Chapter 2573 special way
Chu Mingjia met the second son of the Xiao family, and through the other party's relationship, he got the opportunity to meet Xiao Pisheng. The second son didn't care about him coming to find Xiao Pisheng under the guise of doing formation business. After bringing back the good news, he led him through some courtyards of Xiaomen and finally came to a single-family house.
"Young Master Chu, my father is here. If you have anything to do, you can tell me that I can help you."
Naturally, the second son of the Xiao family would not make any promises. If he could help Chu Mingjia see his father, he felt that he was already good to Chu Mingjia.
Chu Mingjia did not reveal what he came to find his father for. Obviously, Chu Mingjia used himself as a springboard, and came to Xiaomen just to see his father.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao!" Chu Ming clasped his fists.
The second son of the Xiao family nodded: "Mr. Chu, I still have some things to leave Xiao's gate and go to another place to deal with. I'm sorry I can't entertain Mr. Chu."
This is telling Chu Mingjia that after seeing his father, don’t continue to come to him, so as not to ask for help from him again.
Chu Ming's posture of holding his fists on his cheeks did not change, and he said with a smile: "Next time I will come to visit the second young master, and I will definitely have a drink and have fun with the second young master."
After stepping into the courtyard, Chu Mingjia slapped the wooden door in front. An old man opened the door and after learning his name, he welcomed Chu Mingjia in. Obviously, the second son of the Xiao family had told the butler.
Chu Mingqi soon met Xiao Pisheng. The latter's age seemed to be similar to Chu Xiangtian, but compared to Chu Xiangtian, it had the aura of a superior.
"After all, my father chose to live in seclusion, liked to live a life of leisurely clouds and wild cranes, and dealt with ordinary people around him. His temperament was as generous as the wealthy businessman who had retired from his hometown. This friend of my father chose power."
Chu Mingjia thought to himself that if his father was "resurrected" and resumed contact with Xiao Pisheng, it would be difficult for the two to have the best relationship his father said. After all, the life direction they chose is completely different now.
After paying respect to Xiao Pisheng, Chu Ming sat in the seat at the bottom of his head, looking very formal, only dared to sit halfway through his butt and straighten his spine.
"Nephew, we haven't met for almost forty years, right?" Xiao Pisheng smiled and took the initiative to mention Chu Xiangtian. "I remember that at that time, your father was also playing chess and exchanging experience in formation. Alas, it would be great if Brother Xiangtian was still there."
Xiao Pisheng still didn't understand the reason why Chu Mingjia suddenly came to visit.
The other party has not had business dealings with the Xiao family over the years, and the relationship has disappeared early. Of course, he doesn't blame Chu Mingjia for being ignorant. The friendship in the cultivation world is not the kind in the secular world. He has a friendship with Chu Xiangtian, but this kind of friendship will not be useful when facing Chu Xiangtian's son. Chu Mingjia has not visited him for years, but he is satisfied. Otherwise, Chu Mingjia would really ask for help, which would be a problem.
For example now.
Although I couldn't guess the specific reason why Chu Mingjia came, I guess I wanted to ask him for help if I had something to do.
"My father used to mention Uncle Xiao in front of me. My nephew has not visited my uncle for so many years. It was my nephew's fault. Please forgive me."
Chu Mingqi stood up and bowed, but his etiquette was impeccable.
After a few greetings, Xiao Pisheng was the first to get to the point. After all, his time was limited, so I agreed.
After meeting Chu Mingjia, he did not plan to greet Chu Mingjia, but only recalled his previous friendship with Chu Xiangtian.
"Is there anything wrong with my nephew coming to see me this time?"
He had also paid attention to Chu Mingjiao and knew that the other party was a formation master, but perhaps it was because of the teachings of the formation master Chu Xiangtian, or he had no intention. In short, Chu Mingjiao's formation skills were ordinary. He heard that the formation business he was running was even more messy, and he didn't know whether he would come here this time to ask questions about formation problems or to do business with the Xiao family.
"There is something," Chu Mingqi hoped that Xiao Pisheng could help, and said with expectations, "Uncle Xiao should also know that my nephew runs a store that does formation business. After my father disappeared, the business became more and more difficult. Today, he came with shamelessness just to ask my uncle to help and give him some business channels. My nephew wanted to make the business of the store better."
Then, Chu Mingjia expressed his abrupt and sincere grievance. The scene of asking for help is not ugly, but the intention of asking for help is very obvious.
Seeing this, Xiao Pi was very loud. He never knew that Chu Mingjia would ask the Xiao family for help so naked. This request was too direct!
And he had only one idea, which was to refuse.
It was not because he was uncomfortable by Chu Mingjia's straightforward request. No matter how Chu Mingjia asked the Xiao family for help, he would refuse. At most, he was just how polite the decline was.
This is because the friendship between Chu Mingjia and the Xiao family is far from being able to let the Xiao family help this.
One is one, two is two. Today he can take out a little spirit stone to send Chu Mingjia away, just as he is a supporter of his juniors, but he will never have any contact with Chu Mingjia in business, because once there is a deal, Chu Mingjia is one of the business partners, and he can promote it under this banner. The Xiao family has never strictly selected those with strong strength and those who meet their standards. Obviously, Chu Mingjia does not meet this standard at all.
For the so-called friendship, the standards for Chu Mingjia were lowered, and doing so would only smash the Xiao family's golden signboard.
Xiao Pisheng then found a reason to show that he could not help Chu Mingjia's request. He did not break up, and he had no intention of looking down on Chu Mingjia at all on the surface, so that the other party could not find any fault.
Although Chu Mingjia was unwilling to give up, he continued to ask several times. Xiao Pisheng still complained, saying that the Xiao family had difficulties and the Xiao family could not help. He told Chu Mingjia directly that he would not help.
"Uncle Xiao, can't I really help with this busyness?" Chu Mingqi tried his best.
Xiao Pisheng shook his head helplessly, but in fact he had decided not to make any concessions.
"Oh." Chu Mingqi sighed in his heart.
As my father expected, after losing his father's influence, he could not rely on his shallow friendship to let Xiao Pisheng help this.
It would be useless to ask for it. If he didn't think of other solutions as soon as possible, he would have to go back empty-handed. After Xiao Pisheng rejected him, the next step would be to send him off with tactfulness.
"Only one move can be used."
Chu Mingqiu's mind was a little hesitant. After all, it was not absolutely necessary, so he really didn't want to use it. But the next moment Chu Mingqiu saw Xiao Pisheng's gaze was already looking at the door, and he would definitely ask him to leave the next moment, so he felt ruthless, "Uncle, then I will contribute a formation drawing. The magic circle recorded in the drawings is definitely something that my uncle is interested in. My nephew wants to use it.
This drawing is used to exchange for my uncle's direct support for my nephew."
Chu Mingjia planned to replace the top-grade spirit stone with the formation drawings.
Although his father Chu Xiangtian warned him and signed a ban on the customer surnamed Chen, he is now a pauper and can't care so much. The most important thing is to sell the drawings of the magic circle to Xiao Pisheng, so he can get the spirit stone without worrying about being cheated.
"Sell us the formation drawings?" Xiao Pisheng was not interested. "If the nephew lacks spirit stones, my uncle will give you some of them."
"Uncle Xiao can make a decision after reading the information about this magic circle." Chu Mingqi looked full of confidence.
This made Xiao Pisheng a little unexpected. At this moment, Chu Mingqi took out the scroll again, so Xiao Pisheng took the scroll and opened it. After a few glances, his eyes concentrated.
After about a stick of incense, Xiao Pisheng raised his head: "This magic array is related to the launching energy. Is there no matching launching device?"
"No," Chu Mingqi said, "but this magic array alone is very special. It can specially compress various energy and then launch it. Once the arrangement is completed, I am afraid that the Nascent Soul cultivator can control it casually, and the attacks issued under the blessing of the magic array can cause danger to the powerful god-transforming powerhouses, which is of great value."
"This is true. Where did the nephew get this?" Xiao Pisheng didn't know if Chu Mingqi had any drawings for refining the launch device, but he had to admit that it was rare to have special launch power alone, and it was very useful.
"I discovered it when I sorted out my father's things before. I have comprehended it. Due to the limited ability to set up the formation, I have been unable to comprehend it for a long time. In addition, the store business has been bleak recently and life is difficult, so I wanted to sell the formation drawings to Uncle Xiao." Chu Mingqi said this, so that Xiao Pisheng would not doubt other aspects.
"So that's it. OK. I bought the formation drawings. The price is easy to say. How will my nephew sell me the complete version of the drawings?"
The formation drawings that Xiao Pisheng is holding now are not complete and lacking. If he can rely on himself to supplement the entire formation, it will be too late. It may take one or two years. It is obviously not cost-effective, so it is better to get the complete formation drawings directly.
"Uncle, that's right. I plan to hand over all the formation drawings to you in five months. You can pay a portion of my deposit first, and settle the remaining part in five months."
Chu Mingqi's way of selling things is a bit special.
Although he violated his father's warning and the sealing order signed with the guests and sold the formation drawings to outsiders, he still wanted to try his best to avoid trouble.
Five months later, it means that the Chu Formation Hall has arranged the magic circle for nine months from the day of receiving the order. In nine months, my father will definitely be able to complete the magic circle. Then he will give Xiao Pisheng the formation drawings, which will ensure that the guests will get the magic circle before the Xiao family.
As long as things are done and the remaining rewards are received from the guests, the cooperation between the Chu Formation Hall and the guests will end here. No subsequent actions by the Xiao family will affect the guest.
