The figure sitting opposite the man is Liu Qingyan, the painter who was not selected and left the Lin Mansion.

At this moment, Liu Qingyan lowered his head, feeling embarrassed.

After hearing the man's words, he hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand, and grabbed the tea cup tremblingly. The tea in the cup almost spilled out, and as soon as it reached his mouth, the man spoke again.

"You took my five Yuanling Tongbao and said that you would be successfully selected by the Lin Mansion to paint for the Lin Mansion's young masters. But now... the one chosen is that young man, but you still have the face to stand in front of me.

Have tea?”

The man drank the tea in the cup, seeming to be amused and indifferent.

Liu Qingyan pouted and froze in his movements. It was neither a cup of tea nor a cup of tea.

Putting down the tea cup, Liu Qingyan said helplessly: "I can't help it..."

"If you were painting normally, you would be able to win easily with Lao Chen's skills that he has been immersed in for decades. However, the young man's unorthodox painting method just happened to hit Mrs. Hua's weakness and was chosen. Lao Chen... was also depressed.

ah."

"I don't listen to these, I only look at the results." The man said: "Now, I will give you two choices. One, you took five Yuanling Tongbao from me, but failed to accomplish anything. Now I still have five hundred.

"

Liu Qingyan trembled when he heard this: "How can I take out five hundred Yuan Ling Tong Bao?!"

The man finished drinking the tea, put the cup on the table, and shook his head: "What does it matter to me whether you can take it or not? It was agreed at the beginning that you would use the money to do things, and everyone would be happy if it didn't work. If you don't, I would pay you back double the amount.

"

"This is not double, this is a hundred times!" Liu Qingyan looked as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit.

"I'm just doing things for others. This Yuan Ling Tong Bao comes from the young master of Qin Mansion... Do you dare to rely on it? Show it to me?"

The man said calmly.

When Liu Qingyan heard this, fear spread all over his body. For some reason, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The Qin Mansion is the residence of the Prime Minister of Great Zhao, and no one in Lin'an knows it.

Liu Qingyan has also heard of the name of the Young Master of the Qin Mansion for a long time. He is an unattainable existence!

Since it is unattainable, it is naturally something that cannot be offended.

"Qin... Young Master Qin... how..." Liu Qingyan was so shocked that he could not speak clearly.

He may dare to set up some records in the Lin Mansion, because the Lin Mansion has been loyal for generations and is known to be easy to talk to, but in front of the Qin Mansion, he does not dare to act recklessly, especially the Young Master Qin, who is known to everyone in Lin'an Mansion.

He is moody and moody.

"There are many things of great importance that you don't need to know."

"The second option does not require you to pay back, but it requires your efforts."

The man tapped his fingers on the table, and the clear sound echoed around the carriage, making Liu Qingyan even more nervous.

"You said that if I can do it, I will definitely do it with all my strength!" Liu Qingyan said quickly.

"You have a monopoly on the painting business of the girls in the flower boat, and you are making a lot of money. I also know that you have hired a lot of thugs just to deal with some painters who threaten your business."

"so……"

"Because you were not selected by the Lin Mansion, you were jealous and resentful, so you sent thugs to break the young painter's hands so that he could not paint."

The sound of fingertips colliding with the table suddenly stopped.

The man looked at Liu Qingyan and said calmly, without any ripples in his voice.

It seemed that breaking the boy's hands was as common as breaking two dead branches.

When Liu Qingyan heard this, he let out a long breath like a loose balloon.

…

…

Walking peacefully on the busy streets, I feel quite happy. After all, I have gained a lot from this trip.

Back at the inn, the waiter looked slightly surprised when he saw An Le. After all, few people who were taken away by the black police officers returned intact.

"Mr. An, are you okay?"

The waiter came over and asked.

Anle smiled: "What can I do if I sit upright? Prepare some good food and wine and bring them to my room."

"Okay!" The waiter's face was full of enthusiasm.

Back in the room, the inn room was not big, and even a bit cramped. After all, the money he earned from selling paintings was not enough for him to rent a good and spacious room.

This is Lin'an, every inch of land is worth every inch of gold.

Sitting on the chair, he poured himself a glass of cold water and drank it all in one gulp. Anle first took out the money bag given by Mrs. Hua, which contained ten Yuan Ling Tong Bao as a deposit.

Take one out and place it in the palm of your hand. The Yuan Ling Tong Bao is not big and looks a bit like a copper coin, but it has a color like glass. After entering meditation, you can even feel the spiritual energy contained in the Tong Bao.

There was a Tongbao inside. Anle looked at it carefully. It was rumored that the Yuanling Tongbao contained a special magic circle. Each Tongbao was marked with its sequence and origin, making it difficult to imitate.

Ten yuanlingtongbao, worth three thousand taels, getting rich in one day means peace and happiness.

The Lin family is worthy of being a family of martial generals, and is indeed extremely wealthy.

However, the higher the price, the more it shows that Mrs. Hua attaches great importance to this painting, and Anle will not dare to be careless in subsequent paintings.

Putting away the money bag, Anle took out two volumes of spiritual practice books.

His eyes fell on the "Five Birds Body Strengthening Technique". This bodybuilding method was not as good as the "Sword Waterfall Picture" in terms of quality, but it was still quite advanced.

Anle was able to obtain such a method all because of Mrs. Hua's favor. A painting won people's hearts and she was willing to pay thousands of gold in exchange for it.

Anle did not immediately read "Five Animals Exercise", but closed his eyes, entered into concentration, and consolidated his mind.

Once you reach the realm of spiritual refining and enter concentration, Anle's soul seems to be stronger, your whole person's mood is stable, there seems to be endless energy, and your mind is much clearer.

No wonder, it is difficult for non-practitioners to be among the first-level Jinshi. In comparison, practitioners practice spirituality and have excellent spirits. Their brains work faster, they can read more easily, and they are more competitive than non-practitioners.

After entering samadhi, visualize the sword waterfall picture. There is only one sword on the first page, but it seems to be floating in the sea of ​​​​mind.

Visualize a sword across the sea of ​​​​mind to strengthen your mind and strive to enter the second realm of god refining.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

Anle slowly opened her eyes, and there seemed to be a sharp flash of sword light in her eyes, which was the afterglow after the visualization.

When I opened the door, it was the waiter delivering food.

Four good dishes, wine and meat.

The waiter in the shop took the case with a smile on his face: "Mr. An, this meal money..."

Anle took out a Yuanling Tongbao and handed it to him: "Exchange this Yuanling Tongbao into silver coins, and the meal money will be deducted from it."

Yuan Ling Tong Bao?!

The waiter was stunned, looking at the glass-shaped treasure, and took a breath.

One Tongbao can be exchanged for three hundred silver taels!

What did the guest officer in front of me do?

Yesterday I could barely afford the rent. I didn’t expect to take out a Yuan Ling Tong Bao today. Why did I sell it?

Is it related to the black yamen arresting the head?

The shop waiter's heart moved, and he suddenly became awed. He took the Yuan Ling Tong Bao respectfully, left quickly, and hurriedly went to the store to exchange silver coins.

An Le closed the door, started drinking and eating, and practiced martial arts. What he was training was his body. Naturally, he had to eat and drink enough to be strong.

Just as the food and wine were finished, the door was knocked again. Anle opened the door and saw the innkeeper appearing with the waiter.

"Mr. An, this is the money you exchanged for your Yuan Ling Tong Bao." The shopkeeper was broad-minded and fat, with a smile on his face, but he handed the money to An Le respectfully.

An Le smiled and took it: "Sorry, shopkeeper."

"Mr. An, if you need anything next, just ask." The shopkeeper was very polite. These days, those who can produce Yuan Ling Tong Bao are all high-ranking officials.

Anle smiled and nodded, and the shopkeeper asked the waiter to put away the dishes, close the door and leave respectfully.

Back in the room, Anle's mood was calm. Money can boost courage and confidence, no matter in which world.

After confirming that no one would disturb me, I took out the "Five Animals Body Building Exercise".

Anle let out a breath, his eyes were shining, and with a bit of expectation for martial arts, he slowly opened the book.
