Xie Mingxian was observing each other, and the master and servant were also observing him.
Chen Taizhong actually had some doubts as to whether the relationship between Ning Shufeng and the Xie family was that strong. The Fenghuang Realm looked at people who served food, and it really didn't take too much - you are a wandering immortal, how can you get along with other people's immortals?
very good?
To his surprise, Lao Ning's face was really not small, and the spirit fairy actually came to the door to greet him, and his attitude was very polite.
This Xie Mingxian is tall and strong, not very old, but already has a pretty big belly. He also looks bold and has a loud voice. His demeanor is a bit like...a gang boss on earth.
"I have taken the liberty of coming to disturb you. Please don't blame me, master." Chen Taizhong smiled and cupped his hands, and gave Wang Yanyan a sideways glance.
Dao Scar took out a jade box from the flower basket and handed it over, "Master, please don't dislike it for your kindness."
"Isn't this just an affair?" Xie Mingxian smiled and shook his head, "Shufeng and I have a life-long friendship."
He declined twice, but when he saw that he couldn't push it away, he had to hand it over to someone around him, thinking that this young man did things according to rules.
In fact, Chen Taizhong knew nothing about this kind of thing, but there was a Fenghuang native next to him, and Scar was very knowledgeable about this. Before he came to the house, he carefully considered with the host what kind of gift would be suitable.
It is said that the best gift is a spiritual stone, but giving this gift is too philistine. It not only lowers your own style, but also implies that you are looking down on the other person.
So in this box, there is a footwork that Scar picked out from many techniques. Advanced wandering immortals can practice it. Spirit immortals who don’t have very good footwork can also practice it - just suitable for people like the Xie family.
A family with a shallow foundation has enriched its heritage.
Not to mention that the Xie family probably doesn't have any good footwork, but even if it does, it would be a good thing to have one more option.
Just like when Chen Taizhong had "Liaoyuan Gunshu" and Jiang Ziqin gave him a set of "Blood Soul Gun", he was still very happy.
Xie Mingxian let the two people into the hall and invited people to serve tea. He was so enthusiastic that he didn't seem to be receiving two immortals at all, and the servants next to him were confused.
In fact, Xie Mingxian really knew that these two people who came here were not Youxian.
What Ning Shufeng asked someone to bring him was - that maid is a first-level spirit fairy, and I witnessed her promotion with my own eyes.
As for the master, Ning Shufeng didn't even know his cultivation level. Anyway, he was at least the combat power of a high-level spirit immortal.
The relationship between Xie Mingxian and Ning Shufeng is actually not as close as the two parties said. However, they both work for the government and have cooperated a lot in business, and even cooperated on some shady things. They know each other well.
.
Both parties will continue to get along in the future.
Therefore, the person who can make Ning Shufeng give such serious instructions will definitely not be any worse.
After chatting casually for a few words, Chen Taizhong started talking about his purpose, "The Hundred Medicine Valley is about to trade a thousand-year elixir. I want to spend some spiritual stones and have someone bring me a dozen drops of mind-purifying water. I heard that Elder Xie has some connections?
"
Xie Mingxian actually knew the purpose of his visit - even if he didn't know, he could still understand what he said. The medicine seller must have helped bring him a dozen drops of mind-purifying water.
"There have been a lot of people coming here recently," he frowned, wording his words carefully. "There are a lot of outsiders in Meishui City, and the Feng family is openly using spirit stones to collect thousand-year-old elixirs. The prices offered are extremely high.
high."
The two wealthy families in Meishui City, the Feng family and the Du family, both have high-level spiritual immortals, and their families also have children in the sect.
"Didn't the Du family... hear that there is a shortage of spiritual stones?" Chen Taizhong asked aloud.
"They are short of spiritual stones because they are hoarding spiritual medicines and want to take advantage of the opportunity to develop and grow." Xie Mingxian shook his head. He looked like he couldn't laugh or cry. "A while ago... the elders of Bai Yao Valley went to the Du family."
"Then what?" Chen Taizhong asked.
"Then Baiyao Valley bought a lot of elixirs from the Du family at a fair price," Xie Mingxian wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh. He was so depressed that he felt uncomfortable, "The Du family didn't have many elixirs to trade. Although it was true that they were short of spiritual stones, why?
Will you trade with outsiders easily?"
"Hoarders," Wang Yanyan snorted disdainfully.
"Then there's nothing we can do?" Chen Taizhong frowned.
"You have to think slowly about the solution," Xie Mingxian frowned and said, "But I want to tell you two, when you visit Meishui City, no matter where the thousand-year-old elixir is sold, don't buy it."
"Oh?" Chen Taizhong was interested, "Why?"
"It's definitely fake. At this time, there will be no genuine products on the market," Xie Mingxian spread his hands and said very seriously, "And if you buy fake products, you may be murdered."
At this point, he changed his tone and said, "Of course, I know that the two distinguished guests don't care about the little ones, but... why bother with one more thing when you can have one less thing to do?"
Chen Taizhong didn't particularly care about Xiao Xiao. After thinking about it, he asked, "Does Elder Xie have any other suggestions?"
Xie Mingxian shook his head, hesitated and then spoke, "If that doesn't work, I will take you to Calabash Gorge to see who has the thousand-year elixir. You can discuss it directly with them."
"Calabash Gorge?" Chen Taizhong frowned upon hearing this.
"Calabash Gorge is the place where elixirs are traded," Xie Mingxian replied with a smile, "There are a lot of elixirs traded this time, not only thousand-year elixirs, but also other elixirs."
"I thought it would be in Meishui City," Chen Taizhong raised his eyebrows.
"The county governor's office has issued a message, hoping to move outside the city," Xie Mingxian smiled and shook his head, "After all, this is where the county government is located, and those outsiders have recently made the city a mess. If anyone comes from Baiyao Valley, they will be in trouble.
When something happens...then there will be a question of who is in charge."
"That's true," Chen Taizhong nodded, and he understood a little bit, "Who should listen to whom between Baiyao Valley and the County Sheriff's Mansion?"
Wang Yanyan rolled her eyes, "The governor of Meiya must be a fairy, right?"
"Intermediate level," Xie Mingxian nodded lightly, and then smiled bitterly, "But the county guard also needs the elixirs from the Hundred Medicine Valley. This account... is really difficult to settle."
"Then let's go into the city for a walk?" Chen Taizhong raised his eyebrows.
Apart from anything else, as long as he knew that the transaction location was in Hulu Gorge, he didn't come to Xie's house in vain, not to mention that Xie Mingxian promised to lead the way. With the help of local snakes, it would indeed provide a lot of convenience.
"You have to go early and come back early," Xie Mingxian made it clear, "It's not easy for you to find a similar place to live in the city, and there's not much to do in the city now... I'll arrange it
I, personally, will take you on a tour."
He arranged for a middle-aged man named Xie Mingju, who was a ninth-level wandering immortal and of the Ming generation, but he was probably the kind of master with no hope of immortality, and he was also very experienced in speaking and doing things.
The three of them walked around Meishui City, and Chen Taizhong understood why Xie Mingxian said there was nothing to see.
It’s not that there is nothing in the city. Meishui, as the county seat of Mae Ya, has a relatively complete range of goods. However, the things here are in one word: expensive!
Chen Taizhong, who doesn't shop much, can feel this. Wang Yanyan even said, "Almost everything is at least 30% more expensive than Wangquan."
Xie Mingju replied with a smile, "Two distinguished guests, things in Meishui were not so expensive in the past. Recently, Baiyao Valley started collecting elixirs, and too many random people came, causing the price of the goods to rise a lot.
"
Chen Taizhong nodded, and just as he was about to speak, he frowned suddenly and struck out with a powerful consciousness.
Then there was a muffled groan, and a person suddenly appeared next to Wang Yanyan. This person's hand was reaching for the flower basket. The next moment, blood was pouring from the corner of his mouth, and his body fell limply to the ground.
"Holy shit, this invisibility skill is out," Xie Mingju smacked his lips when he saw this, stepped forward and directly restrained the man, and then locked him with the forbidden spirit lock.
"Hey, what are you doing?" At this moment, someone shouted loudly not far away, but they were two low-level immortals. They stepped forward, pushed Xie Mingju hard, and said with a grin on his face, "Boy, you
Looking for trouble?"
This invisible little thief is only at the seventh level of Immortal. It is really unexpected that he has the help of immortals.
"For outsiders, I tell you to behave yourself," Xie Mingju's face darkened and he spoke gloomily, "This is Meishui, not a place for you to run wild."
"I just went wild, what will happen to you?" A spirit fairy took out a short sword and pierced it without saying a word.
"Looking for death!" Wang Yanyan shot out three flying needles without even thinking, "Lao Xie, can Meishui kill people casually?"
"As long as I bear witness, you can kill him," Xie Mingju said, his face turning livid with anger.
The Xie family is very close to the city lord, and it is easy for the government to be sly and sly. After all, they are thieves from out of town, and they are not local tycoons.
At this moment, a whistle sounded in the distance. The two immortals looked at each other, turned around and ran away without saying a word.
The next moment, four or five guards came over from the corner of the street. After seeing Xie Mingju, they smiled and said hello, "Mingju... what has this kid done?"
"A thief can become invisible and come to steal the guests of my Xie family."
"Oh, invisible thief? There has been quite a lot of trouble in the past two days," a guy who looked like a small boss lit up his eyes, and then said with a smile, "Thank you, brother, I will take this job, okay?"
"Whatever," Xie Mingju smiled and spread his hands, "But don't blame me for not reminding you. This guy had two immortal accomplices who ran away just now."
"I know he has an accomplice... After searching the soul, the accomplice can't escape," the man nodded indifferently, then looked at Chen Taizhong and said with a smile, "Your guest looks like the son of a wealthy family at first glance, but he doesn't
Do you have to recruit thieves?"
Chen Taizhong smiled and nodded, but he looked a little absent-minded.
He was indeed absent-minded. The two immortals had acted brazenly just now, which was a bit irritating to him - if he couldn't steal, he could just run away, but he actually dared to assassinate the victim. Are he really a good friend to bully?
Therefore, his consciousness has been locked on the two immortals from a distance.
