"It's difficult, extremely difficult." Pharmacist Zuo sighed, "Unless the gift is to Pharmacist Leng's liking, a man as aloof and arrogant as Pharmacist Leng will definitely not help."
"Even if His Majesty issues an imperial decree, it won't work?" Su Luo frowned. Could the status of an alchemist be so high?
"Yes, even His Majesty's imperial decree cannot invite him. After all, Pharmacist Leng is now one of the only three high-level alchemists in Dongling Kingdom." Pharmacist Zuo stroked his beard, his eyes full of envy.
Because alchemists are extremely rare, the royal family values them extremely and grants them a very high degree of freedom.
It can be said that if an alchemist wants to serve the empire, as long as he signs up, he can get high positions, generous salaries, mountains of gold and silver, beautiful women and fiefdoms. As long as the requirements do not threaten the safety of the empire, he can get whatever he wants.
From this we can see how transcendent the status of alchemists is on the mainland.
Su Luo stood up, glanced at Nangong Liu silently, then turned to Ling Feng and said, "Looks like I have to go to the Leng Mansion myself. Nangong, I'll leave this to you."
Ling Feng frowned: "Even Butler Xu can't be invited, what else can you do? I'll go!" He turned around and was about to leave.
If the literary invitation fails, isn't there still the military invitation? Others are afraid of offending him, Leng Yan, but he, Ling Feng, is not afraid!
Su Luo stopped him, her expression calm and her tone firm: "Believe me, only I can invite him."
After she finished speaking, she said to Pharmacist Zuo, "I hope Pharmacist Zuo will lead the way. Time is running out. Pharmacist Zuo, please go ahead."
Pharmacist Zuo was really curious about what method this little girl had that made her boast so confidently that she could invite Pharmacist Leng to come, so he agreed immediately.
Although Ling Feng didn't quite agree, he didn't stop Su Luo. After all, this was also a glimmer of hope.
If Su Luo still couldn't come, he would risk his life, even if it meant kidnapping, to bring Leng Yan back. No matter what kind of high-level alchemist he was!
Leng Mansion is located in a secluded place in the west of the city, close to Nanshan Mountain. It is sparsely populated and the environment is quiet and elegant.
After getting off the carriage and seeing the scene in front of her, Su Luo couldn't help but frown slightly.
There is a wide open space in front of the gate of Leng Mansion, but now there are many people kneeling on the open space, a sea of black. A rough count shows that there are more than a hundred people.
What was even more surprising was that so many people were kneeling on the ground without making even the slightest sound. Each of them was like a sculpture in the temple, motionless and silent, like wooden stakes.
At this moment, the vermilion door opened with a "creaky" sound, and a fair-skinned middle-aged man in brocade robe walked out of the door. He looked like a pampered man. He put his hands behind his back, walked out slowly and arrogantly, and looked at the kneeling crowd with a critical look.
Whenever he walked past someone, that person would hold up the tray in their hands with great respect and humility. On the red lacquer tray were the precious gifts they had brought with them.
Some are rare medicinal herbs, some are medical manuscripts, and some are red jade crystals. The only thing in common is that none of those things are ordinary.
However, the cold butler's gaze was as cold as his surname. He was arrogant and picky. He walked straight through three rows without liking anything.
Wherever he walked, people could not hide the disappointment in their eyes.
Since Butler Leng didn't express his satisfaction, it meant they had no chance...
The cold butler strolled slowly, sneering nonchalantly, "Garbage, all garbage! How dare you use this garbage to fool our master? Haha, I'm telling you, no chance! Hurry up, get out of here!"
