The prudent monk was silent when he heard the words, and spoke again after a long time: "He holds a birthday banquet every year, called birthday celebration, but it is actually to make money. Everyone in the outer sect has known it all these years. Even so, there are still people every year Many disciples go there because they want something."
"Fortunately, although Dai Shitong is greedy for money, he is also trustworthy. Every year, three or five disciples are introduced to him to practice in Jinmai Peak. He cannot be fake."
"When we present this beast bell flower and enter Jinxiao Peak, we won't have to worry about it every year."
The remaining disciples all nodded, hoping that this birthday gift would stand out in the birthday banquet and help them escape from the sea of suffering as soon as possible.
Zhao Shun sat quietly in the teahouse hall, but his spiritual consciousness was always paying attention to the situation in the private room.
After talking with these people, I found out that they are all outer disciples of the Yuheng Sect. Although they have established a spiritual foundation at the age of fifteen or sixteen, they can only be regarded as mediocre in a first-class sect like Yuheng. .
The Dai Shitong in their mouth should be the grandson of the elder in the sect. Although his talent is very ordinary, the elder Zhen Ying only has such a legacy of blood. He usually takes care of him and leads him to the peak where he is to give guidance and practice. .
Dai Shitong was greedy. He held birthday banquets every year in the name of celebrating his birthday, and sent out large numbers of invitations to his outer disciples, openly and secretly trying to get them to come with gifts. Then he promised that he would choose the most satisfactory one among the birthday gifts and let the gift giver enter the Jin Ai Peak where the elder is. Although he is an outer disciple, he has many more cultivation resources than others, which is also impressive. .
Zhao Shun thought that as a first-class sect, the Yuheng sect had its disciples acting haphazardly, and even Elder Zhenying might not be able to protect them. What Dai Shitong did probably did not shake the foundation of the sect, so he was not disciplined.
With this in mind, Yu Heng's disciples in the elegant room also revealed the purpose of their trip during the conversation.
It turns out that the animal bell flower has special effects. It can be combined with eighteen kinds of auxiliary medicines to make an elixir called ringing pill. After the demons and spirits take the ringing pill, their walking movements will be accompanied by the sound of bells. Only if Only by standing still can there be no sound.
In terms of effectiveness, this flower is not as useful as many elixirs that enhance cultivation and are beneficial to practice. However, the beast bell flower only grows in the wild and ancient lands, and has never been seen in other lands. Although it has a strange effect, it is extremely rare, so the price has always remained high.
Moreover, this beast bell flower has a strange fragrance. If it is not made into a wooden box with a kind of spiritual material called smoke wood, the medicinal properties will gradually weaken and even disappear as the fragrance dissipates.
When these people came out on this trip, they made an appointment with someone to buy a wooden box of smoke and wood to ride on the bell flowers.
At this point, Zhao Chun's eyes turned, and a person walked in at the door of the teahouse. After chatting with the waiter for a few words, he was led to the private room where Yu Heng's disciples were.
"What, but the wooden box has been made?"
This man was dressed as a businessman, wearing a silk scarf on his head. As he was talking, he took out a square wooden box from his wide sleeves and said with a smile, "I have never failed in my work. Here, it is the best smoke wood."
The prudent monk took it as he was told. After checking that there was nothing, he calmed down a little and said in pain: "Then I still stick to the previously negotiated price, which is five hundred low-grade spiritual jade."
The man in the silk scarf was noncommittal, but after rolling his eyes, he finally agreed, took the spirit jade and counted it carefully.
With the wooden box in hand, the woman with phoenix eyes carefully took out a small white flower. The petals were slightly closed and had begun to wither. After she put it in a wooden box made of tobacco, the smell in the elegant room instantly dissipated, and her eyes relaxed.
Fu complained softly: "It should have been delivered two days ago, but it was late today, which caused the medicinal properties of the beast bell flower to lose a lot."
The face of the man in Lunjin changed when he heard this, and he left a sentence: "How fast can you ask for smoke wood with five hundred low-grade spiritual jade? Why not do like fellow Taoist Cao of the noble sect, and use two thousand low-grade spiritual jade to make Bitian Pavilion I feel the silk cage for him day and night?" Then he waved his sleeves and left.
"Fellow Taoist, wait a minute!" The prudent monk raised his thick eyebrows, his expression became serious, and asked: "You said someone in the sect purchased a silk cage from Bitian Pavilion?"
"So what."
"Do you know why he bought this thing?"
The man in Lunjin smiled disdainfully and said proudly: "Don't you know that these people are from Yuheng? What else can the Qiu Si Fan Cage do?"
This time he waved his sleeves and left without being stopped, because the expressions of the Yu Heng disciples in the elegant room had already changed greatly, and they looked at each other speechless.
Zhao Chun took a sip of the spirit tea and must have known the function of the silk cage. This thing is made of silk made from the sinew skin of the snake, and then the cage is woven with silk. In the world of cultivation, it is often used to trap a kind of spring leaf bird. The spiritual beast of a bird, placed in a cave, can sing music and calm the mind and clear the air.
However, taking into account the beast bell flowers purchased by these people, Dai Shitong is probably more interested in things like spiritual beasts and spirits.
"Senior brother, if someone finds a spring-leaf bird, how can we raise it for this birthday party?"
"Don't be impatient, and you don't know whether the other party is preparing for the birthday banquet." Although the steady monk said this, he already knew that these words were just useless comfort. The birthday banquet was coming soon, and the person who customized the silk cage was a disciple of the Yuheng sect, and it also matched Dai Shitong's preferences. The purpose of that person was naturally self-evident.
A few people were silent for a moment. If they were not allowed to enter the Golden Misty Peak this year, they might not be able to find anything like the Beast Bell Flower next year. After all, Dai Shitong had no shortage of all kinds of supplementary elixirs and pills. He and others could only use other methods to achieve this. Outperform others.
When I felt desperate, there was a knock on the door of the private room. When I opened the door, I saw a rather cold-looking female nun standing outside the door. She did not wear any rings and wore plain robes.
"Is there something wrong, fellow Taoist?" The steady monk saw that her breath was calm and she couldn't tell her specific cultivation level. She must be much better than himself, so he also showed some respect when asking.
"I have something to present as a gift to the birthday banquet." After Zhao Chun condensed his essence, he no longer needed to practice sword-wielding, so he put Gui Sha away, and his aura became less fierce than that of sword-wielding practitioners, becoming calmer and gentler.
Zhao Chun came straight to the point and revealed her intention. Yuheng's disciples didn't know the identity of this person, but they were moved by what she said. So they welcomed her into the private room with doubts and doubts, and asked:
"I wonder if my friend has anything to offer?"
However, Zhao Shun just took out a drawing from his armband, on which there were sketches of birds, lynxes and other animals.
"Fellow Taoist, are you joking? How can you present such a crude picture as a birthday gift?" When a disciple saw it, his face immediately fell and his tone was angry.
"The birthday gift is not the drawing itself." Zhao Shun put his hand on the painting and said: "I have some knowledge of the art of puppet refining. I got this picture by chance. The puppet beast in it is different from what you usually see. It is very It has an inherent appearance, but can transform into many kinds of beasts on its own. It is so lifelike that it looks like its real body, and it is absolutely difficult to tell the difference with the naked eye."
"If I refine the puppet in the picture, I can offer it as a birthday gift."
Whether it is a humanoid puppet or an animal-shaped puppet, the more similar its shape is to the real body, the more expensive it will be. If it is as Zhao Chun said, it is difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, maybe it will really make Dai Shitong happy.
