Xue Tong couldn't decide whether to take the initiative or practice.
In the past few years, he has completed the third and fourth turns of Fa Hai, and his refining speed has doubled. His magic power will surely grow beyond that of Tao Fa Miao Qing, and he will have a sure chance of winning when fighting alone.
However, Su Xin Sect is the largest sect within a hundred thousand miles, and all kinds of variables are extremely difficult to predict.
Xue Tong rode an eagle and unknowingly approached the abandoned temple.
The mountain temple has collapsed for a hundred years, and is overgrown with weeds. Most of the ruins have been weathered into soil. There is no one or a house within hundreds of miles, and it is extremely desolate.
Xue Tong saw monks cleaning up from a distance.
"oh"
Judging from the postures of those people when moving objects, it was only an acquired taste.
"Maybe the wandering cultivators want to find a place to stay, so let's give it to them."
The temple and underground palace are clean and refreshing, with no secrets at all, not to mention those people can't find the hidden entrance.
Xue Tong smiled slightly, lifted the leather rein around the vulture's neck, and flew around.
"It is God's will that someone has taken over his nest, so go to Yanzhou!"
…
Close to Yixin City.
Xue Tong remembered that the Spiritual Objects Fair was held every three years, only half a month away.
"Let's go shopping. It would be best if Huang Gongtai can come. If not, we can go to Yanzhou to cause trouble."
According to the agreement, Xue Tong sent the transmission talisman in the trading market on the first day of the Spiritual Object Meeting.
There was no reply for half a day.
Xue Tong, a congenital and master-level spiritual being, showed little interest and walked across two roads to prepare to leave the city.
But I heard two people talking under the eaves of a street shop.
“The elixir is too expensive and we can’t get it together!”
Xue Tong turned his head and looked at the short man who was speaking, and his eyes happened to meet.
The short man hurriedly bowed and whispered: "Senior!"
"You two are in trouble, maybe I can help solve it," Xue Tong said.
A glimmer of light flashed in the eyes of the two people and disappeared quickly, "I understand the Taoist priest's good intentions, but I still won't bother you. I'm sorry."
"Haha, I don't believe in my methods," Xue Tong said with a smile.
"I believe it, I believe it, it's just that this matter is really difficult to handle, and I don't want to get senior involved."
"What's the matter if we can't get the elixir together?"
Xue Tong frowned and said displeased.
"Senior, please calm down. I am Nie Yu, the deputy owner of Wuya Village in Hezhou. I owe Elder Su Xinchao a hundred elixirs. I planned to make up for it at the Spiritual Object Society, but the price is too high."
"Wuyazhuang's arrears for the elixir have already been extended once. It will be difficult to think about it again this time, so I didn't dare to trouble the senior." Nie Yu explained.
Xue Tong's heart pounded, "Su Xin Zong!"
Su Xin Sect was probably the only Xuanmen he did not dare to go straight into, and had to approach it from the side.
When he stayed in the hotel, he used the pseudonym Luo Sheng, and the ghost hidden technique lowered his cultivation level to the late stage of the master.
At the peak of Nie Yu's genius, the three brothers built a mountain sect in the northern part of Hezhou, and later planted elixirs for the elder Su Xin, Chao Fangming, for many years.
However, the survival rate of the recent batch of seed seedlings is poor and their growth is also slow.
"How much elixir is owed"
Xue Tong's face softened and he asked.
"Hundreds of fifth-grade elixirs. This batch of medicine... is difficult to grow and the harvest is insufficient." Nie Yu said.
"This matter is easy to handle, just a few words." Xue Tong said stably.
"Oh, senior knows Elder Chao, please tell us that there is something wrong with this batch of medicines," Nie Yu's junior brother Tian Kun said bluntly.
Nie Yu glared at Tian Kun.
"Haha, I don't know Chao Fangming, but I can help you think of a way to go back to Wuyazhuang first." Xue Tong said.
"Then thank you, senior. No matter whether it succeeds or not, we will all be grateful." Nie Yu said.
…
Xue Tong stayed in Wuyazhuang for a few days and learned that Chao Fangming did not live in Wangtian Peak. He only opened spiritual fields in the valley more than a hundred miles away from the main mountain, planted elixirs, and presided over Tilingzhuang, one of the three major medicine villages of Suxin Sect. .
Xue Tong changed his mind because of this. He originally wanted to lure Chao Fangming out, but after hearing that Yaozhuang was more than a hundred miles away from Wangtian Peak, he decided to take the risk to meet this person.
"Senior Luo, the deadline is at the end of the month, how about we set off in three days?" Nie Yu asked.
"Well, when you get to Tiling Village, just say that with the guarantee of Grandmaster Suzhou, Wuya Village's elixir will be delivered for another two years," Xue Tong said.
Everyone in Wuya looked embarrassed.
"Chao Fangming is not easy to talk to. He is quite influential in Su Xin Sect. It is hard to say whether he will give him face or not." said the owner of Wuya Village.
"Luo will negotiate a bigger deal with him!" Xue Tong took a few genuine sixth-grade elixirs.
"Demon Calf Grass, Dark Star Sunflower, Frost Dust Purple Bamboo, and Collinous Zhu Wulei!" Nie Yu said in shock.
"Well, a few elixir plants are about to sprout. If they are transplanted well, chickens and eggs will lay eggs. In the hands of a powerful herbalist like Elder Chao, it will not be difficult to get them three to five times. It will be far better than the spiritual medicine Wu Yazhuang owes. The medicine is valuable." Xue Tong said with a smile.
"That's it, Wuyazhuang will step up preparations and set off on time!"
Three carriages from Wuyazhuang drove all the way to the core of Suxin Sect, eight hundred miles away from Wangtian Peak.
Nie Yu and Wuyazhuang's levels were too low, and they barely passed the inspections along the way. It was hard to see Su Xinzong's good looks.
A small group of patrolling monks stopped the leading vehicle.
"Where did he come from?" the patrol team leader and master warrior asked.
"Hello, senior, we are from Wuya Village in Hezhou. We plant medicine for your sect, Elder Chao. This is a documentary token." Nie Yu said respectfully.
"Who is sitting in the middle car?"
The carriage and carriage absorbed most of the spiritual pressure, and the team leader asked uncertainly.
"Suzhou pharmacist Luo Sheng, come with us to see Elder Chao." Nie Yu said.
Xue Tong pushed open the carriage and raised his hand to say hello.
Along the way, he has done the same thing no less than ten times.
"Get off the bus!" shouted the team leader.
This is my first time getting out of the car and being inspected.
Nie Yu was a little worried. He could see that Xue Tong was not an ordinary person, and he might not be willing to accept the interrogation of low-level monks.
Xue Tong got out of the car with a smile, not showing any displeasure.
The squad leader asked questions one after another, and Xue Tong answered them one by one.
"Okay, no wandering around, go straight to Tiling Medicine Store!"
The Grandmaster Captain stamped the document and released it.
"The inspections are much stricter than six years ago. I heard that something happened to Su Xin Sect." Tian Kun sighed.
"What's going on? Could it be..." Xue Tong said slowly.
"Well, something happened in the secret realm. A man named Xue Tong..."
"Junior brother~!" Nie Yu lowered his face and reminded Tian Kun that he talked too much.
"Okay, okay, but these things have become popular and everyone has known about it for a long time!"
Tian Kun was not convinced and muttered a complaint.
…
Tiling Valley, a huge orange rock at the mouth of the valley.
The monks from Yaozhuang recognized Nie Yu, asked about Xue Tong's origins, and introduced him to Yaozhuang.
A middle-aged steward from the drug store received him.
"The elixir has been collected. Elder Chao will not see anyone else. After the handover, please leave quickly."
Nie Yu's face turned red, "Master Steward, something went wrong in Wuyazhuang this time, and the elixir is still short of 200 plants!"
"If you dare to come and hand over anything if you don't have everything in place, Tiling Manor has given you a grace period. If you hand it over today, you will be fined five times as much as agreed upon and pay 30 million spiritual stones!"
"Yaogu will send someone to Wuyazhuang in half a month, please do as you please!"
In the early days of the Grand Master's tenure, he was fierce in both voice and appearance, and did not care about Xue Tong's face here.
"There's something wrong with the right strain given by the drug store!" Tian Kun couldn't bear it any longer and protested.
"How many people want the business of a drug store? You are the one who picked you to make a fortune. But if something goes wrong, you dare to falsely accuse us!"
"You ignorant bitch!"
The steward raised his hand and slapped him hard.
But it seemed as if he had hit a pile of soft things and disappeared without a trace.
"Steward, calm down. Elder Chao will definitely be interested in Luo's elixir." Xue Tong smiled lightly and let go of Steward's arm.
The steward realized that this unknown Suzhou pharmacist had profound cultivation and was not inferior to Elder Chao at the same level.
He glanced at the elixir that Xue Tong put on the stage and left in a hurry.
…
Chao Fangming appeared, without even looking at Nie Yu and Tian Kun, he looked at Xue Tong and said, "Taoist Luo wants to keep Wuya Village and make a deal with me."
"Exactly!"
"The four elixirs belong to Taoist friends, and the incident at Wuya Village is over. A year later, Luo retrieved the elixirs, and the sprouts cultivated all belong to the medicine village." Xue Tong said.
"Oh" Chao Fangming raised his eyebrows, picked up the elixir and looked at it carefully for a while.
"make a deal!"
After the handover between the two parties was completed, Chao Fangming and Xue Tong started chatting.
Xue Tong signaled Nie Tian to step back and wait in the courtyard.
"Luo is helping Wuyazhuang. Firstly, he wants to get to know Elder Chao. Secondly, he wants Wuyazhuang to plant some elixirs for me."
"Luo still has a few elixirs, and there is still the possibility of bursting the buds and transplanting them."
Promoting sprouting and transplanting to survive are the two unique skills of elixir cultivation.
Xue Tong showed six more elixirs.
Over the past hundred years, he had killed dozens of masters in the three realms of humans and demons. He had collected a considerable amount of sixth-grade plants, and there was no need to refine elixirs. The variety was not inferior to that of Ti Ling Yao Mansion.
Chao Fangming's eyes lit up.
Among the elixirs, "Jintian Gourd Fruit" and "Cycad Cycad" are treasures that even Tiling Village has never had before!
"Although the two elixir plants have passed the best period for sprouting and transplanting, Chao can try his best!" Chao Fangming said.
"Only experts like Elder Chao may have hope of successful transplantation."
"If I screw up, the drug store will compensate me with a million yuan, return my medicinal plant, and add a box of sixth-grade elixir." Xue Tong suggested.
“It’s a deal!”
…
In this way, Xue Tong established a relationship with Chao Fangming and received a Yaozhuang visitor badge.
Xue Tong returned to Wuyazhuang and gave Nie Yu some fifth-grade elixir, asking him to try to induce new sprouts to transplant while he concentrated on practicing the exercises.
After meeting Chao Fangming again three months later, after chatting for a while, Xue Tong finally found an opportunity and asked: "The demand for elixirs from your sect has increased sharply compared to the past. Is it because the secret realm has offended other sects? Do we need to step up preparations for war?"
"Those people are not that stupid yet. Our sect's senior Guangcheng has returned. Who dares to come and die!" Chao Fangming said.
Guang Cheng's return half a year ago was no longer a major secret, Chao Fangming almost blurted it out.
"Well, then it's time for Su Xin Sect to go find trouble with Xue Tong and Huang Gongtai."
"Alas, this matter is very complicated and needs to be handled with great caution."
"What happened in the secret realm?" Xue Tong asked again.
Chao Fangming was slightly startled: "I don't know, everyone who came back is very secretive and tight-lipped."
"Well, where is Taoist Aunt Miaoqing? She is a person of great honor to both parties."
"Taoist nuns are rare to see. Legend has it that they have appeared in several lake areas."
Xue Tong did not dare to ask again and asked Chao Fangming to meet him at Wuyazhuang three months later.
"Well, in March, the cultivation of new shoots should be almost complete. I hope that when Chao goes to Wuya Village, he can bring the joy of success to fellow Taoists." Chao Fangming said.
…
After Xue Tong left.
Chao Fangming frowned and walked around the room for a long time.
Finally, the manager of Yaogu was called.
"Please see the sect leader and get it done as soon as possible!" Chao Fangming said.
