Volume 3 Nine Pattern Golden Pill Chapter 2 Bureau
Compared to traveling thousands of miles to the South China Sea, the journey back to Qingzhou is much easier.
In the capital cities of all the major prefectures, there must be teleportation arrays.
Therefore, Lu Qingshan only needs to go through a few more teleportation arrays and he can reach the various prefectures of Qingzhou without any effort.
In the flickering light and shadow, Lu Qingshan and Qin Yitian appeared in the teleportation array.
"We're here." Lu Qingshan said to Qin Yitian, "Qingzhou, Lingxu Prefecture."
When Tan Tai Qingrun said goodbye to him, she told him that her next place of work would be Lingxu Mansion in Qingzhou, and told Lu Qingshan that if he wanted to go back to Zhishou Tower after his business was done, he could find her at any time.
With such a powerful backer willing to protect him, Lu Qingshan did not hesitate and headed straight for Lingxu Mansion with a clear purpose.
Of course, in addition to Tan Tai Qingrun, Lu Qingshan had a more important reason to come to Lingxu Mansion.
The copy of Lingyuan Mansion... According to the description in the expansion pack, it seems that there is a chance to obtain an immortal book...
After arriving at Lingxu Mansion, Lu Qingshan immediately took out a communication token from his storage ring.
The communication mark above is from Xiao Zhi.
If I remember correctly, he should have come to Lingxu Mansion with Tan Tai Qingrun.
Lu Qingshan thought so.
The three monks from Zhenjiang Tower were still speaking out for Tan Tai Qingrun with indignation on their faces.
At this moment, Xiao Zhi suddenly frowned slightly, reached his right hand into his arms, and took out a communication token.
There was a faint light flashing on the token.
The communication mark on this token belongs to Lu Qingshan.
The communication token will only work within a certain distance.
After parting with Lu Qingshan in Zhenjiang, this token has not been used for a long time.
Now there is a sudden noise. Doesn’t this mean that Lu Qingshan is in Lingxu City at this moment?
"..." Xiao Zhi hesitated for a moment, then released his spiritual sense to probe into the communication token and receive the spiritual message.
The next moment, Xiao Zhi exclaimed in great surprise: "He's here!"
"Who's here?" Zuo Tao asked in confusion when he saw Xiao Zhi suddenly became excited.
"A helper who can turn the tide and sort out the situation for the owner of Tan Tai Tower!" Xiao Zhi said excitedly.
"ah?"
Zuo Tao and Zhong Mian were both puzzled.
"I'll explain it to you in detail later. I'll go find him now." Xiao Zhi said hurriedly and left quickly, leaving Zuo Tao and Zhong Mian looking at each other.
"What did Xiao Zhi just say?" Zhong Mian asked uncertainly, "Did he say that someone could help the owner of Tan Tai Tower save the situation?"
Zuo Tao was also a little hesitant: "He seemed to say this..."
However, under such a situation, what kind of person can turn the tide?
Zuo Tao and Zhong Mian both found it hard to believe.
…
Next to the teleportation array.
Lu Qingshan and Qin Yitian stood side by side, both of them had extraordinary demeanor, attracting the gazes of the monks guarding the teleportation array to glance at them frequently.
A moment later.
A male cultivator with a round face came into Lu Qingshan's sight.
"You haven't been waiting long." Xiao Zhi saw Lu Qingshan and hurriedly came forward, unable to hide the joy on his face.
"Huh..." When he got closer, Xiao Zhi noticed Qin Yitian standing beside him.
Seeing Qin Yitian standing beside Lu Qingshan, who was gentle and charming, and who seemed to be very close and harmonious with Lu Qingshan, Xiao Zhi guessed uncertainly, "Lu Qingshan, is this your Taoist partner?"
No way? It's only been half a year since I left, and Lu Qingshan already has a Taoist partner?
Qin Yitian said calmly: "Although what you said is not wrong, the relationship between Lu Qingshan and I is indeed not what you think."
"I am guilty of the offense." Xiao Zhi apologized quickly.
Qin Yitian shook his head to indicate that it was okay.
"How's the situation here?" Lu Qingshan asked.
Lu Qingshan's question seemed to open up Xiao Zhi's conversation, and he immediately started talking to Lu Qingshan about the humiliation he had suffered in Lingxu Building over the past six months.
After a long time, when Xiao Zhi finished speaking, Lu Qingshan also understood what was going on. After a moment of silence, he said softly, "Take me to see Tan Tai Qing Run first."
"Okay, come with me," Xiao Zhi nodded, "Master Tantai will definitely be very happy to see you back!"
Lu Qingshan's mind flashed with the delicate yet always cold face of Tan Tai Qing Run. He curled his lips and said, "That's hard to say."
…
Ding ding ding!
Tan Tai Qingrun was flipping through the pile of jade slips on the table when he heard the warning sound from the prohibition at the door. He knew someone was waiting outside the door, so he put down the jade slip in his hand and said coldly, "Come in."
The door was pushed open.
Tan Tai Qingrun, who originally had a frosty face, his pupils shrank slightly uncontrollably when he saw Xiao Zhi walking in with Lu Qingshan and Qin Yitian.
But Tan Tai Qing Run quickly calmed down, as if he hadn't seen Qin Yi Tian, and said to Lu Qing Shan calmly, "Are you back?"
At this time, Xiao Zhi had already very tactfully retreated, leaving the space for the three of them.
In response to Tan Tai Qing Run's question, Lu Qing Shan nodded casually and said nonchalantly, "If I don't come back, I don't know how much more anger Tan Tai Tower Master will have to endure."
Hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Tan Tai Qingrun frowned coldly. For some reason, when there were other women present, she subconsciously did not want to admit her predicament in front of Lu Qingshan.
But the words of denial were on the tip of her tongue but she didn't say them in the end, as if she understood that it was useless to deny it in the face of the facts.
After a long silence, Tan Tai Qing Run pursed his lips and asked, "Do you have a solution?"
"I'm not sure yet. Xiao Zhi told me the general situation when I just came here, but in order to find a breakthrough, I need to have a deep understanding of all the details. Master Tan Tai, please tell me in detail." Lu Qingshan said leisurely.
Tan Tai Qingrun glanced at Qin Yitian and said nothing.
"She is Qin Yitian, um... someone who can be completely trusted. There is no need to avoid her." Lu Qingshan understood Tan Tai Qingrun's meaning, thought about it, and explained.
Tan Tai Qingrun's eyelids sank slightly, and seeing Lu Qingshan say so, she did not raise any other objections, and slowly explained the current dilemma she was facing.
…
For nearly a hundred years, for some unknown reason, Lingxu Tower seemed to be led by the nose in the confrontation with the Lingxu Underworld. It suffered repeated setbacks and heavy losses, and the situation was extremely bad.
The Qingzhou main building of Zhishou Tower had wanted to change the miserable situation of Lingxu Tower many times, but in the past hundred years, turmoil had been brewing and major events had occurred frequently, so they were unable to get away for the time being, and the matter was put on hold for the time being.
Until the city of Zhenjiang was almost destroyed because of the corpse puppet rebellion launched by the underworld.
Under such circumstances, most of the monks in Zhenjiang Tower were punished for dereliction of duty, and the tower owner Chu He was directly dismissed and transferred back to the main building in Qingzhou.
However, there were a small number of people in Zhenjiang Tower who not only escaped punishment, but even received generous rewards from Zhishou Tower.
Tan Tai Qingrun is one of these very few people.
She first served as the owner of Yuanshan City, where she cleared out the underworld forces in Yuanshan City and made outstanding contributions, thus being promoted to deputy owner of Zhenjiang Tower.
She has only been working in Zhenjiang Building for less than a month and is still in the stage of getting familiar with the environment.
Therefore, the fall of Zhenjiang City was obviously due to the previous negligence, and had little to do with her just taking office.
Not to mention, if Tan Tai Qingrun had not discovered the traces of the underworld cultivators lurking in Zhenjiang City, and had not decisively launched an attack and sent a request for help to the Qingzhou main building in advance, the losses in this Zhenjiang City riot would have been much more severe.
Since he was not only blameless but also meritorious, the monks of the Qingzhou main building took into consideration the difficulties of the Lingxu Building and simply transferred Tan Tai Qingrun to the Lingxu Mansion.
If this time, Tan Tai Qingrun can still make real achievements and wipe out the years of decline of Lingxu Tower, he will definitely be valued by Zhishou Tower.
Tan Tai Qingrun was naturally not afraid of the challenge, so he obeyed the order and came to Lingxu Mansion.
But she didn't expect that the situation in Lingxu Tower would be so dire. Before she even officially fought with the underworld, she was already stumped by her own teammates.
"The reason why Lingxu Tower has been defeated in recent years is not only because of the clever methods of Lingxu Underworld, but also largely due to the inaction of the high-level cultivators of Lingxu Tower!" Tan Tai Qingrun scolded in a cold voice: "These high-level cultivators of Lingxu Tower only think about how to protect their own interests. Instead, they put eradicating the Underworld in second place or even behind."
"So, the owner of Lingxu Tower is not actually on Yiyuan's side as Xiao Zhi said." Lu Qingshan had a very clear understanding of the situation of Lingxu Tower from Tan Tai Qingrun's narration. He thought, "The bigger reason is that they are a community of interests. The reason is very simple. They have been doing nothing for so many years. If you come and make achievements that they have not made in a hundred years, it will not only prove your outstanding ability, but also show how incompetent these masters of Lingxu Tower are. At that time, Yiyuan will not be the only one who will be unlucky."
Tan Tai Qing Run was silent, biting her teeth and said, "On the surface, these people have no resistance to me. They seem to do everything according to my instructions, but in fact, they are pretending to obey and not doing anything right. The owner of Lingxu Tower is even more of an old fox. He says that he will fully cooperate with me, but in fact, he has been playing Tai Chi. I want to check the intelligence materials collected and sorted by Lingxu Tower in the past hundred years, but all I can find is the superficial things. The real core intelligence is obviously hidden by them."
Lu Qingshan frowned.
The several major repairmen of Lingxu Building may be doing nothing in their respective duties, but they are indeed very good at using these little tricks.
On the surface, he was obedient to Tan Tai Qing Run, but in fact, he was not putting in any effort.
This way of dealing with things meant that even if Tan Tai Qing Run wanted to report to the main building, he would be unable to do so.
"It's really difficult to deal with the problem now that the channel for intelligence has been cut off." Lu Qingshan murmured.
Even if it is just a one-on-one life-and-death fight, the person who knows the opponent's methods will increase his chances of winning by several percentage points. Not to mention this kind of confrontation between organizations, the importance of intelligence is a hundred times greater.
Seeing Lu Qingshan frowning and lost in thought, Tan Tai Qingrun added, "The Tan Tai family has a certain amount of power in Lingxu Mansion, so I have used the family's power to investigate the situation in Lingxu Building. On the surface, several masters of Lingxu Building are in direct confrontation with the Underworld, and Yi Yuan even almost died in an operation to siege the Underworld. Therefore, the possibility of collusion between the masters and the Underworld is still relatively low at present. Since the possibility of collusion is not high, in the confrontation between Lingxu Building and the Underworld, such a shameful force as the Underworld can repeatedly win big victories. What I suspect is that the Underworld should have colluded with a major force in Lingxu Mansion."
"Smart." Lu Qingshan praised, coming back to his senses from his contemplative state, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
