The strongest warrior of the Great Qian Dynasty

Upon hearing Qianqian's words, Li Qingshan raised an eyebrow slightly, but immediately returned to his original state.

"Manager Li, it's been so long! I've missed you terribly!"

Today, Mr. Qin and Mr. Chen have come here to discuss a huge business deal with Manager Li!

"As long as this deal goes through, we brothers will live the high life from now on, no problem."

Qin Ligong grinned sheepishly, as if everything that had happened before had never existed.

As for Chen Liang, who was standing to the side, he was all smiles, as if he was trying to please someone.

"Oh?! You two still have good business. You're not going to continue selling counterfeit goods this time, are you? To be honest, I'm quite skilled at counterfeiting as well."

Li Qingshan had no intention of giving these two guys a pleasant look, so he simply laid the topic out on the table.

"this……"

Qin Ligong was stunned, but he never expected that Li Qingshan would be so disrespectful to him, considering that he was backed by Tianyi Pavilion.

Although Tianyi Pavilion appears to be similar to Shuiyun Pavilion in name only, it functions as a general store in Lin'an City.

But behind Tianyi Pavilion is the current Left Prime Minister, whose status is extremely noble. Even if we don't respect the monk, we should at least respect the Buddha. Here in Qingshan, we should at least hear what kind of business he is doing.

"Brother Li, I think you've misunderstood. As the saying goes, it's easier to resolve a feud than to create one, especially for us merchants, who compete in terms of insight and judgment."

"I truly have an excellent business opportunity today, otherwise I wouldn't have brought Chen Liang to discuss it with you!"

Qin Ligong tried to dissuade him again, his words surprisingly earnest, as if some great good thing was waiting for Li Qingshan.

"Alright, since you two are so sincere, let's just get straight to the point and clarify what kind of business we want to do."

Li Qingshan didn't want to waste his breath, after all, how could these two guys in front of him possibly be carrying anything good?

According to Qianqian's information, these two guys are very likely planning to pull her into a cult.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have both come to visit!

"Li Qingshan, don't be so sure of yourself. The business we're discussing with you today is about pills for breaking through to the True Qi Realm!"

This item is far too expensive; it's simply beyond the reach of our Tianyi Pavilion. Only by cooperating with us and leveraging the status of the Marquis's Mansion can we stand our ground.

After a flash of red light appeared in Qin Ligong's eyes, he shook the jade bottle inside his sleeve.

As the pills rolled around, Li Qingshan keenly detected a nauseating smell of blood.

This smell far surpasses the stench that emanated from the backyard last night; it's a kind of smell that evokes a primal, physiological aversion.

Dirty, foul-smelling, polluted!

However, he also sensed a captivating energy of flesh and blood within the elixir, though somewhat indistinct, it was still deeply moving.

"Well, Manager Li, are you now willing to let my brother and me enter and have a chat?"

Qin Ligong revealed a shrewd smile and said seductively.

In his eyes, no one could resist the temptation of the Blood Pill.

This is a peerless treasure that can increase a person's strength, transform their lifespan, and even bring about earth-shattering changes.

Even a cultivation technique worth tens of thousands of taels of silver cannot compare to the importance of a single Blood Pill!

Moreover, this Blood Pill was a reward from the Protector. If the Protector hadn't specifically requested that Li Qingshan join the Divine Cult, he wouldn't have given it up at all.

"In that case, let's go upstairs and talk!"

Li Qingshan revealed a businessman's expression, as if all the previous scheming had no effect on him.

However, Li Qingshan subtly twitched his fingers, giving Wu Ziming a hint.

To Qin Ligong and Chen Liang, none of this seemed unusual, since the scandals that Tianyi Pavilion had caused had not yet been completely covered up.

It's normal for Li Qingshan to be cautious.

"What a pity that such a treasure has to be handed over to Li Qingshan. If I could have intercepted it, I might have been able to break through to the True Qi Realm."

Qin Ligong, who was walking behind, greedily licked his lips, which were a little strained.

While Chen Liang next to him wore a smile on his face, he was already cursing inwardly.

"Damn it! Didn't Wang Biao say he had a way to get rid of Li Qingshan? Now I'm being forced to give up my share to this guy as well."

"If it weren't for that damned Wang Biao, I would have already contacted the assassins of Tianxia Pavilion to kill Li Qingshan. Why go through all this trouble?"

With their own thoughts, the three of them soon went upstairs and took their seats.

Wu Ziming then poured tea and water for them as needed, before closing the door and leaving.

"Manager Li, let's not beat around the bush. You can examine this pill yourself. As for the price, we can discuss it later!"

Qin Ligong generously placed the porcelain bottle on the table and casually said.

Li Qingshan nodded, and eagerly took the porcelain bottle in his hand, beginning to examine the pills inside.

Although Li Qingshan felt a little repulsed by what was inside, it was the first time he had ever seen something so bizarre.

Moreover, cults are something that are difficult to guard against. The information we can obtain today may be helpful in our future vigilance.

There weren't many pills in the porcelain bottle; upon closer inspection, there were only about three to five.

The overall color is a bewitching red, and you can vaguely see a dim red glow on the surface.

However, judging from the fishy smell permeating the air, Li Qingshan sensed that the pill did not seem to come from medicinal herbs, but rather from flesh and blood.

for a long time.

Li Qingshan reluctantly placed the porcelain bottle on the table and said with slight excitement.

"Manager Qin, I must say, this pill you brought out is quite extraordinary. Just one glance at it, and I felt an overwhelming urge to swallow it. It seems to be the same pill recorded in the ancient texts, and its grade is at least fourth-rank!"

"Haha! Manager Li's insight is indeed remarkable. This item was acquired by me by chance, and I wanted to auction it off, but unfortunately, the value of my Tianyi Pavilion is really too light."

Moreover, there are many more pills than just this many; if we cooperate, there will be even more!

Qin Ligong leaned closer and said with a mysterious expression.

Li Qingshan frowned, looking somewhat troubled, as if he had heard something he didn't want to accept. After a while, he asked.

"Doesn't this mean that even the Left Prime Minister can't back up this elixir, and it needs to rely on the Marquis's status?"

Qin Ligong's face jumped, and he was slightly stunned, but he didn't say anything.

Instead, Chen Liang, who was sitting to the side with his hands clasped together and a strange smile on his face, asked a question that made Li Qingshan's brows twitch.

"I wonder if Manager Li has ever heard of the 'Secret Scripture of Purification'?"
