Tianjiu looked at Sikong Lan and felt that this uncle was too cute. Before he knew his identity, he scolded him sternly. After he understood his identity, his attitude actually changed 180 degrees. He spoke in a soft voice.
She looks like a lady. Could it be that the sloppy image last time was very popular with her? Or is she feeling guilty because she gave herself the mark of spiritual consciousness last time?
"Uncle Master, it's like this..." Tianjiu said, his eyes scanning around.
"Giggle! Come in with me, look at how careful you are!" Sikong Lan said with a chuckle, then turned around and entered the last warehouse.
Inside the house, it was still the same dilapidated state. The three broken shelves were still in place, but the inside had been cleaned without a trace of dust. Sikong Lan still leaned on the wall, standing facing Tianjiu, with a slight blush on his face.
.
"Tianjiu, actually there is no one else in this shop, even Xiaodie has gone back to Tiandu Peak."
"Oh, I'm very strange. Uncle Master is an elite of the inner sect, so why do you want to come to Xingchenzhai to see the shop? If Uncle Master wants to practice, wouldn't it be better on Tiandu Peak Mountain?" Tianjiu entered the house and asked with a smile.
.
"Well, you also know that Xingchenzhai is actually in name only. I am here because no inner disciple brother is willing to come here, and my father, as the deacon of Tiandu Peak, has no choice but to designate me to come here every time.
I'm under guard, but it's okay, it's quite quiet here, and the aura is decent. In addition to performing sect tasks, I usually come here to practice."
After hearing this, Tianjiu's eyes flashed slightly, and he hurriedly asked: "Does Uncle Master's cultivation mainly rely on elixirs or the spiritual energy of heaven and earth? What's the difference between the two?"
"Elixirs? No, how can monks rely mainly on elixirs for cultivation? Not many people can afford it, not even the core disciples of the top wealthy families in Yulingzhou can do it. Of course, having more elixirs for cultivation would be the best.
It couldn't be better, the advancement speed will be much faster. When we use elixirs, they are usually used to break through bottlenecks, heal injuries, or quickly restore energy when fighting with others. Usually, we still mainly rely on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to practice. In fact, although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is complex,
, but it is the gentlest and will not cause damage to the meridians. More importantly, it is affordable and does not cost any crystals. If you blindly use other external forces to supplement, the meridians will be easily damaged. Secondly, it will cost a lot of crystals, which is not supported by ordinary people.
Those who can afford it, what's more, I heard that if you advance too quickly, you will become mentally unstable, or even cause inner demons."
"Ah, that's it!" Tianjiu said thoughtfully.
No wonder he would be desperate every time he advanced, causing a lot of problems. It turned out to be caused by his malicious supplementation!
"Hey, you ask this, don't you practice by absorbing spiritual energy?" Sikong Lan asked in surprise.
Suddenly it dawned on him: "Oh, I understand. Did you take some magic medicine to advance to the eighth level so quickly?"
"Hey, Uncle Master, you have a good eye! Hey, Uncle Master, I'm just a loser. I can't make any progress if I don't rely on taking some elixirs. In fact, I just rely on taking Xiaoyuan Dan to practice. When I advanced last time
I almost went crazy. This is the tragedy of our outer disciples. Without the guidance of a master, we can only practice blindly, hehe!" Tianjiu said half-seriously.
"Little Yuan Dan? You used Xiao Yuan Dan when you were at the seventh level of Qi refining. What a luxury! I was only willing to buy Xiao Yuan Dan for breakthrough when I was at the ninth level of Qi refining. Based on my intuition, you definitely can't be
You waste material will definitely skyrocket! Besides, you must have a good fortune, otherwise there would be so many little Yuan Dan to eat, I’m even considering whether I’m going to rob you, hehehehe!”
"Hey, uncle, I'm joking, I owe a lot of debt now. The head master wants me to hand over more than 4,000 high-level crystal stones, but I can't raise the money even if I sell myself...!"
Tianjiu smiled sarcastically and told Sikong Lan everything about the spirit pig.
"That's it!" After listening to Tianjiu's story, Sikong Lan wondered: "It's a pity that I don't know how to run a business. I can't help you with this problem." After saying that, he glanced at Tianjiu secretly and continued.
"I only have thirty-five high-level crystals and more than five hundred mid-level crystals here. How about I give them all to you?"
"ah?"
Tianjiu was stunned, and quickly waved his hand and said: "Uncle, I'm joking, I don't want to borrow crystal stones from you!"
"Oh!" Sikong Lan looked a little disappointed and stopped taking out the crystal stone.
"You don't look down on my spar, right? You can't help it. Although my father is the most powerful deacon in Huachen, he is also the poorest deacon in Huachen. I am also unlucky and can't get any benefits. I
That’s all I have!”
"Thank you, Uncle Master. Actually, I'm here to ask for advice. Apart from the four sects, which one do you think you have a better relationship with Hua Chen?"
Tianjiu was a little flattered. He wondered if Master Sikong had taken a fancy to him, otherwise he would have no reason to humble himself to a minor qi-refining cultivator. As soon as he made a move, he would give his entire wealth to himself, but he didn't feel that he was so charming!
"Well, let me think about it, apart from the Xiling Sect and the Dongcang Sect, the other casual cultivators and small sects that Hua Chen has good friends with are just so-so. They just go wherever there is a fishy smell.
.”
"Oh! How can I sell those spiritual pigs of mine?" Tianjiu murmured to himself.
"Selling spiritual pigs? I know this. In the past, in our Tiandu Fengfang City, we could easily trade in the shops in Simen, and the prices were good. But now it is like this. It must not work anymore. I know there is another place with a good price.
It's very good, there are a lot of people collecting it, but it's too far away from here and it's very unsafe on the road." Sikong Lan thought about it and said.
"Where is it? It doesn't matter if it's far away, I'll find a way to get there!" Tianjiu was overjoyed.
"Yutiao Shanfang City! It's hundreds of thousands of miles away from Huachen. The most important thing is to pass through the hinterland of Dongling Gate. If you take a detour to the south or north, the distance will be doubled several times, and there is no teleportation array to connect it. The round trip will take at least a month.
Above, and the security name is not much better. We Hua Chen used to have a small shop there, but it was occupied by Donglingmen more than ten years ago. Do you think it is necessary to go?"
"Yutiao Shanfang City?" Tianjiu heard this for the first time. He was originally a country bumpkin from the world of immortality. He had only been to Tiandu Fengfang City before.
"Yes, Yutiao Shanfang City is dozens of times larger than Tiandu Fengfang City in terms of scale. In terms of strength, foundation-building monks are like crucian carp crossing the river. They can be seen everywhere. Many old monsters of Jindan patronize them, even in the Nascent Soul stage.
The ancestor is also said to have appeared several times. It does not belong to any sect. There is a casual cultivator of the Jindan stage who is in charge there. His strength is so extraordinary that even the Dongling Gate was defeated. In addition, there is free trade and reasonable charges. Naturally,
It is an ideal place for casual cultivators to trade. Because there are many high-level cultivators there, the information is very well-informed. Many sect spies are there. As long as there are crystals and treasures, there is no need to worry about not getting what you want.
thing."
"What? Well-informed? How well-informed is it?" Tianjiu's eyes lit up.
"There is a Privy Council Chamber. I heard that the heavens above know the secrets of the earth, and everyone knows the secrets of the nine states. But the fee is extremely high, and a thousand crystals is not enough. Alas, how can we poor monks afford that place?"
Sikong Lan said absently.
"Wow, there is such a good place! Then I must go."
Tianjiu said excitedly, especially the information inquiry, which touched his heart very much.
He has been in this world of immortality for almost half a year now. Seeing that the one-year period is approaching, although he knows that there is little hope of going back, he is still extremely unwilling to do so. He always holds on to a trace of fantasy, hoping to find a way back, even if he can find out a little bit about it.
The connections are fine. The Huachen Sect's circle is too small, and the leader is no more than a golden elixir cultivator, and he doesn't dare to ask him rashly for fear of revealing his identity as an alien.
"No way, you don't want your life? Donglingmen and us are like fire and water, we are the foundation-building monks. The chance of passing safely is 1 in 10, and the chance of you passing is estimated to be 1 in 100, but you still have this heart.
Right. Even after passing through the Dongling Gate, in the place where fish and dragons are mixed together in Yutiao Mountain, the possibility of being robbed and killed is very high. If you are a monk in the final stage of foundation building, you can still deter others. I have never heard of any Qi Refining monk who can.
He escaped wholeheartedly."
Sikong Lan's face turned a little blue, and she felt very regretful. She really shouldn't have told Yutiao Shanfang City.
"Aha, I know! Thank you, Uncle Master, for your advice. Tianjiu will consider it carefully!" Tianjiu laughed loudly and had some calculation in his mind.
"Tianjiu, our competition will be held in one month. If you want me to keep your identity secret, it's okay, but you must attend the competition and enter the inner gate. Otherwise, I will definitely report your situation to me.
Dad. Also, it’s not easy for you to get out. I will inform my dad soon and ask him to give you an order not to issue you a pass jade token. In this way, unless you sneak out secretly, you will not be able to get out of Huachen Gate.
Shanmen’s, cluck!”
Sikong Lan covered her mouth and chuckled, using her trump card to prevent Tianjiu from going out to die.
"Okay, okay! I won't go out. I will definitely participate in the small competition as scheduled, and I will definitely go in the inner gate. Don't worry, uncle. I always want to ask uncle to give me guidance on my cultivation!"
Jiu said jokingly.
Sikong Lan's face turned crimson, one jade hand kept twisting the corner of her skirt, and her head was lowered unnaturally.
Tianjiu saw this and sighed inwardly. Could it be that Sikong Lan really fell in love with him? He didn't dare to think about it any more, and he didn't dare to stay any longer. He quickly walked out of the house and flew out of Xingchen Zhai.
Outside the gate of Xingchenzhai, Xiaomi and his friends were sitting on the street, waiting in boredom. Tianjiu didn't greet them, but kept leaping towards the square.
After a dozen breaths, Tianjiu flew into the square.
Inside the workshop, there was also a dilapidated scene. Tables, chairs and benches were piled up everywhere, and scattered jade slip fragments were scattered on the ground. Fortunately, the protective array was still intact, but there was no crystal support at the center of the array, so there was no
Open. Four slightly dilapidated small teleportation arrays lie in a corner of the house. This should be the entrance for foreign monks to enter and leave the city.
"Boss, you are so boring. We were waiting for you outside, but you didn't say a word and ran away, which made us have to chase you!" Shouhou took the lead in entering the office.
"Yes, boss, who is the beauty in Xingchenzhai? What a terrifying cultivation level, there must be a foundation building period, right?" Yu Zicong then came in and asked. One after another, everyone came.
"Tch! That's Sikong Lan. Who doesn't know it? God of Plague, what are you talking to her about? She's so mysterious. Are you trying to attract bees and butterflies again? Let me tell you, Sikong Lan's father is very powerful.
If you don't want to die an ugly death, you'd better stay away from her and don't mess with her." Xiaomi finally came in and said with a smile.
"Wow, boss, you can't be so sharp, can you? Uncle Master dares to touch it?! Your life is at stake! If you want to find it, you have to find someone like us Xiaomi!" Huben said with a loud laugh.
"Damn little tiger! What are you talking about? I don't like this god of plague!" Mi Yurong shouted with a blushing face.
"Tch! Little brat! I left her to you. If you like her, just go find her!" Tianjiu said casually, then waved to Gui Xiaoxiao and said: "Xiao Xiao, come here! Let me ask you a few questions.
question."
Mi Yurong's little face turned from red to purple, then from purple to black. Watching Gui Xiaoxiao obediently walk up to Tianjiu, she gritted her teeth and trembled: "Humph! Both men and women are not good things! One day, I will
Kick your ass!"
After saying that, his little feet kicked hard at a stone bench in the workshop.
Tianjiu pouted and said to Gui Xiaoxiao: "Xiao Xiao, I will give you three things.
First, from now on, we will start to open Fangshi. You will rename the original Wanbao Pavilion to Tianxing Pavilion. As our base camp, you will be both the steward of Fangshi and the master of Tianxing Pavilion. All transactions will be carried out.
, it’s up to you, Xiaohu and Li Tianhua are your assistants, you can use them around except for daily practice.
Second, write a message slip in the name of the manager of Tiandu Fengfang City. The content is roughly that Tianxing Pavilion in Tiandu Fengfang City will be opened on a certain day. The transmission fee into the city will be free of charge, and there will be a good spirit.
Pigs, elixirs and elixirs are sold at half the price of other places. They are then used to write the mark of divine consciousness on Deacon Mi, and then distributed throughout the country, including within Huachen, Dongcangmen, Tianyimen, Qianjimen, and elixirs.
Shanyun Pavilion, all the small sects in Dongling Mountain, and the casual cultivators you are familiar with, but they are not allowed to be sent to Donglingmen. The matter of finding Deacon Mi will be completed by Xiaomi. Xiaomi, do you have any objections?"
"No!" Mi Yurong said with a dark face.
"Well, there will be no more Xiaomi in the Lingzhu Valley team. You can leave!" Tianjiu said firmly.
"You—! God of Plague, you are so heartless and unjust!" Mi Yurong had tears in her eyes and was about to cry.
"Senior Sister Mi, just agree, isn't it just to ask your father to sign a divine mark?" Wan Bao said in a low voice, for fear of making things worse.
"Okay, just once, don't ask me to do things for her again!" Xiaomi turned around and said, never looking at Tianjiu again.
"Third, Shou Hou and Yu Zicong are responsible for assisting you, Senior Sister Gui, in recruiting all the previous guards. They also recruit the outer disciples of our sect. Their daily remuneration is the same as that of the outer disciples of Dongling Sect. These people are used to maintain this place.
order. Although your Uncle Guard has promised to be responsible for the security here, you still need to have your own line of guards. Otherwise, it will be very unreliable to act based on other people's faces. Xiao Xiao, the accounts of income and expenditure must be listed in detail. I
Will check them one by one."
After Tianjiu finished explaining the three things, he looked at Gui Xiaoxiao and asked, "Did you hear clearly? Are there any questions?"
Gui Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered uncertainly, and he said tremblingly: "Master... no, boss! Where do the crystals come from? The activation cost is a lot of crystals!"
Tianjiu slapped his head: "Oh, I forgot, if you take this, it will be used as the activation crystal."
After saying that, he took out a treasure bag and handed it to Gui Xiaoxiao.
There was no mark on the treasure bag. Gui Xiaoxiao scanned it slightly and his expression changed slightly, but he soon regained his composure. In the treasure bag, there were five hundred high-level crystal stones.
Tianjiu then pulled Wanbao over and quietly handed him a treasure bag. He said via voice transmission: "Wanbao, you may have to go back to the Spirit Pig Valley. This is the feed for raising spirit pigs, and it can support ten thousand spirit pigs.
A month's supply, there are still some crystal stones and elixirs in it, the Xiao Yuan Dan is reserved for you, the other Pei Yuan Dan is for you to give to your brothers for practice, and there is also a few crystal stones for you to prepare for emergencies.
If necessary, you can take Yu Zhiyuan back and find more reliable people to help you. Remember, they also need to step up their training and conduct more combat training. That is our base camp. I may have to go out.
I’ve traveled far away and I probably won’t be able to come back for ten days and a half. I’ll visit you when I get back.”
After listening to this, Wan Bao kept nodding his head without asking anything. He waved to Yu Zhiyuan and muttered a few words. The two of them first bowed to Tian Jiuyi, then gave everyone a fist, and flew away from Fangshi.
