Hong Yu was stared at by Hong Ling, and his face turned pale with fright. He quickly lowered his head and backed away, staggering out and running out. As a result, he stepped on a broken stone and almost fell down. He held on to the wall and ran away in embarrassment.
On the other side, Bai Xiaofeng and Bai Wuchen each left C-grade room with gloomy faces surrounded by their guards.
Although the two were forcibly separated by the great elder Bai Yan, the anger in their hearts did not diminish at all.
Bai Xiaofeng clenched his fists and cursed secretly in his heart.
"If this bitch hadn't interfered, Jiang Donghua would have agreed to be my exclusive alchemist! Third brother, this bastard, is always against me!"
Bai Wuchen was shaking the folding fan, seemingly calm, but there was a coldness in his eyes.
"Ninth brother, you are such a reckless man, do you think you can win people's hearts with a few low-level pill recipes?"
"Oh, if he hadn't caused trouble, I would have used Heavenly Snake City's resources to convince Jiang Donghua!"
The two of them were making their own calculations. They both thought that the other had ruined their good deeds, and they wanted to find an opportunity to teach the other a lesson!
Inside C-grade room, Jiang Donghua looked at the ruined courtyard, sighed, and said to Hong Ling beside him.
"Oh, I thought I could get some benefits from whoring for free, but in the end, these two guys had a fight and got nothing."
Hong Ling chuckled, gently touched the dagger at his waist, and said.
"Junior brother, you don't really expect them to obediently give you benefits, do you? These two people are trying to keep each other in check, and no one will let you benefit easily."
Jiang Donghua shrugged, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
"I originally thought that if they hit harder, they might be able to take the opportunity to get something, but it's a pity that Bai Yan came too quickly."
Hong Ling raised an eyebrow.
"Why, you still want them to suffer losses and reap the benefits?"
Jiang Donghua chuckled.
"Of course. Whoever wins among them will have to come and ask me to make elixirs. Then I won't have the final say on the price?"
Hong Ling shook his head and laughed.
"You guys really don't want to take any losses."
Jiang Donghua stretched and said lazily.
"Let's go. Since there's nothing left to do, we should get down to business."
"Business?"
Hong Ling is confused.
Jiang Donghua sat leisurely in the dilapidated courtyard, casually took out a pot of Spirit Tea from Storage Ring, and slowly poured a cup for himself and Hong Ling.
"Sister, don't worry."
He took a sip, a shrewd light shining in his eyes.
"What we have to do now is to stay here and not go anywhere."
Hong Ling raised an eyebrow.
"Oh? Aren't you afraid that the two young masters will come back to find you?"
Jiang Donghua chuckled lightly.
"They have too much time to take care of themselves right now."
He raised his hand and pointed outside.
"Heavenly Snake City Lord not only gave birth to these two sons. They fought here today and everyone knew about it. What do you think the other brothers and sisters will think?"
Hong Ling is thoughtful.
"You mean someone will come to you?"
Jiang Donghua nodded.
"That's right. These two idiots are fighting among themselves in public. It's obvious that they are competing for resources. And an alchemist who can make two young masters fight for their heads, do you think others will not be tempted?"
Hong Ling couldn't help but laugh.
"You guys are so cunning."
Jiang Donghua shrugged.
"This is called sitting and waiting for the food to be collected."
Hong Ling looked at Jiang Donghua's confident look, feeling both admiration and helplessness in his heart.
"Alchemists are indeed troublesome guys."
She muttered to herself.
On the Battle Qi Continent, the alchemist's connections and influence far exceed those of strong people of the same level. Even if he is just Fourth-grade Alchemist, he can make Dou Ling and Dou Wang strong people flock to him.
"Fortunately I followed him."
Hong Ling The corner of his mouth raised slightly, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
She didn't stay with Jiang Donghua just to be a protective shield.
"Just wait, one day I will let you be my man willingly!"
She gently held the dagger at her waist, thinking silently in her mind.
Inside C-grade room, the distinguished guests who were enjoying tea quietly could no longer hold back and started talking in low voices.
"Tsk, tsk, Third Young Master and Ninth Young Master actually fought in front of everyone, this is a rare thing!"
A middle-aged man in a luxurious brocade robe squinted his eyes and tapped his fingers on the table, with a hint of playfulness in his tone.
"Isn't that right? I heard it's because of the alchemist named Jiang Donghua."
An old man with a lean face next to him lowered his voice, with a shrewd light shining in his eyes.
"For two young masters to argue like this, it seems that this person is indeed not a simple person."
"Hmph, the young masters of Heavenly Snake City have always fought openly and secretly, but it is rare for them to do so directly like today."
A veiled woman chuckled and played with a jade talisman on her fingertips.
"It seems that the value of this alchemist is higher than we imagined."
After hearing this, everyone nodded thoughtfully.
The news spread quickly throughout Heavenly Snake City as if it had wings.
"Oh? The third child and the ninth child are fighting?"
Eldest Young Master Bai Wuya was wiping a long sword with a cold light. Hearing this, he paused slightly and raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
"For an alchemist?"
"Yes, Eldest Young Master.
"The guard kneeling on the ground said respectfully.
"It is said that the master is Fourth-grade Alchemist, and both young masters want to win over him."
"Oh, two idiots."
Bai Wuya snorted coldly, with a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.
"A mere Fourth-grade Alchemist, is he worth such a gaffe?"
He slowly sheathed his sword and spoke in a solemn tone.
"However, since they care so much, I would like to see what this Jiang Donghua is capable of."
"Third brother and ninth brother are fighting?"
Fifth Young Lady Bai Qingshuang was pruning a spiritual flower. Hearing this, he paused with his fingers and the petals fell silently.
"Yes, Miss, it is said that she is competing for an alchemist."
The maid whispered.
Bai Qingshuang put down the scissors gently, a trace of thought flashed in his eyes.
"To make Third Brother and Ninth Brother lose their composure, this person is by no means simple."
She pondered for a moment and suddenly showed a meaningful smile.
"Go and prepare a generous gift. I want to meet this master in person."
"Hahaha, good fight!"
Seventh Young Master Bai Wuying sat in the shadows, playing with a dark chess piece in his hand, with a cold light shining in his eyes.
"Lao San and Lao Nin have always been arrogant, but today they are humiliating such a big person in front of everyone. It's really satisfying!"
"Seventh Young Master, do we want it too?"
The man in black beside him asked in a low voice.
"No rush."
Bai Wuying sneered.
"Let them fight first, and then we will take action after they both lose."
With a flick of his fingertips, the chess piece landed firmly on the chessboard, making a crisp sound.
"Fourth-grade Alchemy Master? Hehe, I want to see if he is worth taking action myself."
In just half a day, the news that Third Young Master and Ninth Young Master were fighting over the alchemist had spread throughout Heavenly Snake City.
Some people sneered, thinking that the two young masters were too impulsive, while others were secretly planning to investigate the details of Jiang Donghua; some even started preparing generous gifts, intending to get there first.
At this moment, inside C-grade room, Jiang Donghua was still drinking tea leisurely, as if he didn't care about all this.
Hong Ling glanced at him, half smiling.
"Junior brother, it seems your plan was successful."
Jiang Donghua smiled slightly, with a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes.
"This is just the beginning."
Sure enough, not long after, footsteps could be heard outside C-grade room.
The first person to come to the door was a burly Dou Wang expert, wearing a red battle armor and hanging a giant ax burning with faint flames around his waist. He was obviously practicing the Fire attribute technique. As soon as he entered the door, he laughed boldly.
"Hahaha, Master Jiang, I have long admired your name! My Excellency, Flame Sect, elder Zhao Lie, is here to visit today!"
He waved his hand, and the two followers behind him immediately carried a heavy treasure box. When they opened it, they found a box full of Fire attribute high-end Spirit Material. There were even a few pieces of rare Crimson Flame Crystal Marrow, which were priceless.
"I heard that Master Jiang has extraordinary attainments in alchemy. These Spirit Material should be considered as a meeting gift!"
Jiang Donghua smiled slightly and cupped his hands.
"Elder Zhao You're welcome."
Hong Ling stood aside, scanning those Spirit Material, thinking to himself.
"This guy is willing to spend a lot of money."
Immediately afterwards, another number Dou Wang expert came to the door one after another, giving various gifts, some of which even made people laugh or cry.
A woman named Dou Wang from Mystic Ice Valley, as cold as ice, gave her a plant of Snow Lingzhi, which is said to help people calm down and concentrate, and is of great benefit to alchemists.
A short old man handed over a simple jade slip with a smile and said mysteriously.
"Master Jiang, this is Ancient Pill Recipe Fragment. Although it is incomplete, if you can understand one or two, you will gain a lot!"
Jiang Donghua took the jade slip and scanned it with his spiritual consciousness. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal and smiled.
"Thank you, senior, for your generous gift."
The most outrageous one is Dou Wang from the Joyful Sect. This person has a feminine face and is followed by two charming maids. As soon as he enters the door, he holds his hands and smiles.
"Master Jiang, I have heard for a long time that your alchemy skills are extraordinary, so I have specially prepared a generous gift for you!"
He clapped his hands, and the two maids immediately stepped forward, their eyes moved, and they said softly.
"My slave has seen Master Jiang~"
Hong Ling frowned, and before Jiang Donghua could speak, he took a step forward and said coldly.
"Sorry, my junior brother is not a womanizer, please take it back."
That Dou Wang was stunned for a moment, then sneered.
"This girl has misunderstood. I just feel that Master Jiang works hard on alchemy and needs someone to take care of her."
Hong Ling snorted coldly, the dagger was slightly unsheathed half an inch, and the cold light flickered.
"Take care of me? As long as I'm here, you won't have to worry about it."
When Dou Wang saw this, a trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he waved his hands quickly.
"I'm so rude, so rude!"
After saying that, he quickly left with the two maids.
Jiang Donghua was holding back laughter and whispered to Hong Ling.
"Senior sister, your rejection is too straightforward, isn't it?"
Hong Ling glanced sideways at him with a dangerous tone.
"What, you can't bear to part with it?"
Jiang Donghua correct color immediately.
"Of course not! Senior sister is wise!"
Although these Dou Wang expert give gifts in various ways, their purpose is surprisingly the same to win over Jiang Donghua!
If a powerless Fourth-grade Alchemy Master can be recruited under his command, the benefits to the sect will be immeasurable!
Even if you can't get him to join directly, it will be much easier to ask for elixirs in the future if he becomes familiar with you.
What's more, the alchemist who can make two young masters Heavenly Snake City fight over each other, how can he be an ordinary person?
For a time, C-grade room was bustling with activity, and Jiang Donghua was able to cope with it with ease, neither offending anyone nor making promises easily.
Hong Ling stood aside with a cold face the whole time. Whenever someone tried to give some special gifts, she would block them back without mercy, as if she was protecting food.
However, beneath this lively appearance, there were a few eyes in the dark watching all of this coldly.
The young masters and ladies of Heavenly Snake City are naturally paying attention to the movements of Jiang Donghua.
"Hmph, a bunch of clowns are worthy enough to win over Jiang Donghua?"
Bai Xiaofeng stood on a tall building in the distance, his eyes full of disdain.
Bai Wuchen shook his folding fan and smiled lightly.
"It seems that my prey has been targeted by many people."
Bai Xiaofeng snorted coldly.
"Third brother, don't think that I don't know what you are planning!"
Bai Wuchen smiled and said nothing, but his eyes became deeper and deeper.
After everyone dispersed, C-grade room finally regained his composure.
Hong Ling closed the door, turned to look at Jiang Donghua, and raised his eyebrows.
"How was it? How was the harvest?"
Jiang Donghua counted the gifts on the table with a smile and nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad, these Spirit Material are enough for me to make several furnaces of high-level elixirs."
Hong Ling hummed softly.
"You're quite leisurely. Now everyone in the city is trying to figure you out. Aren't you afraid of being forcibly kidnapped one day?"
Jiang Donghua laughed, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
"What are you afraid of? The more they fight, the higher my value becomes. Besides, don't I still have my senior sister to protect me?"
He looked at Hong Ling and blinked.
Hong Ling rolled his eyes at him, but the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"Glib tongue."
The reason why Jiang Donghua is so calm and unhurried, and even dares to fish in a place like Heavenly Snake City where dragons and snakes are mixed, is naturally because of his support.
While he tasted Spirit Tea leisurely, he glanced at Hong Ling out of the corner of his eye.
"Hehe, senior sister indeed has the master's jade plaque on her body."
Jiang Donghua smiled secretly in his heart.
"It seems that the old man still doesn't trust me, so he asked my senior sister to keep an eye on me."
He had no fear that he would be in real danger.
After all, if someone really dares to do something dirty to him, Hong Ling only needs to crush the jade token, and Mo Xuan will definitely sense it immediately.
When the time comes Heavenly Snake City, not many people will dare to bear the wrath of Fifth-grade Alchemist!
What's more, Mo Xuan has been operating in the Jia Nan Academy Outer Court for many years and has a close relationship with Enforcement Team's leaders Tie Xing and Dean of the Outer Court Lei Tian.
If something really happened to Jiang Donghua, with Mo Xuan's protective temperament, he would probably bring these two strong Peak Dou Huang men to his door!
"What's there to be afraid of? This isn't experience. It's clearly gold-plated!"
Jiang Donghua felt proud.
At the same time, Pill Room was far away in the Jia Nan Academy Outer Court.
"Ah sneeze--!"
Mo Xuan was concentrating on controlling the flames when he suddenly sneezed, and the elixir fire in his hand trembled slightly, almost destroying a furnace of Battle Spirit Pill that was about to become elixir.
"That's strange, who is talking about me?"
Mo Xuan rubbed his nose and frowned slightly.
He counted with his fingers and suddenly sneered.
"Hmph, it must be that little brat Dong Hua, causing trouble outside again!"
Although he was scolding, Mo Xuan's eyes flashed with affection.
"That's all, with that girl Hong Ling following us, there shouldn't be any big trouble!"
