Chapter 614: Stealing a Dragon and Switching It to a Phoenix

At dusk, Xiao Mian returned to the Hall of Recruiting Talents.

After going out for a day and wandering around, Xiao Mian had nothing to gain except bringing back a jar of medicinal liquid spirit wine, but even so, Xiao Mian was still satisfied.

What a coincidence!

I didn't expect to meet that fat guy Xie here!

Although the Jindan primary-level stall owner who sold the medicinal liquid spirit wine to Xiao Mian before was not a fat guy, nor was he Xie Ying's face, but through various tests surrounding the medicinal liquid spirit wine, Xiao Mian was sure that the unprepossessing stall owner must be Xie Ying himself!

Opening the jar of medicinal liquid spirit wine, Xiao Mian suddenly took a sip.

Thinking back to the time when he first drank this medicinal liquid spirit wine in Lingchuan Market, he was just a small cultivator of the eighth level of Qi training, and he had made some jokes.

After more than ten years, he, Xiao Mian, was also a dignified Jindan strongman...

However, Lu Chengfeng died at his hands, and Fu Qingqiong was far away in Nanyuezhou.

After swallowing the medicinal liquor in his mouth, Xiao Mian, who once made a fool of himself, now tasted it as impure and not strong enough.

As his wealth increased, Xiao Mian often drank fifth-grade spiritual liquor, and even sixth-grade spiritual liquor. This watered-down Zui Linglong certainly didn't taste good enough.

Suppressing his thoughts, Xiao Mian took out the Beidou Si Nan Pan.

There was nothing wrong with the 10,000 middle-grade spiritual stones used as wine money, but the storage bag contained a little starlight that Xiao Mian had given away. Of course, to outsiders, it didn't look strange, which was why Xie Ying was a little surprised when he took over the storage bag.

Now that the Beidou Si Nan Pan was activated, Xiao Mian contacted Xie Ying.

"Xie, you are in a really good mood!"

"You are wronging me! Do you think I am full and have nothing to do, so I set up a stall in front of my own business to attract business?"

"What? Could it be that you are waiting for me?"

"Not entirely, but it is not without intention. At the auction yesterday, you showed up and confronted Ding Wenquan, and I saw it all. If not, I would not know that you are the 'Tiandu City cultivator' that is widely rumored in Xianyang City! You are really bold! How dare you do such a thing to deceive the world!"

What Xie Ying meant by "bold" was not only that Xiao Mian dared to contradict Ding Wenquan, the Yuanying ancestor, in public, but also that it was related to the Tiandu City cultivator.

Xie Ying, after all, was one of the very few people who knew Xiao Mian's background!

"I never said I was a cultivator from Tiandu City!"

"Let's not talk about that! But it's strange, you...you were only at the eighth level of Qi training more than ten years ago, how come you have successfully formed a pill after just a few years of not seeing each other?"

"It's a long story. By the way, Sister Chi Lian should have formed a pill successfully, right?"

"..., she? That crazy woman, she formed a pill a long time ago!"

"Senior..."

"Don't call me senior! Now that you have successfully formed a pill, and your cultivation is already at the middle level of Jindan, let's call each other as fellow Taoists! Since you call that crazy woman sister, if you are polite, call me brother, if not, you can call me Fatty Xie!"

"This..., Brother Xie! I would rather obey than be respectful!"

While speaking, Xiao Mian laughed dumbly: Xie Ying and Chi Lianxia are really in trouble!

"Brother, I wonder if the seller of the "True Vacuum Shadowless Dao" that sold for a sky-high price last night went to your Wanbao Pavilion to get the 2.25 million mid-grade spirit stones?"

"This..., it involves the commercial secrets of Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce..."

"The seller who threw out the "True Vacuum Shadowless Dao" is a teenager, right? He dares to do so much with his Qi training stage, even worse than I did back then!"

"..., how do you know?"

"If I say I have his authorization and I can handle the aftermath on his behalf, is that okay?"

"No!" Xie Ying explained firmly: "It's not that Fatty doesn't give me this face, nor that I don't believe it. You, in fact, Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce has its own rules. After the robbery of Lingchuan Market, the Chamber of Commerce issued a new rule: every cultivator who comes to entrust the auction items will leave a brand image when signing the power of attorney. If the auction items are successfully auctioned, the entruster must hold the brand image and come to our Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce to handle the follow-up procedures for the delivery of spiritual stones. "

"Must come in person? There is no room for mediation?"

"No!"

"I understand!"

After listening to Xie Ying's explanation, Xiao Mian was not too discouraged. After all, he didn't expect to get the huge amount of spiritual stones so easily.

If Xie Ying really gave the spiritual stones that should have belonged to Huo Long'er to Xiao Mian because of Xiao Mian's one-sided words, it would be ridiculous.

After sorting out his thoughts, Xiao Mian spoke again.

"Then can we make an exception: let Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce keep this amount of spiritual stones, and let that brat go to the Chamber of Commerce headquarters to collect it later, how about that?"

"This..., it's not impossible!" After a pause, Xie Ying said bluntly: "But you should know that more than two million spiritual stones are not a small amount. If it is deposited in my Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce, it is fine, but the interest generated during the period..."

"What are you talking about, brother! You and I hit it off at first sight, and now we meet again in a foreign land, it is fate. I will ask you to keep the spiritual stones for me, and I will not ask for any interest. Not only that, when that brat goes to withdraw this amount of spiritual stones in the future, you only need to give him an integer, and the remaining 250,000 will be your hard work fee!"

"How can this be done?"

"Why not?" Xiao Mian interrupted Xie Ying and said sincerely: "Brother, you should also know that the origin of "The Way of the Invisible Vacuum" is not legitimate. Fortunately, the Xiangfu Chamber of Commerce is honest. If it were any other black-hearted vendor, that kid would not only get nothing, but also be eaten alive! Now that this matter has caused a lot of uproar in the city, Qi Jingyuan has suffered a lot of losses. It is possible that he will wait outside the Wanbao Pavilion all day long - spiritual stones are a small matter, but life is a big matter!"

"You are right! After you left during the day, Zhong Liyin came to find me. Although I beat him, I think they seem to have noticed you!"

"Zhong Liyin?" Wei After a moment of hesitation, Xiao Mian remembered something and said, "I heard that Zhong Liyin was rampaging in Xianyang City. It's bad that the local cultivators in Xianyang City were shaken by this evil woman. I guess the price of lacquer and gold glue from your place has been rising these days, right?"

"Lacquer and gold glue? To be honest, brother! To be honest, I have to thank this senior disciple of Lei Zhen Palace! After her commotion, the lacquer and gold glue in my Wanbao Pavilion is really popular. However, lacquer and gold glue itself is a rare spiritual herb, and even my Wanbao Pavilion doesn't have much stock. Now in Xianyang City, lacquer and gold glue is in short supply!"

"It's said that we brothers should make a fortune..."

At the moment, Xiao Mian and Xie Ying whispered to each other.

At the end, the two of them laughed at the same time...

Xiao Mian has a backlog of high-quality lacquer and gold glue, and he is worried that no one wants it. After Zhong Liyin's commotion, the rare goods are worth keeping!

After that, Xiao Mian chatted with Xie Ying for a while before cutting off the contact.

With Xie Ying keeping the spirit stones for him, Xiao Mian saved a lot of trouble.

As for whether Xie Ying would go back on his word and enrich himself, or whether there would be other changes in the middle, it was not something that Xiao Mian could be sure of now...

But I think this possibility is very small.

Not to mention that Xiao Mian had already promised to give Xie Ying 250,000 middle spirits as a reward, the annual interest generated by this amount of more than 2 million middle-grade spirit stones alone is not a small amount. If Huo Long'er does not take back the spirit stones within ten years, the interest generated is almost the same as the principal. Besides, the Beidou Si Nan Pan can not only get in touch with the cultivator holding the starlight, but also record the contact process in the Beidou Si Nan Pan. Xiao Mian does not believe that Xie Ying would be so unwise when it is profitable.

However, Xie Ying's last words made Xiao Mian frown slightly.

Zhong Liyin!

The person who followed him before was actually Zhong Liyin!

Why did this woman secretly follow him?

Wait!

Could it be because...

Xiao Mian suddenly remembered Wang Jian's 600th birthday.

At that time, under Ou Qingtan's testimony, Xiao Mian had to return a piece of Thunder Peng Demon Feather to its original owner, Ou Qingtan. Although others may not know, Xiao Mian clearly remembers that the piece he took out and returned to Ou Qingtan was not the piece from the Ou family!

It turned out that when Xiao Mian got the piece of Thunder Cloud Feather that was regarded as a sacred weapon by the Tuoba clan from the little monk, he found out the origin of the Thunder Peng Demon Feather.

There are eight pieces of Thunder Peng Demon Feather, named - Thunder Wind Feather, Thunder Cloud Feather, Thunder Flash Feather, Thunder Lightning Feather, Thunder Explosion Feather, Thunder Feather, Thunder Ming Feather and Thunder Evil Feather.

Each piece of Thunder Peng Demon Feather looks the same, but in fact it is very different.

The Tuoba clan's sacred weapon is called Thunder Cloud Feather, the Ou family's secret treasure is Thunder Flash Feather, and the piece obtained from Old Man Tan is Thunder Explosion Feather.

Although they are different, the functions of the Thunder Peng Demon Feather are the same.

If the time comes in the future, the secret vault of the Thunder Peng Demon Lord will be opened, and each piece of the Thunder Peng Demon Feather can bring eight or fewer cultivators into it to find their own opportunities.

The piece of Thunder Flash Feather of the Ou family had long been given to Gui Hai by Xiao Mian.

In other words, for Xiao Mian, one piece of Thunder Peng Demon Feather is enough.

This is also the fundamental reason why Xiao Mian easily returned a piece of Thunder Peng Demon Feather to Ou Qingtan in public in the Sanhuai Hall of the Wang family that day.

It’s just that Xiao Mian thought that Ou Qingtan should not have seen the ancestral secret treasure of his Ou family, so he planned to steal the sky and change the day, but he didn’t expect that Ou Qingtan didn’t know the goods, but someone else did!

Thinking back to the past, didn’t Zhong Liyin come into contact with the Thunder Explosion Feather?

Could it be...

Thinking of this, Xiao Mian took out the Beidou Si Nan Plate again.

After contacting Old Man Tan, Xiao Mian coerced and lured, and finally made the Nine-Fingered Thief admit that his piece of Thunder Explosion Feather was indeed stolen from the Thunder Palace that year!

Xiao Mian put away the Beidou Si Nan Pan angrily, feeling heavy-hearted.

If Lei Baoyu was stolen from Lei Zhen Palace, then "The Way of the Invisible Vacuum" was stolen from the Way of the Invisible Vacuum!

This old man and this young man are really worrying...

Xiao Mian thought that the matter of "The Way of the Invisible Vacuum" had come to an end, but now it seems that not only has the matter not been resolved, but it may have led to a bigger change!

Xiao Mian was in a heavy mood, and Zhong Liyin was not relaxed either.

In Tianxiang Tower, Zhong Liyin and the other two gathered together.

"Did Xiao Wuming not go to Wanbao Pavilion?"

"Yes! He just bought a jar of medicinal liquid spirit wine from the monk who set up a stall at the door of Wanbao Pavilion!"

"From Beisai Prefecture to Nanqin Prefecture, almost across the entire Xianyang City, but just to buy a jar of medicinal liquid spirit wine from the monk who set up a stall at the door of Wanbao Pavilion?"

"At least on the surface, that's the case!"

"What is the identity of the monk who set up a stall?"

"A very ordinary Jindan beginner!" After saying this, seeing Qi Jingyuan and Du Yuan were puzzled, Zhong Liyin said slowly: "However, I later found out from another stall owner: not long before Xiao Wuming bought that jar of spiritual wine, someone else also went to that person's stall and bought a jar of inexplicable spiritual wine!"

"Who?"

"Ye Piaoling!"

"Ye Piaoling? It turned out to be him? Could it be that he and Xiao Wuming..." Du Yuan's face changed slightly when he was halfway through speaking. Seeing Qi Jingyuan's serious expression, he continued: "If he really knows Xiao Wuming, this matter is a bit tricky!"

"Humph! So what? He is only a Jindan top-level cultivator, but he has a father with a scary name! Besides, this is Zhongzhou, not his Dongwuzhou!"

Having said that, Qi Jingyuan's expression became even gloomier...
