The 65th Golden Tiger's Attachment

  Ye Qin sat in a corner of the hall, listening for a while before furrowing his brow. The young master of the Medicine King Gang didn't mention anything about the Medicine Assembly, but instead showed great interest in the anomalies on the trading platform, repeatedly making moves and enthusiastically competing with others in the hall to buy rare treasures at high prices, taking down many items that seemed like precious swords and secret manuals. Of course, these treasures were not bad for ordinary people, but they were of no use to cultivators.

  Huang Zhang just rushed out of the compartment, anxiously looking towards the guests in the main hall. Under the direction of the strong man in a tight-fitting shirt, he soon saw Ye Qin sitting in a remote corner seat in the main hall.

  He was eager to go, but suddenly thought of something and forcibly endured it. At this moment, the high-level elders and hall masters of various gangs in the grand hall were too many, and as the chief elder of the Treasure Gang, every subtle move was extremely eye-catching. He didn't want other gang leaders to know that he had close dealings with that black-clothed man.

  The small treasure trading meeting ended about an hour later, with more than 30 treasures sold. The sky was already dark, the excitement had passed, and the guests gradually dispersed, restoring the tranquility of the third floor of Yongfu Building. Only a few dozen strong men from the Treasure Guard were left on the third floor to guard and be vigilant.

  Huang Zhanglao had been waiting anxiously for a long time and personally hurried over to respectfully invite Ye Qin, who had not yet left, to his private room to discuss matters.

  Ye Qin thought for a moment and agreed. The last time's Qingyu pendant, as well as the remaining Qingyan stone, were almost all used up, he was thinking of finding one or two new spirit stones to cultivate Xianglu grass. This Treasure Pavilion Huang Lao has many precious and strange stones, undoubtedly the most convenient and fastest way to obtain spirit stones.

  In the depths of Old Man Huang's eyes, a hint of satisfaction was hidden. As long as he could establish a connection with this mysterious black-robed man and provide him with the spiritual stones he needed, making him feel satisfied, then his chances of becoming the proxy for this family would become greater and greater, and the distance to becoming the ruler who stood above the top ten sects in Pingzhou's Jianghu would also become closer and closer.

  Huang Zhang ordered his subordinates to keep a distance from the side room of the trading hall, and then warmly invited Ye Qin into his luxurious compartment. Inside the compartment were several large iron trunks of varying sizes, Huang Zhang placed one of the slightly smaller ones on the table, and then opened it with three completely different iron keys he carried with him.

  Inside, there were jade, pearls, agate, sheep fat jade, Qingbai jade, green jade, yellow jade, ink jade, warm jade, and cold jade. There were at least 200-300 pieces of these precious stones, worth tens of thousands of gold leaves.

  "Brother, since you mentioned last time that you needed more spirit stones and spiritual grass, I've been paying attention. I specifically instructed the disciples of my Treasure Pavilion to collect them. The jade stones in this box are all rare and precious ones collected from the disciples of Treasure Pavilion over the past one or two months. However, the spiritual grass is almost entirely controlled by the Medicine King Pavilion, and it's very difficult for my disciples to collect."

  "In the entire city of Zhujia, no one could possibly have more rare and precious jade stones than I, Huang Jintao. Please take a look and see if there's anything you need; choose whatever suits your taste."

  Huang Zhang pointed to the jade stone in the box, with a proud smile on his face. But at the same time, he had a hint of humility that was hard to detect, and a strong ambition hidden deep in his eyes to unify the Pingzhou Jianghu gang. As long as he could achieve this wish, even if it meant kneeling down and calling Ye Qin his father, he would be more than happy.

  Ye Qin nodded slightly, neither affirming nor denying, and took out the jade stones one by one from the box, examining them carefully.

  Huang Zhanglao was slightly tense, staring at Ye Qin's expression, secretly hoping that Ye Qin could pick out one or two pieces of spiritual stone from it, so he could make some requests and see if he could "long-term" serve Ye Qin. If none of the jade stones in the box met the requirements, he really didn't know how to bring up this matter.

  In a short while, Ye Qin had already used his spiritual sight to examine the several hundred rare jade stones in the box. Finally, his gaze was fixed on a white jade embryo, and he picked it up to admire it carefully.

  "Hmm, this white jade embryo, he's familiar with it. It seems to be the treasure of Chunyu Shop in Zhuxi County, a spiritual jade. How did it end up in Old Man Huang's hands?"

  "This piece of white jade was found by one of my junior apprentices in the county town just a few days ago."

  Huang Zhanglao hastily explained, seeing Ye Qin picked up one of the white jade embryos, he let out a big sigh of relief in his heart. This way, he could also take advantage of the situation to make some requests with a thick face.

  Ye Qin directly picked it up. No matter how the Treasure Helping Sect disciples got it, once the jade stone was in his hands, it would never come out again. "How about this piece? How much money? Or I can exchange it with you for a Clear Heart Pill."

  "This brother, I won't take a single penny for this jade. I have a small suggestion: why don't I let Huang Jin Hu specially collect this kind of spiritual jade stone for you and your family in the future, within the eight counties of Pingzhou, thousands of miles away? In this way, I will use the power of the Treasure Helpers to search with all my might, and I must be able to find a large amount of spiritual stones for you. And you won't have to worry about having too few spiritual stones. What do you think of my suggestion?"

  Old Huang cautiously looked at Ye Qin's face and put forward his suggestion.

  Ye Qin was slightly startled.

  What is Huang Zhanglao saying?

  Huang Zhanglao's tone was too humble, even to the point of being overly modest and courteous, as if he were a subordinate or servant, making some kind of request... this change is also a bit too sudden, isn't it?

  Also, 'collecting this spiritual jade stone for him and his family', what does Huang Zhang mean by that? Does he think he's from some family in Pingzhou or something?

  Ye Qin's thoughts flew quickly in her mind, and her gaze towards Huang Zhanglao gradually turned cold.

  Could it be that Old Man Huang actually knew other cultivators before? Old Ghost Nan Tianba once said that in the entire Pingzhou region, only his family was a cultivator family. Of course, that was twenty years ago, and now the Nan family is probably already extinct. Which cultivator family Pingzhou belongs to now is hard to say. Could it be that Old Man Huang knew people from the Nan family twenty years ago, or perhaps he knew other cultivators who appeared in Pingzhou over the past twenty years?

  Ye Qin fell silent.

  In the chilly atmosphere, there was a hint of murderous intent.

  "Huang Zhanglao, what do you mean by this? Not even taking a single coin, do you think I'd swallow your jade stone for nothing?"

  Huang Zhanglao heard this and became anxious, hastily explaining: "No, no, this is just a small thought of mine. It's absolutely not that I think you would swallow the Ling Stone for nothing... I know your family's habits, you wouldn't take the Ling Stone without giving something in return. Let's make an exchange, I'll use the Ling Stone to trade with you."

  Huang Zhanglao now has almost a 100% certainty that the black-clad person in front of him is the mysterious family member he had seen twenty years ago, and this was an excellent opportunity for him to not let himself become their agent slip away from his hands, let alone offend them.

  Ye Qin waved his hand, interrupting Old Man Huang's words. "These are unimportant. I only ask you, where did you know me and my family's matters? Tell me everything you know, otherwise... Hmph, you will know the consequences!"

  Ye Qin's expression was cold and stern as he spoke. This wasn't just an idle threat, but a genuine intention to silence him once and for all.

  The world of immortals outside Zhuge County is a complete mystery to Ye Qin, and it's unknown whether there are other immortals alive in the Pingzhou Nan family. The existence of the Nan family or any other immortal families poses a certain threat to him.

  If Huang Chang's side leaks the news and exposes his existence as a three-layer cultivator in the Refining Qi stage, it may attract stronger four-layer or five-layer cultivators in the Refining Qi stage, which could bring him catastrophic consequences.

  The cruelty of the Immortal Realm, where the strong prey on the weak, can be glimpsed from Nan Tianba's experience. Nan Tianba, who was at the fifth layer of Qi Refining, was killed by a stronger cultivator from the Feng family and fell to the fourth layer. Nan Tianba then engaged in an intense battle with himself within the Purple Mansion.

  All of this put Ye Qin's mind in a state of high alert, being extremely cautious and meticulous.

  So if Huang Changlao can't give him a satisfactory answer, he can only eliminate this potential threat. To kill Huang Changlao is now just a matter of raising his hand, and a Wind Binding Technique will take care of it directly.
