Chapter 120 Transaction
Just when Wei Zhong was preparing to modify the secret method, someone came from Zhigang Palace.
The visitor was Zhuang Yao, a female cultivator who was in the foundation-building stage and a disciple of Palace Master Song Linfang.
After Wei Zhong met the other party, he soon learned from her the purpose of her visit.
As Wei Zhong expected, she came because of her master's injury.
"Why didn't you see Brother Song come? Could it be?"
"My master's injury is too serious, and it has become difficult for him to travel now," Zhuang Yao said, and her face was full of sadness.
Wei Zhong didn't expect that a cultivator in the late Jindan stage would have difficulty traveling because of his injury one day.
In this case, wouldn't it be difficult for the other party to control the spiritual energy?
"Then I will go to meet Brother Song!"
Then he went to Zhigang Palace with this disciple of Zhigang Palace.
On the way, Wei Zhong asked curiously:
"Where are the other two Jindan Daoists in your palace? Why don't you see them? Instead, you, a foundation-building kid, come to find me?"
Wei Zhong's tone was calm, and he didn't mean to blame me.
But Zhuang Yao still knelt down in fear and trepidation:
"Senior Wei, please forgive me. The two elders in the palace are busy with important matters, and my master's injury can't be delayed, so I have to come forward."
Seeing her like this, Wei Zhong flicked his sleeves and a ball of spiritual energy helped her up.
"Stand up and talk. I don't mean to blame you. I just want to know the details of your Zhigang Palace. Don't offend some rats in the gutter because of saving your master."
Aware of the sincerity in Wei Zhong's tone, Zhuang Yao told him the situation inside the Zhigang Palace.
After hearing what Zhuang Yao said, Wei Zhong couldn't help rubbing the temples on both sides of his head.
Contrary to rumors, Zhigang Palace did not devote all its efforts to healing the wounds of Fellow Daoist Song, but fell into a clichéd internal struggle.
There are five Jindan-level cultivators in Zhigang Palace, which is equivalent to Qingmu Sect.
Although Luohe Prefecture is richer than Mangyuan Prefecture, the size of the sect is not much different, but there are more Jindan forces.
The Palace Master Song Linfang of Zhigang Palace has the highest cultivation level, which is in the late Jindan stage. There are two other Jindan elders who are closely related to him, both of whom are in the middle Jindan stage, but now they have died in this secret realm exploration.
The other two Jindan elders are one man and one woman. The female cultivator is at the middle Jindan level. She is Song Linfang's junior sister, named Bu Yajuan, who is in the middle Jindan stage.
In his early years, he failed to compete with Bu Yajuan for the position of Palace Master, so he became an elder in Zhigang Palace.
But he was quite dissatisfied with this senior sister in his heart. This time, he encountered such a good opportunity and quickly won over another elder in the early Jindan stage to compete for the position of Palace Master.
This Jindan elder is a male cultivator who has just reached the Jindan stage not long ago. His name is Ding Jinsong. It is said that he moved here from his mansion.
‘A middle Jindan stage plus an early Jindan stage want to support such a big plate of Zhigang Palace. These two are really blinded by power. ’
The Zhigang Palace with a late Jindan stage in charge is naturally not an ordinary force in Luohe Prefecture, but is located at the top of the sect of this prefecture like Jinguang Pavilion.
The scope of his subordinates’ influence is second only to Yunji Chamber of Commerce.
If Song Linfang falls this time, most of the territory of Zhigang Palace will inevitably be eroded by other forces.
The scale of the sect will also retreat to the ranks of ordinary Jindan forces.
It can be said that the internal fighting at this time is unwise.
As for the rumor heard from Xuxuan that Zhigang Palace sold its subordinates’ property, it was actually Song Linfang’s private assets.
These days, his power in the palace has been secretly undermined by his junior sister, and the rumor that he will not live long has spread in the sect, so there are not many disciples available.
No wonder the news of Song Linfang's injury, even though she is an important figure in the palace, spread to the market. It turned out that the second-in-command in the palace deliberately leaked it.
"Since your master can't even take action, why doesn't your uncle kill him directly?"
Zhuang Yao's face turned pale: "Although there are some frictions between the master and the uncle, it has not reached the point of fighting and killing."
Her voice trembled, and it was obvious that he was not sure about this.
Wei Zhong sighed and accelerated the speed of the spirit boat.
As a major force in the Jindan stage, Zhigang Palace is located beside the Luo River and is only a few dozen miles away from Yuelan City.
Wei Zhong arrived in a moment and landed outside the sect. His own disciples came to greet him.
He was a fat man with squinting eyes and was wearing shorts.
"Is this senior Master Wei?"
Zhuang Yao nodded, and asked without introducing:
"Is Master still in the Yangxin Palace?"
The latter nodded: "Master has been recuperating in the Yangxin Palace, and Master Bu just went to visit."
Zhuang Yao's face changed when he heard this: "Let's go and take a look!"
Then he turned around and looked at Wei Zhong: "Senior?"
"Lead the way."
Zhuang Yao immediately flew towards the southeast with a flying sword, and the little fat man also followed with a sword.
Wei Zhong followed behind the two of them, looking at the sect entrance getting farther and farther below.
'It seems that this Yangxin Palace is not here. '
Then looking at several nearby peaks, Wei Zhong sighed that Zhigang Palace is worthy of being the top Jindan force in this prefecture, and the scope of this sect is much larger than that of Qingmu Sect.
After escaping for a while, Zhuang Yao and the others fell towards a mountain covered with clouds and mist.
When Wei Zhong landed at the top of the peak, he saw the somewhat desolate mountain top here.
There were no extra buildings around, only a bluestone square and a bamboo pavilion in front.
There was a plaque on it with the three characters "Yangxin Hall" engraved on it.
Following the two of them into the hall, they saw Song Linfang sitting cross-legged inside and a man and a woman beside her.
Seeing that his master was fine, Zhuang Yao breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his hands and said:
"So Uncle Divination and Elder Ding are here. Disciple, please forgive me for offending!"
The female cultivator stood up from the futon and showed a slight smile:
"Yao Yao cares about her senior sister. Why is it strange that she is a senior uncle?"
Then he turned his gaze to Wei Zhongyan and said, "This must be the famous Alchemist Wei. I have heard about the master for a long time, and today I finally meet him."
When Bu Yajuan spoke to Wei Zhong, Wei Zhong was also looking at her carefully.
Unlike ordinary practitioners who dress in Taoist robes, Bu Yajuan wore a red and white calico dress with a green gem embellishment on the side of her chest.
Her long hair is slightly curly and placed diagonally in front of her right shoulder.
The whole person does not look like a practitioner, but like a graceful and elegant lady.
Seeing Wei Zhong looking at herself, Bu Yajuan smiled in her heart.
This outfit was specially dressed after hearing that Zhuang Yao went to invite this third-level alchemist, and it has come in handy now.
Bu Yajuan's cultivation is not as good as Song Linfang's, but she thinks that her appearance is not inferior to hers. With this unique dress, she is sure to attract the attention of outsiders and make them unable to look away.
No, Ding Jinsong beside him never took his eyes off Bu Yajuan for a moment.
Song Linfang and others also changed their colors for a moment when they saw Wei Zhong's appearance.
Fortunately, Wei Zhong looked away and said with a smile:
"Your Excellency, you must be Mr. Song's junior sister Bu Xianzi.
The fairy's dress really made the poor man's eyes shine. Such clothes are rare in Luohe Mansion. I don't know where the fairy got them. I would like to buy one or two for my wife and concubines at home. "
Bu Yajuan's face froze when she heard this, Song Linfang and others were also a little surprised, and Ding Jinsong had a bit of anger on his face.
It seemed that Wei Zhong said something he shouldn't have said and offended the other party.
‘Lick a dog. ’
Wei Zhong sneered secretly in his heart.
‘Bu Yajuan made a mistake in trying to use her beauty to influence herself. Although she is quite beautiful, she is far inferior to her own crape myrtle. ’
But this dress is really good, and what Wei Zhong said is true. He plans to buy a few pieces for Ling Ziwei and Xie Linghua.
"Haha," Bu Yajuan was stunned for only a moment, and then quickly reacted, "This is the dress I learned from the Western Desert. If you are interested, fellow Taoist, you may wish to pay attention to the caravan arriving from the Western Desert recently. "
"Western Desert?"
Wei Zhong touched his chin and thought for a moment, then raised his hand and replied: "Thank you Fairy Bu for informing me."
Then his eyes moved and looked at Song Linfang who was sitting cross-legged:
"Pindao has only been back to Luohe Mansion for a few years. Unexpectedly, my fellow Taoist was seriously injured. I came here to express my condolences and see if I can use this meager alchemy to relieve my worries."
"Thank you Daoist Fellow Wei!"
Song Linfang returned the favor with her hands, then looked at Bu Yajuan and Elder Ding and said:
"I will have a detailed discussion with fellow Daoist Wei next..."
This is the meaning of seeing off guests.
Ding Jinsong wanted to say something, but was stopped by Bu Yajuan.
"Senior Sister, have a good rest. Junior Sister will leave now. If necessary, please send the village girl to talk to me."
Then he bowed to Wei Zhong and left the Heart Cultivation Hall.
When Elder Ding Jinsongding saw Bu Yajuan leaving, he had no reason to stay here anymore. He flicked his sleeves and retreated.
"Bang!"
The palace door closed behind her, and Song Linfang smiled bitterly and said, "I made Fellow Daoist Wei laugh."
Wei Zhong shook his head: "I don't want to have any disputes in your palace, so I'd better let the poor Taoist see my fellow Taoist's injuries."
Song Linfang nodded and stretched out her wrist: "Please!"
Wei Zhong walked closer, sat down cross-legged, put his hand on his wrist, and the pill-forming consciousness spread into his body like a tide.
After a while, Wei Zhong let go of his hand and frowned slightly.
Song Linfang asked: "How is it? Can Fellow Daoist Wei do anything about this injury?"
Wei Zhong pondered for a moment and looked at the other two people in the hall.
Song Linfang knew what Wei Zhong meant, so she said to the two of them, "You two go out first."
Zhuang Yao was a little anxious: "Master..."
Song Linfang looked determined: "Get out!"
The latter took the little fat man and left the main hall.
"Can Fellow Daoist Wei say something now?"
Wei Zhong smiled slightly:
"From what I can see, Taoist friend seems to have been injured in his body, and his own foundation is a little unstable. Could it be that he has damaged his true elixir?"
Song Linfang nodded: "Exactly, I have a unique secret method of sacrificing the true elixir. When I was in danger, I used this method to block a fatal blow, and I was able to come back alive."
"oh?"
Wei Zhong looked a little surprised.
For monks, true elixirs are extremely important. They are the result of a body's cultivation, and there must be no mistakes.
Therefore, it is rare to use one's own true elixir to perform magical arts. I didn't expect that the Zhigang Palace would have such a strange method.
"To be honest, I have a pill that can repair spiritual cultivation. I don't know whether this pill has any effect on fellow Taoist Song."
Song Linfang was finally surprised after hearing this:
"The true elixir for spiritual repair? Fellow Daoist Wei still has this elixir in his hand. Can you let me take a look at it next time?"
"There is nothing you can't do."
Wei Zhong took out a green pill and placed it in front of Song Linfang. The latter looked at it for a moment, then looked up at Wei Zhong.
"Can you scrape off some pill powder and try it?"
Wei Zhong did not refuse. It was just some pill powder, which meant nothing to the whole pill.
The latter closed his eyes to refine the potion after applying it, but after a while he opened his eyes, his face full of surprise.
"Fellow Taoist, this elixir is really useful!"
"Oh? I didn't expect this pill to be effective for a physical practitioner like Song Daoyou."
Song Linfang shook her head:
"No, this pill is indeed very effective, but it still cannot take care of both the spiritual and physical realms. The reason why it can work on my body is because our body-training method is slightly special."
Song Linfang seemed not to want to talk too much about this, so she said she would stop here, and then asked Wei Zhong:
"I wonder what price I have to pay in exchange for this thing?"
Wei Zhong thought about it and said:
"Of course it's the Guigongzhen sect's "Zhi Gang Gong" technique."
Song Linfang sighed: "I didn't expect Fellow Daoist Wei to still be obsessed with our sect's exercises."
"Would you like that, Fellow Daoist Song?"
The other party shook his head: "'Zhi Gang Gong' is passed down from our ancestors, and it is not a matter of teaching it to fellow Taoists in the next sentence."
Wei Zhong narrowed his eyes slightly and heard the other party continue:
"Fellow Taoist needs a name!"
"Name? Pindao has stated in advance that I have no intention of getting involved in the affairs of Zhigang Palace."
"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Wei, this name will not have any impact on Fellow Daoist. It is just a false name that has neither power nor obligation."
Wei Zhong nodded and pushed the pill in front of Song Linfang.
The other party continued:
"The inheritance of the "Zhi Gang Gong" is not a trivial matter, and I still need to do it myself. Fellow Taoist, can you wait for a few days, wait for me to refine this elixir, restore some mana, and then pass it on to my fellow Taoist?"
Wei Zhong thought to himself: 'Is there something secret about this "Zhi Gang Gong"? ’
"It's just a few days, it's okay."
Seeing that Wei Zhong had no intention of leaving after saying this, Song Linfang continued to ask:
"Fellow Daoist Wei, do you have any other requests?"
Wei Zhong replied with some embarrassment:
"Does Fellow Daoist Song have a third-level spiritual land in his hands?
Xia Jiedan has been living on the small island of Yunxia Island until now, unable to practice.
I also want to find a first- or third-level high-grade spiritual land from fellow Taoist Song for practice.
As for the rental price, just follow the market price. Spiritual stones are not a problem. "
Song Linfang did not refuse: "
My Taoist friend is a third-level alchemist, so he shouldn't be relegated to a first- or second-level spiritual realm.
I happen to have a free third-level spiritual land in my hand, which can be rented to fellow Taoists. "
Wei Zhong showed a slight smile: "Then I'll thank you Daoist Song."
‘There is no reason to be idle in the third-level spiritual land. The other party is just a favor. ’
"Where is it? Fellow Daoist Wei saved me when my life was in danger. What happened on the spiritual island was just a little effort by me."
After achieving his goal, Wei Zhong stopped entangled and left the main hall.
I saw a female cultivator outside, and it turned out that it was Na Bu Yajuan who had not left.
