"According to your requirements, the best material for making the precious harp's strings should be the tendons of high-level monsters. The higher the bloodline grade, the better." Fairy Si Ya said.
After hearing this, Zhao Kangping immediately thought of the snow dragon that his senior sister had killed in the Northern Territory. His senior sister had said that she would use the dragon's tendons to refine a zither-type magic weapon for Qianqian in the future.
"Okay, I'll find a way." Zhao Kangping agreed without hesitation.
The matter was settled.
Then Liu Fucai talked about the succession ceremony.
He took out three pieces of paper, on which were densely written his three plans.
Then he began to talk about his ideas in a torrent of words.
The first option is the most luxurious, with all kinds of props and equipment on the scene. Needless to say, the on-site effect and atmosphere are gorgeous.
But the problem is that the price cannot be lowered. Even at a friendly price, it would cost tens of millions of spirit stones.
Zhao Kangping thought this plan was good, but it was too expensive.
Noticing that the city lord was frowning, Liu Fucai quickly began to introduce the second plan.
Compared to the first plan, the second looked much fresher. There were no excessive fireworks or meaningless floats, no cranes or artificial spectral effects to liven up the atmosphere. It was simply a standard succession ceremony.
But it was too plain, and Zhao Kangping felt it had no special features.
Then there is the third one.
This plan lacked other equipment and props, but many female cultivators from the Miaoyin Sect were invited to perform music to enhance the atmosphere.
The Miaoyin Sect is a female cultivation sect, renowned for training female cultivators in various musical instruments. It's considered a renowned music academy in the world of immortal cultivation.
As a pillar industry of the sect, they often take on commercial performance orders.
At this time, Dongfang Jingrou suddenly interrupted: "Speaking of playing music, I think our White Saint's musical attainments are no worse than those of the younger generation of the Miaoyin Sect. If you want music, why not invite the Saint over?"
Everyone else present looked at her.
Zhao Kangping introduced: "This is my housekeeper, her name is Dongfang Jingrou. She used to be the chief steward of the Holy Lord Palace and has a good relationship with the Saint."
If someone mentioned the saint, these three would probably think it was a joke.
The Saint's status in the Zi Yang Holy Land is so noble that she could not be casually invited to play music for a city lord's succession ceremony.
I'm afraid you shouldn't even think about it. If you say it out loud, people will laugh at you and say you're dreaming.
But Qin Lingxuan had investigated and she knew that Zhao Kangping was the Saint Lord's fellow disciple, and in terms of seniority, he was the Saint Lady's uncle.
Maybe he could actually invite Saint Bai to come and show his support.
However, Dongfang Jingrou's proposal made Zhao Kangping suffer.
There were some subtle misunderstandings between him and his Junior Brother Bai, and he always felt that he couldn't bring himself to bring it up.
Then he neither objected nor agreed to the housekeeper's proposal.
After listening to Dongfang Jingrou's suggestion, Liu Fucai was inspired again. He made some temporary changes to the third plan.
This proposal was incorporated and other details were adapted accordingly.
After Zhao Kangping read the revised plan, he took a deep breath.
"How about, Fairy Si Ya, let's discuss the matter of refining a musical instrument first. If all the materials are complete, how long will it take to refine it?" Zhao Kangping seemed to be changing the subject, but in fact he also felt that he could take this opportunity to ease his relationship with Bai Qianqian.
Although his senior sister mentioned it to him, he didn't want to eat rice bowl.
I simply feel that it’s not good to have such a strained relationship with my nephew.
"About seven days, but I have to go back to my workshop. After it's refined, you can come and get it yourselves." Fairy Si Ya said.
Zhao Kangping: "Okay, then it's a deal."
Then they talked about many things.
For example, Qin Lingxuan told him that after discussions with the Thousand Merchants Alliance delegation, they had decided to invest in Chuanliu City and would collaborate with the City Lord. Most of their delegation remained, intending to attend his succession ceremony before returning to Fuxian City.
At the same time, Qin Lingxuan asked about Luo Xueqing again.
He also told her about his disciple's participation in the demon-slaying operation.
By the time they had finished chatting, about an hour had passed.
When the distinguished guest left, Zhao Kangping personally saw him off.
"Why do you look so sad after they left?" Dongfang Jingrou walked up to him and asked.
After thinking about it, Zhao Kangping felt that the woman was his right-hand man, so he told her about the unknown sarcoma he found in the city.
"Once this strange tumor parasitizes a human, it will cause the host's temperament to change drastically, becoming cruel and vicious. I decided it would be best to send someone to check if there are other such dirty things in the city." Only then did he realize that he had too few men and not many people could do this dirty work for him.
No wonder Senior Sister said that she wanted to build up her own power. He now has the same idea.
……
The sewer network in Chuanliu City is extensive and has even been transformed into an underground world.
In the early years, this place was occupied by several evil forces. Later, with the efforts of He Weiyuan, the Black Snake Gang he fostered unified the sewers.
Today, this place has become the most hidden gray area in Chuanliu City. Not only is it home to a large number of independent cultivators, but it also houses many shady industries, such as prostitution, illegal gambling houses, and the production of certain banned drugs.
Today, Chen Mazi once again carried a sack into the dim sewer. He walked through the stinking ditch and the maze-like passages, finally arriving at a noisy area.
The dim spiritual stone lamps hanging high above made the place look eerie and scary, and the various figures coming and going wandered around like ghosts.
He walked a few blocks and came to a store with a greasy sign. On the sign were three words "Zizaiwo" written crookedly.
This is actually a secret brothel in the sewer. The women who serve customers there are basically abducted or forced to sell their bodies because they have no other choice.
Most of the people who come here to consume are the lowest-level monks who are doing the worst. These people cannot afford to marry, but need to solve their physiological problems, so they come to this place.
A fat man guarding the door saw that it was Chen Mazi. He took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Hey, isn't this Chen Mazi? Where did you get this stuff from? I hope it's not the sickly one from last time."
The fat man with a fat face poked the sack with his pipe, and the sack actually moved.
"Don't worry, Fatty, the goods are on order this time." Chen Mazi smiled obscenely.
After taking a puff, Fatty blew a smoke ring towards Chen Mazi's face, choking him and making him cough.
"Fatty, if you don't believe me, come and check the goods." As he said that, he gently put the sack on the ground.
He carefully untied the sack, revealing a pale face inside.
When he saw this face, the fat on Fatty's face twitched and his eyes widened.
"Open the bag a little." The fat, pig-like man poked Chen Mazi's shoulder with his pipe.
Chen Mazi immediately did as he was told, and then a petite figure appeared in front of the counter of Zizaiwo.
Perhaps the effect of the drug had not yet worn off, and the pretty girl was still lying limply on the ground.
Fatty walked out from behind the counter and looked at the person on the ground carefully.
"Tsk tsk tsk, not bad. Ten spirit stones." Fatty even touched the man's face himself.
It's very tender and smooth, it must be a top quality product.
But after hearing Fatty's estimate, Chen Mazi was puzzled. He said, "Fatty, this is the most beautiful person I've found in all these years. How come it's only ten spirit stones?"
Fatty didn't answer him, but just waved his hand, and two tall and strong men came out from the dark.
Chen Mazi immediately shut up.
However, this was not the end yet. Fatty suddenly stood up and slapped Chen Mazi in the face.
"Asshole, how dare you lie to me. This is obviously a boy." While the person on the ground was still unconscious, the fat-faced man was still touching the other person. As he was touching, he found something wrong.
With. handle.
"Ah? How is that possible? She's clearly wearing girls' clothes." Chen Mazi panicked. He had just seen this cute, delicate child on the street. With no parents around, she was a perfect target.
He lured the man to his home on the pretext of showing him something good.
Fatty didn't want to hear his explanation, so he called out to his men, "Kick him out. I won't see you again today."
There was no need for those rough guys to really take action. Chen Mazi ran out the door without saying a word.
After Chen Mazi left, Fatty opened his mouth wide and revealed a lewd smile.
How stupid.
Some customers with special hobbies like this kind of fair and tender boy. If this kid were to be sold, his price would definitely be more than ten spirit stones.
Some people who are willing to spend spirit stones may be willing to buy it for thousands of spirit stones.
The little boy lying on the ground woke up slowly and found himself in an unfamiliar and dim environment.
He was a little scared.
Chapter 295: Book a room while waiting
Hearing that Ji Miaoyan was injured, Zhao Kangping went to visit her.
After all, she is Princess Zhou Liu. Although she is not favored, if something happens in his house, he will definitely be in trouble.
Fortunately, the maid who knew medicine checked her out and said that she was no longer seriously injured and would recover after just a few days of rest.
"What's going on?" he asked Aunt Yun and Zhao Mengyao who were present.
Nangong Ruyun then told her that Zhao Mengyao came to play with her today, and the two girls made an appointment to compete with each other.
But it also mentioned that Ji Miaoyan was a little excited and accidentally injured herself during the battle.
She deliberately omitted the sex stories Zhao Mengyao had mentioned, but after thinking about them again, she felt ashamed.
Whenever she looked at Zhao Kangping again, she felt that she couldn't bear to look at him. So much so that at this moment, she always avoided his gaze intentionally or unintentionally.
After learning that Ji Miaoyan was fine, Zhao Kangping did not stay here for long and left soon.
But Zhao Mengyao stopped him and said, "Master, I just figured out a new trick recently. Would you like to see it?"
Zhao Kangping pulled her out of the house and gave her another questioning look: "What's the new trick?"
Upon hearing this, she made a spell and summoned three extremely yin water cats.
The texture of the three kittens was like jelly or gel, with a transparent gray-green color, and you could see the kitten bones inside.
They look a bit weird, but their movements are vivid and lifelike, just like real cats.
This is because they were transformed from the cats that were previously raised, and they retained some of their previous habits.
"Did you kill those cats before?" Zhao Kangping asked bluntly.
He didn't think that his second disciple would be so cruel as to refine the cat into such a horrible appearance while it was still alive. She must have recycled the cat after it died.
Zhao Mengyao scratched her head a little embarrassedly: "Well, I forgot to leave food for the cats before I went into seclusion, and they all starved to death."
After knowing that this was the new move his disciple was talking about, Zhao Kangping was a little disappointed.
He thought this girl had come up with some new tricks in bed, but it turned out not to be the case. It was just boring.
"But you don't expect these cats to help you kill the enemy, do you?"
"No, I just think it's a pity that those cats died. Of course, it would be better if they could be stronger in the future."
It was strange. Zhao Mengyao had been very lazy about cultivation before, often giving it a try but now she could come up with new techniques on her own.
But this should also be a positive change he brought about. She learned the Extreme Yin Ruo Shui Jue in advance, and through formal channels. This has undoubtedly had a huge impact on her life.
It should be a positive influence, so he didn't intend to discourage her enthusiasm. So he said, "You have your own ideas, which is great. And your kittens can actually be strengthened by refining certain corresponding materials in the future."
"But the details are up to you to figure out, and I'm afraid I can't help you with that. I'm looking forward to your future achievements in cultivation."
His words were both encouraging and full of hope for her future, which Zhao Mengyao found very helpful.
In the past, because her cultivation path was not going smoothly, she had long been in self-doubt. But Master never gave up on her, and he never gave up on her now, and he would never give up on her in the future.
Now she had found the path that suited her. In just a few months, she had made progress that she hadn't even imagined in the past few years. She believed her future would be a smooth one.
She felt very happy this year, but she was still afraid that it was just a dream.
She hugged her master's arm tightly, wanting to feel the warmth from his body.
"What are you doing? There are people around here." He said in a voice transmission.
The two were still in Aunt Yun's yard, not far from Ji Miaoyan's door.
Zhao Mengyao pulled him outside.
