Chapter 385: Yan City, Five Great Families, Yang Family

The next day, just after selling some Medicinal Pill, Sima Shuo was stopped by someone again.

"I am Yang Quan, the Young Master of the Yang Family, one of the Five Great Families in Yan City. I wish to pay a visit to Pill King Green Cliff Elder; please report my presence," a Young Man said with a smile, accompanied by two maids.

"The Young Master of the Yang Family, one of the Five Great Families of Yan City?" Sima Shuo looked at the Young Man in surprise, then glanced at the beautiful maids beside him.

He lowered his head shyly and said, "Wait for me… wait for me to close the door first."

"Please," Yang Quan said, cupping his hands.

Sima Shuo quickly closed the door and led Yang Quan to the front of Qin Ming's bedroom.

Just as Sima Shuo was about to call out for Qin Ming, Yang Quan stopped him and asked in a low voice, "Is your master sleeping?"

Sima Shuo rubbed his head embarrassedly and said, "Yes, my master usually gets up very late."

"Then I will wait outside; I will pay my visit once your master is up," Yang Quan said.

"Alright." Sima Shuo brought Yang Quan to the tea room and poured him a cup of tea, saying, "The tea leaves are not very good, please do not mind."

"I do not mind. Go attend to your business; there is no need to entertain me," Yang Quan said politely.

"Alright, just sit there for a while." Sima Shuo immediately ran to his master's door. From here, he could see the Passage leading to the front hall, preventing anyone from stealing the Medicinal Pill, and he could also wait for his master to wake up.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Qin Ming walked out of the room.

"Master." Just as Sima Shuo was about to tell Qin Ming about Yang Quan, Qin Ming waved his hand and said, "I know. You don't need to worry about it; go practice Alchemy."

"Alright." Sima Shuo glanced at the tea room and ran toward the Alchemy Room.

Qin Ming strode to the tea room.

"I am Yang Quan, the Young Master of the Yang Family, one of the Five Great Families of Yan City." Seeing Qin Ming approach, Yang Quan quickly stood up and cupped his hands.

Qin Ming cupped his hands and said, "Green Cliff Elder. Please, sit."

After the two sat down, the maid poured tea for Qin Ming.

"I wonder what Your Excellency has come to see this old man about?" Qin Ming said after taking a sip of tea.

Yang Quan smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, I heard last time that there was a Pill King at the Yan City Auction House, so I specially sent someone to invite you, but you did not come to our Yang Family. This time, I have come personally in the hope that you might become the Alchemist for our Yang Family."

Qin Ming shook his head and refused, "I am sorry, I do not wish to join anyone else's Family."

Yang Quan smiled awkwardly, not expecting that this Green Cliff Elder would give him no Face at all and refuse directly.

"If you ever wish to join a Family, our Yang Family is always welcoming," Yang Quan said. "I see that you have perfect elixir for sale here; I wonder if I might purchase some."

Qin Ming nodded and said, "That is possible. You may pay the shop price. If you can pay with spirit plant of the fifth grade or above, I will give you a ten percent discount."

"Great!" Yang Quan was overjoyed. "Then I will go home to retrieve the spirit plant."

"Do not rush." Qin Ming handed a ring to Yang Quan. "Let me give you the Medicinal Pill first; you can just send someone over later to give me the spirit plant."

Yang Quan took the ring and scanned it with his Mental Energy. He was delighted; there were quite a few jade bottle inside, surely there must be many perfect elixir, right?

"If you feel it is too much, you may return them," Qin Ming said with a smile.

"Not at all, how could I think it is too much? The more perfect elixir, the better," Yang Quan said with a smile. "Then I will head back first. I will have someone calculate the value of the Medicinal Pill later, and I will have the spirit plant sent over to you very soon."

After speaking, Yang Quan left with his maids.

"This Yang Quan is truly a decent person, at least far better than that so-called Jin Family," Qin Ming thought to himself.

As the Yang Family, one of the Five Great Families, they were able to come and invite him personally, which he already found surprising. That he was also willing to wait was even more remarkable in terms of demeanor.

In the process of interacting with him, Qin Ming felt not a hint of bullying, but rather felt as if he were bathed in a spring breeze, which made him even more surprised.
