Chapter 618 Episode 1
It was another brief interlude. I just felt that all the things I encountered today were very confusing.
After watching the two people leave, he cast the divine light in his starry eyes into the distance, and then slowly scanned them.
"Junior Qingyun, thank you senior for helping me."
He just said a few words of thanks in the air, but he didn't follow Jiang Yi's example and show up to say something.
"Yunlang, where did this senior come from? Why didn't I feel anyone was there?"
Alian sniffed her nose vigorously, carefully distinguishing the tiniest smell in the air.
"I almost fell into Jiang Yi's plot just now. At the critical moment, someone secretly hit Jiang Yi's right hand with spiritual power to save me from danger."
Qingyun explained simply.
"Maybe it's a passing master from the sect. Since we choose to do good deeds without leaving our name, let's not inquire about their identity."
"Yes, by the way Mengxun, it seems that Li Hongyu is indeed a member of the Li family?"
"Well, except for my close relatives and Uncle Lei, only the four demon generals who are loyal to my father know my identity. The others know nothing about me. It is inevitable that she will have suspicions. She will probably visit the fourth brother later.
"
"Well, but if you reveal your identity so openly and openly now, will you..."
Qingyun was a little worried.
"It doesn't matter, as my father said, the flowers in the greenhouse cannot survive the wind and rain, so it's time to take a walk in the sunshine."
Yao Mengxun smiled calmly, and then took Alian's hand.
"Okay, then let's go see Chongguan quickly."
Pursing his lips, the young master nodded.
After experiencing the encounter with Jiang Yi, the three of them suddenly became more vigilant, and they simply followed the direction pointed by the jade sign light curtain and rushed towards their destination without stopping.
When they arrived at a village about fifty miles east of Yuquan City, as soon as they entered, Qingyun immediately saw Chongguan, who had always been gentle and elegant, quarreling with a group of villagers, making everyone blush.
Even though several people were approaching, he, who was a cultivator, still didn't notice it and only focused on arguing with a few mortals dressed as businessmen.
To be precise, it should be a bargain.
After listening for a while, the young man finally understood. It turned out that the overall climate in Zhijing Cave this year was not good. As a result, even if there was a formation to gather energy, the village's spiritual fields were still not harvested. So the bosses of the village's trading houses joined forces to think of something.
The price needs to be increased.
What Chongguan means is that he can accept some increase in the price of purchasing higher-grade elixirs, but in contrast, those low-grade elixirs that are less affected by the climate should not increase any more.
What surprised Qingyun was that as a monk, especially an indigenous disciple from Yuquan Cave, Chongguan did not choose to bully others or buy and sell by force even if he argued with reason. This was different from those he had encountered in Wangjiacun in the past few years.
The two students are simply worlds apart.
"Look at people, no matter how noisy they are, they still follow the rules when doing business, unlike some people!"
The young man joked.
"I hate it, Yun Lang!"
Alian's face was red, her fragrant shoulders gently pushed against the blue clouds.
"Brother Qing... Qingyun! You are here!"
"Haha, brother Chong, I haven't seen you for a long time. I happened to pass by Yuquan City today and I was looking for you."
Holding a dried herb in his hand, Chong Guan's forehead was covered with dust from the wind, and he looked quite gray.
"Ha...haha...Unfortunately, there is a fair in Chencun today, and I also came out to buy some spiritual materials."
"Not enough money? How much difference?"
After getting acquainted with Chongguan, Qingyun did not hesitate and asked directly.
"Hey, the bosses of the Chamber of Commerce said that this year's harvest is not good, and the price will definitely rise a bit, so the budget will be exceeded. But it doesn't matter, Brother Qingyun, I will buy less that won't be in the way."
The young man smiled and shook his head. He was about to pay, but Yao Mengxun reached out to stop him, and then took over the bargaining banner for Chongguan without hesitation.
Only then did they remember that Fairy Yao, who was always as quiet as the sky, was also a hidden bargaining expert!
She did not belittle the seller's goods like ordinary people. On the contrary, she felt the same, praised and thanked the villagers for their hard work, and contributed to the prosperity of Zhijing Dongtian.
These words, coupled with Yao Mengxun's natural and almost strange affinity, moved not only the villagers, but also the bosses who had experienced the ups and downs of the shopping mall.
But then, Yao Mengxun began to show his "minions" step by step.
What Chong Guan's character and mind are superior to others? When doing business with him, you will give up the trickle in front of you and win the long-term ocean current.
Wangjia Village in Jiangyundong has become famous in recent years. The spiritual materials and elixirs produced there are of high quality and low price. If Chongguan goes there to buy them, your losses will be even greater.
Originally there were merchants who wanted to say that business is dead and people are alive. After hearing this, Yao Meng just smiled and retorted casually:
"I am also a monk, and I know how dangerous this forest of jungles is. Since the harvest is not good, the choice is yours. If you are willing to gamble, you can give it a try. If you are not willing, then the transaction will not work out. Let's do it now.
Take Daoist Chong to Wangjia Village in Jiangyun Cave for a tour and then come back."
As he said this, Yao Mengxun seemed to accidentally reveal the jade medal around his waist, which was a perfect timing.
Youdao gave him a slap in the face and gave him a piece of candy, and finally Yao Xianzi proposed that after the deal was concluded, he could improve the formation for Chencun's spiritual field to absorb energy and gather spirits, which completely won the hearts of ordinary villagers.
The merchants had no choice but to agree to Chongguan's previous conditions.
Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, after Chongguan stuffed all the large and small bags of spiritual materials into the treasure bag, it was the turn of the formation master Yao Xianzi to make a shining appearance.
However, Yao Mengxun's eyesight was inconvenient and his consciousness was almost completely blocked. Qingyun volunteered to step forward and adjusted the formation to infuse spiritual power according to her instructions. He was busy until noon when he was able to finish setting up a small part.
After communicating with the village elders, they paid some spiritual stones again, transcribed the improvement method, and handed it over to other people in the village to follow suit. Otherwise, if it were all up to Qingyun alone, there would be no way to do it in less than ten days and a half.
Leave the village.
"Brother Qingyun, why do you have time to come to my place today? Do you have some good elixirs?"
"Hey, don't hurt me. It's not like you don't know that I'm full of big-name goods here."
Chongguan was obviously in a good mood and teased Qingyun with a smile.
In fact, Qingyun rarely came to see him. Generally speaking, Long Fushi dealt with him about the sale of elixirs. If he was concerned, he would go to Jiangyun Cave to have a drink and chat with him.
The search for Feng Yue was a matter of confidentiality. Qing Yun did not want to involve others, so he only said that he had not visited Yuquan City carefully for a long time, so he took the two girls out for a walk when he had time.
They found a small shop in the village and sat down, with a pot of coarse tea and a few steamed cakes. They also enjoyed it very much.
"Brother Chong, since you lack low-level spiritual materials, why don't you go to Wangjia Village to find poems? She should have a lot of them there, right?"
To be honest, let alone Chongguan, this is Wangjiacun. Qingyun has rarely been there in recent years. Apart from occasionally borrowing the Xiangyun stove to practice his skills, more often than not he chooses to use the Miaoyin stove in his dormitory to lay a solid foundation.
Moreover, the village had always been managed in an orderly manner by Long Fushi and Long Ranmo, so he didn't need to worry about it for a moment.
"Hey, you are so happy being the hands-off shopkeeper!"
Chongguan's white eyes were filled with envy, and he immediately smiled and said:
"You have earned enough spiritual stones for credits, and now you are going out to talk about it. The fields in Wangjia Village are almost all spiritual materials for refining evil spirits. Not to mention that it is enough, Miss Long herself often asks me to purchase it from abroad!"
"Ha...haha~"
The young master scratched his head awkwardly and laughed. At this time, Yao Mengxun suddenly asked:
"Junior Brother Chong, do you know why the evil-eliminating pills on the market are in such short supply these years?"
As soon as these words came out, Qingyun couldn't help but glance at her secretly, wondering, didn't he tell them about this when he came back from Pan's house a few days ago?
"I'm not sure. I made a few twists and turns to sell the Xiaosha Dan here without leaving any traces. But according to my guess, it must be a powerful person in the sect, otherwise it would be impossible to collect all the knowledge on my own."
The evil-eliminating elixir in Jingdongtian."
At this point, Chongguan's expression became serious, and no one expected that this seemingly simple young man was actually quite thoughtful in his heart.
When the conversation changed, he laughed again:
"But Brother Qingyun, Miss Long is working day and night to make elixirs for you to earn credits and spirit stones. You should at least be considerate and considerate of her. Such non-stop work has a great impact on the rate of elixir completion!"
"Ha...haha...Brother Chong, please don't scare me...she has always been very measured when writing poems."
The young master laughed awkwardly, prompting Chong Guan to continue writing poems for Long to fight against injustice:
"What's the point? Brother Qingyun, the spiritual fields in Wangjiacun can't grow all the spiritual materials for refining evil spirits, right? And I helped her purchase some of the spiritual materials, so Miss Long's elixir-making rate is...
What is most clear is that in the later stages, more and more are needed, but the output is basically constant. Isn't this because overwork affects the rate of elixir production, is it because she ate it herself?"
"Is there anything else?"
Hearing what Chongguan said, Qingyun's heart suddenly tightened.
"Will I still lie to you? The reason why Miss Long is working so hard is to make your life more comfortable. She probably didn't tell you because she was afraid that you would feel guilty. Don't call me a big talker."
"Yes, yes, I really want to thank you, Brother Chong, this time. I...hey, I really don't know how blessed I am in the midst of blessings!"
"Fortunately, the demand for evil-eliminating pills on the market has decreased recently, so Miss Long doesn't have to rush as much."
Chong Guan spread his hands, but there was also a little bit of regret in his heart. After all, the price of Xiaosha Pill has been almost crazy in recent years. God knows if a certain boss finally suppressed his inner demons.
After another chat, Qingyun told him about the previous offense against Li Hongyu and Jiang Yi in Yuquan City, and asked about the identity and background of the other party.
What surprised me was that both Chongguan and Chongguan had heard about it.
And Jiang Yi, who claims to be a disciple of Ling Shuangyan, the master of Zixia Cave, is really not bragging, but he is indeed a disciple. As for his disciples...
"It's funny to say that Jiang Yi was originally a little-known person, and not many people even knew about his past life. Later, he suddenly became famous because he suddenly invented a new type of elixir that can help female cultivators maintain their beauty.
He was appreciated by Cave Master Ling and became the alchemist of his residence. As for the disciples, he was just trying to put gold on his face."
