Chapter 40 Adding Money
Mrs. Xiao knows her little daughter’s temper very well and is worried about how to take her away.
The only person Xiao Zhiwan didn’t hide about her deal with Sun Tzu Jian was Mrs. Xiao.
When she first heard her eldest daughter say this, Mrs. Xiao slammed the table on the spot, furious, and accused Xiao Zhiwan of being confused.
She had known for a long time that Xiao Zhiwan and Qi Fengyuan were in love with each other. Fortunately, the two of them had always behaved themselves, so she turned a blind eye.
What I didn't expect was that Xiao Zhiwan would go so far for Qi Fengyuan, even risking her own life.
In fact, it is not difficult for the head of her family to obtain a third-level root-reinforcing pill.
But just because she is the head of the family, Mrs. Xiao herself has a lot of helplessness. She helped this time, but what about next time?
I helped this one, but what about the next one?
Once this kind of thing is started, it will keep popping up in the future. It will not be an exception again and again, and it will be an exception again and again for the sake of it.
Therefore, the best thing to do is not to use this excuse and maintain her consistent distinction between public and private matters.
Unable to persuade Xiao Zhiwan to look back, Mrs. Xiao could only acquiesce to this matter.
For this reason, she specifically asked Sun Zijian to question her.
Sun Zijian naturally promised that he would treat Xiao Zhiwan well and so on. She knew that she couldn't take it seriously, but there was nothing she could do about it.
Since the Xiao family suffered a disaster and the previous chief alchemist was killed, the entire alchemy hall has been in decline, leaving only Sun Tzu Jian who can refine third-level elixirs.
Although she knew that this person had bad character and bad style, Mrs. Xiao still asked him to take over as the chief alchemist and manage the entire alchemy hall.
When you are in a situation where no one is available, you don’t care about the quality of your character. Those who can do the best are good people.
A few days have passed since the incident, and Mrs. Xiao originally thought that the matter had been settled and that all parties had gotten what they wanted. From this aspect, it was not a bad thing.
Unexpectedly, after three days of silence, things still broke out.
Neither she nor Xiao Zhiwan expected that Qi Fengyuan would react so strongly and even come to the door, creating such a situation.
Although she didn't want to admit it, Mrs. Xiao had been waiting for Qi Fengyuan's reaction, wondering whether he would hide like a turtle to heal his wounds after learning about it, or turn into a beauty in anger.
As a result, she saw it, which was a bit unexpected, but seemed to be expected.
But no matter what, she can't get involved in this matter. If Qi Fengyuan wants to snatch Xiao Zhiwan away, he can only rely on himself. Even Xiao Zhiyan can't help him.
Seeing Mrs. Xiao's attitude, Sun Tzu Jian became even more emboldened. He showed his jagged teeth with black spots and yellow spots, and extended his hand to everyone in invitation:
"It's better to choose a day than to hit it. The eldest lady loves me. I am deeply honored. I will hold a wedding ceremony in the alchemy hall today. Everyone is welcome to witness it."
"Damn, you're so shameless!"
"I'll go, of course I will go to cheer you up and make trouble for you."
"Mrs. Xiao said so. It seems like this is it. The eldest lady will have two children within three years. She and Elder Sun may be able to produce a good child."
"The eldest lady would actually commit herself to him. Could it be that this guy has come up with something new recently?"
"..."
The crowd became active again. Qi Fengyuan listened silently, never taking his eyes away from Sun Zijian.
The key to breaking the situation lies with Sun Tzu Jian.
He has thought for a long time and has come up with a feasible plan. It depends on whether Sun Tzu Jian will accept it or not.
I saw him taking steps forward, approaching Sun Tzu Jian, and suggested:
"Elder Sun, here is the third-level foundation-reinforcing pill you refined. I can use it to redeem the eldest lady's freedom. How about that?"
Having said that, Qi Fengyuan took out the small box, spread it out in the palm of his hand and showed it, which was the third-level root-building pill.
Sun Tzu Jian sneered and refused directly: "The third-level elixir is certainly precious, but how can it compare with the friendship of the eldest lady? Madam Xiao just said that the eldest lady married me voluntarily. What do you mean?"
/p>
"You are looking for death! I..."
"Xiao Zhiyan, shut up and come back."
"Mom...I...you are so annoying!"
When Xiao Zhiyan heard Sun Tzu Jian say this, she had an attack on the spot, but before she could have the attack, she was suppressed by Mrs. Xiao.
She looked unconvinced and gritted her teeth. She hugged Xiao Zhiwan tightly, determined not to listen to anyone and would find an opportunity to escape later.
Qi Fengyuan was afraid that she would do something bad, so he gave her a calm look and said to Sun Tzu Jian:
"I mean, how about adding five hundred spirit stones?"
Now Sun Tzu Jian hesitated.
A third-level foundation-strengthening and Yuan-building pill, plus five hundred spirit stones, is not a small sum of money for any Qi-training monk, as you can tell by looking at the surprised expressions of the audience.
What surprised him even more was that Qi Feng had fully recovered from his injuries even before he took the Strengthening Pill and the Pill of Strengthening the Origin, and now he was generously asking for a price. Ruling out the possibility of talking nonsense, there was only one answer.
"This kid has an adventure and must be very lucky. I have to find a way to get it and make it my own, just like the eldest lady..."
Sun Tzu Jian was calculating in his mind, but pretending to be upright and awe-inspiring on his face, he refused again:
"Do you think you can take the eldest lady away like this? You are wishful thinking!"
"One thousand." Qi Fengyuan added more.
These two simple words immediately silenced the audience, and many people took a few breaths.
Even for an elder-level executive like Sun Tzu Jian, his annual salary is about three hundred spiritual stones, plus other gray income, the total is only about five hundred spiritual stones.
One thousand spirit stones is roughly the market value of the third-level foundation-reinforcing and cultivating essence elixir.
Qi Fengyuan said it was his two years' income, and now Sun Tzu Jian was really moved.
For those cultivators, cultivation is above all else, because it not only represents strength, but also determines the length of life.
If you want to improve your cultivation level, you have to consume resources. The higher your cultivation level, the greater the consumption. This is the law of cultivation that all immortal cultivators cannot escape.
With a thousand spiritual stones and a third-level spiritual elixir, if you are lucky, Sun Tzu Jian can break through the eighth level and enter the last level of the Qi training period.
If you have better luck and get a foundation-building pill, it is not impossible to build a foundation.
Once the foundation building is successful, he will be the number one master of the Xiao family. During the only foundation building period, even Mrs. Xiao will have to look up to him.
At that time, the entire Xiao family will not let him take whatever he wants?
At this point in the beautiful dream, Sun Tzu Jian's heart finally moved, and his eyes couldn't help but rest on Mrs. Xiao, mother and daughter.
No matter how good Xiao Zhiwan is, she is still a mortal woman and is far less important than her own cultivation. The only question now is, where did you Qi Fengyuan get so many spiritual stones?
As if seeing Sun Tzu Jian's doubts, Qi Fengyuan added:
"I don't have that much on hand at the moment, but I can pay it off in installments within three years. If you are worried, I can mortgage the iron ore mine in Liuxi Town."
