My Co-renting Lady Boss

"Hahaha, it’s not just familiar. Qing Wen is not only the Hall Master of Bimu City’s medical hall but also the Tower Master of Bimu City’s Bimu Tower. Before I came to Tianpo City, I was the City Lord of Bimu City, and we were old partners."

Han Ya mentioned Qing Wen, the Immortal Doctor, with a broad smile on his face.

But those surrounding him could all hear the deep-seated resentment in his heart.

As City Lord and Tower Master, they each manage a city, which naturally leads to irreconcilable conflicts—those of power.

The fact that Qing Wen, the Immortal Doctor, could force Han Ya to leave Bimu City is proof enough that the two have unresolved hatred.

"Hahaha, so that’s how it is. Tower Master Han Ya, I wonder who the Immortal Doctor Tang Ming is; I’m here specifically to visit Immortal Doctor Tang Ming. The medicine powder you concocted truly amazed me. Such elixir formulas, I’ve never heard of them. The medical hall is organizing another trial, I wonder if I could partake in the trial?"

Chu Qing’s mouth hinted at a smile, but he forced himself to appear jovial.

Han Ya, Mu Ta, and Tian Huansheng all looked at Tang Ming; it was clear Chu Qing was here to cause trouble. At this moment, Tang Ming had to be the one to respond.

Tang Ming coughed: "If it were someone else, I might agree. After all, the medical hall serves the public. But Young Master Chu Qing, your Chu Family has profited so much selling medicine powder these days, why compete for spots with these Demon Hunting Team brothers? I think you wouldn’t miss a few spirit stones, would you?"

Tang Ming’s voice was not quiet, and the members of the Demon Hunting Team watching from outside suddenly changed their expressions.

Tang Ming indeed mentioned earlier that trial spots were limited, and with the wealth of the Chu Family still taking a free spot, it’s like snatching meat from our mouths.

The Demon Hunting Team members already bore grievances against the Chu Family, and with Tang Ming’s provocations, the outsiders started cursing Chu Qing furiously.

Chu Kuang was about to erupt in fury but was stopped by Chu Qing: "Then I shall purchase a share of each."

Chu Qing had been here a while, and the trials and Tang Ming’s medicine powder effectiveness had surprised him.

He could ensure that these things are likely ones even Qing Wen, his Master, couldn’t concoct.

How then did Tang Ming manage to concoct them?

The Chu Family’s spies had already gleaned information on Tang Ming. This person had come from the Qingfeng Kingdom and was now wanted by them. It’s said he was once a tribute at the Huan Die Sect, a sect comprised solely of women with no real background.

However, Tang Ming had angered the Qingfeng Kingdom’s high ranks, fled into Coastal City, was then recruited by the Demon Clan, and together caused the demise of Qingfeng Kingdom’s Regent King’s son, Qingfeng Can.

None of these reports disclosed Tang Ming’s proficiency in Immortal Medical Technique. Could it be that Tang Ming has always been hiding his strength?

Chu Qing took a packet of medicine powder handed to him by the Immortal Doctor from the medical hall and put it in his mouth.

It was a packet of Treasure Blue Pill powder. The Treasure Blue Pill stimulates body acupoints and accelerates the body’s absorption of external Immortal Energy. It is quite useful for Magic Cultivators and some Elixir Cultivators.

Being an Elixir Cultivator, Chu Qing naturally knows the preciousness of Treasure Blue Pill. Upon ingesting the Treasure Blue Pill, he operated his Cultivation Technique as directed by the Immortal Doctor, and sure enough, the Immortal Energy absorption rate accelerated considerably.

"Young Master Chu, I wonder how the medicine powder I concocted fares? Is it better than what you concocted?"

Tang Ming approached with a smile.

Chu Qing wanted to punch Tang Ming in the face, asking, "You don’t know how your own medicine powder fares?"

Chu Qing took a deep breath: "Tang Ming Hall Master’s concocted powder is all top-grade, but what I, Chu Qing, concocted isn’t lacking either."

"Hmm, that’s reasonable. After all, Young Master Chu is the talented disciple of Bimu Tower’s Qing Wen, naturally, your concocted medicine powder isn’t lacking. However, I visited your shop previously. Your medicine powders seemed quite varied, some top-grade mixed with middle and low-grade powders. I suspect it’s the incompetence of the shopkeeper that led to this, right?"

Tang Ming winked at Chu Qing.

Chu Qing snorted coldly: "Tang Hall Master, why beat around the bush in your insults? My family’s medicine shop has only top-grade powders, no mention of middle or low-grade powders."

"Is that so? It seems I falsely accused you. I’ll take back what I said earlier; the Chu Family’s medicine shop powders are all top-grade, so everyone can compare with the ones purchased from mine. Our Tianpo City medical hall sells powders in three distinct grades: low, middle, and top-grade. Top-grade is most effective and most expensive. Others may purchase according to their own needs."

Tang Ming’s lips curled slightly as he spoke.

Chu Qing glanced around coldly, then snorted and turned to leave.

Just as Chu Qing was about to leave, Tian Huansheng, who had been standing by, coughed: "Young Master Chu, slow down, I have some matters I’d like to inquire about."

"Commander Tian, say what you need; whatever Chu Qing knows, I will certainly tell you."

Chu Qing halted and turned to face Tian Huansheng.

Tian Huansheng grinned: "It’s nothing major, earlier, you told Tower Master Han Ya you are a disciple of Qing Wen, the Immortal Doctor, at Bimu Tower. How then is your relationship with Zeng Qing?"

"Zeng Qing, he seems to be wanted by Tianpo City, right? It’s unclear if Commander Tian has captured him yet. This fellow has been expelled from my Master’s sect. Just a deceitful, despicable scoundrel causing troubles."

Chu Qing calmly regarded Tian Huansheng.

Tian Huansheng exchanged a glance with Mu Ta beside him; both nodded: "Thank you, Young Master Chu, for providing this information. If you know Zeng Qing’s whereabouts, do contact me."

"Rest assured, rest assured. If I find any information, I’ll surely report it to Commander Tian."

Chu Qing’s lips curled up as he turned, departing Tianpo City medical hall with Chu Kuang.

"Tower Master, City Lord, what do you think?"

Tian Huansheng directed his gaze at Mu Ta and Han Ya.

Han Ya chuckled coldly: "He surely knows Zeng Qing’s whereabouts, perhaps even aiding his escape from Tianpo City."

"Unfortunately, we lack evidence."

Mu Ta sighed heavily.

Tang Ming, standing beside the three, coughed: "Sirs, it’s not the time to discuss these matters now; I believe we should celebrate our success. I’ve prepared lunch at the residence; I wonder if the three of you could honor us with your presence?"
