Xuanjing City, Tingzhu Garden.

Located in the south corner of the city, few people know what Tingzhu Garden is for.

This place is not open to the public, nor is it open to outsiders, and outsiders are not allowed to pry.

In this small area of ​​bamboo forest in the city, there is a small and exquisite bamboo building.

The small building is green and has two floors, with guards around it.

At this time, on the second floor of the small building, emerging wealthy businessmen from the city gathered together to participate in the Purple Bamboo Party held by Tianyinmen.

Tianyin Sect, as the largest sect force in the area, holds this Purple Bamboo Meeting with the purpose of selecting cooperation partners for the inner court disciples in its own other court.

As the current host of Zizhuhui, Zhao Wanzhu is not the strongest, but she is the most suitable for interpersonal communication.

She was standing in the small hall on the second floor, on a slightly raised platform, smiling at the merchants who came to attend the meeting.

"This time, all the candidates for the Purple Bamboo Society have been selected. There are eight people in the Nine Branch Courts. I have placed the wooden plaques of the eight inner court masters in front of you.

If you select a certain master, please give the corresponding wooden sign to the waiter responsible for collecting it."

There were not only emerging businessmen present, but also newly emerging gang leaders.

All of them have one thing in common, that is, the lack of strong masters to take charge.

This kind of gathering is usually organized by the inner court disciples themselves, because the style and level are not very high.

There were a total of about ten sponsors present, and three of them stood out the most.

Zhao Kun, the leader of Lieyu Gang, the master of Qianyufangfang, and Jinhe, the owner of Jinshi Pavilion.

Zhao Wanzhu's main attention was also focused on these three people.

"The information of the eight new entrants to the Nine Branches in the past few months has been completed and confirmed to be fine. They are guaranteed by the corresponding branch of Tianyin Sect. You can check the information and then place your bets.

After that, I will bring your information and give it to the corresponding colleagues, who will decide whether to cooperate with the dealer."

"I've said this so many times. Everyone who comes here will understand. Sister Zhao doesn't need to say more." Someone laughed.

"Okay, then I won't be in the way here. Please."

Zhao Wanzhu smiled slightly.

There are eight disciples and eight wooden tablets in each hand.

Soon, the people with the greatest potential in each courtyard were voted in by people they already knew.

Then there are the ones with the next highest potential, which are competed by the gangs of wealthy merchants at the same level.

Lin Xiaoxiao stood in the corner, holding a wooden sign in his hand, his beautiful eyes a little confused.

It was her first time to attend the Zizhu Association. Since her father passed away due to illness, Rushuifang's family has been in trouble.

Some rival merchants who compete maliciously hire gangsters to disrupt their stores, resulting in continuous losses in recent months.

She had no choice but to find out about Zizhuhui through the introduction of her best friend, so she came here with her last hope.

The strength of Rushuifang is not the strongest in the entire Xuanjing City, it can only be considered average.

But its strongest point is that the fragrance powder, gouache and clothes it produces have a fixed group of buyers who are very loyal.

According to Lin Xiaoxiao's family tradition, they keep a special exotic beast called the fragrant fly. It is a special insect and exotic beast that can produce an extremely special fragrant liquid.

It is because of this that the Rushuifang run by the Lin family can stand firm in Xuanjing City and enjoy an excellent reputation.

It is also because of this that Ru Shuifang's financial resources are not known to outsiders. They are inconspicuous and have not been noticed by Zhao Wanzhu.

At this time, Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the eight wooden plaques in his hand. Then he looked at the counting of the wooden plaques lightly scratched with charcoal on the white wooden board in front of him.

Who have the most potential among them? There are already several contenders under their names.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't plan to compete with those companies with the strongest financial resources? Her eyes scanned the small words recorded on each wooden sign.

"Xiaoxiao? Which one did you choose?" her best friend Wen Lian asked softly.

"In my opinion? You can definitely compete with the strongest ones for Lin Zhao of the Huaqi Villa? Lin Zhao entered the third level of blood at the age of seventeen? He is extremely talented and highly valued by the teachers. If he can be invited to come forward,

Even if the actual combat is average, the background can block a lot of trouble." Wen Lian suggested.

She knew the financial resources of her best friend Ru Shuifang. This chain store seemed ordinary, but the wealth accumulated over the years was quite strong. Although it was not as good as some of the richest people in the city, it was considered top-notch in this small place.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't like to talk much and just shook his head slightly.

Although Lin Zhao is good, he is not suitable for her current situation.

She went through each sign carefully, looking at the information, origin, family background, potential, etc. of these eight people.

Soon, most of the others were chosen, with eight names and different counts.

The one with the most is Lin Zhao, with five companies competing under his name.

At least three of them didn’t have a single brand.

These three people either have bad records or their potential is too low.

Lin Xiaoxiao read the information carefully and had a decision in her eyes. She stood up and handed a wooden sign in her hand to the maid beside her.

That wooden sign was surprisingly one of the three people who were not chosen at the end, that is, Wei He's sign.

At this time, there were also people left, and they chose another person from the last three to vote.

The count is over.

"Xiaoxiao, are you crazy?!" Our best friend Wen Lian said in shock, "The person you chose has insufficient potential. If he is stuck at three blood levels in the future, he will suffer a big loss!

This is a contract hosted by Tianyinmen. Once signed, you cannot go back on it. Do you know how much it costs per month to provide a third blood?"

"I know." Lin Xiaoxiao nodded.

"Then you know that and you choose randomly!?"

"I didn't choose randomly." Lin Xiaoxiao answered seriously, "Rushuifang needs him."

"With your financial resources, you can compete with the best ones. Is it necessary to choose a bad bet?" Wen Lian couldn't understand.

"I know."

"You will regret it. This is not a matter of one or two days. Providing an inner courtyard requires signing a contract for at least three years. How many golden tickets will we get after three years?" Wen Lian was speechless.

"I see."

Wen Lian was still chirping at the side, but Lin Xiaoxiao was unmoved. No one could change what she had decided.

At most she could explain a little bit, but after just a few words, she was interrupted by her best friend.

She is not good at words, so that's all she can say.

What she valued about Wei He was that he took his sister from Yunzhou to Taizhou, and that he dared to take over the government patrol mission of Xuanjing City alone.

From these two details, it can be judged that this person may not have great potential, but he is definitely very strong in actual combat.

Others don't know, but she knows very well what the journey from Yunzhou to Taizhou is.

It can be said that if a wealthy and knowledgeable businessman were present, he would never look down upon Wei He.

But now, what Rushui Fang needs is a warrior who is strong enough in actual combat. After all, she has not offended the big shot, and her business does not intend to continue to expand. Just maintain the status quo.

As for the other people in the competition, although their potential is strong, their temperament is probably not as good as that of Wei He.

The fact that this man was able to take his sister from Yunzhou to Taizhou without leaving her shows how important his friendship is.

Sometimes, character is more important than potential.

Lin Xiaoxiao raised her head seriously and looked at the counting board in front of her. Under Wei He's name, a horizontal line slowly appeared.

Her best friend Wen Lian was helplessly interrupted at the side. When it was her turn, she chose another inner court man named Song Zheng to compete. At this time, she had already started bidding with others.

As for Wei He, no one competed with Lin Xiaoxiao, so he passed this level directly. Just wait and see if Wei He agrees.

"Rushuifang Lin Xiaoxiao?"

Wei He looked at the sponsor's name and information he just got in his hand.

Unexpectedly, it was a woman who chose him.

Speaking of it, he couldn't help but recall the outgoing Guan Ming. The Guan family gave him a lot of care at that time, and he still has endless recollections of the last jar of wild animal meat.

That is a magic potion that can increase the progress of the Realm Breaking Bead with the naked eye in one jar.

Sometimes he also thought that if he could eat the meat of wild animals every day, that would be the happiest life in the world.

Now think about it, the Guan family is really rich. Guan Qi should be the eldest lady who came to Feiye City from Fucheng alone.

This can be seen from her research on organ poisons. Regardless of her background, these things cannot be completed in a short time without the support of a large amount of manpower and material resources.

When he came back to his senses, he just got this sign from the sponsor in the afternoon. He has been practicing the Five Spirit Breathing Technique at home these days, and now it has achieved good results.

This skill essentially depends on one's own control and understanding, and does not require much in terms of one's basic skills.
