"This is the inventory I have accumulated for a long time. If it were not for the weapon refining, I would not be willing to take it out!" Hou Jiuming said with a look of reluctance.
Although he had such an expression, the underlying meaning was that he was not that powerful, and these talismans were accumulated over time.
The reason for this explanation is just to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"Okay, I get it!" Ji Huan said perfunctorily with a smile on his face.
From that smile, Hou Jiuming saw a deep disbelief.
But he didn't explain anything more, he just stopped there. If he continued to explain, others would become more suspicious.
"According to the agreed price, a low-grade spirit stone costs three yuan per piece. Here are two hundred pieces, for a total of six hundred spirit stones. You give me one hundred, and the remaining five hundred will be paid to Master Shi as material fees."
"It's been prepared a long time ago!" When he got down to business, Ji Huan's face straightened. After responding to Hou Jiuming, he raised his hands to his face and said "papa~" twice.
This seemed to be some kind of specific signal. As soon as he finished taking the photo and took a few breaths, footsteps could be heard in the back hall.
After a while, I saw a woman who looked the same as the last three women walking out of the back hall holding a tray.
The lotus steps moved lightly, looking at the brilliance. Compared with the last three women, although this woman's appearance is not much different, her temperament gives people an impression of being indescribably noble.
Moreover, there are actually fluctuations in mana on her body.
"Fellow Daoist Hou, let me introduce to you. This is my sister-in-law Ji Lan.
Just like you, I am preparing to attend the Huating Sect’s disciple recruitment meeting in three months’ time. When the time comes, I hope fellow Taoist Hou will take care of me for my sake!”
During the introduction, Ji Huan showed deep love on his face, and it was clear from a glance that he was very fond of this sister.
After Hou Jiuming heard his introduction, although he did not use spiritual eyes to check it, his spiritual consciousness inadvertently revealed that his aura was not weak.
But this is not weak, but it has not reached the level of the later stages of Qi training.
At most, it is the peak of the middle stage of Qi training.
He guessed that the Huating Sect's standards for recruiting disciples should only be for casual cultivators, and there would be certain relaxations for dependent families like them.
Just like the Huating Orders that Wang Jinzhen and Li Donger earned, they can enter the Huating Sect without even testing.
Not only that, there is also an opportunity to become a disciple of the Jindanqi master.
These are all conveniences of being dependent on the family.
"Fellow Daoist Ji Lan, you are so polite!" Hou Jiuming stood up from his seat and bowed his hands politely. His attitude did not show any superiority because of what Ji Huan said.
After all, he comes from a family of cultivators. As a casual cultivator, even if his cultivation level is higher, he may not be able to impress others.
"I have long heard from my brother that Hou Daoyou is young and promising, and he is very talented. When I saw him today, he is indeed well-deserved." Putting the tray on the table, Ji Lan made a Wan Fu'an with a smile, and behaved calmly and generously.
She looks like a lady.
"Everything is just praise from fellow Daoist Ji. Miss Ji Lan, don't worry about it." Although Hou Jiuming is not very interested in this kind of commercial flattery, he still needs to have the attitude that a person carrying a sedan chair should have.
So, after being humble, he praised me.
"Miss Ji Lan is worthy of being a child of a noble family. She is not only stunning in appearance at such a young age, but also has such a level of cultivation. It is a sure thing that she will enter the Huating Sect."
Hou Jiuming rarely experienced such scenes, and he didn't know how to photograph horses, so the flattering words he spoke were inevitably a bit unfamiliar.
Fortunately, Ji Lan didn't pay much attention to this.
After just a few polite words, he sat aside obediently and watched Ji Huan and the two of them talk.
Because of Ji Lan's participation, the transaction that was supposed to be concluded quickly was postponed until noon.
When Hou Jiuming left Fangshi, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
"I won't participate if I can't participate in the future. It's too tiring!"
He really wasn't used to this kind of social occasion, and felt even more tired than fighting a tree demon.
…………
After Hou Jiuming left, Ji Huan and his sister were sitting there with no intention of leaving in Ji's grocery store.
After the atmosphere was silent for a while, Ji Hui was the first to speak.
"What do you think of him?" Ji Huan asked pointedly.
Ji Lan seemed to know the meaning of these words. After thinking silently for a while, he said, "She is calm, has a strong personality, is not good at socializing, and is at the seventh level of qi training. Among casual cultivators, she is pretty good.
But if you put it in the Huating Sect, it's not like you have too much prominence.
Moreover, the other party is more wary and does not trust people easily. If you want to make friends with them, the time you spend is not proportional to the rewards.
Rather than wasting time on him, it would be better to find another target."
Although she only had a brief look at Hou Jiu Ming, Ji Lan had a rough judgment based on her brother's previous conversations.
Today's meeting and conversation further confirmed the suspicion in my heart.
Therefore, she doesn't want to waste too much time on someone who is unlikely to achieve her goal.
Seeing his sister say this, Ji still wanted to say something, but thinking of his sister's character, he finally sighed and said no more.
"You can make your own decision, but if you can make good friends, make good friends. After all, many friends mean many paths!"
In fact, he is still very optimistic about Hou Jiuming.
Being able to achieve today's achievements as a casual cultivator is definitely not comparable to those who rely on their family to reach the later stage of Qi training.
After all, one has family resources and the other relies on his own efforts.
One is like a flower in a greenhouse, and the other has gone through hardships. To a certain extent, the two are not on the same level at all.
But his sister is more self-centered. Once she makes a decision, she rarely listens to other people's opinions, even as an older brother.
…………
Hou Jiuming naturally didn't know about the conversation between the two brothers and sisters of the Ji family.
However, even if he knew it, he wouldn't care.
Ji Lan doesn't like him?
Can he like Ji Lan?
Don't think too much, even if he is a descendant of the family, he doesn't even pay attention to direct descendants like Wang Qiongyan and Li Dong'er, let alone Ji Lan, who is obviously not a direct descendant.
Time flies, two days pass.
In the past two days, Hou Jiuming stayed in Fangshi all night, looking for purchases or inquiring about the cold jade in the water.
But the result is not ideal, this thing may be very precious, let alone not exist, even if it is not seen, it can be sold.
As for the news, let alone that.
If there was this news, others would have done it themselves, so why would they sell it?
Therefore, after two days, Hou Jiuming lost the patience to continue waiting for news.
Because there is no need to wait any longer.
He decided to go to Qianyu Kingdom to search for it himself.
