Negotiating with the Yang Family, Invited by the Director
Perhaps it was because Qin Ruqing's sparkling eyes were too attractive, or perhaps it was because the advantages she mentioned were too tempting. In short, Tang Zifeng still took out the spiritual weapon that he had kept for a long time from the storage ring.
Qirong and Lu Wei also came over curiously, leaning forward and leaning on the table. The spiritual weapon that Tang Zifeng took out looked square and the material was a transparent jade marrow, which was red in color.
"What is this, a red square?" Qirong poked the spiritual weapon and asked in confusion.
"Is this jade marrow?" Lu Wei was obviously more interested in the material.
"Why is it red?" Qin Ruqing crossed her arms, focusing on the color. Because she felt that this passionate and unrestrained color obviously did not match Tang Zifeng's introverted and stuffy painting style.
Shouldn't Xiao Tang be dark blue or light purple?
Tang Zifeng didn't quite understand the Qin family's train of thought. Why did they pay so much attention to shape and color? Shouldn't they care more about function?
He picked up the jade red cube, and his slender hands fiddled with it somewhere, and the red cube actually automatically decomposed into four small cubes. There is a hemispherical groove on the top of each small cube.
Hmm... Qin Ruqing saw the groove and suddenly remembered the two spiritual tools that Tang Zifeng had refined when he sought cooperation with the Qin family before, the feeding bracelet and the advanced version of the feeding bracelet. At that time, the weird and novel way of using the spiritual tool and its straightforward name were remembered by Qin Ruqing for a long time.
Now, looking at this hemispherical groove, the size and shape are just right to put a pill in, Qin Ruqing suddenly had a bad association, and asked: "Tang Zifeng, what is the name of your spiritual weapon?"
It's a ball, but don't call it Feeding XX
Tang Zifeng raised his eyes, looked at Qin Ruqing for three seconds, and replied: "It's called Feeding Cube."
Qin Ruqing: "..."
Qi Rong: "..."
Lu Wei: "..."
Roar, if it's in the shape of a bracelet, it's a feeding bracelet, and if it's in the shape of a cube, it's a feeding cube, right?
Qin Ruqing: "Is it possible to assist or strengthen the effect of the pill if you put some kind of pill in it?"
Tang Zifeng: "Yeah." Oh
my God.
Qin Ruqing was silent for a long time, and suddenly he put his hand on Tang Zifeng's shoulder and said very seriously: "Xiao Tang, let me tell you, if you want to become a respected master of weapons, learning to package the spiritual weapon you invented is the first step. Giving a unique and memorable name will help you fool people... No, it's to spread your fame! You must know that being bad at naming is a disease and must be cured!"
Tang Zifeng seemed to be stunned by such a thought-provoking speech. He was silent for a long time, and said: "Then what should I name it?"
Qin Ruqing sat down again, took the feeding cube in his hand, opened it and closed it, and fiddled with it for a long time, and he inexplicably felt a kind of happiness like playing with a Rubik's Cube.
Not to mention, this cube feels pretty good... cough, "What's the main function of this feeding block? What functions does it have?"
Tang Zifeng's lips moved. Qin Ruqing looked at his open mouth and suddenly raised his eyebrows. "Wait, don't tell me that I stuffed Vitality Pills inside?"
Tang Zifeng: "Yeah."
Qin Ruqing: "?"
"It is indeed stuffed with Vitality Pills. Put Vitality Pills in the four disassembled cubes and place them at the four corners of the body when meditating to form a special barrier. Inside the barrier, it can assist in cultivation, help to concentrate and calm the mind, and speed up the cultivation speed, which is equivalent to the effect of a small secret realm." After
three seconds of silence, Qin Ruqing said: "Tang Zifeng."
"Yeah?"
"Do you have any special preference for spiritual weapons that can be used with elixirs?"
Qin Ruqing chattered under Tang Zifeng's puzzled gaze, "I tell you, if you do this, I will think that you are highly cooperative with our Qin family's industry. I might not be willing to help you return to the family, and secretly make arrangements to make you homeless, so that you can only come to my Qin family and be a guest elder of my Qin family."
Tang Zifeng seemed to smile for some reason, and the smile was not very visible. The corners of his lips were just raised for about a second. He said, "I know you won't."
Qin Ruqing wiped his face away and shrugged, "Okay, it seems that you trust my conscience."
Qi Rong on the side held up his chin, "So, this spiritual weapon should still be called the Feeding Cube?"
Lu Wei asked, "Brother Tang, do you insist on using this name? We think that calling it the Feeding Cube... doesn't seem to make it clear what the function of this spiritual weapon is." Lu Wei's gentleness was fully reflected at this time.
Tang Zifeng said, "I just picked a name at random. If you have a better one, you can use it."
Qin Ruqing touched his chin and thought for three seconds, then slapped the table and said, "Call it the Cultivation Accelerator! It's concise and easy to understand. How about it?" Calling Qin Ruqing to say it simply was like poking at the Xiling cultivator's weakness.
The three of them looked at each other and said, "We think it's okay!"
-
The Yang family was very surprised to receive Qin Ruqing's request for a meeting, saying that they wanted to discuss cooperation.
Yang Wenxu, the third brother of the Yang family, was a little flattered and asked his elder, "There has been no movement for such a long time, I thought the cooperation was broken, but she actually took the initiative to come to me, this is..."
The elder was obviously also a little happy. Although he was busy with the affairs of the Immortal Product Bureau recently, it was obvious that they did not want to give up the Qin family, which could bring them huge benefits. Originally, seeing that Qin Ruqing had not moved, he was thinking about whether to mention it again and give something by the way. Now it seems that the young lady may have an idea in her mind.
The elder let out a long sigh and said, "When you go, be respectful and polite, talk nicely, and give up some benefits. We must make sure that the second cooperation is successfully concluded."
Yang Wenxu suddenly felt that he had taken on an important mission. He straightened his waist and said loudly, "Yes!"
and invited him to the teahouse. Qin Ruqing thought that the fifth teahouse he went to last time was good, so he decided to meet there. Because only the fifth family was rich and generous, they installed temperature control magic devices (thermos + air conditioning) in every private room.
When they met, they did not talk about the main topic at first, but chatted casually, "Brother Yang, why do I see so many teahouses in Xiling City?" It was so simple that there was a tea stall every five steps and a teahouse every ten steps, which reminded Qin Ruqing of a convenience store in a certain magic city.
The gentleman took out a towel and wiped the sweat from his head, "Because it's hot."
"Pfft~" This is a frank statement.
After a few words of idle chat, they never got to the point. Yang Wenxu didn't look anxious at all. This is the place where the Yang family makes people feel comfortable. It doesn't make people feel oppressed. If you want to sit, I will drink three pots of tea and sit with you until dark.
Qin Ruqing finally spoke, "This time I came to discuss the second cooperation with the Yang family." Because of his good impression of the Yang family, Qin Ruqing explained, "It was really not me who refused before, but I had something important to do."
Yang Wenxu didn't mind this. As long as they could cooperate, time was nothing. As long as they could nod before the Yang family went bankrupt, it would be fine.
Qin Ruqing took out an object, pushed it forward, and said with a smile: "This is what I want to cooperate with the Yang family for the second time."
Yang Wenxu's eyes were fixed on the jade red block in front of him, "What is this?" He took it in his hand with a big hand, fiddled with it for a while, and took it apart very smoothly. After studying it for a while, he nodded, "This should be a kit of spiritual tools, which should be disassembled for use. The workmanship and materials are very exquisite."
Qin Ruqing was really surprised. It should be said that she is worthy of being a Xiling person. She can use the spiritual tool without reading the manual. She fiddled with it for a long time and didn't understand where to disassemble it.
Qin Ruqing's slightly shiny black pupils made the elegant man's face hot. He said, "Young lady, don't be surprised. People in Xiling don't practice talismans or elixirs. They only train their bodies and refine weapons. Some geniuses practice both. But no matter what, the environment is like this. Not everyone can practice weapons, but some basic principles of refining weapons are still understood."
Qin Ruqing: I understand. For example, in a country where everyone plays football, even if they can't play, they can still understand it by watching.
Qin Ruqing smiled and pointed at the red square. "This is a training accelerator." After saying this simple sentence, he turned his head and looked at Yang Wenxu quietly. As expected, the handsome man's eyes widened, as if he was shocked and wanted to ask something but didn't dare to ask.
"Put the Vitality Pill into the groove of the cube, and the effect of the Vitality Pill can be strengthened. Before, the effect of the Vitality Pill could only last for three days, but with this one, it can last for seven days. If you ignore the cost, divide the cube into four parts, stuff a Vitality Pill in each part, and place them in the four corners of the body, you can directly form a special space. Staying in the space to practice, the effect is equivalent to a small secret realm."
Qin Ruqing narrowed his eyes, "Are you sincere in using this thing to cooperate with Brother Yang?"
Yang Wenxu took a long time to find his voice. He somehow picked up the towel he carried with him and wiped his face, then he said in a shocking voice: "Young lady's sincerity can be witnessed by heaven and earth!"
If she was really willing to use this thing to cooperate with the Yang family for a long time, the dilemma of the Yang family's decline would be solved.
"How do you want to cooperate, young lady? Auction? The Yang family will not ask for any commission in this auction. Young lady, please do not refuse any thank-you gifts from the Yang family. Otherwise, the Yang family will get a bargain of this level of spiritual weapon for nothing, which will make them feel uneasy!"
Qin Ruqing explained first: "Brother Yang, you don't have to thank me completely. My Qin family does not refine weapons. Although we have weapon refiners, their abilities are mediocre. They really cannot refine such an ingenious spiritual weapon. This was refined by the friend who accompanied me. He agreed that I could take it out and cooperate with the Yang family. If the Yang family really wants to thank someone, they should thank him."
Yang Wenxu said "oh" and quickly realized who Qin Ruqing was talking about. The Qin family's team that came to Xiling this time had a total of four people, including the young lady. The other three seemed to be direct descendants of the Qin family. Only the remaining one, who was the tallest, was always covered with a black robe, looking a little mysterious, and was called a friend by the young lady. It turned out that he was also a weapon refiner.
"It turned out that the black-robed brother was such an outstanding weapon refiner. It's true that people like the young lady's friends are all outstanding."
"I don't deserve such praise from Brother Yang." That is to say, the honest physical cultivators are so straightforward when they flatter, which makes people a little overwhelmed.
Yang Wenxu saw Qin Ruqing's expression and said gently, "Young lady, do you think I am trying to flatter you?" He pointed at the red square in his hand and said, "Young lady, you are so young and yet you have obtained the elder card. Your intelligence and talent are obvious. There is no need to exaggerate. Your friend may have borrowed the convenience of the vitality pill to refine a spiritual tool that can speed up cultivation, but that is not the case."
"The path of alchemy and the cultivation of instruments are two completely unrelated paths, but this brother in black robes can integrate them into one, making them complement each other and bring out the effect of one plus one being greater than two. This requires great effort and a deep understanding of both the path of alchemy and the path of instruments. However, both of these paths require talent and are extremely energy-consuming. If one can integrate the two, what else can he be but a dragon among men? So, I am not flattering you and your friend when I praise you and your friend, but just telling the truth."
Yeah, it really makes sense when he says that. The more Qin Ruqing listened, the more he felt that Xiao Tang's idea of refining instruments was simply born to match the alchemy cultivation of the Qin family. It's a pity that he is determined to return to the family, and he may not be able to be a guest elder of his Qin family in the future.
Qin Ruqing didn't want to talk more about this aspect, and turned back to the main topic, "Brother Yang, do you think this thing, combined with the Vitality Pill, will have a market in Xiling and make it famous?"
Yang Wenxu said firmly, "Yes!"
"The previous sky-high auction has actually spread its reputation. If the young lady is willing to lower the price of the Vitality Pill and combine it with this cultivation accelerator, I am not exaggerating, it will be no problem to take over half of the market in Xiling."
"The price of the Vitality Pill is not a problem." Qin Ruqing had never thought of selling the Vitality Pill at a high price from the beginning. The reason why the auction was able to hype up such a high price was purely because the aristocratic families in Xiling had never seen such a thing and wanted to buy samples to study. If the Vitality Pill is really sold in large quantities, the price will naturally come down.
Qin Ruqing said: "The purpose of this cooperation is to expand the market and spread our reputation, so there is no need to take the high-end route of auction. It would be better to sell the Vitality Pills and the Cultivation Accelerators together in offline shops. I forgot to ask, the Yang family's shop..."
Yang Wenxu thought that Qin Ruqing was questioning the Yang family's ability to stock goods, and he couldn't help but pat his chest. "Although my Yang family has declined, we were a wealthy family in the past. Even if many shops have changed hands, the remaining shops can still occupy several streets."
Qin Ruqing smiled: "I'm not questioning the Yang family's ability to stock goods. On the contrary, we don't have many Cultivation Accelerators prepared this time. I hope Brother Yang will take his time to sell them. Money is not important. The most important thing is to build a reputation."
Yang Wenxu nodded to show his understanding. After a brief conversation, Qin Ruqing was about to leave, but Yang Wenxu insisted on seeing her off. On the way, Yang Wenxu invited Qin Ruqing and her friends to stay at the Yang family several times, saying that it was unreasonable for such a distinguished guest to stay at an inn.
Qin Ruqing only smiled but did not nod. If it weren't for the detoxification pill, it would not be a big deal for her to stay at the Yang family. After all, the Yang family was hospitable, and they didn't feel uncomfortable getting along with each other.
The main reason was that the detoxification pill would have a huge impact in Xiling. If the news got out, it would cause a lot of trouble in those big families. Qin Ruqing had listened to her father and ancestors talking about the affairs of the aristocratic families since she was a child. She was in charge of things herself, so she knew that some families were not clean in private.
If she lived in Yang's house, it would not be cooperation but bringing disaster to others.
Yang Wenxu was a little disappointed when he saw that the young lady didn't nod. Just when he was about to say something, a person came over. Seeing that the person was wearing a green robe with a pattern embroidered on the collar, Yang Wenxu widened his eyes in surprise.
It was still that old acquaintance. The Xianpin Bureau executive glanced at Yang Wenxu first, nodded slightly to him, and then turned to look at Qin Ruqing, his expression was obviously a little warmer than before.
With a slight bow, the butler said, "Our director invited Miss Qin Wu to come to the Xianpin Bureau to discuss cooperation. Is Miss Wu free?"
Qin Ruqing was also a little surprised. She thought that the butler just wanted to chat with her, but she didn't expect that the director of the Xianpin Bureau would actually invite her. Could it be because of the previous...
Qin Ruqing curled the corners of her mouth and replied briskly, "If the director invites me, I am of course free!"
As for Yang Wenxu behind him, this time he didn't just stare, but even opened his mouth in surprise. Looking at the back of the young lady who greeted him and left with the butler, he couldn't help but have an unbelievable guess in his heart.
Could it be that what the young lady said before about the relationship between the Qin family and the Xianpin family was actually true! !
