Chapter 204 I should have known not to praise you

After

  Yanrong's persuasion, Lu Rong was convinced by her.

  Seeing that he agreed, Yanrong also breathed a sigh of relief.

  There are risks in talking about this matter. For example, if the truth comes out, it will affect Jingrong's reputation, and if it really cannot be sold, it may be a loss for them.

  But, what does that have to do with me?

  She could run away at any time!

  If Lu Rong really made money, she could share the money. If he failed, she would not lose anything, because it was not her money that was used to buy the elixir.

  For him, it was just a matter of touching his upper lip with his lower lip, so why not?

  Lu Rong made a decision and planned to go find Qiao Laohei right away.

  "Brother Rong, I'm sure you can do it. I'll wait for your good news."

  Yanrong raised her head and looked at him with starry eyes. Sure enough, she saw that Lu Rong seemed to be greatly encouraged. He held his head high and walked away with his head held high.

  Yanrong sneered, tidied her clothes and hair, and then leisurely returned to the tavern.

  "Fairy Yanrong, you just talked about the piece of music really well!"

  "Yeah, would we have the honor of buying you a drink?"

  "Fairy Yanrong, this is the hairpin I bought for you when I passed by the jewelry store. Do you like it?"

  …

  As soon as she arrived, several men with bright eyes surrounded her.

  Yanrong's innocent face flushed slightly, as if she was a little flattered, "Thank you...but I don't accept anything, it's not appropriate."

  Her appearance made the men even more obsessed. The man holding the hairpin forced it into her hand and stood there grinning as if he was honored.

  "...Thank you, sir. I will take good care of it." She said timidly.

  The man was so fascinated by her that he almost lost his mind and nodded repeatedly.

  "But I can't drink with you anymore. I have to go practice the piano. Excuse me." She bowed, then walked away with the piano in her arms, leaving several men staring at her back in a daze.

  This wine cannot be drunk. Drinking it will give people a worldly feeling and she will no longer be able to maintain her purity and elegance.

  Besides, once you agree to drink, you will inevitably be taken advantage of by these men.

  She didn't know when Lu Rong would come back, and it would be bad if he saw her.

  If there is anything good about Yanrong, it is probably her "loyalty". When she is with a man, she will only be with him and will not have any close relationship with other men in the meantime.

  It is precisely because of this that she will never capsize in a small ditch. No matter when Lu Rong comes, he will only see her pure and aloof side, which makes him more infatuated with her and willing to spend money on her.

  There is a lot of knowledge in every trade!

  Lu Rong went out, bought some small gifts on the way, and then went straight to Qiao Laohei's shop.

  But what made him uncomfortable was that after he told him his purpose, Qiao Laohei directly refused.

  "Why is that?" he asked.

  Qiao Laohei waved his hands, "I also want a reputation. Although I don't owe anything to the Xianlai Sect, in the eyes of others, my father and I owe them a favor. If I go and resell the Breakthrough Pill at this juncture, what will I become? I still have to continue doing business, and I can't lose my reputation!"

  Lu Rong laughed, "Don't worry, I'll do it, and I won't expose you."

  "Why not? You Jingrong and Xianlai Sect have an old grudge. If you suddenly start selling breakthrough pills, anyone with a discerning eye will know that there is something fishy going on!" Qiao Laohei frowned, looking very resistant. "Please go back. I can't help you with this matter."

  "Brother Qiao, you should reconsider it. If we cooperate, I guarantee you will make a lot of money."

  "Haha, if I sell the pills myself, I can get a high price. Why should I ask you for a share? That's unnecessary! Go away!"

  Lu Rong wanted to persuade him again, but Qiao Laohei just sent him away.

  Lu Rong looked at him, but he was not depressed. He even left with a smile.  

  He went back to find Yanrong.

  "He refused."

  Yanrong was a little disappointed, "Ah? You didn't try to persuade her again?"

  "It's normal that he can't accept it for a while. Give him some time to think about it." Lu Rong said calmly.

  Yanrong was puzzled, "You don't seem worried at all?"

  How come he seemed to be in a good mood after making such a wasted trip?

  "You don't understand. The more he behaves like this, the more relieved I feel." Lu Rong raised his eyebrows and smiled. "It's only natural for him to refuse outright. Otherwise, if he agreed right away, I would think there was a trap."

  Lu Rong couldn't describe the feeling in his heart, but he found it a bit coincidental that he heard the story.

  Perhaps because it was related to the Xianlai Sect, he was always on guard and was therefore extra careful.

  That's why Lu Rong felt relieved after being impatiently rejected by Qiao Laohei, because if he were in his place, he would have done the same thing as Qiao Laohei.

  If one trip doesn't work, try the second or third trip.

  Anyway, the next batch of breakthrough pills will not be delivered for another month, so there is no need to rush.

  Next time he goes, he plans to bring a more expensive gift.

  Seeing that he did not give up this business, Yanrong could not help but smile expectantly. She leaned on Lu Rong's shoulder and said, "Brother Rong, you are really amazing. It seems that everything is within your expectations."

  "Oh, that's it, don't you see who I am?"

  "Yes, yes, you are the best. Otherwise, why would I fall in love with you?"

  "Haha, your little mouth looks like it's covered with honey. Come and let me have a taste. Is it sweet too..."

  "...Hate!"

  It's so annoying. I can't avoid it today!

  I shouldn't have praised it earlier.

  …

  Mo Jiuwei and Meng Ling's retreat lasted a total of ten days.

  Modifying a magic tool is different from making a magic tool. Making a magic tool can play to its strengths and avoid its weaknesses, and only make the form and materials that you are good at.

  However, improving magical tools is different. You need to be familiar with all kinds of materials and forms, and quickly identify the most important part of a magical tool that affects its power. You also need to know how to improve it to make it better.

  A few days ago, Mo Jiuwei did not let Meng Ling start refining directly, but took out all the magic weapons and asked her to talk about their advantages and disadvantages one by one.

  Meng Ling was still stumbling at the beginning, because it was only then that she realized how inadequate her knowledge was. She couldn't even distinguish the materials used in some magic weapons.

  Whenever this happened, Mo Jiuwei would supplement her with knowledge in this area, then take out the next item and ask her to speak again.

  Those magical weapons covered a variety of cultivation stages, materials and shapes, requiring a wide range of knowledge. When Meng Ling had made up for his knowledge, it was finally not so difficult to look at them again.

  After that, Mo Jiuwei instructed Meng Ling to refine two magical weapons.

  This short retreat was not enough to turn Meng Ling into an excellent weapon master immediately, but at least her problems had been exposed and pointed out by Mo Jiuwei, and she now had a direction to continue working hard to improve.

  All she needs is the baptism of time and continuous efforts to transform herself.
