Yangquanfang City.
Seeing Zhong Yan approaching, Ma Zhida took the initiative to greet him with a smile, "Junior Brother Zhong is here!"
Even the title has changed.
From no title, to 'Friend Zhong Dao', and now to 'Junior Brother Zhong'.
Naturally, it was due to the fact that Zhong Yan would hand over a spiritual stone every time he came over, and he even gave two pieces last time.
"Senior Brother Ma!"
Zhong Yan held up his hands, chatted for a few words, and walked into the market, gaining a new understanding of Mazhida's backstage.
The duty here rotates every six months, but Ma Zhida was able to re-elect the position with such abundant oil and water.
Without wandering around much, Zhong Yan went straight to the Fire Cloud Pavilion.
This time I carried more talismans, and there were still a lot of spiritual stones left after the sale.
Originally, he wanted to ask Li Henian to come with him, but unexpectedly, he had something to do and was out of town.
He could only complete the transaction and go home as soon as possible, and not stay in the market any longer to avoid being noticed and followed.
The shopkeeper in charge of the talisman trade in Huoyun Pavilion is a second-level elder of the Huoyun Sect named Lin Zhengping.
After several transactions, we are already familiar with each other.
At this moment, Lin Zhengping finally paid attention, "Zhong Daoyou has a high success rate in making talismans. How many are there this time?"
"Elder Lin commends me, but my disciple's qualifications are mediocre. I can only rely on making talismans to save more spiritual stones to buy elixirs. I don't dare to hope for foundation building. I only hope that my cultivation will improve and I will live for a few more years."
“Keep hope alive.”
Lin Zhengping smiled, took the cloth bag, opened it, and counted the talismans one by one. Sure enough, it was the same as last time. Although it was not obvious, the level of talisman making had been improving.
He raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at Zhong Yan. He carefully considered the talismans again and said with a smile: "Five hundred and sixty-two. The quality of various talismans varies. Together, you will get two hundred low-grade spiritual stones. You also need materials." ?"
Ten dollars more than expected.
Obviously the other party is showing kindness.
Zhong Yan smiled and said: "I want Elder Laolin, fifty copies of the Vajra Talisman, fifty copies of the Flying Sword Talisman..."
After buying the materials, there are still a hundred spiritual stones left, plus the more than thirty left at home, which is a lot of wealth for a fourth-level Qi Refining casual cultivator.
After the transaction was completed, Zhong Yan went out and saw Chen Lianping walking quickly.
A trace of surprise flashed in both of their eyes.
Zhong Yan instantly showed a smile and raised his hands in greeting: "I've met Senior Brother Chen!"
Chen Lianping glanced at the Talisman Trading Room, snorted as a response, and walked quickly to the stairs leading to the second floor. He must have something urgent, and he didn't care about his usual taunting.
After walking hundreds of meters from Huoyun Pavilion, Zhong Yan looked back and narrowed his eyes slightly, realizing that Chen Lianping had received a long-term sect mission and was stationed in Yangquanfang City for a long time.
After pondering for a while, he changed his schedule and walked towards a shop that bought and sold formation materials.
Half an hour later, he left the market, handed Ma Zhida two spiritual stones as usual, and galloped away.
After running for two hundred miles, he changed direction and rushed into the mountains.
After finding a suitable location, Zhong Yan took out the formation materials from the storage ring, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart: "Is it because I can't completely carve the formation pattern, so the formation is not up to the level?"
He has studied the 'Spirit Gathering Array' and the 'Small Psychedelic Array', and can construct them independently as long as the materials are complete.
However, there is not enough heat in the formation of the pattern to completely depict it.
Some of the materials in front of me are leftover from previous use. I bought a ready-made 'white jade platform' with the formation pattern carved from a store earlier, which cost more than 60 spiritual stones.
"If you are seeking death on your own, you can't blame me."
"You have caused me to lose so many spiritual stones, so your death is considered worthy."
…
…
Zhongfu.
In the blink of an eye, Zhong Yan has been gone for five days.
Jiang Ping and Yan Sandao, who hadn't seen him back yet, were completely panicked.
"What can we do? My husband said it should be within four days at the latest!"
"Has your husband ever been late before?"
"No, my husband is always on time. It's just a few days. This is more than one day. You won't encounter any trouble, right?"
Seeing the anxious expressions of the two masters, Xiao Huan said weakly: "Madam, Second Madam, Master Jiren has his own destiny, and there will be no danger."
Jiang Ping glanced at the gate again, pursed her lips and said, "In this case, I will go to the Li Mansion to ask and ask Senior Li to come out of the city to meet him."
"My sister is pregnant, let me go!"
"Then Xiaohuan, take the second lady to Li's Mansion. Go and come back quickly!"
Zhong Mansion and Li Mansion are both in the South District, separated by only four streets.
Yan Sandao left for a stick of incense and then returned.
"How is my sister?"
"Senior Li is not here either. He has been out of town for more than half a month!"
Jiang Ping comforted herself and said, "Is it possible that my husband and Senior Li met in Fangshi and went to do something together?"
"possible."
Yan Sandao was much calmer and took Jiang Ping's hand and shook it, "Sister, don't worry, wait one more night. If your husband doesn't come back, I will go to Fangshi to look for him tomorrow morning."
Jiang Ping nodded, thought for a while and then said: "Xiaohuan prepare some gifts and come with me to the city lord's mansion tomorrow to find out the news."
…
Qingyang City is a hundred miles away.
A black horse chases the sunset.
When we reached the fork in the road, another white horse came from the official road on the right, a man and a woman riding together. The man was wearing the uniform of a disciple of the Huoyun Sect.
Looking around, Li Henian tightened the reins and slowed down, and shouted with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Xu!"
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Li."
Two horses join together and run parallel.
Li Henian glanced at the girl in tattered clothes sitting behind the man, and said teasingly: "You Taoist friend is really lucky. Where can you find this little beauty when you have such an affair?"
The man laughed and said casually: "Luck is good luck, but it is not an affair. Yesterday when I was passing through Huangniu Town, I saw her passed out on the side of the road. Seeing her good appearance, I wanted to save her and keep her as a concubine, but when I checked, I found out... He is still an extremely good young man with spiritual roots!"
"Tianlinggen?" Li Henian was shocked and glanced at the girl who hugged the man tightly.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that. Originally, this trip was to test the spiritual roots and recruit disciples. With her, not only can I submit the task, but I can also receive a large reward."
"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Xu, you have found a great opportunity!"
Li Henian sighed with a smile, but his right eyelid twitched unconsciously, and asked: "This person is also a great fortune. After joining the Huoyun Sect, not only did he soar to the sky, but his family also became rich and powerful, but he is from Huangniu Town? Another day Li Let’s try our luck and see if we can find a woman with spiritual roots, even five spiritual roots, haha~”
"Wei came here to escape from trouble. If it's my turn to be in Scalper Town, it's my turn!"
Li Henian's pupils shrank, he glanced back, his heart skipped a beat, and he called out, "Hey, fellow Daoist Xu, what's behind that?"
The man turned his head.
Tsk~
Li Henian jumped up on his horse and penetrated the man's chest with his sword.
…
Ugly late at night.
The bell mansion is still brightly lit.
Jiang Ping and Yan Sandao had been sitting in the front yard waiting, while the little maid leaned her back against a pillar and dozed off.
"Sister, go back to your room and rest first. Staying up late is not good for your health."
"How can I sleep soundly..."
Before he finished speaking, there was movement outside.
Jiang Ping and Yan Sandao looked at each other and stood up together to greet him quickly.
really.
Zhong Yan opened the door and walked in with a smile on his face.
"Husband!"
"Husband, you are back!"
Zhong Yan opened his arms and took the two of them into his arms, "Worrying the two ladies."
Xiaohuan closed the door and said with a smile: "Master, if you don't come back, the second lady will go to Fangshi to look for her!"
At this time, there was an urgent knock on the door.
Jiang Ping was suspicious, "Who is it so late?"
Xiaohuan looked at the faces of the three owners, then turned around and opened the door.
Li Henian strode in and said with a solemn expression: "Brother, it's urgent!"
"You guys rest first."
Zhong Yan patted the two ladies on the shoulders and led Li Henian to the training room.
