Young Master Gu made an awkward face. He hadn't paid attention to Jiang Xiu from the very beginning. The clothes Jiang Xiu wore totaled up to a meager 300 RMB, and after he learned that his home ran a fruit stall, he revealed contempt from the depths of his heart, as if he had heard a joke.
But now, Tang Zhenshan was extremely respectful towards Jiang Xiu, and even Qin Weiping hailed him as his savior. As for Shaman Wu Long, whose disciple had dared to curse at Gu Shu, he was kowtowing and begging for forgiveness like a stray dog.
No matter how rich one was or how much power one possessed, in front of Jiang Xiu, they could only act docile and obedient, not even daring to speak a single word.
What was a big shot? This was a big shot!
The four young masters lowered their heads when they realized that they were just children playing house in the sand when compared to him.
Jiang Xiu's aura oppressed everyone present on the scene.
"G-Grandmaster Luoxia…" Bai Feng said, "I-I thought… You… I…" He was always eloquent with his speech yet he began to stutter.
Tang Wenchong felt pleased all over when he saw that. Weren't you acting quite arrogant? You even put me in an awkward situation. See how you meet your end now.
"Grandmaster Luoxia…"
No wonder he said I don't have the qualifications to be his opponent, even the four of us aren't enough. Actually, even Tang Zhenshan, Qin Weiping, and also all the Shamans present there combined together weren't qualified, let alone them, the younger generation.
"Why are you stammering…"
Qin Weiping apologized towards Jiang Xiu, "Grandmaster Luoxia, please don't mind it. These children have never had a close encounter with such a thing before. They are just frightened of Grandmaster's godly skills. I ask the Grandmaster to please forgive them."
Jiang Xiu swept over Bai Feng's face with a cold gaze, the latter's face turned colors. If there were a hole, he'd have buried himself in it.
Tang Zhenshan said, "Weiping, your nephew is really something. Didn't he want to drive Grandmaster Luoxia out of the clubhouse?"
"What?"
Qin Weiping glared at Bai Feng who had immediately lowered his head. Qin Weiping was truly angry this time as all his hope was on Jiang Xiu and if it were spoiled due to this brat, even killing him wouldn't be enough to settle it.
"Apologize to Grandmaster Luoxia."
Jiang Xiu laughed indifferently, "He doesn't have the qualifications!"
Bai Feng and the rest felt gloomy. Initially, they were planning to apologize to him, laying down their pride and even bootlick. But now, although they didn't need to apologize, this was harder for them to take than apologizing.
We're actually worth nothing in his eyes!
Qin Weiping said, "Yes, of course. Grandmaster Luoxia naturally wouldn't lower himself to the level of children."
As for apologizing, Qin Weiping was the one who ought to do that the most. At that time, Jiang Xiu was willing to help for the sake of giving some face to Nangong Kou'er, but he had instead insulted Jiang Xiu. He was hoping to play it down in such a manner. Just what kind of a person was Jiang Xiu? With such skills, it wasn't a far stretch to say he'd obtain true respect from a lot of people.
Qin Weiping was just paying lip service by saying flattering words.
"Grandmaster, that Zhang Tieshan was actually a swindler. Even I was taken in by that bastard's words. The bizarre events around the Myriad Base City Plaza project have instead intensified so much that it has even affected Renhe Rd. to the front."
Jiang Xiu remained calm. Although that Zhang Tieshan's magic force couldn't compare to his, it was about the same level as Shaman Wu Long kneeling down right now. He possessed real skills so it'd be an exaggeration to say he was a swindler.
"I sincerely request the Grandmaster to solve this problem for Myriad Base."
Jiang Xiu had already made out that the genuine purpose of this party today wasn't to identify artifacts but rather to draw out the authentic shamans who can deal with the bizarre events occurring around the Myriad Base City Plaza project. The Soul Shrine brought out to display by the organizers had already explained everything.
Tang Zhenshan also spoke in agreement, "Yes. Mr. Jiang, please solve this matter."
"This Deity can naturally solve it!"
Qin Weiping felt elated.
"But what can you offer to this Deity?"
Qin Weiping wasn't surprised by this. He knew he'd have to fulfill some conditions to make a peerless expert like Jiang Xiu act, "I wonder what Grandmaster Luoxia desires? Myriad Base shall surely accomplish it."
Jiang Xiu said, "What this Deity wants is the thing you're most unwilling to let go, a very vulgar thing."
"Hand over 50% of your equity shares."
Swoosh!
Everyone made a commotion.
It was actually too much. Qin Weiping's eyes almost popped out. His and Nangong Qin's combined shares came together to just 70%. If he handed over 50% to Jiang Xiu, that'd leave them both with only 20%. They would also lose the controlling shares in the company. That was equivalent to saying that he'd be the one working for Jiang Xiu.
"Grandmaster Luoxia must be kidding, right?"
"Think it over. 50% of the shares, not a single percent less. If you're willing, I will deal with the matter, or else, find someone else to deal with it."
It was a fair deal, and he wasn't even forcing Qin Weiping to agree.
Qin Weiping's face became as ugly as it could. When Nangong Kou'er had brought Jiang Xiu, it was a free deal. Since he had refused, more than half of his stock was at stake. He really wished to slap himself.
There was no way he'd hand over 50% of the equity shares of Myriad Base.
According to his calculations, a price between 10-50 million was enough.
Jiang Xiu said, "Since it's this way, this Deity shall say goodbye."
Looking at Jiang Xiu leave, Tang Zhenshan and Tang Wenchong chased after him. Though the Qin family was unwilling to take this deal, how could the Tang family let him go back when they had managed to invite him with much difficulty.
"Mr. Jiang, please wait a moment!"
"Hasn't the party just begun? Why is mister so anxious to leave? Those mediocre persons outside naturally aren't qualified to sit together with you. I'll make Wenchong arrange for a separate party table, please accompany me to drink two cups."
Jiang Xiu felt really hungry. In fact, it took a lot of effort to use his divine force to control thunder which made him famished.
"Alright!"
The other shamans relaxed after seeing Jiang Xiu leave. Especially Shaman Nan Kui and Little Master Teacher as Wu Long is their close friend. Luckily, they weren't implicated. As for Long Aotian, that brat had already escaped to god knows where not even caring about his master.
Wu Long didn't have a good character, so it was evident that his disciple was no better.
"Director Qin, we are also top-grade Shamans. Our magic force won't lose to Grandmaster Luoxia!" The one who said these words was Shaman Nan Kui. Anyways, Jiang Xiu had already left so he could say whatever he wanted. It was a complete reversal from his scared state before.
No matter how incredible Jiang Xiu was, it didn't mean it'd stop people from boasting.
"Oh?"
Qin Weiping's eyes glistened. Yes, Jiang Xiu isn't the only one who can handle this issue. Isn't Shaman Nan Kui present here? He's also a top-grade Shaman.
Guangdong's No.1 Shaman!
"If Master Nan Kui is able to solve the problem Myriad Base City Plaza is facing, I can take out 10 million, no, 50 million…" He didn't care about this amount of money if the issue could be resolved.
If It weren't settled then he'd have to declare bankruptcy, a 40 million more wouldn't even matter.
This isn't the time to act stingy.
"Alright!"
Shaman Nan Kui wasn't doing it for the money. It was an easy thing for him to make money. What he desired was the fame he'd obtain by resolving the issue which Jiang Xiu had refused to solve.
"Right. Where's the Soul Shrine?"
Shaman Nan Kui knew what was going on. The bizarre events occurring at the project were closely related to that Soul Shrine.
"You mean that those bizarre events are related to that jug?"
"Yes!" Shaman Nan Kui replied.
A Shaman to the side said, "Shaman Nan Kui, that Soul Shrine is sealed perfectly so that means that the thing inside can't affect the outside world. The reason behind the bizarre events occurring at the project must be unrelated to the Soul Shrine."
Qin Weiping nodded after hearing this, thinking that this Shaman's words made sense.
Shaman Nan Kui replied with a calm smile. He had recovered his previous vigor now that Jiang Xiu wasn't here anymore. "Although the Soul Shrine is still sealed, you mustn't forget that it was buried 10 ft deep underground. According to myth, the location 10 ft underground was linked to the netherworld. Now that the Soul Shrine was taken away from there, it has already lost the most important seal. With one less seal, do you think that the other seal will be able to keep what is sealed inside?"
The Shaman's expression changed when he heard this.
Little Master Teacher laughed faintly, "That's right!"
That Shaman couldn't bear this shame, "That Soul Shrine is several hundred years old and was even sealed so intricately. Does Shaman Nan Kui possess godly skills like that of Grandmaster Luoxia to deal with the evil spirit?"
Shaman Nan Kui shook his head, "Looking at the glyphs on the seal,
it looks like a high-level talisman. The late personage who made this talisman must've been a Foundation Establishment stage expert. Even he couldn't kill this evil spirit and could only seal it. We are even more powerless."
He was just barely in the Qi Refining stage's 1st realm.
It was far from the Foundation Establishment stage.
"I have a method to deal with it, by reinforcing the seal then burying it 10 ft underground again. That would settle the problem."
Qin Weiping nodded, "Your words make sense, where's the Soul Shrine though?"
"The Soul Shrine!"
It was unknown when it happened, but the Soul Shrine had already fallen down and broken to pieces. A black colored object was inside it, which was oozing out a disgusting black liquid. There were even white vapors coming out from that.
At that moment, everyone present there had all become silent.
