"Let him come in!" With a clear female voice, the thick fog at the entrance of the cave dissipated. It was obvious that the owner of the cave had lifted the defense restrictions outside the cave.
"Fellow Taoist, please go in! Uncle Master is waiting in the cave." The dignified woman stopped and said, motioning for Liu Yu to go in alone.
"Thank you, senior sister!" Liu Yu thanked her and entered the cave with some apprehension.
The entrance to the cave is not long. After a few steps, you will arrive at the lobby of the cave. It is bright and spacious. There are tables, chairs, wall cabinets and other kinds of sandalwood furniture. A faint scent of sandalwood fills the cave. The floor is covered with a thick velvet carpet, which is spotless. , stepping on it, it is exceptionally soft and comfortable.
In the middle of the lobby is a long square iron bamboo tea table with a set of exquisite red jade tea sets. Behind the tea table is a huge glazed lotus screen. The lotus leaves on the screen are green and the lotus flowers are delicate and lifelike. You can vaguely see the screen through the paper. Afterwards, there was a beautiful figure sitting on a low platform.
"Sit!" When Liu Yu stopped and didn't know what to say, a clear voice sounded like water and song from behind the screen.
"Thank you, senior!" Liu Yu came to the tea table and sat down, placing the carved wooden food box in his hand on the side of the table.
With the soft rustling sound, the beauty behind the screen stood up and sank down, slowly walked out from behind the screen, came to sit across from the tea table, during which Liu Yu sat upright, not daring to take a breath, and there was silence in the cave.
"Time flies, and we say goodbye to "Wuma Lake", and many years have passed in the blink of an eye!" Changsun Rong waved a magic power, poured it into the tea stove, heated the tea set, and sat down slowly with emotion.
"Twenty-seven years and three months!" Liu Yu took over the words unconsciously and regretted a little after saying it. She wondered if Changsun Rong would be angry.
"When I saw you today, I found out that you were promoted to Foundation Establishment and had the talent of three spiritual roots to open up the "Purple Mansion", which is rare!" Changsun Rong was stunned and couldn't help but blush on her face. After a few breaths of silence, she spoke.
"It's just a fluke!" Liu Yu quickly replied.
"I haven't congratulated my senior for overcoming the calamity and becoming an elixir. These are some pastries prepared by my junior. Please don't dislike it!" Liu Yu said as he pushed out the food box on the side.
"Leave it alone!" Changsun Rong replied calmly.
"Return, return, and this golden phoenix jade hairpin. I wonder if senior likes it." Liu Yu took out an extremely beautiful jade hairpin from his arms. This hosta was carefully selected by Liu Yu himself.
"Thank you!" Changsun Rong bit the corner of her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then accepted it.
"By the way, I brought one to Senior Sister Xuan, please give it to her, senior!" Liu Yu felt relieved when she saw the other party accept it. Suddenly she remembered and took out a smaller food box from the storage bag. said.
When Liu Yu first arrived at Tianxue Mountain, he asked some disciples on duty at the Lingbing Palace in "Meixiang Yuan" about Senior Sister Xuan. He wanted to send a small gift to Changsun Rong through Senior Sister Xuan, but there was no news about Senior Sister Xuan, and it was not easy to go around rashly. Ask around, I don’t know what to do these days!
"Take it back! Xuan'er is deceased!" Changsun Rong's face suddenly changed and she said in a cold voice.
"What! Senior Sister Xuan, she..." Liu Yu couldn't help but lost her voice.
"I have called you here today to give you something on behalf of Xuan'er." Changsun Rong took out an exquisite "Hundred Lotus Sachet", pushed it to Liu Yu's desk, and continued coldly: "This is what Xuan'er was doing during her lifetime." I made it for you with my own hands. She always wanted to give it to you, but never took it out. I know this is her last wish, so I will give it to you on her behalf."
"Sister Xuan, how could she...!" Liu Yu took the "sachet" and looked at the word "jade" embroidered on the sachet, feeling guilty and sad!
"Xuan'er, she went into seclusion to build her foundation. She was obsessed with achieving success, fell into a demonic obstacle, and put herself to death!" Changsun Rong sighed and whispered helplessly.
Changsun Xuan's cultivation qualifications are too poor, her four lines of spiritual roots are mixed, and her meridians are impure. The bottleneck of the "Elixir Heart Point" is stubborn, and the difficulty of foundation building is too harsh. Although Changsun Rong found a lot of rare elixirs for her to assist, it is still difficult. Open up the "Purple Mansion".
If the foundation was built normally and the success or failure was underestimated, it would not lead to death. However, this woman has a strong personality and has distracting thoughts. She did not care about life and death and forcibly attacked the "Danxin Point". The force of the counterattack shattered her heart and died. Death.
"I'm ashamed, junior!" Liu Yu said sadly.
"It doesn't have to be like this. Xuan'er didn't want an apology before she died. You can go back!" Changsun Rong coldly issued the eviction order.
"Goodbye, junior!" Liu Yu put the "scent sachet" away, stood up slowly and sadly, and walked out of the cave.
"..." Changsun Rong wanted to stop him and ask him to take the hosta and the food box back on the table, but looking at the lost figure, she couldn't bear to say it for some reason. Looking at the boiling teapot, she remembered that she I didn’t even give him any tea to drink!
"Fellow Taoist, are you okay?" The dignified woman waiting outside the cave couldn't help but asked with a look of sadness on her face when she saw Liu Yu leaving the cave so quickly.
"It's okay, please ask Senior Sister to lead the way!" Liu Yu said, shaking her head empty-heartedly.
The top of Bingjiu Peak is the important place of "Lingbing Palace". If there is no one to lead the way, Liu Yu will not be able to get down the mountain alone. If he accidentally touches the restriction of the magic circle, he will lose his skin even if he doesn't die.
At the same time, in a quiet pavilion at the top of Ice Demon Peak, "Master Hanluan" and "Master Nuhai" were sitting opposite each other. There was a tea set on the white jade table in the pavilion, and the teacup in front of them had risen. Cha Yan, obviously had been chatting for a while.
"Have you prepared the cold iron, spirit-patterned steel, floating concentrate and other spiritual materials that your sect needs to build two "battleships"?" After greeting the guests, "Master Nu Hai" asked about business matters. .
"I have already asked my disciples to load it on the ship and prepare it. When the Taoist friend returns to the sect in a few days, he will transport it with him." Master Hanluan said.
It turns out that the invitation sent by Lingbing Palace to the "Winter Water Alliance", in addition to inviting the "Winter Water Alliance" to attend the Changsun Rong Golden Elixir Ceremony, also ordered two "psionic battleships" from the "Winter Water Alliance".
"Fellow Daoist is still thoughtful!" Master Nu Hai nodded. Yunzhou is far away from Beidi. With him protecting him, everything will be worry-free.
"Can you give me a better price this time?" Master Hanluan said as he added a cup of hot tea to the other party.
"The noble sect himself provides all the spiritual materials needed for the refining of the "battleship". The sect is responsible for shaping and refining, and only charges some refining fees. As usual, 20,000 high-grade spiritual stones are really not expensive!" Master Nuhai pretended. He said with a look of embarrassment.
"We're not ordering two ships at once this time! I hope my Taoist friends can help us speak in the sect." The war had just ended, and the sect's reserves of high-level spiritual stones were running low. Master Hanluan had no choice but to say with a smile.
"This price is not something that the poor Taoist can decide. After all, the Wuznie family is only one of the three lines of our sect. But if Taoist nephew Luo Chen becomes a Taoist couple with my son, and your sect and my clan are from the same family, then I will My brother will definitely speak out and it won’t be difficult to reduce the price by 20 to 30%!” Master Nu Hai hinted in a low voice.
"This Taoist couple should be in love with each other, and the fate will naturally fall into place. It is difficult for a poor Taoist to talk about these things about the younger generation, what do you think, fellow Taoist!" Master Hanluan said politely.
"What fellow Taoist said is absolutely true. I am a poor Taoist who is impatient. We will discuss this matter later. But my son is truly affectionate. I hope fellow Taoist and Taoist nephew Luo Chen understand!"
Master Nu Hai nodded, changed the subject, and said in a nonchalant way: "Besides, there is another method that can definitely reduce the cost. I wonder if you are willing to listen to it?"
"Fellow Taoist, please elaborate!" Master Hanluan asked with a slight frown.
"Pindao has also heard about the North-South War in Yunzhou. It is said that it was very tragic. The Huangsheng Sect and Wanyao Valley, the allies of the noble sect, also destroyed several "battleships". I think they also have the idea of building new "battleships". How about If the three sects are packaged together for this sect, the cost will naturally be reduced." Master Nu Hai said seriously.
In addition to coming to propose marriage, Master Nu Hai also had another important purpose during his trip, which was to bring the three sects' new "Psychic Battleship" jobs to the "Winter Water Alliance".
You must know that the Zine family is in the "Winter Water Alliance", but they are in charge of the shipbuilding business. The family's residence, "Moby Dick Port", is the largest port in the North and is well-known in the Dongyuan cultivation world.
"To be honest, Huang Shengzong and Ten Thousand Medicine Valley do have the idea of building a new "Psychic Battleship", and most of the required spiritual materials have been prepared.
However, "Huang Sheng Sect" and "Wanyao Valley" have always only turned to "Tianhai Sect" for shipbuilding, which I believe fellow Taoists should know. "Master Han Luan couldn't help but frown.
"The two sects have been looking for Tianhaizong before. Pindao knows it himself, but who can't get along with the spirit stone! If the two sects give the task of building a new "spiritual battleship" to this sect, then the two ships including Guizong, Our sect only charges 16,000 high-grade spiritual stones for the construction cost of each "psychic battleship."" Master Nu Hai said confidently that at this price, he did not believe that the three sects would not be tempted.
"Winter Water Alliance" and "Tianhai Sect" are the two major shipbuilding giants in Dongyuan Cultivation World, and they can be said to be sworn rivals in the industry. This time "Master Nu Hai" is here to grab business, and there will be a war in Yunzhou after a thousand years. The three sects will build " The number of "psionic battleships" will definitely not be small.
"Pindao will discuss with the two sects tomorrow and give news to fellow Taoists the day after tomorrow!" Master Hanluan said after deliberation for a long time.
"I'm just waiting for the good news!" Master Nu Hai raised his tea cup and said.
