Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

"Master Chen is so lucky. Now that the Sun family has taken the initiative to step forward, it is equivalent to giving up the position to you."

"How could the Sun family be your opponent? This is definitely a good thing for you!"

"We congratulate you first!"

Yang Ling heard these words as soon as he got closer, and couldn't help but sigh, these people are really cunning, telling lies with open eyes.

Fortunately, the head of the Chen family did not take their words to heart. If it were an ordinary person, he would have been flattered after hearing what they said.

When Patriarch Chen looked up and saw Yang Ling, he became extremely excited and walked quickly towards him.

"You're finally here. I was just about to find you!"

Yang Ling was not polite and directly found a seat to sit down. When everyone saw Yang Ling, they all smiled. They knew Yang Ling's strength and that he would likely become a powerful force in the future. It would be a good thing for them to be on good terms with Yang Ling.

At this moment, a person suddenly said something.

"Mr. Zhao, I've heard of you a long time ago. If you have a chance, you can come to my house and have a visit!" The people around him were a little overwhelmed. Everyone was just praising him, but he took the initiative and poached him right in front of everyone else. Why didn't they think of this?
Yang Ling waved his hand.

"If there is a chance, I will come to visit you!"

"I wonder what Patriarch Chen's next plan is. Do you need my help?"

After saying that, he turned to look at the head of the Chen family. It can be seen that the Sun family will definitely deal with the Chen family, and he will naturally not stand idly by.

Patriarch Chen was a little conflicted. He never liked to trouble others. Yang Ling had helped them last time and made them famous on the leaderboard.

Now they have to run around for their personal affairs, and it seems a bit unreasonable to ask Yang Ling to help.

"It's no big deal. I have a score to settle with the Sun family. I don't take this little favor seriously. It's just something I can do!"

Their eyes swept between the two of them. Yang Ling's words clearly showed his support for the Chen family and his willingness to help them deal with the Sun family.

If it was said by someone else, no one would believe it, but when it came from Yang Ling's mouth, he was not an ordinary character, and being able to casually kill people above his level was definitely not a joke. They looked at each other and knew that it was the best time to choose the Chen family at this time. By then, everything would be too late.

"I think the Sun family is too arrogant. They have done a lot of bad things in private over the years. It's time to teach them a lesson!"

"Yes, who else can deal with them except you!"

"Of course we are on your side. The Sun family is not worthy of you!" They raised their lips. After weighing the pros and cons, they felt that the Chen family was much better than the Sun family. The Sun family's backers were just so-so, and they could still afford to offend them.

The situation is different on the Chen family's side. Not only is there Yang Ling, but there is also a person with terrifying strength beside Yang Ling.

That's so powerful. These two people can definitely defeat the Sun family if they make a move. Even a fool can see that the Chen family has too many advantages.

The head of the Chen family laughed out loud.

"Thank you very much, I hope you can help me when the time comes. I will naturally remember your kindness!"

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal! If you have any problems in the future, just come to us!"

"In the future, we will be loyal to each other and will definitely stand by your side!"

They rushed to speak, almost trying to please him. It was not certain how much truth there was in it.

Yang Ling acted very calm, thinking that things would eventually be resolved.

After that, Yang Ling didn't want to stay any longer, so he went to the city for a walk after the chat. The city was very lively, and they hadn't had time to have fun before, so now was a good time to relax.

There were too many fights during this period, so there was little time to play around. Yang Ling was strolling when he suddenly heard a voice.

"Mr. Zhao, I finally found you!"

Yang Ling looked up and felt that the man looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

He thought carefully and realized that this was the man who was in the restaurant that day.

The man looked excited and walked quickly to Yang Ling.

"I haven't introduced myself to you before. My name is Xu Xiaotao. I didn't expect to see you again. How about coming over to my place and sitting down?"

"I'm not interested, let's just forget it!" Yang Ling refused decisively. He felt that this person was a little unusual. Although he seemed fine on the surface, he always felt something was weird about him.

"Why don't you come sit over there? I've specially prepared some tea for you, and I'm waiting to have a good chat with you!" Xu Xiaotao looked Yang Ling up and down, not knowing what he was up to. Yang Ling felt that he had come with bad intentions.

Especially when Xu Xiaotao saw Yang Ling, his eyes were shining.

Yang Ling decided to go and see what he was up to.

"Then I'll go with you to have a look!"

Yang Ling said seriously. Hearing Yang Ling's words, Xu Xiaotao breathed a sigh of relief and walked in front to lead the way. Not long after, they arrived at the restaurant.

Anyway, it’s not the first time here, Yang Ling has already gotten used to it.

"I found a private room especially for you, come in quickly!"

As expected, it was specially arranged, and the table was filled with a variety of dishes.

Xu Xiaotao specially poured a cup of tea for Yang Ling.

"This is the tea I have been collecting. Please taste it carefully. This tea is extremely rare. I only have a small bag of it!"

Yang Ling picked up the cup and took a few sips. It was indeed good.

"I wonder what on earth is the matter that has taken so much trouble to find me here?"

Yang Ling glanced at Xu Xiaotao. He was too obvious. He knew without even looking that he had other ideas. Yang Ling also realized that his opponent's strength was not as simple as it seemed. He had to be more careful.

Xu Xiaotao actually didn't have any specific plans when he looked for Yang Ling.

"As expected of you, Mr. Zhao. You are very perceptive. I can't hide my little thoughts from you!" Xu Xiaotao deliberately paused before speaking slowly.

"Actually, I came to you because I want to discuss something with you. Actually, I want to negotiate a deal with you!" Yang Ling didn't find it strange. Since he got the top spot, everyone knew about it. He didn't know how many eyes were staring at him. It was not surprising that Xu Xiaotao came to him.

"Just say whatever you want to say." Yang Ling could see that Xu Xiaotao was inviting him sincerely, and since the other party was so open, he didn't need to beat around the bush.

"Actually, I came here from another place. There is another place besides this place, where the strongest people gather and there are a lot of resources!" Yang Ling was thoughtful. Xu Xiaotao definitely didn't tell him everything, but he guessed that the strength of that place was not bad. With Xu Xiaotao's strength, that place was definitely not ordinary. Moreover, they had experienced so much coming and going, so they naturally knew that there was more than one place.

"That place is in Nanzhou! There are many forces there, from various families and other sects. I came here from that place because I was hunted by my enemies and had to flee here. Although I have some strength now, I am unwilling to give up. I want to chase them back!" Xu Xiaotao clenched his fists and spoke word by word. Yang Ling could feel that what he said was true.

"Especially in you, I see endless potential, why don't you just agree to it!"

Yang Ling frowned slightly. He didn't believe this reason alone. Moreover, he was not that strong now. What was Xu Xiaotao's purpose in saying so much?
"Just say it directly, don't beat around the bush. Do you really think I can't see it?"

Xu Xiaotao didn't know what to say.

"I just want you to help me. After it's done, I will definitely not treat you unfairly!" Yang Ling smiled.

"Why do I feel like you think too highly of me? I may not be able to help you. And you also said that there are many talented people in that area, who are much more powerful than we thought."

"If I go there, I definitely won't be able to help you. How can I explain this?"

"Don't be so modest." Xu Xiaotao praised generously.

"I am very accurate in judging people. Your strength can definitely help me. Your strength can definitely crush them, and it may even be no worse than theirs!" Yang Ling waved his hands. He was a little tired of hearing such words, and his ears were almost callused.

"I just want to know, how are you going to let me help you, and what strength do you have to let me help you?"

"It's very simple. Before I was caught up, I came from the Qin family. The Qin family has a lot of strength and a lot of inheritance behind them. They are even quite proficient in swordsmanship!"

"Although it looks like a family, in fact its strength is no less than that of a sect!" Xu Xiaotao said seriously.

"I think there should be more than one person behind you. Otherwise, how can you be so confident to go back? I guess things are not that simple!" Yang Ling's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. How did Xu Xiaotao know that he had thought of this? No one else could have guessed it.

"You really can't hide anything from your eyes. In that case, I will confess that there are indeed other forces behind me."

After Yang Ling heard what he said, he suddenly said something.

"If that's the case, then there's nothing more to say. If there's any talk, it should be the person behind you who should talk to me, not you. What's the point of you talking to me?"

For a moment, Xu Xiaotao was dumbfounded. He felt a little embarrassed to let others talk to him, not to mention that the person behind him was not an ordinary person.

Yang Ling ignored him and wanted to leave. Just when he was a little entangled, a voice interrupted his action.

"I am indeed a little sorry for not being able to let you stay. Please don't blame me!"

The man looked very young, and his behavior exuded an unusual aura, and he was definitely not a simple person. He did not show any arrogance, but instead acted very calmly.

Yang Ling instantly became interested.

"Master, why did you come out? Sit down quickly!"

"I'll pour you tea myself!" His attitude was very attentive, which was enough to prove how powerful he was.

"I'm really sorry that I couldn't come out to greet you in person. I hope you don't mind!"

"Actually, I saw what happened that day, and I mainly wanted to talk to you more, so we can discuss anything!"

He said seriously.

Yang Ling had a blank expression on his face. The person in front of him was straightforward and didn't beat around the bush at all.

"My name is Qin Yixian, and I've heard of your great name for a long time!"

"Besides doing business, we can also be friends, right?"

Yang Ling didn't believe his sweet words.

"I remember you didn't say that before, are you lying to me?"

"I believe you won't take what happened before too seriously. It was just a small trick of mine!"

Yang Ling smiled and had to say it.

"What exactly do you want me to do? If it's just for this, I really don't believe it!"

Speaking of this, Qin Yixian's face turned gloomy.

"It's actually very simple. Our Qin family will hold a competition every few years. All you have to do is win a place in it, and everything you get will be yours!"

"But you have to compete under my name. That's all I ask. The rest is up to you."

Yang Ling was thoughtful. What the other party said made some sense. He probably guessed Qin Yixian's character.

It seems that Qin Yixian just wanted to get a position, so he used all kinds of means. He became a substitute and only needed to help in the competition.

This was not a difficult matter for him. After all, the conditions proposed by Qin Yixian were very favorable, and he had no reason not to agree. Yang Ling thought for a while and agreed, but he continued:

"I can help you, but we have to make a reasonable deal. I can help you, but you have to tell me what you can give me, otherwise, I can't help you!"

Qin Yixian finally felt relieved. He could afford whatever Yang Ling wanted. To him, those things were nothing.

"You can have whatever you want, and we will really do our best to train you!"

"Don't worry about this matter!"

His expression was serious. After all, he had never met anyone like Yang Ling.

He saw endless potential in Yang Ling, and Yang Ling understood it more thoroughly than others, which was absolutely rare.

If he was not mistaken, Yang Ling's future achievements would definitely surpass his.

"I am also a straightforward person and don't want to beat around the bush. If you help me, I will naturally remember it. Let's hope that we can both achieve our wishes!"

He had a slight smile on his face. He thought Yang Ling would be difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

In fact, Yang Ling felt a bit of unusual aura from him, and it was a bit familiar, so he agreed to it and wanted to find out what he could find from him. In this regard, he knew very well what he wanted.

Xu Xiaotao was very excited. It was great. If Qin Yixian could go back, his position, money and energy would be greatly improved in the future.

"Oh, by the way, the date will probably be in a few months, and we can set off together. That will be a good time for you to take action. I have a pill in my hand that can help you improve your strength!"

As he said that, he took the things out directly. Since Yang Ling learned some mysterious methods, he also knew some knowledge of alchemy.

It must be said that he could see the importance of this pill at a glance. He couldn't help but smile. This thing was very expensive, much more precious than ordinary medicine. (End of this chapter)
