The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

One month has passed since I asked Tong Ying to bring something to the family.

In this month, he finally met Granny Wen, whom he had not seen for a long time, and had a good time with her.

During the conversation, Xu Zhiyu brought up the matter of finding a fourth-level formation mage, and the matter was easily resolved.

Granny Wen took him to the formation hall that was responsible for the formation. When she revealed her identity, the deputy hall master with fake infant cultivation appeared in person to entertain her.

"Fellow Literary Daoist, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are always so nice!"

As soon as they met, the deputy palace master named Shi Cheng greeted Granny Wen very warmly. It seemed that the two of them had known each other for a long time, but they never paid much attention to Xu Zhiyu who was standing aside, and only regarded him as a follower. That’s all.

"TOEFL, it's not bad! Fellow Taoist Shi, let me introduce you to him. This fellow Taoist's surname is Xu. I brought him to your door this time because I have something to ask for!"

Deputy Palace Master Shi was also very thoughtful. When he heard Granny Wen calling a Zifu monk a Taoist friend, he immediately pretended to have just seen Xu Zhiyu, and immediately changed his attitude and said with an amiable smile:

"This fellow Taoist is very jealous. I guess he has never been to my Formation Hall. I must visit him more often when I have time in the future!"

"Fellow Daoist Shi, if you have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely bother you."

He also said a few polite words, but thinking that he was leaving soon, he didn't know when he would set foot in Taiyang Tower next time, and he felt a little lost.

"Okay, Lao Shi, since we are acquaintances, I won't talk in circles. This fellow Daoist Xu is looking for you because he wants you to set up a formation. Let him tell you in detail!"

After Granny Wen finished speaking, she sat on the waiting chair next to her, took the spiritual tea that the waiter had just brewed, and began to taste it. She was mainly responsible for threading the needle, and the next thing had little to do with her.

Deputy Palace Master Shi stroked his beard, turned his head and looked between the two, and then asked Xu Zhiyu:

"I don't know what kind of formation it is, but Fellow Daoist Xu can tell me."

He said this very confidently, but he does have this strength, just because he is already a formation master who is about to break through to the fifth level.

Then Xu Zhiyu explained to him in detail the various characteristics and requirements of the Five Elements Beast Soul Formation. At the same time, he emphasized the need to adjust the power of the formation. It was about increasing the intensity of his spiritual consciousness, and he did not dare to be careless at all.

After listening to his request, Deputy Palace Master Shi was obviously very interested in such a set of formations. He also wanted to inquire about the specific uses of this set of formations. However, looking at Granny Wen sitting aside, he could only Quit this idea.

"Fellow Taoist said that it is really difficult for ordinary formation masters to set up this formation, because it involves the coexistence of the five elements of beast souls, the synchronization of their spiritual attacks, and many other difficulties.

But these are not a problem for the monks in our formation hall. Any third-level high-grade formation master can set it up, but for the sake of safety, I will do it myself! "

"Then I'll thank you, fellow Taoist!"

Xu Zhiyu immediately thanked him, thinking that he was telling the truth. In fact, there was something untrue in Deputy Palace Master Shi's words just now.

Although this set of formations uses third-level high-grade beast souls as the main material, the level of the array has actually surpassed the category of third-level formations and barely entered the ranks of fourth-level formations. It is absolutely impossible to do what he said. Just like that, you can just find a third-level high-grade array mage to arrange it.

As for why he exaggerated, it actually had something to do with the arrival of Granny Wen. Granny Wen’s identity was very subtle, and everyone knew who was behind her. So, was this visit just to set up a formation, or was it for other purposes? Deputy Hall Master Shi needs to consider it carefully.

To put it bluntly, Granny Wen's visit is the same as the one sent by his superiors to inspect the work. Therefore, as the deputy director of the department, he must make an appropriate exaggeration of the work capabilities of his department's subordinates to highlight the importance of his department, otherwise What should we do if our leaders think that your department is a fool and thus reduce the budget?
It has to be said that among the big forces, there are a lot of twists and turns. Everyone has many evil intentions, but there is nothing we can do about it. Due to the circumstances, those who are too real will either be transferred away or be tricked. After death, those who survive can only make themselves smarter and smarter.

However, Xu Zhiyu, who does not belong to Taiyang Tower, is not aware of this at all. He just feels that the people here always talk in a cloudy manner, which sometimes makes people confused.

It has to be said that the fourth-level top formation master's move was extraordinary. Within an hour of handing over the materials to him, the Five Elements Beast Soul Formation was set up.

"Lao Shi, thank you for your hard work. I have remembered this kindness and will definitely repay it in the future."

Seeing that it was over, Granny Wen stood up and clasped her fists.

I have been busy for so long just because of this sentence. Although I was happy to talk, Deputy Palace Master Shi still said with a straight face:
"Hey, fellow Taoist, what are you saying? We are all colleagues, shouldn't we help each other? If you say that, aren't you being foreign?"

"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first. The lady has been out recently, so I've been taking care of the Sunu Palace. There are too many complicated things, and I really can't stay away for a long time!"

Hearing Granny Wen say this, Deputy Palace Master Shi made a waiting gesture, then turned his head and told Xu Zhiyu behind him:
"So that Fellow Daoist Xu will know that although the formation has been arranged, there is still one point that needs more attention."

"Please give me some advice, fellow Taoist."

"The main power of this formation is the beast soul hidden in the five formation flags. However, the beast soul has a service life, so in the future, it is best to replenish it during use, which can extend service life.”

Hearing Deputy Palace Master Shi say this, Xu Zhiyu couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

He will definitely use this formation many times. From the middle stage of Foundation Establishment to the late stage of Zifu, he will launch five hundred spiritual attacks. The consumption of the divine soul must be extremely huge, so appropriate supplements are very necessary. .

However, the spiritual objects that restore the soul must be extremely precious. Take the high-level auction held in Taiyang Tower not long ago. Even the fifth-level spiritual objects appeared as many as thirty, but the spiritual objects that restore the soul only appeared. A kind of.

"I would like to ask my friend, what kind of spiritual objects are needed to restore the soul?"

After hearing that this formation required a spiritual object to restore the soul, Granny Wen also put down her tea cup and began to listen carefully. There were not many such spiritual objects in their Taiyang Tower treasure house, just because of this kind of spiritual object that could restore the soul. Spiritual objects are generally born naturally, and there are too few that are produced the day after tomorrow.

Seeing how nervous the two of them were, Deputy Palace Master Shi knew that they had misunderstood and hurriedly explained:

"It's not the magical spiritual thing that naturally restores the soul as you two thought, but a kind of elixir that is cultivated and synthesized day after day, called Dragon Wood Soul-Replenishing Saliva.

This is a kind of saliva cultivated from dozens of third-level elixirs and century-old soul-nurturing trees. It has a fragrant taste and has a very good effect on replenishing the soul. However, this thing is only effective for fourth-level and lower monks. , so it is not considered precious. "

Having said this, he had an expression that was extremely coincidental, then smiled slightly, held his right hand in the air, and suddenly a small green porcelain bottle appeared in his palm.

"Look, you two, the dragon wood soul-replenishing saliva I mentioned is contained here. I collected it accidentally many years ago. It has not been used for so many years. I will give it to Daoist Xu today."

"How can this be done? How can I get something from fellow Taoist for nothing? How many spiritual stones did this cost to fellow Taoist? I will give it to you now. I am already very sorry to trouble fellow Taoist to set up the formation. How can I dare to accept fellow Taoist again? The Dragon Wood Soul Replenishing Saliva?”

Xu Zhiyu naturally declined. He was not short of spiritual stones now, so why not buy them? It was not his character to always take advantage. However, Deputy Palace Master Shi has been unwilling to say how many spirit stones there are because he doesn't know.

This dragon wood soul-replenishing saliva was found when he went to the apse to set up the formation and ordered his disciples to mobilize all the monks in the temple to find it.

Finally, I got a small bottle in the hands of a disciple from the eighth floor of the Purple Mansion. Now if you ask him to tell you the price, it will really embarrass him, because he didn’t ask at all and just hurriedly appeared with the Dragonwood Soul-Replenishing Saliva. in front of the two of them.

Seeing the two of them pushing back and forth, Granny Wen spoke up.

"Deputy Palace Master Shi, Fellow Daoist Xu, how about you two each take a step back? I have heard of the price of this dragon wood soul-replenishing saliva. A bottle like this is probably worth around 500,000 low-grade spiritual stones.

I see it this way. Fellow Daoist Xu, you can just pay Fellow Daoist 2,500 middle-grade spiritual stones. That’s it! "

Once they reached the bottom of the steps, the two of them stopped giving in. One took out the spirit stone, and the other happily accepted it.

Just when the two of them were about to leave, Deputy Palace Master Shi gave his final instructions:

"Fellow Taoist, please look at this. This is a formation plate for controlling formations. There are five raised places on it, and there are words marked next to them, which respectively represent the five stages from the middle stage of foundation building to the late stage of Zifu.

What kind of power do you want the formation to exert? All you need to do is press the corresponding raised part after the formation is arranged.

Although I don’t know what you need to do to set up this formation, fellow Taoist, but I still want to remind you that the power of this formation is extraordinary.

Even if a monk from the ninth level of Zifu breaks into it, you only need to press the bulge representing the later stage of Zifu. Within three breaths, the monk will definitely die within the formation, so you must be careful when using it. Be more cautious. "

"If any Taoist friends remind you, I will pay attention."

Xu Zhiyu promised well, but he didn't care in his heart. As long as his amulet has enough energy, he is not afraid of the opponent's spiritual attack at all.

Moreover, he needs to be baptized by the attack of the divine soul to practice the secret method of the divine soul.

Seeing that the matter was over, Granny Wen took him and left the Formation Hall. Deputy Hall Master Shi kept sending them away until they saw the plaque of Su Nu Palace, then she said goodbye and went back.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, what do you think of Deputy Palace Master Shi?"

After returning to her residence, Granny Wen did not leave directly, but started chatting with him.

"A very good person, very enthusiastic, very kind to others, and very generous with his actions."

Although he didn't know what she meant by asking, Xu Zhiyu still just told the truth.

"Then in your opinion, is he suitable to be placed outside and become the branch manager?"

Isn't this an internal matter in your Taiyang Building? Why did I ask an outsider, but seeing Granny Wen staring at me, I had to answer.

"Well, in my opinion, if an ordinary market sends a fake infant monk to be the shopkeeper, it would be a bit overkill, and people may not be happy with it.

However, if it is a large city, like Yuanzhenfang City, it is still necessary to send a fake infant monk. "

His answer was ambiguous, and he passed the choice back to the other party without leaving any trace.

After hearing his answer, Granny Wen tapped her fingers on the armrest of the chair and thought about it for a long time before asking him:
"So in your mind, what size of market does your Xu family's Taoyuan City belong to?"

"Pfft, cough~cough~cough~"

When he heard this question, he was drinking spiritual tea, and the result was that he spurted it out.

"What do you mean, Fellow Taoist, that the building is going to send a shopkeeper with a fake infant cultivation level to my Xu family's market?"

"what do you think?"

The words "very good" were about to come out of his mouth, but he held them back and began to weigh the pros and cons.

There are too many advantages. Taiyang Tower sent monks and fake infant monks there, which means that they attach great importance to this branch. In the future, resources will definitely be given priority. Even if it is not as good as Yuanzhenfang City, it will definitely be better than now. Taoyuanfang City is more than one step stronger.

At that time, monks from tens of thousands of miles around will definitely be attracted to settle and spend money in their Xu family's Taoyuan City. By then, the size of the market will definitely expand several times, and the Xu family's income in the market will definitely increase several times. .

But there are also disadvantages, and they are not small, that is, it is too publicity. You must know that in the Tianyuanfang City branch at the foot of the Lingxiao Sect Zongmen Mountain, the highest cultivation level is just a fake infant cultivation level, and the Xu family is a member of the Zifu family. It is a bit unreasonable that the size distribution of the city is comparable to that of the Yuanying sects.

Yes, Mr. Tong promised that he would show up to rescue you in critical moments after crushing the Golden Leaf of the God of Spirit, but you also have to consider whether it is too late or not. There is no problem in attacking the golden elixir, and he can appear in time. What if Yuanying makes a sneak attack? The home was gone in one blow, so it seemed inappropriate to be too high-profile.

Moreover, it is absolutely not allowed to use the old man's banner without his permission, because the two parties did not mention this matter when negotiating terms, and it is definitely not allowed for you to make arbitrary decisions.

After thinking about it, he said:

"The fake infant monk is too ostentatious, so we should send a monk who is in the late stage of Jindan. By the way, is Shopkeeper Xi ready to return to the headquarters?"

"Okay, I will report your thoughts to the master. As for Xi Yatou, the young lady will bring her back after inspecting the Hengduan Mountains this time."

"Thank you, fellow Taoist, for telling me."

"Well, I'll take my leave if I have nothing to do."

"Okay, I'll take fellow Taoist out."

"No, please stay."

After saying that, Granny Wen left without looking back. She was in a hurry. It seemed that she was looking for the old man to return to her life. (End of chapter)
