"So fast," Leng Shiqi thought to himself, and then checked the jade slips one by one.
Not long after, he frowned and put down the jade slips.
Steward Zhong smiled and asked, "What is Lord Liu's problem?"
"The jade slips only briefly described the characteristics of the cultivation method, but did not say which spiritual cavities can be opened. This is slightly inappropriate," Leng Shiqi leaned back and said indifferently.
Steward Zhong's smile froze, then he immediately smiled and said, "So that's how it is, this one was negligent."
Saying this, he took out the mirror again and wrote a sentence. In less than ten breaths of time, the servant came back with a new plate.
"Lord Liu, please take a look again," Steward Zhong gestured with his hand.
Leng Shiqi finally felt the benefits of his identity. This was a far cry from the treatment he received when he first bought a cultivation technique.
He looked through the five cultivation methods again, and found that only two of them were useful to him, but the number of spiritual cavities that could be opened was only seven or eight.
Just as Wu Deyao said, the cultivation methods that could be sold in the shop were very ordinary.
But, it was better than nothing.
He picked up one of the jade slips and asked, "How many spiritual stones is this 《Golden Cauldron Art》?"
"Lord Liu is too polite about the price, this shop can give this cultivation method to Lord, just treat it as making friends." Steward Zhong had no intention of taking the money.
Leng Shiqi instantly saw through Steward Zhong's thoughts, he was just unfamiliar with him, and wanted to use this as a pretext to get closer to him.
For Leng Shiqi, this could be considered as saving some spiritual stones, but it would also be related to the shop. He hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to take it.
From Wu Deyao's words, he could see that this was not just his case, Wu Deyao must have also gained a lot from these shops.
Leng Shiqi actually did not want to get too involved with these shops, but in this environment, everyone else was doing the same, and only he was aloof, he would be ostracized by others.
In any case, it could help him save a lot of spiritual stones, so why not?
Steward Zhong's smile deepened when he saw Leng Shiqi's cultivation technique. He was about to say something when Leng Shiqi beat him to it.
"I accept Steward Zhong's kind intentions and will remember them. I'll take my leave first." After saying that, he left the place without hesitation.
Manager Zhong immediately sent people to inquire about the Leng Shiqi.
After Leng Shiqi had tasted the benefits, he went out and specifically chose those large scale shops. These kinds of shops were generally not closed. Using his identity as an envoy inspector, he really managed to obtain four tier-5 cultivation techniques!
Including the one on his body, there were a total of five!
Although there wasn't anything profound about these cultivation methods, they were superior in quantity. Adding them all together, they could help him open up quite a few new spiritual cavities. If he were to open them all, he would have a total of 310 spiritual cavities!
If his luck was good, he would be able to buy one or two suitable cultivation methods from the auction, and he would be able to gather enough spiritual cavities.
With a satisfied mood, Leng Shiqi returned to the courtyard of the 29 Guards. However, before he entered the courtyard, he bumped into He Feichen, whose face was full of anxiety.
"What's wrong? Why are you so flustered?" Leng Shiqi vaguely felt that trouble had come.
Seeing Leng Shiqi return, He Feichen's expression changed. He pulled Leng Shiqi aside and whispered, "My lord, Wei Xiangming is here!"
Leng Shiqi had never heard of this person before, so he asked, "Who is Wei Xiangming?"
"He is the envoy inspector of the 28 Guards. His cultivation is at the middle stage of Gang Spirit Realm!"
He Feichen said in a deep voice, "The 28 Guards is right next to us. We have a grudge against each other because of a mission. We have never been on good terms."
Hearing this, Leng Shiqi knew that trouble had come, but he still didn't know what Wei Xiangming was here for. He asked He Feichen, "What's going on?"
"My lord, didn't you ask me to apply for some manpower? Unexpectedly, I happened to meet Wei Xiangming there.
After inquiring, I learned that Wei Xiangming wanted to transfer the five of us to the 28 Guards when he heard that the 29 Guards were going to be reorganized.
My lord, you know that we don't see eye to eye with him. If we were really transferred to the 28 Guards, we would definitely suffer a lot. Maybe we would even die while carrying out extremely dangerous missions!
Of course, I didn't want to, so I explained my intention. Wei Xiangming also knew that my lord had come to take office.
Therefore, it was impossible for the 29 Guards to be reorganized, so he came directly without caring about his face and has been waiting for my lord to come back.
I found an excuse to sneak out. I just wanted my lord to lie low for a while and not have a direct confrontation with Wei Xiangming. "
Leng Shiqi chuckled, "You mean to let me be a coward."
He Feichen immediately shook his head, "I don't dare to have such an idea, but Wei Xiangming …"
"Enough," Leng Shiqi cut him off, "Take me to see this Wei Xiangming."
"This …" He Feichen hesitated, but when he saw Leng Shiqi's indifferent expression, he obediently shut his mouth. As a subordinate, he had already done what he should do. Even if he lost face in the end, he couldn't be blamed.
Wei Xiangming was a very thin middle-aged man. He looked a little weak, but there were two terrifying scars on his face that gave people a very scary feeling.
At this time, Wei Xiangming was sitting in Leng Shiqi's seat in a dignified manner. He was playing with the teacup in his hand, looking a little bored.
"Lord Wei, Lord Liu is new here. He might have been attracted by the prosperity of the imperial capital. I don't think he'll come back tonight," Huang Huang said politely.
He had already planned to leave, but he was still a member of the 29 Guards. Naturally, he didn't want to see anyone else fall into Wei Xiangming's hands.
"No rush, no rush. I have plenty of time. Even if I have to wait here for an entire night, it won't be a problem." Wei Xiangming chuckled without a trace of tyranny.
However, those who were familiar with him knew that he was a ruthless person!
The more indifferent he appeared, the stronger the anger in his heart!
"This envoy has just taken office, and an important guest has already come to visit. I'm sorry for being late." At this time, Leng Shiqi walked into the hall and said with a fake smile.
Wei Xiangming glanced at Leng Shiqi and continued to play with the teacup in his hand. He said with disdain, "Since when can someone in the middle stage of the Spirit Aperture Realm become an envoy inspector?
The future of the Dark Lightning Guards is truly worrying. "
He Feichen interrupted, "Lord Liu was personally appointed by Manager Gao. Could it be that Lord Wei has doubts about Manager Gao's decision?"
"Hmph, don't use Manager Gao to pressure me. In the past few years, he has placed quite a few people in the Dark Lightning Guards. This has already caused the dissatisfaction of the other three Great Managers.
This Liu Xingzhi's cultivation isn't qualified at all. Being an envoy inspector is breaking the rules of the Dark Lightning Guards. I dare say this even in front of Manager Gao! "Wei Xiangming's tone was very unyielding.
Leng Shiqi's eyes moved slightly. He guessed that Wei Xiangming didn't come looking for trouble on the spur of the moment. Instead, there was someone pushing him from the shadows!
