Late at night, Yinshi.
The study room in the side hall of the city lord's mansion.
Qin Ben was still awake. He faced the wall with his hands behind his back, looking at a large map that almost occupied the entire wall.
Silently, a white-haired old man appeared behind him, bowed slightly, and called: "Second Young Master."
Qin Ben turned around, stepped forward and helped him up eagerly, "Uncle Li, thank you for your hard work!"
"I never took action..."
Uncle Li told what happened in detail.
Qin Ben's face kept changing as he heard this, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he finally said: "It seems that Li Henian's praise of him is not unfounded. This Zhong Yan does have some tricks up his sleeve!"
After a pause, he asked: "Is he still an array master?"
Uncle Li shook his head: "They deliberately left some scraps. Judging from the formation patterns on the white jade platform, they must have been made by a second-level formation master. He did not hide that his cultivation was incapable of doing it. In addition, the formation was constructed so well It's quite rough, it can barely move, but it stops after a breath. Strictly speaking, it's not even a beginner, it's just a superficial knowledge, and you can just follow the instructions."
Qin Ben nodded and said with a smile: "That's right. An early-stage outer disciple of the Fire Cloud Sect does not have the conditions to practice talismans and formations at the same time."
Uncle Li said: "However, although this person's cultivation level is low, his fighting ability is extremely high. He can participate in the battles of the monks in the late stage of Qi refining and seize the opportunity to create opportunities. He should have experienced many life and death attacks. Such a person has strong survivability, as long as he is given Give him time, give him the conditions, and he will be of great use when he grows up."
Qin Ben pondered, and sighed softly for a long time: "Four Spiritual Roots, their qualifications are a bit low, the price is too high, but they are enough for the current shortage of manpower."
Uncle Li stopped expressing his opinion and asked instead: "Second Young Master, how is it over there in the capital?"
"It's not a big problem, just wait for the news."
****
A tent in the dense forest.
The three of them each changed out of their night clothes into normal attire.
Bai Siyuan treats the arrow wound on his shoulder.
Yang Yanqing swallowed two pills, took out two storage bags, and began to count and divide the stolen goods.
Magical weapons: two first-level mid-grade items, three second-level low-grade items, and one second-level high-grade item.
Most monks will have two magic weapons, one for common use in combat, and one as a back-up or even a trump card. In the later stages of Qi refining, there will be an additional necessary flying magic weapon.
As for the level, the highest level that can be used during the Qi refining stage is the third-level magic weapon, which may be mainly for killing, or for speed, or for other magical purposes, but it usually requires the support of huge vitality.
The higher the level does not mean the better, taking advantage is the most appropriate.
Spiritual stones: three of middle grade, one hundred and eighty-two of low grade
Pills: Qi Gathering Pill, Guiyuan Pill, Qi Condensing Pill, Bigu Pill, Poison Expelling Pill... a total of 325 pills, most of which are common Qi Condensing Pills and healing pills that are not very valuable.
Talisman: Flying sword talisman, diamond talisman, amulet... there are 129 talismans of various types, basically second level
Various herbs, materials, and spiritual rice supplies.
There is also a magic secret book - "The Art of Condensing Sword"!
The monk has a storage bag that is easy to carry, and he almost always puts important things on him when traveling far away.
Even if there is danger, they still feel that they are more reliable than any other situation. This is a common problem among almost all monks.
Therefore, what is in front of you is basically the family background of the two monks in the late stage of Qi refining, which far exceeds that of the monks in the early and middle stages of Qi refining.
Not counting the "Condensing Sword Technique", by some estimates, it is worth almost 8,000 low-grade spiritual stones, of which the bulk are naturally six magic weapons.
"This is a good deal!"
Yang Yanqing smiled broadly and quickly flipped through "The Art of Sword Condensation", "I don't know how powerful it is..."
Zhong Yan: "What he activated was the "Fire Cloud Technique", which should come from the Fire Cloud Sect. This technique was probably acquired by him privately by chance."
Bai Siyuan smiled from ear to ear: "No matter how rubbish the technique is, it can still be sold for thousands of spirit stones. Even the better ones are sold in units of tens of thousands!"
Yang Yanqing nodded, gathered them together, looked at the two of them and asked: "Copy each of the exercises. I will find a way to do it. If the spiritual stones, elixirs, and talismans are needed, I can also divide them directly. Should the magic weapons and these materials be divided or sold? If you sell it, you have to do it in batches, which will take some time.”
Zhong Yan and Bai Siyuan looked at each other, and the latter said: "Fellow Daoist Yang Lu Ziguang took action together."
"Okay, you two trust Yang, and I will try my best to sell it at a good price so that you don't suffer a loss. Take a closer look."
The division of the spoils is completed.
Zhong Yan said: "I'll send a message home."
Yang Yanqing smiled and said, "Young Daoist Zhong is very affectionate and considerate of your wives and concubines at home."
After leaving the tent and walking some distance away, Zhong Yan took out the second-order sound transmission note and began to cast the condensation spell.
He also refined the 'Transmission Talisman' himself, but it was a first-class high-grade one and could not reach such a long distance.
At the same time, in the main hall of the Zhong Mansion, six wives and concubines were still sitting around the table at night, all staring at a talisman on the table in silence, with extremely worried expressions. The maid Xiaohuan stood aside, not daring to express her anger.
If Zhong Yan couldn't go back this time, they didn't know what to do.
Even though everything is well arranged, as long as they don't spend extravagantly, the Zhong family's wealth is enough for them to live without worries for the rest of their lives.
But they are all women, and their children are so young. They don't have a man to back them up. Thinking about it makes people feel uneasy.
"Did your husband tell you what you were going to do?" Xia He looked at the faces of Jiang Ping and Yan Sandao and asked softly.
Yan Sandao shook his head and was about to speak.
Suddenly, there was a slight buzzing sound, and an invisible light glowed from the talisman on the table, and a voice came out: "Everything goes well, we will return in a few days."
All the beauties stood up one after another, extremely happy. After hugging each other, they looked at the talisman again and wanted to reply and ask, but the monks couldn't do it.
There was a look of exhaustion on Jiang Ping's eyebrows, "Okay, my husband is well, let's go back and have a rest."
Xiao Huan breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and supported the pregnant Jiang Ping with Dong Cao, and said with a smile: "Just tell me, I'm a lucky man, and I will be fine!"
the other side.
Zhong Yan returned to the tent, glanced at Yang and Bai who were both meditating, walked to the corner and lay down, sleeping with his clothes on, the hand in his sleeve still holding the talisman tightly.
Early the next morning, it was just dawn.
The three of them ran for dozens of miles to the nearest village, mounted the horses prepared in advance, and headed towards Fang City.
Yang Yanqing: "With this windfall, what are your plans? Are you going to the Feixian Pavilion to have some fun?"
Bai Siyuan laughed: "It goes without saying, as soon as I mention it, there will be a picture in my mind!"
Zhong Yan glanced over and saw that the two of them looked like "like-minded people". They were obviously "friends" who had been on the battlefield together.
Bai Siyuan turned around and asked, "Where is Zhong Daoyou?"
Zhong Yan showed a troubled look: "I want to go, I have heard about the beauty of those brothel female cultivators a long time ago, but Zhong's qualifications are low, and if he uses all these properties, he may not be able to improve much. His cultivation level cannot keep up, and he is afraid that yesterday This is the only chance to cooperate with these two Taoist brothers."
This is true.
Go, he definitely wants to go.
but.
If "Condensing Sword Art" sells for a good price, tens of thousands of spiritual stones will be used to buy elixirs, and with system assistance, the time to break through to the later stages can be greatly shortened.
More importantly, what if, as speculated, the system of dual cultivation with female monks undergoes major changes, and it is impossible to marry a concubine with spiritual roots in the short term?
No matter how strong his will is and he can resist the temptation of beauty, it is difficult to resist the attraction of improving his cultivation and building a foundation.
At that time, I am afraid that I will get lost and fall into the brothel incense tent, and it will be difficult to save even how much money I sell for the charms.
Bai Siyuan: "You don't need to belittle yourself, Zhong Daoyou. With the identity of a top-grade talisman master, it's just a matter of time to break through to the later stages."
Yang Yanqing's eyes flashed, and he turned around and said magnanimously: "The friendship between the three of us fighting side by side is only a few hundred spirit stones. Fellow Daoist Zhong will go with us. I'll treat you!"
Bai Siyuan smiled and said, "I'm so sorry, I spent a lot of money on fellow Taoists last time."
Zhong Yan was moved in his heart. This guy was backed by the Zhou family in Baiye City. He was really wealthy. He didn't care as much about a few hundred spiritual stones as a few hundred taels of silver.
But it is obviously also to win over and befriend him, so that we can open a talisman shop together in the future.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yang Yanqing laughed and said, "No, Zhong Daoyou, you didn't even go to the invitation. That's really the first time we've seen each other!"
Then he joked again, pretending to be dissatisfied, and squinting: "Is it because I don't want to give Yang some face?!"
Bai Siyuan laughed.
Zhong Yan smiled and said: "How dare you!"
If you go whore for free.
It's really hard to refuse.
