745 Pushing the Boat Along the River [One Shift]
Nuomi explained to Ah Da and told them to observe that something was wrong outside.
But she soon found out that she had entrusted this matter to a few half-demons, as if she hadn't entrusted it to her. It's quite remarkable that those half-demons can go around and come back from outside, let alone find something out there.
It's not that those half-demons are not keen enough to observe, but that the things they care about are fundamentally different from what the monks pay attention to. They could even find out which of the spirit trees at the gate of the mountain had lost a thick branch, but they couldn't find something that ordinary monks thought was very superficial.
In just two days, Nuomi immediately discovered this problem, and suddenly she couldn't laugh or cry.
Although she didn't take this matter very seriously, and she didn't think that those half-demons would definitely be able to find anything, but every day she heard the half-demons come back and describe to her, saying that the spiritual grass and spiritual wood outside had changed, and how the spiritual energy under the spiritual veins was surging today, she only felt funny.
"Come on, I'm not asking you to pay attention to this." Nuomi couldn't help but wave his hand to chase those half-demons.
Several half-demons looked at each other.
That's all they can see.
Nuomi didn't reproach them, or even explain much to them. After all, these conceptual differences are simply incomprehensible in words. She ordered the wrong person to do things and didn't get the results she wanted, and she deserved it.
However, even a few half-demons messed up things, but she still quickly understood what Xianyi City wanted to do.
- Xiao Jingyan came back first.
He originally stepped on the flying sword with Qin Guanglan to go outside, and he didn't say what he was going to do, leaving Nuomi alone in the sect to guard.
After Nuomi woke up that day, she only saw a black head in front of the door, and some disciples of the mountain sect who didn't know what to do rushed to the front of her room, waiting for her arrangement. It wasn't until that time that she knew that Xiao Jingyan and Qin Guanglan had disappeared at some point.
left without a little explanation, and asked Nuomi to spend a lot of effort to appease the disciples.
She could roughly guess that the two men had gone out to investigate. However, not all the disciples in the sect were so familiar with the head of the sect and the head of the sect, and for a while, they were still a little apprehensive.
When Xiao Jingyan came back, his face was not good-looking. Especially after seeing glutinous rice. Even turned the gray face into a miserable white, which was very scary to look at.
"Ah Xiao, what are you...... What's wrong? Nuomi was taken aback by Xiao Jingyan's face.
Xiao Jingyan didn't speak, just shook his head, pulled the glutinous rice and walked into the room, obviously unwilling to speak in front of those disciples outside. As soon as Nuomi saw that he insisted like this, he stopped being wordy, called the pillar, and flashed into a room with Xiao Jingyan, allowing the disciples outside to stretch their necks and look curiously.
When the pillar heard the greeting of the glutinous rice, he immediately walked to the edge of the house. Dodged into the room, closed the door with his backhand, and then leaned his whole body against the door panel, looking like he couldn't open it.
Xiao Jingyan's face was still full of anxiety, but he suddenly saw Zhu Zi also walk into the room. He couldn't help frowning and whispered, "Why did you call him in." β
"......" Glutinous rice opened her mouth.
She wanted to ask what the pillar couldn't hear. But she immediately remembered that although the pillar was important in her heart, there was no place in this Thousand Thousand Sects. There are some things related to the internal affairs of the sect. There really wasn't a need for him to listen. Moreover, as long as he didn't hear it, then even if there was anything else, he wouldn't suspect it.
"If it's inconvenient, I'll call my senior brother out." Glutinous rice whispered.
But Xiao Jingyan had already shook his head, "There's nothing you can't hear." It's just a matter from the other side of Xianyi City. I went to them with the Sect Leader to see them before, and they sent people to block the mountain gate, not to prevent our disciples from leaving. β
He immediately began to talk about business, and Nuomi wanted to call the pillar out again, but it was too late. I had to listen to it too.
Xiao Jingyan said these things, she had already been mentally prepared, so she didn't feel too surprised, just silently waited for the words behind him.
"Xianyi City is taking this opportunity to absorb more monks who have returned from the Netherworld. Those monks had just crossed the Boundary River, and many of the teams actually had no leading monks left, just a group of monkeys. They don't know where they can go, let alone what they can do. At this time, he suddenly encountered the pull of Xianyi City, and suddenly came to Xianyi City. β
When Xiao Jingyan said these words, there seemed to be a little cold light flashing in his eyes.
Nuomi was stunned, thought about it, frowned and asked, "What does the person they have to do with us?" Even if they don't send people to block in front of our mountain gate, it won't affect them to win over the monks. β
Xiao Jingyan sneered and said slowly, "Because, they don't want the monks next to them to find the Thousand Thousand Sect." I don't know who it is, but it is rumored that there is a powerful alchemist on our immortal peak. Xianyi City's means of attracting scattered cultivators, except for that Immortal City, relied on that alchemy apprentice. If the other monks touched the Thousand Thousand Sect, they would have lost many disciples. What's more, the price of their alchemy outside is not low at all. β
"Huh? Just to do such a little thing? Nuomi was a little surprised.
Xiao Jingyan was suddenly a little speechless by her, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, and she said angrily, "You...... You...... How did this get to you, it's a trivial matter. β
"It's a small thing. Our sect had never thought of wooing the monks, and it had nothing to do with us as they tossed outside. It's this alchemy...... Is the price of their furnace really that high? "The things that Nuomi cares about are obviously not the same as Xiao Jingyan's concerns.
Xiao Jingyan instantly felt a little powerless.
Why is it a matter of life and death for the sect in his opinion, and in the eyes of Nuomi, he is so disdainful.
It's just, just after listening to Nuo Mi say that, he actually felt that what Xianyi City did didn't seem to be a big deal. They of the Thousand Thousand Sects really didn't want to recruit loose cultivators into the sect at a time like this.
ββNo, what Xianyi City is doing has nothing to do with whether the Thousand Thousand Sect wants to recruit disciples. Even if Qianrenzong didn't want to do this, he couldn't let people bully him.
Moreover, they did not recruit disciples, without Xianyi City watching from the side. At that time, they only wanted to develop steadily, and they never thought of going against a behemoth like Xianyi City.
But now that Xianyi City has already expressed its intention to fight, how can a small sect like them have a chance if they don't prepare first.
Xiao Jingyan finally felt that he had straightened out his logic, and before he could speak, he was pulled by Nuomi's sleeves and asked, "Ah Xiao, is the price of the furnace in Xianyi City really very high?" β
Being so entangled by glutinous rice and asking, Xiao Jingyan instantly forgot about the things he had just thought, recalled it, and then replied, "The price is high...... After all, in this world, even if the price is high, how many people are still crying and shouting for the furnace. Compared to the price you used to charge at the Miscellaneous Servants' Mansion, it's about five times or ten times. I didn't ask very carefully. β
ββ¦β¦ Oh. Nuomi replied in a low voice, thought about it, and suddenly laughed, "Yes, why didn't I think of it before." If it's really a busy person, they even forget how to earn spirit stones. Ah Xiao, our sect didn't want to recruit casual cultivators in the first place, Xianyi City has that ability, so let's go with them if you like to recruit as much as you like. Yes...... Can we do something else? β
Nuomi didn't wait for Xiao Jingyan to refute, and pulled Xiao Jingyan and began to talk about his ideas.
Her idea was very simple - since Xianyi City could be blocked in front of their Thousand Thousand Sect gates, of course the disciples of their Thousand Thousand Sects could also be blocked in front of Xianyi City. There are now a large number of scattered cultivators outside the city of Xianyi City, and if they do business among those people, they will definitely be able to make a lot of money.
"You...... Do you want to splice Dan with Xianyi City? That's not good. If you ask for a low price, others will naturally look for you, but this is simply a direct tear of the face of Xianyi City. I'm afraid we won't have a good time in the future, right? Xiao Jingyan listened to Nuomi's words and immediately began to shake his head.
"Oh, Ah Xiao, why are you ...... Didn't you teach me before, that you should hang good things high and sell them, and that would be good. Can't figure it out now? Glutinous rice glanced at Xiao Jingyan a little strangely, "Who said I want to lower the price." I'm going to raise the price high, even higher than the one in Xianyi City. β
Xiao Jingyan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses, grabbed Nuomi's shoulder and said, "You mean you want to take on some jobs that Xianyi City can't take?" β
Before Nuomi could answer, the pillar had already taken a step forward without knowing life and death, and stood right behind Nuomi, looking down at Xiao Jingyan condescendingly.
Xiao Jingyan realized that his movements were a little too much, and he quickly let go of his hand with a dry smile.
Nuomi didn't care, nodded with a smile, and said, "I only take those jobs that Xianyi City can't take." But whatever they will, I will give it to them at the original price. They don't even allow others to do the work they can't do. This is an act that provokes the anger of the public. βRO
