Chapter 76 Xianfan
Lou Wuchen searched his last memory of Xiaobai in his mind. Yun Xingxi was not interested in this topic or because he was uncomfortable, so he listened for a while and then he supported his cheek with his hands and took a nap. Seeing this, Lou Wuchen asked the old shopkeeper for two blankets, carried Yun Xingxi's slender body to the side and lie down, and gently covered her with a blanket.
Then Lou Wuchen returned to the table, mixed with some trivial matters heard elsewhere, forming a general "experience of a new monk in the Heavenly Palace", and then said it roughly to the old shopkeeper with a white beard. However, even such a barren message made the old shopkeeper feel very comforted, and a crystal light flashed in his eyes: "...Is that so good, that's good..."
Lou Wuchen couldn't help but wonder: "Has Xiaobai never contacted you?"
The old shopkeeper looked absent, and then said with a little bitterness: "...Yes, the young master has not heard from him since he went to the Heavenly Palace..."
Listening to the old shopkeeper's narration, Lou Wuchen roughly understood what was going on.
The Wei family, who started out with the jade business, was a merchant family that had a great influence in several nearby cities - of course, it was just a merchant family. Without the support of force, simple wealth was just a coveted fat. In this world where immortals had vast power, the city lords from all over the world who came to the door had almost absolute dominance over the mortals. Although - or rather, it was because most of the city lords were not very interested in this, those servants who depended on the city lords and bathed in some of the city lords' authority and served the city lords became the essential dominance of various places.
Fortunately, the head of the Wei family was quite skillful and courageous, and gave up most of the family's income to take care of him, so he opened up a situation in the cracks between several forces - a hen that could only persist in laying eggs was still more attractive than a simple pot of chicken.
However, this is only temporary. When the Wei family accidentally discovered some kind of jade that could speed up the practice of monks before foundation building, the Wei family, which was just a merchant family, was in an unprecedented crisis - this was not something they could bear, and even if they offered this kind of thing, it would never mean safety.
Fortunately, at this time, the young master of the Wei family, Wei Shaobai, was found to have a very excellent talent for cultivation in the test of Xiagu, and had a high probability of successfully building the foundation, which stopped the eye of the Wei family. After all, no one at this level was willing to take the risk of a future foundation-building monk. Although foundation-building is just a member of the ordinary people to the door, for these mortal forces, they are the first-class people who are regarded as gods and the city lord!
The head of the Wei family seized this opportunity and bet on Wei Shaobai with all his treasures. If he succeeded in building the foundation, the Wei family could transform into sitting on the table.
The group of people who cut their flesh. The jade that could accelerate their practice was also given to Wei Shaobai and asked him to make friends with students in the valley who were also qualified to practice - although Xiaobai seemed to have misunderstood something...
But in short, Wei Shaobai successfully built the foundation and entered the door, which brought unprecedented surprises and infinite dreams for the future to the Wei family, however-
"After Xiaobai who came to the door, no news has been passed back?"
The old shopkeeper nodded silently.
"At the beginning, we thought that the young master had just arrived at the Heavenly Palace and had not settled down yet, but a month passed, two months passed, three months passed... and even half a year passed, and there was no news from the young master."
The old shopkeeper said that the immortal chief who was riding the Tianzhou - Lou Wuchen thought that it was probably the flying boat - was willing to help send some letters, but after several times, he never paid attention to Wei's house again.
Wei Shaobai's loss of contact made the Wei family panic. They didn't know what happened to Wei Shaobai, was that his practice was delayed? He encountered difficulties? Even... something happened?
The coveted eyes that had been restrained gradually turned on the Wei family again. Rumors about "the new foundation-building monks of the Wei family have abandoned the Wei family, or fell in the Heavenly Palace have surged in a small area. The reason why the Wei family can produce a foundation-building monk is relying on the magical jade that has stimulated the hearts of many people. Helplessly, the head of the Wei family made the decision to remove all peripheral personnel and assets and return to the relatively stable Shuangran City.
The old shopkeeper came to Lanhu City to carry out this task of clearing and withdrawing.
Listening to the old shopkeeper's narration, Lou Wuchen began to regret his initial rashness and perfunctory behavior - how should I explain Xiaobai's current situation now?
After all, what happened there?
Lou Wuchen was having a headache, but suddenly heard a familiar shout from a guy coming downstairs: "This guest official, don't we here - hey guest official, wait, you can't enter, can't enter!"
The old shopkeeper turned his head when he heard the sound, then turned around and bowed apologetically to Lou Wuchen, then stood up and walked downstairs. Lou Wuchen had planned to go down to take a look, but he stopped getting up when he saw this. He took a sip of tea and frowned slightly and thought about something.
The old shopkeeper lifted his lower collar and bowed slightly. He took a hurry and walked down the stairs. He saw the young man at the door as if he was being pushed by an invisible force and rushed straight into the door.
With a "bang", the guy's thin back hit a thick display cabinet. Under the violent impact, the old shopkeeper had told countless times that he must take the jade Ruyi, who was carefully wiped, and the jade tiger carved vividly and vividly. Five or six precious jade artifacts on the display cabinet fell to the ground with a "bang" sound, but
The old shopkeeper did not ask the old shopkeeper to take a look. The old shopkeeper hurriedly helped the young man with blood on the corner of his mouth, quickly checked his physical condition, then raised his head and said to the figures who came in the door:
"Several immortals came here, and the shop was not well received. The servants were foolish and ran into the distinguished guests. They were really frightened... The old man would clean up now so that the immortals would not be dirty."
After the old shopkeeper said that, he carefully picked up the clerk and prepared to walk into the inner room, but was stopped by the few people who walked into the door: "It's okay. Stop, let me ask you - the psychic jade, do you have it in this shop?"
The person speaking was a man in his long gown in his thirties. He had a thin face and two fluttering beards with a look of arrogance in his eyes, but he showed a bit of soft pampering from time to time, looking to the right side - his right hand was holding a girl in his early teens. The girl was wearing a delicate and gorgeous green skirt, and her unopened little face was vaguely similar to that of a man, and was exchanging eyes with a little hesitation on the man and the guy in the distance.
"Dad, my mother said that it's not good to hit someone."
"Good girl, my father didn't hit someone, just pushed him gently, blaming him for being weak and falling, so the good girl needs to practice hard, do you know?"
The girl twisted her brows, as if she wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, so she could only pinch the man's hand and shrink her body back.
"Brother Zhang is really..." Another man in black robe next to him said in a rather emotional tone, "I love my daughter deeply."
"Ah..." The man in the long-dressed shirt sighed, "Brother Sun, you laughed. Back then, I was just a down-and-out businessman. I met Qing'er's mother by chance. I had the honor of inheriting her affection and becoming a Taoist couple in my life. Then I embarked on the path of immortality. It's a pity that the path of immortality is impermanent. Qing'er's mother--Ah, my thoughts are only on Qing'er, I just hope that she can achieve success in her practice and not be killed by disasters and killings."
The man turned his head, raised his voice eight degrees, and looked at the old shopkeeper again: "So, I heard that there were treasures such as spiritual jade in the Wei family's shop, so I rushed over several big cities in a row - shopkeeper, although I am a good person, I will never let go of things related to my Qing'er's cultivation, so I don't... disappoint me!"
The old shopkeeper pursed his lips, and the loss of control made his lips turn a little white. The actions of these cultivators formed a sharp contrast in his heart with Lou Wuchen's kindness, but he knew that this was the normal attitude of an immortal - a cultivator to treat mortals.
If the immortals, the old shopkeeper suppressed his involuntary thoughts and quickly organized the language. He was about to speak, but suddenly heard a voice that made him faintly excited:
