Everything that happened today made Zhang Xiaosheng feel that Guan Fuzi gave him this guest token not just to allow him to pass through the Hengduan Mountains smoothly, but it might also be related to Guan Fuzi's plan. Regardless of right or wrong, good or bad, Zhang Xiaosheng At this time, for this guest as a guest, I just want to use it if I can, so as not to get deeper into it unknowingly.
When Nangong saw this, he had no choice but to come out and smooth things over:
Grab, grab, grab. "The little saint is the junior of the pavilion master. For convenience, I gave him a guest token, but his seniority is the same as yours, so you should not be humble to each other."
"Yes, uncle."
"Yes, senior." Zhang Xiaosheng agreed obediently. After all, Tianji Pavilion currently treats him only in good and not bad ways. As long as he doesn't mention the guest's affairs, anything will be fine. Otherwise, it means he doesn't know how to show appreciation.
Nangong nodded and looked at An Qiuhe again:
"Qiuhe, why are you at the bottom of Lingming Jiao Pond?"
"Back to Uncle Master, since the disciple broke through the golden elixir, the master has been asking the disciple to practice at the bottom of the pool. While resisting the pressure of the Lingming Jiao, his speed has increased a lot."
"Well, if you want to achieve great achievements, you must endure great hardships. Cultivation must be very difficult," Nangong said thoughtfully.
"Fortunately, I have become accustomed to it. Every year, the master will let the disciple travel for three months in order to increase his knowledge." After An Qiuhe finished speaking, he added:
"It's just that this time it's thanks to the Little Saint."
"Me?" Zhang Xiaosheng asked doubtfully, pointing to the tip of his nose with his right index finger.
"That's right, Master just returned and told me to go on a tour. I was still curious because the last tour had not ended yet, but Master said that there was a junior brother named Zhang Xiaosheng outside and asked me to come out and listen to his arrangements. "
Forehead……
Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't help but look at Nangong, trying to figure out what was going on. Nangong was also confused and said:
"Did your master explain anything else?"
The pursuit of literature is the pursuit of literature. "No, Master said that it is up to Uncle Master to decide whether the disciple needs to go, but as long as he goes out, he must listen to the words of the Little Saint Master...the Little Saint Fellow Taoist."
Nangong pondered for a moment, looked at Zhang Xiaosheng and said:
"If you want to return to the sect, it will be a long journey. If you have Qiu He accompanying you, you will be able to take care of you. Besides, he is more familiar with the surrounding area. Why don't you go together?"
Zhang Xiaosheng didn't know what Guan Xingzi's purpose was, but he thought it wouldn't be detrimental to him, so he immediately said:
"It all depends on the seniors."
Nangong nodded and said:
"In that case, I will give you a ride. Once you enter the Wandan Pavilion's sphere of influence, I will go back to report to the Pavilion Master if it is inconvenient for me to continue deeper."
"Thank you so much, senior."
Nangong waved his hand and summoned the fan-shaped magic weapon again. The magic weapon rose in the wind and soon turned into a fan with a radius of several feet. Nangong jumped on the fan first, and Zhang Xiaosheng and An Qiuhe also landed on the fan bones behind. , Nangong raised his right hand slightly, and the giant fan rose directly from the ground and flew rapidly towards the northeast.
Because they were on the edge of the Lingming Jiao Pond in the Tiandao City area, they were not very far from the Wandan Pavilion. In just over an hour, the fan had stopped. Nangong put away the fan-shaped magic weapon and said to Zhang Xiaosheng:
"It's a long way here, so I hope you'll take it more seriously."
Zhang Xiaosheng cupped his fists and returned the greeting:
"Thank you, senior, for taking care of me all the way. I am very grateful to you, and I will definitely repay you if you have the opportunity!"
Nangong laughed and said:
"Okay, but I can't just spend a thousand middle-grade spiritual stones!"
"That's natural. The junior no longer has the spirit stone, but the senior knows it!"
When Zhang Xiaosheng heard Nangong's joke, he felt a little relaxed for no reason. He felt that this was like the days when they were on the road, and most of the heaviness and pressure he had just by the Lingming Jiao Pond had dissipated.
Nangong laughed again and said:
"Go, I'm leaving too. Qiuhe, take good care of the little saint."
"Disciple, I obey." An Qiuhe also clasped his fists in response.
After saying that, Nangong flew directly into the air, appeared in the distant sky in a blink of an eye, and then disappeared.
Zhang Xiaosheng looked at Nangong's disappearing back, let out a long sigh, and suddenly raised his spirits and said:
"go home!"
Seeing An Qiuhe startled by his sudden voice, he said with some embarrassment:
"Ah, I forgot you were here, sorry."
"Haha, it doesn't matter. Brother Little Saint is really a sweetheart." An Qiuhe replied.
Zhang Xiaosheng also smiled, and the reputation value appeared, indicating that the name was correct. Zhang Xiaosheng was actually a little wary of An Qiuhe's sudden appearance and wanting to follow him, mainly because Tian Xingzi was too unpredictable. If it were a different place, he might not agree to travel with An Qiuhe, but Nangong was present before, and Tian Xingzi must have been observing in secret, so Zhang Xiaosheng agreed without any hesitation.
Xixi. Chaiyou Literature. Xixi. At this time, seeing that An Qiuhe's reputation was friendly, he felt a little relieved. However, the subsequent itinerary still needed to be communicated in advance to avoid any misunderstandings, so Zhang Xiaosheng asked:
"Brother Dao An, what are your plans for this trip?"
“This outing was purely accidental, so it’s all up to the Little Saint Brother!”
Zhang Xiaosheng looked hesitant and said:
"I have to rush back to the sect, near the Hengduan Mountains. I'm afraid the time will be far beyond the three months that Brother Taoist traveled."
"It doesn't matter, it's only three months anyway, we can go wherever we go. As I said just now, this time it's thanks to the little holy brother. Hehe, wouldn't it be a big loss if we don't go back for three months?"
Seeing that An Qiuhe did not force him to follow him to the Hengduan Mountains, Zhang Xiaosheng felt relieved again. Maybe he really was overthinking it, so he asked:
"Then Brother An, do you have any suggestions for our next trip? I am not familiar with the place and place here and have no idea at all."
"Well, let me think about what fun things there are near Wandan Pavilion."
After An Qiuhe finished speaking, he started to count with his fingers. Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't help but feel a little speechless. This guy came out just for fun.
"Oh, no, Wandan Pavilion holds an alchemy competition every three years. Everyone in the subordinate sects can sign up to participate. The rewards are generous. It's just that the preliminary competition is almost over. I don't know if we can make it. .”
An Qiuhe looked depressed.
When Zhang Xiaosheng heard about the alchemy competition, he couldn't help but be a little interested. He knew that Wandan Pavilion was also a top-notch sect. Fully 50% of all the elixirs on the market in the world of immortality came from Wandan Pavilion and its more than 30 subordinates. The first-class and second-class sects provide it together, so they have a high status in the world of immortality. However, another first-class sect, Yaowang Valley, only accounts for 30%, and the remaining 20% is divided among the other major sects.
However, the master of Wandan Pavilion refines elixirs, while Yaowang Valley is better at cultivating elixirs. It’s hard to say who is superior and who is inferior, but both sects are backed by the Meteor Immortal Mountains, so they don’t have to worry about the supply of basic elixirs. In terms of high-level elixirs, Yaowang Valley has more elixirs, while the elixirs refined by Wandan Pavilion are of much better quality. The cooperation between the two companies is full of competition.
Zhang Xiaosheng learned this information from the map slips provided by Guan Fuzi. According to Guan Fuzi's records, Wandan Pavilion seems to have a slight advantage, after all, the quality of his elixirs is slightly better.
Grab, grab, grab. No matter how well you cultivate elixirs, the ultimate goal is to refine better elixirs.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't help but ask:
"Brother Dao just said about the preliminary round, will there be a rematch?"
"That's natural. After the rematch, there will be a final. The final is the most exciting thing. However, outsiders are not allowed to watch the rematch and final. Only those who participate can enter."
"Then even if we catch up, we won't be able to watch." Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't help but wonder, and he didn't understand why you were so anxious.
Xixi, Baolai, Xixi. "Brother, you don't know. The Wandan Pavilion holds this competition every three years for three purposes. One is to discover some geniuses who are good at practicing alchemy and recruit them. This is also an important reason why the Wandan Pavilion can always dominate the Medicine King Valley."
Zhang Xiaosheng nodded slightly, the most important thing in the 21st century is talent, and wanting to come here is no exception.
"The second point is actually related to the first. Wandan Pavilion holds an alchemy competition every three years to highlight their sect's status in the entire alchemy world. According to Master, there were many first-class sects who could do it in the early years. To compete with the Wandan Pavilion, but as the conference was held every three years, the Wandan Pavilion gradually became the most influential alchemy sect, with a large number of talented young people joining it, and it has become stronger and stronger."
"Wouldn't other first-class alchemy sects hold similar competitions?" Zhang Xiaosheng couldn't help but wonder.
"How could it not be held? After all, Wandan Pavilion was the first to hold such a competition, and its reputation has already been established, and their prizes are far beyond what other sects can match. Naturally, there are more and better people participating in their competition, and By the time other sects reacted, Wandan Pavilion had already become a sect. At this point, other sects gradually declined, and eventually had to be merged into Wandan Pavilion and became its subordinate sects. Now only Yaowang Valley can barely compete."
Zhang Xiaosheng secretly smacked his lips, what a good method. Isn't this just like the taxi-hailing software of later generations? First, they spend crazy money to subsidize users and drivers. After killing other competitors and forming a monopoly, they can make all the expenses in a short time. return.
"The third thing must be to make money." Zhang Xiaosheng said first.
"Brother Little Saint is really smart, yes. The third reason is to collect resources. There is a registration fee to participate in the Wandan Pavilion competition. Although the preliminary round only requires one medium-grade spiritual stone, hundreds of thousands of monks sign up for the competition each time. "
嘘戅宝来戅. Zhang Xiaosheng was a little confused again and said:
"Although hundreds of thousands of mid-grade spiritual stones are a lot, they are nothing compared to Wandan Pavilion's net worth."
"Of course it's nothing, but this is the first step." An Qiuhe became more interested and said with bright eyes:
"Wandan Pavilion has many methods, otherwise it would not have been able to stabilize Yaowang Valley for thousands of years. Even Master admires their methods of making money!"
"Brother Taoist, please don't lower your appetite!" Zhang Xiaosheng said helplessly!
