Chapter 58 The Position of Leader
After hearing the first thing that Mrs. Red Mansion promised to exchange, Qin Zhan already knew in his heart that he couldn't refuse.
For Qin Zhan, who is now in the realm of imperial qi, he already has some ideas after breaking through the realm of imperial qi. In the realm of cultivating immortals, after the imperial qi, it is no longer as easy to break through as the small-level realms such as eating qi and refining qi. In the realm of cultivating immortals, after controlling qi, it is to take life.
The chasm between the two is like heaven and earth. As the realm of immortal cultivators gradually deepens, it will become more and more difficult to break through the realm. Therefore, for the elixir that breaks through the Great Realm, it is extremely precious for any immortal cultivator.
It's just that although he was quite moved by the Bright Moon Heart Pill in the mouth of the Red Mansion Lady, Qin Zhan had already learned his lesson and didn't show any more meaning. And more importantly, the three things that Mrs. Red Mansion said are only one of the things that can be exchanged.
At the moment, Qin Zhan was still silent and listened quietly. At this time, I heard Mrs. Hongwang continue to say:
"As for the second thing, these three Spiritual Trees are the three Spiritual Trees. I heard that the child's Qin Baifeng Medicine Shop has been looking for such rare materials at all costs recently, and it just so happens that there are three such spiritual trees in the concubine's body pavilion. Although there is no special market price for this spirit wood, according to the 35,000 spirit stones collected by Gongzi's pharmacy, so that the three spirit trees can be regarded as worth 100,000 spirit stones. ”
The Lady of the Red Chamber said the second thing again. And this thing is obviously also specially aimed at Qin Zhan.
As for the Wood of Words and Spirits, Qin Zhan originally wanted to refine the eight out-of-body incarnations of the Hundred Damage Demon Venerable, and he really needed this kind of spirit wood, so the second thing that Madam Hongwang said was undoubtedly in Qin Zhan's arms.
But after hearing the second thing that Mrs. Honglin said, Qin Zhan had to force himself to calm down.
Then, when they saw that Qin Zhan was still listening expressionlessly, Mrs. Hongwang and Liu Ping, who had been repeated, began to be a little anxious because they couldn't see whether Qin Zhan was satisfied or not.
"I wonder what the prince thinks of the two things that the concubine said earlier?"
At this time, Mrs. Red Mansion finally couldn't help but ask.
"Madame, such things are all aimed at the below, where can there be any opinion. If it weren't for the fact that there was not enough spirit stone ore, I really wanted to agree to it. ”
Qin Zhan replied ambiguously. Although he had already indicated that he was satisfied with the two things, he did not seriously give an answer as to whether he agreed to exchange them.
"Hehe, it seems that Gongzi is fishing for concubines. After the concubine body still says the third thing, it is up to the son to decide whether he is willing to do this comparison with the concubine. ”
Regarding Qin Zhan's attitude, Mrs. Red Mansion also saw the problem in a spicy manner.
"This third thing is a ticket for 400,000 spirit stones, which can be regarded as a promise of the concubine. As long as Childe helps us this time, we can get through it. After the difficulty is over, we will owe Gongzi 400,000 spirit stones. It's just that these 400,000 spirit stones may not be given to Gongzi all at once, but can only be given in batches. For the first two things, we have already given Childe 200,000 spirit stones. As for the extra 100,000 spirit stones that were calculated for Childe later, it is regarded as the interest we will give to Childe. Childe can be regarded as a sure profit. ”
I only heard Mrs. Red Mansion continue.
Although Madame's words are so easy, if you want to earn these 100,000 spirit stones, the risks you take are unimaginable. ”
Qin Zhan didn't agree immediately, but replied with a look of embarrassment.
"Then I don't know how the son is willing to believe in the concubine?"
Mrs. Red Mansion said straight to the point again.
"Madame is serious, the two brothers below can make a difference in Ruyifang, thanks to the Ping shopkeeper and the Sihai Shengping Pavilion. Since it is difficult to promote peace in the four seas now, there is no reason not to help Xia Yan. It's just that the amount of spirit stones or spirit stone ores is too huge, and there is no guarantee that it will meet Madame's requirements. Everything still needs to be given by Mrs. in the next day or two, and then Mrs. can give a positive answer. ”
In order not to let Lady of the Red Chamber and Liu Ping suspect that they actually possessed spirit stone ore worth tens of millions of spirit stones, Qin Zhan still deliberately delayed.
"Okay, then the concubine will give the son two days, I hope the son can give the concubine a positive answer in two days. ”
After a short period of contemplation, the Lady of the Red Chamber could only agree.
Then, after the matter was agreed, Qin Zhan didn't stay long. After another brief courtesy, Qin Zhan left the Sihai Shengping Pavilion and returned to his courtyard residence again.
And just after Qin Zhan left, the Lady of the Red Chamber discussed it with Liu Ping again.
"Uncle Ping, do you think this person can really come up with a spirit stone ore worth 500,000 spirit stones?"
I only heard Mrs. Hongwang suddenly ask Liu Ping again.
"This ...... , old man, I don't dare to assure the young lady. It's just that when I first saw him, he always had an unpredictable feeling. For the sake of today's plan, the old man felt that the young lady could only rely on this to give it a try. After all, not anyone can get these 500,000 spirit stones. ”
Liu Ping sighed helplessly.
"Alas, this time is also our fate to suffer this catastrophe, I can't imagine that someone would dare to hijack the things of the Four Seas Shengping Pavilion. If we really can't make up for the 500,000 spirit stones that have been hijacked this time, then we can only report it to the meeting truthfully. I hope that there will be leniency so that we will not lose our lives in this matter. ”
After hearing a few words, the lady of the Red Mansion on the side couldn't help but make the worst plan.
"Miss, don't be so frustrated. Old man, I have known this Qin Xiaoyou for a long time, although this son has always made people feel mysterious, but I never feel like I am not sure of anything. Now that he has made a promise, he must be somewhat sure. The crisis is the turning point, and perhaps the turning point for us at this moment is in this person. ”
Liu Ping saw that Mrs. Honglou also showed a rare sense of frustration, and couldn't help but comfort him at the moment.
"I hope so. I had already instructed Shi San yesterday to let him secretly follow this surnamed Qin in the future, and report to him as soon as he moved. ”
The Lady of the Red Chamber suddenly looked right.
"Madame, you don't think about it?"
Hearing what Mrs. Red Mansion said, Liu Ping couldn't help but be stunned.
"Well, even if you can make up the spirit stone this time, you still have to slowly tear down the east wall and make up the west wall in the future before you can fill this hole. Rather than this, it is better to solve it once without worries. ”
In the end, I only heard Mrs. Hongwang say coldly.
In this regard, Liu Ping felt that it was inappropriate. But when he was about to speak out to persuade him, after seeing Mrs. Honglou's decisive face, he slowly swallowed his words back.
Ruyi Fang, on the street where people come and go.
After leaving the Sihai Shengping Pavilion, Qin Zhan immediately changed his mind after taking a few steps in the direction of his residence, and chose to walk aimlessly on this street.
Qin Zhan kept shuttling back and forth on this street, and the reason why he did this was because he had just stepped out of Ruyi Fang when he noticed that someone had started to follow him.
In this regard, after walking on the street for a while, Qin Zhan had already guessed that it might be the actions of Mrs. Red Mansion.
Black eats black. At that moment, Qin Zhan suddenly had this thought.
Then, after pondering for a while, Qin Zhan suddenly stopped walking through the streets. Qin Zhan suddenly turned around and ran outside the Ruyi Workshop.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Zhan walked to a wilderness outside Ruyi Fang at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people. And at this point, Qin Zhan finally stopped again.
At this time, Qin Zhan could still clearly feel that in the shadows, the person who was following him was still clenching on him.
"Come out. ”
After stopping his steps, Qin Zhan turned around and shouted loudly in the direction of the person he was following.
After a sound, a middle-aged man with a scar on his face came out of the long grass. And as soon as he saw the middle-aged man, Qin Zhan quickly judged that the other party was a dual cultivation of imperial qi.
"Why are you following me?"
At that moment, Qin Zhan couldn't help but ask coldly.
"No comment. ”
Regarding Qin Zhan's question, the middle-aged man with a scar on his face simply replied and refused to answer.
When he heard the middle-aged man's answer, although Qin Zhan's face did not change in the slightest, he already had anger in his heart.
At this time, what made Qin Zhan angry was not only the middle-aged man's answer as if he had eaten Qin Zhan, but also the anger that the lady of the Red Chamber begged for each other with the front foot, but secretly made a bad mistake with the back foot.
After answering this question, Qin Zhan suddenly didn't say anything more, and turned to find a long branch on the ground on his own.
"Your Excellency doesn't even intend to give an explanation, it seems that you are really confident in your own ability, come on. ”
As soon as the long branch was raised, Qin Zhan immediately stopped saying politely.
At that moment, when he saw that Qin Zhan actually took the initiative to provoke, he originally thought that he was superior to Qin Zhan in the realm, and the middle-aged man who thought that Qin Zhan would be helpless even if he found out was stunned.
But at this moment, Qin Zhan never gave the middle-aged man in front of him any chance.
At that moment, he suddenly saw that the branch that Qin Zhan was holding in his hand had also burst out with an incomparably strong gray aura.
Then, only a loud "snort" was heard, and everything only happened between the lightning and flint. Just as the middle-aged man reacted and was about to draw his sword, Qin Zhanren had already arrived behind him.
In order to give the middle-aged man a great shock, Qin Zhan was a lion fighting a rabbit from the beginning, and he used the sword technique in his dreams.
At that time, in the eyes of the middle-aged man, everything was almost to the point of no return.
Then, when Qin Zhanren arrived behind the middle-aged man, he suddenly saw blood spurting out of one of the middle-aged man's arms.
"Go back and tell Mrs. Red Mansion that I have shown mercy to my subordinates today. I still plan to come to this wishful house from time to time, and everyone will make money in harmony. As for what I promised her, I will do my best. But if he sends someone to me, then I won't be polite anymore. ”
Just when the middle-aged man was immediately shocked by his momentary frustration, he only heard Qin Zhan, who was already standing behind him, suddenly said coldly.
At this time, when he heard this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but quickly turned around again because he was afraid. But when the middle-aged man turned around and looked around, Qin Zhan had already disappeared.
Two days have passed since then.
In the past two days, after Qin Zhan's words to the middle-aged man who came after him, the Sihai Shengping Pavilion never dared to disturb Qin Zhan again. During this period, except for Qin Zhan after extinguishing the prestige of the middle-aged man, Liu Ping then rushed to explain, everything was calm.
In the past two days, Qin Zhan silently moved out a batch of spirit stone mines estimated to be worth 500,000 pieces from under the courtyard residence. Then he asked Bai Sheng and Feng Beifeng to pack all the ore into boxes and carry them to the "Qin Baifeng" pharmacy.
Later, as soon as the day arrived, Qin Zhan asked Bai Sheng to inform Liu Ping to let him come to "Qin Baifeng" to trade the spirit stone mine.
When Liu Ping came to the "Qin Baifeng" pharmacy, he still had an apologetic face, and there were still Mrs. Red Mansions and a few small servants from the Four Seas Shengping Pavilion.
It's just that compared with Liu Ping's apology, Mrs. Red Mansion still has no change in her face, as if nothing has happened.
When the two sides met, Qin Zhan asked Liu Ping to weigh the number of spirit stone mines, while he went to confirm the elixir and the wood of words and spirits brought by Liu Ping.
After a while, everything fell into place.
"Qin Xiaoyou, this is the 400,000 spirit stone ticket that my young lady gave you. ”
After both sides took what they needed, Liu Ping gave another ticket to Qin Zhan.
Hearing what Liu Ping said, Qin Zhan couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Red Mansion again, and then took the ticket [according to], and replied:
"In the next time, regardless of the previous suspicions, all of them helped the four seas to ascend to the Ping Pavilion, all because the Ping shopkeeper also stayed in the past and was not thin. What I have received now is not this [ticket] document, but the trust in the flat shopkeeper. I hope that all I hope for now is that this ticket is not a piece of paper. ”
"Haha, Qin Xiaoyou, please rest assured. Although we had many misunderstandings a few days ago, this time this ticket [according to] promised that it was written by our young lady personally, and the old man I can guarantee with my life that Qin Xiaoyou's spirit stone will not be lost. ”
Hearing Qin Zhan's explanation, Liu Ping also smiled happily and reassured.
Then, a brief interlude and unexpected gains were revealed.
A few days passed. At this time, Qin Zhan had been with Bai Sheng and Feng Beifeng for the rest of the time, except for hiding all the gains he had obtained from the Four Seas Shengping Pavilion in the underground of the courtyard residence again. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Zhan taught some of what he had learned in Taishang Palace to the two of them.
After staying for a few days, Qin Zhan flew back to Taishang Palace with his sword.
And when Qin Zhan's front foot had just fallen on Hanging Moon Peak and had just returned to his residence, Li Canglan sent someone to summon him again.
In Li Canglan's Listening to the Moon Xiaozhu, Qin Zhan came here again after changing into a blue shirt. In Xiaozhu, Qin Zhan was no longer facing only Li Canglan and Zhao Qingyuan, but also more than a dozen unfamiliar faces.
As soon as he saw this scene, Qin Zhan immediately became serious. Then, after a period of introduction by Li Canglan, Qin Zhan could be regarded as knowing everyone present.
More than a dozen uncles of the Taishang Palace who have an extraordinary status in the Taishang Palace.
And when the introduction was over, Li Canglan began to cut to the chase.
"Boy, what do you think of me and your Uncle Zhao to you?"
I only heard Li Canglan ask.
"The two uncles take good care of their children and treat them well. ”
Qin Zhan replied truthfully, and he was also grateful in his heart.
"Well, then do you know that you have unknowingly become our person in the eyes of everyone in the Taishang Palace. ”
Li Canglan began to go deeper.
"Your people?"
Hearing the sharp words, Qin Zhan couldn't help but look at the dozen or so people in front of him again, and he was also stunned for a moment.
"Hmm. Wherever there are people, there will be factions. Immortal cultivators are also human beings, and they are no exception. ”
Li Canglan continued.
"Please also ask the two uncles to make it clear. ”
Regarding the meaning of Li Canglan, Qin Zhan did not intend to guess. At the moment, it was just natural to understand that the two of them called themselves here, presumably because of the factional fight.
"You and I have been together for a while, and you should know that in private, we often have a lot of complaints about the lonely time when the master is lonely. If I say that, you should understand something. ”
At this time, I heard Zhao Qingyuan interject again.
"The two uncles want to say that they are on the opposite side of the master. ”
After Zhao Qingyuan's prompting, Qin Zhan also immediately understood that the two of them wanted to stand by themselves. But at the moment, it is still the same answer.
"The child can be taught. Then if Uncle Shi wants you to be on our side, you are willing. ”
Li Canglan asked as Qin Zhan had guessed.
"The disciple is willing, but I don't know how the disciple He De can have this qualification. ”
At the moment, Qin Zhan had already prepared the answer.
"Yes. Because Wen Gulin has already prepared an opponent for you. This person is Yan Tongshu, who is rumored in the palace and values you very much. ”
Li Canglan suddenly replied.
"Have you prepared an opponent for me? The disciple didn't understand, so he asked Uncle Shi to make it clear. ”
For Li Canglan always turning around and trying to test himself, Qin Zhan couldn't cry or laugh in his heart.
"Alas, senior brother, let's talk about it. Boy, here's the thing. Back then, when Wen Gulin had not yet become the head of the sect, he and your other uncle, Ji Wurui, were ruthlessly called 'Taishang Shuangjue' by the people in the Xianmen. Back then, the two of them were the most promising candidates to become future leaders, and we were the supporters of your Uncle Ji back then. It's just that your Uncle Ji didn't want to be a teacher back then, and in the end, he left the Taishang Palace because of Wen Gulin's secret tricks. Because of this incident, there was a rather serious civil strife in our Taishang Palace, and in the end, it provoked your Taishang Master to come out to quell the civil strife. But after that, although there was only one head of our Taishang Palace, it was divided into two factions. One supports Wen Gulin, and the other opposes it. These are the past, you see. ”
At this time, Zhao Qingyuan couldn't listen to Li Canglan's roundabouts, and immediately said directly.
However, before Qin Zhan could reply. Zhao Qingyuan then threw out a bombshell rhetoric again:
"As for now, it's a battle for the next generation. Although Wen Gulin is now in charge, he will retire one day. And the person who will succeed you is your generation. Originally, in this generation, the most outstanding was only Yan Tongshu. And Yan Tongshu was cultivated by Wen Gulin, so we all thought that the future Taishang Palace was still in Wen Gulin's control. But now that you're a kid, we're going to put you in the position of future leader, would you?"
