Chapter 7 Don't bow your head
Five hundred taels are really a sky-high price for ordinary people like Li Qing and Pan Dahai.
Let me put it this way, Li Qing’s monthly living expenses are about seven or eight taels of silver. In Cangyun Martial Arts Court, each meal of A is one tael of silver, and each meal of B is half a tael of silver. As for the C dish that Li Qing usually eats the most, each meal is only one tenth of silver. One tael of silver is equal to one hundred coins, which is ten coins.
Ten dollars per meal, three taels of silver is enough to eat for a month!
Of course, because you want to grow up, Li Qing would occasionally eat dish B, but he had hardly eaten dish A.
Now that he has obtained this five hundred taels of silver, it means it is equal to five hundred taels of a piece of cake!
"Good boy, I actually sold a painting for 500 taels of silver! Haha, I said I had to sell it out! We agreed to have three meals of a dish! No, I got five meals!" Even the little fat Pan Dahai's family is slightly better than Li Qing, and he only ate one meal of a dish a dish a month at most. Now I hear this number.
Fatty, there are almost no one who is not greedy.
"No problem, five slap in five slap! Even ten slap in ten slap!" Li Qing could also describe it as ecstasy. This was like turning from a poor peasant to become a landlord. He couldn't help but feel that he had become rich and generous.
Five hundred taels!
He knew very well that his father could not make the money even after working for a year! Now he made so much money with just one painting. It was so sudden that happiness came too much and even a little unreal!
"With these five hundred taels, you won't have to save money when buying painting paper in the future!" Li Qing was overjoyed. This was the first time he had gotten so much money.
More importantly, this proves that his paintings can be sold for money, which is equivalent to opening up a way of wealth! Even if the paintings he painted in the future are not as good as this Fengzhong Aozhu Picture, it should be worth at least a few dozen taels!
From then on, he was able to be self-sufficient and no longer needed to work hard at home to study.
Thinking of the hard work of supporting his parents at home, Li Qing was also touched. He hoped that he could reduce their burden as soon as possible, and now he finally had the opportunity to achieve it.
"It turns out that the picture of Aozhu in Feng was painted by this young master. The customer who sold the paintings was very appreciative. Especially after knowing that you are a student of Cangyun Martial Arts Academy, he bought it for 500 taels on the spot." The owner of the gallery was a red-faced old man. Seeing Li Qing seemed quite polite: "There are paintings in the future, so you can bring them to our Qingye Gallery again. This time I won't charge you for the handling fee."
"It must be certain, then thank you, my father-in-law." Li Qing hurriedly thanked. Originally, there was a 10% handling fee for consignment in the gallery, but now there was fifty taels of silver left, which was enough for his meal for several months.
After leaving the gallery, Li Qing and Pan Dahai were obviously in good spirits. Even Pan Dahai had even straightened his waist. Now his best friend sold a painting of 500 taels, and he was honored.
And the two of them were obviously not so nervous about the Xie family that they were about to go to.
...
The Xie family is one of the four major families in Cangyun City, and its mansion is naturally located in Cangyun City.
After turning two streets, Li Qing and Pan Dahai finally arrived at their destination.
The Xie family occupied a large area of land, with a high-ranking family, with a great momentum and a sense of ancientness. It is said that among the four major families in Cangyun City, the Xie family has the longest history. Now when they see it, they feel it from this.
"The four major families are four major families, and one storefront is much larger than our entire house." Pan Dahai had always stood up, but when he came to the door of the Xie family, he couldn't help but become shorter and nervous.
"Indeed, this is the only way to call it a family. I will help our Li family create a foundation in the future!" Li Qing clenched his fist slightly at this time, thinking in his heart. He thought of his home outside the city. Not only did he have no security, but he also looked like a thatched house compared with this big family.
Next to the Xie family, there is a very special building, which is simple and elegant, and has a quaint flavor. Although it is much smaller, it is not inferior to the Xie family's portal in terms of momentum.
"Fuyun Dan Pavilion." On the ancient building, there is a low-key and unignorable plaque. The four characters seem to have special magic, which makes people feel a sense of respect when they look at it.
Li Qing knew that this was the place to sell elixirs.
On this Xuanhuang Continent, alchemists are very scarce, which also leads to the extremely expensive elixirs, which are definitely not affordable for ordinary people.
Li Qing and Pan Dahai stood in front of the Fuyun Dan Pavilion for a while. They could see that the people entering and leaving here were either rich or noble, and most of them were from the tribes of the major families in Cangyun City.
Occasionally, we will find some warriors who have lived through life and die. They often encounter dangers when they make a living in the wild. If they have pills on them, they will appear more secure and sometimes they can save their lives.
Anyway, although Li Qing is carrying the five hundred taels of silver he gets from selling paintings, he has also been to Dange Pavilion with shame before, and is very clear that his money is not enough to buy a real pill. At most, he can only buy many semi-finished products, such as medicinal liquids.
Among them, the Dali Pill refined by the Dali Grass he took was of great benefit to the body refining realm. He vaguely remembered that the price was 100,000 taels per pill, which was a sky-high price. Ordinary people could not afford it without eating or drinking in their entire lives.
"The letter said that I will become the Emperor of Danwu in the future. Could it be that I will become a noble alchemist in the future?" However, at this time, Li Qing also had a special feeling when he looked at the Fuyun Dan Pavilion, and he became more and more excited about his future.
At this moment, Pan Dahai suddenly pulled the corner of his clothes.
"What's wrong?" Li Qing came to his senses and followed the eyes of his best friend, and saw several vaguely familiar figures walking out of the Fuyun Dan Pavilion.
The leader was a young man in brocade clothes with fair skin, high eyes, and a hint of arrogance on his face, as if he was not taking anything into consideration. And behind him were Zhao Xing and other boys who had fought with Li Qing. At this time, they were all following behind very respectfully, obviously headed by this young man.
"Zhao Hao?" After a brief thought, Li Qing guessed the identity of the boy.
This young man is Zhao Hao, who is from the direct line of the Zhao family of the four major families in Cangyun City, and is also one of the top ten geniuses in the Cangyun Martial Arts Academy.
Although they had never had any contact with each other, he also knew that this person was Zhao Xing and others. Pan Dahai also analyzed to him that the rumors were circulated a while ago were probably related to this person.
Soon, Zhao Xing and others also noticed Li Qing and Pan Dahai. Zhao Xing's eyes sank and then took the first two steps and said a few words in Zhao Hao's ear.
Then, Zhao Hao's eyes fell on Li Qing. It seemed that he had always been above the top before, and he was disdainful of people like Li Qing and Pan Dahai who looked extremely ordinary.
"Let's go in first, Ah Qing." Pan Dahai was worried that Li Qing would be embarrassed by Zhao Hao, so he planned to pull the latter to the Xie family.
"Li Qing!" But it was already late. At this time, Zhao Xing shouted loudly: "Our young master wants to talk to you."
Upon hearing this, Li Qing frowned slightly, and Pan Dahai couldn't continue to pull Li Qing in, as it would be considered that he would not give Zhao Hao face and offend him even more.
Soon, Zhao Hao and his friends also walked from Dan Pavilion to the front of Xie's door.
"What are you doing here?" Zhao Hao glanced at Li Qing again, then asked in a faint voice.
"Go back to Mr. Zhao Hao, it was Miss Wanran who invited us to come." Pan Dahai replied to Li Qing.
"I didn't ask you." Zhao Hao then glanced at Pan Dahai, but said clearly without taking it seriously.
"Little fat man, you'd better shut up. There's no point in talking here!" Zhao Xing shouted at this time, relying on the power of the people.
"Zhao Xing, what qualifications do you have?" Pan Dahai was furious and dared not speak out. Li Qing raised his head and looked at Zhao Xing with a cold look. Pan Dahai is his best friend, and he cannot watch him being ridiculed.
"You are looking for death!" Zhao Xing was furious, but was soon stopped by Zhao Hao, who looked at Li Qing again and said in a cold tone: "It seems that the lesson I taught a few days ago is not enough. You have the face to appear in front of Wanran. But I advise you to be a little self-aware and not have any delusions."
"It's really related to him!" Li Qing clenched his fist in his sleeve slightly. It was Pan Dahai's guess before, but now Zhao Hao's words are equivalent to admitting himself.
"I have never had any delusions, but Zhao Hao put me in trouble because of unreasonable speculation, and made me mocked me, and made me say I was not aware of myself!" His anger surged in his heart, and his nails also penetrated into the flesh and blood at this time, and a kind of pain was heartbroken.
Although he didn't care on the surface before, how could the passionate boy be completely unaffected?
Without strength or status, you live a very depressed life!
At this time, Li Qing was so eager for strength. Looking at the annoying face, he really wanted to smash it with one punch!
But he knew he had to endure it again!
Not only does Zhao Hao have the strength to be at the peak of the seventh level of body refining, but behind him is the Zhao family, one of the four major families in Cangyun City.
Li Qing knew in his heart that with his current strength, it was not time to settle accounts with the other party!
"Li Qing, I heard that you broke through to the sixth level of body refining a few days ago and defeated Zhao Xing, but you should know that this strength is nothing in front of me." Seeing that Li Qing didn't say anything, Zhao Hao looked arrogant and said lightly again: "Now I can give you a chance to join my subordinates! In this way, I can live without any blame. And when you graduate in a few days, I can still ask you to help our Zhao family do things, which is a huge benefit."
"Li Qing, don't think that it's so great that you can reach the sixth level of body refining. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you. I hope you don't mislead yourself! Also, I defeated you that day, but I underestimated the enemy. Don't think that I am really not your opponent!" Zhao Xing also said at this time.
"The great benefit? A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?" Li Qing smiled. He could tolerate it, but he would never bow his head to be a dog.
"Huh? You don't agree?" Zhao Hao's eyes were cold toward Li Qing's attitude.
"Sorry, I'm really not interested in being a dog." Li Qing said to Zhao Hao with no expression on his face and without any fear. He has his own dignity and persistence. If he really has no way to avoid it, he would rather fight to the death!
"This is what you asked for!" Zhao Hao took a step slowly, his muscles and bones roaring together, showing his majesty.
