Immortal weapon refiner

Chapter 391 Invitation

After returning to the Shuiyue Merchant Guild, Li Qing was about to tell Shen Ningbing that he planned to rent a spiritual vein cave outside the city for practice.

Li Qing will not express any opinions whether she goes with him or stays at Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce.

Of course, it would be great if Shen Ningbing was willing to rent the cave together. With two foundation-building monks together, they would always have someone to take care of them, and their ability to withstand risks would also increase a lot.

A gentleman is careful to be alone, and this is especially true for casual cultivators.

After all, he and Shen Ningbing knew everything and were trustworthy people. With the strong combat power of the other party's ice spirit root, with the two of them working together, they would not be able to deal with even the monks who were in the fake elixir stage.

As soon as he thought of this, Li Qing prepared to go to the courtyard where he lived, but unexpectedly he ran into Old Man Mo!

The stooped old man Mo had a gentle smile on his face: "Fellow Taoist, have you just come back from going out? It just so happens that I have something I want to talk to you about."

Seeing Old Man Mo's amiable expression, Li Qing couldn't feel any intimacy in his heart, but instead became more vigilant.

Of course, being vigilant, Li Qing remained calm on the surface and smiled softly: "Haha, I wonder what I want to talk to us about? Daoyou Shen and I have always wanted to find an opportunity to repay the kindness of staying overnight and guiding the way. .”

The two of them laughed and chatted before arriving at the courtyard where Li Qing and Shen Ningbing lived. As soon as they walked in, they saw Shen Ningbing meditating on the roof.

Sensing the approach of Li Qing and Old Man Mo, Shen Ningbing immediately stopped refining his energy and slowly opened his beautiful eyes with a cold look.

Old Man Mo praised him highly and said, "Young Daoist Shen is so diligent. No wonder he has reached the seventh level of the Qi Refining Stage at such a young age. This really puts me to shame, old man."

"With such talent, there is a high chance that Fellow Daoist Shen will succeed in building a foundation in the future!"

Listening to Old Man Mo's admiration, Li Qing couldn't help but tease: "Yeah, I can't see that in ten years, Fellow Daoist Shen will be able to successfully build the foundation. Then he will have to call himself Senior Shen."

Shen Ningbing gave Li Qing an angry look, with a cold and charming look in it.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Li, your blessings are not small, but you still have to work harder, otherwise you may not have a chance in the future!" Old Man Mo pointed to Li Qing with an experienced attitude.

Overtly and covertly, his intention was to let Li Qing quickly cook rice with Shen Ningbing, otherwise Shen Ningbing might not like Li Qing anymore when her cultivation level becomes higher in the future.

As soon as these words came out, the expression that was still teasing Shen Ningbing immediately stiffened slightly.

But Shen Ningbing was confused. She didn't understand what Old Man Mo was implying, and thought that Old Man Mo was saying that Li Qing would have no chance to build the foundation if he didn't work harder.

Seeing this scene, Li Qing coughed quickly, interrupting Shen Ningbing's thinking.

"Ahem, Uncle Mo, what do you want to talk to the two of us about this time? You might as well just tell us."

After hearing Li Qing's straight-to-the-point words, Old Man Mo simply didn't bother to beat around the bush anymore and went straight to the point:
"That's it. I would like to invite two fellow Taoists to join the Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce and become worshipers of the chamber of commerce!"

After hearing this, Li Qing pretended to have a thoughtful look on his face, and then he said:

"I'm sorry, husband, I'm used to being idle and don't like a restricted life. Next, I plan to go to other places to have a good experience."

"And with my shallow cultivation, I can catch a lot of people in Xiangyang City. I don't think I will be of much use to your merchant."

Old Man Mo seemed to have expected Li Qing's rejection, but he still looked at Shen Ningbing.

Just when Shen Ningbing was about to refuse, Old Man Mo gritted his teeth and said:
"You two don't have to be so hasty to refuse, but you might as well listen to my conditions?"

"If the two fellow Taoists agree, I guarantee that I can give them the main medicine of the Foundation Building Pill in the future! And I can also recommend you to join the Ghost Sword Sect in the future!"

"In addition, our Shuiyue Merchant Guild can also provide you with a place to practice your second-level spiritual veins."

I have to say that this is definitely a very generous condition, even a bit too generous!

You must know that the total value of these things is unimaginably high for a monk in the Qi Refining Stage. It is a shocking gift. It is impossible for any monk in the Qi Refining Stage to refuse this.

For a moment, Li Qing even suspected that the other party had seen his identity as a foundation-building monk, or was using these things to test him.

But no matter what, acting still requires a complete performance.

Li Qing's eyes showed a touch of emotion, and it seemed that he was deeply moved by the price and treatment offered by Old Man Mo.

Soon, a look of struggle appeared in Li Qing's eyes: "My father-in-law, you don't get reward for your merits. If you want to get these benefits, I'm afraid it won't be that easy, right?"

Any monk in the Qi-refining stage can do it by simply saying yes to the invitation. If these benefits are thrown out, I don't know how many monks in the Qi-refining stage will have to squeeze their heads.

And Li Qing never believed that pie would fall in the world. On the surface, he seemed moved, but in his heart he was clearer than anyone else.

Old Man Mo nodded with a wry smile and said: "Of course, there is only one condition for doing all this, get rid of Alchemist Yan!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Qing immediately showed a look of shock, and then said with some stuttering:

"My father-in-law, you think too highly of the two of us. Master Yan is a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage. I'm afraid he can kill both of us with just one finger!"

"We haven't lived enough to make an enemy of a monk in the foundation building stage." As if he expected Li Qing's answer, Old Man Mo said solemnly:
"This Shuiyue Merchant Guild is the last inheritance left by my incompetent son to our grandfather and grandson, but now it has been usurped by Master Yan."

"Now most of the Chamber of Commerce's profits fall into Master Yan's hands. As long as we can get rid of him and take back the Chamber of Commerce, I guarantee that you two will be guests of my Chamber of Commerce from now on!"

"Of course, I don't want you to fight against Alchemist Yan directly. I have a adopted grandson in the Ghost Sword Sect. When the time comes, I can invite an elder from the Ghost Sword Sect to fight against Alchemy Master Yan."

"That Master Yan is very anxious. You can tell from the look on Xiaoyou Shen's expression. I would like to ask two fellow Taoists to help me make a plan. Then..."

After hearing the other party's plan, Li Qing sneered in his heart.

If he hadn't made inquiries in the restaurant before, he might have believed this statement to be true.

The Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce was originally in a situation that was about to collapse. If Master Yan hadn't stepped in to turn the tide, it would have ended up in an unknown corner. Isn't it natural for them to monopolize a large portion of the Chamber of Commerce's profits?

Of course, the root cause of everything is that these conditions are not tempting enough for Li Qing in the foundation stage.

If he and Shen Ningbing were really just casual cultivators in the Qi refining stage, they might really consider the feasibility of joining forces.

With the help of Shen Ningbing's Hue, it would be relatively easy for the elders of the Ghost Sword Sect to kill the unsuspecting Master Yan.

For some casual cultivators in the Qi refining period, for a foundation-building pill, not to mention just being lured by a beauty trap, even if they really let people give away their Taoist companions, it is estimated that many people will do such a thing.

The world of casual cultivators is so cruel and bloody.

Li Qing shook his head and said: "Sorry, Mr. Mo, I still can't agree to this matter."

"Since you have been able to invite the elders of the Ghost Sword Sect to help, you can just let the other party take action. There is no need to go through such trouble."

Old Man Mo's face looked a little bitter: "Well, to be honest, Master Yan did help the Shuiyue Chamber of Commerce a lot. If we invite outsiders to get rid of him at will, it will be bad for the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce."

"I just need this excuse to maintain the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce, otherwise the reputation will be damaged in the future."

"Well, since Li Xiaoyou refuses, then I won't force it anymore."

"But I have one more request, that is, I hope you two can keep it a secret for me."

Until now, Old Man Mo still thought that Li Qingshe refused because he had to sell Shen Ningbing's appearance.

There was some disappointment in his eyes, and he no longer had much expectations for Li Qing.

In his opinion, in the face of interests, if a monk cannot let go of a woman, his future path is destined to be short-term.

"Don't worry, I have the strictest mouth." Li Qing grinned, looking at the bright sunshine.

Afterwards, Old Man Mo walked out of the courtyard where Li Qing and Shen Ningbing lived.

Shen Ningbing never said a word from beginning to end, but the cold color in her eyes became extremely intense.

But she quickly put away the coldness in her eyes, and then laughed at herself:

"Senior Brother Li, you are right in judging people. I thought before that Old Man Mo was a simple and honest person, but I didn't expect that."

Li Qing said calmly: "It's better to leave as soon as possible. I feel like there will be trouble here next."

"I did some research before I went out. There are several spiritual peaks in the south not far outside the city. There are caves for rent, and a small market has also been opened for monks to barter."

"Next I plan to go there and rent a cave to meditate and practice. Where are you, Junior Sister Shen?"

Without any hesitation, Shen Ningbing said directly: "I'll go too!"

So far, Li Qing has shown quite sophisticated survival experience as a casual cultivator, while Shen Ningbing just lacks in this aspect.

Therefore, he naturally decided to continue to gain more experience with Li Qing, which would at least save him a lot of worry.

"Then pack it up as soon as possible and leave tonight. I don't want to wait for Old Man Mo to really invite the elders of the Ghost Sword Sect to come over and create trouble."

"I have inquired clearly. The Ghost Sword Sect has considerable influence in this area. It is a sect with an ancestor at the Nascent Soul Stage as its leader. It must not be easily provoked."

"But this is actually good news. The Ghost Sword Sect is strong, which means that the territory is relatively safe and will not be easily affected by the immortal war. It is a good place for retreat."

Li Qing spoke very fast. As he spoke, he released his consciousness and habitually checked the surrounding situation.

Soon, Li Qing was slightly startled, and then sneered:
"It seems that Old Man Mo is not going to let us leave easily. He doesn't believe that we will keep secrets for him."

I saw that Old Man Mo had planted spies in several secret corners outside the courtyard. One or two of them were the bodyguards who were doing business with Old Man Mo. These people should be Old Man Mo's confidants.

As for Shen Ningbing, she was lamenting the rich experience of Senior Brother Li a second ago, but after hearing these words, her face instantly darkened, and she was obviously aware of the abnormality outside the courtyard.
