Received the first round of angel investment
In the Xianpin Bureau, the Fifth Director, the Recorder, and the executive officers under him were welcoming a distinguished guest.
The Chief Director of the Southern Region Xianpin Bureau, Fifth Haoran, was a real Yuanying Zhenren. He wore a huge dark blue Taoist robe, black hair, and a crown. He did not look old, like a calm and majestic middle-aged man.
Haoran Zhenren had big hands and feet, and was even taller. He walked in front of the Xianpin Bureau officials with a slightly gloomy face, which gave people a great sense of oppression.
In the midst of silence, the Fifth Director stepped forward and said, "Master Haoran."
"Regarding the crack in the southern primitive forest wall, I have already mentioned it in the previous letter..."
The Fifth Director raised his hand to interrupt him and said directly, "Where is the crack? Take me there."
If there were people from Nanling here, they would definitely be shocked, because the Director of the Xianpin Department, who was unattainable in their eyes, would actually be so humble and accept being scolded.
But the Fifth Director seemed to be accustomed to it. The Fifth Xianpin family originally advocated the hierarchy system and emphasized the survival of the fittest. The superiors should be respected, and the inferiors should not be offended. Status and resources need to be obtained through competition. The winners become stronger and stronger, and the weaker ones gradually squeeze down until they are eliminated. If anyone is not adaptable to such rules, just leave. The Xianpin family does not need one or two strong men.
The fifth director bowed and began to lead the way for Master Haoran.
Master Haoran did not seem to want to waste time, and directly used a one-way transmission scroll that seemed extremely rare to the outside world. The scroll opened with a bang, and a dark gap appeared. Master Haoran said in a deep voice: "Locate!"
The fifth director directly pinched a trick, and the two disappeared on the spot.
The gap in the wall appeared outside the center of the primitive dense forest. It didn't look too big, about the length and width of a person. Near the gap, the dark space began to twist and fold. It was impossible to look closely, or you would feel dizzy.
Haoran Zhenren's gloomy face finally eased a little, "Fortunately, it can be sealed. If the crack gets bigger, I will definitely report it to my superiors. By then, you can forget about this position!"
The fifth director seemed to be relieved. Naturally, he knew the seriousness of the matter. He immediately bowed and said, "Thank you for taking care of me."
Haoran Zhenren snorted coldly, and a square mirror with rounded corners appeared in his palm. This mirror is bronze in color and engraved with ancient secret texts. It doesn't look complicated. However, it is this simplicity that makes it extraordinary.
The fifth director couldn't help but hold his breath. Dingtian Square Mirror. It is a top-grade magic weapon placed in the treasure house of the Southern Domain Xianpin Bureau.
In other words, it no longer belongs to the category of "magic weapon", but is passed down from an ancient immortal family to guard all the places.
Master Haoran glanced at the Fifth Director and said coldly: "You are not so comfortable in Nanling that you can't even remember the formula of Dingtian Four-sided Mirror?"
This mockery was of course to blame the Fifth Director for causing him such a big trouble. The Fifth Director did not dare to say anything, and immediately formed a magic seal. Master Haoran moved with him. The two of them worked together, cooperated with the Dingtian Four-sided Mirror, and began to really repair and seal the gap in the wall.
This repair lasted for an hour without stopping. Master Haoran had a high level of cultivation and had been controlling the Four-sided Mirror for many years, so it was better. However, the Fifth Director's face was pale, his tendons were stiff, and he could not even maintain the posture of the seal.
Repairing the space-time barrier is a big deal. If it weren't for the four-sided mirror, even if the two Yuanying Zhenren were here, it would be useless.
Finally, the last crack slowly closed, and after everything was closed, the water-like pattern swayed for a while, and finally disappeared completely. The fifth director was paralyzed to the ground.
The Dingtian Four-sided Mirror hummed twice, and actually fell directly from the suspended state, and was caught by Zhenren Haoran. A closer look showed that the ancient secret text had dimmed and finally disappeared. Now it really looked like an ordinary mirror.
The disappearance of the secret code seemed to have evaporated millions of spirit stones in the eyes of Master Haoran. His mood became bad again. "The Four-sided Mirror needs to be repaired for at least five years. During these five years, you must closely check the movements of the southern jungle. If there are cracks again, don't come to me. I don't care what method you use to seal the cracks. If you can't seal them, you will pay with your life!"
The Fifth Director's heart was instantly plunged into a bottomless abyss by these words, but he dared not refute and could only agree.
In any case, the cracks were finally repaired, and the two returned to the Immortal Product Bureau again, as if they were in the mood to talk about other things at this time.
Master Haoran was sitting at the top. He had just finished listening to what the Fifth Director said. He had already captured all the escaped monsters and plugged the gaps. Because the gaps were not big, no powerful high-level monsters escaped.
This was probably the only pleasant thing to hear among so many bad things. Master Haoran's expression eased a little, but he still spoke with sarcasm, "You will think of ways to keep the hat on your head."
The Fifth Director was very serious, "If I don't want to find a way, wouldn't it be a waste of Master's cultivation."
Master snorted. The Fifth Director was right. Although Master Haoran was so sarcastic, if the Fifth Director's hat was lost, he would be the first to worry.
Because the Fifth Director was supported by Master Haoran. Every job has its own place. If the Fifth Director leaves, his position will be taken by someone else. Master Haoran is certainly not happy that someone is not his subordinate.
The two of them chatted privately, so there is no need to worry about it. Master Haoran said bluntly: "Your position must be firmly occupied by me! The Feng family is not satisfied with managing the most lucrative East Region, and they also want to interfere in the affairs of the South Region... If you withdraw, the water in the South Region will be even more muddy."
There are two Feng families in Qianyuan Continent, the Fifth and the Feng family. Isn't the other immortal family that Master Haoran is talking about?
In front of the Fifth Director, Master Haoran severely scolded the Feng family members who were against him, and then chatted about other things, "You just said that the Qin family played a big role in discovering the abnormality in the dense forest this time?"
"Which family is the Qin family?" Master Haoran was a little confused.
"The Qin family, which once moved from Yingzhou in the Eastern Region to Nanling, had a Yuanying Zhenren in their ancestor. Later, the Yingzhou Incident..."
"Oh," Zhenren Haoran remembered it after hearing this. If it was just an ordinary small family, he might not be able to remember it, but he did have some impression of the Qin family. Allowing the Qin family to move from the Eastern Region to the Southern Region had to pass his hand and get his nod.
"From what you said, the Qin family has not fallen into despair, and there is a sign of revival?" The aristocratic families seem to believe in the theory of luck. After the Yingzhou Incident, the Qin family's luck was equivalent to being cut off in their eyes. Generally speaking, in such a situation, 90% of them will not be able to recover.
The fifth director nodded: "The Qin family's fortune did stop for a while, but I don't know since when it started to improve again. Now there are three people in the family who have established the foundation, and their ancestor has also completed the foundation and has the hope of forming the pill."
The Qin family did a great job this time, which made the fifth director feel satisfied. Therefore, he did not hesitate to praise them in front of Master Haoran.
Master Haoran didn't care much and said bluntly: "If you think it's good, just support it secretly, but don't go too far and give others a handle." The
Xianpin Bureau said that it was absolutely neutral and didn't get involved in the affairs of the noble families, but it privately supported the noble families it favored, just like supporting Miaomiao. There were all kinds of interests involved, which was too normal.
It was so normal that Master Haoran didn't even bother to cover it up and pointed it out directly.
After briefly mentioning the Qin family, the topic quickly turned back to the cracks in the wall, because Master Haoran only cared about this.
Oh, not really, he also briefly mentioned the Hundred Clans Conference and told the Fifth Director to start selecting talents. Because this was related to the face of the Southern Region.
The Hundred Races Conference... The Fifth Director's mind somehow flashed to the clever girl of the Qin family. He wanted to say that he had found a good seedling, but he had just mentioned the Qin family. If he mentioned it again, he might annoy the real person, so he swallowed his words.
In this way, the matter was finally revealed.
A few days later, the Xianpin Bureau actually awarded the Qin family openly, saying that they had made contributions to pacifying the chaos in the southern jungle.
In the Qin family's territory, Qin Deming waved to Qin Ruqing, "Come here, my daughter, look at what the Xianpin Bureau has given us."
Qin Ruqing wandered over and didn't care at first. The Xianpin Bureau's open gift would inevitably give people a chance to criticize, and the things it gave would definitely be "reasonable", without any mistakes or surprises.
Sure enough, when her father took out the gift list, Qin Ruqing glanced at it and didn't dare to put it down with interest. She teased, "Dad, your family treasury is rich again, just enjoy it yourself, why tell me?"
Qin Deming has now learned to suppress before he can show off. Seeing that Qin Ruqing didn't guess it this time, he finally got proud and took out another small wooden box from under the table.
It looked ordinary, not to mention any special equipment, there was not even a silk pattern.
However... Qin Ruqing sniffed with her little nose and said suspiciously, "It seems to be a pill."
Qin Deming raised his eyebrows, "My daughter, although you are not talented in refining pills, your nose is very sensitive." He unfolded the ordinary wooden box, and three seemingly ordinary pills lay quietly inside.
Qin Ruqing fixed his eyes on one of the pills. The pattern looked a bit like the Small Broken Mirror Pill.
Qin Deming was very surprised. He felt that his daughter's knowledge of pills was not enough to give him a headache. It was already great that she knew about pills.
Qin Deming did not keep her in suspense and introduced them one by one from left to right: "Small Broken Mirror Pill, Broken Mirror Pill, Large Broken Mirror Pill."
Qin Ruqing: ...Who named this series of pills? Why are they so unsophisticated?
Based on the effect of the Small Mirror-Broken Pill, Qin Ruqing quickly guessed the effects of the other pills, "The Mirror-Broken Pill can improve the realm of the Foundation Establishment Period, and the Large Mirror-Broken Pill can affect the Golden Core Period?" Her eyes rolled and she quickly thought of something else, "The Small Mirror-Broken Pill has a certain chance of triggering a Foundation Establishment effect. Do other, more advanced pills of the same series have similar effects?" Qin Deming thought about it carefully and shook his head, "These three pills
have a certain chance of triggering a Foundation Establishment effect .
It has the ability to break mirrors for different realms, but only the small broken mirror pill has special effects. Because it is said that the inventor of this small broken mirror is a top genius alchemist. Later generations imitated his creativity and developed pills for higher levels, but they did not have the same amazing feeling as before. "
Even so, these three pills are still invaluable. It can even be said that the Xianpin Bureau is simply generous to a frightening degree this time.
Without saying anything else, just one thing, the big broken mirror pill can work on the Jindan stage, but their family does not even have a Jindan. Giving a good thing that a silver-grade family would covet, you can imagine how big this is.
Qin Deming was frightened by this, so he asked Qin Ruqing to come over to ask.
"My dear daughter, the Xianpin Bureau sent such an expensive gift, but what is the purpose?"
"Purpose?" Qin Ruqing's mouth curled up, "Was this small wooden box sent together with the gift list?"
Qin Deming was stunned and shook his head, "No." He lowered his voice, "The recorder secretly gave it to me."
Qin Ruqing clapped his hands lightly and smiled, "Then it's settled. If it's secretly given, it means it's not something that can be seen in the open. Tell me, what is there about the Xianpin Bureau that is not to be seen in the open?"
Qin Deming was the patriarch after all, and he reacted immediately. The thing that is not to be seen in the open by the Xianpin Bureau is the breach of the southern jungle wall. "You mean, hush money?" The last three words were not uttered aloud, but were lip-synced.
Seeing his daughter nod, Qin Deming became calm. If it was hush money, it would be normal. "However, if it is really hush money, then the amount is really a bit large!"
Qin Ruqing: "In addition to hush money, this is also to express the attitude of the director of the Xianpin Bureau. The recorder is the director's confidant. The director is saying that he is optimistic about our family and secretly investing in us."
——All the resources that the silver family needs to use have been given. It is not an advance investment.
Secret investment?
When my father heard this, he was not surprised but happy. "If it is true that the director is optimistic about our family and has placed a bet in advance, then the matter of our family's upgrade can basically be said to be set in stone!"
"Dad, you are not surprised. Isn't the Xianpin Bureau known for its absolute neutrality?" Qin Ruqing was surprised.
Qin Deming shook his head. As the clan leader, he certainly knew some things. He tucked his hands under his fold and said in a very knowledgeable way, "There is no such thing as absolute neutrality in this world. I have long heard that the Immortal Product Bureau will secretly support the noble families it favors. The noble families supported by the Immortal Product Bureau will also develop much faster. Think about it, our upgrade materials must be reviewed by the Immortal Product Bureau. If they don't like you, it's not a problem to hold you back for three to five years. No, on the contrary, if they want to support you, some projects may be approved for you even if they do not meet the standards... But the risk is too great, and the general support is to secretly give you some resources or something. "
The more he talked, the happier his father was, and he sighed, "I didn't expect that such a good thing would happen to our family. This also shows that our family does have development potential..."
Qin Deming was so happy, and Qin Ruqing clicked her tongue twice, and she also felt in a good mood. It seems that her previous operation was useful.
However, it seems that Director Changmei's own situation is not very good. If his own position is stable, he will not think about supporting the people below to increase his chips. It seems that the broken wall still has a great impact on him.
After talking with his father for a while, Qin Ruqing returned to her yard.
After the ancestor took the ice and fire grass and the spiritual fruit, he has been in seclusion. In a few months at least, or half a year at most, the Qin family will have a brand new ancestor who is no longer injured.
In Qin Ruqing's heart, although the task of treating the ancestor's injury has not been completed, she has already put a √ sign behind it. She is just waiting for the ancestor to come out of seclusion, so that the chance to win the lottery rewarded by the system can be obtained.
And two days ago, Xiao Tang also came to her and told her that the matter of asking him to help improve the alchemy furnace last time has also made progress. It seems that the line of the elixir industry will be completed soon, and there will be another chance to win the lottery.
Plus this time - her father built a foundation! And she was favored by the Immortal Product Bureau, and her family's potential value increased. The system rewarded her with a lottery.
Qin Ruqing counted on her fingers, and suddenly her heart skipped a beat. That is to say, if she didn't count wrong... the lottery opportunities she got and didn't get added up, it seemed that there were already nine, that is to say, the child's ten consecutive, is it coming soon?
After calming down her slightly fast heartbeat, Qin Ruqing thought about it, and suddenly asked: "Hey, system, can we have nine consecutive?"
The system was speechless on the spot. She actually dared to ask such a question. Knowing that its good host has always been like this, the system pretended to be dead.
"Well, fine, ten consecutive draws are ten consecutive draws, then I'll just work harder to get the last chance to win the lottery..." Humph, the damn system is stingy.
After checking the progress of the system, Qin Ruqing adjusted her tasks for the next period of time.
There are still three years before the small floating space is opened. During this time, she will integrate and settle the family, and then go to Xiling.
Qin Ruqing has an idea that no one has said. She plans to complete the foundation building during this trip to Xiling.
She has always focused her energy on the upgrade of the family. Although her own cultivation has also increased, it seems that it is all due to her own talent. She didn't put much effort in this.
The situation in the southern jungle this time made her feel a little bit of crisis. Based on her intuition, she felt that the situation was not simple.
Strength is the foundation of survival in this world of immortal cultivation. Qin Ruqing felt that her current strength was not improving fast enough (she couldn't tell anyone, or she would be beaten to death, or at least put in a sack). She planned to adjust her focus from the family to her own cultivation.
First, set a small goal that can be accomplished, for example, after returning from Xiling, she would carry a bag of treasures and go home as a foundation builder:D
