"this……"
When Zhou Qing heard this, he pretended to ponder for a moment before showing a hint of embarrassment:
"Sister Liu, please forgive me."
"This matter is too sudden. I wonder if you can give junior brother some more time so that I can think about it carefully?"
This sentence is of course an excuse.
The actual reason is that Zhou Qing wants to wait and wait for the price before selling, and then see the conditions offered by other war groups.
Although his rationality told him that because of Liu Songren's relationship, the Rainbow Chapter was probably the first to notice him and know him best, and their starting price was probably the most appropriate.
But when buying groceries, you have to shop around. The rest of the war group hasn't arrived yet, so why rush to make a decision?
"……OK."
Liu Yuxue obviously saw his thoughts, but she still smiled and said:
"Then junior brother, let's think about it first, and Song Ren and I won't disturb you anymore."
As she spoke, she stood up and said:
"Maybe I haven't seen Songren for a long time, so I just take this opportunity to give him some guidance."
"If junior brother has made a decision, you can go to Song Ren to find me."
"good."
Zhou Qing nodded in agreement, stood up and sent Liu Yuxue and Liu Songren out.
"It's my cousin and my aunt..."
Liu Songran, who was hiding in his house, secretly saw this scene through the small hole in the window, and felt mixed emotions in his heart.
It's okay for his cousin, but Liu Yuxue is one of the highest-ranking monks in the Shanyin Liu clan, and is already an unattainable big shot for him.
Before joining the Chunyang Immortal Sect, he had only met this aunt a few times in his clan since he was a child, and he had no way of currying favor with her.
But now, such a big shot came to visit Zhou Qing. His cousin Liu Songren knew that he also lived here, but he didn't even bother to say hello to him. He only wanted to get closer to Zhou Qing.
"Zhou Qing... and I are no longer on the same level."
Liu Songran clearly realized this, his eyes couldn't help but turn a little gray, and he sat down slumped.
He thought of the ridicule and contempt he had given Zhou Qing while talking and laughing with Zhang Liang and Li Yuanhui over the past month, and he felt that he had become a clown.
the other side.
After Zhou Qing saw off Liu Yuxue and Liu Songren, he returned to his house and waited patiently.
Less than an hour.
"Junior Brother Zhou!"
A tall, thin young man in a blue shirt took the initiative to visit.
When the young man saw Zhou Qing, he revealed his identity and said that he was from the "Flowing Fire" war group, one of the seven war groups.
Zhou Qing invited him into the hall, and the young man in blue shirt got straight to the point and stated his intentions, intending to recruit Zhou Qing for his war group, and also made conditions.
But when Zhou Qing was talking to him:
"Is Junior Brother Zhou here?"
Zhou Qing and the young man in blue shirt looked at each other, and the latter curled his lips:
"The action is really fast!"
The two of them walked out of the hall together and saw a tall young man wearing a red robe and a lotus crown standing outside the courtyard door.
"It turns out to be Junior Brother Qian, and you are one step ahead of me!"
The tall young man raised his eyebrows.
"I didn't expect that Senior Brother Chen would come in person."
The young man in blue shirt also smiled and said hello.
After the two exchanged a few words, Zhou Qing invited them into the hall together.
Seeing that the competitors were one step ahead, Senior Brother Chen, who represented the "Hongchen Battle Group", did not waste any time and also expressed his intention and conditions.
The arrival of the two people one after another was obviously just the beginning.
It didn't take long for Zhou Qing's hall to be filled with people, and people from the other four major groups also arrived one after another, and soon the smaller hall was packed to the brim.
The seven war groups are all said to be big trees with deep roots, and have extensive connections in the twelve outer sects. Except for the Rainbow Chapter, which has been prepared for a long time, the remaining war groups have about the same time to receive the news and make decisions. Only then will there be a grand occasion of gathering together.
Even Hantanyuan Li Chen, who broke through two days before Zhou and Qing Dynasties, had never received such treatment. Only three war groups immediately went to recruit him - all war groups with less aristocratic backgrounds.
"Junior Brother Qian!"
"Senior Brother Chen, long time no see."
"Senior Sister Qing, I didn't expect you to come too."
The envoys of the six war groups are all senior members of each other's war groups. They have known each other for many years, and naturally they are familiar with each other.
For a time, the scene was joyful.
Everyone looks up without looking down. Although the relationship is competitive, there is occasionally a need to work together, and many of the top leaders of the war group have good personal relationships. Naturally, there will be no chaos of trying to undermine each other or rob each other.
After each gave the price of their own war group, the six war group envoys left one after another, leaving their respective contact information and waiting for Zhou Qing to make a decision.
"Um……"
After Zhou Qing read the conditions of each battle group one by one, he was silent.
As he expected, the training plan of the Rainbow Chapter was indeed the one that suited his best interests.
Other war groups either do not provide as good resources as the Rainbow Chapter, or they have greater constraints on him. All things considered, the conditions of the Rainbow Chapter are still the most suitable for him.
"Then let's go to the Rainbow Battle Group!"
Zhou Qing didn't dwell on anything and quickly determined his goal.
For him, joining that war group actually has little impact. Sooner or later, he will become an inner disciple, and he will enjoy full freedom by then.
His ultimate goal at this stage is to be promoted step by step and become one of the legendary true disciples!
"The ultimate goal is still too far away from me now."
"Set a small goal first - get in the top ten in the next Qingzhuyuan competition!"
When Zhou Qing thought of this, he stopped wasting time, got up and hurriedly left his residence, heading to the small courtyard where Liu Songren lived.
After a while.
In the small courtyard, Liu Yuxue, who was teaching Liu Songren how to practice magic, was overjoyed when she heard Zhou Qing's arrival.
Although the Rainbow Battle Group had taken the lead this time, there were too many competitors after all, and she was not very sure whether they could successfully recruit Zhou Qing into the group.
But less than two hours after she left, Zhou Qing took the initiative to visit, obviously having made a decision.
as expected:
After Zhou Qing was invited to sit down in the main hall, before Liu Yuxue could ask, he took the initiative and said:
"Senior Sister Liu, I have thought clearly - I am willing to join the Rainbow Battle Group!"
"good!"
Liu Yuxue smiled brightly and said:
"Junior Brother Zhou is indeed very discerning!"
"Don't worry, our Rainbow Chapter will not treat you badly, and you will never regret today's decision in the future!"
"Um."
Zhou Qing nodded slightly and said:
"But there are two things I would like to change about those provisions."
Liu Yuxue heard this and immediately responded:
"No problem, just say it."
"First thing's first."
Zhou Qing obviously had a suspicion, so he immediately said:
"I hope to exchange the three bottles of Pulse Opening Pill every month for the equivalent value of three hundred spirit stones."
"Oh? You can replace the Pulse Opening Pill with the Spiritual Stone, of course."
Liu Yuxue's expression moved slightly, and she nodded in agreement without even thinking.
The Rainbow Chapter provides Zhou Qing with three bottles of Pulse Opening Pill every month, mainly because he needs to take the pill once a day, so that he will not have to buy it himself.
Whether Zhou Qing wants to reduce the number of times he takes the elixir, or wants to switch to a more effective elixir, it is his own business, and it is up to him to decide. Anyway, the battle group does not have to pay anything more.
"Thank you for your understanding, Senior Sister."
Zhou Qing showed a smile and said again:
"As for the second point, it's about the superior cave on the skyscraper cliff."
"I don't want to move out of Qingzhuyuan just yet. I wonder if that cave can be replaced with something else?"
"Ah? This..."
This time, Liu Yuxue was really stunned.
Don't want to move? What's the reason?
Compared with the top-grade caves in Motian Cliff, the cultivation conditions of Qingzhuyuan are simply in the sky and on the ground.
Among the twelve outer sect courtyards, among the disciples above the middle stage of opening the pulse, whoever could afford to rent the cave for a long time would not move out immediately?
In the final analysis, everyone will pursue a better cultivation environment. Only new disciples and disciples who have recently broken through to the fourth level of opening the pulse will stay in the outer courtyard, but this is only out of helplessness, not because they don't want to move.
"Aunt, it's like this..."
Liu Songren on the side saw this and took the initiative to explain to Zhou Qing. Naturally, he used the reasons he heard from the podium in the morning.
"I see."
When Liu Yuxue saw this, she suddenly realized.
This time, she rarely hesitated for a long time before looking at Zhou Qing and said solemnly:
"Junior brother Zhou, considering your special talent, your stay in Qingzhuyuan will really help your practice."
"But the influence of the external environment cannot be ignored on the cultivation of immortality. Not only can this save a lot of spiritual stones, but it can also increase your chances of breaking through a small realm."
When she said this, she paused for a moment before continuing:
"Let's do this, Junior Brother Zhou."
"There are several cave-like magic weapons in the war group. They are the property of the entire war group and are very valuable."
"Since you voluntarily gave up the high-grade cave on the skyscraper cliff, I will discuss with the other senior leaders of the war group and allocate a cave-like magic weapon to you."
"If we can't allocate it to you, we will directly convert the two-year rent of the superior cave of 2,400 spirit stones to you."
When Zhou Qing heard this, he was immediately surprised and said:
"Thank you very much, Senior Sister."
He originally wanted to convert it into a spiritual stone, but if it could be converted into a cave-like magic weapon, it would be an unexpected surprise.
With the speed of his practice, even though practicing spells takes up a considerable amount of time, it can also speed up the advancement of professional levels. It will definitely take less than two years to break through to the seventh level of opening pulses.
When the time comes, he can return the cave-like magic weapon in advance, and he can convert the remaining time into spiritual stones, so he won't be at a loss anyway.
"Then it's settled."
After Liu Yuxue and Zhou Qing discussed some details, they finally made a decision and took out a blank legal deed from the storage bag.
He held a blank Dharma Deed in his hand, and while the magic power was flowing, he recited silently in his mouth, and lines of text suddenly appeared on the Dharma Deed.
"Junior Brother Zhou, please."
She handed the deed to Zhou Qing and signaled:
"This is a legal deed notarized by the sect's punishment hall, and it is absolutely valid!"
"As long as you sign this contract, you will become a member of our Rainbow Chapter."
"OK."
Zhou Qing took the deed and looked at it carefully.
The body of the legal deed is a jade tablet, with various treaties engraved on it. It is the same as the one after the two people discussed it, except for some additional penalty clauses.
If Zhou Qing breaches the contract, he will have to compensate Tianhong Chapter ten times for his funding and direct losses; if the Rainbow Chapter voluntarily breaches the contract or terminates the contract, Zhou Qing will have to compensate Zhou Qing one hundred thousand spiritual stones.
Since it has been notarized by the Penal Palace, the validity of the legal contract is guaranteed. If any party violates the contract, the Penal Palace will ensure its execution.
"Buzz!"
After Zhou Qing confirmed that it was correct, he took the initiative to channel a stream of magic power into the jade plate.
The jade plate trembled slightly, and a mark of mana quietly appeared in the lower left corner, which represented the formal completion of the legal deed.
"good!"
Liu Yuxue saw this and showed a smile:
"Junior Brother Zhou, welcome to join the Rainbow Battle Group!"
