Chapter 59
City Lord Invitation
It's a cool, sunny day in April.
Yan Qingyan and her husband have lived in Leiyang City for nearly two years.
Yan Qingyan felt a little funny in her heart. It seemed that they had only lived in the same place for about two years. Now that they had both established their foundation, it was time for them to leave.
Ling Mochen had been refining elixirs for more than half a year, and Yan Qingyan discovered that Ling Mochen seemed to have an obsessive-compulsive disorder, and would not rest until all the spiritual plants were "consumed". She secretly decided in her heart that in the future, she should not provide too many spiritual plants to Mochen each time.
When Ling Mochen had consumed most of the spiritual plants, Yan Qingyan finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Mo Chen, it's time for us to leave." Yan Qingyan looked at the bottles and jars in the room with a look of amazement. How many pills were needed? !
Enough to open a medicine shop in Leiyang City.
"But have you decided where to go next?" Ling Mochen asked.
The environment here is perfect for him.
The earth's fire was abundant, which was extremely compatible with his innate fire spirit body. Moreover, the streets were full of medicine shops and equipment refining shops, making it easier than anywhere else to come into contact with alchemists who were rarely seen in normal times.
During this period, he did not work behind closed doors. He would occasionally go out to attend some alchemist gatherings to exchange alchemy experiences.
Benefited a lot.
In the past two years, Ling Mochen felt that his training career was more fulfilling than in the past twenty years.
But the place that suits him is not suitable for Qingyan. They have both established their foundations, and they are also well prepared with elixirs and magic tools. It is indeed time to leave.
Liuhuo rushed out from Ling Mochen's sea of consciousness and looked at Yan Qingyan eagerly.
"Where's Amu? Humph! Don't tell me he's sleeping in again?"
Yan Qingyan said with a smile: "Don't worry, when we leave Leiyang City, I will let Amu out to play with you."
She had taken some time to release Amu and let him meet Liuhuo. The two 'spirits' hit it off immediately and got along fairly well.
But the underground fire here was too strong, and Amu was not used to it, so he stayed in the space most of the time taking care of the spiritual plants.
"Okay~" Liuhuo said lazily.
Ling Mochen fed him a mouthful of strange fire and warned him, "Liuhuo, after you leave here, don't let anyone see you."
"Am I, Liuhuo, so shameful?" Liuhuo rolled his eyes.
Does the new owner know that he was once the group's favorite?
Ling Mochen said helplessly: "No, my current cultivation is too low. Be patient for a while. When I advance to the Nascent Soul stage in the future, I will definitely let you walk sideways."
A big pie was painted in front of Liuhuo, and he actually fell for it.
"Then upgrade quickly!"
Liuhuo returned to Ling Mochen's sea of consciousness with a hum.
Ling Mochen and Yan Qingyan smiled at each other, put on their masks, and left the alchemy room together.
As soon as they walked out of the door, they were greeted by the owner of the alchemy room and the waiter who had received them.
There are three unfamiliar faces.
One of them had a dignified temperament, and one could tell at first glance that he had the aura that came from sitting in a high position for a long time. Beside him was an alchemist who smelled of elixirs, and a protector dressed as a guard.
The owner of the alchemy room stood aside and was very respectful to the few people.
The two looked at each other.
Yan Qingyan asked bluntly: "What does this mean?"
"You two, this is the Lord Mayor of our Leiyang City. I have something to discuss with you. Could you please come in and talk?" said the boss.
City lord?
Yan Qingyan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that their identities had been discovered?
A group of people entered the guest room.
The Lord of Leiyang City said straight to the point: "I would like to invite you two to join my City Lord's Mansion as guest elders. The salary is 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones per year, and all spirit plants will be provided by my City Lord's Mansion for free. What do you think?"
Ling Mochen asked: "Why us? We are just young cultivators who have just established their foundation. We should not be qualified to be guest elders of the City Lord's Mansion, right?"
"Just because you are an alchemist, and an alchemist with a very high success rate." City Lord Lei Yang looked at Ling Mochen with admiration.
The owner of the alchemy room came over to the two of them and explained, "The alchemy room you two are in consumes too much underground fire. I was afraid that something might happen to you, so I went to check it out..."
He was shocked when he checked. Wow, this person has been in the state of refining medicine the whole time!
What a tough guy!
The two of them look like casual cultivators, where did they get so many spiritual plants?
Ling Mochen understood as soon as he heard it.
The noise he made while refining the elixir was so unusual that it attracted the attention of some interested people.
Yan Qingyan glared at the boss unhappily. What about the promise to protect the customer's privacy?
Wow, even the city lord has been attracted here!
"You two are wearing masks, what troubles have you encountered? If you agree to enter my City Lord's Mansion, I will help you solve it." Lei Yang City Lord said confidently.
Lord Lei Yang is at the peak of the Golden Core Stage, and can be considered the number one person below the Nascent Soul Stage. It is said that he has the Ziyun Sect as his backer, so he does have the confidence to say this.
But he didn't know the real secret of the two. Otherwise, let alone saving them, he might not be able to control his greed.
Yan Qingyan keenly noticed that after the city lord finished speaking, the alchemist behind him looked a little unnatural.
The look he gave Mo Chen was filled with a hint of hidden hostility.
Ling Mochen chose his words carefully, and after a while he said, "Thank you for your appreciation, City Lord, but we are used to being free and undisciplined, and we don't want to join any faction at the moment."
The rejection was very blunt.
The expression on City Lord Lei Yang's face turned somewhat ugly. Yan Qingyan was secretly alert and activated the teleportation talisman to run away if anything went wrong.
Ling Mochen thought so too. The teleportation talisman appeared in his hand, hidden under his wide sleeves.
"You don't know what's good for you!"
The one who spoke was the alchemist.
Mei Dancheng said in a bad tone: "It's just that the success rate of alchemy is a little higher. There are many powerful alchemists in Leiyang City. Do you really think you are irreplaceable?"
A mere foundation-building cultivator dares to reject the city lord's kindness. He really doesn't know what's good for him!
Be careful not to get burned if you are too ambitious!
"The pill is done!" City Lord Leiyang frowned and said, "Don't be rude."
Mei Dancheng stopped talking and just looked at Ling Mochen with an even more obvious hostility.
"Don't be nervous, both of you. I, Lei Yang, never force others. If you become friends with Master Mo Dan in the future, you can come to my City Lord's Mansion to work at any time." Lei Yang's complexion returned to normal, and his tone remained steady from beginning to end, with a hint of majesty.
"Thank you, City Lord!" Ling Mochen bowed.
After the city lord and his men left, the boss said with a look of disapproval: "Such a good opportunity, why don't you agree?"
"With a backer like the city lord, the spiritual plants needed for alchemy are all free. You only need to hand over half of the elixir, and you can get spiritual stones every year. I want to be a guest official in the city lord's mansion, but they won't accept me."
As the boss spoke, his expression began to show envy, and then disappointment.
Yan Qingyan rolled her eyes and said in a bad tone: "We are happy to be casual practitioners, but you, you never said that your store can investigate the identity of customers at will, and you dare to leak the information?!"
At this time, the door of the guest room was open and the hall was crowded with many people.
Yan Qingyan said this very loudly, fearing that no one could hear her.
"How could that be! This was an accident!" The boss hurriedly whispered, "It was just that during the investigation, an employee accidentally let slip something and was overheard. If we weren't worried about you getting into an accident, we would never pry into the privacy of our guests!"
Liar!
Yan Qingyan looked unconvinced.
While the two were arguing, the few guests who had just arrived ran away.
The boss's face was dark.
The underground fire consumes so much energy and can cause so much trouble. I say, my two ancestors, you should leave quickly!
