From the fake emperor to the concubine

"You guys, if you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. A good Qi training and foundation building method can help cultivators avoid many detours."

"That's true, but I think this matter is definitely not that simple."

"If it's just a method for training Qi and building a foundation, isn't there anyone who has come to take a look? In any case, it will be helpful to our cultivation, right?"

"What are you dreaming of? Regardless of whether such a technique is good or bad, the big sects will definitely hold it tightly in their hands. It is impossible for us casual cultivators to obtain it."

"That may not be the case." A man suddenly lowered his voice and said to the people around him, "To be honest, my mother's second uncle's third son's fourth cousin's fifth daughter is a disciple of Xingxiu Sea."

When they heard that this person was related to Xingxiu Sea, several cultivators around him suddenly became excited.

"Really? So you have seen that technique?"

"What exactly is this technique like? Tell us quickly. Is it really as powerful as the rumors say?"

The man hurriedly made a gesture to silence the crowd and lowered his voice, "Keep your voices down, everyone. I don't know how many people are coveting this technique. Are you trying to kill me by being so loud?"

Upon hearing this, several monks around closed their mouths to indicate that they did not mean that.

"Everyone, you are lucky to meet me today. It just so happens that I have encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation recently, so I am in urgent need of spirit stones."

"How about this, as long as you can afford the spirit stones, I will give you a copy of the technique."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help swallowing their saliva.

Although they have never seen this technique, the technique that has been circulating recently is quite mysterious.

Although they all felt that this was mostly a rumor.

But in the end, he still held on to the hope that he was lucky. What if he was wrong? After all, this technique was practiced by disciples from big sects like Xingxiuhai.

Even if we take a step back and say that this technique is not as powerful as imagined, it is definitely not that bad.

"I'll offer ten mid-grade spirit stones." A cultivator shouted anxiously and stated his offer.

"Are you crazy? You want to get the technique with ten middle-grade spirit stones? I'll give you twenty middle-grade spirit stones."

These people are all independent cultivators, and their family backgrounds are not very rich.

Ten middle-grade spirit stones were enough to drain half of their family's wealth. However, facing the top-grade skills, they could not care so much at this time.

"Twenty-one..."

"I'll give you twenty-two!"

Finally, when one of them shouted out twenty-five middle-grade spirit stones, the man who claimed to have the technique said with a pained look on his face, "Okay, twenty-five is twenty-five. It's my fate to be with you, brother."

As he spoke, the man took out a thin booklet and stuffed it into the other person's sleeve as quickly as possible.

Although they were moving very fast, the cultivators around them could still clearly see the name of the technique, "Nine Yin Secret Art".

The name is correct.

This thought flashed through everyone's mind at the same time.

Don't look at these people, they act as if they don't know much about the technique.

But in fact, most people already know the name of the technique that is highly valued by Xingxiu Sea.

The person who got the skills left in a hurry without even taking the time to read it.

The world of cultivators is not a fairy tale world. They have experienced too many things like killing people and stealing treasures.

Several people were preparing to catch up.

The cultivator who was selling the technique just now took out another one and said, "I happened to copy two copies while I was practicing. If any Taoist friend is interested, please share them with me."

"Twenty mid-grade spirit stones."

A new round of bidding begins again.

In the restaurant not far behind them.

In the private room on the second floor, four young monks were looking at them through the window of the restaurant.

It was obvious that several people had set up a formation in the room, and it was extremely clear to see outside from inside.

It is difficult for people outside to notice their presence.

"What a bunch of greedy fools." A young monk in a Confucian robe said disdainfully, "They actually fell for such a simple trick."

Another person laughed and said, "Brother Qiu is right. These guys don't even use their brains to think about it. Xingxu Sea values ​​those two skills so much, how could they let them drift away so easily?"

With a snap, the monk standing in front of the window opened his folding fan and said compassionately, "No matter what, we can't just watch them get cheated. Let's tell the people in Xingxiu Sea Law Enforcement Hall about this."

"Pretending to be from Xingxuhai to commit fraud will definitely affect the reputation of Xingxuhai."

I saw this person take out a piece of white paper and fan the paper twice with his folding fan.

Points of light fell on the white paper, and the paper folded automatically, soon becoming a paper crane. It flapped its wings a few times and slowly flew into the air.

"Tell fellow Taoists in Xingxiu Sea that there is a scammer in Lingju. If they come quickly, they may be able to stop the scammer here."

The paper crane changed direction, its speed suddenly increased, and it turned into a streak of white light and disappeared.

Opposite them, a cultivator covered in jewels and precious stones shook his head: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, you are really kind. You told Xingxiuhai such valuable information so easily."

Jiang He smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Qian, although this information can be exchanged for some spirit stones, it is not valuable information. Xingxiu Sea will discover the existence of these people sooner or later. I just told them in advance."

Qiu Ming mocked him unceremoniously: "Qian Wanrong, you are obsessed with money. Do you want to exchange this useless information for money?"

Qian Wanrong was not angry despite being mocked by Qiu Ming. He reached his chubby little hand into his arms and took out a golden abacus that was only the size of his palm.

Although this golden abacus is made entirely of gold, it does not look tacky at all with the ancient patterns carved on it. Instead, it has a sense of simplicity and grandeur.

It’s a pity that the person who uses it is a vulgar person who only cares about money and not people.

Qian Wanrong fiddled with his abacus and said, "That's not the way to say it. This news is not worth much, but it can be exchanged for a portion of steamed sea bass, a portion of mixed earth dragon grass, a portion of golden crystal beef, and a jar of fifty-year-old Huadiao wine in front of Brother Qiu."

The other three were speechless at the same time.

"Fellow Daoist Qian, you took the initiative to treat us to this meal because you lost the bet. We didn't force you to treat us." Zhang Hua held up the wine glass and pointed at Qian Wanrong with a helpless smile.

Qian Wanrong looked pained: "That's why we have to find a way to make up for the shortfall from other sources."

"I'm different from you three. No matter what I do, I have to calculate carefully." As he said this, he fiddled with the abacus a few more times, seeming to feel more and more painful.

Qiu Ming frowned and said, "You look so stingy. At worst, we can treat you like before. I'll treat you this time."

Qian Wanrong shook his head firmly and said, "That won't do. We businessmen value integrity. If we lose, we must accept the loss."

Look at this guy, he is obviously very distressed, but still insists.

Zhang Hua and Jiang He couldn't help but chuckle.

They didn't mean to look down on Qian Wanrong. Although this guy was stingy, there was a reason for it.

Qian Wanrong was born in Wanqitang. As for which sect in the entire Canglan Realm is the strongest, there may still be some controversy.

Some people think it is the Qingtian Sword Sect, because they not only have the Sword God Fang Zhuo, but also many masters of the God Transformation Stage, which seems to be the largest sect in the Canglan Realm.

Some people also think it should be Jinghang Mountain.

Because, Biluo Huangquan Shen Weiyao is the number one master in Canglan Realm.

However, these two sects have never really fought each other, so no one knows what the truth is.

However, if we talk about the richest sect in Canglan Realm, it must be Wanqitang.

As the name suggests, Wanqitang is best at refining various magical weapons.

They not only sell them, but also help monks in need by customizing magical instruments according to their needs.

For a sect like this, as long as it is not targeted by those greedy people, making money will be as easy as water flowing into the water.

There are generally three modes of cooperation between the Equipment Refining Hall and monks.

The first is to sell the finished magical instruments they have refined.

These magical instruments are basically used by the disciples of the Equipment Refining Hall to practice.

Therefore, such magic weapons are usually not very powerful, and it is possible that these magic weapons may have differences due to the different people who refined them.

But no matter what, these magical instruments can be sold and can be guaranteed to be used normally.

After all, the Equipment Refining Hall doesn't want the reputation of their sect to be affected by those shoddy-made magical instruments.

If it is customized, there are two ways of cooperation.

If the monks provide the materials themselves, the Equipment Refining Hall can help them refine magical instruments for free.

The price is that the remaining scraps need to be handed over to the Equipment Refining Hall.

As for the other way, of course it is barter. No matter whether it is a secret manual of martial arts or a priceless treasure, the Equipment Refining Hall will accept them all.

If there are those responsible for manufacturing, there will naturally be those responsible for trading and selling.

Qian Wanrong is the disciple of Qian Sect in the Equipment Refining Hall.

The martial art they practiced was called "Money Kung Fu". Although the name sounded cliché, it was very powerful.

However, during the process of cultivation, a large amount of resources such as money, spirit stones, etc. are needed.

Because of this, all the disciples of the Wanqi Hall were money-hungry. There was nothing they could do. Unlike other cultivators, they could not cultivate without money.

Less than a cup of tea after the paper crane left, the disciples of the Xingxiu Sea Law Enforcement Hall arrived.

There were nine of them, all of them were beautiful female cultivators.

The man who sold the fake secret book changed his expression, put away the secret book immediately and ran away.

Although his movements were fast, how could he be faster than the disciples of Xingxiu Sea?

The two female nuns' dresses fluttered and their movements seemed light and slow, but they blocked the escaping swindler in the blink of an eye.

"How dare you cheat in our Xingxiu Sea? You are so brave! Catch you!"

The fraudulent monk himself wasn't very powerful, otherwise he wouldn't have cheated people for a few dozen mid-grade spirit stones.

He didn't even put up much resistance before he was captured by the disciples of the Xingxiu Sea Law Enforcement Hall.

The other monks then realized that they had been deceived.

Pointing at the liar and cursing at him.

"Asshole, you dare to lie to me, just wait, I will never let you go."

"Damn scum, give me back my spirit stone."

Some people were worried and explained to the female practitioners in the Law Enforcement Hall.

"Fellow Daoist, I'm not coveting your Xingxiu Sea skills. I just came here to join in the fun."

"I bought this guy's skills because I wanted to help you collect evidence. If he dares to take out the skills, I will immediately take him to Xingxiu Sea. Anyone who secretly resells skills should be punished."

As soon as this person said this, everyone was stunned with shock.

I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone so shameless.

He is a man of talent, able to speak of such a shameful matter in such a righteous manner.

When asking the people who were having dinner at the mausoleum, their eyes all fell on Qian Wanrong.

Qian Wanrong's face flushed instantly: "Why are you looking at me? I have always been honest in doing business, completely different from this liar."

Although those who bought the secret manuals were not innocent, the female practitioners of the Law Enforcement Hall did not bother with them.

"The secret manual of our Xingxiu Sea is not something that anyone can obtain. Next time you encounter such a thing, don't believe it easily. It's best to tell us directly and let us handle it."

The leading female nun educated these people and then drove them away.

As for the liar, he will naturally be taken back for interrogation.

Before leaving, the leading female cultivator from the Law Enforcement Hall went to the private room on the second floor of Wenlingju to express her gratitude to Jiang He and the others.

"I would like to thank you fellow Taoists for not damaging the reputation of Xingxiu Sea. I am very grateful."

"If you have any questions in the future, please feel free to ask. As long as it is within my ability, I will definitely help you."

Jiang He and the others had long since put away their cynical looks and behaved more seriously than the other.

"You are too polite, Junior Sister. We are all cultivators, and this is what we should do." Jiang He put away his folding fan and returned the greeting with a smile.

After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, the woman stood up and said goodbye: "I still have official business to attend to, so I won't bother you brothers anymore."

After she left, Zhang Hua immediately said, "I met her a few days ago. Although she was already at the peak of foundation building at that time, it was obvious that she had just broken through and her foundation was not particularly solid yet."

"Under normal circumstances, unless she is extremely talented, it would take her at least a few years to break through to the early stage of crystallization."

Hearing Zhang Hua's words, even Qiu Ming couldn't help but gasp: "Are you telling the truth?"

Without waiting for Zhang Hua to answer, Jiang He said, "It must be true. I have also met this female cultivator once. Not only her, but I have seen four of the nine people who came just now."

"Moreover..." Jiang He said solemnly, "Each of them has achieved at least a breakthrough in one small realm."

Qian Wanrong fiddled with his abacus intentionally or unintentionally: "So, Xingxiu Sea has indeed obtained a very powerful martial art. And the rumors are true. All of their disciples are practicing this martial art."

Qiu Ming frowned, "But during this period, I haven't heard of any special actions in Xingxiu Sea. At least, they shouldn't have found any unknown secret places or caves."

Qian Wanrong nodded: "If there is, such a secret cannot be concealed." (End of this chapter)
