Douluo: Emerald Poison King

Chapter 54: Probing and Recruiting

Although a small accident happened, Qian Renxue had not stayed in the palace for nothing all these years. She quickly calmed down her emotions, as if nothing had happened.

A moment later, the staff of Qibaolou knocked on the door, brought a group of maids to deliver various cakes, fruits and drinks, and then left quickly. Everything seemed to have returned to normal.

Qian Renxue chuckled, picked up the wine glass on the table and raised it slightly towards Chen Ming, then took a sip. Seeing this, Chen Ming had no choice but to pick up the wine glass, smiled, and took a sip.

Chen Ming didn't expect that even in another world, the drinking culture of Gougou was still following him.

He really doesn't like drinking, not because he is not used to it or anything like that, but because he has seen many drunkards since he was a child, and he is afraid that he will also make mistakes after drinking, so he never touches this kind of thing unless it is necessary.

If something is accidentally exposed after drinking, it would be really Barbie Q.

Looking at Chen Ming's appearance, Qian Renxue smiled slightly.

"A few days ago, I heard that a genius who absorbed a thousand-year spirit ring as his second spirit ring was admitted to the Tiandou Royal Academy, so I became a little more curious. A few days ago, I also heard about the story between you and Dugu Yan, the granddaughter of Poison Douluo."

"Although I understand that most things in the world are just hearsay. It is an eternal truth that three people make a tiger. In fact, the matter may not be so exaggerated, or even may not have existed from the beginning. But I still can't help but feel a little curious."

"By the way." Having said that, Qian Renxue changed the subject.

"I wonder if Brother Chen Ming is satisfied with the gift I sent someone to deliver to him a few days ago?"

Qian Renxue's words were suggestive.

Rather than being a gift to Chen Ming, this thing is more like a life-saving straw handed to Chen Ming.

Although many Soul Douluos and even Titled Douluos had identified the remains of the 100,000-year-old soul beast over the past few hundred years and determined that the remains were of no great use, Snake Spear and Thorny Porpoise beside her also believed that it was just a defective product.

However, for a poison-attribute soul master, a piece of debris left from a hundred thousand year old soul beast is still extremely valuable.

Maybe it can't be used directly, but if you can use your own abilities to infer some of the characteristics of a hundred thousand year old poisonous soul beast, it will be a huge benefit. Maybe it can also significantly improve your soul power.

Qian Renxue gave this thing not only to Chen Ming, but also to Dugu Bo.

She heard about Dugu Yan and Chen Ming, and she was sure that Dugu Bo would not kill Chen Ming easily, but he might not accept Chen Ming as his grandson-in-law. So she sent someone to deliver this treasure, which had special meaning to the poison attribute soul master.

In her opinion, if Chen Ming is smart and gives this treasure to Dugu Bo, then Dugu Bo will be able to save her face.

Even if Dugu Bo disliked Chen Ming, he probably wouldn't kill him for this treasure. As long as Chen Ming wasn't a fool, he would understand what he meant and would naturally join his side.

If Dugu Bo had always been optimistic about Chen Ming, this treasure would naturally be a favor to Chen Ming, so that he could have a place in front of Dugu Bo.

If Dugu Bo accepts Chen Ming as his disciple or as his grandson-in-law in the future, he will still have a great favor with Chen Ming, which will also help his plan to usurp the country in the future.

As for the fact that Chen Ming could satisfy Dugu Bo without using this treasure...that would be even better for Qian Renxue.

Recruiting a smart and talented person is much more valuable than recruiting a mere genius.

Anyway, this thing came from the royal treasury of the Tiandou Empire, and she didn't pay for it out of her own pocket. And unlike other precious items, this wreckage has been gathering dust for more than a hundred years. Not only did she, the fake prince, not feel bad about giving it away, even Xue Ye didn't feel bad when she knew about it.

It was not until she sent someone to deliver this thing to Chen Ming that Xue Ye remembered that there was such a stone in her royal treasury.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. I am naturally very satisfied."

Chen Ming couldn't guess all of Qian Renxue's meaning, but he vaguely understood some of what Qian Renxue meant, so he couldn't help but bow to Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue is such a good person!
This is a real rich woman!
Chen Ming originally thought that the opportunity he could get in Tiandou City was just a Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire. It was doubtful whether he could get the Vast Sea Universe Cover. But Qian Renxue unexpectedly gave him a great gift.

This dragon pill is a real treasure. Even though its properties have been washed away, its characteristics are still very valuable. Its value even exceeds that of a single fairy grass.

If inheritance to future generations is taken into consideration, the value could be even higher, and perhaps a family or sect that could last for ten thousand years could be established.

This is no longer a boy who brings wealth, this is the God of Wealth! The living God of Wealth!
The two smiled at each other, each knowing that the other understood.

In the following time, Qian Renxue simply chatted with Chen Ming, and occasionally asked Chen Ming about various issues in a roundabout way.

For example, what is the environment of Biluo City like? Are there many poisonous creatures? What is the inheritance of Chen Ming's family like? How does it feel to enter Tiandou Royal Academy? How much effort did you put in to absorb the second thousand-year soul ring?

Qian Renxue mostly talked nonsense, but occasionally asked a few sharp questions, but they were all resolved by Chen Ming's skillful words. Although it was not perfect, it did not reveal any information that could not be known by others.

Because of this, Qian Renxue admired Chen Ming even more.

He is talented and smart. He can serve as a role model for his subordinates in the future and can play a significant role in the Tiandou Empire.

So at this point, Qian Renxue's next topic couldn't help but have a hint of recruiting.

Faced with the solicitation of the God of Wealth, Chen Ming neither refused nor objected. He just expressed that he was troubled by the rumors in the academy and could not make a decision for the time being, but he did have a good impression of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

After knowing this, Qian Renxue was no longer in a hurry. She called the steward of Qibao Tower and asked him to serve the prepared dishes now and bring a few more jugs of good wine, wanting to have a good drink with Chen Ming.

How can Chen Ming not drink this?

He wanted to not drink, but could he not drink?

During the banquet, Qian Renxue, in the identity of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, began to talk to Chen Ming about the Tiandou Empire, and vaguely asked Chen Ming about his attitude towards the Spirit Hall.

Chen Ming was somewhat vague about this question. He did not show too much bias towards the Spirit Hall or the Heaven Dou Empire, but instead made a rational judgment.

It only means that the Spirit Hall is the holy land of spirit masters in the world. The inheritance left by the legendary angel god is incomparable to the countries on the mainland. Nowadays, the Tiandou Empire can maintain peace with the Xingluo Empire largely relying on the secret assistance of the Spirit Hall.

According to Chen Ming, if the Tiandou Empire wants to survive in the future, it will need more help from the Spirit Hall. However, as a country, the Tiandou Empire is not a vassal of the Spirit Hall. While getting close to the Spirit Hall, it needs to keep a distance and have its own room for maneuver.
