After a banquet, Wei Shiqi settled down with Li Yihe, and from the next day, he devoted some of his attention to managing the sect. The Miluo Sect had not been established for a long time, so it lacked accumulation and had no rules to follow, which was both a disadvantage and a good thing. After all, Xia Qian and Qin Rong were young. Wei Shiqi had no doubts about employing people. He appointed Zhao Derong as the manager and left internal and external affairs to her without hesitation. Delegate power and see if she can shoulder this important task based on her temperament and means. Zhao Derong knew very well that this was an excellent opportunity for her to be promoted. She could win the trust of the sect master in one fell swoop. If she failed, she would never get a second chance. She muster up her spirits and work hard at night to support herself. Milo Sect. Fortunately, when Wei Shiqi was staying in the outside world, there was no one available in the Qianfu Valley. She once stepped forward to support the situation, and everyone saw it, but now she is just living up to her name.
Xia Qian and Qin Rong were practicing the Taiyi Foundation Establishment Sutra, but their progress was very slow. The two women had a peaceful mind and had no intention of getting ahead. They just wanted to prolong their lives and stay young. Wei Shiqi regarded their qualifications and took advantage of the situation to help them open up several areas. The acupoints are lifted up one level out of thin air. Changing one's body and changing one's life is an act that defies nature. Others cannot do it, do not want to do it, or dare not do it. In Wei Shiqi's view, it is ordinary. Although the two girls are not destined to be on the road, they took the elixir, cut off the hair and washed the marrow. It is not difficult for him to obtain some of the benefits of practicing Taoism.
Wei Shiqi spent a lot of thought to help him get on the horse and help him for a ride to repay the karma he had planted back then. Xia Qian and Qin Rong knew that the opportunity was rare, so they put all their thoughts behind and concentrated on practicing the Taiyi Foundation Establishment Sutra, attracting the energy of heaven and earth into the body, and opening up the acquired orifices. Xia Qian's five elements are close to water, and Qin Rong's five elements are close to earth. I wonder if it was because of Wei Shiqi's personal guidance. The breath that had been stagnant for a long time turned into a gurgling stream, penetrating the meridians, and opened several " Acquired orifice." The two were surprised and delighted. They seized the last opportunity and borrowed the power of the elixir to try to condense an "acquired seed" in the Dantian, which would become a Tao fetus.
The two daughters of Xia and Qin could not come out of seclusion, and the Miluo Sect was in ruins and waiting to be revitalized. Zhao Derong explained the difficulty to Wei Shiqi and asked if he could recruit some outside servants to make up for the manpower shortage. Regardless of the size of the Immortal City sect, all sects need manpower to take care of chores. There are three sources of this. One is ordinary people, the other is the descendants of monks, and the third is monsters and aliens. Ordinary people have short lifespans and weak strength, and monsters are not of my species, so there are very few who can use them. There are many descendants of monks who are physically strong and have no chance of being on the great road. They turn to tempering their bodies and become body refiners, and there are also a few who serve the sect. In the Immortal City, it is difficult to find disciples with excellent qualifications, but body refiners wait for them and do not attach much importance to them. It is common for the sects that have good friendships to exchange their needs and ask for a few to temporarily relieve the urgent needs.
What Zhao Derong meant was that the Xuanyuan Sect was in the same Taiping Mountain, not far apart. He might as well borrow a few body refiners for the time being, and watch with cold eyes for a long time. If his temperament and ability were available, he might as well spend a sum of money to buy the spiritual pearl elixir and bring it to Miluo Sect. After hearing what she said, Wei Shiqi did not comment, but only ordered her to postpone for a few days until Qianzhong sent Elder Zuo to visit. By then, he would have reliable manpower and no need to use body refiners. Zhao Derong wondered in his heart, if he didn't need to be a body refiner, could he be an ordinary person or a monster? It is possible that Xia Qian and Qin Rong are from the human world, and there are many monsters in the outside world. It is possible to find some knowledgeable people to serve as slaves, but in the end they are not as easy to use as body refiners. However, since the sect master had spoken, she stopped urging her and made do with simplicity. She would take care of all the affairs of Qianfu Valley and wait and see what happens.
A few days later, Qianzhong's elder Zuo Qianfeng came to visit him. With a humble attitude, he stood outside the mountain gate and waited quietly.
Zhao Derong suppressed his surprise and showed no lack of etiquette. He asked Elder Zuo why he came and asked him to sit in the hall. He ordered Banxia to serve tea and called Bai Wax to report to the sect leader that a visitor was coming. Zuo Qianfeng glanced at Bai Wa from afar, Huo Di stood up, his expression suddenly changed, and before Zhao Derong could speak, he asked first, "Is that maid Bai Wa? Did Sect Master Wei bring her from Caiyun Car?"
In a hurry, the question was unreasonable. Zhao Derong thought for a moment, nodded and said: "The sect leader returned to the sect, and he was accompanied by two maids, one Huangli and the other White Wax. It was Bai Wax who just agreed."
Zuo Qianfeng was rubbing his hands and pacing back and forth, excited and seemed a little out of sorts. Zhao Derong was puzzled, but it was inconvenient to ask more questions. Zuo Qianfeng realized something, smiled apologetically at her, stroked his beard and said, "Mr. Zhao is laughing at me! He is happy when he sees hunting, but he is confused when he cares. I really admire the leader of your sect for setting a precedent!" Zhao Derong didn't understand what he meant. , can only smile in return, to be able to make the elders of the Qianzhong Sect so moved, "setting a precedent for a while" may not be a polite term.
Banxia offered tea soup, which was just an ordinary item in the shops in the fairy city. Zuo Qianfeng drank it down, feeling something was wrong in his heart, and his tongue could not taste it. He only felt it was very hot. Of course, with the Qian Zhong Sect elder's Taoist cultivation and supernatural powers, a mere hot tea would not hurt him at all. He was only thinking about the white wax. Just then he glanced at it from a distance and felt that the "puppet worm" had been taken out of this woman's body. , there is no "puppet bug", how can the puppet respond politely and move freely? He has devoted his whole life to studying the art of puppetry, and his attainments are extremely profound. He can be called the number one person in the fairy city, but he has never heard of such a strange art. Could it be that the puppet has developed his own intelligence? Thinking of this, Zuo Qianfeng felt itchy.
After a while, Wei Shiqi came to the hall to meet Elder Zuo, and they sat down separately. Zhao Derong, full of suspicion, led Banxia to retreat and stood outside the hall to wait for greetings. Zuo Qianfeng exchanged a few hurried greetings, couldn't wait to take out a wooden box from his sleeve, pushed open the lid of the box and threw it out. A white light flashed, and thirty puppet bodies were erected in the hall, some long and short, old and young. The handsome ones, the rustic ones, all of them looked dull and motionless.
Zuo Qianfeng sent the wooden box to Wei Shiqi and said, "This is the 'puppet box' I made myself. It can hold half a hundred puppets, so I gave it to the sect leader!"
Wei Shiqi nodded slightly and glanced slowly. As mentioned before, these fifteen pairs of puppet bodies are all of the highest quality, not inferior to Huangli Pewter. One or two of them seem to be more powerful than the two women, weighing a thousand. It can be considered that Pai has put in a lot of effort, and he has been able to collect so much in just a few days, which can be regarded as his best effort. When Zhao Derong saw these many puppets, he suddenly felt enlightened. The sect master did not need body refiners. It turned out that there were puppets from the Qianzhong Sect to control. No wonder! She was from the Huashan Sect and was well-informed. She also heard that puppets are driven by puppet insects. Raising puppet insects is a secret of the Qianzhong Sect. There are several powerful formations that require puppet insects as the eyes of the formation. They actually Are you willing to take it out?
When Zuo Qianfeng saw that he didn't have any dissatisfaction, he felt relieved and asked tentatively: "I wonder how Sect Master Wei plans to drive these empty puppets?"
Wei Shiqi glanced at him and said with a smile: "Elder Zuo, have you ever heard of an old saying in the world, 'Everyone can change the tricks, and each one has his or her own ingenuity.' You don't need puppet bugs to control puppets, there are other ways to do it." He With a thought, he summoned Huang Li Bai Wa, ordered the two girls to stand a few feet away, moved to the left and said, "Elder Zuo, why don't you take a closer look, can you see the mystery?"
