Menglin left the Luo Tan Residence and the Bai Family's underground palace as it was nearing the grand opening of the Cloud Courtyard.
As soon as he entered the Bai Family, Menglin bumped into Bai Ji!
The smiling Bai Ji was in a good mood recently. When he saw Menglin, he suddenly leaned over and whispered, "Medicine Master Menglin, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Menglin was stunned. He glanced at Bai Ji, not understanding what this guy was thinking.
"Let's talk about the bad news first." Menglin smiled faintly.
Bai Ji smiled bitterly. "Let's talk about the good news first because this bad news is based on the good news."
Menglin hated beating around the bush. He shouted, "Stop talking nonsense and wasting my time."
Bai Ji chuckled. He also knew that Menglin was not really angry. However, he did not keep him in suspense. He said, "The good news is that there will be a large-scale auction at the Holy Spirit Island's Central Auction House tomorrow. It is said that there will be many good things up for auction tomorrow."
"Then what about the bad news?" Menglin frowned.
"The bad news is that our Bai Family only has two spots." When Bai Ji said this, he looked somewhat depressed.
"What kind of auction is it? So high-end?
Your Bai Family only has two spots? "
Menglin felt that it was unbelievable. Since it was a large-scale auction, with the Bai Family's status on the Holy Spirit Island, they should not have so few spots.
Bai Ji said dejectedly, "The main theme of this auction is related to medicine.
Because our Bai Family has been weaker in the field of medicine these years, it is normal for us to be overlooked in the invitation list.
Giving us two quotas is already giving face to the first-rate aristocratic families.
Originally, our Bai Family does not have a Saint Apothecary, so we can't say anything about not inviting the Bai Family! "
Pharmacology?
When Menglin heard this, he was slightly interested.
The Central Auction House of the Holy Spirit Island, a large-scale auction in the field of medicine.
Just based on these two points, Menglin was also very interested.
If he wanted to start a pharmacy business on the Holy Spirit Island, he could not miss such a grand event.
Although he had visited all the shops in the Gaolun District, he could only get a general understanding of the situation. Some details still needed to be observed over a long period of time.
This kind of auction was a good opportunity to see the Holy Spirit Island's pharmaceutical industry.
Seeing Menglin's interest, Bai Ji hurriedly said, "Medicine Master Menglin, my father wants you to have one of the two places, but …"
"But I'm not your family's guest pharmacist, so you're afraid that I won't have a proper status, right?" Menglin asked with a faint smile.
In fact, he knew that the Bai Clan really wanted to hire him as a guest pharmacist, but he was too embarrassed to ask.
Bai Ji grinned.
"Medicine Master Menglin, I really can't bring myself to say this.
Last time, I also mentioned to you that our Bai Family used to have a Saint Alchemist, but because of some old matters, he fell.
Therefore, all the Saint Alchemists on the Holy Spirit Island know that there is a risk in being a guest Saint Alchemist of our Bai family.
Therefore, our Bai Clan doesn't dare to force you. "
Bai Ji had mentioned this to Menglin before. Although Menglin found it strange, he didn't ask much. After all, he didn't know much about the Bai Clan at that time, so he wasn't interested in being a guest pharmacist.
Now that he was working with the Bai Clan, he had a good understanding of the Bai Clan. Menglin felt that being a guest pharmacist of the Bai Clan wasn't a big deal.
However, he didn't understand what was the risk of being a guest pharmacist of the Bai Clan.
Could it be that the pharmacists would be scapegoats in the fights between the aristocratic families?
Even so, what did Menglin have to fear?
He wasn't afraid of anyone competing with the pharmacists of the aristocratic families.
There probably weren't many people in the Five Dragon Regions who wanted to play Menglin to death in the pharmaceutical industry.
"Young Master Ji, you should know me well.
I'm not someone who's afraid of trouble, but I'm afraid that I'm not sincere, "Menglin said calmly.
Bai Ji was stunned and hurriedly explained, "Medicine Master Menglin, I didn't mean to hide this from you. It's just that I can't say it. It's too embarrassing."
"What do you mean?"
Bai Ji thought for a moment and sighed.
"Speaking of this, the Bai Clan is also very wronged.
The reason why the Bai Clan is in such an awkward situation is related to this matter.
You should know that the Bai Clan is a subordinate force of the Eastern Imperial Palace. We can become a first-class aristocratic family because of the Eastern Imperial Palace's care and protection.
Therefore, the Bai Clan is loyal and devoted to the Eastern Imperial Palace … "
Menglin frowned and vaguely guessed something. He asked curiously, "Get to the point."
Bai Ji smiled bitterly and said, "Medicine Master Menglin, this matter involves a secret. After you hear it, don't tell anyone. Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble."
Menglin nodded slightly.
"Speaking of this matter, I have to start with a secret of the Eastern Imperial Palace.
The Eastern Imperial Palace Lord is very old and his cultivation is very high. It's said that in recent years, he's reaching the end of his life. The Eastern Imperial Palace Lord is already at the peak of the Third Wheel Saint Realm. He only needs to condense a Holy Wheel to advance to the Fourth Wheel Saint Realm and become the illustrious The Blessed One!
Unfortunately … "
"The Blessed One?"
"Yes!
However, it's extremely difficult for a Saint to condense the fourth Holy Wheel. With the current strength of the Eastern Imperial Palace Lord, there's no hope at all!
Once his life is exhausted, there's no doubt that he'll die!
If he can successfully condense the fourth Holy Wheel, he'll be the eighth The Blessed One of the Holy Spirit Island.
However, if he dies, he won't be able to keep his position as the number one residence of the Eastern Imperial Palace.
The world of martial arts is so cruel.
It's even more so in the Holy Spirit Island. One step can make a difference of a thousand miles. "
"Sigh!"
Bai Ji sighed softly. His tone was full of sorrow. He continued, "The Eastern Imperial Palace Lord has used many secret methods to extend his life, but he can't solve the fundamental problem. Perhaps in these few years, the Eastern Imperial Palace Lord will die."
Menglin was familiar with this. The most difficult thing for a Saint was to condense a Holy Wheel.
If he couldn't advance to the next level before his life was exhausted, everything would be for naught …
As for the Eastern Imperial Palace Lord, as a Third Wheel Saint Realm Lord, he was also a big shot in the inner area of the Five Dragon Regions. Naturally, his every move would involve a lot of people.
Once such a big shot died, it would naturally cause a huge shock.
Therefore, Menglin could understand Bai Ji's sigh.
He thought that the Bai Family was really unlucky. They followed the Eastern Imperial Palace, but their Mansion Master didn't have the ability to advance to The Blessed One.
"Young Master Ji, what do these things have to do with your family's Saint Pharmacist?" Menglin was in a trance, but his thoughts returned to the original topic.
"It has a lot to do with it."
Bai Ji sighed. "At that time, all the big families under the Eastern Imperial Palace Lord were vaguely aware of the Eastern Imperial Palace Lord's matter, and they all wanted to help.
Sigh, it's also because our Bai Family was eager to make a contribution that we believed the guest Saint Pharmacist of our Bai Family.
That guy might have gone crazy trying to curry favor with the higher-ups. He actually said that he had some ways to help the Eastern Imperial Palace Lord increase the success rate of condensing a Holy Wheel … "
When Menglin heard this, he roughly understood.
It seemed that the Bai Family had been cheated by the rash guest Saint Pharmacist. That was why they were in such a state now.
After so many things had happened, the Eastern Imperial Palace didn't even say a word of condolence.
With the Bai Family's status as a first-class family, they shouldn't have been treated like this.
So this was the problem!
