In Hibiscus Garden.
The black-masked Murong Yue and Lao Guan had differences over the distribution of the Foundation Establishment Pills, or they both wanted to get the maximum benefit.
When a Foundation-Building Pill is released, no matter who doesn't get it, they want to be compensated immediately, and then buy the materials and find people to crowdfund the pill.
"Fellow."
After the two discussed for a while, it was obvious that they had a plan in mind at this old age. They couldn't help showing a look of embarrassment on their faces, and sighed and shook their heads.
"Let's be honest, the losing party will receive at most 70% to 80% of the compensation, and most of it will be based on spirit stones, and the foundation building materials cannot be collected just by having spirit stones."
"Once it fails, even if it is compensated, it will take three to five years to prepare for alchemy again. This is why most monks want to fight for the first allocation right."
This is really not nonsense at this old juncture, and Murong Yue only has a little less material than him, so naturally she is unwilling to give up, so she demands compensation in the shortest possible time.
Looking at the silent female cultivator Murong Yue, Lao Jun couldn't help but reveal a wry smile, "Fellow Taoist, no matter who you are looking for, there are few casual cultivators who have such financial resources. If they have such financial resources, why bother to refine elixirs alone. "
However, Murong Yue, who was silent, said hoarsely: "But if this delay is in vain for three to five years, fellow Taoist must give an explanation."
As soon as Murong Yue let go, a gleam flashed in Lao Guan's eyes, and an awkward smile appeared on her face.
"Fellow Taoist, what do you think of this? Although my grandson is a bit older, he practices Changchun Gong. He has not abused pills in his accumulation over the years. I can't say that he will be able to break through the foundation building, but there is still half a chance. .”
This has to be said about the advantages of spiritual root talent. There are no bottlenecks in heavenly spiritual roots. Earthly spiritual roots and foreign spiritual roots can be overcome without foundation-building pills as long as they practice hard. As long as there are no major problems with high-grade spiritual roots, they can break through the foundation-building pills. The probability of being basic is half, the middle-grade spiritual roots are a little difficult but better, and the most painful thing is the low-grade spiritual roots.
Lao Guanzhan looked at the foreign monk on the other side of the black veil with a smile on his face, "I dare not say how much weight I and my grandson have in this Tianyuan City, but if my grandson breaks through the foundation building, I will use the foundation building monk as a guarantee. , we can definitely collect these foundation building materials as compensation for fellow Taoists as quickly as possible."
"Of course, if the breakthrough fails, I won't have anything to say." These words are spoken from the bottom of my heart at this old juncture, and no one you can ask for can immediately come up with so many foundation building materials to compensate.
Murong Yue, who was masked in black gauze, became even more hesitant, but she seemed to have seen Lao Junjun's plan, and she couldn't help but have a look of caution in her eyes.
"Fellow Daoist Guan, if you have anything to say, just say it."
This is a normal reaction. After all, a female monk from out of town must not be simple-minded to reach this point. She immediately pretended to be embarrassed at this old juncture.
"That fellow Taoist, if my grandson succeeds in breaking through the Foundation Establishment, he will be considered a dignified Foundation Establishment monk, and he will be worthy of fellow Taoist! Of course, the little old man is just a suggestion."
At this moment, Lao Junguan quickly explained in embarrassment, and even waved his hands and said: "The little old man said to give him a chance. After all, everyone may fail, why not take the gamble once, and my grandson has also inherited the family's talent for drawing talismans. It's just that I have been struggling with cultivation these years, and I didn't let this kid specialize in this way..."
He talked a lot at this juncture. To put it bluntly, he just fell in love with Murong Yue and wanted to find a good match for his grandson.
After all, this is a female cultivator who has the opportunity to build a foundation. If this girl can really build a foundation and succeed, she will definitely get a big advantage.
Of course, if the female cultivator doesn't like it, or if the negotiation doesn't work out, they won't lose anyway.
As for if the female cultivator fails to break through, then it will be his grandson's turn, not the other party's.
Murong Yue, whose face was covered by black gauze, pondered for a moment, then raised her head with a determined expression, "Fellow Taoist, if I get a pill, I want you to compensate me as quickly as possible, three years! I Wait three years at most!”
This attitude of no rejection and no agreement immediately made Lao Guanguan smile. This was a normal reaction. If he had agreed directly, he would have suspected something was wrong.
In three years, the opportunity is great. Murong Yue may also find a stronger backer here, but both sides have their own plans.
"Okay, if my grandson succeeds in his breakthrough, he will be fine for three years!" Lao Mo was also cheerful and agreed quickly with a nod.
"If my grandson is not favored by God, the old man will take his grandson to live in the outer city. If he lives frugally for three years, he can give this fellow Taoist this compensation even if he grits his teeth."
The two finally reached an agreement, with smiles on their faces at this juncture. They had prepared for the worst outcome and were just waiting for Lin Changan to start the fire.
However, he could tell as soon as he looked at the female cultivator that there was a trace of evil aura between her eyebrows and eyes, which was obviously coming from a small place. Naturally, there must be some physical problem.
Hidden wounds and the residual erysipelas caused by the misuse of elixirs will all affect breakthroughs. On the other hand, he has protected his grandson very well over the years, and he practices Changchun Gong. The advantage is mine!
"Okay, I'll be here at the end of the month."
Murong Yue nodded solemnly and turned to leave. After all, she was at a disadvantage in crowdfunding for elixirs, which was also the helplessness of countless casual cultivators.
This is also the reason why there are those low-quality Foundation Building Pills circulating outside, and there are countless casual cultivators who are willing to fight even though they know there is a problem. If they don't fight, they have no chance at all, but if they fight, they still have a little chance.
After the negotiation was completed, Lao Guanjian excitedly told his grandson the news with a flushed face. He even laughed and said that he should relax during this period and put himself in the best condition.
Guan Changshou was also full of excitement. He had been frugal with his grandfather these years. He obviously had so many spiritual stones, but he didn't dare to waste them. Wasn't it just for today?
"By the way, you kid, please hold that girl Tao steady during this period, but don't let her discover this female cultivator. And after you break through, you should be more careful with this female cultivator."
Seeing his grandfather's persuasion to have his feet on the same boat, Guan Changshou hesitated a little and said anxiously: "Grandpa, isn't this not good?"
"What do you know!" Looking at his grandson, he snorted angrily, admonishing him with experience.
"The more powerful this monk is, the more difficult it is to have children. Which foundation-building monk doesn't have a lot of beautiful concubines? Besides, your grandfather, I don't want you to have two boats now."
"Tao Yatou, please stay safe and don't let her find out. You should also keep in touch with this outsider. If this outsider really builds a foundation, think about what will happen after the two foundation-building monks are combined. scene?"
When he said this, Lao Guanjian's face flushed even more, and he said excitedly: "Even if we are no longer in Tianyuan City, if we choose to find a stable place, two foundation-building monks are enough to form a strong family."
"Isn't it better to go to a certain place and claim ancestral status than here?" Ba smacked his lips twice, and couldn't help but laugh twice at the old juncture: "Of course this is just your grandfather's idea, and the chance is not great, but it's better than nothing, right? You have to seize the opportunity."
"If you can't catch it, isn't there a girl from the Tao family?"
As expected of someone who has been through this old juncture, I completely want to grasp it, but I don’t want to give up on the thing I’m holding now. I just want to take the watermelon away, and I don’t want to give up the egg either.
"I understand Grandpa."
Guan Changshou took a deep breath. Some people never have this opportunity in their lives. Now that he finally has this opportunity, he will naturally try his best to seize it. If he fails to seize it, at least he will not regret it.
…
That night, with excitement on his face, Guan Changshou took Tao Qiaozhi to have a good meal in a restaurant, and then came to the gambling house.
"Brother Guan, you usually just play for a while and then leave. Why do you want to go to the second floor this time?"
When she saw Guan Changshou heading directly towards the second floor uncharacteristically, Tao Qiaozhi was secretly happy, but her face looked anxious, as if she was trying to persuade him.
However, Guan Changshou looked at Tao Qiaozhi who cared about him, and nodded with a smile on his face, "Qiaozhi, in the past, I restrained myself because my grandfather worked so hard to build a foundation for me."
"But now!" Although he didn't say anything further, the pride on Guan Changshou's face clearly meant that the foundation building materials have been gathered, can't I still enjoy it?
"Brother Guan, isn't this good?"
Tao Qiaozhi was still hesitating to persuade, but Guan Changshou smiled and waved his hand: "Qiaozhi, do you know what I need now?"
"What?"
Tao Qiaozhi's face was full of doubts, but Guan Changshou laughed and said: "What I need most now is to keep myself in the best condition, but I have always been curious about the second floor and want to go up and see it. Down."
After hearing these words, Tao Qiaozhi suddenly showed a look of surprise and couldn't help but pat her chest and pretend to be shocked.
"Brother Guan, you are so evil. I was so scared that I thought you were going to do something random, but I agreed that enough is enough."
Faced with Tao Qiaozhi's constant reminders, Guan Changshou couldn't help but smile and nod: "Okay, don't worry, you don't know how many spirit stones I have in my storage bag, even if you don't want to stop it."
While the two were chatting and laughing, Guan Changshou walked to the gambling room on the second floor.
When he saw piles of spiritual stones on the gaming table, Guan Changshou, who saw this scene for the first time, couldn't help but widen his eyes and his breathing became rapid.
Before, he thought that the foundation-building monks were already superior, but now the gambling room on the second floor directly calmed him down, because these piles of spiritual stones were just foundation-building pills.
But at this time, Guan Changshou did not see the sadness and resentment flashing in Tao Qiaozhi's eyes when he saw this scene. Her father lost everything here, otherwise why would she do such a thing to build the foundation.
"Haha, come again."
Guan Changshou laughed with excitement. He could not bring more than 300 spirit stones, but in less than half an hour, nearly 800 spirit stones appeared in front of him. This scene was simply extremely exciting.
Tao Qiaozhi on the side secretly took a deep breath. As a bystander, coupled with some experiences, she was unusually calm.
"Brother Guan!"
Tao Qiaozhi is well aware of this gambler's mentality. No matter how shrewd you are, as long as you are blinded by the benefits, everyone will be red-eyed.
To Tao Qiaozhi who had been admonishing him next to him, Guan Changshou nodded excitedly and said: "Qiaozhi, I'll play for a while, haven't you seen these spiritual stones?"
While the two were playing, Lin Changan's figure appeared in the gambling room on the second floor. The middle-aged Foundation Establishment monk in charge stepped forward with a smile on his face and said respectfully: "Master Lin."
Lin Changan glanced lightly and then followed the steward into the box. Guan Changshou couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene from a distance.
"Qiaozhi, look, Master Lin is here."
At this moment, Guan Changshou seemed to have found a reason, and he felt even more stubborn. Now your status as Master Lin is unattainable. When I become a foundation-building monk in the future, even if I am not as good as you, I will definitely be able to sit on an equal footing with you. Enter the box, not here. .
After entering the box, the steward in front of him respectfully took out the account book. However, after just flipping through a few pages, Lin Changan showed a playful smile on his face and put down the account book in his hand.
"Fellow Daoist Huang, your Huang family promised me this gambling house. As long as I help your Huang family make elixirs for one day, I will own half of this gambling house, right?"
The foundation manager below, who was over 100 years old, nodded with a smile on his face and said: "This is natural."
Seeing the other party nodding, Lin Changan also smiled and said: "Huang Ping is not the only one in the Huang family who has the final say. I think other members of the Huang family will also welcome me to help."
Lin Changan's smiling voice echoed, and Manager Huang immediately broke into a cold sweat. Could this man have noticed it?
"Then this account book, what I want to say to your Huang family now, no! It should be what Taoist Brother Huang Ping promised me, but it seems that it has not been fulfilled."
The father and son lineage of Huang Ping and Huang Xi is considered average in the family, and Huang Xi has outstanding talents, but the family gives Huang Xi resources in a preferential manner. The resources of this faction need to be determined by personal means.
Lin Changan tapped his fingers gently on the account book, and the steward of the Huang family in front of him suddenly showed a smile that was uglier than crying.
"Master Lin, don't be angry. It's all my fault. It's my fault."
He is over a hundred years old and is still in the early stages of foundation building. The foundation is unstable and has no potential at all. Lin Changan is naturally not afraid of offending.
The steward in front of him anxiously took out an account book again. This time Lin Changan scanned it calmly. He could see the problem even with his eyes closed. He really thought he was an alchemist and didn't understand this.
"Next time, you can go to Huang's house and tell it yourself."
Faced with Lin Changan's beating, the steward nodded repeatedly. This time he did not dare to underestimate the alchemist anymore. His tricks were already secretive enough, and they were not many. However, this man actually saw it at a glance. Out.
"No, something is wrong here!"
When Lin Chang'an suddenly found fault again, the steward's face suddenly turned green, and he hurriedly explained with wide eyes: "Master Lin, there is really no problem at all, I swear!"
Looking at the steward in front of him who was anxious to explain, Lin Changan smiled, "Did I say it was your problem?"
I saw Lin Changan tapping on a few places with his fingers, "The problem here is, go down and check the people below, there are three hundred spirit stones missing."
The steward was dumbfounded. This... this was a problem he couldn't even see. What on earth does this man do? Aren't you an alchemist? How could you tell something was wrong at just one glance?
Thank you fellow Taoists for your support, I will try my best to write it.
