Chapter 352 A Strange Gift
After hearing Li Wan's words, Xiao Qingning couldn't help feeling warm in her heart, and looked at him affectionately. .
It's not that she's a philistine, but in this world, a wife is more expensive than her husband, and if a female cultivator doesn't have extraordinary talent and fortune, most of them have to rely on her Taoist companions.
Of course, vice versa.
Speaking of this, Li Wan couldn't help being a little puzzled: "The Xiao family in Wushan is also considered a family, why didn't you help you form alchemy."
Xiao Qingning cast a reproachful glance at Li Wan, and said, "Being rich in Tiangongfang doesn't mean the Xiao family is rich, and being rich in the Xiao family doesn't mean I'm rich."
"Oh?" Li Wan was slightly taken aback, but then also laughed.
It's not that he really didn't understand, but he didn't turn around for a while.
Seeing Li Wan smiling, Xiao Qingning couldn't help being touched.
She is indeed from an aristocratic family, but aristocratic families can also be divided into big and small. Even a large family has more than one child. It is impossible to squander the wealth of the public. It must be spent within the means and spent on the most critical places.
An aristocratic family like the Xiao family still has some assets, but the expenses are also very high. One to three members of the family in each generation need guarantees to form alchemy, and more than a dozen or twenty alchemy dead men who guard the family foundation need guarantees. For a production site, the cost of operation needs to be guaranteed, which is billions or tens of billions here.
Although Xiao Qingning was the eldest lady in the past, her own personal wealth is only the income from a few workshops.
There are probably millions of dollars per year here, and it takes more than half a lifetime for an ordinary casual cultivator in the late stage of foundation establishment to save it. That is to say, her wealth is a hundred times greater than that of a casual cultivator.
But these are used to buy magic weapons, subsidize the family, and live an ordinary life of small wealth. If you want to pursue the alchemy and make progress, you have to accumulate it for hundreds of years.
This is because, the more extraordinary the children of the family, the more expenses they will have to spend. Just to maintain their normal life, recruiting and rewarding customers, and developing a foundation are expensive expenses.
And even if the spirit jade is saved in the end, luck is good enough, and you can buy it smoothly, you may not be able to form an alchemy. Even if you form an alchemy, most of your lifespan has been consumed, and it is still unknown what can be done.
This kind of stingy accumulation method, let alone monks, even ordinary people in the world know that it is not advisable.
On the contrary, there is a joke that it is better to marry well than to be born well and have good qualifications.
Now she feels quite well married, and she is satisfied in her heart.
In the next few days, Li Wan and others waited for the Hunyuan Dragon and Tiger Pill they wanted to arrive in Kuishan City.
Pills are sufficient for foundation building and Qi refining realms. With the cultivation base and strength of Li Wan and others, they are sufficient for priority supply, but they will have to wait for the panacea for alchemy.
At this time, Li Wan also learned about the operation of some entrusted transactions of the Jialanmen, and just learned that big deals like theirs are not open to single individuals, only masters, Yezi, or Master Yifeng. Only the general leader of a party is eligible.
If it is the kind of casual cultivator who is alone and has no support, the qualification to enter this threshold must be the cultivation base of Nascent Soul!
When Elder Yan mentioned this to Li Wan, he also simply gave him a jade token.
Li Wan couldn't help being surprised when he received it.
This small piece of token magic weapon turned out to be a treasure-level magic weapon of great value. Although it was just a gradeless treasure, it was enough to engrave quite a lot of information for identifying identities and communicating with each other.
Holding such a token is even more a status symbol.
"This order is called the Jialan Order, and the holder will be my guest of the Jialan Gate. If there is anything to do in the future, you can rely on it to contact the other courtyard of our gate in Tiannan..."
When Elder Yan said this, he seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then continued: "Including Feixian Palace, they also recognize this order, so the people who are looking for Feixian Palace are the same."
Li Wan is now a Master of Qi Dao, completely enough to be on an equal footing with those masters of Lingfeng Peak.It's just that there is no such a blessed place to sit on the ground and make money.
Back at the Abode, Xiao Qingning told Li Wan one more thing: "Over at the Lingbao Sect, some fellow Taoists you know have sent congratulatory gifts over."
It turned out that after Li Wan was listed on the earthly evil list, the Lei family brothers, Feng Haoran and others who had nod acquaintances all asked someone to send some congratulatory gifts.These congratulatory gifts are not so much from them, but rather from the Lei family and the Ou family behind them, hoping to increase contact through this matter and establish a good relationship with Li Wan.
These people's feelings towards Li Wan are actually quite complicated. On the one hand, they are envious and jealous, and on the other hand, they are also admired. Human beings, since the announcement of the list of gods, all of them have changed their usual arrogance or laziness, and all of them have taken the initiative to retreat and practice hard.
Now they are either flavescens cheats or raising furnaces and refining weapons all day long, working in full swing.
Even Ze Yiping, whose whereabouts have been unknown, sent a gift through the relationship of the Jialan Business Association.
When mentioning the fact that Ze Yiping was not on the list, Li Wan pondered for a while, and said: "It is a matter of course. If he is in the hometown of Beihuang this time, there may still be some chances, but traveling in Zhongzhou these years, it is really a solution. Not anymore."
Xiao Qingning smiled and said: "He also has a master master, but he is not in Zhongzhou. Husband, when it comes to this, you are much better than others. You don't rely on a master, and you don't have seniors. Even the key treasures are not available. It was given by Elder Xia, and the conditions are far more difficult than theirs."
Speaking of this, she was rather proud.
Hearing this, Li Wan couldn't help but have a strange expression on his face. He knew very well in his heart what he relied on to surpass other geniuses.
"Okay, let's see what they sent."
Li Wan and his wife searched through the list of congratulatory gifts sent by each family, and as expected, they were all valuable treasures, each of which was between two and three million.
"Reply to express your gratitude. It's considered their intention to do this."
For these people's overtures, Li Wan was also dispensable, so he casually asked Xiao Qingning.
Xiao Qingning said again at this time: "There is one more thing, husband, you have to read this letter, it seems a bit strange."
"What's the matter?" Li Wan took a letter from Xiao Qingning with some doubts, but found that something was wrong, "Da Luomen Mujia?"
Xiao Qingning asked: "Husband, when you were in Dingshan and Tianshushan, did you have any contact with the Mu family?"
Li Wan said without hesitation: "No."
Xiao Qingning smiled and said, "Really? I thought I remembered it wrong."
After retiring from the position of Tiangongfang's acting owner, Xiao Qingning has been following Li Wan's side, taking care of trivial matters for him, and managing the family business. Logically speaking, he knows all about his dealings with monks from all sides, so there is no reason to remember him wrong of.
"What does this Mu family mean? This gift is not light."
Li Wan took out a gift list from the envelope. On this thin gift list, there were all kinds of rare treasures with a total value of nearly [-] million!
Among these things, there are not only precious materials, but also food, clothing, use, and play. There are many varieties and complete items, and they have been directly transported to Tiannan Kong Minggu by someone, so there is no need for Li Wan and others to bother. receive.
According to the owner of this letter, he is Mu Zongyuan, the head of the Mu family, one of the four ancient families of Daluomen, one of the ten major sects in Zhongzhou.
"Such monks are usually inside their respective sects. They have promised to be promoted, and they are almost sure to be able to ensure that they will become the elders of Yuanying. Hand in hand? Could it be that he wants to spend a lot of money to ask me to help him refine the weapon? But everyone understands this truth, and when there is no friendship, it is not afraid that it will be rude if you give such a generous gift?"
Li Wan was very confused by the other party's actions.
There is also a lot of particularity in gift giving. If you give it lightly, you look down on others;
At this time, the congratulatory gift from Mu's family was undoubtedly too heavy, which is exactly what confused Li Wan and the others.
Xiao Qingning said: "According to the logic, the older the family, the more etiquette they have. They will definitely not make this kind of mistake."
Li Wan talked with Xiao Qingning for a while, but he was still puzzled.
Just at this time, Li Wan and Xiao Qingning found out that there was another small object that came with the gift list, and they couldn't help but feel a little bit interested.
This is a small brocade box. Before it was sent in, Miyan Miluo and others had checked it inside and out, and found nothing abnormal.
When they opened it, Li Wan and Xiao Qingning were surprised.
Inside is a delicate purple gold bracelet.
"This Mu family, what's going on?"
The reason why the two were surprised was that this purple-gold bracelet was exactly the same as the one Lin Jingshu was wearing, and it was obviously an imitation crafted according to the same pattern.
Although it is an imitation, if you don't know its origin, you can't make it.
Before Li Wan could say anything, Xiao Qingning had already said knowingly to Mi Yan who was standing beside him: "Go and ask the second lady to come over."
Lin Jingshu came over soon. She was trying on makeup in the room, with some pearl powder on her cheeks, full of doubts.
Li Wan beckoned: "Shu'er, come here."
After he asked Lin Jingshu to come over, he rolled up her sleeves under her suspicious gaze, revealing his tender white arms.
Lin Jingshu was a little confused at first, but soon, her gaze also fell on the bracelet in Li Wan's hand, and she couldn't help being stunned.
Seeing that she seemed to realize something, Xiao Qingning sighed softly, and said, "We came here to tell you about this matter. Have you ever heard the family mention the Mu family of Da Luomen?"
Lin Jingshu was a little confused and said, "No."
Xiao Qingning said: "That's strange, what's the matter with this bracelet?"
Li Wan remembered something and asked Mi Yan, "Is the person who brought this thing still around?"
Mi Yan said: "Yes."
Li Wan nodded slightly: "That's right, Qing Ning, you wait here with Shu'er, I'll go meet her for a while, I really want to see, what's the meaning of such pretentious tricks!"
It's not that she's a philistine, but in this world, a wife is more expensive than her husband, and if a female cultivator doesn't have extraordinary talent and fortune, most of them have to rely on her Taoist companions.
Of course, vice versa.
