Chapter Seventy-Five: Plan Ahead
Although she looked at Xiao Mian in disbelief, Fu Qingqiong pondered for a long time, but she still put the three bottles of wood gold into her storage bag.
"No matter how sincere you are in what you said, this wood in the gold is indeed a fundamental thing for the sect, and it is very important, so I will accept your heart for the sect!" Seeing Xiao Mian's low eyebrows, Fu Qingqiong asked angrily: "Say it! Now that this gift has been given, tell me about your request and purpose!"
"This box of fourth-order coiled silk grass, although it was artificially generated, but the effect is eight hundred years even if it is not a thousand years, I want to ask my senior sister to help me dispose of it, and the spirit stone senior sister can account for thirty percent!" Seeing Fu Qingqiong open her mouth to speak, Xiao Mian hurriedly said: "If Senior Sister doesn't want these thirty percent spirit stones, I will take them to auction!"
"Why not! Why not! Your kid is so rich now, I'm worried that I won't have a chance to kill you properly!" Seeing Xiao Mian's sincere expression, Fu Qingqiong changed her words when she reached her lips, and then pointed to the bundle of fire cloth and asked, "Do you want to sell this thing too?"
"No, I ask my senior sister to help me buy some things: one is at least three high-grade Zhuji Dan, and the other is at least one fourth-order thunder bead; the rest should be regarded as commissions, can someone help me make two fire coats from this bundle of fire cloth?" As soon as Xiao Mian finished speaking, Fu Qingqiong stared at Xiao Mian with a suspicious expression and asked, "Zhuji Dan? Are you going to build a foundation? No! Seeing that your breath is disordered, you obviously don't have the mellow and free feeling of the Great Perfection of the Qi cultivation period, what is the use of you wanting to build a Jidan?"
"Little brother, isn't this a rainy day?"
"Hmph! It's Zhuji Dan and Fire Thunder Bead, and I don't care about your! For the sake of your Sancheng Spirit Stone, I can agree to these three things. The fourth-order silk grass is a good spiritual material for weaving robes, shields, and even futons, and it changes hands quickly; although Zhuji Dan is in demand, high-grade Zhuji Dan is even more difficult to find, but as long as there are enough spirit stones, not to mention three, you can always get one or two; but at least the fourth-order thunder beads are indeed a little difficult, you must know that the items above the fourth order are all the patents of Jindan monks, and few of them are lost for sale, so it can only be said that it depends on the opportunity; as for the refining of the fire alkane suit, it will take some effort, you shouldn't be in a hurry to use it, right?"
Listening to what Fu Qingqiong said in an orderly manner, Xiao Mian nodded after confirming that it was correct.
"Having said that, you haven't been back to the sect for two years, Senior Uncle Yuanxu and Senior Brother Lu Chengfeng are very worried about you!" When he said this, Fu Qingqiong's eyes stared at Xiao Mian without blinking, Xiao Mian's heart jumped when he heard the name of Yuanxu, but he replied without changing his face: "Is the family teacher still in good health? What is Senior Brother Lu's cultivation now?"
"I haven't heard of anything wrong with him, but I've heard that his old man's longevity is approaching! As for Senior Brother Lu, I haven't heard that he has broken through to the advanced level of the foundation building stage!"
"Oh!"
The wind was light, Xiao Mian nodded.
After that, Xiao Mian only cared about tasting tea and didn't say anything again.
After drinking the cup of tea, Xiao Mian got up and said goodbye.
Fu Qingqiong sent him to the door, and watched Xiao Mian walk out of the inner courtyard, and then returned to the room.
"This stinky boy is really a big deal, even the old lady was almost bought by him!" Bi Luoxian was already sitting on the chair, looking at the silk grass and fire raccoon cloth on the table, her face was very strange. Fu Qingqiong hurriedly took out the three bottles of wood gold and handed them to his master, Bi Luoxian's face was a little better, but he still said to himself: "He said that this is the only stock he has on hand, do you believe it?"
"I don't know!"
"Hmph! He is young, his cultivation is low, but he has a lot of scheming in the city at all--he is another Yuan Xu! These three bottles of wood in the gold are his stepping stones, and he is throwing stones to ask for directions! The things you told him about the sect last time certainly made him feel something, but he may not have the heart to use the sect!" If the sect can't provide protection to the disciples, why should the disciples join the Five Elements Sect?"
"You!huh...... You're helping him! I've heard about it, and you've known him before the foundation was built!
"What did the master say......?
"Okay! Okay! It's not interesting to say this! Do you really think he can deal with that old fox? Your Yuanxu Master Bo Shouyuan is not much, and he no longer goes down to Yanzhu Peak, if he wants to go back to the mountain, won't he throw himself into the net? Even if he has some powerful helpers, but it is a matter of the face of the sect, how can he let outsiders do anything wrong on my Five Elements Mountain?"
Bi Luoxian was obviously not optimistic about Xiao Mian, Fu Qingqiong pondered for a moment, but answered the question.
"Before today, could Master have thought that he would take out three bottles of wood in one go? There are also these thousand-year-old fourth-order coiled silk grass, a bundle of hundred-piece fire cloth, although it is not a heavenly treasure, it is definitely not a Qi cultivation period cultivator, right?"
"This ...... Hmph, the gold in the wood is a fundamental thing, enough to cultivate a metal spiritual root for the sect, and it is just a pearl and dust on that kid. This time, the kid surnamed Xiao is smart, and he obediently took it out, but it saves the old lady from doing the evil thing of robbing the junior's assets, otherwise ......"
"I'm afraid this is the most terrifying thing about Senior Brother Xiao......"
Bi Luoxian was stunned when he heard this, his mind changed slightly, and his expression was quite uncertain.
Besides, Xiao Mian at this time was wandering alone in the stall area west of Lingchuanfang City.
Although Xiao Mian didn't know that he was in Fang Cai's little pavilion, he actually played a trick of throwing stones and asking for directions under the nose of Biluo Immortal, one of the three major golden pills of the Five Elements Gate. But judging from the fierce competition between the three major sects last time, the attraction of the wood in his hand to the sect may not be too small, so he simply took out three bottles of wood in one breath and smashed it, taking the lead in blocking Fu Qingqiong and Bi Luoxian's mouths.
As for the silk grass and fire cloth, it was not very important to Xiao Mian, he just wanted to use the excuse to hook up with Fu Qingqiong, so as to test the reaction of the sect.
Now it seems that the attitude of the sect or Fu Qingqiong's Bibotan line towards herself is quite subtle, judging from some inexplicable words that Fu Qingqiong said to herself before, she seems to have a rough guess about the matter between herself and Yuanxu Ancestor and grandson.
If this is the case, she is already thankful that she doesn't help Yuan Xuan catch herself, how can she still help herself openly and secretly like now?
Then there is only one possibility: Fu Qingqiong or the people behind Fu Qingqiong want to create some trouble for Yuan Xu, and they don't want Yuan Xu to live too comfortably!
In this way, isn't it about the dispute between the Bibotan line and the Yanzhufeng lineage, and it involves the internal struggle of the sect faction!?
Thinking of this, Xiao Mian's heart sank, and he felt irritable for no reason: could he be used as a knife in his hand by Fu Qingqiong or Bi Luoxian?
My life is up to me, if you really dare to manipulate me at will, you must be careful that you will not let go if I bite me in the end!
Gritting his steel teeth fiercely, Xiao Mian noticed Xuan Lang who was chatting with Ye Qingguo in front of him. Seeing Xuan Lang's gaze noticing him, Xiao Mian shook his head imperceptibly. Although Xuan Lang is a notoriously honest man, he is not stupid, so he began to clean up the stall immediately, and then pulled the chattering Ye Qingguo to his home.
Xiao Mian followed the two of them step by step and left the stall area.
