"I want to exchange this treasure for an item from the national treasury of Beihan Country," Li Changqing said.
"Mr. Changqing, you can choose any item from the treasury, whatever you want. To , Qing’er’s life is worth more than any treasure," Yin Fengqi replied without hesitation.
"Dragon Blood Essence."
Li Changqing straightforwardly stated the na of the treasure.
"Alright."
"I will have soone bring it over shortly."
Though the Dragon Blood Essence was indeed precious, Yin Fengqi agreed without hesitation. To him, the essence was not of much use since no one in the Beihan Country had been born with a Divine Body.
Li Changqing breathed a sigh of relief.
He had acquired a drop of Dragon Blood Essence.
"Father."
At this mont, Yin Qing called out to Yin Fengqi.
"What’s the matter, Qing’er?"
Yin Fengqi looked at Yin Qing with curiosity. Yin Qing gestured for him to co over, and then she whispered sothing in his ear.
After listening, Yin Fengqi showed a hint of surprise.
Then he nodded.
"Mr. Changqing, I have a proposal. I wonder if you’d be interested," Yin Fengqi looked at Li Changqing.
"A proposal?"
Li Changqing raised an eyebrow, wondering what Yin Fengqi was up to.
"I would like to invite you to be Qing’er’s teacher. Would you be interested?" Yin Fengqi said, "You don’t need to teach Qing’er cultivation, just instruct her in things that interest her. Qing’er has never had a teacher before, partly due to her health not permitting long periods of study and also because I wasn’t comfortable with others being close to her."
Li Changqing was a bit surprised. Not comfortable with others, yet comfortable with being close to her?
Besides, I still have to watch over my son.
How could I have ti for these things?
I need to head back to Zi Wu City after obtaining the Dragon Blood Essence.
"I’m sorry, but I can’t agree to that, as I have other matters to handle," Li Changqing shook his head and said.
"If Mr. Changqing agrees, I can give another drop of Dragon Blood Essence as compensation," Yin Fengqi said with a smile. "You may also choose another item from the treasure vault. How about that?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changqing’s pupils contracted: "You have another drop of Dragon Blood Essence?"
"That’s right, our Beihan Country’s vault contains two drops of Dragon Blood Essence. What does Mr. Changqing think?"
Yin Fengqi looked seriously at Li Changqing.
Yin Fengqi had his own plans.
After all, he wasn’t certain how long the Life Spring gifted by Li Changqing would last, so he wanted Li Changqing to stay by Yin Qing’s side for a year. Otherwise, what if there was an issue with the treasure?
Besides, Yin Qing felt a certain closeness to Li Changqing and really wanted him to be her teacher.
Yin Fengqi couldn’t bear to refuse his daughter’s request.
After all, it was just a drop of Dragon Blood Essence and an object from the treasure storehouse; it was insignificant to Yin Fengqi.
Li Changqing contemplated for a mont. A drop of Dragon Blood Essence was indeed quite tempting for him.
In the future, it would undoubtedly be useful for his son’s cultivation.
But if he wasn’t there, what would happen to his son?
Li Changqing was sowhat conflicted.
Seeing Li Changqing’s hesitation, Yin Fengqi guessed that Li Changqing must have so concerns. Thus, he proactively said, "If Mr. Changqing has any troubleso matters you need help with, I am willing to assist."
Upon hearing this, Li Changqing suddenly paused. That’s right.
The National Guardian Mansion is, after all, within Beihan Country’s jurisdiction.
If Yin Fengqi were willing to help, then things would beco much simpler.
Furthermore, Beihan Country could serve as a strategic point for the developnt of his businesses. While the Evergreen Comrce Association had spread across the Eastern Wilderness from Changting Town, its actual scale wasn’t that large—only one establishnt per area.
If he relied solely on the Evergreen Comrce Association for developnt, it could take a long ti.
In this turbulent Cangyuan Realm, navigating without a reliable ally was quite challenging.
Even though Luo Xiaochuan from the Mountain Ancient Land wanted to collaborate, Li Changqing found him unreliable and dared not trust him easily.
Being able to establish roots in Beihan Country would be a trendous support for him and his son.
Thinking of this, Li Changqing nodded and said, "In that case, I can accept the teaching position."
"Thank you, Mr. Changqing!"
Yin Fengqi expressed his joy.
Yin Fengqi’s happiness wasn’t just because Li Changqing agreed to be Yin Qing’s teacher but because Li Changqing was a Painting Saint!
Having a Painting Saint settle in Beihan Country was like a gift from heaven.
Offering a drop of Dragon Blood Essence and another treasure ant nothing.
In the Cangyuan Realm, Painting Saints were rare treasures fought over by many forces.
Although it was agreed that Li Changqing would stay in Beihan Country for a year, there would always be chances to persuade him to remain permanently.
Both had their own sches.
"Is there any difficulty Mr. Changqing needs assistance with?" Yin Fengqi quickly offered.
"My son is serving as an Inspector in your Beihan Country," Li Changqing said straightforwardly, without hiding anything.
"An Inspector?"
Yin Fengqi raised an eyebrow and then asked, "Where is he serving?"
"In the National Guardian Mansion. My son’s na is Li Hengsheng, and he ca from the Mountain Ancient Land," Li Changqing said calmly. "I am in Zi Wu City to protect him, but I don’t want to interfere."
