Zuo Gaofeng and Tan Bazhang were very surprised when they saw that Liu Xiaolou had obtained four jars of bamboo leaves and green leaves. They also had the idea of selling Teng Ling Wine, but they couldn't get that much. Now it's almost impossible to buy Teng Ling Wine in Tianmenfang City. They wanted to see Wei Hongqing to see if there was any way, but even Wei Hongqing couldn't see him. .
They didn't even know that Wei Hongqing was the new owner of Hongji Restaurant.
It seemed that Brother Wei treated people differently, both internally and externally. Liu Xiaolou couldn't help but feel a little complacent. In this case, of course he couldn't tell them about Wei Hongqing. He just told them that it was very hard for him to collect these wines. It was purely a hard job to go from house to house and he earned money for running errands.
In this way, Zuo Gaofeng and Tan Bazhang did not delve into it further. For these four jars of wine, Liu Xiaolou went down the mountain and worked hard for six whole days. This was really a real way to earn money for running errands.
Manager Hou was very satisfied with the four jars of wine and accepted it on the spot. Liu Xiaolou received sixty taels of gold. But he also proposed to buy it directly with spiritual stones next time, because he didn't have that much gold and silver on hand - after all, the gold and silver he paid to Liu Xiaolou was almost a thousand taels of silver.
Liu Xiaolou did not dare to delay. It was impossible for the Qingyu Sect and the various sects in western Hunan to have long-term disputes. No one knew how long the time window was. It was definitely not a time to be lazy. It was a trip as long as possible.
Sixty taels of gold were worth six hundred and sixty or seventy taels of silver, and he could buy eight jars of bamboo leaves and greens. However, Hongji Restaurant could only give him one jar a day, and he had to find someone to give it to him, so he had to wait.
During these days of waiting, Liu Xiaolou was not idle. He was thinking about how to come up with a way to get close to Manager Hou. But to be honest, the two of them were not familiar with each other. The only thing they knew was that Steward Hou liked to buy meat.
So Liu Xiaolou walked around Tianmenfang City to see if he could buy some. But the rare meats sold in Tianmenfang Market are all ridiculously expensive. For example, the lowest-grade Black Mountain Spirit Piglets require three spirit stones per head, or the Seven-tailed Goose from Beidi Tianxing Peak, which is high-end and costs two. Liu Xiaolou couldn't afford to give away ten spiritual stones.
He simply traveled back and forth between Wuling Mountain and Tianmenfang City, going into the mountains to search for prey during the day, and going to Hongji Restaurant to eat and drink at night.
I went there for two days in a row but gained nothing. It was not until my third visit that I saw a rare green-feathered pheasant. This green-feathered pheasant is extremely flexible in movement and has keen perception. From Liu Xiaolou's perspective, its fighting ability is almost as good as that of a big white goose. Although it cannot be said to be a genuine spiritual bird, it is relatively rare and was given to Hou as a gift. It's also appropriate to be in charge.
Regardless of whether the meat tastes good or not, at least it’s fresh!
So after tracking for more than two hours, I finally captured the green-feathered pheasant.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Liu Xiaolou hurried back and unexpectedly encountered a robber on the road.
There were three robbers, all wearing bamboo hats and black scarves. They surrounded Liu Xiaolou from the shelter and captured him.
Liu Xiaolou's first reaction was that the flood had washed away the Dragon King Temple. Could these three be Wulongshan's own comrades? There are hundreds of casual cultivators in Wulongshan. I just started out not long ago, and I don’t recognize most of them. Misunderstandings are inevitable, so I introduce myself to my family: "I'm in Wulongshan..."
Before they finished speaking, the three robbers had already taken action, each drawing a magic weapon and slashing at them. The leader said fiercely: "It doesn't matter where you are from, just bury them here today!"
Don't follow the rules!
Liu Xiaolou had no choice but to accept the challenge. He found it extremely difficult to make the move. The cultivation level of the three opponents is not very high, but they are firmly suppressing him. They are roughly at the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining. The only problem is that their attacks are not ruthless enough. From this alone, you know that they are not Wulongshan comrades.
Although the opponent's attack was not ruthless, Liu Xiaolou's cultivation level was low, and the Three Mysterious Sword Techniques did not have much power. His execution was mediocre, and he was surrounded by danger after just a few blocks. If it had been last year, he would have fallen into trouble here, and the Sanxuan Sect would have never been the same, but today, there are more ways to save his life.
In a hurry, he took off the array plate jade from his waist and threw it on the ground. His thoughts connected with the formation plate, and the Linyuan Black Stone Formation was triggered immediately.
This was the first time Liu Xiaolou used formations to respond to the enemy. Although he had asked Xing Dejun to help verify the power of the formations that day, it was different from actual combat, so he was still uneasy.
The sight of the three robbers suddenly changed, as if they were in the courtyard of a wealthy family, and appeared in a pavilion by the pool.
"Illusion formation!" The leader immediately shouted: "Two brothers, explore the formation!"
To put it bluntly, the phantom formation is a blinding method that causes those who enter the formation to have hallucinations. The actual damage effect is not obvious. You only need to penetrate the formation eye, and you can easily break out of the phantom formation. As for where the formation eye is, it depends The cognitive level of those who join the battle has increased.
Of course, even if you don't recognize the formation's eyes, if your strength is much higher than that of the formation's master, you can use your superior cultivation to forcefully break the formation and still escape.
The other two agreed and immediately began to explore the courtyard.
The leader flew out the magic weapon spear, poured the true essence into it, and threw it everywhere in the courtyard to test the reality of the formation; the other two were wandering in the courtyard. No matter how they walked, they could never leave the courtyard. Come out of the white wall that doesn't look high.
The three robbers obviously didn't understand the formation, and naturally they couldn't find the formation's eye. However, everyone knew the principle of breaking it with brute force. Although they couldn't find the formation's eye for a while, they didn't panic.
They had been following Liu Xiaolou for a long time and made a rough judgment on his cultivation level - no more than the fourth level of Qi Refining. Such a low level of cultivation cannot support too advanced a formation, so what are you afraid of?
The spear is like a dragon. It hits the pavilion first, then the fish pond, then the willow tree, then the stone bridge, and then the wing room. The lightning is everywhere, and it is powerful. After hitting them all, I felt that none of them were correct, so I temporarily stopped and thought about it.
"Zima, Zilu, is there anything strange?" the leader of the robbers asked loudly while looking around the courtyard.
"Two brothers?"
"Zima? Zilu?"
After asking several times, no one answered. The leader of the robber suddenly became suspicious. He had just seen the two brothers entering the wing one after another. Why didn't he respond?
He was greatly disturbed, and immediately jumped out of the pond pavilion with a gun, and went to the wing opposite the fish pond in full alert.
As I approached the wing, I felt that the sky was getting darker, and within a few steps, day turned to night. After a pause, the bandit leader realized that the change in skylight had no effect on him, so he reached out to push the door, and the door creaked open...
The bandit leader was suddenly startled. The two brothers were each sitting on the embroidered pier, looking intently at the end of the hall, their faces red, their hands clenched tightly... Well...
"Zima! Zilu!"
However, the two brothers seemed not to have heard anything. They were still red-eyed and slightly arched, competing with themselves.
The bandit leader was so surprised that he couldn't help but look into the side room. When he looked at it, he was also stunned.
Then, there was an extra embroidery pier in the wing, and there was one more person on the embroidery pier. The three brothers looked at the huge bed at the end of the wing with relish, their bodies arched from time to time, like three big shrimps...
