Chapter 17
Hearing Ling Duoqing's words, the concierge from Mi Family glared at Ling Duoqing fiercely.
Although there was a look of displeasure on his face, he still turned around to report back. 𝗳r𝗲𝙚w𝐞𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵ𝗲l.𝑐om
Ling Duoqing didn't care about the results, but waited quietly at the door. After seven or eight minutes, the concierge opened the door and snappily said to Ling Duoqing: "Come in! The young miss has agreed to meet you! "
"Eldest Miss? Where's your Patriarch? " Ling Duoqing asked.
"Our Patriarch is very busy. He doesn't have time to see you. Being able to meet our young miss is already a blessing in disguise! " The doorman said fiercely.
He actually dared to say such a thing in front of the Mi Family s gate.
However, he was only a gatekeeper. Since the eldest young miss had agreed, he could only spread the word.
Under the guidance of the gatekeeper, Ling Duoqing met the so called great miss Mi Family.
"I'm called Mi Lai, come and go!" The young miss of Mi Family waved her hand to indicate the gatekeeper to leave, and at the same time smiled as she invited Ling Duoqing to sit, "Last time, when I sent little brother to the Phoenix Academy Assessment, I saw Mr Ling. I wonder what business does Mr Ling have at my place today? "
Mi Lai went straight to the point and didn't bother to chat with Ling Duoqing.
Ling Duoqing also said directly, "I'm here to look for your dad, can you make the decision?"
"You don't need to trouble my father with ordinary matters! Furthermore, my father is indeed not in the Phoenix City right now. " Mi Lai laughed. If Mr Ling has something to talk about, he can tell me first. Then, I'll decide whether or not I'll ask my dad to come forward! "
Ling Duoqing shook his head: "That's troublesome! Alright, I'll give you a chance! If you cooperate with me, your Mi Family will be known by the entire world! "
Mi Lai laughed: "We already know about Mr Ling and Zhen Family. Actually, Zhen Family also sent a message to us, telling us to refuse cooperating with Mr Ling and to give us some benefits at the same time.
The benefits of Zhen Family, will allow our Mi Family's strength to increase in the next ten years … More than thirty percent, this is an extremely important matter to our Mi Family. Since Mr Ling said he wanted to cooperate with us, what can Mr Ling possibly bring to our Mi Family? "
Ling Duoqing stretched out three fingers and lightly said to Mi Lai, "If you cooperate with me, there are three benefits! Firstly, Mi Family will become the largest merchant guild; secondly, someone will have the chance to receive my personal guidance on Mi Family; and thirdly, Mi Family can use my name to frighten people! "
Mi Lai listened to Ling Duoqing's words. She looked at Ling Duoqing's three fingers that were bent up and her mouth grew bigger and bigger. Finally, her chin almost fell off.
What and what?
You, Ling Duoqing, are just an impoverished aristocrat with a small Phoenix City. On what basis do you think you can make my family the largest merchant guild in Tianyuan Continent? Besides, you only started cultivating when you were twenty-five, what's so amazing about that? Our Mi Family needs your guidance?
Also, do you have any impressive title, Ling Duoqing?
Mi Lai was stu
ed for a long time before she shook her head and laughed helplessly: "Mr Ling, anyone can brag big words, but our Mi Family still hopes to see the actual answer! Do you have any way to prove your ability? Or do you have anything that can prove your ability? After all, if we help you, we'll lose the benefit of our Zhen Family and become enemies with them! "
Ling Duoqing frowned. He glanced at Mi Lai and said, "You are at the 3rd level of Qi Condensation. If I want to kill you, I can do it with a flick of my finger!"
Mi Lai did not think that it was unfair, and shook her head: "I have already seen Mr Ling's ability to fight those above my level last time at Phoenix Academy, so I naturally believe that Mr Ling might have the ability to defeat me. However, as a woman, fighting is never my strong point. Furthermore, I am only a tiny Qi-cohering Stage, and in terms of Tianyuan Continent, I am nothing at all. Mr Ling's strength is naturally insufficient to prove it. "
Ling Duoqing's frown deepened as he said lightly: "I can let you cultivate to the tenth level of Qi Condensation in one month, cultivate to the Sea-accumulating Stage in half a year, and break through to the Star Light in ten years!"
He was already feeling a little unhappy.
He came to find Mi Family because Mi Family had the ability to help him even more, and he came to find Zhen Family even faster to let out a breath. Or else, would he have such patience to look for Mi Family?
Through their relationship, Zhen Family had expelled all his children, so he had remembered this matter very clearly. Since this was a matter of the Chamber of Commerce, then let's settle the two matters together.
Only, he did not expect that the Mi Family would actually want to bargain with him, and would actually want him to prove anything.
Hearing Ling Duoqing's words, Mi Lai was stu
ed.
Ling Duoqing actually dared to say that she could cultivate to the tenth level of Qi Condensation in one month, and break through to the Sea-accumulating Stage in half a year? Was this a joke?
Furthermore, she had never thought of breaking through Star Light in her entire life, and Ling Duoqing actually dared to say that she could do so?
Could this be another boast of Ling Duoqing?
But what if it was true?
Mi Lai pondered for a while, then slowly raised her head, looked at Ling Duoqing and said seriously, "You don't need to give me pointers for now! However, after the new year, our Mi Family will hold a grand auction in the Imperial City, which will use this to raise our reputation and let the entire continent know of our name. If you can help us hold this auction successfully, then I can represent my father and agree to work together with you! "
"There are still a few more months until the new year, it's too long!" Ling Duoqing looked a little pleased, "I need some money now, and I also need to buy some things."
Mi Lai said slowly, "How much do you need?"
"Countless!" Ling Duoqing glanced at Mi Lai, "Since your Mi Family has the intention to cooperate, then follow my request and provide me the materials I need. anything that I refine, I can give you thirty percent of it. As for money, you can just give it to me, but it's best if you don't lie to me. "
"You can refine things?" Mi Lai seized on the key issue.
"What do you think?" Ling Duoqing asked.
"Can I refine pills?" Mi Lai asked, "When breaking through Sea-accumulating Stage, you need a type of Qi Gathering Pill, can you refine it?"
Ling Duoqing shook his head.
He had never needed a Qi Gathering Pill, so he naturally wouldn't study it. He didn't even know the formula for the Qi Gathering Pill, so how was he supposed to concoct it?
"What about the Qi Nurturing Pill?" Mi Lai asked again, "As the most important pill for Qi-refining Stage and cultivation, you should know how to refine Qi Nurturing Pills, right?"
Ling Duoqing shook his head again. It was too low grade, he didn't know the recipe!
Mi Lai said with a hint of insanity, "You said that you can refine things that can't even be refined with this kind of low-grade pill, then what can you refine?"
Could it be that those big words from before were meant to amuse her?
Ling Duoqing said indifferently: "When Sea-accumulating Stage breaks through the Star Light realm, it requires a type of Star-cohering Pill, I can refine that! If you want me to forge a Qi Gathering Pill and a Qi Nurturing Pill, I will of course concoct the pill formula with you! "
This was already the lowest grade of pills he could find. It was really too low grade. He didn't even bother looking at it!
Mi Lai almost fell to the ground, she panted and asked: "Didn't Star-cohering Pill need a master level alchemist to refine it? Are you a grandmaster apothecary? "
"Master? I learned it when I was raising pets! " Ling Duoqing said casually.
