Wei Shiqi knocked Huan unconscious and held him under his arm, then quickly returned to the camping ground. He also thought about killing people and silencing them, but the "Moonlight Rotating Mirror" was too involved and he didn't dare to act alone, so he had to give up the idea.
When reporting to Wei Rongniang, he did not even swallow the animal skin fragments.
When Wei Rongniang heard him mention Yu Yao's name, she frowned slightly, subconsciously tapped her index finger, and said nothing. Wei Shiqi knew in his mind that either Wei Rongniang knew Yu Yao or knew her whereabouts.
Wei Rongniang also found it difficult. Taiyi Sect's fu cultivator crossed the border and sneaked into Kunlun Mountain. She wanted to kill him, but behind Huan was Xu Lingguan, the master of Lingxiao Palace, so she couldn't make her own decision. After thinking for a moment, she first put away Juan's bronze medal and said to Wei Shiqi: "If you like any of these things, pick one."
Wei Shiqi was not polite and took the piece of animal skin and said: "The animal skin belongs to Tian Changshou. It records the Yunyang Sect's Roaring Moon Technique. I only need to study it for three days and then hand it over to the master for disposal."
Wei Rongniang looked down upon her at all and said, "The body-training technique is incomplete, so you can keep it."
Duan Wenhuan and Chen Suzhen each got a few talismans. Taiyi Sect's method of refining talismans was unique, and the ones Juan brought with him were even more exquisite, which was extremely rare.
Wei Rongniang gave the remaining bits and pieces to Cao Jinren.
In the dead of night, when everything was silent, Wei Rongniang picked up Huan Yu's sword and left. The road to Xianyun Peak is very long. Even if we go back and forth with a sword, it will take most of a day. When Wei Rongniang comes back, it will probably be around noon the next day.
Everyone chatted for a few words and then each lay down to rest. Cao Jinren couldn't put it down and played with those inconspicuous stones. Wei Shiqi was a little curious and asked: "What are these stones used for?"
"This is a fish-eye stone that is a specialty of Liantao Mountain. You can exchange it for Talisman Medicinal Artifacts in Taiyi Sect. One circle of texture is called a single eye, two circles is called a double eye, and three circles is called a three-eye stone. A piece of double eye is worth ten yuan. For a single eye, one piece for three eyes is worth ten yuan for two eyes. These fish-eye stones are worth a lot of money. If converted into silver taels, one hundred and eighty thousand is still a small amount. For example, if a mortal takes the Purple Gold Pill, it can extend his life by one century. A disciple of Taiyi Sect You can exchange it for a purple gold elixir by spending three yuan per eye, but in the mortal world, the purple gold elixir is extremely valuable, and you can’t even buy it for tens of thousands of taels of silver.”
"Interesting...can the aphrodisiac only be used within Taiyi Sect?"
"This was indeed the case in the early years, but Taiyi Sect was very powerful in the Central Plains, and other sects also recognized apophyllite and used it as currency. This matter was of no harm to Taiyi Sect. Later, Chu Tianyou vigorously promotes the circulation of aphrodisiac stones, and Taiyizong has set up a 'Si Yan' and a 'Qiku' at the foot of Liantao Mountain. If you have a chance, you might as well go and have a look. It's very lively, and you might be able to find some good stuff."
Wei Shiqi was very interested in this and chatted with Cao Jinren for a long time. It turned out that "Siyan" is the market and "Qiku" is the pawnshop. For this reason, Taiyi Sect also formulated detailed regulations and placed them under the control of Shanze Hall. , headed by Master Yuanying.
Cao Jinren was very familiar with these regulations and explained them one by one. Wei Shiqi occasionally added a few words to hit the point, making him feel that he had finally met his confidant. His saliva flew everywhere and his throat became louder and louder.
Duan Wenhuan had no good impression of Taiyi Zong and thought he was annoying because of his long-winded chatter. He glared at him. Cao Jinren was startled and quickly stopped talking and went to collect firewood.
Wei Shiqi closed his eyes, admiring Chu Tianyou of Taiyi Sect in his heart. He vigorously promoted the circulation of apophyllite and took hard currency into his own hands. Such a genius idea was not something ordinary people could think of. Chu Tianyou's With his consciousness so advanced, could he also be a time traveler? Next, will he issue banknotes to replace the circulation of apophyllite and cause an inflationary drama?
Without Cao Jinren's noise, everything became quiet. Wei Shiqi couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and looked at the newly obtained animal skin fragments.
There are four figures sitting cross-legged on the animal skin. The first figure draws a straight line along the spine and has a number of small black dots to represent the meridians and acupuncture points. The small black dots on the back of the second figure are replaced with hollow circles. , only one acupuncture point was painted with a big black spot, the acupuncture points on the third person's back were all big black dots, the acupoints on the fourth person's back were hollow circles, and there were about ten big black spots in the Dantian under the abdomen. .
The last figure marked the dantian, and Wei Shiqi guessed that this was the method of condensing the Tao embryo of Xiaoyue Gong, which was in the same vein as the fragment he had obtained before.
Wei Shiqi counted the black spots on the portrait, there were 12 in total, from Dazhui to Yaoyangguan, there were exactly 12 acupoints. He had dug through nine of them, and there were still "Xuanshu" and "Mingmen". "," Yaoyangguan" three points. Finally arriving at the Tao Ti Pass, Wei Shiqi felt a lot of emotion, but he still couldn't figure out the trick for a moment. He had heard about the dangers of condensing the Tao Ti. With a few crude portraits, he felt the stones to cross the river. I really felt a little scared.
In my mind, seven portraits came and went, and I fell asleep before I knew it.
It was already early the next morning when I woke up. The fire was extinguished and the green smoke dissipated in the morning mist. Cao Jinren was still awake, his breathing was heavy, and Duan Wenhuan and Chen Suzhen were nowhere to be found.
He turned over and sat up, grabbed a ball of snow and rubbed it on his face, then grabbed another ball and stuffed it into his mouth. He felt refreshed and his heart felt cool.
The air in the mountains and forests was fresh, and it was rare to have half a day to spare. Wei Shiqi was in a good mood and walked around on the white snow. Beside a pine forest, he accidentally met Chen Suzhen.
Chen Suzhen was leaning against the pine tree, holding a pine cone in her hand and peeling pine nuts leisurely to eat. When she saw Wei Shiqi, she asked casually: "Do you want to eat pine nuts?"
"No, thanks."
"Forgot you only eat meat...you snored very loudly last night."
Wei Shiqi was a little embarrassed, "Did I disturb you?"
"No. I never sleep. I feel energetic after closing my eyes for a while."
“What do you do with the extra time?”
"Read, practice, and think wildly."
"What books do you like to read?"
"Do you like poems, lyrics and music?"
Wei Shiqi thought to himself: "Poems, lyrics, and music? One moment is worth a thousand pieces of gold. I know that I have to do this. The waiter helped me weakly, and Jiangzhou Sima's green shirt was wet. - Does this count? Let's forget it." He decided not to show off his talent and said, "Well, I'm a rough guy. I can't read a lot of words."
"Junior Brother Wei is being too modest. The regulations of the 'Si Yan' and the 'Qiku' that Junior Brother Cao mentioned yesterday are all about managing the world and benefiting the people. I'm afraid you are the only one in Xiandu who can understand it."
Wei Shiqi could not shirk anything. He did not expect that Chen Suzhen was silent and listened to their conversations one by one. In comparison, Duan Wenhuan was just a young man who was not deeply involved in the world.
"Although Junior Brother Cao is working hard in the outer sect, he is a thoughtful person. No one knows the inside story of Taiyi Sect better than him. If Junior Brother Wei has a chance, he might as well help him."
Wei Shiqi didn't understand what she meant, so he smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Sister, you think too highly of me."
Chen Suzhen smiled and said: "Junior Brother Cao and I were both born into businessmen, and we learned a thing or two from little things. Speaking of which, Junior Brother Cao is still a distant relative of mine. In terms of seniority, he wants to call me aunt."
"Senior sister, you're welcome. Senior Brother Cao is extremely talented and always has a chance to excel."
"Junior brother's blessing!" Chen Suzhen looked at him with a smile, like a businessman with long sleeves and good dancing.
