My wife left me in my old age, so I built the strongest family

The door of the small dark room was opened.

The female captain invited Li Changqing to go out.

Logically speaking, a normal person would leave here quickly to avoid getting into more trouble.

But Li Changqing was serious at this moment.

He stared at the female detective angrily, wanting an explanation.

"You say I'm not good enough? Have you seen it? Little girl, you have no evidence, how can you slander a man like this?"

Seeing the angry Li Changqing, the female police chief felt confused.

Did you say something wrong?

At such an old age, he can't even stand up straight, let alone that aspect.

Just think of yourself as unlucky, meeting a stubborn old man, the female police chief apologized perfunctorily:

"Okay, okay, it's my fault. I said the wrong thing. Please don't mind it, old man."

"It's getting late, old man, you should hurry into the city. If you really have nothing to do, why not go back and continue queuing!"

"What a fucking queue!"

When Li Changqing talked about this, he took a big step and walked out of the small dark room.

Go back to queue?

Thank you for speaking out!

I don’t know when I can enter the city.

"You are quite clever, little girl. Next time we meet, I will teach you a lesson."

As he stepped into the county town, Li Changqing muttered to himself.

This farce ends here.

After entering the county town, Li Changqing rushed to the pharmacy to purchase the materials needed for alchemy.

He had quite a bit of silver and about two hundred spirit stones on him, which Chu Yuyan had given him for his retirement.

Silver is more than enough to buy medicinal materials, but spirit stones may be needed to buy an alchemy furnace.

When the owner of the drugstore heard that Li Changqing wanted to buy an alchemy furnace, he was beaming with joy.

He took out his store's treasure, a yellow-grade alchemy furnace.

Magical weapons and alchemy furnaces are divided into different levels.

And this yellow-grade alchemy furnace ranks last among the mysteries of heaven and earth.

Although it is of the lowest level, it is also in the extraordinary category, and is much higher grade than those three-no alchemy furnaces on the market.

Li Changqing was really surprised that he could appear in a secular county like Ma County.

"One price, eighty spirit stones, how about that?"

"Eighty, why don't you go and rob it?"

When Li Changqing heard the boss's offer, he immediately became angry.

He had learned alchemy when he was in Zixiao Sect.

Although I haven't learned it, I understand the basic prices.

This mediocre yellow-grade alchemy furnace can only be sold for around fifty spirit stones at most.

No matter how much, your brain just doesn't work well.

It could be sold for eighty spirit stones. It was obvious that the owner of the medicine shop thought that Li Changqing didn't understand the market price and deliberately raised the price.

Seeing that Li Changqing seemed to know the market price, the drugstore owner did not give in.

"Eighty isn't expensive. If this treasure were sold in the cultivation world, it might be very cheap, but we're just a small county town. If we want to exchange it for treasures from the cultivators, we'll have to pay several times more."

Hearing these words, Li Changqing disagreed.

These unscrupulous businessmen always say that their lives are not easy and raise prices.

In fact, twelve out of ten words you say are false.

The other two sentences were the lies he was brewing in his mind to trick people into buying it.

Just when Li Changqing was about to continue bargaining, a crisp voice came from outside the door.

"Eighty spirit stones, our Zhou family wants them!"

"what?"

Li Changqing turned around and saw a well-dressed middle-aged man standing outside the door.

As soon as he showed up, the drugstore owner was delighted.

"It turned out to be the Zhou family's housekeeper. Haha, I didn't expect that they also took a fancy to my baby. Great!"

"Look, old man, you still want to bargain, but now they've bought it straight away. Even if you have eight sharp tongues, there's no room for bargaining."

Li Changqing was not angry at the drugstore owner's sarcastic laughter.

"Why are you so angry? Others are stupid and rich, and they spent a lot of money to buy an alchemy furnace. If you still want to make a fuss about this, then you really are a fool."

If you can’t buy it here, you can just go somewhere else.

Finally, if there is no high-grade alchemy furnace, it is okay to use an ordinary alchemy furnace as a substitute.

There are always more solutions than problems. Li Changqing never hangs himself on a crooked tree.

Just as Li Changqing was about to leave the pharmacy.

Suddenly, he was stopped by the middle-aged man.

"Old Senior, can you also make pills?"

Li Changqing turned around and looked at him.

This middle-aged man who paid a high price to buy the alchemy furnace seemed to be the Zhou family's chief steward.

Zhou family?

It should be the largest family in Ma County, the Zhou family.

It is difficult for an ordinary family like the Zhang family to come up with such a large amount of money as eighty spirit stones.

"What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

Li Changqing turned around.

Butler Zhou smiled kindly.

"Old Senior, to be honest, our Zhou family is in urgent need of a master alchemist to prepare a batch of rare elixirs. We are still planning. If you are interested, you may visit our Zhou family. We will give you a generous reward."

"Old Senior, don't you want this alchemy furnace? If you can refine the elixir that our Zhou family wants, we will offer it to you with both hands!"

As he spoke, he held the alchemy furnace with his hands clasped together, his attitude very respectful.

Li Changqing felt that this was natural.

After all, even the cultivation world takes alchemists very seriously, let alone this small county.

The Zhou family did not dare to offend an alchemist easily and was willing to make friends with him with the utmost sincerity.

Li Changqing thought about it.

“The Zhou family is the largest family in Ma County and owns countless properties.

If I want to settle down in Ma County in the future, I will have to deal with the Zhou family.

Agreeing to his words would bring many benefits, while rejecting his words, while not harmful, would be unnecessary.

Li Changqing originally planned to buy a house in Ma County.

If we could establish a relationship with the largest family in Ma County, things would definitely be much easier.

He immediately agreed to the butler's request.

Go to Zhou's house with him.

On the way, after learning about Li Changqing's intention to buy a house, Butler Zhou said it was not a problem.

As long as he can become the Zhou family's official alchemist, not to mention buying a house, he can even give Li Changqing ten luxury houses.

However, Li Changqing insisted on buying it with money.

He will not become a vassal of a family.

Because his existence itself represents the rise of a family.

According to his plan, the Li family was destined to take root and flourish in Ma County!

He came to the Zhou family this time just to try out his alchemy skills.

After Li Changqing entered the spacious and grand Zhou family, he was immediately received by the head of the Zhou family.

"Old Senior, are you really an alchemist?"

The head of the family, Zhou Gang, felt a little strange when he saw Li Changqing for the first time.

Is this old man in front of me with a rustic air the alchemist that the housekeeper found?

How different from the alchemist I imagined!

When Li Changqing left home in the morning, he turned the soil in his family's fields. So now he has a slight smell of soil on his body and his clothes are relatively casual. People who work naturally wear simple clothes, so ordinary plain clothes are enough.

At first glance, he looks like an old country man.

"No matter how you look at it, he looks like a poor farmer. Where did the housekeeper find this farmer? How dare he call himself an alchemist and come to our Zhou family!"

Zhou Gang was respectful on the surface, but in his heart he had already begun to question Li Changqing's identity.

Even if they don't say it, Li Changqing now knows what they are thinking.

He was too lazy to explain, and just said:

"I know a thing or two about alchemy."

"If you know a little bit, old senior, you may have some difficulties if you want to refine the magic pill."

Zhou Gang said it tactfully with a bitter look on his face.

On the other side, Mrs. Zhou was openly dejected and rubbing her eyes.

"I thought a master had arrived and Li'er could be saved, but who knew it was just another old liar who only knew how to talk big."

"Madam, what are you talking about? The senior hasn't even tried it yet, and you say it's impossible?"

"My dear husband, am I wrong? There haven't been many people who have committed fraud in our Zhou family these days."

"That's enough. Please step back. Your nonsense will not be tolerated here."

The head of the family, Zhou Gang, knows how to deal with people.

He sent his wife away with these words.

Although it seemed that he did a good job, any discerning person could see that the Zhou family regarded the old man Li Changqing as a swindler who came to their door to defraud people, but they just didn't point it out openly.

It depends on Li Changqing's awareness.

Should I stop at this point and retreat, or should I bite the bullet and continue?

No one in the Zhou family is optimistic about Li Changqing.

I thought that in less than a minute, he would probably find an excuse to leave urgently.

Li Changqing sat on a chair beside him, tapping the table lightly.

"Will you take care of the food?"
