Chapter 613: Unexpected Fortune

"Old Man Tan?" After activating the Beidou Sinan Plate and getting in touch with old man Tan, Xiao Mian didn't hesitate and asked directly: "The "True Vacuum Shadowless Dao" you taught Long'er was stolen from the secret book of the Vacuum Dao of a large sect in Huaxia?"

"Steal? Why do you say it so harshly? The old man back then..."

"The jade slip engraved with "True Vacuum Shadowless Dao" was auctioned off by Qi Jingyuan, a contemporary disciple of the Vacuum Dao, at a sky-high price of 2.5 million middle spirits!"

"What...what!?"

"Didn't you instruct? Ask that brat!"

The "brat" Xiao Mian was referring to was naturally Huo Long'er.

In just a moment, the truth came to light.

It turned out that Huo Long'er had been keeping an eye on the book after witnessing Xiao Mian exchange the "Ten Heart Sutras of Great Compassion and Great Mercy" for the "True Vacuum Shadowless Dao" that day.

After that, Huo Longer asked around and finally figured out that the "True Vacuum Shadowless Dao" he practiced was actually the secret book of the True Vacuum Dao.

After learning the news, Huo Longer was not overjoyed, but was depressed - Damn it! I risked my life to steal the storage bags of those Jindan monks, but in the end, how many spirit stones did I steal? It's just a way to make ends meet!

If I sell this "True Vacuum Shadowless Dao"...

Once this idea came to my mind, it would be hard to stop.

Fortunately, Huo Longer was a smart kid.

After asking around, Huo Longer chose the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, which was said to be honest.

That's how the auction ended!

That's how Qi Jingyuan made a desperate bet!

That's how the sky-high price of 2.5 million middle spirits came to be!

"A disciple of the Zhenkong Dao actually came to Xianyang City?" After learning the whole story, Old Man Tan did not blame Huo Long'er too much, but instead said to himself: "A third-level cultivator, is he here for Zulongju? Or is he here for me, an old man?"

"..., Old Man Tan, how many people did you steal from?"

"This..., hard to say! Hard to say!"

"Anyway, you should be careful these days, especially that bastard, don't act rashly. It's a small matter for you to be caught, but it's a big deal if your sister is implicated!" Xiao Mian naturally knew where Huo Long'er's weakness was, but as soon as he said this, Huo Long'er protested loudly: "Two and a half million middle spirits! Aren't you going to get them?"

"This..."

Xiao Mian heard this and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Two and a half million middle spirits, even if Xiao Mian has been practicing Taoism so far, and has been robbing and stealing, he still hasn't accumulated so many middle spirits. This attraction is really great!

"Excluding 10% of the agency fee, you can get 2.25 million middle spirits, 2 million belongs to me, and the rest belongs to you. I will take you to Wanbao Pavilion!"

"You! Are you robbing?"

"If you agree, you can get 250,000 middle spirits. If you don't agree..."

"..., you are so cruel!"

Although Huo Long'er is not very old, he is very cunning.

After a little thought, he knew that under the current circumstances, as a small Qi training cultivator, he could not safely get the huge amount of spirit stones.

In desperation, Huo Long'er agreed to Xiao Mian's conditions.

Xiao Mian was not greedy for Huo Long'er's spirit stones, but to safely take out the spirit stones from Wanbao Pavilion, which was not something Xiao Mian could do alone.

Although he didn't know that Zhong Liyin had already seen some clues, due to his usual prudence and vigilance, Xiao Mian did not intend to show up in person - he wanted to play a big game, involving as many irrelevant people as possible, so as to fish in troubled waters!

After cutting off the connection with Old Man Tan, Xiao Mian did not put away the Beidou Sinan Plate. After pondering for a moment, he activated the Beidou Sinan Plate again and contacted Liu Suyi.

"Oh? The night is long, Brother Xiao, have you finally remembered me?"

"Miss Suyi, you should stay pure for Mr. Hua!" Xiao Mian perfunctorily answered Liu Suyi, and then changed the subject: "What does Yu Wushuang want with the Huangyang Wood?"

"I still want to ask Brother Xiao! What do you want with the Huangyang Wood?"

"I want to use it to refine the flying sword again! What about Yu Wushuang?"

"She? Humph! I'm just trying to please her and flatter her!" Then, Liu Suyi explained Ding Wenquan's identity and ability. Xiao Mian remained calm and asked at the end: "When did this Ding Wenquan join your Zhishan Sect?"

"This..., it seems to be more than ten years ago! How? Brother Xiao knows him?"

"How is it possible! He can stay in Tianyu Peak for more than ten years. I think he also has something to ask for, right?"

"It is said that Senior Ding is I am the most beautiful woman in the world, the most beautiful woman in the world!"

"Is this true?" Xiao Mian was so surprised that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. At this time, Liu Suyi asked angrily, "How do you plan to deal with Yu Wushuang, brother?"

"It is extremely difficult to plot against Yu Wushuang, let alone to trip her up? But since she wants something, she has weaknesses! Miss Suyi, you should learn more from the sentimental gentleman on this point..."

"You mean, the ivory?"

"Any conspiracy will not work against someone like Yu Wushuang. Instead of plotting conspiracies and intrigues, it is better to be open and aboveboard and do the open conspiracy! Doesn't she want something from Ding Wenquan? Doesn't she want the Ningshen Pill? As the saying goes, if you don't have desires, you will be strong. As long as she wants something, she will have weaknesses - just like the ivory!"

"But Senior Ding has been living in seclusion on weekdays. This time he showed up after hearing that there would be a seventh-level wood-attribute spiritual material at the auction. Normally, it would not be easy for Su Yi to see him, even if How should we strike up a conversation if we see him?"

"Every monk must have some good things - such as famous swords for sword cultivators, spiritual wine for drunkards, and beautiful women for perverts. I have a top-quality spiritual plant here!"

"When does Brother Xiao plan to take action?"

"No rush! Let Huamancheng and I discuss it and find a solution!"

"Okay! Su Yi is waiting for good news..."

At that moment, Xiao Mian hung up the contact with Liu Suyi, and then put away Beidou Si Nanpan, without contacting Huamancheng or Guihai.

The top priority was not to deal with Yu Wushuang, but to get the 2.5 million pieces of spirit. The reason why he contacted Liu Suyi was just to confirm something.

For example, that spiritual farmer in the Nascent Soul Realm—Ding Wenquan!

As early as during the daytime auction and when he met the Nascent Soul Spirit Farmer, Xiao Mian was filled with doubts. Now, he learned from Liu Suyi that the man's name was Ding Wenquan and that he came to Xianyang more than ten years ago. Xiao Mian has almost made plans for the foreign monks in the city.

This Ding Wenquan is most likely the father of Ding Kaishan!

If this is true, it is nothing less than good news for Xiao Mian!

Just listening to what Liu Suyi said, Ding Wenquan, even in the Supreme Good Sect, was reclusive and obsessed with modifying the compatibility of the Concentrating Pill. Even Liu Suyi was not able to get in touch with Ding Wenquan so easily. It's even harder for Xiao Mian, an outsider.

Xiao Mian was not in a hurry. He chuckled and meditated peacefully.

A night of nothing, a night of nothing.

Early the next morning, Xiao Mian walked out of the recruitment hall.

Seemingly strolling attentively, Xiao Mian calmly waited for the carriage and headed straight towards Nan Qin Mansion.

When we arrived at Nan Qin Mansion, we went straight to Wanbao Pavilion.

Wanbao Pavilion, as the residence of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce in Xianyang City, is itself a rare treasure gathering place. Of course, Xiao Mian didn't come here to buy any treasures, nor did he come to rashly receive the huge amount of spiritual stones, but to cast stones and ask for directions.

When he arrived at the entrance of Wanbao Pavilion, Xiao Mian was hesitant.

But it turned out that just after Xiao Mian walked out of the recruitment hall, he felt that someone was secretly following him. After that, Xiao Mian went around in circles, but the man never gave up.

This made Xiao Mian, who was planning to enter the Wanbao Pavilion, hesitant - could it be that someone had connected the huge amount of spiritual stones to himself through clues?

Or is he being targeted because of something else?

No matter what, Xiao Mian had to be more careful.

Just when Xiao Mian decided to pass through Wanbao Pavilion without entering, he was stopped by someone.

"This fellow Taoist! I have a jar of good medicinal liquid spirit wine here. Do you want it?" Xiao Mian was stunned when he heard this. He followed the sound and saw a monk of the first level of Jindan sitting in the open space at the entrance of Wanbao Pavilion. , sitting on the ground, selling some sundries - but it turns out that Wanbao Pavilion has a good reputation, and many casual cultivators will set up stalls at the entrance of Wanbao Pavilion. Staring at the stall owner closely, Xiao Mian asked: "Medicinal liquid spirit wine? I just don't know what kind of spiritual wine your friend's medicinal liquid spirit wine is based on. If it's too bad, just skip it!"

"Haha..., my medicinal liquid spirit wine is based on Zui Linglong, known as the 'Jade Liquid' among the fifth-level spirit wines!"

"Drunken Linglong? You can barely make do with it! I wonder what can be used to reconcile it?"

"Tianluo Shui, Digen Spring, and Centennial Ginseng Essence!"

"Not bad! Not bad! I just wonder if the wine smells good?"

"Smells! Of course it smells good! The aroma of wine floats thousands of miles, straight into Nanyue Prefecture!"

"Okay! Someone Xiao wants this jar of medicinal liquid and spirit wine. Please give me a price!"

"Fellow Taoist is really happy! One price - 10,000 souls!"

"make a deal!"

After flipping through it, Xiao Mian found a storage bag in his hand. He weighed it and threw it to the stall owner. The stall owner took the storage bag and was stunned for a moment, then nodded with satisfaction.

At this point, the payment has been cleared.

After getting the jar of medicinal liquid and spirit wine, Xiao Mian turned around and left without even looking at the Wanbao Pavilion.

Within a moment, Zhong Liyin strolled to the pavement.

"What did that man just buy from you?"

"A jar of medicinal liquid spirit wine!" He raised his eyes and glanced at Zhong Liyin. The golden elixir junior monk licked his face and started to promote enthusiastically: "I'm not bragging! My medicinal liquid spirit wine is the so-called fifth-level spiritual wine." Yuye's exquisite drunkenness is continuously diluted and blended with three kinds of spiritual liquids: Tianluoshui, Digenquan and century-old ginseng essence. Men who drink it can strengthen their vitality and strengthen their yang, and women who drink it can maintain their beauty and maintain their beauty. The end is... …”

"Shut up!"

With a soft drink, there was a hint of thunder.

Zhong Liyin glanced at the stall owner again and found no flaws.

Turning around, Zhong Liyin looked at the gate of Wanbao Pavilion, thoughtfully...
