"Whose jade plaque is it?" Hong Tianyou asked in confusion. He read the words on the jade plaque, "Hu...Hu...Sixi!"
"Ah, Hu...How come Hu Sixi's jade token...is in your hand!" Hong Tianyou's voice suddenly trembled, his body trembled, and his turbid eyes shot out like a wild beast. He jumped up and held Xue Tong's shoulders tightly, shaking him violently.
Xue Tong broke away and said loudly: "Manager Hong, don't worry, I found it in the demon rat hole."
Xue Tong killed the rat and found a secret passage leading to the other side of the mountain in the demon rat's nest. He estimated the direction and dug out the entrance to the original rat's nest near the jade field, which had been covered with turf shrubs. He found Bu Lu in the hole. Two sect jade tablets.
After listening to this, Hong Tianyou's face turned red instantly and he burst into tears. A forty-year-old man cried like a child.
Xue Tong waited for him to vent for a while, then stepped forward and patted his shoulder, "Brother Hong has been vindicated. It's gratifying and congratulatory. You should be happy."
"Oh, look, Hong is so rude, I'm laughing at you." Hong Tianyou said, wiping away his tears.
The two reported to the Law Enforcement Hall and the Deacon Hall overnight, and it was confirmed that the two missing servants were caused by monsters. Hong Tianyou's guilt was greatly reduced, and 90% of the 200 sect contribution points deducted were returned!
With this, Hong Tianyou met the standard with contribution points and was promoted to an inner disciple, worshiping under the sect of Deacon Hall Hua Tianhe.
His two major wishes were fulfilled by Xue Tong in one fell swoop. Hong Tianyou was so grateful that he spent all his money to collect the five thousand spiritual stones promised in the past and sent five more explosive bombs.
"Brother Xue, my weapon-making skills are not good, but because of the blasting of rocks in the quarry, I am particularly focused on explosive bombs. The quality of the explosive bombs I made is acceptable. I will give these explosive bombs to my brother and exchange them for money for my own use. Listen. It’s your convenience.”
"In the past, when Brother Xue was in the quarry, Hong didn't take good care of him, and he even caused a slight stumbling block. Brother Xue ignored his past grudges and made Hong feel ashamed. He is extremely grateful!" Hong Tianyou said with a look of shame on his face.
"Brother Hong's words are serious. Things in the past are excusable, and Brother Hong's actions were extremely harmful. He even offended Huang Qing because of it. There is no need to mention it again." Xue Tong said.
According to Xue Tong's philosophy of being a human being, a man has a clear sense of grudges and grievances, but he has extenuating circumstances and shouldn't pursue things that cause minor damage. You must also look at the nature of a person.
Hong Tianyou's character is not bad, so Xue Tong is willing to associate with him, and he can have one more person to deal with Lu Huanzhi and Huang Qing together.
He always felt that the viciousness of these two people would be peeping in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.
"I swear that I will never fight with the two thieves Lu and Huang!" Hong Tianyou gritted his teeth after hearing Xue Tongyan and Huang Qing.
…
Xue Tong's major direction of training, law refining and body refining, has never slackened, and is in the process of advancement. His Dharma Sea in the middle period of martial arts is becoming more and more perfect, and every step forward in the Nightmare Bone True Demon Art should be compared with others. For a long period, his overall cultivation speed was still much faster than ordinary people.
In the middle three years of his martial arts apprenticeship, based on the dosage of one pill of Hunyuan Dan in half a month and the progress of the Three Yuan Jue, Fahai should be full, but perhaps it is the physical changes brought about by the Nightmare Bone Jue that have caused the mana stored in the meridians and Fahai to be full. It surged and could not be fully repaired.
This is similar to the situation before his mid-level promotion.
"There is no need to rush. The growth rate of mana is not slow, so there is no need to rush. The only shortcoming is that the identity of the inner disciples will have to wait for a while. Now all kinds of martial arts and martial arts are available, so just let it go."
Xue Tong's mentality was stable, he arranged his training schedule in an orderly manner and acted according to the plan.
…
Pixia Peak is where the female disciples of the inner sect of the Yunxiao Sect live concentratedly.
There is no such pedantic rule in Taoism as men and women should not be intimate with each other, but living in separate areas and widening the distance can make it difficult for young people to create sparks, which can always play a more or less preventive role.
The number of female disciples at Pixia Peak has increased dramatically, and women pass by from time to time on the mountain road.
"There are quite a few female disciples!" Xue Tong muttered to himself. He was looking for Zhu Qingling to compete with the bone puppet and the spirit lion as agreed.
Before he arrived at Zhu Qingling's house, he heard the roar of a lion.
The courtyard door was ajar, and Xue Tong pushed it open and saw a golden lion and a red-armored warrior puppet fighting fiercely in the center of the field.
The warrior puppet wheel lifted up a fist as big as a bowl and smashed it down, and the golden lion struck out with his palm. The strength of both sides was evenly matched.
However, the speed of the Golden Lion was obviously faster. The warrior puppet kept adjusting its position clumsily, barely keeping its front facing the Golden Lion.
"Giggle..." Zhu Qingling laughed so hard that her branches trembled.
"You're such a clumsy puppet."
"Hehe, I haven't practiced for a long time, and I'm a little inferior to my junior sister's spirit lion."
Standing next to Zhu Qingling is a tall and handsome man, Ma Shaochong!
As he spoke, the golden lion roared, threw the warrior puppet from the side, and bit the puppet's neck fiercely.
Zhu Qingling shouted low, and Jin Yanshi let go of the warrior puppet. He roared a few more times in dissatisfaction, waved his tail, and returned to Zhu Qingling.
The warrior puppet's neck was covered with tooth marks and he struggled to get up.
Seeing this scene, Xue Tong's face immediately darkened, and he felt an inexplicable anger.
"Ma Shaochong made a puppet to please Zhu Qingling and act as a sparring partner!"
"Zhu Qingling threw away the agreement with me and talked and laughed with Ma Shaochong. It's so irritating."
When Zhu Qingling saw Xue Tong at the door, he was a little surprised and said: "Xue Tong, are you looking for me? Are you here to compete too?"
"The Golden Yan Lion is too fierce, I can't compare!" Xue Tong responded irritably, turned around and left.
He caught a glimpse of Ma Shaochong's cold gaze and quickened his pace even more.
…
Zongmen inner city.
The sun is half setting, and before the market closes, it is the time of day when you most want to do business. Xue Tong wandered around absentmindedly for a while. He did not go to Cangliuhui's shops, and he had no intention of patronizing the stalls of those shrewd middle-aged people.
He calmed down and walked towards a metasequoia tree. A woman who looked younger than him caught his attention.
"This woman looks quite cute. At least she is easier to get to than Zhu Qingling."
The woman was probably a new outer disciple who had just arrived. She was in her late teens, with delicate facial features, smoky eyebrows and thin lips, and a faint hint of helplessness in her eyes.
The stall in front of her looked extremely bad. It was littered with all kinds of things, including animal bones, turtle shells, black metal blocks, and even a few unknown pieces of rotten wood.
In the corner of the stall, there were stacks of rough talisman papers.
When the girl saw business coming to her door, and the person who came was a heroic young man, her eyes suddenly brightened.
"This senior brother, what do you like?"
"How can I sell this talisman paper?" Xue Tong asked.
"Six dollars for one hundred cards, five stacks for twenty-five."
"I feel like the quality of your talisman paper is not good. What should I call my junior sister? I, Xue Tong."
"Hey, my name is Xiao Yu'er."
"You mean my talisman paper is too expensive and not worth it." Xiao Yu'er frowned.
"I'm telling the truth. Other people's eight-yuan talismans are much better than yours." Xue Tong touched the talisman and said.
Xiao Yu'er's face turned red, and she said a little discouraged: "To be honest...it is true. After all, I have just learned weapon refining recently, and my skills in making talisman paper are still lacking."
She combed her hair and said, "You can give me whatever price you think is appropriate. It won't make any money anyway, so I'll take back the money and continue practicing. Besides, it's enough to draw the first and second layers of talismans, so it won't affect it."
Jubao Pavilion does not sell low-end talisman paper, and Xue Tong plans to expand the scope of drawing talismans, especially talismans for gold spells.
"Well, okay, by the way, will you accept the talisman?" Xue Tong asked.
"Take it, if the price is right." Xiao Yuer quickly replied.
"It's your luck today. I'll take care of your business. I'll buy the talisman paper to practice with. In addition, you can set a price for these Soaring Cloud Talisman." Xue Tong took out ten fourth-level Soaring Cloud Talisman.
He was telling the truth. If he hadn't been in a very unhappy mood with Zhu Qingling, he wouldn't have been able to wander around the inner city.
"This..." Xiao Yu'er glanced at Fu Lu, and her face, which had just returned to normal, turned redder than before.
"Why, you can't accept so much?"
Xiao Yuer couldn't answer the words and looked embarrassed.
"How many can I receive? You haven't been in business for a long time. You have little capital and you can't sell goods." Xue Tong found a step for her.
"Yes, yes, I'll give you five of the two hundred. If you can trust the rest, let me sell it on consignment." Xiao Yu'er's face turned faster than a monkey, and at the end she actually covered her mouth and laughed.
The usual price of a four-layer Soaring Cloud Talisman in the inner market is sixty to seventy. Xiao Yuer's price is acceptable, but her business experience of climbing up the ladder makes Xue Tong laugh.
"No, consignment? What should I do if you run away?"
"Can I run? Are you kidding? Am I, Xiao Yu'er, that kind of person? If you can't trust me, you can trust Uncle Wang of the weapon refining field. If you can't, go to him and ask him to settle the score with me!" Xiao Yu'er put on a confident expression. Said like this.
Xue Tong thought to himself, "When the time comes, if you spread your hands and refuse to admit it, it will still be nothing."
However, he felt that Xiao Yu'er didn't look like the kind of person who would default on his debts, so he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll just trust you once."
Xiao Yu'er breathed a sigh of relief and waved a few times with her hand as a fan, "On a hot day, I finally met a good person all day long. The things in my stall are not expensive. They are really a bunch of ignorant guys!"
"Hey" Xue Tong couldn't help laughing, "Who wants this pile of rags like yours? There's no guarantee that anyone will take it if you give it away for free."
"What do you know? Let me tell you, although the grade of these materials is low, it is most economical to take them back for practice. I will make the rest and sell them cheaply. If you miss this village, next time those guys who want to make weapons may not be able to find them. Got it!" Xiao Yu'er was extremely depressed and said angrily.
Xue Tong was not interested in refining weapons. He was not sure whether Xiao Yuer's words were true or not, so he said noncommittally: "Okay, I wish you a prosperous business."
"If it can't prosper, it's better if it doesn't go bankrupt." Xiao Yu'er said nonchalantly.
"Haha, you little girl talks nonsense."
"My girl? You're not much older, right? I'm too lazy to tell you. If you don't go back, Master Wang will curse again." Xiao Yu'er rolled her eyes at Xue Tong and put away the stall.
In the middle of cleaning up, she suddenly raised her head and said, "You are from the top of the mountain. The talisman is wrong. I am looking for you."
"My talisman is wrong? What are you doing? I'm from Hunchback Mountain and an outside disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall." Xue Tong glared.
"Okay, that's it. I'll set up a stall in groups. Remember to collect the money in time." Xiao Yu'er said.
