Although Liuxian Prefecture was vast and had a large number of Immortal Cultivators, most of them were Qi Refinement Stage and Foundation Building Stage beginner Immortal Cultivators.
As long as someone reached the Gold Core stage, that person would have a considerable right to speak in his own family and even in the town. If he cultivated to the fifth or sixth level of the Gold Core stage, then no matter who saw him, they would be respectful to him, and he would become a fragrant cake that all the major forces would fight over.
Even in the Tranquil Forest Sect and the Burning Sky Faction, cultivators at the later stages of the Golden Core Stage were rare. Most of them would take up certain positions, such as Deacon Elders or Masters who would guide beginner disciples.
As for Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, they were even more rare. Even if all the cultivators from the Secluded Forest Sect and the Burning Sky Faction were gathered together, including those masters and grandmasters who were in seclusion, there might not be more than ten of them who had reached the Nascent Soul Stage!
Moreover, among these ten people, most of them had just entered the Original Infant Stage. At most, they were at the third or fourth level of the Original Infant Stage. For example, Gong Shaoxi had been stuck at the Golden Core Full Circle for so long and was unable to break through, it was clear how difficult it was to break through from the Golden Core Stage to the Original Infant Stage!
That was why Gong Shaoxi was so respectful to Xiao Chen. In his eyes, Original Infant Stage cultivators were people he had never seen or heard of before! For such a great deity who was above the clouds, he would even be willing to call Xiao Chen a Deity who had descended from the heavens, not to mention a Deity!
"Ah? You came to the Qin Clan to be a Consecrator? "Xiao Chen looked at Gong Shaoxi with surprise and waved his hand, saying," Forget it! You look like a small leader of the Burning Sky Faction. I reckon that as a Consecrator, you will need to spend a lot of Spiritual Crystals. The Qin Clan is not a particularly big clan now, so I reckon that they will not be able to afford it for now! You can just send a Golden Core Stage cultivator who earns one Spiritual Crystal a year over here! "
Although Xiao Chen knew that if Gong Shaoxi were to be a Consecrator of the Qin Family, then this amount would be enough for the Qin Family to become the dragon head of Yanlin Town in one leap, he also understood the Qin Family's present situation.
Although he had caused trouble for the Zhao Clan several times, causing the Qin Clan's business to become more prosperous than before, it was still a bit difficult to hire a half-step Nascent Soul Stage expert all of a sudden.
Furthermore, the reason why he made this bet with Gong Shaoxi was because he couldn't stay in the Qin Clan for a long period of time. Therefore, he thought that he should at least help the Qin Clan rope in some experts from the Burning Sky Faction to hold the fort. Only then would he be able to leave with peace of mind.
After all, Qin Shengling had helped him out quite a bit. He had to repay this kindness. If he were to pull a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator over to the Qin Clan and cause them to go bankrupt, that would be repaying kindness with enmity!
"Don't, don't, don't. Immortal Xiao, you're treating me like an outsider!" Gong Shaoxi immediately shook his head. Then, with a face full of righteousness, he added, "No matter how valuable the spirit crystals are, they are only worldly possessions. As long as I can be an assistant to Immortal Xiao, I don't mind even if you don't give me the spirit crystals!"
Gong Shaoxi wasn't an idiot. After being a Deacon Elder for so many years, he had some ideas of his own when it came to judging a matter. Being able to curry favor with Immortal Xiao was, of course, much better than taking a few spirit crystals. Between the two, he naturally knew how to weigh the pros and cons.
"Ah? How can that be! "Qin Shengling, who was standing at the side, exclaimed.
Seeing that both Xiao Chen and Gong Shaoxi had turned their gazes over, Qin Shengling hesitated for a moment and said carefully, "Elder Gong, you're the Deacon Elder of the Burning Sky Faction. How can I let you work here for free? How about this, I'll give you a portion of the spirit crystals as a down payment. After a while, when the Qin Clan's business improves, I'll pay the rest. What do you think? "
From Qin Shengling's point of view, to be able to invite an Elder of the Burning Sky Faction to be a consecrator was something that many clans could only dream of.
He didn't expect that today, with just one sentence from Xiao Chen, he could actually make this originally impossible wish come true. It was simply too incredible! Qin Shengling still felt like he was in a dream. He couldn't believe that everything that had happened was real.
"Old Master Qin, you don't have to say anything more. Since I've already made up my mind, I won't take a single spirit crystal from the Qin Clan! As long as I can be of service to Exalted Immortal Xiao, everything else does not matter! " Gong Shaoxi resolutely rejected Qin Shengling's proposal. He didn't care about the spirit crystals at all. If he could follow Xiao Chen, the benefits he could obtain would definitely be much more precious than the spirit crystals!
"Hehe, you really know how to take advantage of others." Xiao Chen could naturally guess Gong Shaoxi's thoughts. However, he could also understand this fellow's thoughts. He patted him on the shoulder, nodded and said, "That's fine too! Then you can stay and mingle with me. However, I'll say this in advance. Sometimes, I'll travel around and gain experience. When I'm back, if there's a chance, I'll give you some pointers. In short, I won't treat you badly! "
"Hehe, then I'll thank Immortal Xiao in advance!" Gong Shaoxi nodded repeatedly. His face was smiling like a chrysanthemum. He was extremely happy.
He had foreshadowed so much in the beginning, all for this sentence. He was thinking about how to bring it up tactfully so that he would not appear too greedy and would not put the Exalted Immortal in a difficult position. Just as he was pondering, Exalted Immortal Xiao actually took the initiative to speak up. Gong Shaoxi finally relaxed.
"Two esteemed masters, it's getting late. This Qin has prepared a small banquet in the residence. Let's not stand outside. Let's go in and eat while we talk!" Qin Shengling saw that the two had come to an agreement and didn't say anything else. He raised his head to look at the sky and respectfully gestured for Xiao Chen and Gong Shaoxi to enter the parlor.
Xiao Chen nodded and walked over to hold Hong Zhu's hand. He followed Qin Shengling into the parlor and casually sat down on the main seat. However, even if he didn't sit, Patriarch Qin and Gong Shaoxi wouldn't have allowed him to sit on the guest seat.
After Hong Zhu sat down beside Xiao Chen, Gong Shaoxi also followed closely behind. He sat down beside Qin Shengling and chatted amiably with him.
Qin Shengling felt extremely flattered. After all, the Acting Elder of the Burning Heavens Faction, who was previously out of his reach, had not only become his family's free tribute, but also sat down with him to enjoy a banquet and chat warmly. This was something that he didn't even dare to imagine!
Gong Shaoxi was also very happy in his heart because Xiao Chen had already promised to give him pointers. Even if he had to travel around and it was uncertain when he would return, this was equivalent to having something to look forward to!
