Chapter 1038: Loss-Making Business
That day, without any warning, Kong Yuanren returned to the Xuanwei Cave Secret Realm.
Xiao Mian thought Kong Yuanren had returned from escaping, but when he saw Kong Yuanren's calm face, he was slightly relieved.
It turned out that Kong Yuanren came back this time to send a message.
Kong Yuanren brought back two pieces of news: First, the Lei Peng Demon Mansion will be opened in a month, and at that time, cultivators with Lei Peng Demon Feathers can bring up to eight people into the Lei Peng Demon Mansion to find their own opportunities; second, the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce is looking for Xiao Mian.
Leaving the matter of the Lei Peng Demon Mansion behind, Xiao Mian left the Xuanwei Cave Secret Realm and contacted Xie Ying.
"Brother! I heard you were looking for me?"
"..., you kid! Are you not dead yet?" Xie Ying's tone was unfriendly. Obviously, he had spent a lot of energy to contact Xiao Mian. Xiao Mian was about to laugh, but Xie Ying continued: "Lingfeng and sister-in-law have returned from West Kunlun!"
"Oh? The blood of the Danfeng..."
"It's already been obtained! The little monk said that day: Even if Lingfeng got the blood of the Danfeng, he would not dare to merge it easily. He must find you first! But you kid..."
After saying this, Xie Ying was about to get angry again.
Xiao Mian was stunned when he heard this, and roughly calculated: Eight years have passed since Jin Weili and Xie Lingfeng went to West Kunlun to find the blood of the Danfeng.
Calculated in this way, Xie Lingfeng is almost 30 years old!
No wonder this fat fox is so anxious to find me.
But it's not right!
I gave the Beidou Sinan Plate to Kong Yuanren because I was afraid of this situation, so that he would not be unable to find me in an emergency like Xie Ying.
If Xie Ying was really so anxious to find him, how could Kong Yuanren delay the matter?
Humph!
Eighty percent - no! Ten percent that this fat fox was deceiving him!
I'm afraid that Jin Weili and his group had just returned to Chu County, and Xie Ying had just remembered to look for him, and Kong Yuanren rushed back to the Xuanwei Cave Secret Realm.
He just wanted to make me feel guilty and then let him manipulate me.
This fat guy - he forgot about the matchmaker after marrying a wife!
With a turn of his eyes, Xiao Mian teleported his location to Xie Ying. Although Xie Ying was hateful, Xie Lingfeng was innocent after all, so Xiao Mian would naturally not delay the important matter.
After that, Xiao Mian returned to the Xuanwei Cave Secret Realm again.
The Lei Peng Demon Mansion will be opened in a month, and it does not require the cultivator to be in a specific location. At that time, Lei Peng Yaoyu will open a small teleportation array that directly enters the Lei Peng Demon Mansion. As long as the cultivator enters it, he can enter the Lei Peng Demon Mansion.
But since they got this news, Xiao Mian and others' idyllic cultivation life was broken.
It's time to prepare...
After that, Xiao Mian woke up everyone who was in seclusion one by one.
After these years of hard practice, although everyone's realm has not been broken through, everyone has gained a lot, and their combat power has been improved a lot.
Let's talk about Xuancao, who is practicing "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Sword Art".
With the joint efforts of Guitou and Qingjing, one hundred primary magic flying swords have been made, but ten intermediate magic flying swords and one high-level magic flying sword have not yet started to be refined - intermediate magic weapons are not so easy to refine after all!
On the contrary, Lingxi Tail Feathers were all re-refined into primary magic weapons by Guitou.
Guitou even wanted to re-refine the Beidou Si Nan Pan. If it can be upgraded to the intermediate magic weapon level, the number of stars that can be used will be increased.
Unfortunately, the Beidou Si Nan Pan was taken away by Kong Yuanren, so Guitou had to give up.
Even so, Xuancao was able to barely set up the "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Sword Formation".
It was no problem to deal with ordinary high-level Jindan cultivators.
Besides, the little white bird still showed no signs of waking up.
This surprised Xiao Mian. Could it be that demon cultivators also have enlightenment?
If so, then the opportunity of this little white bird is really deep...
Since the little white bird did not come out of retreat, Xiao Mian did not disturb it. After all, a little white bird that had just entered the cultivation stage was useless to Xiao Mian now.
It would be better to leave it in Xuanwei Cave and lay a good foundation for the future.
For the same or similar purpose, Liu Zhigang, Hu Sheng, Tan Daoji, Chu Xingxuan and others were all left in the secret realm of Xuanwei Cave by Xiao Mian.
At this time, Chu Xingxuan successfully built a foundation again.
It is worth mentioning that the girl also built a super-level foundation this time!
Until this time, Chu Xingxuan had some understanding of Xiao Mian's painstaking efforts.
In addition to practicing, Chu Xingxuan began to review the various knowledge she had learned in Feitian Sect, hoping to build a flying boat as Xiao Mian wished.
However, Chu Xingxuan's status in Feitian Sect was too low, and her cultivation was too low, so she could not touch the too profound knowledge level at all, so that she was willing but unable to do it.
In the end, it was Xiao Mian who persuaded her that there was a long time to come.
Before leaving the Xuanwei Cave Secret Realm, Xiao Mian asked everyone to explore the ancient well one by one. Gui Hai, Yin Jiansheng and others found nothing, but Kong Yuanren got something.
What Kong Yuanren got was a document called "Nine Hills".
When Xiao Mian saw it, his eyebrows moved.
This "Nine Hills" seemed to be the same as the "Five Classics" that the scholar gave him at the beginning, and it was called the four ancient wonders together with "Three Tombs" and "Eight Ropes"!
In this way, Kong Yuanren is not useless.
At this point, Xiao Mian also realized that this ancient well secret book had nothing to do with the cultivator's realm and strength, but was somewhat related to the cultivator's character and understanding...
Finally, Xiao Mian took Gui Hai, Yin Jiansheng, Jing Chu, Kong Yuanren and Tuoba Lan and left Xuanwei Cave Secret Realm, but left Xuancao there temporarily.
Xiao Mian even gave Xuancao the guest seat for entering and exiting Xuanwei Cave Secret Realm, so that if he had any misfortune in Lei Peng Demon Mansion, everyone would not be trapped to death in Xuanwei Cave.
Anyway, Xiao Mian and others each had a stool, and they were free and easy.
Leaving Xuanwei Cave meant that everyone would enter the cultivation world that made people look forward to and daunt them again...
The people who had changed their appearance wandered around Yanshi City, and what they heard most was about the whereabouts of Lei Peng Demon Mansion and eight pieces of Lei Peng Demon Feathers.
It is said that each piece of Lei Peng Demon Feather can bring eight cultivators into Lei Peng Demon Mansion.
Therefore, everyone asked who had the Thunder Peng Demon Feather, and wanted to ask him if there were enough people. If not, could he take one with him...
However, in this troubled time, the cultivators who had the Thunder Peng Demon Feather were afraid of being guilty of possessing a treasure. Who would be stupid enough to shout that he had the Thunder Peng Demon Feather all over the street?
Even if there was a Thunder Peng Demon Feather, who would bring a stranger into the Thunder Peng Demon Mansion?
After all, in a secret place like the Thunder Peng Demon Mansion, the benefits that can be obtained are also certain. If there are more people, wouldn’t the benefits be less?
No one is stupid, but at this time, a piece of news spread throughout the Yin Shang Realm.
Lei Zhen Palace, which alone has three Thunder Peng Demon Feathers, can allow 24 Thunder Spiritual Root Jindan cultivators to enter the Thunder Peng Demon Mansion - the problem is: Lei Zhen Palace does not have so many people!
So, Lei Zhen Palace plans to hold a selection competition.
The cultivators who participated in the selection competition had to meet three conditions: First, they must be native cultivators of the Yinshang Realm. The demon cultivators from the Northern Weizhou, Buddhist cultivators from the Western Shuzhou, and the Eastern Wuzhou from the Southern Yuezhou were all out of the question; second, they must be cultivators with thunder spirit roots; third, they must be Jindan cultivators.
As soon as this news came out, the thunder attribute Jindan cultivators of the entire Leizhen Palace moved in a storm, and all of them gathered their strength and rushed to the Leizhen Palace.
After hearing this news, Xiao Mian came up with a plan.
You have your selection competition, and I have my entry fee!
At that moment, in Yanshi City, Xiao Mian appeared in his true form and dropped a heavy thunder bead to the cultivation world that had almost forgotten him, Nanyue Xiao Mian!
Xiao Mian - intends to auction the quota to enter the Leipeng Demon Mansion!
Compared with the selection competition with three conditions in the Leizhen Palace, Xiao Mian has only one condition: that is, enough spirit stones to make him tempted!
As long as you can afford the price, Xiao Mian doesn't mind even if you are a cat or a dog.
Xiao Mian and Gui Hai each had a Thunder Peng Demon Feather, which could bring sixteen people into the Thunder Peng Demon Mansion. Including his own six people, he still had ten vacancies.
What Xiao Mian didn't expect was that when the news came out, the first person to contact him was not someone else, but the blind monk Chan Yin from Xishuzhou!
As soon as Chan Yin opened his mouth, he wanted to buy four places. After Xiao Mian asked, he learned that the young nun Miao Shan had completed a new round of nirvana and successfully came out of retreat.
Obviously, these four places were for the three Buddhists and Miao Shan.
Xiao Mian didn't refuse immediately, but he didn't agree at once.
Following closely was Fu Xigui, who contacted Xiao Mian through the Lingxi tail feather. Xiao Mian agreed to this Xiji sword cultivator without asking for a penny.
Then, Ye Piao Ling also came to him through Gui Hai.
Thinking back to the day in Xianyang City, Ye Piaoling had saved his life. Zulong Juzhong had also saved Guihai. Besides, Guihai and Ye Piaoling had a life-and-death friendship. Xiao Mian gritted his teeth and gave away two more places - one for Ye Piaoling and the other for Zi Yi Hou.
Then, even Hua Mancheng, the playboy, came to him in a roundabout way.
"Doesn't the Wang family, one of the four great families in Qin County, have a Thunder Peng Demon Feather? With your status as a sentimental young man, you won't be selected, right?"
"Brother Xiao, you don't know! The Wang family has a Thunder Peng Demon Feather, but the Wang family alone occupies three places. The remaining five places are too many to be filled!"
"No matter how little the porridge is, you must have a share!"
"There is another disciple in my Seven Emotions Demon Palace, named Jiang Ruowang. He happens to have a thunder attribute spiritual root, so the sect decided to give him the only place first!"
"Hmph! I think it's Jiang Ruowang who doesn't know me, Xiao Mian, but you do!"
"Brother Xiao! Isn't it enough for Hua to pay for the spirit stone?"
"..., come on! Considering your excellent performance under the big locust tree last time, I decided to take you to the Thunder Peng Demon Mansion for free!"
"I knew it: Brother Xiao, you are righteous!"
In this way, Xiao Mian's vacancies were reduced to two!
This world!
Ideals are always full, but reality is very skinny...
Xiao Mian was sighing like this when Xie Ying came to him.
For a place to enter the Lei Peng Demon Mansion.
"Hey! I believe that others don't have a Lei Peng demon feather, but your Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce doesn't have one? Brother! If you don't tell me the truth, hum hum..."
"I'm afraid of you! My Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce does have a Lei Peng demon feather, but the only one who is qualified and capable to enter the Lei Peng Demon Mansion in the entire Chamber of Commerce is my uncle-in-law. It's not worth wasting a Lei Peng demon feather for her alone!"
The "uncle-in-law" Xie Ying mentioned was naturally Jin Weili.
Although Jin Weili was not a thunder attribute spiritual root, he was a half-demon with the blood of the Golden Winged Dapeng. Lei Peng was also a Dapeng, so naturally there was some origin.
"So, your Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, could it be that you sold the Lei Peng Demonic Feather to Lei Zhen Palace?" During Xie Ying's silence, Xiao Mian was furious: "I said Lei Zhen Palace How come there are three Lei Peng Fei Yu? Are you trying to help others? Oh, you sold your own Lei Peng Fei Fei and gave it to me, brother! It’s not kind of you to do this! Unfair! I despise you!”
"What's the big deal, one-eighth of the proceeds from selling the Lei Peng Demon Feather will go to you?"
"one eighth?"
"Quarter!"
"A quarter?"
"……,half!"
"Half!" With a curl of his lips, Xiao reluctantly held back his smile and asked, "How much is half?"
"Fifty million souls!"
"How much...how much?"
"Fifty million souls! That Lei Peng Demonic Feather was only sold for ten million souls!"
"Brother! You are really my brother! Why didn't you tell me earlier? Damn it! This time the loss is huge... One Lei Peng Demon Feather has 10,000,000 souls, and one-eighth of it is 1,250. How many f*cking places did I give out for one hundred thousand souls? What a huge loss!"
Xiao Mian, who was originally happy, could not even cry anymore...
Wait a minute!
It seems that I still have one spot in my hand that I haven’t given away yet.
One spot!
The last spot!
No matter who comes this time, I will give it to you for free!
No matter what, I have to make back all the losses I lost before!
At this time, Xiao Mian's eyes were shining, and his eyes were full of spiritual stones!
Just as he was thinking this, a person appeared in front of Xiao Mian.
A female cultivator, a female cultivator that Xiao Mian had met before.
But Xiao Mian never expected to see her again under such circumstances...
