family create a foundation in the future!" Li Qing clenched his fists slightly at this time, and secretly thought in his heart. He remembered his home outside the city, not only did he have no security to speak of, but it was like a thatched house compared to this big family.
And next to the Xie family, there is a rather special building, simple and elegant, antique, although it is much smaller, but the momentum is not inferior to the Xie family's portal.
"Floating Cloud Pill Pavilion. On top of the ancient building, there is a low-key and unignorable plaque, and the four words seem to have a special magic, which makes people feel a sense of reverence at a glance.
Li Qing knew that this was the place where the pill was sold.
On top of this Xuanhuang Da 6, alchemists are very scarce, which also causes the price of the pill to be extremely expensive, and it is by no means affordable for ordinary people.
Li Qing and Pan Dahai stood in front of this Fuyun Dan Pavilion for a while, and they could see that the people who came and went here were either rich or noble, and most of them were clansmen from the major families in Cangyun City.
Occasionally, there are some martial artists who are born and died, they make a living in the wilderness, and they often encounter danger, and if they have an elixir, they will seem to be more secure, and sometimes they can even save their lives.
Anyway, although Li Qing now has five hundred taels of silver on his body from selling paintings, he has also visited the Dan Pavilion with a cheeky face before, and he knows very well that his little silver is really not enough to buy a real pill, at most he can only buy a few semi-finished products, such as liquid medicine.
Among them, the Mighty Pill refined from the Mighty Grass he had taken was of great benefit to the Refining Body Realm, and the price he vaguely remembered was 100,000 taels, which could be called a sky-high price, and ordinary people could not afford it without eating or drinking in their lives.
"The letter said that I would become the Danwu Emperor in the future, could it be that I would become a noble alchemist in the future?" But at this time, Li Qing also had a special feeling when he looked at this Floating Cloud Dan Pavilion, and the more he looked forward to his future.
At this moment, Pan Dahai suddenly pulled the corners of his clothes.
"What's wrong?" Li Qing came back to his senses, and followed the eyes of his dead party, and saw several vaguely familiar figures walking out of the Fuyun Dan Pavilion.
For a young man in brocade clothes with an extraordinary atmosphere, fair skin, high corners of his eyes, and a faint arrogance on his face, as if he didn't put anything in his eyes. And the few people behind him were Zhao Xing and several other teenagers who had fought with Li Qing, and they were all following behind him very respectfully at this time, obviously taking this teenager as the one.
"Zhao Hao?" After a little thought, Li Qing guessed the identity of this young man.
This young man is none other than Zhao Hao, who is from the Zhao family's lineage of the four major families in Cangyun City, and he is also one of the top ten geniuses of the Cangyun Martial Academy.
Although they had not been in contact with each other, he also knew that this person was Zhao Xing's boss, and Pan Dahai also analyzed to him that the rumors he was rumored some time ago were probably related to this person.
And soon, Zhao Xing and the others also appeared Li Qing and Pan Dahai, and the corners of Zhao Xing's eyes sank, so he took two steps forward and said a few words in Zhao Hao's ear.
Then, Zhao Hao's gaze fell on Li Qing's body, it seemed that he had always been above the top before, and he was completely disdainful of Li Qing and Pan Dahai, who were ordinary at first glance.
"Let's go, A-Qing, let's go in first. Pan Dahai was worried that Li Qing would be embarrassed by Zhao Hao, so he planned to pull the latter to Xie's house.
"Li Qing!" But it was already late, and at this time Zhao Xing shouted loudly: "Our young master wants to talk to you." β
Hearing this, Li Qing frowned slightly, and Pan Dahai couldn't continue to pull Li Qing in, which would be considered not to give Zhao Hao face, and it would be even more offended.
Soon, Zhao Hao and the others also walked from the Dan Pavilion to the Xie family's portal.
"What are you doing here?" Zhao Hao glanced at Li Qing again, and then asked lightly.
"Back to Young Master Zhao Hao, it was Miss Wan Ran who invited us here. Pan Dahai replied to help Li Qing.
"I didn't ask you. Zhao Hao glanced at Pan Dahai at this time, but obviously didn't put it in his eyes and said.
"Little fat man, you'd better shut up, there's no room for you to talk here!" Zhao Xing shouted at this time, and the dog was in a situation.
"Zhao Xing, what qualifications do you have?" Pan Dahai was angry and didn't dare to speak, but Li Qing raised his head to look at Zhao Xing, his eyes were very cold. Pan Dahai is his best friend, and he can't watch him being ridiculed.
"You are looking for death!" Zhao Xing was furious, but was quickly stopped by Zhao Hao raising his hand, the latter looked at Li Qing again, and said in a cold tone: "It seems that the lesson you learned a few days ago is not enough, you still have the face to appear in front of Wan Ran." But I advise you to be a little self-aware and not have any wishful thinking. β
"Sure enough, it has something to do with him!" Li Qing's fist in his sleeve clenched slightly, it was Pan Dahai's guess before, but now Zhao Hao's words are equivalent to admitting himself.
"I've never had any wishful thinking, but this Zhao Hao put me in trouble because of unwarranted speculation, lost my face, let me be ridiculed, and let me be said to be unaware!" His heart was full of anger, and his nails also seeped into the flesh and blood at this time, and a kind of pain was painful to the bone.
Although he didn't care on the surface, how could a hot-blooded boy be completely unaffected?
has no strength and no status, and it is really embarrassing to live!
At this time, Li Qing was so eager for strength, looking at that nasty face, he really wanted to beat it to pieces with one punch!
But he knew he had to endure it again!
Zhao Hao not only has the strength of the sevenfold peak of body refining, but he also has the Zhao family, one of the four major families in Cangyun City, behind him.
Li Qing knew in his heart that with his current strength, it was not yet time to settle accounts with the other party!
"Li Qing, I heard that you broke through to the sixth level of body refining a few days ago, and you also defeated Zhao Xing, but you should know that this strength is nothing in front of me at all. Seeing that Li Qing didn't speak, Zhao Hao's expression was arrogant, and he said lightly again: "Now I can give you a chance to join my subordinates! β
"Li Qing, don't think that you are so great when you reach the sixth level of body refining, this is a golden opportunity for you, I hope you don't make mistakes! Also, I lost to you that day, but I underestimated the enemy, don't think that I am really not your opponent!" Zhao Xing also said at this time.
"Great benefit, golden opportunity?" Li Qing smiled, he could bear it, but he must not bow his head and be a dog.
"Huh, you don't agree?" Regarding Li Qing's attitude, the coldness in Zhao Hao's eyes was revealed.
"Sorry, I'm not really interested in being a dog. Li Qing was expressionless, and said without the slightest fear of looking at Zhao Hao. He has his own dignity and persistence, and if there is really no way to avoid it, he would rather fight to the death!
"You brought this on yourself!" Zhao Hao took a step slowly, his whole body crackling with muscles and bones, showing his majesty.
"Li Qing, the sea, you are finally here. Just at this moment, a voice suddenly came, and then a bright figure Ying Ying walked out of Xie's house.
