Book of Heaven and Earth, the contract is done!

Xiling Xianpin Bureau, this huge and solemn palace, finally began to get busy.

The attendants performed cleaning techniques on the white jade pillars of the hall and the white marble underneath one by one to ensure that the entire hall looked spotless. With the tall stone chair of the director as the center, slightly smaller stone seats were placed in two rows on the left and right below. The backrests and armrests of the stone seats were engraved with smoke emblems.

When the cleaning preparations were almost done, the white jade pillars in the hall were turned on, and white smoke began to emerge from the stone pillars, bringing a cool breeze to the hall. The white stone pillars that Qin Ruqing complained about as "air conditioning" were not made of ice cubes, but a special temperature-controlling spiritual device - mainly because Xiling did not have so much ice.

When the hall was already cool and refreshing like autumn - autumn in the outer domains is also hot in Xiling - the representatives of the noble families who were preparing to participate in this conference also appeared one after another. They

were basically a combination of a clan leader and an elder. Two people from a family had to give face to the Immortal Product Bureau. They also heard that the new director

had a big background, commonly known as "someone from the top". Several families had actually secretly written several letters of complaint to the director. There were always noble families who were dissatisfied with the reforms of the director, but there was no movement at all after the complaints were made, which showed that they were suppressed by the top.

Director Xiling has been struggling so much in Xiling, but the higher-ups have no reaction. Either , it is because the director has such a big background that even the higher-ups dare not object, or, it is because the director's own behavior is instructed by the higher-ups.

No matter which one, they cannot afford to offend this new director.

When the head of the Yang family and their black-faced elder came over, they were stuck in the middle, neither too early nor too late. The two sat down in their seats, and some patriarchs of aristocratic families were already sitting in other seats.

In normal times, the Yang family is basically treated coldly, but today is a little different. As soon as they sat down, before their butts could warm up the seats, two groups of people came up to talk to them.

The content of the conversation mainly focused on the following directions:

- Hey, your family has been making a lot of noise recently! The Vitality Pill and the Accelerator are both good.

——Are you willing to cooperate? We have always been on good terms with your family, right? We didn't throw rotten eggs at you just because your family is down and out, so, would you like to share a portion of the accelerator with us?

——Also, he asked in a roundabout way where the Vitality Pill and the Accelerator came from. Since they can cooperate with the Yang family, they can definitely cooperate with our family. The Yang family has fallen into such a state, the families that cooperate with the Yang family must have never seen a good situation.

The Yang family's response strategy is that the clan leader plays the good cop and the great elder plays the bad cop (no need to play). The clan leader is responsible for "OK, OK, um, um", and the great elder is responsible for silence, at most saying "I don't know".

After the two groups of people were coaxed away, they finally sat down on the chairs firmly. Two people strode into the hall, the clan leader of the Tang family and the second master of the Tang family, Tang Biao.

The hall was quiet for a while, and then they began to greet the two people of the Tang family. As the only silver-grade family in Xiling, they are also in charge of refining instruments, so face should be given.

When Tang Biao sat down in a very front position, he was still thinking about the unknown mysterious family.

How could they live in the fifth wine house, and they were obviously protected? Could it be that as the Yang family said, they were related to the immortal family? But how is this possible! With the status of an immortal family, how could they cooperate with a declining and useless family?

Yes! It is declining and useless! Tang Biao looked down on the Yang family, a former silver family. Since they were stepped on by the Tang family, they had to keep a low profile and not think about showing off. The recent Yang family's hustle and bustle in Xiling City was also a provocation to the Tang family in his eyes.

While he was thinking, there was a long and melodious sound of bells, which was also called "immortal sound" and was emitted when the family meeting started. The immortal bell rang, and the people representing the Immortal Product Office had arrived. So they stood up one after another.

When the third fairy bell was about to end, their good director finally arrived. He was wearing a royal blue robe with wide sleeves. He was walking in the wind, and he looked cool.

The director was followed by the recorder who was in charge of the files. This person had a more normal style and looked much older than the director.

After that, the noble families thought that there would be one or two deacons coming up, but it turned out that they were not. The recorder was followed by a tall and pretty girl.

Because the occasion was solemn today, the girl did not wear the "traditional clothing" of Xiling women that showed off their beautiful legs, but wore a golden silk Liuxian skirt. It did not look like the Xiling style, but with the exquisiteness and magnificence of the foreign land. The little girl didn't have her hair in a bun, only a high ponytail hanging from the back of her head, which fell from the top of her head and dragged to her waist. The ends of her hair swayed slightly as she walked. Looking at her face, she was as beautiful as the bright moon.

Could this be the new steward? No, no, stewards must wear the robes of the Xianpin Bureau at the conference, so who on earth is this person who can come in with the director? Thinking of the confusing sentence at the end of the previous order, "the official cooperative family of the Xianpin Bureau", everyone's thoughts were different for a moment.

Only the two people from the Yang family, the eldest brother of the Yang family and the black-faced elder looked at each other and could see the shock in each other's eyes. Isn't this Miss Qin? How did she come in with the director? Could it be that the official cooperation family mentioned in the previous order is...

As soon as the Fifth Feather sat down at the top, he subconsciously wanted to lie down. The recorder gave him a warning look. He coughed slightly and sat up straight. Seeing that the little girl was also led by the attendant to sit in the seat arranged in advance, the seat was forward and the little girl sat steadily. He retracted his gaze and said, "Start."

After starting, he did not speak, but supported his elbow with one hand and let the recorder speak.

After a few brief words of courtesy, the recorder went straight to the point.

"The monks of Xiling have been troubled by the fire poison for many years. If we want to change the current situation of Xiling's isolation and weakness, we must first break through the barrier of Broken Veins Mountain that blocks Xiling from the outside world, and secondly, we must solve the fire poison of the monks of Xiling. To this end, the director has worked hard day and night, and finally found a way to control the fire poison."

Qin Ruqing was sitting at the bottom. When he heard the eight words "worked hard day and night", he moved his butt and couldn't help looking at the director at the top. This guy, on the other hand, not only did not see any strange look, but after yawning, he even nodded in agreement.

Ha, it seems that this guy is as shameless as me.

The focus of the others below was obviously on the method to control the fire poison, and the discussion could not be suppressed. The director actually found a way to control the fire poison? No wonder it was said before that it was a major event related to the development of Xiling. If it is really related to the fire poison, it is indeed very important and worth convening a meeting of the noble families.

Someone asked, "What method can control the fire poison? I hope the recorder can explain it."

The recorder said, "Pills, pills that can control the fire poison." He waved his hand and the stewards of the Immortal Product Bureau finally appeared. On this occasion, they could only distribute pills to the heads of these noble families.

No more, no less, one pill for each family.

The heads and elders of each family took the pill in their hands, and their faces showed solemn and suspicious looks. They looked at it, pinched it, and sniffed it. However, the skills of alchemy had never been promoted in the land of Xiling, so no one could tell what it was. Those who were brave enough had already swallowed the pill directly.

Anyway, it was issued by the Immortal Product Bureau, so it would not kill people.

The recorder watched their actions quietly, and after taking in their surprised or delighted looks, he slowly explained the effects of this pill.

"This pill needs to be taken in a closed room with little fire poison, preferably a closed space that is completely isolated from fire poison, so that the effect can be best. After taking it for three consecutive days, the fire poison in the body can be eliminated by 70%. If you want to eliminate the fire poison in the body, you need to cooperate with external forces to eliminate it, and you need to take it continuously for a long time."

As if to verify the words of the recorder, the person who took the pill directly at the beginning has also felt the effect. He exclaimed: "The fire poison in my body seems to have really decreased!"

Seeing this, everyone looked at the calm recorder and the director, and began to take the pill one after another.

Qin Ruqing also followed the crowd and took one. She had been in Xiling for some time. The fire poison of Xiling monks was not innate, but caused by the external environment. Therefore, although she was not poisoned by the fire, she still had a stagnant air in her body. Taking this pill just eliminated it.

The effect of the detoxification pill was there. After everyone took it, there was no need to explain anything more.

Everyone was excited. After the joy, they all looked at the director with some enthusiasm. The family meeting held today must not be as simple as simply announcing the existence of the detoxification pill. Most of the Xiling monks have fire poison, which shows how great the demand for detoxification pills is. In order to alleviate the situation of the entire Xiling, the cooperation of the families below is necessary.

Thinking of the previous official cooperative families, could it be that the core purpose of this family meeting is to recruit cooperative families responsible for detoxification pills?

Thinking of this, the clan leaders were no longer sleepy, and their eyes were looking up.

The Fifth Feather looked at their expressions, raised the corners of his mouth, and sneered in his heart. It's a nice thought, but this time, I will disappoint you after all.

The recorder immediately talked about the follow-up operations of the detoxification pill.

After hearing this, the clan leaders frowned immediately. The detoxification pill was actually sold in the Fifth Danfang. All Xiling monks who need it can go to the Fifth Danfang to buy it. The price is quite conscience. It can be seen with the naked eye that the Immortal Product Bureau has little profit.

This is really a livelihood project.

However, the clan leaders were confused. It was understandable that they did not allow us to operate. After all, it was related to the matter of removing the fire poison, which involved the bodies of so many Xiling monks. It was not reassuring to distribute it to any Xiling family. It would be better for the neutral Xianpin Bureau to take charge of the matter, so as to dispel the concerns of the people.

But, what about the cooperative family you mentioned earlier?

Soon the director gave everyone an answer. The reason why he was the director was because the matters about the cooperative family were announced by the director himself.

The director said: In order to change the plight of Xiling, our Xianpin Bureau has issued many reform measures. Among them, the matter of opening up the Broken Vein Mountain can be completed by recruiting local Xiling families, but improving the fire poison is not possible. Generally, this kind of poison requires elixir to remove it, and there are almost no elixir cultivators in Xiling.

So he thought about it day and night, and turned to the foreign family for help, and then he knew the famous elixir family Nanling Qin. After the official commission from the Xianpin Bureau, Nanling Qin lived up to expectations and refined the vitality pill and detoxification pill that could change the Xiling monks. By the way, the cultivation accelerator was also refined by the guest elder of the Qin family.

In order to thank the Qin family for their contribution to the Xiling monks, the Xiling Xianpin Bureau specially invited Nanling Qin to become the official cooperative family of Xiling, with a cooperation period of ten years. Official cooperative families have tax benefits and industrial support from the Xianpin Bureau.

The director was talking from ancient times, and the subordinates listened in confusion.

What does it mean, "Xiling Xianpin Bureau specially invites Nanling Qin's family to become Xiling's official cooperative family?"

If they understand correctly, it means that our Xiling Xianpin Bureau specially hired Nanling's family to solve Xiling's predicament, and then to reward this Nanling family, let it become Xiling's official cooperative family, and then give it many benefits? ?

This relationship is complicated, but looking at the attitude of the director and the recorder, it seems to have become a fact that has been nailed on the board.

After thinking it through, some people were dissatisfied and angry!

Tang Biao couldn't help asking, he was not that kind of questioning, after all, his external personality was a taciturn genius weapon refiner, so he asked very sincerely and confusedly, as if he was speaking for the vast majority of Xiling families.

He said, "Director, how can a family from outside the domain become an official cooperative family of Xiling? There has never been such a precedent before!"

The Fifth Feather glanced at him with a smile, "If there is no precedent, of course we can create one. Didn't anyone in Xiling order to break through the fortress and change the status quo before? Didn't I set this precedent? You ask this, are you saying that my example is wrong?"

Tang Biao began to sweat on his forehead: "Director, I have no such intention!"

"In addition, if you want to change the fire poison of the monks in Xiling, you need a remedy for the disease. If there is a family in Xiling that can refine such a remedy, I naturally don't need to seek help from outside. But do you have it? Who can refine it?" The Fifth Feather's sharp eyes began to scan downwards.

Everyone was silent.

Xiling is a hot place, but it is all desert and Gobi, where even immortal herbs don't grow, so how can we find the conditions to refine pills?

After hearing what the director said, they understood that if Xiling wanted to change the status quo, it was not accidental, but inevitable to seek cooperation from foreign families. Now the Qin family of Nanling is just very good and was the first to refine the right pill, so it is normal for the Immortal Product Bureau to cooperate with them.

They can't object, and it's not their turn to object.

Seeing the silence below, Tang Biao sat down again in dismay. The Fifth Feather resumed his lazy posture and raised his hand to signal the recorder. The recorder looked at Qin Ruqing and said, "Now please invite the representative elder of the Nanling Qin family to formally sign the cooperation agreement with the Xiling Xianpin Bureau."

At this time, everyone saw that the stunning woman in red who followed their director in at the beginning stood up slowly.

It turned out that she was a member of the Qin family, the representative elder of the Qin family? Such a young elder? ! !

But she really was.

Seeing this little girl who looked like a spirit bird walk up to the stage in a solemn manner, in front of the elders of all the families, she took out two identity cards.

One was the identity card representing the ancestor of the Qin family, and the other was the Qin family elder card representing herself. Because they were so far away, no one really touched them, so they couldn't notice that she, an elder, was not present, and there was no seat number written on the back of her card.

With the two identity cards in hand, it was as if the Qin family's ancestors and elders were present in person, able to fully represent the Qin family.

Witnessed by everyone, Qin Ruqing signed the contract on the Book of Heaven and Earth to officially cooperate with the Nanling Qin family and Xiling. With a flash of golden light, the contract was signed. This matter was set in stone and there was no room for change. It

was also the first time that Qin Ruqing knew that the scroll in the hands of the recorders was the Book of Heaven and Earth. The things written in the Book of Heaven and Earth can generate a certain kind of order and law, and are borne by the way of heaven.

It sounds awesome. Qin Ruqing intuitively felt that the Book of Heaven and Earth was a big treasure, but she didn't know whether this thing was handed down from above or had to be forged by herself. Of course she had to pay attention to this kind of thing. After all, the goal of their Qin family was, ahem...

Qin Ruqing calmly and proudly returned to her position. In this situation, she didn't need to do too much, just follow the process. The recorder has handed her the document with the seal of Xiling Xianpin Bureau, saying that the news will soon be spread to Nanling Xianpin Bureau and Qin family. I think the Qin family should be very happy (shocked).

Compared with Qin Ruqing's ease and calmness, the Xiling families have much more complicated thoughts. They actually let a foreign family go ahead of all of them and become the official cooperative family of Xianpin Bureau. You know, they are still struggling for the bidding project to open Broken Vein Mountain. Once

the contract is signed, the Qin family will be the guests of the entire Xiling, and no one can do what they say.

Therefore, they have to curse this outsider who picked peaches in their hearts. Hateful! Disgusting!

After the scolding, the slick clan leaders began to think about how to give gifts to the young elder of the Qin family. Giving gifts will make her have more money. It doesn't mean that she can't cooperate with them after cooperating with the Immortal Product Bureau! Well

, give her some local specialties of Xiling, some basic spiritual stones, and some natural treasures. Oh, the elder looks very young and handsome, so give her a few strong and handsome young men. I guess she will like them. After all, the female cultivators of Xiling like this. If

you want to say who knows the inside story best, it is probably the Yang family. At this time, the shock in the heart of the Yang family elder is needless to say, but what he is thinking about is what Yang Wenxu said.

"Who knows, that young lady might be telling the truth. She is so young and can be an elder. What's wrong with saying that her family is related to the Xianpin family? You, the elder, are in charge of the auction house, but your vision is too narrow. What rare things can be auctioned at the Xiling Auction House? You need to open your mind! There are many strange and rare things outside! I really think that the Qin family must be related to the Xianpin Bureau. Maybe it is a family that was supported by the Xianpin Bureau!"

Looking at this scene now, doesn't it just confirm what Yang Wenxu said? It is hard to say whether the Qin family had any relationship with the Xianpin Bureau before, but now there is a contract in the Book of Heaven and Earth, and they really have a legitimate relationship in the open.

But this is just the Xiling Xianpin Bureau! What about the Xianpin Bureau on the other side of Nanling, their hometown?

The black-faced elder of the Yang family thought about it carefully and felt that maybe he really had a narrow mindset because of managing the auction house and could not see the rapid development outside.

The Yang family auction house was about to go bankrupt, so why should he manage it? He would hand it over to Xiao Wenxu in the future, and he would manage the caravan himself. Ugh!

Just when the recorder finally announced the end of the family meeting and everyone could leave, Qin Ruqing suddenly heard a ding in her mind.

This ding was too familiar. Every time the mission was advanced or there was some major progress, the system liked to give her a ding like this. But because she later liked to settle the rewards together, the system began to be lazy and not give her a ding.

So, after such a long time, Qin Ruqing was still a little uncomfortable when she heard such a ding sound. She didn't react to which task had progressed this time, and it was worth it for this lazy system to notify her.

Wait... Qin Ruqing suddenly widened her eyes.

Her last chance to draw a lottery, the system promised that as long as she could reach a cooperation with the Silver Product Family or other Xiling families, she could get it. Although this time, she didn't have time to cooperate with the Tang family, but she directly cooperated with the official big brother of Xiling, the Xianpin Bureau!

And the cooperation was directly written in the Book of Heaven and Earth! Isn't this much more awesome than cooperating with the Tang family!

So, this ding, could it be the last chance to draw a lottery to reward her? !

Then her ten consecutive...
