Shen Li returned to the room and found the ring flashing, so he opened his consciousness and communicated with the ring spirit.
"Are you shouting like nothing?" Shen Li asked.
"Master, it's not that I wanted to flash it, it was your book that flashed, so I flashed it to you!" the Nazgul replied.
"Which one?"
"Master, look, this is it."
""Phoenix Body Training Treasure Technique"? What does it mean by flashing? I don't have Phoenix essence and blood, so I can't practice it."
"Master, is it possible?"
"Is it possible that there is Phoenix essence and blood nearby?" Shen Li and the Ring Spirit said in unison.
"No wonder it's called Fengcheng! There must be some connection. Even if I get a drop of it, I'll be rich! How to get it? I just know that there is Phoenix essence and blood, but I don't know the specific location. Even if I know the specific location, I may not be able to get it! "Shen Li said to himself.
"Master, are you stupid? Just because you can't do it doesn't mean that your damn master Tang Qingshan can't do it!"
"Yes, tell my master later, uh, you are not allowed to scold my master in the future! Do you hear me?"
"Okay, Master, I just won't scold your damn master from now on."
"You're still scolding me! My master treats me with great kindness! You're going to kill me with just one mouthful!"
Although Shen Li was lecturing the Ring Spirits, he was indescribably happy in his heart. After all, such legendary things as Phoenix Essence and Blood were actually far away and right before his eyes.
Early on the next morning, Shen Wande took a carriage to the Xiao Mansion and presented a greeting card. A servant of the Xiao family passed the greeting card to an elderly housekeeper named Xiao who was in charge. The elderly housekeeper went out and personally Welcome Shen Wande.
"Master Shen, please say goodbye to Wancheng. How are you? Come in and talk." The elderly butler greeted Shen Wande with a smile on his face and made a "please" gesture.
"Uncle Xiao, I didn't expect to meet again so soon. I'd like Uncle Xiao to be accommodating this time. I have something to meet with the head of the Xiao family." Shen Wande saluted and said respectfully.
"You won't be able to see the Patriarch in the past few days. If you have something urgent, I can arrange for you to meet the third elder of the Xiao family, the Patriarch's younger brother, tomorrow." Butler Xiao said.
Shen Wande said: "That's fine, I won't go in and will come back to bother you tomorrow morning."
"Shopkeeper Shen is here, let's go in and have a cup of tea." Butler Xiao took Shen Wande's arm.
"Then being respectful is worse than obeying orders." Shen Wande and Butler Xiao entered the Xiao Mansion.
The facade of Xiao Mansion is not much different from that of an ordinary wealthy family, except that next to the word "Xiao Mansion" on the plaque, there are two small golden characters "Yu Ti" written vertically. Xiao Mansion is not located in the bustling city, but is located in a corner.
Shen Wande entered Xiao's Mansion. There were no carved beams or painted buildings in the mansion as he had imagined. It was resplendent and slightly simple and elegant. The rockery and green plants were not rare. However, the mansion was very clean. Although it was already autumn, there were no weeds or weeds on the roads. fallen leaves.
"Shopkeeper Shen, please come to the guest room." Butler Xiao opened the door of a room.
"Thank you, Uncle Xiao."
Shen Wande entered the reception room, which was not too big. A display cabinet dedicated to porcelain came into view. Shen Wande had been in business for many years and had done some research on antiques. At a glance, they were all treasures from various dynasties.
As soon as Shen Wande and Butler Xiao sat down in front of the dragon blood nanmu coffee table, the maid brought a pot of good tea. After the maid left, Shen Wande told Butler Xiao that the reason for coming this time had nothing to do with it. Keep it, tell it all.
"Shop Manager Shen, my Xiao family has some friendship with the Alchemist Guild. I have also heard about Sima Xiang. He is a bronze alchemist in his nineties, and his status in the Alchemist Guild is average. However, his nephew Sima Lang is a second-rank warrior in the empire. General, in the later stage of Jindan cultivation, he is still a main combatant, which is a bit tricky."
"Thank you Uncle Xiao for revealing this information. Shen is stupid. I hope Uncle Xiao can enlighten me again."
"If you can persuade the third elder to come forward, the disaster will not affect Wancheng. At most, you will lose money and avoid the disaster. The eldest son of the third elder is a first-class official in the dynasty, an official and a tutor, and the prince's teacher. Although he is not a cultivator, he has a good reputation. Still a little bit."
"My Shen family is weak in strength. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to get help from the three elders?"
"Go back today and I will report this matter to the third elder truthfully."
"Uncle Xiao, you are so kind! The Shen family will thank you very much another day! Farewell."
Shen Wande returned to the post house and informed Shen Li and Liu Lin that they would go to Xiao Mansion tomorrow morning. After the two received the notice, Shen Li went back to his room to continue practicing "Gui Yuan Xi Xing", while Liu Lin went back to his room to watch "Eastern Region" Seven Countries Travel Guide.
Early the next morning, Shen Li put on a white and gray gown, straight hair and a silver crown, dressed like a scholar. If he had a folding fan in his hand, he would have become the suave Tang Bohu in the film and television series.
At Shen Wande's suggestion, Liu Lin stopped wearing official uniform and dressed as a knight to protect the safety of the Shen family and his son.
The three of them arrived at the gate of Xiao's mansion in a carriage.
"The dignified Xiao Mansion is not impressive." Liu Lin curled his lips and said.
The three of them walked to the door. Shen Wande said to one of the servants at the door: "I am the one who gave you the invitation yesterday. Do you remember me?"
"Remember, remember, please wait a moment, distinguished guest, I will inform the butler." The servant brother hurried into the house.
After a while, Butler Xiao came out.
"Everyone has been waiting for a long time, please come in." Butler Xiao said.
"Uncle Xiao, you're welcome. Thank you for your help." Shen Wande gestured with his hand.
"Master Shen, do you ever remember me?" Butler Xiao asked Shen Li as he led the way.
"You are the grandfather who took my poetry test last time." Shen Li said.
"Mr. Shen's poems are good. Someone wants to test you today!" Butler Xiao smiled.
Shen Li also smiled and thought to himself: "At any rate, I was also an undergraduate in my previous life. Although I couldn't memorize "Three Hundred Tang Poems", it was not a problem to memorize 80 poems. How dare you test my poetry? See if I can't memorize the poems. Poems from immortals, sages of poetry, demons of poetry, and ghosts of poetry will be compiled for you!"
"When soldiers come, we will block it. When water comes, we will cover it up with earth. Please do as you wish!" Shen Li said.
"You bastard! How dare you be rude!" Shen Wande lectured Shen Li.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, young people are a little crazy." Butler Xiao said with a smile.
"What's wrong with young people being crazy? If they're not crazy, can they still be called young people?" Shen Liyan said.
Shen Wande glared at Shen Li as if he wanted to kill someone. Shen Li hesitated to speak, but Liu Lin touched his chin and nodded in agreement with Shen Li's words.
Walking through the simple and unpretentious Qianmen Courtyard of Xiao Mansion, you will find a world of wonder as you walk further inside. Pavilions, pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, the carvings are exquisite and lifelike, the balconies are gorgeous, golden bricks, glazed tiles, rare green plants everywhere, even ordinary ones. However, the stone benches and tables were all made of spirit stones, and the three of them were amazed by their luxury. Even Liu Lin, a golden elixir stage immortal cultivator who had seen the grand scene, was moved by it.
"Is this the imperial palace?" Liu Lin sighed.
"This distinguished guest, please don't talk nonsense, he will be here soon." Butler Xiao glanced sideways at Liu Lin.
