315, Goodbye Caiyun Fairy
Three million to rent a shop for a hundred years, this price may be a little lower than the "market price".
But Lingyin Sect is well-known, and it is undoubtedly safer to rent and sell to Lingyin Sect.
It will not cause him trouble.
Besides, he does not make money from the shop rent, so a little less is not a big deal.
"Thank you, fellow Daoist Chang."
Han Shan thanked him and signed the spiritual contract.
...
...
After Han Shan left, Xu Xing asked the snake demon Xiaoxiao to go out and inquire about the latest information. He found that it was the same as what Han Shan said, so he had an idea in his mind.
He opened a quiet room in the backyard of the shop and stayed in the pawnshop temporarily, waiting for the next monk to rent a shop to arrive.
Half a year later.
Another monk came to the door.
However, this monk surprised Xu Xing. It was his master Caiyun Fairy, who he worshipped in Danding Sect as "Yao Dang".
He thought about it for a while and decided to go out to meet this Caiyun Fairy.
In front of Fairy Caiyun, he had two disguised identities, one was "Yao Xing", a free cultivator, and the other was "Yao Dang", the nephew of "Yao Xing".
"Just tell the truth..."
"With my current status and cultivation, Danding Sect should not care too much about this matter. After all, I have never been among the core disciples of Danding Sect..."
Xu Xing thought.
Just for this little thing, he concluded that Danding Sect would not deliberately cause trouble for him.
Xiaoyao Erxian, White Deer Venerable and other Yuanying Great Cultivators forced him to hand over the earth dragon cub, and they also planned to come to the door in person to talk about the pros and cons.
Although Danding Sect is strong, it also has enemies, unlike the Emperor's Pavilion in the dark, acting without scruples.
"At worst, I will apologize."
Xu Xing smiled, flicked his sleeves, walked out of the quiet room, and came to the front hall.
There is a heart demon tribulation in the Yuanshen tribulation.
Although deceiving Danding Sect and Fairy Caiyun did not leave any knot in his heart, he still had to try to avoid it.
Now, the affairs of the Danding Sect are no longer a hindrance to him, so he can take this opportunity to cut off the cause and effect.
"I am Caiyun, a disciple of the Danding Sect, and I meet Senior Chang..."
"You are... Yao Dang?"
"Seventh Brother?"
In the living room, Fairy Caiyun saw the door of the backyard open and a cultivator with the aura of a Nascent Soul walked out, and she subconsciously bowed.
However, after the bow, when she looked up and saw Xu Xing's appearance, she was stunned for a moment, and her eyes were slightly absent-minded.
Decades ago, she had not heard the news that "Yao Dang" had broken through the barrier, so she went to "Yao Dang"'s cave in person.
When she opened the dragon-breaking stone in the cave, she found that "Yao Dang" had gone, and she mistakenly thought that "Yao Dang" had passed away.
Unexpectedly, when she came to the Demon Island with her master today, she saw the seventh disciple "Yao Dang", who appeared in front of her as Senior Chang.
"I just made a slip of the tongue, please forgive me, Senior Chang..."
After Fairy Caiyun said this, she immediately felt something was wrong, bowed and apologized.
The world of immortal cultivation is vast, with billions of creatures, and cultivators with similar looks are everywhere.
The Senior Chang in front of her is not necessarily her disciple "Yao Dang" who has not yet broken the Dan.
"Fairy Caiyun, please don't blame me, Chang is indeed the Yao Dang you mentioned, that is, your seventh disciple, and the scattered cultivator Yao Xing..."
Xu Xing shook his head.
After speaking, he bowed solemnly to Fairy Caiyun to show his apology.
"It was Chang who deceived the fairy."
"If there is any fault, please forgive me, Fairy Caiyun..."
Xu Xing said sincerely.
"This matter...this matter..."
When Fairy Caiyun heard Xu Xing's words, her mood suddenly became unstable. While she was angry, she was also afraid that she would offend Xu Xing, the Yuanying Daojun, by making a slip of the tongue.
Although she came from a big sect and her master was also a powerful elder of Danding Sect, these titles belonged to her master and had little to do with her as a Daodan disciple.
"This matter... is because I am short-sighted and failed to see through the identity of the senior. No wonder Senior Chang..."
Fairy Caiyun lowered her head slightly, smiled bitterly in secret, and said to Xu Xing.
Back then, Xu Xing asked her to exchange the spiritual objects for the formation of infants. According to her estimation, it should be for the preparation of the formation of infants.
If this speculation is true, then Xu Xing's cultivation level when he sneaked into Danding Sect under the alias "Yao Dang" should be Daodan realm.
Since they were cultivators of the same realm, she failed to see through Xu Xing's disguise, which was a misjudgment of people. If it was spread out, even if Danding Sect held her accountable, they would first hold her as the "master" accountable.
Of course, the biggest possibility is that Danding Sect suppressed this matter and did not choose to expose it to protect the face of the sect, and only dealt with her secretly.
"Fairy, you don't have to do this. Chang is at fault for this matter..." Xu Xing shook his head, took out a spiritual contract from his arms, and handed it to Fairy Caiyun.
"This is the lease spiritual contract for the shop in Wushan Market. Chang will give it to you as a gift. It is the price for resolving this cause and effect."
Xu Xing said solemnly.
A shop to resolve this cause and effect grudge, it seems that he lost, but it is not.
Dan Ding Sect will not easily take action against a Yuanying Daojun to avoid grudges, but if this Yuanying Daojun himself does not know how to advance and retreat, then the future is uncertain.
He gave a shop to Fairy Caiyun, not just a gift, but to completely eliminate this cause and effect grudge by borrowing the background behind Fairy Caiyun.
"Thank you, Senior Chang."
After hesitating for a long time, Fairy Caiyun nodded slightly and took the spiritual contract.
Xu Xing's fake identity to enter Dan Ding Sect to become a disciple is not a big deal, but not a small deal.
As long as she suppresses this matter and uses some connections, and Xu Xing doesn't tell anyone about it afterwards, the matter will be over.
"However... I can't ask for this shop for nothing. Senior Chang, just rent it to me at a friendly price..."
Fairy Caiyun wrote, changed the spiritual contract, and handed it to Xu Xing.
The spiritual contract stipulates that the store will be leased for one hundred years and the rent will be one million spiritual shells.
This price is two million lower than the market price of three million Lingbei.
It's a bargain price.
"Senior Chang doesn't know that I rent the shop for my own cultivation..."
Then, Fairy Caiyun pursed her lips and told the story of why she rented the store.
This time she came to "Tiande Pawnshop" to rent a shop, not for the Danding Sect, but for herself.
Like Xu Xing, Fairy Caiyun also valued the business opportunities in Wushanfang City after the opening of the Louhai Secret Realm.
"I see..." Xu Xing nodded, with a look of relief on his face, "Chang also had doubts before... With the strength of the Alchemy Sect, a suitable alchemy shop should have been rented in Wushanfang City long ago. No fairy is needed. That’s why you made this special trip.”
Fairy Caiyun chose to rent the shop at a low price instead of keeping it for her own use. Her intention was obviously to let Xu Xing protect her for the sake of her past "favor".
After a hundred years, the grudges will be settled.
"But..." Xu Xing glanced at Fairy Caiyun and said doubtfully: "There is already an alchemy shop of the Danding Sect in Wushanfang City. Fairy, if you open a shop again, you may not be able to compete with the alchemy shops of the Danding Sect."
He has practiced alchemy for such a long time, and the reason why he is still at the second-level alchemy level is because of the existence of the Alchemy Sect in Nanyan Continent.
Whatever elixir you want, you can buy it directly from the Alchemy Sect without having to refine it yourself.
He doesn't need low-level elixirs.
High-level elixirs are not only difficult to find, but also the spiritual materials.
Without spiritual materials to refine elixirs, no matter how many elixir theories there are, they are just castles in the air and cannot stand up to actual combat.
Previously, he asked Dai Ji to take a photo of the fourth-level alchemy cauldron at the Nine Kingdoms Fair, just for emergencies.
"The Alchemy Shop of the Danding Sect sells only conventional elixirs. I have two secret elixirs that I got by chance..."
"It's called the Exploding Blood Pill and the God-Enhancing Pill."
Fairy Caiyun said.
Hearing this, Xu Xing immediately knew something in his mind.
These two elixirs, as the names suggest, are elixirs that temporarily increase blood energy and enhance spiritual consciousness. They are particularly useful for exploring secret realms.
Fairy Caiyun dared to open a shop selling these two secret medicines, because she must have known that the Danding Sect's alchemy shops did not sell these two same types of secret medicines, or that the two secret medicines had an advantage in price and could easily obtain sales.
"When Chang was in the Fairy Cave, he remembered that the Fairy was not a fourth-level alchemist... In this secret adventure, most of the people who came were Nascent Soul Dao Lord..."
Xu Xing thought for a moment and asked about this matter.
Third-level elixirs are useful for Dao elixirs, but for Nascent Soul, they are of no use.
"The reason why these two elixirs are secret medicines is because there is no need to use a fourth-level alchemist to refine them..."
Fairy Caiyun smiled slightly.
"Since the shop opened by Senior Chang is a pawnshop, if these two spiritual materials are exchanged by monks, please pay attention to Senior Chang and sell them to me..."
Then, Fairy Caiyun took out two jade slips and handed them to Xu Xing.
On the jade slips, there are pictures and introductory texts of two kinds of spiritual materials.
"Bloodline Vine, God Burial Flower..."
Xu Xing glanced at the name of the spiritual material, nodded, and remembered it in his heart.
He understood that these two spiritual materials should be the main materials for refining the two secret medicines, the Explosive Blood Pill and the God-Enhancing Pill.
As for the auxiliary materials, Fairy Caiyun would not buy them from him in order to protect the secret medicine recipe.
"If you have time, Senior Chang can come and sit at my place..."
"After all, we have been neighbors for hundreds of years."
Before leaving, Fairy Caiyun bowed to Xu Xing, pursed her lips and smiled.
…
…
Two years later, the last shop reserved by Xu Xing was also rented by a monk.
This monk's name is Ye Yan. He is from the Qianhuo Sect. He is not in the Yuanying realm, but is just a Taoist True Lord.
After this, Xu Xing also learned from Ye Yan that in the past ten years, Demon Island has been selling demon descendants at major auctions and trade fairs of the human race, with a total of hundreds of them.
These descendants of the demon clan are not pure-blooded descendants of the demon king, but just some third-level bloodline demon beasts.
By contracting with these third-level bloodline monsters, the monks are eligible to go to the Demon Island and enter the Louhai Secret Realm.
"These demon saints on Demon Island really know how to do business..."
Hearing this, Xu Xing secretly smacked his lips, admiring the demon clan's business talent.
This time of hunger marketing, the demon clan doesn’t know how much wealth it can take away from the human race.
The price paid was only a secret realm that had been explored by the demon clan.
To the Monster Clan, the Secret Realm of Lou Hai is nothing more than a useless waste that is a pity to abandon.
There is no time to practice.
In the fifteenth year after the opening of Wushanfang City, some spatial fluctuations gradually appeared over Yaodao Island, and the sea surface suspended in the air appeared in the eastern sky.
On the sea surface, there are many pavilions, Yaohuaqicao, and many rare birds and animals coming and going.
"Is this the secret realm of Lou Hai?"
Xu Xing, who was staying at Tiande's pawnshop, raised his head, revealed his consciousness outside the room, and looked at the scene carefully.
There is still some time before the Louhai secret realm is opened.
The specific time has not been announced by Demon Island, but according to human monks’ predictions, it will be within these twenty years.
Therefore, Xu Xing estimated that the appearance of Louhai Secret Realm at this moment is just a marketing method used by the demon tribe to attract human monks.
"Ao Yuniang, is there any record of this secret realm of Louhai in ancient times?"
Xu Xing raised his hand, intercepted the image and a breath of the Louhai Secret Realm, and injected it into the scroll suspended in the air.
From time to time, the residual soul of Ao Yu Niang floated out, nodded slightly and said: "Several decades ago, Fellow Daoist Xu asked me where this Louhai Secret Realm was, and I was not sure, but now, I dare to be sure that this Louhai Secret Realm should be the Xiaohai Dragon Palace in ancient times."
"Xiaohai Dragon King is my uncle. After all these years, it seems that Xiaohai Dragon Palace has also disappeared in history."
She sighed and said.
"Oh? From what you said, if this Louhai Secret Realm is Xiaohai Dragon Palace, then the Dragon Ancestor's remains in the Dragon Palace are the remains of your uncle Xiaohai Dragon King?"
Xu Xing said in surprise.
"It could be the remains of my uncle, or it could be the remains of my uncle's third prince. The third prince of Xiaohai was also famous in ancient times and was considered to be a banished immortal..."
Ao Yu Niang shook her head and told another historical story about Xiaohai Dragon Palace.
There are talented people in every generation.
The dragons in Dragon Palace are not all corpse-keepers with little achievements. Every period of time, there are dragon prodigies born.
The third prince of Xiaohai was the dragon prodigy of that year. He became famous in the world and joined the Rebirth Immortal Gate, one of the ten great immortal gates.
"According to my observation, the breath of the dragons in this Louhai Secret Realm is still strong. These monsters should not have taken out the remains of the dragon ancestors. If I go in, I have a 60% chance of taking out the remains for Brother Xu..."
Ao Yu Niang said again.
Since she came to the Louhai Secret Realm, she believed that Xu Xing should want to do more than just business.
"The Louhai Secret Realm is under the watchful eyes of the Demon Saint. It is too dangerous. It is easy to take the Dragon Ancestor's remains, but it is not easy to take them away..."
"Let's wait and see. When the right time comes, you and I will enter the Louhai Secret Realm."
Xu Xing shook his head and told his plan.
He has the strength to fight against the Yuansheng God.
But if there are more Yuansheng Gods, he cannot be sure to get out of it with his cultivation alone.
It is enough to take risks once.
If you do it more, you will die.
In addition, he does not know what benefits the Dragon Ancestor's remains can bring to him. It is not a wise move to waste his accumulation over the years and make enemies in order to seize an unknown object.
If he offends the Feiyu Fairy Palace in Donghuangzhou, he can still hide in Nanyanzhou.
But if he offends the Demon Saint in Nanyanzhou, where can he hide?
"Xu Daoyou, be cautious." Ao Yu Niang praised, glanced at Xu Xing, and returned to the scroll.
At this moment
A powerful voice came from outside the shop: "Eighteen years later, the Louhai Secret Realm will be opened. Those who have made a contract with our demon descendants can enter the secret realm."
The voice fell.
Various colors of escape lights kept lighting up over the demon island and went to various places.
"Eighteen years later?"
After hearing this time, Xu Xing thought for a moment, came to the neighboring shop, and wrote the four big characters "Tian De Zhen Pu" on the plaque.
