My apprentice is a little weird?

The pressure on Jiang Yuanyuan suddenly disappeared, and she excitedly ran to her side and saluted.

The fifth elder nodded with a smile.

"Yuanyuan is doing great. I just got here and have a lot of things to do these days. It's really hard for you to be alone here all the time."

"I came here today to see who will cause trouble~"

She looked at Tiandong without any concealment, her tone was slightly cold, and her aura was pressing towards them.

Tian Dong wanted to retort subconsciously, but after looking at Xia Hong who was silent beside him, he calmed down. He thought for a while, suppressed his anger and chose not to retort, but softened his tone.

"The Phoenix Fire Pill is more suitable for our cultivation than the Red Flame Pill that is unique to our Fiery Fire Sect. It will be of great benefit to our Fiery Fire Sect. That's why we want to buy the recipe for your Phoenix Fire Pill. This is a normal transaction. You can set the conditions. As long as they are not too excessive, we can accept them."

"I won't sell the pill formula. Our Ancient Immortal Sect doesn't sell pill formulas in its external business. This is the rule set by my junior nephew... the founder of the Pill Pavilion... If you want to conduct any form of transaction with us, you must abide by our rules~"

The Fifth Elder's mood inexplicably became a little depressed, and his tone also became cold.

"As for the detailed outline of the rules, you'll have to ask our branch manager, Madoka. She is in charge of all matters in the store, and I have no right to interfere."

As soon as the voice fell, almost everyone's eyes were focused on Jiang Yuanyuan. Most of the outside cultivators looked at her in disbelief. They didn't expect that an ordinary "store manager" could even order the elders of the sect to move!

Tiandong suddenly felt extremely troubled. This was not an introduction at all; it was a slap in the face!

After she said that, if he wanted to discuss this matter again, he would not go to her as the elder, but to the other party's disciple, Jiang Yuanyuan, and directly downgraded his level.

Good man, his Liehuo Sect was already considered a tough guy, the kind that would confront others in the Chengfeng Sword Sect, but this guy today was even tougher! Not only did he reject his request, but he also asked him to abide by their rules? ?

good good!

Elsewhere, Jiang Yan's eyes were somewhat complicated.

"Shen Ming, can you let go of my hand..."

"Hmm~Oh..."

Shen Ming reluctantly let go of Jiang Yan's arm, which had nowhere to put, stared at him with burning eyes and licked the corner of his mouth gently.

"Master~ Just hugging... It's not enough~ Shen Ming wants to..."

"Get lost. I won't do it even if I die."

"........."

Shen Ming couldn't help but smile at Jiang Yan's stubborn face. She opened her jade-like fingers slightly and placed them on Jiang Yan's chin, kneading it.

"Master, I've always heard you talk about the 'True Fragrance Law'. Are you waiting to slap me on purpose~"

Jiang Yan remained calm.

"No, it's a fact that I don't like seafood."

"Also, I seem to have found some suspicious traces."

The amusement in Shen Ming's eyes instantly faded and became sharp, and he instantly got rid of his playful state and became serious.

"Where? Did he lose his cool and show his true colors?"

"Yeah, it seems like that."

Jiang Yan nodded slightly and moved his chin in a certain direction.

"Based on my recent observations and the intelligence you have gathered with your talent, Ming'er, I can roughly guess her purpose and approximate location of activities."

"His original goal was not Shan Pao. The encounter with him and the planting of the seeds were probably accidental events. His main goal was to concentrate the five elements, mainly the gold of the five elements, whether it was the essence or the gold-attributed magical instruments~"

"It's like... I need to use it to accomplish something."

“And the most important thing”

Jiang Yan paused for a moment, his eyes solemn.

"We seem to know him..."

There was murderous intent in Shen Ming's eyes, but she restrained herself well.

"Master, the talent that allows him to avoid me means that he has a deep connection with the abyss. Since he is looking for the gold of the five elements, why don't we help him~ set up a trap for him~"

"Not really. He's too patient. Apart from the initial flash of emotion, he never showed any signs of emotion. This shows how cautious and cunning he is. Even if he showed his emotions, it was only after he suddenly met me that he couldn't control himself."

"And the few traces we found are just traces. Even if the five elements of gold are extremely precious, I'm afraid it won't be able to lure him out... unless I come..."

Shen Ming heard the deep meaning in Jiang Yan's words, but she didn't want to do that. She closed her eyes gently and frowned, trying to think of another plan.

But Jiang Yan's big hand fell on her head and rubbed it gently, his voice gentle.

"It doesn't matter. It's just a matter of time before I'm exposed."

"Master..."

Shen Ming's eyes were complicated and he clenched and unclenched his fingers.

"Okay...but Master, you have to be careful. I'll wait for you..."

"Don't set a flag!"

"oh………"

…………

Inside the Ancient Immortal Sect branch, the two sides were still in a stalemate, but on the surface, the Ancient Immortal Sect had the upper hand.

If Tian Dong retreated at this point, the Liehuo Sect would lose face. To fight against him… If he had been arrogant and contemptuous before, he saw that the strength of the other party, who was just an elder, was almost the same as his.

In addition, his nephew is also here at the moment, and he is afraid that he will be affected by the fight, so he cannot fight.

For a moment, I was worried about whether to advance or retreat, and the situation was stuck in a stalemate.

"Um...Fellow Daoist Yuan, is my investment still worth it?"

At this time, a weak voice sounded from behind Tiandong. It was his nephew Xia Hong.

He was slightly moved in his heart, but remained calm on the surface.

The fifth elder glanced at the other person casually and then moved away lightly, waving his hand to indicate that he would discuss the matter with Jiang Yuanyuan.

Jiang Yuanyuan took a deep breath, full of confidence, took two steps forward, smiled brightly, and spoke in a sweet voice.

"If you are still willing, then of course I will invest."

After hearing this, Xia Hong was about to agree immediately, but Tian Dong in front of her tried to stop her.

"Wait, what are you going to sign with my Xia Hong?!"

Jiang Yuanyuan hesitated for half a second.

"Senior... would you like to listen?"

Tian Dong frowned, glanced at the fifth elder imperceptibly, and nodded slightly.

"speak."

Jiang Yuanyuan was delighted. She took out the cloud mirror projection with one hand and gestured with the other hand behind her back to ask the errand disciples to cooperate with her. The whole process was simple, fast and clear.

It vividly demonstrated to Tiandong what "shareholding", "investment" and "dividends" mean.

The other party's expression changed from vigilance and disdain at first, to solemn astonishment, and then to shock!

In the end, it just came out of my mouth.

"Is this possible? Who came up with this?!"

Jiang Yuanyuan raised her head with pride.

"This is what our sect once had..."

"Yuanyuan~"

"Ahem... this... involves our sect's secrets and cannot be passed on to outsiders~"
