The person who came was a beautiful woman in her mid-twenties, with an oval face and a pair of water-cut pupils. She was wearing a lotus-white brocade skirt and a slender waist tied with ancient blue jade.
His figure is graceful and graceful, and his temperament is gentle.
And there is a hint of shrewdness and agility in his eyes, but he is not as deceitful as he seems on the outside.
Behind this woman, there were several pretty maids in colorful clothes, holding fans and baskets in their hands, which was quite a scene.
As for Peng Qing, who had just gone out, he followed closely behind without daring to raise his head.
He was afraid of offending the person in front of him, so he just stared at his toes, his expression was extremely respectful, and there was a hint of sweat on his forehead...
"Don't take it seriously if you give me advice. Your distinguished guest is really ruining your family."
The woman covered her lips and smiled softly when she heard the words. In a short moment, her eyes scanned Chen Heng up and down.
After that, Kuan Kuan came to the table, and without giving any orders, the waitresses behind him immediately understood and brought out fruits and tea, serving them one by one.
"I wonder if your honorable guest knows the origin of this New Year's comment?"
Amid the scent of tea, the woman gently waved her sleeves, made a gesture of invitation, and asked with a charming smile.
"Have heard a little bit."
Chen Heng didn't refuse when he saw this. He stretched out his sleeves and sat across the table from the woman. After pondering for a moment, he said:
"I heard that it was initiated by a few elders of the Twelve Generations. Although it was stated that they did not want people from all over the world to hide their names.
A handsome, talented, and romantic figure, his reputation will be crowned throughout the world, spread to future generations, and be known to everyone in the world...
But inside, he just wanted to use his reputation as bait, hoping to earn disciples from the eight sects and six sects who would fight for life and death for a false reputation.
If one is weak and I am strong, the family will naturally benefit in the end.
But in the end, looking at the results, it turns out that although this plan is a conspiracy, it is indeed very shallow and underestimates the people of the world..."
…
The eight sects and six sects have survived since the ancient Taoist era.
The demons and monsters I have seen have their own evil plans, and they are as endless as a carp crossing the river.
The hidden agenda behind this Sui Danping comment could not be deceived by their eyes and ears.
The list has only been open for three periods, and the candidates for the list are evaluated behind the scenes.
It was also composed of several elders from the twelfth generation clan.
They were replaced by the nosy and powerful Shangzhen from the eight sects and six sects...
After getting the approval of Beijiyuan, those who loved the excitement of Shangzhen built a tower and pavilion that goes straight into the sky in the surrounding mountains and ravines of Beihaozhou, named "Wuyouguan", as the location of the Taoist temple.
Every New Year's Day.
That is the first day of the first year of life.
Those who have no insight will order the boy to post the golden list outside the mountain gate.
Xu ordered all the spiritual sects in the world to copy the names on the list so that everyone would know.
Because this gold list will only be released on the New Year's Eve, it follows the old practice of the family and is also called the New Year's Eve Review.
The New Year's Eve Review is divided into four lists from Zifu to Yuanshen realm.
Each list has thirty-six positions.
Since Fetal Breathing, Qi Lianqi and Foundation Establishment are the beginning of the immortal path, it is difficult to see any clues.
People in these three realms naturally ignore them.
As for those above the Yuan Shen, there are the Immortal True Lord characters who have returned to the void and pure Yang realms.
It is also a taboo for the Venerable, so it is really inconvenient to make a big show of them and distinguish them clearly.
So I simply hid it and didn’t make many lists...
Since the "Wuyouguan" was completed in Beihaozhou.
In this scene, the Shangzhen of the eight sects and six sects checked each other, and occasionally Taoist masters such as Taiwen Miaocheng and Xuanming Wuxian personally executed them.
This is the "New Year's Day Commentary".
It has truly become an elegant thing to praise one's conduct and encourage those who are underachieving.
No matter who is on the list, he will be famous all over the country and heard all over the world.
Since then, it has been in the limelight like no other!
And at this time.
After hearing Chen Heng's voice.
The woman smiled slightly, but she also elaborated on the change of Sui Dan Ping advocated by the worldly clan by the eight sects and six sects, and then said:
"Since this year's review is already different from the past, Chen Heng's sudden rise to such a high position will naturally arouse many people's suspicion...
What's more, his words of criticism are quite surprising, which makes people even more curious and want to see his true appearance. "
Chen Heng's eyes widened slightly, his eyes hidden under his long eyelashes.
He glanced at the spread out list of the New Year's Pingzi Mansion and frowned.
…
First name: Chen Heng.
Cultivation level: Second level of Zifu.
Xuan Gong: "Shu Hua Daojun Shenwu Speaks of the Taishi Yuan Zhenjing"...
Result of the battle: Zhu Ji defeated Sima Quantong, Wang Dian and others, and defeated all the cultivators. He became famous in the four courtyards of Yuchen, and was praised by Huo Mi of the Shifang Palace, who called him "Victory by fighting".
The purple fire flows into the cave sky, using the small to unite the crowd, using the weak to attack the strong, the battle is not without benefit, and the sharp edge is hard to withstand.
Ranking: Zifu eleven.
Comments: The inchworm bends to seek trust, the dragon and snake stings to protect the body, and the doubts are confirmed by knocking them, and then they move after observation. The movement is powerful, like thunder, like thunder, like shock and anger. It can be said that the virtue of being strong and formidable can be said to be the best of gold.
(Note: The wind god is Xiaosan, with a calm appearance and a distinguished bearing. He is naturally a first-class Yaolin god, and he is actually an outlier, no less than his father)
…
"On the eleventh day of the Purple Mansion...the so-called public opinions are probably due to this."
Chen Heng said.
This year's review left a lot of blanks in his Zifu victory.
As for how he used the small to unite the crowd, the weak to attack the strong, and which masters he defeated.
I didn’t elaborate on it.
And look around.
Xudu is in the land of Jiuzhou and all over the world, and there are more than a million high-level talents in the Zifu realm? But only thirty-six people can make the list!
Chen Heng’s sudden rise.
It aroused people's surprise and curiosity, but it was normal.
However, the person behind the New Year's Eve Review who ranked the rankings probably didn't expect it either.
Not long after Chen Heng emerged from the Honghua Cave of Flowing Fire, he had already cultivated the fourth level of swordsmanship and demonstrated the ability to use the body and sword as one.
Otherwise, this ranking should be able to be pushed forward one or two...
"The ranking of Zi Mansion is only one of them. Why does it arouse public discussion? These words of criticism have actually added fuel to the flames and contributed a lot of strength."
The woman smiled and said:
"The immortals of Yaolin live outside of things... The usual comments at the end of the year rarely contain such words of praise, and they are still based on appearance.
After seeing these words, not only many female cultivators in Donghai became curious, but also wanted to see Chen Heng's true face, so they even visited the slave family. I also have some interest in him. "
"Sui Dan Ya Ping... regardless of Taoism and magic power, how can it be involved in skin and appearance?"
Chen Heng was silent for a moment and said.
"This fact is rare. In the infinite years since the completion of 'Wu You Guan', a man's first appearance on the New Year's Eve was specially mentioned for his appearance, which is only six or seven... Yuchen's The late Taoist disciple Jun Yao and the True Lord Yushu of the Xiantian Demon Sect are both here."
The woman said:
"Now, Chen Heng has been added to the list, which is also strange."
Chen Heng's eyes narrowed and he didn't say much.
But at this time, the woman took the initiative to speak and said tentatively:
"Xue Wan'er, the slave family, is one of the four stewards of Cangxiao Tower. Zunke seems to be a bit nervous. I wonder where he comes from? Maybe the master of Zunke, like me, is the proprietor behind him? Maybe there is some degree of friendship.”
Chen Heng only smiled slightly when he heard this.
After that, Xue Waner brought up a few more topics, but Chen Heng only responded briefly and often stopped at tense moments.
Seeing that he was very tight-lipped, and she was afraid that it would be difficult to extract Chen Heng's words, Xue Wan'er felt a little helpless, but she didn't bother too much. She just clapped her hands gently, and the waitress behind her respectfully handed over two exquisite sleeve bags.
"I have personally delivered what your distinguished guest requested. You might as well check it out to see if there are any mistakes."
she said.
Chen Heng didn't show any pretense when he heard this. He nodded slightly and opened his sleeve pocket.
The first sleeve bag contains thirty Huangchi pills, which are the size of pigeon eggs and are bright and clear.
If you look carefully, you can still see a few yellow clouds the size of fingernails hovering above it, which looks very beautiful.
When Chen Heng was in Jingu Cave in Diyuan, he also learned the Huangbai method of Waidan from Cui Jing, and he taught him everything he could.
Because the future was uncertain at that time.
He also vaguely had the idea of using alchemy as the foundation for establishing himself, and wanted to use alchemy to earn the qualifications for practice...
But after a strange combination of circumstances led to him being able to practice in Yuchen lower courtyard, this thought gradually faded away.
However, although he did not spend any more hard work on the alchemy method later on, he still had good eyesight after all.
After careful investigation, he realized that these thirty Huangchi Pills were not shoddily made and of low quality, but could already be called top quality, so he put them away and picked up the second sleeve bag.
But this time.
After counting the number of talisman money inside.
Chen Heng suddenly smiled, shook his head and said:
"wrong."
"Wrong?" Xue Waner's expression remained unchanged.
"too much."
Chen Heng looked at her:
"After deducting thirty Huangchi Pills, it shouldn't be this amount. Even though Cangxiao Tower is the property of the Dragon Clan and the family is big and the business is great, I'm afraid it won't be able to withstand such extensive favors?"
"As the distinguished guest said, this is not a favor, it is just a courtesy."
Xue Wan'er's beautiful eyes drifted towards Chen Heng, she smoothed her hair and said:
"Your honorable guest acted righteously on the sea boat earlier. Not only did he save the lives of the people on the boat, but he also protected the face of Yuquan Fairy City. As for these Huangchi Pills, they are just what they should be. Please don't refuse."
"I see, this matter spread quickly."
Chen Heng smiled when he heard this and bowed his hands in thanks. He did not refuse and accepted it generously.
Seeing that Chen Heng was not dragging his feet, he pretended to be noble and polite.
Xue Wan'er was also happy that he acted quickly and felt slightly relieved.
The gift of Huang Chi Dan was not out of her thoughts.
Even though she is one of the four chief stewards of Cangxiao Tower, she does not have such great authority. This is the instruction of the three leaders of Yuquan Fairy City. They ordered her to complete this matter and must do it properly.
After seeing Chen Heng put away the two sleeve pockets, Xue Waner spoke again:
"Before coming here, the slave family has received a summons from three immortal market leaders. If the distinguished guest has a request, the slave family must try their best to agree..."
Speaking of which.
Xue Wan'er paused for a moment, glanced at Chen Heng half-smilingly, and then continued:
"I don't know what else my distinguished guest wants, so I might as well tell you all."
Ever since she entered the quiet room, she has always had a gentle and gentle demeanor.
This glance showed a bit of charming charm, which was so captivating that it made people unable to control themselves.
Not far away, Peng Qingxian lacked concentration, his face was red and his heart was hot, he was staring at his toes, and he didn't dare to raise his head.
"What a powerful charm... If during a fight, the opponent is in a daze because of this, the situation may be in danger."
Chen Heng turned a blind eye to this, and only praised it in his heart, then smiled lightly and asked:
"Everything is possible?"
"It also depends on what the distinguished guest wants... If you want this Cangxiao Tower, even if I have the intention, I'm afraid it will be difficult to give this tower to you."
Xue Waner rolled her eyes at Chen Heng.
"I wonder if there are two types of foreign medicines in your building, 'Ziming Liuzhu' and 'Yunliang Gypsum'?"
Chen Heng pondered for a moment and then added:
"It would be even better if there is still the essence of the five innate elements."
However, Peng Qing kept his head bowed respectfully without squinting. When he heard this, he couldn't help but widen his pupils and glanced at Chen Heng in surprise.
And the maids all had different expressions.
Although Xue Wan'er was a little moved, it was not surprising when she thought of Chen Heng's Sword Escape. After thinking about it for a moment, she apologized:
"Because the Purple Ming Liuzhu has the effect of prolonging life, there is always no stock in the building. If you want to buy this treasure, you will have to wait for the opening of the treasure fair in the building.
Although the Yunliang gypsum is inferior, because the people of Rouxuan Mansion have been searching for it recently, hoping to use it to repair one of their important treasures, I'm afraid they won't be able to find much of it in the entire East China Sea.
As for the essence of the five innate elements..."
Xue Waner shook her head, it was self-evident.
Ziming Liuzhu and Yunliang gypsum are extremely valuable.
But compared with the innate essence of the five elements, it is more than inferior.
It seems that such rare treasures from heaven and earth, even though the Longgong family has a great business, are rarely sold. They are only kept deep in the inner treasury, either reserved for their own use, or given away as a big favor.
"On the essence of the five innate elements. What if I can barter?"
At this time.
Chen Heng suddenly spoke.
Xue Waner was really surprised when she heard this.
She looked at Chen Heng seriously, and after a long while, she said slowly:
"Does your honorable guest really mean this? It happens that an old leader in our fairy market is trying his best to find this treasure for his heir. However, with the innate essence of water and wood elements, there is no need..."
"I am lacking in the water element. Among the five elements, only the earth element is still abundant."
Chen Heng smiled.
Seeing that his face was full of calmness and composure, he didn't seem to be faking it.
Even if it is revealed that he possesses such a valuable treasure as the innate essence of the Five Elements, he still remains calm, showing that he has his own trump card to deal with it.
Such pretentiousness.
Xue Wan'er's guess was even stronger, and she determined that Chen Heng must have an extraordinary background.
However, the innate spirit of the Five Elements is very important, and it is not hers. She still needs to discuss it with the old leader of the Fairy Market to see what he wants.
After apologizing, Xue Waner hurriedly left the house and went to find the Immortal City Manager.
Chen Heng raised the teacup, touched his lips briefly, then picked up the Sui Dan Commentary and continued to read.
And half an hour later.
Xue Wan'er just returned to the quiet room, and there was a jade plate in her hand, holding a brocade box the size of a palm.
Seeing the brocade box being handed over, Chen Heng opened it and took a look.
In an instant, there was a wash of blue light, like mercury splashing on the ground, illuminating the whole room, making even the body feel a little lighter and ethereal.
"Xuanquezhi of the Water Element?"
Chen Heng's eyes flashed.
When he raised his eyes, he saw Xue Waner looking at him. He also took out a jade box from his sleeve and handed it over.
"Yellow gentian?"
After seeing what was in the box, Xue Waner was also overjoyed and her eyes brightened.
