Even though Xiao Mingzhen was a monk who behaved a little erratically and even acted out of character, which was incompatible with his family background, this girl who knew how to repay kindness still decisively rejected Jiang Feng's request.
"First of all, you need to have good teaching skills. It's better to have other skills. The price shouldn't be too expensive. It's best to pay every year instead of paying in one lump sum every ten years. I remember it right."
"That's right. If it's from the Xiao family, that would be even better."
"Would it be better if I were the one to pay, Master Jiang?" She stretched out the word "master" very long. There were no outsiders present. Xiao Mingzhen sat on the varnished table as usual, with his arms raised.
He lifted up her white legs, clasped her hands on her undulating chest, and looked at Jiang Feng with a joking look.
"No, I will still pay. Of course, if you are willing to pay, I will not refuse. You have already advanced to Xuan-level monk, so you must not be short of the money." Jiang Fengfu had already seen Xiao Mingzhen as soon as he saw her.
Because of the changes in his cultivation level, he had suffered a secret loss in the opponent's "Soul Warming Touch" natal skill before, so he deliberately kept a longer distance from him, for fear that the opponent would realize more powerful skills at the Xuan level and discover his own more powerful skills.
There are many secrets, such as the various grievances of the Tonglingcage Chamber of Commerce, such as the secret of Tuoba Tu's death, although these things may not be of much value to the Xiao family.
"We haven't seen each other for a few days. Master Jiang Da is not very good at cultivation. Unexpectedly, he has learned the skill of free prostitution!"
"Whoring for nothing?"
When Jiang Feng heard this word, he was a little confused for a moment, and a strange look appeared on his face. This word was not difficult to understand. The problem was, Xiao Ming was really a lady, why did this word suddenly appear?
"Hey, forget it, forget it, pretend I didn't say it." Xiao Mingzhen seemed to realize that this word was quite indecent, and quickly changed the topic, "It's just some recent buzzwords. If I can offset the third debt I owed you,
Conditions, I can help you advance, you are right, now that I have advanced to Xuan level, I can indeed get more resources in my hands, but you are too late."
"Late?"
"That's right. In three days, I will go to the ancestral land in the west of Dongji City to conduct the initial training of 'Tian Luo Feng Qing Wu'. Within three days, it will be difficult for me to find a suitable candidate for you."
"Don't you have to go, Xiao Minghan?" Jiang Feng recalled that when he was in the Xiao family to select candidates for awakening, the scholar's face turned gloomy after hearing the news that he could awaken.
"Of course not. In terms of inheritance, 'Tian Luo Feng Qing Wu' is more suitable for female cultivators. Previously, it was just restricted by family rules, so we had to settle for the next best thing." When Xiao Mingzhen talked about this, his face was as calm as water, and the two of them were chatting happily.
The atmosphere has also become lonely. It must be that the practice of 'Tianluo Fengqingwu' is not as simple as learning ordinary skills for monks.
"Sometimes, don't push yourself too hard."
"Oh, let me teach you. You should first think about how to break through the prefecture level. Don't call me senior when the time comes." Yi's eyes became clear again, and there was a bit of stubbornness on the corner of his mouth, "This is my own choice, you
Don't worry." She suddenly stretched out her hand, "I guess your golden abacus won't agree to use the third condition to offset it, so return the things to me!"
"What?"
"Earrings!"
"I have to use it for a while." Jiang Feng retreated slightly. It wasn't that the thing couldn't be returned to her, but the remaining mysterious skills on the earrings and the number of times they were used. If she handed them over, many secrets would be exposed.
"You hum!"
Suddenly there was a knock on the door by a maid. Xiao Mingzhen quickly jumped down and stood up solemnly. The person who was called in just now was the fat maid who had helped guard Xiao Mingzhen's awakening before. "Miss, Master Minghan is here, listen."
Master Yan Jiang is here, he will come in person to thank you for your previous help."
"He is happy, let him come over." Xiao Mingzhen pursed her red lips and relaxed her brows, "That's good, you can find a solution to your problem."

Qianshan Sect, Luochuan, Muyang Lane.
Zhou Xing is saying his final farewell to several clan elders. In the martial arts competition a few days ago, the Zhou family has just made its mark. In addition to Zhou Xuyao, who entered the top eight, the two younger brothers Zhou Xulie and Zhou Cailing won a small victory each, and their results were quite good.
, in addition to the rewards given by the sect, Zhou Xing also took a small amount from the settlement fee given by Jiang Feng as a reward to encourage his children to improve their cultivation.
"Pay attention to safety, and don't risk everything." The speaker was a clan elder with white hair and beard, who was also Zhou Xing's uncle and the most prestigious person in the direct lineage of the Zhou family.
"I don't dare to deal with the entrustment of the master. Uncle, please rest assured that I will take good care of Xu Yang and Xu Ming."
Unlike Zhou Xulie and Zhou Cailing, these two people failed to achieve any victory in the martial arts competition, so according to the rules, they were unable to accept Wei Ruoguang's personal inheritance. Zhou Xing wanted to take them with him to Donghu County, and on the one hand, he personally guided them.
On the other hand, they also have the idea of taking other paths once the Dao fails. However, they are not very young, so naturally they cannot directly destroy their confidence in cultivating the Dao. This is something that the clan elder knows, and he also knows that the so-called Dao does not mean
Not every monk who awakens to the Dharma can reach the end.
This road is much narrower and more dangerous than imagined. As the saying goes, "One person can attain enlightenment among thousands of tombs," it is not always smooth sailing along the way of cultivation.
Chen Xin and Wei Zhe, one is ten years old and the other is eleven years old, two young spiritual monks, with gray-black faces and rough hands, they can easily be seen as coming from the countryside. They were appointed by the master to become Zhou Xing's apprentices, and together they
Go to Donghu County to practice.
Zhou Xing comes from an ordinary background, and he has some sympathy for the disciples who are not his direct lineage and come from remote places. However, he has few cultivation resources at hand. Fortunately, the leader is fair and does not favor one against another. Like Shen Junmao, he
He was also awarded fifty second-level spiritual stones to use as funds to manage all affairs in Donghu County. Everything was at his disposal, so naturally he could allocate some of them to the training of his two disciples.
Despite this, Zhou Xing still planned to keep a small account and list all expenses. On the one hand, it was to keep public and private affairs separate. On the other hand, he had never held a similar position before, so he had to carefully ensure that every spiritual stone was used.
All expenditures should be used in practical ways to avoid being stretched at critical moments.
Jiang Hai walked with him and handled slave-related matters. Some slaves were also assigned to Zhou Xing to assist in handling mundane affairs. Everything was kept simple. After bidding farewell to the clan elders and everyone in the Zhou family, the five carriages headed south.
, and headed straight for Donghu County.
…………
After coming out of the Xiao Mansion, Jiang Feng had been considering Xiao Minghan's commission all the way. He and Xiao Mingzhen pointed out a clear path for him, that is, Xiao Mingbao. His mother was born in the Chu family of the powerful clan, and his aunt Chu Wenyin was skilled in Mongolian religion, and was in Zhenwu.
She is quite famous in the city, and many handsome young men from the Xiao family and the Chu family have studied in her school in the past few years.
In addition, Chu Wenyin, who was in the middle of the Xuan level, was proficient in the art of "spiritual planting". However, after Xiao Mingbao's physical appearance was damaged and became ill, she gave up her enthusiasm for teaching and went to look for Xiao Mingbao's deceased biological mother instead.
The doctor asked for medicine in order to help his nephew get rid of the disease and get back on his feet. If Jiang Feng could find a way to cure Xiao Mingbao, then his aunt Chu Wenyin would spare no effort to help Jiang Feng without taking any money, and would personally go to the Qianshan Sect to take charge of the post of Monk.
Not taking any money, which made Jiang Feng's eyes light up!
It’s difficult!
It's not like Jiang Feng has never seen Xiao Mingbao's situation before. The black air wrapped around the red coral dharma image is roughly the same as the black mist that Mo Qiuquan wants to pull away from his dharma image. In addition, the sentence in Mo Qiuquan's jade slip "Fuyuan Town"
, "Don't pass by in the past two years, there are records of the Xiao family's spies" there. Jiang Feng can basically be convinced that this matter was done by the Lingcong Chamber of Commerce.
The evidence is basically sufficient, but it will involve yourself. Facing the powerful Xiao family, the Spirit Cage Merchant Guild cannot be considered too small. Judging from Mo Qiuquan's prefecture-level cultivation, the Xiao family's power is relatively weak.
Of course, if you are willing to sacrifice your interests in exchange for the participation of Li Sect or even the same sect, then the balance of strength can be easily reversed. Maybe the Xiao family has already realized the possibility of the Lingcage Chamber of Commerce committing crimes, but it is just inconvenient to expose, or it is difficult to say, or it is not revealed, or
Simply ignore it, after all, the victim is just a disciple with spiritual level cultivation.
"Go and see Xiao Mingbao when you have time." Jiang Feng took the opportunity to explain to Ren Xiaolong, and handed him a voucher for visiting Xiao Minghan of the Xiao family that he had requested in advance, "Do you still remember what happened in Fuyuan Town?"
"Master..." Ren Xiaolong looked bitter.
"What's the problem?"
"Will I be, detained?"
"Are you wrong?"
"I, I ran away first, I'm sorry brother." Ren Xiaolong looked ashamed.
"If you make a mistake, correct it. With this note, the Xiao family will not make it difficult for you. They will arrange for you to meet Xiao Mingbao. As a brother who once played together, you have to go and repair your mistakes yourself."
"Yes." With the guarantee from the leader, Ren Xiaolong did not dare to be pretentious anymore, "The incident in Fuyuan Town has been a long time ago, and I have always wanted to see him. I only remember that we passed a strange place in the mountains at that time.
Xiao Mingbao once went in to investigate the cave, but then something unexpected happened and the pain all over my body was unbearable, so I had no choice but to go to the nearest place to report the news. But when I went to look for it later, the cave was no longer there."
"What details do you remember about that cave?"
"It was cold. I remember Xiao Mingbao also joked that there was thousands of years of ice inside, and he wanted to go in with me to dig some out to relieve the heat. But I didn't go in, and he jumped in. Seeing that I didn't want to come down, he went out of the cave without exploring in depth.
, he said it was freezing cold down there, there was the sound of running water, and he didn’t know where it was going.”
It looks like a cave, Jiang Feng thought. There are indeed many caves near Fuyuan Town, and several previous leaders are buried there. If you want to find a way to cure Xiao Mingbao, you still have to go to Fuyuan Town in person.
And just find that cave.
…………
Jiang Feng arrived at the "Black Donkey Zhang" store in the evening. Compared with the last time, the size of the store had expanded. Yu Xiaozheng and Yu Xiaoman were not here, so it was a waste of time. With the help of Linglong Baoguang, Jiang Feng bought
Ten ordinary cheap magic weapons are needed for subsequent divination. These junk only cost ten second-level pieces. No need to look at the attributes. They are probably the best among junk. However, there is no need to care about these details as the consumable materials for divination.
He went straight to Yu Xiaozheng's private house, just as he was about to go out.
"Long time no see, I was just looking for you." Yu Xiaozheng seemed to have just sat down and was filling himself with water to quench his thirst when he threw a jade box over.
"What is it?" Jiang Feng opened it and saw that it was a blue pill, about the size of a thumb.
"The Jade Wind Half Armor Pill is used for Xuan level impact cultivation, but it can only be used once."
"How could such a good thing happen?" Yu Xiaozheng didn't seem to be such a generous person.
"Uncle Sixteen gave it to you. If you want it, take it. If you don't want it, you can return it to me."
"I have a bad temper today. I thought it was your seventh uncle who gave me this." A stereotyped image with a stinging aura appeared in front of Jiang Feng's eyes, Yu Chengke, a prefecture-level monk.
"You think so." When talking about Yu Chengke, Yu Xiaozheng couldn't help but look serious, "I have never gotten anything from Uncle Qi in my life, but this time my sister got a lot from him.
No reward. I dare you to take credit for your achievements this time. Please tell me what happened, but they refused to tell me."
"First, tell me what rewards your sister got." Jiang Feng actually wanted to know if there were inheritances related to the prefecture level, or high-level non-standard talismans.
"No need to make any excuses, I can't tell you. Anyway, it should be used to help my sister reach the Xuan level. You have to work hard." Yu Xiaozheng smiled at Jiang Feng with the look of an elder looking at a junior, "We are going to be caught up."
"I have something to ask you." Jiang Feng changed the subject. Yu Xiaozheng still couldn't let Yu Xiaozheng know about the ruins.
"You just said you wanted to catch up, now you've come up with conditions. Tell me."
Jiang Feng came one by one. The conditions of the Xiao family were too difficult. He hoped that Yu Xiaozheng could have some connections. Although his reliability was not at the same level as that of Yu Xiaoman, at least the conditions should be easier.
"You're obviously going to have sex for free!"
Yu Xiaozheng summarized Jiang Feng's appeal in one sentence, but Jiang Feng was confused again.
