Chapter 10: Repair a Person Before Getting to Work
As the gestures flipped, fragments were skillfully installed by Yan Qing into their designated positions. The Li family felt somewhat dizzy.
At that moment, Yan Qing suddenly appeared out of breath, his face somewhat pale, as if he could not move any longer
The energy of the Qi-replenishing elixir is insufficient; at the very least, I require two first-tier Gathering Spirit Pills
However, the son of the lord Yan Fei occasionally comes over, not for any other reason but to take advantage of his own fair and tender daughter by touching and groping her a bit
"Alright, three thousand taels. However, you must demonstrate some authority to justify it." Li Dachui ultimately nodded in agreement.
Sigh... Yan Qing deliberately shook his hand as if he were about to lose strength
Master Yan seems to be practicing martial arts '' The chief steward of the Li family also looked on with admiration
Yan Qing stepped forward again and delivered a fierce kick to that fellow's backside
Four thousand taels! Yan Qing slowed his pace
"What is going on, Master? What happened?" Li Dachui asked anxiously, startled.
This master has no time to waste chatting with you. If you cannot meet this price, this master will take his leave.
However, a few sons of generals do not have the courage to step forward and confront the prince; they are only capable of making a fuss in collaboration with influential figures in the court.
"Do not hit the young master!" Yan Fei's two bodyguards, who were accompanying him, rushed in from outside upon hearing the scolding, shouting from a distance.
Although there are people in the palace who bully Yan Qing, it is extremely difficult for Li Dachui, a moderately wealthy individual, to come into contact with the lofty royal members
That fellow was taken aback, and upon focusing his gaze on Yan Qing, he was immediately frightened into a stammer. My dear mother, it is the Eighth Prince, and he quickly hurriedly stepped back a few paces.
Yan Qing cast a sidelong glance and exclaimed, "Damn! Who else could it be but Yan Fei, the son of Lord Hu Wei?" Beside him were several young masters from the generals' families, bustling around him eagerly.
Five thousand taels! Yan Qing did not stop his footsteps, nor did he look back as he replied directly
"One thousand five hundred taels!" Li Dachui's lips twitched as he spoke
Damn, did we go too far? If I had known, I shouldn't have called so high. Yan Qing felt a bit regretful in his heart. However, his steps did not stop. If he stopped now, he would probably only be able to earn about eight or nine hundred taels at most
This is art, something only top masters can truly engage with. The three thousand taels spent were worth it; look, the tiger's tail has emerged, and the tiger's rear is also visible..." Li Dachui said with an excited expression
Yan Qing stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it
"Two thousand taels, no more than that. Otherwise..." Li Dachui had just said this when Yan Qing suddenly turned around and said, "Three thousand taels. You won't find an artist of my caliber for two thousand taels. You get what you pay for; why is it that the same porcelain vase can be worth ten taels or ten thousand taels? This is a matter of material and craftsmanship."
Ah ... ... they are hitting me ... ...
"My lord, that is two hundred taels." Li Qing said, pulling at his lips, somewhat reluctant.
"Hmph, this shall not be repeated." Yan Qing retracted his leg, realizing that the two guards were far stronger than himself; continuing to fight would likely result in him being the one who gets beaten.
Suddenly, a faint sound of a tiger's roar was heard.
The first-grade Gathering Spirit Pill... Li Dachui twitched his lips. Even the wealthy Li Yuanwai felt a pang of pain.
Yan Fei, you wretched creature. Upon seeing this prince, you dare not pay your respects and even have the audacity to bite recklessly
Li Dachui surprisingly did not stop him, allowing Yan Qing to leave freely
"Damn it, even if it's 10,000 taels for one, it has to be taken." Li Dachui was furious and kicked out, causing Li Qing to almost fall flat on his face, quickly running back. Soon after, he brought out two.
"I have seen the young master, but where is the Eighth Prince?" Li Dachui bowed in surprise and quickly asked
Eight... Hachioji, a small token of appreciation rather than a formal gift. Li Dachui spoke in a rambling manner, not only presenting three thousand taels but also including two first-grade Spirit Gathering Pills as a bonus
Quickly take this dog servant away, otherwise, this prince will not be polite. I will punish all of you together
This prince will teach you, an arrogant and disrespectful dog, a lesson today! Yan Qing stepped forward, hooked his foot, and Yan Fei immediately leaned forward and fell.
"What should we do then? By the way, can we supplement our stamina? I will get you a Qi replenishing pill," said Li Dachui.
If you insult this prince as nonsense, does that mean you are insulting all the members of the royal family as nonsense
And Yan Fei kicked again from behind, with a loud crack, Yan Fei fell down like a dog eating excrement
Yan Mu Chen Fei, you two step forward and give this trash a good beating. This worthless thing. If it injures this young lord, I will take charge of it. When Yan Fei helped him up, he already had a face full of misery, pointing at Yan Qing and shouting angrily.
This jade wall is too massive, and my physical strength is insufficient. If I take a break, I fear that the imposing aura I have built up will weaken. It is best to complete this in one go. What a hassle, must I settle for a half-finished product?
Hahaha, very good, very good. The great display of the tiger's might signifies that our Li family is about to prosper and amass great wealth. Li Dachui was so delighted that he broke into a grin.
When the strong wind blows through the hole, it can produce a sound resembling a tiger's roar. This should be the principle of the wind tunnel
Ah, it lives, how incredible! The Li family was in an uproar; in fact, it was Yan Qing who had infused his palm energy into the tiger's mouth to produce this effect
Master Yan is from Hachioji? Li Dachui, upon hearing this, instinctively lowered his waist a bit.
"Oh, it's that trash collage artist." Yan Fei gestured with her lips towards Yan Qing.
"No... there is nothing left, nothing left... there is no need..." Li Dachui shook his head vigorously like a rattle.
Yan Qing smiled lightly, unceremoniously putting it into his bag, and said, "Next time, I will just find this master for the puzzle."
"Take it, take it, Li Qing, hurry up and get a second-tier Gathering Spirit Pill." Li Dachui was startled; he certainly did not want to produce a half-finished product. If this Tiger Diagram were ruined, it would be of no use even if he killed this guy.
"Yo yo yo, look, our Eight Princes has actually become a garbage collage artist." At this moment, a familiar mocking voice came through.
You several brothers, why don't you come forward and beat this dog to death for me
"Nonsense, a charlatan. Let's go!" Yan Fei let out a cold laugh and, accompanied by his followers, marched towards the residence.
They truly do not dare to lay a hand on him, even if they had the audacity. Thus, each one pretends not to have heard. They watch as Yan Fei rolls on the ground, crying out in agony.
Before long, strength returned, and the movements continued to be as lively as dragons and snakes. In the end, with a graceful leap, Yan Qing executed a stylish aerial swallow dive, landing a decisive blow on the 'Tiger Eye' with a resounding clap.
"What, do you think this prince's painting is not good?" Yan Qing's face turned serious
Upon seeing a fierce guard about to make a move towards him, Yan Qing shouted loudly, "Upon seeing this prince, why do you not pay your respects? Do you wish to be punished with castration?"
This is simple. Yan Qing strode back, and after a long examination, began to gesture and play with the puzzle.
"Indeed, other artists only charge 500 taels. You are asking for 6,000 taels, which is nearly ten times more. You are only slightly better than them, so at most, you should only receive 700 or 800 taels, which would be quite remarkable." another elder remarked
Both parties are well aware of this matter. After all, it is merely a few touches and does not cost a piece of flesh. Moreover, the young master from the Li family is not someone to be trifled with. Even if it involves their own daughter, they would have to accept it.
The two guards were certainly feeling anxious; although it was said that this prince was not well-liked in the palace, he was still a prince after all
Where is it that one can provoke at will? Upon hearing this, he forcefully dragged and carried Yan Fei on his back, striding away. A few followers, of course, scattered like birds and quickly fled.
"One thousand taels!" After Yan Qing had taken seven steps, Li Dachui's voice was heard
He discovered this secret early on. This tiger painting is indeed of exceptional craftsmanship, with a hole in the tiger's mouth
