Lingxu, Sword Coffin, Blind Swordsman

The guards at the entrance immediately bowed respectfully upon seeing Li Guanqi.

“Greetings, Great Commander! I will report your arrival at once.”

However, before the guard could announce him, the city lord's mansion doors swung open with a bang, and Lin Chuanqing's voice echoed in Li Guanqi's ears.

“Haha, just come in directly from now on; no need for formalities.”

Li Guanqi bowed slightly, not daring to overstep.

Lin Chuanqing was, after all, the city lord, and deserved due respect.

Taking his courteous words seriously would be truly ignorant.

As Li Guanqi walked through the front courtyard, he saw a group of beautiful women admiring flowers and sipping tea.

When the women saw Li Guanqi's handsome face, they all focused their attention on him.

Their eyes sparkled, sending flirtatious glances his way.

“Oh, is this the new Great Commander? Such a pale face~”

“Look at those muscles; I wonder if they're firm.”

“Those eyes have a unique charm, and his temperament is so aloof.”

“Hahahaha, Qiu Xia, you really have a type~”

The women's teasing made Li Guanqi's scalp tingle…

These women were all Lin Chuanqing's concubines, yet they were so bold!

Indeed, when women become lewd, men stand no chance.

Li Guanqi didn't stop; he simply lowered his head and bowed slightly.

He didn't look up at all.

After hurrying past, Li Guanqi arrived at the main hall of the city lord's mansion.

At this moment, three or five elders in gorgeous robes were eagerly talking about something.

Each of them held a jade box in their hands.

Li Guanqi stood at the door without saying anything.

Lin Chuanqing saw him and waved his hand.

“Everyone, I have some matters to attend to. I'll have someone take you to rest first, and we can discuss things this afternoon, alright?”

Upon hearing this, the others had no choice but to comply. They bowed and then left the main hall.

After everyone had left, Lin Chuanqing beckoned Li Guanqi over.

A maid served tea and refreshments, and Lin Chuanqing laughed loudly.

“They're just some merchants who want to discuss cooperation.”

Li Guanqi was slightly surprised.

“Is Qi Mobai's alchemy skill improving so quickly now?”

Lin Chuanqing's face was filled with undisguised joy; he was in a very good mood.

“Yes, his talent is very high, and his success rate in alchemy is increasing.”

“I plan to look for a suitable alchemy furnace for him during this period and buy one for him.”

Li Guanqi nodded slightly; this situation wasn't beyond his expectations.

But the next sentence surprised Li Guanqi a bit.

The man in the main seat sighed softly and then said in a low voice.

“I plan to… send Qi Mobai to the Pill Hall in a few months.”

Li Guanqi was shocked; he didn't expect Lin Chuanqing to think of sending Qi Mobai away!

Lin Chuanqing sighed and said, “His talent is too high, but… in the path of alchemy, if there's no master to guide him, his achievements will be limited even with his talent.”

“Moreover, he can only refine a limited number of first-grade pills now, and the Pill Hall will have more pill formulas.”

“Only when he advances to a second-grade alchemist, or even a higher grade, can he help me.”

“If he's just a first-grade genius alchemist, he'll ultimately be reduced to a tool for making money.”

Li Guanqi's eyes showed admiration.

With such a broad mind and foresight, it was no wonder Lin Chuanqing could manage Jade Void City so prosperously.

If it were someone else, they would definitely want to lock Qi Mobai up all day to refine pills.

The man straightened his clothes and asked casually.

“By the way, what brings you here?”

Li Guanqi didn't waste any words and directly threw two heads on the ground.

Lin Chuanqing only glanced at them and roughly understood what was going on.

He glanced indifferently at the heads, and his estimation of Li Guanqi increased.

The Great Commander of the Firmament Ascension Hall was at the fourth level of the Profound Immortal Realm!

But Li Guanqi was almost unharmed.

“No wonder Wujiu thought highly of him.”

Li Guanqi said directly.

“Zhao Chengyong has been paying attention to Jade Void City. He knew as soon as I left the city.”

“As for Zhang Ye… he's also related to them.”

Lin Chuanqing didn't show any surprise and asked instead.

“What about Zhao Ke?”

Li Guanqi shrugged.

“They all follow Zhao Ke's lead. Now that I've killed the chicken to scare the monkey, they're probably being honest.”

Speaking of this, Li Guanqi paused slightly.

“According to my personality, I would kill them all to eliminate future troubles.”

“But… they are, after all, Profound Immortal Realm cultivators. I'm afraid City Lord Lin would be distressed if too many were lost.”

“Besides, you also know that I won't stay in Jade Void City for too long.”

Lin Chuanqing nodded slightly. The resources required to cultivate a Profound Immortal Realm cultivator were astronomical.

Lin Chuanqing was very satisfied with Li Guanqi's actions: effective deterrence and great strength.

After pondering for a moment, the man said solemnly.

“You don't need to worry about Zhao Chengyong. If he dares to come to Jade Void City to find you, I dare to kill him!”

“In Qinzhou, our Lin family has nothing to fear!”

But the man's gaze also fell on Li Guanqi.

“But if a high-level Profound Immortal cultivator ambushes you, I can't do much.”

“So, if not necessary, try not to go out.”

Li Guanqi nodded slightly and was about to get up and leave.

“Wait, take this!”

Suddenly, a stream of light shot towards Li Guanqi.

It was a special ring, with an ancient design, but containing very powerful energy!

Li Guanqi seemed to know what it was and bowed very sincerely.

“Thank you, Senior Lin.”

Lin Chuanqing smiled and waved his hand.

“It's nothing; consider it making a good connection.”

“Whether it's you or Qi Mobai.”

“You are both dragons among men, with the potential of hidden dragons.”

“Your current weakness doesn't represent your future achievements. I only hope that when you achieve success and become famous, you will still remember Lin Chuanqing.”

Li Guanqi was very touched. Lin Chuanqing was indeed a true gentleman.

From the beginning, he had ulterior motives for both Li Guanqi and Qi Mobai.

Because for a Heavenly Immortal Realm expert like him, even with the power of the Lin family, it was impossible to offend an Ascension Hall for no reason.

But once you showed your worth, Lin Chuanqing would protect you without hesitation.

And he told you frankly that his actions today were to make a good connection.

It was difficult to dislike such a person.

Li Guanqi smiled and bowed, saying softly.

“If I, Cong Xin, ever make a name for myself, if Senior Lin needs any help, please feel free to ask.”

“I will never refuse.”

Looking at Li Guanqi below, Lin Chuanqing curled his lips and cursed in a low voice.

“If those bastards in my family had half your character, I could close my eyes now…”

Speaking of this, the man suddenly teased with a playful look.

“Did you see a group of women admiring flowers outside just now?”

Li Guanqi nodded slightly, not knowing why.

But the next sentence made Li Guanqi almost run away.

“Just take whichever one you fancy.”

Li Guanqi was shocked. What… outrageous words!!!

“Uh… aren't those your concubines, Senior?”

But to his surprise, Lin Chuanqing was slightly stunned.

“Yes, what's the problem?”

Li Guanqi didn't say much, politely declined the other party's 'kindness,' and fled in a hurry.
