Shang Xia walked all the way back to the merchant from the academy, and prominent figures from the Shang Jian, Shang Xi, Shang Yang, Shang Quan, Shang Tai families who had already received the news came out to welcome him.
Shang Xia quickly apologized and said, "How dare you trouble your uncles to welcome me in person? I am ashamed of myself!"
Then Shang Xia looked at Uncle Ninth Shang Yang and said, "Uncle Ninth has made a further step in cultivation. Congratulations!"
Shang Yang smiled awkwardly and said: "Sixth nephew, please don't make fun of me. Your ninth uncle and I know my own affairs. I'm afraid I won't succeed in martial arts. I just hope that you can give some advice to your two incompetent disciples in the future." Brother, Uncle Jiu, I can’t thank you enough!”
Shang Xia smiled and said: "We are all members of our own family, so why do we need to thank you?"
Shang Xi joked: "Your Ninth Uncle is not very old, but he speaks in such an old-fashioned way. Xiaoxia, he is afraid that you will hold a grudge!"
"Where is the word, where is the word!"
Shang Yang waved his hands quickly, pretending to be scared, and everyone laughed again.
Everyone was chatting and joking all the way from the gate of Shang Mansion to the backyard, followed by a large number of descendants of the family and members of the branch clan.
Especially the several cousins who were of the same generation as Shang Xia, looking at Shang Xia talking and laughing with their parents in front of them, each had mixed feelings in their hearts.
After the group of people exchanged greetings and agreed to have a more lively banquet in the evening, they dispersed, while Shang Quan and Shang Tai stayed with an excuse.
"Mr. Ren Huanren, the master craftsman of the Talisman Hall, and Mr. Ren Bairen came to visit. Now they are both waiting in the side hall."
Shang Quan said to Shang Xia.
"oh?"
Shang Xia quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Please come quickly, please come quickly!"
When Ren Huan and Ren Baibai were invited to the main hall, they saw Shang Xia coming out to greet them from a distance.
The group sat down to serve tea, and Ren Huan smiled directly and said: "On the first day you came back, I got the news and planned to visit you, but I never thought that you would actually hold a Dharma conference in the Talisman Hall that day to preach the method of making talismans. , and this lecture lasted for five days, it was such a big occasion. But you don’t know that just because I have some friendship with you, I don’t know how many people found my way in those few days and wanted me to take them into the Talisman Hall to listen to the lecture. "
Having said this, Ren Huan looked at Shang Quan and Shang Tai who were accompanying him, and asked with a smile: "You two have been harassed more than me, right?"
Shang Quan and Shang Tai laughed together when they heard this, but they looked cheerful.
In those days, Shang Xia, as the great talisman master, preached the method of making talismans in the academy's talisman hall, which indeed made the entire Shang family Shang Xia proud.
Shang Xia didn't want to talk more about this matter. After everyone laughed, he looked at Ren Huan and said, "Brother Ren has also advanced to the fourth heaven!"
Ren Huan smiled "hehe" and said: "It's all thanks to you. In the past two years, the strange beasts in the two realms have moved frequently. The academy has organized and hunted them for a purpose. I went out of my way because I know how to make fourth-level martial talismans." I was recommended by Fu Tang to participate in the operation, and finally had a chance to receive the reward from the Spiritual Demon of Heaven and Earth, and I was lucky enough to successfully advance to the fourth level of heaven."
Shang Xia smiled and said: "This is also because Brother Ren has reached the level of cultivation and has been prepared for it."
Because of the incident in Manyuzhou Continent, Tongyou Academy almost made a desperate move and dispatched most of the fourth-level warriors to go outside the territory, leaving the academy's defense in Youzhou and the two realms empty.
In order to make up for the lack of high-level combat power, the academy has increased its efforts in cultivating fourth-level warriors in the past two or three years.
The organized hunting of the fourth-level alien beasts in the two realms is to seize the spiritual evil of heaven and earth from these alien beasts.
Ren Huan took advantage of this opportunity to obtain the qualification to advance to the fourth level of heaven in one fell swoop, and finally succeeded in advancing.
Ren Huan laughed "haha" and said: "In addition to congratulating you on your return from outside the territory, I also came here to ask you for help with something."
Having said that, Ren Huan took out a spirit-sealing box directly from his cuff and said: "These are three pieces of fourth-level talisman paper that I have accumulated from making talismans on weekdays. They are all made of exotic animal skins. According to the rules of the great talisman master, I presented them to You ask for a fourth-level talisman."
Shang Xia was startled and said hesitantly: "Brother Ren, it doesn't have to be like this..."
Ren Huan is now a fourth-level heavenly warrior, and his status in the academy is already in the middle and upper ranks, so he is naturally qualified to know some things.
At the same time, Ren Huan had already known that Shang Xia's success rate in producing fourth-level martial talismans had greatly exceeded the 30% benchmark more than two years ago.
Now that more than two years have passed, Shang Xia's cultivation has increased dramatically, and his talisman-making skills will definitely become more and more sophisticated.
He sent three fourth-level talisman papers this time. It was nominally asking Shang Xia for talismans, but in fact it was to give him three opportunities to make fourth-level talismans.
Moreover, "three pieces of paper make one talisman" is the external rule of the Great Talisman Master. Given the friendship between Ren Huan and Shang Xia, it is naturally impossible to act according to this rule.
Unexpectedly, Ren Huan stretched out his hand to stop Shang Xia's words and said: "Brother Shang, after everything is done, we can talk about other things. Now you must not be polite to me! Besides, I really want to I want to ask for a talisman from you."
Shang Xia pondered for a moment and then smiled and said: "Well, I won't be polite to Brother Ren! Brother Ren, tell me, what kind of talisman do you want?"
Ren Huan had already thought about this, and immediately said: "I am newly promoted to the fourth level, and I am not good at fighting. Naturally, I need a powerful talisman. Well, once this talisman is activated, the momentum must be large, and the attack range It also needs to be wide..."
Having said this, Ren Huan said with some embarrassment: "Brother Shang, are my requirements too harsh?"
Shang Xia smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I happen to have a 'Yuansha Lightning Drawing Talisman' here that meets your needs!"
The "Yuansha Lightning Drawing Talisman" ranks among the best among the more than ten fourth-level martial talismans mastered by Shang Xia, both in terms of its production difficulty and its power.
Ren Huan said happily: "Then I'll trouble Brother Shang!"
The purpose of Ren Huan's trip had been achieved, and he left after greeting for a while.
At this time, Shang Xia looked at Ren Baibai, who had been sitting quietly and said nothing, and said with a smile: "Senior Ren, you are neglecting me. I don't know how senior Ren has settled the clan members properly in these days? Can you still adapt to this world of Cangyu?"
After Ren Baibai witnessed Shang Bo's success in advancing to the fifth level, and after coming to Cangyu Realm, he became more and more respectful when facing Shang Xia. He even envied the man who had just left. The friendship between the people and Shang Xia.
Hearing Shang Xia's inquiry, Ren Bainian said quickly: "My little friend, I can't bear to say something serious! This time, Ren and his family can come to the upper level to define the situation. It is a great blessing! The heaven and earth here are full of vitality, and there are all kinds of cultivation resources." The richness has already dazzled me, Ren, so what else can I not adapt to? I just regret that it came too late!"
Hearing this, Shang Xia laughed and said, "Senior, just adapt to it! A few days ago, I saw in the academy that the children of the Ren family and the well-off young people also entered the academy. This is very good."
Speaking of this, Shang Xia suddenly thought of something, and asked: "By the way, where do the senior tribesmen live now? Is there any business that needs help?"
Ren Bainian said quickly: "I'm worried about you, my friend, and the college has come forward to make arrangements. Now, Ren and some people from this area are temporarily living in a village thirty miles outside the city. All the houses, equipment, fields and soil have been arranged properly, and there is good access." Youcheng is also very convenient.”
Shang Xia nodded and said: "That's good! I wonder why senior came here this time?"
Ren Baibai said with a smile: "First of all, I came to visit my little friend and thank you for taking care of me all the way. Secondly, I came here for this pen!"
As he spoke, Ren Baibai took out a long box from his cuff and opened it. A talisman pen with a white jade luster in its barrel was lying in the box.
Shang Xia stood up in surprise and said, "Senior, has the bone talisman pen been repaired?"
Ren Baibai smiled and said: "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life!"
Shang Xia's face became even more joyful. He stretched out his hand and took out the bone talisman pen. A little bit of evil energy flowing in his body was injected into the talisman pen, and he immediately felt like an arm moving his fingers.
Shang Xia remembered that before the Bone Talisman Pen was repaired, it could barely be used as a mid-grade Talisman Pen, and the evil energy consumed during use was not much worse than that of a high-grade Talisman Pen.
Now that he is holding this talisman pen in his hand, although Shang Xia has not yet made the talisman himself, he can already conclude that the quality of this talisman pen is not inferior to the high-grade purple bamboo pen collected by Fu Tang!
"Okay, okay, great!"
Shang Xia was really happy and said to Ren Baibai: "Senior's skill in repairing sharp weapons is enough to make many warriors with superior weapons in Tongyou City flock to him!"
Although the resources of the Cangyu Realm are abundant far away on the Manyu Continent, there are still only a few warriors who can possess high-level equipment.
In this case, most warriors take great care of the sharp weapons in their hands. However, this type of equipment is mostly used in battles and killings. Damage and consumption are inevitable, but it is difficult to pay the price for something brand new. So, It is natural to tinker with weapons and equipment that are handy.
Ren Baibai said with a smile: "I am also planning to rent a place in the city, not only to open up some income for the family, but also to speed up the integration into this world. However, I am suffering from no way out, so this visit is also a shameless request."
Shang Xia said "Oh" and turned to look at Shang Quan and Shang Tai.
Shang Tai smiled and said: "This is not difficult. The merchant has a shop at the south corner of the city. The area is not small and the rent is cheap. Senior Ren can send his family members to take a look and see if it is suitable for use."
"It works, it definitely works!"
Ren Baibai hurriedly said: "It's enough to have a place to stay in the city! There happen to be two juniors in the family. Although their skills are not as good as mine, they are quite skilled at repairing low-level appliances and items, so they can be sent to stay permanently. "
Seeing that the matter was out of the way, Shang Xia asked, "Senior, what are your next plans? Does the college have any arrangements for this?"
Without waiting for Ren Baibai's reply, Shang Quan on the side smiled and interjected: "Xiao Xia may not know yet, but Senior Ren has now joined the Qi Hall, and at the same time he is also serving as the deputy instructor of Shangshe in the Department of Education."
"oh?"
Hearing this, Shang Xia smiled and said, "Congratulations to senior!"
Yan Su'e will serve as the deputy head of Sanshe in the Department of Teaching at Tongyou College, and is nominally the deputy of her grandfather Shang Bo; now she will serve as the deputy head of Shangshe in the Department of Teaching for a hundred years, which can be regarded as Liu Qinglan's Deputy.
Regardless of their cultivation strength or status, Tongyou Academy has given them enough respect.
After Ren Bai said goodbye and left, Shang Quan suddenly reported to Shang Xia: "Three days ago, Ji Yu and Liu Zhi came to visit at the same time, and each left a heavy gift, saying it was for you. We didn't know How to deal with it, Uncle Wu asked people to send a message and said just accept it."
