Druid in the Xianxia world

Chapter 98 Bad Woman, Feng Yingying

Once his plan is completed, Zhong Cang will be able to obtain the combat power of the first level of Dao Foundation.

However, by doing this, Zhong Cang became more powerful, but it also cost him a lot of money.

The five major spiritual trees, plus some auxiliary materials used to refine them, directly emptied the spiritual stones in Zhong Cang's hands.

He even owed Youyun Chamber of Commerce a large sum of money.

Yaxin: "I have discussed this with Aunt Yun, and she is also willing to befriend you, Brother Cang. Therefore, she lent us a lot of spirit stones and sold us a lot of spirit materials at a low price. But Brother Cang, you already owe Youyun Chamber of Commerce too much. If you continue to borrow..."

Yaxin didn't say the rest, but Zhong Cang understood that he couldn't borrow any more money, otherwise he would be in danger of being tied to the Youyun Chamber of Commerce.

"Thanks a lot."

While comforting Yaxin and saying that it was not her fault and that she had made a contribution, Zhong Cang was thinking about whether to suspend the refining of his magic weapon or continue to make money.

"I can't pause... It's a spiritual tree, a tree man, and a magical weapon. This trinity will not only enhance my combat power, but will also be of great benefit to my cultivation."

Thinking that the five magic weapons could form a five-element spirit gathering array, and that while refining the magic weapons, he could also deepen his understanding of Taoism, battle formations, and even the law of the five elements, Zhong Cang immediately decided that he must not stop practicing the magic weapons.

"Since we can't cut costs, we have to increase revenue..."

Just when Zhong Cang was thinking about how to increase his income and earn spirit stones, the sound of wind chimes suddenly rang out in the secret garden.

Hearing this voice, Zhong Cang understood that someone was asking to see him outside the secret garden.

With a raised eyebrow, Zhong Cang finally decided to go and meet him.

Then, he saw a petite girl as light as the wind, looking around with a smile on her face.

Next to her, Qi Wei was staring at her angrily.

"What, do you know each other?"

Because Qi Wei's father helped him a lot, Zhong Cang was very grateful to her. When he found her confronting someone, the first person Zhong Cang asked was naturally her.

As for Qi Wei, she smiled when she saw Zhong Cang, but soon she fixed her eyes on the unknown girl again and said with a vigilant look on her face:
"Mr. Zhong Cang, please be careful. This is a member of the Feng family. I've inquired about it, and it was this family that opposed you before. Don't trust her."

"Hehe..." Qi Wei's words made Feng Yingying laugh: "Qi Wei, you got one thing wrong. People's status and attitudes will change. Times have changed. Before, Zhong Cang came from a poor family, so we naturally suppressed him. But now it's different. He also has a family background and is one of us. Naturally, we have a basis for cooperation."

After she finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Zhong Cang and said, "Mr. Zhong, our Feng family's proposal is that you abandon the other people in the Snow Lake Taoist Academy and cooperate with our Feng family and other families to grow spiritual crops... In this way, we will completely accept you as one of us."

"Haha." Feng Yingying's words made Zhong Cang sneer: "Abandoning Teacher Mo and the others... You Feng family still don't take me seriously and treat me like an idiot. If I give up Teacher Mo today, will you come to ask for grain seeds tomorrow?"

"Will not……"

Zhong Cang: "That means you give up in the morning and come back to claim it in the afternoon."

Feng Yingying: "Our Feng family is very trustworthy."

Zhong Cang: "So, the ones who came to ask for grain are Feng's vassal families. It has nothing to do with you. You can't persuade them, right?"

"..." Zhong Cang's words made Feng Yingying shake her head and laugh. "Mr. Zhong Cang, you have a rather negative view of the aristocratic families." At this point, she suddenly smiled and said, "Although your views are quite correct, the aristocratic families are mostly greedy. They won't leave a single copper coin if they can earn it. Mr. Zhong Cang, if you abandon Teacher Mo Shuyu, they will indeed eat you up and kill you when there is no one to protect you."

"However, you have been opposing the aristocratic families, and the risks are very high. Snow Lake City's interests are limited. They will not watch you grow stronger and become a new aristocratic family. So, facing the full-scale suppression of the aristocratic families, Mr. Zhong Cang, what are you going to do?"

Before Zhong Cang could answer Feng Yingying's question, a cold and elegant voice rang out from a distance:
“There was no all-out effort, nor was there an all-out suppression.”

The familiar voice made Zhong Cang look over in surprise, and then, as expected, he saw the gentle and elegant Shuang Lingxue walking towards him from a distance.

Shuang Lingxue was also very happy to see Zhong Cang, but she suppressed the joy in her heart, smiled at Zhong Cang, and then she turned her gaze to Feng Yingying.

"Your Feng family cannot represent the aristocratic families of Snow Lake City, let alone our Xue family. We have already decided to cooperate with Mr. Zhong Cang. The all-out suppression you talked about never existed from the beginning."

Frost Lingxue's arrival and her words made Feng Yingying sigh in distress. "Ah, I knew it. Those old guys in the clan are all dead-headed. Threatening, forcing, and then taking people in like dogs. This set of methods works for ordinary people who are lucky, but it's useless for true geniuses. It only makes our Feng family more enemies."

After sighing, Feng Yingying raised her hands, pretending to be pitiful, and looked at Zhong Cang eagerly and said, "Mr. Zhong Cang, I surrender. Do you think I can join you?"

"Hmph, you wicked fellow, surrender! You're kidding! Do you think anyone here will believe you..."

When she heard the other party say surrender, Qi Wei was the most furious. Without any hesitation, she wanted to refuse.

However, just as she was about to refuse, Shuang Lingxue spoke, and her words stunned Qi Wei: "If sister is willing to join us, we are of course willing."

"Ugh?"

The one who expressed doubts was Feng Yingying. She didn't expect that Shuang Lingxue was actually willing.

As for Qi Wei, she was even more angry:
"Shuang Lingxue, are you crazy? How could she surrender and come to us? She is a traitor and an undercover agent."

Ignoring Qi Wei's angry words, Shuang Lingxue simply spoke to the stunned Feng Yingying awkwardly, "I do believe in you, my sister. Mr. Zhong Cang is a famous scholar and a gentleman, and he is willing to believe in you. However, there are other people in Mr. Zhong Cang's team who are unwilling to believe you. If you really want to join, you need to do something for us to gain their trust."

"A certificate of nomination?"

"..."

In response to Feng Yingying's question, Shuang Lingxue did not say anything, but just smiled. However, her silence also showed her attitude.

This also made Feng Yingying laugh: "Hehe, interesting, I really believe now that you can succeed, what do you want in the name of surrender?"

Hearing this, Shuang Lingxue did not answer, but turned her gaze to Zhong Cang.

After understanding her meaning, Zhong Cang hesitated for a moment, then said bluntly: "I want a spiritual plant, a wind-type spiritual plant, the higher the grade, the better."

"Spiritual plants? I understand. I will try my best to find them for you, Mr. Zhong Cang."

After discussing with Zhong Cang, Feng Yingying left.

As soon as she left, Qi Wei couldn't help but speak to Shuang Lingxue: "What on earth were you thinking? Why did you let that bad woman join in?"
