In the Qing Lord's Mansion, in the deep Qing Huang Palace, the Qing Lord is receiving a secret report.
"My lord, Jiang Yaoring has been in the alchemy secret room for eight days and has not come out. It seems that the elixir refining is not going well."
"Other than that, there are no other abnormalities."
"When Jiang Yaoling returned to the cave, his expression was solemn, as if he had an important mission. As soon as he returned to the cave, he went straight to the secret room for refining medicine."
Master Qing received the secret report. Although he was satisfied with Jiang Yao's loyalty, he still frowned.
Will the refining fail?
The medicinal materials were so precious that he would never get another portion. If the ginger medicine failed to be refined, it would be a huge sin.
Even if you kill him, it will be difficult to relieve the hatred in your heart.
Zhongda, you must speak up. Not only can you save your own life, but also let others obtain the qualifications of Taoism.
Only when everyone is happy will the ruler and his ministers be able to do what they want.
Otherwise...if I don't kill you, there will be traces of Taoism.
Qingzhu has always paid attention to nourishing Qi and meditating, but the "Marrying Spirit Evil Pill" is a secret recipe for evil cultivation that he finally obtained. For this reason, he also got a daughter with outstanding talent. It is related to the rise and fall of Qingzhu and the success or failure of his great cause. How can he remain calm?
?
I couldn't help but feel impatient.
I couldn't help but have murderous intent in my heart.
Ginger medicine, if you fail to refine it, you are a Daqing sinner and deserve death!
No matter how much merit you have made in the past, it will not be enough to offset this crime.
But at this moment, a secret report was sent again.
"Your Majesty! Jiang Yaoling has left the quiet room, looking cheerful."
Upon hearing this, Master Qing immediately smiled.
It must be done.
Zhongda is indeed my great young minister, and he lives up to everyone’s expectations!
However, he was only happy for a short while before he frowned again.
Will Jiang Zhongda know the purpose of this elixir?
This person is probably a hidden danger if he stays.
Thinking of this, Master Qing's narrow eyes narrowed slightly.
…
Jiang Yao tidied himself up, left Yaoling Mansion refreshed again, and went straight to Jun Mansion.
After entering the Lord's Mansion, when passing through a garden, he couldn't help but think of the time when he met Qingmei, the fourth daughter of Qingzhu, again.
"Are you Mr. Zhongda? You are such a strange snake."
Among the flowers, a charming little girl looked at me, very cute.
"If Mr. Zhongda is free, please teach Qingmei Medicine..."
Jiang Yao has only met Qingmei twice and has a very good impression of her. She is a sunny little girl who is very popular with adults.
But now, he is carrying the evil elixir refined with her soul and heart!
Jiang Yao felt disgusted and angry.
However, without any pause in his footsteps, with a relaxed and happy look on his face, he swaggered into the Qinghuang Palace holding the snake staff.
"My lord, Jiang Yao, pays homage to the lord!"
In order to prevent being silenced by Qingzhu, he also took some precautions.
His life-saving magic weapon is not a decoration.
"Zhongda excuses himself, come and speak inside." Master Qing's voice came faintly, his tone was calm.
"Thank you, Lord." Jiang Yao entered the inner hall respectfully.
Master Qing was wearing a black robe embroidered with a phoenix, sitting cross-legged on the futon, with a calm expression but a powerful aura.
There is no one else.
Jiang Yao's heart skipped a beat.
"My lord, I am fortunate to have lived up to my mission and finally mastered this elixir."
"Because my lord has warned me that I dare not neglect it for fear of making mistakes. Therefore, I can only refine other elixirs first and practice repeatedly until I no longer fail before I dare to refine this elixir."
"It took some time."
After saying that, he took out the medicine bottle and offered it to him.
Qingzhu took the medicine bottle, opened it, and felt relieved and extremely pleasantly surprised.
Jiang Zhongda really lived up to everyone's expectations.
He smiled calmly and said: "It doesn't matter. Today is only eight days and it has not exceeded the time limit. Thank you Zhongda for your hard work."
"Zhongda is a great pharmacist. Please tell me carefully about the effectiveness of this elixir."
Jiang Yao suddenly looked extremely embarrassed, and his pretty face immediately turned red.
"My lord, my lord..."
Sweat broke out on the young man's forehead.
"My Lord, I forgive you, but I am incompetent. Although I have refined this elixir, I don't know the efficacy of this elixir. It's true, it's true..."
Qingzhu sighed and said: "That's all. This elixir is a unique secret recipe. I was entrusted by others to refine it, and I don't know what it is used for."
He looked at his words and saw that Jiang Yao really didn't know the purpose of this elixir.
Also, he is not the god of medicine, so of course he doesn’t know.
If he knew, he would never be spared his life.
"Thank you for your forgiveness, Lord. I am still too young and my knowledge of medicine is lacking. After a hundred years, I will be able to break through to the God of Medicine, and I should be able to know the purpose of this elixir."
Jiang Yao said with shame.
Qingzhu was relieved for the time being and said very gently: "If Zhongda is fine, then go back to the house, I still have to practice."
Jiang Yao took out a note and said with a flattering look on his face: "My lord, please take a look."
Qingzhu opened it and took a quick look at the contents.
"Is this jade business really feasible?"
Jiang Yao replied: "I don't dare to say it, but even if I lose money, I won't lose much. With the participation of your government, I will definitely make a profit."
"If there is no great god like my lord to protect me, then I will have no confidence."
Qingzhu got the evil elixir and felt happy at this moment. He also saw that the jade business was quite organized. How could he refute Jiang Yao's reputation?
It is a good thing that ginger medicine has something to offer and wants to make a fortune.
Otherwise, he will feel that something is wrong.
It can be said that Jiang Yao came up with the instructions of Jade Bank at the best time.
"Forget it. Zhongda is bold enough to do this big jade thing. I will give you one million spiritual jade, and you will only get 30% of it. Seventy percent will be given to you."
Jiang Yao quickly waved his hand and said with a mixture of joy and fear: "My lord is so kind to me, I am deeply grateful! But my lord only takes 30% of it, so this is absolutely unacceptable!"
"My lord only takes 30%, so where is my loyalty to you? If this is the case, I will never do this jade business."
Qingzhu smiled and felt better.
"That's all. I'll take half of the share and give you the other half. Well, looking at your loyalty and filial piety, I'll give you two million. There's no need to mention this matter again."
Good guy, it’s two million with one mouthful, and you only get half of it.
As expected, he has the air of a leader.
This is really a reward.
When Jiang Yao heard the number two million, he was so happy that he wanted to laugh three times.
Two million is enough for all the initial start-up capital.
He is like a white wolf with empty hands and no business.
In other words, even if he loses, he will not lose a piece of spiritual jade.
With Qing Lord's participation, the entire Qing clan's jade business will soon be monopolized by him.
Then through the jade business, he established a huge business empire of the Jiang family.
"Thank you, lord! Then I will not disturb my lord's cultivation." Jiang Yao bowed respectfully and left the palace.
When Jiang Yao left, Master Qing immediately took out the evil pill.
He repeatedly checked his senses and found nothing wrong.
Come to think of it, Jiang Yao doesn't know how to do anything and doesn't dare to do anything.
This man is considered a loyal minister, so what bad intentions can he have?
Then, he couldn't wait to swallow one.
boom!
Just a few breaths after swallowing the evil pill, a clear and familiar breath came from the spiritual platform.
That was the scent of his daughter Qingmei.
There is also the aura of Taoist qualifications.
His powerful Mysterious Soul Realm soul has already sensed that his qualifications are slowly improving.
Ha ha ha ha.
The qualifications of the widow have begun to improve!
One year later, I will be qualified as a Taoist!
Within a hundred years, he will become a powerful martial saint.
He wants to upgrade Qing Clan to a first-class powerful vassal, or even a super powerful vassal!
Unify the Western Regions.
That's right, becoming the Lord of the Western Region and the Great Sage is his lifelong pursuit.
If such an arrogant ambition were known to outsiders, no one would believe that he could achieve it.
"Zhongda is truly a loyal and filial minister."
Qingzhu suddenly sighed and said to himself.
He felt that Jiang Yao was really loyal and very good.
"From now on, I will listen to his advice more. Zhongda is so loyal, he will not let me down."
Thinking of this, Lord Qing suddenly issued an order:
"Come here, tell the Chief Tax Officer that from now on all the taxes and offerings from Mingshan will only be 20%!"
This instantly reduced taxes by half.
"Come here, tell the arsenal that Mingshan will be rewarded with 100 armors, 100 horses, and an increase of 500 soldiers..."
When the news spread, many retainers knew that Jiang Zhongda had become the lord's confidant.
It looks like it's going to be very popular.
For a time, many people sent people to prepare gifts and went straight to Mingshan to make good friends.
Only Lanlan, the madam of Mingyue Tower, bit her teeth after hearing the news.
hateful!
Unexpectedly, not only did Jiang Yao not suffer any misfortune, she actually gained more and more trust from the Lord.
I have already enmity with him, how can he not take revenge when the time comes?
Is it to give a generous gift to apologize, or...
After thinking for a long time, Lan Lan decided to send a killer to kill Jiang Yao.
As long as the planning is clever, even if the assassination fails and the assassin is caught, she will not be traced.
The reason why she decided to assassinate him was because she felt that Jiang Yao was just a martial artist and it would not be difficult to assassinate him.
The chance of failure is very small.
If you don't get rid of this person while his cultivation level is low and his power is small, it will be difficult to do it again when he grows up.
As for making amends, who knows if he will really not hold grudges after receiving the generous gift?
Isn't there a lot of things like receiving gifts and repaying revenge?
…………
Jiang Yao was in an extremely good mood on the way back to Mingshan.
Lord, have you taken your medicine?
Take medicine.
The medicine cannot be stopped.
He was sure that Master Qing must have eaten the evil pill eagerly.
Then the poison of trust in water must be sown.
If he really eats it, his trust in himself will suddenly increase, and a reward will definitely come.
Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Yao returned to the Mingshan Lord's Mansion, the reward arrived.
"...Jiang Zhongda is as loyal as a humble man. He has devoted all his energy and energy to me, Da Qing, and has done a great job..."
"...Reduce their taxes by 20% and increase the number of family soldiers by 500..."
"A reward of one hundred suits of armor and one hundred thousand-mile horses..."
"This order!"
Within two days, many retainers sent people to the lord's mansion to deliver gifts.
We received dozens of people at once.
I received gifts worth hundreds of thousands in two days.
Even the Lan family gave gifts.
However, none of the people who gave the gifts saw Jiang Yao because Jiang Yao had gone into seclusion.
He needs to practice hard for a period of time and lay a solid foundation before proceeding.
The natural talent Gu has been taken, these three years are the best window for cultivation, and cannot be delayed for a single day.
