Considering that she might not be able to come back to Tianyun Country for a long time this time, Ling Qingzhu wrote a few potion formulas again while He Wenlong went to buy it.
Healing potion, detoxification potion, recovery potion, and explosive potion that temporarily increases strength by three times and then falls into a three-day period of weakness.
Ling Qingzhu also has a lot of more types of medicines and elixirs here, but basically there is not much demand for the Pulse Condensation Realm and Juyuan Realm, so I still took out these medicines commonly used by monks.
After taking out so many types of potions and spiritual liquids, Ling Qingzhu never thought about whether there would be some capable person who could decipher the formula.
But just thinking about it, if you are not a professional alchemist, you may not even be able to identify several of the elixirs, let alone crack the formula.
After He Wenlong bought the carriage and returned, Ling Qingzhu and him went to the Merchant Alliance headquarters in person to meet Liu Qi.
…
On the top floor of the Merchant Alliance, Ling Qingzhu sat in the main seat, with He Wenlong standing beside him. As an emerging force, Liu Qi, who was well-known in Fangquan City and even the Changgu Kingdom, stood aside and served tea respectfully.
.
Although they were both leaders of the Merchant Alliance and their positions were only one level apart, Liu Qi was not dazzled.
Liu Qi is very clear about his status with Ling Qingzhu. Although he is the deputy leader, he was also appointed by Ling Qingzhu. As long as she wants, the business alliance will be hers.
Ling Qingzhu's sense of Liu Qi was very good, but it did not swell after gaining power and strength. This kind of character is indeed a talent that can be made.
Ling Qingzhu then took out the new pharmaceutical formula and handed it to Liu Qi, and asked: "Does our merchant alliance have a branch alliance in Tianyun Country?"
Although Liu Qi was very excited after getting another potion formula, he still restrained the idea of checking it immediately.
"I'm telling you, Lord Alliance Leader, except for the headquarters of the Merchant Alliance, our other cadres have chosen to establish branch alliances in the surrounding chaotic and ownerless cultivation countries. It is easier for such ownerless countries to gain a foothold as long as they have strength, and the Tianyun Kingdom
But it is a subsidiary cultivation country under Zhongzhou Xuanting, so our branch alliance did not choose to be established there."
After Liu Qi explained to Ling Qingzhu, he asked for instructions: "Sir, alliance leader, do you need to send someone to Tianyun Kingdom immediately to establish a branch alliance?"
"No, I'm just asking. You can decide on the development of the Merchant Alliance. I believe that even if we don't establish the branch of the Merchant Alliance in Tianyun Country, it won't be long before Emperor Xuanting sends someone to invite our branch to settle in.
Yeah." Ling Qingzhu shook his head and smiled.
This is the general trend. If a force that affects everyone develops unstoppably, others will have only two choices.
Either use it for mutual benefit, or use all your strength to destroy it.
Neither cooperation nor hostility is a recipe for death.
Those who fail to keep up with the general trend are destined to be eliminated and become second-rate or third-rate, which is already the best outcome.
"Yes, the alliance leader is wise." Liu Qi complimented.
Ling Qingzhu took a sip of tea, then stood up and said: "Although it is stipulated that you cannot use the interests of the merchant alliance to seek personal gain with power, as long as it is for the sake of the merchant alliance, it does not count as seeking personal gain with power. In short, think twice before acting. As the deputy leader of the alliance, there is no persuasion.
The strength of your subordinates is also not up to standard, so you cannot let your cultivation fall behind. You will be solely responsible for the business alliance, and I will inform you if anything happens."
"Farewell, your lord, alliance leader." Liu Qi bowed.
Ling Qingzhu had long been accustomed to these false courtesies, and knew that allowing his subordinates to do so would reassure them, so he ignored them.
"Let's go back to Tianyun Kingdom."
…
Half a month later, Ling Qingzhu and He Wenlong returned to Tianhai County, the capital of Tianyun Kingdom.
Ling Qingzhu took off his mask and walked on the bustling streets of the largest city in Tianhai County.
Just imagine what would happen if a beautiful young girl was followed by a gloomy monk whose whole body was wrapped in a cloak.
Regarding this matter, He Wenlong is definitely the one who has the most say, because he has been regarded as a lewd thief who molested young girls, and he has met several times as a young hero who wants to be a hero and save the beautiful girl.
Although He Wenlong is right to admit that he is a thief, he does not want to be provoked face to face by ants one after another!
What made He Wenlong feel most depressed was that when he wanted to teach these heroic young men to save the beauty, Ling Qingzhu ordered him not to take action.
It is said that the power of the emperor cannot be violated, but he, the newly minted emperor, was repeatedly provoked by some ants in the Pulse Condensing Realm and even the Juyuan Realm and was unable to take action.
In order not to be angry anymore, He Wenlong finally used his magical power to turn into a ghostly shadow and hide in Ling Qingzhu's shadow.
He Wenlong also heard about the reason why Ling Qingzhu chose to return to Tianyun Kingdom, and wanted to repay the favor and fulfill an agreement.
He Wenlong understood repaying kindness and fulfilling the agreement, but He Wenlong did not understand the way Ling Qingzhu repaid his kindness.
But it doesn't matter if you don't understand. Anyway, since it was Ling Qingzhu who made the decision, it must be reasonable. He just needs to do his duty as a protector.
He hadn't paid much attention before, but He Wenlong was suddenly shocked when he saw Ling Qingzhu's beautiful face after taking off her mask, and her tall figure that had changed rapidly in just half a year.
When we first met, the ugly girl with a scarred birthmark on her face and a skinny figure had undergone such an earth-shaking change in just one year.
However, looking at Ling Qingzhu with a youthful smile and a peaceful temperament, He Wenlong still felt a strong sense of disobedience. Is this the feeling that a reincarnated great master should give people?
Finally, after holding it in for a long time, He Wenlong couldn't help but ask: "Yue, do you feel that you have changed a bit since you returned to Tianyun Kingdom and got off the carriage? For example, your mood is much better..."
After hearing this, the smile on Ling Qingzhu's face faded, and her expression returned to its everlasting calmness and plainness, and she asked: "What do you mean?"
"Yes, yes, this is the right feeling. This is the impression you left on me." He Wenlong immediately exclaimed, as if he was sure that his knowledge was correct.
"oh."
Ling Qingzhu responded softly, and the calm and gentle smile returned to her beautiful face again, and she whispered softly: "Life is like a play. If you want to live a relaxed life, how can you do it without some disguise?"
He could understand the meaning of the words, but from Ling Qingzhu's mouth, He Wenlong felt as if he was listening to her talk about his life.
"If possible, I hope you will use this disguise in front of me in the future." He Wenlong didn't want to discuss these heavy-sounding philosophies with Ling Qingzhu, so he changed the subject and joked.
