Chapter 1174 A Strong Start but a Weak Finish
In the lobby of Sibao Hall, Xiao Mian saw the Yuanying ancestor.
But when he saw the person for the first time, Xiao Mian frowned: Why is it her! ?
The Yuanying ancestor who came to bully the door was actually the Yuanying female cultivator who had competed with Yelusha for the auction of Luohou that night - Chi Qingxiang!
The next moment, Xiao Mian almost saw through Chi Qingxiang's intention.
Could it be that the so-called fresh meat was Luohou that Chi Qingxiang couldn't forget?
But he had clearly told Luosha to take good care of Luohou. Now it seems that Luohou must have walked out of Sibao Hall, which provoked Chi Qingxiang.
If things go wrong, Sibao Hall may suffer a huge change because of Chi Qingxiang.
Of course, Xiao Mian would not let this happen...
Yelusha didn't take Chi Qingxiang seriously that day; Xiao Mian and Yelusha were on equal terms that day; in other words, Xiao Mian also didn't take Chi Qingxiang seriously.
Even if we take a step back, Sibaotang is, after all, registered under the name of Tongbao Pavilion.
It is for this reason that Xiao Mian did not step out at the first time. He just stayed behind to see what the old witch Chi Qingxiang would do.
Chi Qingxiang's Nascent Soul pressure was released and then retracted, as if she was just announcing her identity as a dignified Nascent Soul ancestor to everyone in Sibaotang.
The more so, the more it shows that Chi Qingxiang has reservations.
It was the Jindan female cultivator next to Chi Qingxiang who spoke first.
"Sibaotang! Have you thought about it? My master is kind and gave you three days. Now that three days have passed, it's time to hand over the foundation-building period cultivator, right?"
As soon as the Jindan female cultivator spoke, Xiao Mian's attention shifted to her.
This female cultivator was the one who started the auction after Luohou at the auction that day. In the end, she was indeed bought by Chi Qingxiang for 800 immortal crystals.
Now it seems that she is doing well around Chi Qingxiang.
Facing the words of the female cultivator, Zhen Lingzi smiled bitterly and took two steps forward.
"Senior, please allow me to report: There is really no so-called young handsome guy in our Sibao Hall!"
"Hmph! Do you have to make it clear? If I remember correctly, that man is the brother of Luosha who is wanted by the Tianping Army. What is your intention in protecting the brother of a criminal? Or is it that your Sibao Hall has a close relationship with Luosha?"
"Fellow Daoist, please be careful with your words! Our Sibao Hall..."
"Shut up!" With a shout, Chi Qingxiang interrupted Zhen Lingzi's words and said coldly with some impatience: "This maid saw Luohou walk into the Sibao Hall with her own eyes. When I came to the Sibao Hall last time, I did smell his scent, but I suddenly had something urgent to deal with at that time, so I didn't bring him in. You have turned Sibaotang upside down! Since I have come to your door for the second time today, I will not let you go easily!"
"..., Senior, what do you want?"
"Either, hand over Luohou! Or, Sibaotang will close down!"
"My Sibaotang is at least a branch of Tongbao Pavilion. Even if you are a Yuanying ancestor, can you not give face to Tongbao Pavilion?"
"Tongbao Pavilion? Humph! They are just a group of businessmen! I don't want to bother with them. If I push you into a corner..."
"If I push you into a corner, what can you do to my Tongbao Pavilion?"
Interrupting Chi Qingxiang's angry shout, Xie Ying stepped on the square step and walked into the Sibaotang.
Xie Ying's body is extremely fat, and his big belly is really unique among ordinary cultivators-and therefore, Xie Ying's appearance is well known.
Moreover, Chi Qingxiang often participated in various auctions held by Tongbao Pavilion, so she naturally knew the manager of Tongbao Pavilion.
But Chi Qingxiang never expected that Xie Ying would appear here!
Although Xie Ying was only at the middle level of Jindan, he represented not only himself, but the entire Tongbao Pavilion and even the entire Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce.
Behind his fat body, there was a powerful momentum!
"It turned out to be Fellow Daoist Chi! Fatty thought someone was making trouble in my Sibao Hall! But Fellow Daoist Chi, did Fatty hear that wrong?"
"This..., Manager Xie is busy with all kinds of things, why is he here?"
"After all, Sibao Hall is a branch of Tongbao Pavilion, just like Tongbao Pavilion is a branch of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce - one day, if Tongbao Pavilion is bullied, the headquarters of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce will definitely not sit idly by! If it is really too much bullying, the old man Shancai Tongzun will not mind going to Tiandu City!"
"You! What do you mean by this?"
"Fellow Daoist Chi! There have never been any rebellious remnants in Sibao Hall. Perhaps, the maid next to you has made a mistake!"
"..."
When Xie Ying said this, Chi Qingxiang subconsciously glanced at the female cultivator next to her.
The face of the Jindan female cultivator changed drastically.
"Master! Feng'er is definitely not wrong! Luo Hou..."
"Shut up! Bitch! If you are wrong, you are wrong! You made me embarrassed along with you. Now that things have come to this, do you still want to quibble? Humph!"
With a cold snort, Chi Qingxiang waved her hand and slapped the female cultivator.
The crisp and pleasant slap made the female cultivator lose her balance and fall to the ground.
"Thank you, Steward! I didn't discipline my subordinates strictly, and I almost misunderstood Sibaotang. Fortunately, Steward Xie came in time, so I didn't make a big mistake!"
"No! No! Fellow Daoist Chi is so smart, but he was deceived by the villain!" While speaking, Xie Ying did not even look at the "villain" who fell to the ground. Instead, he reached into his arms and took out a platinum token. While handing it to Chi Qingxiang, he explained with a smile: "This is the platinum token of my Tongbao Pavilion. All prices can be discounted by 10%!"
"Oh? Thank you for your kindness, I will obey your order!"
"Fellow Daoist Chi should know what happened today?"
"Of course! Sibao Hall is a sub-colon of Tongbao Pavilion!"
"Okay! Please forgive me for having some mundane affairs to deal with, so I can't send Fellow Daoist Chi!"
"..., Manager Xie, you are too polite! Goodbye!"
After being ordered to leave by Xie Ying, Chi Qingxiang left in a huff.
The Jindan female cultivator who fell to the ground got up with difficulty, lowered her head, and followed Chi Qingxiang.
As a female slave bought by Chi Qingxiang, she could not survive without Chi Qingxiang!
Just looking at the situation today, the fate of this female cultivator is not very good...
Xiao Mian can't care about these things. Can he be a saint who worries about the world before he worries about himself and enjoys the world after he enjoys himself?
It's good enough to be able to take care of himself, how can he care about so many things?
Inviting Xie Ying to the back hall, Xiao Mian never mentioned Chi Qingxiang's affairs.
Xie Ying is an old fox, so he naturally won't bring up the pot.
Taking out the three-transformation seven-leaf clover that Xiao Mian wanted, Xie Ying planned to say goodbye and leave.
"Wait a minute, brother! Are there any good spiritual fires for sale in Tongbao Pavilion?"
"Spiritual fire?"
"Yes! It's best to have spiritual fires above the seventh level, and two balls - one relatively gentle ball for alchemy; one appropriately explosive ball for refining equipment."
"This kid! Is he planning to do something big?"
"Just to be self-sufficient! Can he steal your business?"
"Hmph! Spiritual fires above the seventh level are not easy to find. I'll keep an eye out for you first. If I can find it, I'll send it directly to Sibao Hall?"
"Thank you, brother!"
After the deal was settled, Xiao Mian let Xie Ying go.
Then, in the White Tiger Hall, Xiao Mian sat high up.
After Chi Qingxiang's commotion, everyone naturally knew that Chi Qingxiang was seduced by Luohou, and even Luosha was livid.
After all, Chi Qingxiang's arrival not only threatened the entire Sibao Hall, but also really seriously injured Wen Tianxiu - Wen Tianxiu is still unconscious!
"I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter!"
"Explanation? How can you explain? It's not that old witch you Luosha brought here! Let me ask you: Where is Luohu?"
"..."
Raksha was just wondering how to respond to Xiao Mian, but someone walked into the White Tiger Hall.
That person was Luohu.
Looking at Luohu in front of him, Xiao Mian was furious.
It wasn't that Luohu had provoked Chi Qingxiang, the witch, but Luohu's appearance...
How could there be such a handsome young man in this world?
It's true - comparing people makes people angry!
People say that beauty is a disaster, and this man is too beautiful, which is not a good thing!
"This matter is all caused by me, don't make things difficult for my sister!" Luohu, on the contrary, showed his personal responsibility. Just as Luosha's face changed slightly, Xiao Mian smiled faintly: "Very good! I thought you were a sissy! Ha!"
"You! A gentleman can be killed, but not humiliated!"
"Why should I kill you? But since you also said that this matter is all caused by you, and you are willing to take responsibility, then I will give you this opportunity!"
After saying that, Xiao Mian waved his hand without waiting for Luosha to speak.
Suddenly, a white light enveloped Luohu.
Luosha looked closely and saw that Luohu was trapped in a white cage.
Dragon prison!
Xiao Mian actually used the dragon prison to trap Luohu.
"Since this is your first offense, I will punish you to reflect on your mistakes for a month! If you dare to disobey my orders again, I promise: you will never have this opportunity again!"
"......, hum!"
Although Luo Hou was trapped in the Dragon Prison by Xiao Mian, he was not afraid at all.
Seeing that Xiao Mian only trapped Luo Hou and made it clear that Luo Hou had to reflect on his mistakes for a month, Luo Sha was not worried, but relieved.
Before that, she was also worried about how to trap Luo Hou!
Luo Hou, this kid, didn't want to stay in the Four Treasures Hall at all.
According to his own words: He wants to be a real Tiandu City cultivator!
I just hope that this month of seclusion and reflection can make Luo Hou change his mind...
"The female cultivator just now is somewhat similar to Ye Tan that day. Luo Sha, do you know that female cultivator?" It was Xiao Mian who planned Luo Sha's contemplation. After hearing what Xiao Mian said, Luosha thought for a moment, and his face changed slightly: "Feng'er? Ye Feng?"
"But Ye Tan's sister?"
"..., um!"
"Humph! It's true that enemies meet on a narrow road!"
After a cold snort, Xiao Mian said no more.
Xiao Mian placed the Dragon Prison and Luo Hou in the backyard of Sibao Hall. Then, he summoned Zhen Lingzi and others and gave them instructions.
"Mr. Ban! I want to customize a batch of standard mid-level attack and defense magic weapons from you - they don't have to be fancy, but they must be practical."
"With the Yin-Yang Cauldron, mid-level magic weapons are a piece of cake!"
"By the way, wasn't Tianxiu's Chongfeng Sword made by you, Mr. Ban?"
"That's right! But you don't know! That time, I took advantage of the bet to win against Old Man Mo from Huangdao Palace, so I was lucky enough to use his Suhezhai."
"Huangdao Palace? Old Man Mo? Suhezhai?"
"What a pity! Old man Mo has passed away! Throughout the Huangdao Palace, there is no more weapon refiner who can catch the eye of old man Ban..."
"Really? That's a pity!"
"How many intermediate magic weapons do you want to refine?"
"Everyone in the White Tiger Hall has one!"
"This... this is a big deal!"
Not only was Ban Hong stunned when he heard this, but others were also a little surprised.
You must know that in the White Tiger Hall, apart from Wen Tianxiu and Luosha, there are still twelve people. It costs a lot to equip these twelve people with standard equipment.
"No problem! Just ask Elder Kang for all the expenses!"
"Me? Where do I get the spirit stones?" After hearing what Xiao Mian said, Zhen Lingzi - Kang Qiuyan, jumped three feet high like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and waved his hands to beg for mercy: "Although I earned some spirit stones by engraving the formation, I donated them to the public funds of the Anbu in the end. Now my pockets are cleaner than my face!"
"Elder Kang! Did you forget about the jade order?"
"You mean from Tongbao Pavilion..., I understand!"
After that, Xiao Mian begged Zhen Lingzi, Hua Yunqing and Qu Shengqing to make formation plates, pills and talismans for the twelve people in the White Tiger Hall...
After all this, the spirit stones spent were almost 100 million - this was after saving the high processing fee!
It was not until this time that Zhen Lingzi had a new understanding of the amount of spirit stones that could be withdrawn from the jade order.
It was not until this moment that everyone had a new understanding of Xiao Mian's financial resources, strength and courage.
Xiao Mian was planning to use countless spirit stones to forcibly create a Jingzhe.
