“Thank you, Lord Lin!” Sima Yan was so overjoyed that he was on the verge of tears. However, at this moment, Mo Hang was somewhat anxious. How did the quota that was within his grasp suddenly disappear?
How did the Qinglian Sword Sovereign appear out of nowhere?
“Lord Lin.” Mo Hang stepped forward at this time, respectfully saluting, “I suspect something is amiss. I hope Lord Lin can investigate!”
“Amiss?” Lin Qingyi tossed a chicken bone in his hand onto a table nearby, then casually asked, “What do you mean by ‘amiss’? Let’s hear it.”
“Mo Hang, stop spouting nonsense here, trying to sow discord between us and Lord Lin.” Sima Yan glared at Mo Hang with gritted teeth. This man was already on his kill list.
Given the chance, he would definitely make Mo Hang wish he were dead.
“What? Are you feeling guilty?” After Mo Hang finished speaking, he stared intently at Li Changqing, as if trying to discern something from him. “Who is the Qinglian Sword Sovereign? Is he someone that your insignificant Zhanhe Residence can recruit at will? Is your Zhanhe Residence even worthy? If such a powerful figure truly wanted to find a place to settle, wouldn’t numerous major powers extend an olive branch? Would it be your Zhanhe Residence’s turn?”
“Lord Lin, in my opinion, this person must be an imposter. Because the Qinglian Sword Sovereign himself wears a mask, no one has ever seen his true face. Therefore, this Sima Yan has found a fake person to impersonate the Qinglian Sword Sovereign in order to deceive you. This person’s intentions are condemnable.”
“In my opinion, the Zhanhe Residence should not be given a single quota for such behavior…” Mo Hang was incessantly voicing his suspicions.
However, to Mo Hang’s surprise, before he could finish speaking, he heard the fierce sound of swords ringing. At the same time, several astonishing sword intents swept across like a wild wind.
The sword box opened wide, and seven divine weapons trembled with a hum! Shining with extreme brilliance, Li Changqing held the sword box, calmly looking at Mo Hang.
Meanwhile, Lin Qingyi was patiently gnawing on a chicken head. He glanced at the seven swords and vaguely said, “It seems there’s no need to continue talking.” A person can be impersonated.
But the Seven Swords of Qinglian couldn’t possibly be impersonated, right? The seven divine weapons were all laid out here. If anyone still claimed they were fake, that would be a blatant lie.
Seeing these seven divine weapons, Sima Yan was also greatly shocked. One, because it was his first time seeing the Seven Swords of Qinglian, and two, because he was amazed at their power.
At the same time, when Mo Hang claimed that the Qinglian Sword Sovereign was an imposter, Sima Yan was also taken aback, wondering if it could really be true.
After all, why would such a master as the Qinglian Sword Sovereign come to the Zhanhe Residence? Could it be that Li Changqing really found someone to impersonate the Qinglian Sword Sovereign to boost his own prestige?
But when the Seven Swords of Qinglian appeared, Sima Yan was completely reassured.
“Master of Xueying Palace, you say I’m fake, why don’t we have a duel to prove it, to alleviate your concerns?” Li Changqing moved his finger, and the Jinglan Sword instantly flew up, its tip pointing directly at Mo Hang. The other six swords also seemed ready to fly out and wreak havoc at any moment.
Mo Hang’s face changed drastically. He quickly stepped back and hurriedly saluted, “Qinglian Sword Sovereign, I apologize for my earlier offense. I hope the Sword Venerate will not take it to heart.”
“Are you sure you don’t want to try?” Li Changqing said indifferently, “I can fight without using the Seven Swords of Qinglian, so you can’t accuse me of bullying you.”
“Qinglian Sword Sovereign is joking. Even if you don’t use the Seven Swords of Qinglian, I’m no match for you.”
“Now that the Zhanhe Residence has the Qinglian Sword Sovereign, I won’t stay any longer. I’ll take my leave.”
“Lord Lin, I’ll take my leave first.” Knowing that there was no hope of getting the quota, Mo Hang quickly left.
“Get out.” Sima Yan shouted angrily.
“I’m leaving, I’m leaving.” At this point, Mo Hang had lost all his confidence in front of Sima Yan. With the addition of an elder to the Zhanhe Residence, and that elder being the Qinglian Sword Sovereign, would his Xueying Palace have any good days in the future?
Mo Hang fled from the Zhanhe Residence.
“Clatter.” Tossing the last chicken bone onto the table, Lin Qingyi took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, then stood up, “I’m full, I’m leaving.” With that, Lin Qingyi headed for the exit.
“Does Lord Lin like chicken?” Li Changqing saw Lin Qingyi gnawing on the chicken meat. Even a dog would cry if it saw the bones he threw away, they were so clean.
“Yes.” Lin Qingyi looked back at Li Changqing in surprise, not knowing why Li Changqing was asking this.
“Our Changqing Trading Company will be selling a different kind of chicken in the future. If Lord Lin is interested, you are always welcome to come and taste it.” Li Changqing extended an invitation to Lin Qingyi.
“Oh?” Lin Qingyi raised an eyebrow. So the Qinglian Sword Sovereign had a connection with the Changqing Trading Company? Lin Qingyi pondered for a moment, then nodded, “I’ll definitely try it when I have the chance. I’m leaving.” With that, he walked out the door.
“Safe journey, Lord Lin.” Sima Yan hurriedly went out to see Lin Qingyi off. Li Changqing, on the other hand, was thinking that while Chicken Plucking was delicious, he wondered if his future Orleans-style roast chicken would also have such good sales.
After seeing off Lin Qingyi, Sima Yan let out a huge sigh of relief. He almost collapsed to the ground, feeling as if he had just walked a tightrope between life and death.
“Thank you, Qinglian Sword Sovereign, for saving our Zhanhe Residence. We will forever remember this kindness.” Sima Yan returned and bowed respectfully to Li Changqing. If it weren’t for Li Changqing today, their Zhanhe Residence would have been doomed.
“You’re welcome. Our Changqing Trading Company promised to help you, and we will naturally do so. I just hope that Master Sima won’t forget the agreement with the Changqing Trading Company.” Li Changqing reminded him.
“Qinglian Sword Sovereign, rest assured, what Sima Yan promises, he delivers. This is the way of a gentleman.” Sima Yan stated firmly.
Are you kidding me? Would I dare to default? If it were someone else, I might have defaulted, but defaulting on you, I’m afraid you’d tear down my Zhanhe Residence.
After reading the list of disciples who were to participate this time, Li Changqing and Sima Yan left.
Li Changqing had learned quite a bit about the process of the Ghost Devil trial, and now all he needed to do was to prepare everything.
Medical King Valley. Mu Qingge received a letter from Li Changqing. Excitedly, she opened the letter. It had been a long time since Li Changqing had written to her. Mu Qingge felt that she was being too forward by always writing to him. However, after opening the letter, she saw that Li Changqing wanted to cooperate with Medical King Valley.
Mu Qingge didn’t expect that after such a long time, Li Changqing’s letter was just about cooperation. She couldn’t help but feel a little upset. It wasn’t until later when Li Changqing asked about her Ghost Resentment curse that Mu Qingge’s expression improved a bit.
“He still cares about my Ghost Resentment curse.” However, when it came to the Ghost Resentment curse, Mu Qingge sighed lightly.
The Valley Master of Medical King Valley, Mu Hensheng, had searched through ancient books and finally found an ancient prescription. It said that to lift the Ghost Resentment curse of the Ghost Spirit clan, a kind of Ghost Vine Grass was needed.
However, this Ghost Vine Grass could only be found in the Cloud Wilderness, and nowhere else. Mu Hensheng had already sent people out to look for it, and even sent people to Tianhai City to see if there was any in the city, even going as far as to search the black market.
As for the matter of cooperation, it could be a big or small matter. As an elder of the Medical King Valley, Mu Qingge could make the decision. However, when it came to the interests of the Medical King Valley, Mu Qingge chose to deal with Li Changqing in a business-like manner, only giving him some discounts on the price.
She spent an entire afternoon writing a letter. After talking about the pill, Mu Qingge also wrote some of her secrets into the letter.
Some time ago, Mu Qingge saw that child again. This made her feel a bit scared.
That child was someone she had seen when she was young, but she didn’t expect that after so many years, she would see that child again. And the child was exactly the same as when she had seen him when she was young, only that the child didn’t notice her.
This fear made Mu Qingge unable to sleep well for several days, feeling even more terrifying than the Ghost Resentment curse. But she didn’t dare to ask Mu Hensheng about it, otherwise, if Mu Hensheng knew that she had sneaked off to the Ancient Medical Cave again, she would definitely be scolded.
Mu Qingge felt that there must be a huge secret hidden in the Ancient Medical Cave of the Medical King Valley. But she couldn’t touch this secret at all now.
Writing this to Li Changqing was purely to vent. Afterwards, Mu Qingge started to complain about Li Changqing giving the Xuanyuan Sword to Yin Changli.
Now Yin Changli practices sword every day and doesn’t care about medical skills at all. Especially after hearing about the rise of a new person called Qinglian Sword Sovereign, Yin Changli became obsessed… She wrote a long passage about it.
After finishing writing, she had someone send the letter to Li Changqing. After resolving the matter of the Zhanhe Residence, Li Changqing returned to Changting Town.
Anyway, he just needed to wait until the Ghost Devil trial started. Recently, there were really a lot of things to be busy with.
It wasn’t until seven days later that Li Changqing received the things sent by the Cangyuan Escort Agency. It was a wooden box.
When Li Changqing opened it, he was instantly shocked by the contents of the box! It was a complete set of carving knives!
The carving knives were filled with a cold aura and shimmered with a silver glow, making them particularly dazzling under the sun.
This was even more attractive to Li Changqing than a divine weapon.
“Xue Qianbai is really quick.” He had thought that he would have to wait a long time. Li Changqing couldn’t wait to take out the carving knives to inspect them. He found that the size and dimensions were exactly as he had specified, there were no problems at all, and the carving knives were cool to the touch, which had a calming effect. The weight was also ideal, it could be said to be perfect.
“What a great thing.” Li Changqing was so fond of it, treating it like a beauty.
“Sir, your tea.” Zhang Fuguang came over with the tea. Seeing the excited expression on Li Changqing’s face, he curiously glanced at the carving knife in Li Changqing’s hand.
Seeing several types of knives inside, Zhang Fuguang could tell at a glance that the material of these knives was very precious.
However, he had never seen the shape of these knives before. But seeing the excited expression on Li Changqing’s face and his reluctance to let go of the knives, Zhang Fuguang was guessing what kind of weapon this was.
What kind of destructive power does this unseen weapon, which made Li Changqing so happy, have?
So short, could it be a very powerful hidden weapon?
“Fuguang, I’m going to seclude myself for a few days. Unless it’s something important, don’t disturb me. If Yan Botao comes looking for me, tell him to wait until I come out.” Li Changqing took the knives and ran towards the bamboo forest in the back, as if he was impatiently holding a stunning beauty.
“Yes, sir.” Zhang Fuguang replied. Li Changqing went into the bamboo forest and couldn’t wait to take out the branch of the Mysterious Void ancient tree he had before, and then tried to carve an Acceptance of Rings.
He promised to give one to Xue Qianbai, he couldn’t go back on his word, could he? In addition, Li Changqing also took out the Lingjin Wood that Yan Botao had brought him before. Li Changqing wanted to try and see how different the Acceptance of Rings carved from the wood of the Mysterious Void ancient tree and the ones not carved from it would be, and whether he could also carve an Acceptance of Rings with space inside.The carving knife was incredibly easy to use, much better than before. Li Changqing hadn’t enjoyed carving this much in a long time.
Li Changqing also planned to carve more Acceptance of Rings, because the resources that could be brought into the Ghost Devil trial were limited. With the Acceptance of Rings, he could carry more, which would also be convenient for advertising the Changqing Trading Company.
Furthermore, once the Changqing Trading Company grew stronger, Li Changqing planned to auction these Acceptance of Rings as products of the company.
After all, judging from Xue Qianbai’s previous reaction, this item should be very valuable. But all of this was a long way off. The Changqing Trading Company still had a long way to go. If they sold the Acceptance of Rings now, it would only bring endless trouble to the company.
After a day’s work, Li Changqing carved two Acceptance of Rings. These rings were much better looking than the one he was wearing, because the tool was very handy this time, and Li Changqing directly carved beautiful patterns on them.
At the same time, Li Changqing also compared the Acceptance of Rings made from two different materials. The one made from the Mysterious Void ancient tree had an internal space capacity of thirty cubic meters.
The last one he made was not as good, the carving was not delicate enough, and it only had twenty cubic meters.
The Acceptance of Rings made from Lingjin wood, although also delicately carved, only had a pitiful eight cubic meters of internal space.
“It seems that different materials are suitable for making different Painting Treasures. This Lingjin wood is not suitable for making Acceptance of Rings.” Li Changqing pondered, then casually threw the Acceptance of Rings made from Lingjin wood to the side.
If the Cangyuan Realm knew that Li Changqing had made an Acceptance of Rings with eight cubic meters of space and discarded it like trash, they would probably want to skin him alive!
The Acceptance of Rings circulating in the Cangyuan Realm mostly only have half a cubic meter, and the slightly larger ones are only three cubic meters.
Eight cubic meters is extremely rare in the Cangyuan Realm! But Li Changqing didn’t even care for it.
Li Changqing himself didn’t know that if he threw this thing out, it could cause a bloodbath in the entire Eastern Desolate Land.
“The beautiful maiden… the beautiful maiden is lying on the bed…” Li Changqing was still humming a tune, immersed in his carving.
In the end, Li Changqing only carved five Acceptance of Rings from the branches of the Mysterious Void ancient tree. He kept one for himself.
He prepared one for Xue Qianbai. The rest he put away for now, but he did carve twenty from the Lingjin wood.
Each one had a space of six to nine cubic meters. Li Changqing planned to use them as personal storage for the time being.
After several days of work, when Li Changqing came out, Yan Botao had been waiting for several days.
“Great Steward, you’re finally out.” Yan Botao walked up with a joyful face and said, “Medical King Valley has sent the pills we need to our Changqing Trading Company. Also, according to your request, we have made the uniforms you specified. Would you like to check them?”
“Good.” Li Changqing also wanted to see how the clothes were prepared. When Yan Botao brought out the sample clothes, Li Changqing looked at them carefully and felt them. The quality was indeed good.
Especially on the back of the clothes, there was a line of gold-embossed characters. “Exclusively sponsored by Changqing Trading Company.” It was particularly eye-catching.
In this way, when the disciples of Dao Mountain Ancient Land and Zhanhe Residence wore these clothes, they would be walking advertisements!
Who said there was no way to make the Changqing Trading Company famous?
