"Clan Chief Zhao..."
Before leaving, Brother Bai suddenly stopped walking, looking like he was hesitating to speak.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, is there anything else?"
Brother Bai thought about the few spiritual stones left in the storage bag, and finally said: "Clan Leader Zhao, I also know some of the secrets of the Bai family. I wonder if the clan leader is interested?"
Zhao Yongqi knew what he was thinking and immediately asked: "Does Brother Bai have any conditions?"
"The patriarch...has a sharp eye."
Brother Bai was only slightly frustrated before he immediately admitted.
"I want the clan leader to waive the rent for the place where I practice."
His sad cheeks were slightly hot. If it weren't for the fact that he was really short of money, with his character, he would never make such an exchange with an outsider. However, with his eleventh level of Qi cultivation, the rent he paid to the Zhao family every year was nearly 300 spirit coins. stone.
This is not a small amount for casual cultivators.
He earned a living by drawing some basic talismans and earning some spiritual stones; unlike other casual cultivators, he also had to support the Qianbai clan members, plus the needs of his own cultivation, he was already stretched thin, nearly three years old. To him, Bai's spirit stone was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Zhao Yongqi could also simply analyze the current situation of Brother Bai.
He was noncommittal: "Fellow Daoist Bai, let me tell you first. If it is really a secret, it is not impossible to waive the rent."
"Hey... that's fine."
Brother Bai had no other choice.
After a little organizing, he spoke: "Clan Leader Zhao may have heard that the Bai family has been developing rapidly in Weishan before, and was almost promoted to a ninth-grade family again."
"Outsiders all say that the Bai family has good luck, but this is not the case."
He looked towards the back mountain: "The fundamental reason is that the Bai family found an 'eight-grade spiritual plant Yululing peach tree' in the back mountain. The Yulu peach tree blooms and bears fruit every three years, and each time it bears about five to ten jade spirits." Peach, its effect is two to three times stronger than the Realm Breaking Pill, and it has no side effects, and is even helpful for foundation building. It is precisely because of the Jade Dew Spirit Peach Tree that the Bai family can break through a large number of monks in a short period of time."
Lingzhi.
Zhao Yongqi still knows roughly.
Spiritual plants are different from ordinary elixirs. They are special existences in the world of immortality. The effects of spiritual plants are all kinds of strange. Some can be used to refine magic weapons, some can be taken as elixirs, and there are even legends about spiritual plants that can create spiritual roots out of thin air.
The stock of spiritual plants is extremely rare, and they are all valuable and unmarketable things. Even if you spend millions of spiritual stones, you may not be able to purchase spiritual plants.
A high-grade spiritual plant is born.
It can even cause a large-scale bloody storm. This is a treasure that allows the clan to ignore the ninth-grade clan system.
Spiritual plants are very precious.
But Zhao Yongqi was in a very calm mood: "Brother Bai, where is the Jade Dew Spirit Peach Tree you mentioned?"
He understands.
If Brother Bai really knew about the existence of the seventh-grade spiritual plant, he could use this spiritual plant to ask for protection from large clans such as the Thousand Layers Alliance, and it would not be impossible to even help him break through the foundation building stage.
There is no need to tell this small clan of the Zhao family.
He proposed the eighth-grade spiritual plant Jade Dew Peach Tree in front of Zhao Yongqi, and he only asked for a rent reduction or exemption, which meant that the white monk probably only knew the news. The seventh-grade spiritual plant could not still be in Weishan.
really.
Seeing Zhao Yongqi's indifferent expression and not being moved by the eighth-grade spiritual plant at all, cultivator Bai was greatly surprised.
He showed a trace of hatred: "Five years ago, a tree demon came from nowhere and took the Jade Dew Spirit Peach Tree away."
Zhao Yongqi nodded lightly: "This is barely a secret, but it is already outdated news." He changed the topic: "Well, if Fellow Daoist Bai can agree to my request, not only can the rent be waived, but the Zhao family can even Yue gives the spiritual stone to fellow Taoist Bai."
Zhao Yongqi smiled half-heartedly, looking at Brother Bai's face, waiting for his answer.
"this......"
Brother Bai's heart skipped a beat, and he had an unpleasant feeling.
He has lived for sixty years, so he naturally knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
Rao is so.
Brother Bai struggled in his mind for a moment, and then asked: "I wonder what the request is?"
"It's very simple."
Zhao Yongqi had already expected it and said slowly: "Fellow Daoist Bai only needs to help me observe the casual cultivators in Dongwei Mountain. If they have any unusual behavior, just tell me in advance."
It started from the moment when the white monk wanted to reduce the rent of spiritual stones.
Zhao Yongqi had this idea.
Monks and mortals are actually similar in some aspects. As long as you have desire, you can take advantage of it; after breaking through the lower limit for the first time, there will be countless times in the future.
Brother Bai's comment is: He is dedicated to cultivation and is an ascetic monk.
Such people offer rent relief.
Having already exceeded his bottom line, Zhao Yongqi would not miss this opportunity to plant a secret among the casual cultivators.
"well......"
After hearing what Zhao Yongqi said, Brother Bai sighed, frowned tightly, and closed his eyes.
silence......
Zhao Yongqi didn't rush him.
A long while.
The white monk opened his eyes, and his whole temperament seemed to be much older instantly: "I agree."
He was concise and concise, but in the end he still exceeded his own bottom line.
"Fellow Daoist Bai will know in the future how wise the decision made today was." Zhao Yongqi smiled.
He tapped the storage bag.
From it flew a silk scroll and a wolf-hair jade pen; then Zhao Yongqi began to write furiously on the silk scroll, to the effect that: Xuantian is above, in the year 533 of the Taiyi calendar, the Zhao family hired Bai Zhengyi as a guest minister, with a monthly salary of thirty spiritual stones. , five ninth-grade elixirs, and we will work together in the same boat from now on, without betrayal.
Immediately afterwards.
Zhao Yongqi flipped his wrist, and the clan seal appeared on his hand. He put the seal on the silk scroll, and the four words "Made to Xuantian, Weishan Zhao Family" immediately appeared on the silk scroll.
Covered with the seal.
A flash of light flashed across the silk scroll, and its color changed to slightly silver, as if the overall material had changed slightly.
"Lao Bai, sign this letter of engagement, and you will become one of the Zhao family from now on."
Zhao Yongqi placed the wolf-hair jade pen on the silk scroll, stretched out his hand gently and pushed it, and the scroll slowly flew towards Bai Zhengyi.
This is just the most basic use of mana.
It's not some clever magic.
at this point.
Bai Zhengyi did not hesitate any longer, picked up the langhao jade pen and signed his name.
at the same time.
As he signed his name, an inexplicable aura was absorbed from his body into the seal on the scroll. This kind of aura has no other use. It is just to confirm the identity of the person signing. Even if someone signs a false name, as long as the aura on his body matches, the aura will be used as the criterion.
This is also a guarantee to ensure that Bai Zhengyi will not eat empty wages.
If he dares not to do things for the Zhao family, then Zhao Yongqi only needs to take out the scroll, and Bai Zhengyi will be immediately ruined.
certainly.
The effect of this restriction varies from person to person. If you don't care about reputation, it will be useless no matter what.
Zhao Yongqi made a rubbing of the silk scroll.
The copy was given to Bai Zhengyi, but the original was put away by himself.
Afterwards, Zhao Yongqi took out thirty spirit stones and said: "Old Bai, from now on we are all in the same boat. If you have any difficulties in the future, please feel free to mention them and the Zhao family will do their best to help."
Before, I was Taoist Bai, and now I am Mr. Bai.
hehe......
Bai Zhengyi smiled in agreement. He didn't take Zhao Yongqi's words to heart at all. Anyone who believed them was a fool.
...
On the way back.
The more Bai Zhengyi thought about it, the more frightened he became.
The young patriarch of the Zhao family is by no means a creature in the pool. During his exchange with Zhao Yongqi, he was led by the nose almost the entire time.
At such an age, one has such scheming intentions.
If in another few decades, this young patriarch still exists, I am afraid that the Zhao family may really develop.
