454. Change strategy
After the hunting convention, Jackdaw Mountain fell eerily silent.
Lingyu was very puzzled, she clearly remembered that there were three people, but only two were found that day, and what about the other one? Are they giving up and not looking for it?
She pondered it as she cast a spawning spell.
Could it be that they didn't even know there was a third person?
After thinking about it, it's really possible. Three people appeared in Frozen Hetan that day, and she was the only one who saw this, and the monks of the three major families arrived later. They only found traces of their hands in Frozen Crane Pond, and they didn't know who had done it with whom, maybe they thought it was only two people.
So, there is someone who, like her, is hiding in Jackdaw Mountain, waiting for an opportunity?
This state is really hair-proletting......
Originally, I thought that this time I came to Da Mengze to do a very simple thing, but I didn't expect to be involved in such a complicated incident - no, she hasn't been involved yet, whether it is the infiltrator or the three major families, they don't know about her existence, but the place where this incident happened is in Frozen Crane Pond, which has become an obstacle for her to find that strange stone.
Trouble, this matter is not over, how dare she continue to search? But if you have to wait, who knows when it will subside? She's not in a hurry, but she can't waste time indefinitely.
There is also the attitude of the three major families, will they strengthen their vigilance in the future? Monk Jiedan is not afraid, but he is afraid that Brother Yuanying will be idle and bored......
At dinner in the evening, Fang He happily said to her: "Sister Cheng, the reward has been handed down, and later, we will go to Steward Shi to receive it." Saying that, he was a little distressed, "It's actually kept by the steward of Shi, I'm afraid we won't be able to take all the ......."
Shi Guan is harsh and greedy. It can be called goose plucking. Something had hit him in his hand. It is impossible not to leave a little "road money".
Lingyu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly found out the reason why she had fallen into a predicament.
She is just an ordinary Qi Refining Scattered Cultivator now, and there is no way to know the news from the high-level. There are all Qi refining cultivators who manage the medicine field like her, and Jiang Yuanbai, who is well-informed, only knows low-level news.
Even the issuance of rewards is such a thing, which is only known at the end, how to feel the attitude of the quasi-high-level?
No way. We need to change that. I wanted to keep a low profile before, but now that the situation has changed, I have to bring myself close to the top.
How? Leaving Jackdaw Mountain and redressing as a high-level casual cultivator to take refuge in it, this is obviously not okay. Not to mention the sudden disappearance of "Cheng Junying", which may attract the attention of others, high-level casual cultivation to join the family, there must be a period of doubt, and this period of doubt will not be short, she doesn't want to waste time.
Now "build the foundation" words. It's not suitable, her current cultivation. There are only eight layers of qi refining, and the sudden foundation building is even more suspicious.
If you don't take refuge in it, and you can't improve your cultivation, you can only use some talents to gain the favor of high-level figures.
What talents do you want to use? Lingyu touched the talisman pen in the Qiankun bag.
She is not good at many things, and most of the miscellaneous studies are learned by the ancestor Canghua Zhenren after the knot. Canghua Zhenren stayed in the middle of the Yuan Infant for more than 400 years and was proficient in miscellaneous studies, which were accumulated over time.
She has a good teacher and can get started quickly, but when it comes to level, she spends most of her time on cultivation and is far from being proficient. The only exception is talisman making, she has a natural sensitivity to runes, and there is a medicine king inkstone to improve the success rate of talisman making, even if Canghua is a real person, she dare not say that her talisman making skills must surpass her.
Moreover, whether it is refining weapons or alchemy, it is very troublesome, and talisman making is the easiest.
Lingyu has decided, it's a talisman making!
But how can this be publicized and attract the attention of the higher-ups? No, the goal can't be set too high, it's best to choose a monk with a special identity in the foundation building period, so that it won't be too abrupt......
"How many nuns do you want?" Xu Xiangyong frowned and looked at Xu Wenxuan in front of him.
"What, can't you?" Xu Wenxuan held the teacup and asked lazily. There was a little impatience in his tone, as if Xu Xiangyong was just an ordinary and mediocre monk, not the head of the Xu family.
Xu Xiangyong's brows furrowed even deeper, but he didn't bother with Xu Wenxuan. He is hundreds of years older than Xu Wenxuan, and he has a gentle personality, even if he is a little unhappy, he will not hate him.
Xuan Gongzi's temperament, who in the Xu family doesn't know? Relying on the favor of the ancestors, he has never taken others seriously. Other than that, he didn't do anything excessive, just turn a blind eye.
"Brother Xuan, didn't you just ask for three furnaces a month ago?"
Xu Wenxuan waved his hand, even more impatient: "What is the use of those furnace tops?" The qualifications are so poor! ”
Xu Xiangyong was silent for a moment, and said euphemistically: "There are not many outstanding Qi refining disciples in this generation, and the proportion of foundation building has decreased in recent years, and the ancestor has already admonished ...... last time."
"Don't talk to me about these things!" Xu Wenxuan paused the teacup in his hand, wrinkled his brows and asked, "Grandpa asked me to ask for someone, do you give it or not?" ”
Xu Xiangyong endured it and said: "There are not only these female disciples with good qualifications and passable cultivation, but some may not be worse than them, but their cultivation is slightly lower, so it's better to pick those." ”
Xu Wenxuan listened to it and was very dissatisfied: "Since it may not be worse than them, why change people?" ”
Persuaded here, he still didn't listen, no matter how good Xu Xiangyong's temperament was, he couldn't bear it anymore: "These few are either the tenth layer of qi refining or the completion of qi refining, and after a year or two, maybe they will build a foundation, what is the difference between this and taking a foundation building female cultivator to make up for you?" Our Xu family is not rich enough to this extent, and even the female cultivator of Zhuji can use it as a furnace! ”
Xu Xiangyong's already red face turned even redder, his nose moved slightly, and he glared at Xu Wenxuan, which meant that he would turn his face if he disagreed.
The consequences of an honest person being provoked are very strict, Xu Xiangyong is indecisive, but he has a tendon, and once he turns his face, he can't pull it around. And Xu Wenxuan also knew that if he really asked Xu Xiangyong to run to the ancestor of the Xu family to complain, the ancestor would definitely not favor him.
The reason why the ancestor loved him was only because his qualifications were the highest among his brothers and sisters, and if his actions affected the family, the ancestor's favor would be immediately reduced.
Xu Wenxuan was not a stupid person, so he said: "Since the chief manager said so, what else can I do?" The tone is obedient, the tone is still unpleasant, and he doesn't want to fall behind.
Xu Xiangyong was too lazy to bother to speak, and glanced at the steward next to him, and the steward handed over the list of disciples: "The qualifications are middle and upper, and the cultivation is below the eighth layer, you can choose whatever you want." ”
It was another evening, and at the end of the day's work, Fang He took the book out of the wooden house, ready to go outside to read it. As a monk, it is not possible not to be erudite, and the Xu family is also generous in this regard, and non-Gongfa books are free to borrow.
She moved a chair out and found that Lingyu was already sitting in the setting sun, holding an inferior talisman pen, carefully drawing talismans.
"Hey," Fang He became interested, "Sister Cheng, do you know how to make talismans?" ”
Lingyu finished drawing the rattan talisman in his hand, put down the talisman pen, and replied, "Yes." ”
Fang He stepped forward and looked at the rattan talisman and exclaimed: "It's not worse than what is sold in the store, Sister Cheng, since you know how to make talismans, why don't you sell talismans?" ”
Talisman makers are very popular in Damengze, and many low-level monks can't afford to buy spiritual weapons, so they will buy a few spiritual runes for self-defense. Drawing talismans is not so easy to learn, and it is no exaggeration to say that every talisman maker is piled up with money. In Lingcang and Xingluo, talisman makers are not too rare, but in Damengze, except for the children of the family, who will learn talisman making?
Lingyu looked stunned: "In the past, in order to provide for my cultivation, the master always worked very hard to make talismans, and his body was broken. Before he died, he told me that talisman making is only an auxiliary way, and that you must not abandon the basics. By the end, tears were glistening in the corners of his eyes.
Fang He both envied and sighed: "Your master is so good......
"Isn't it? If it weren't for Master, how could I be where I am today? It is my greatest luck to meet Master......" Lingyu said silently in her heart, Master, the apprentice is not a curse for you, just making up a story to deceive the little girl.
Fang He quickly focused his attention on the spirit rune and said, "Sister Cheng, you should have said it early if you know how to use talismans, I heard that there is a talisman hall in the family, and the treatment is good." ”
"Really?" Lingyu regretted, "I thought I couldn't pick it." ”
Fang He said: "There are too few of our big Mengze talisman makers, even within the family!" I used to want to study, but I didn't have the money or the talent. I heard that to learn runes, you must first learn to dismantle runes, which seems to be very profound......"
"This is not difficult, if you want to learn, I will teach you."
"Really?" Fang He's face was full of surprise, and then he was a little worried, "This talisman making technique was passed on by your master, isn't it very good to teach me......
"It's okay, my master is not so stingy. If you're embarrassed, do me a favor! ”
Fang He was overjoyed: "Sister Cheng, you say, I will try my best to help." ”
Lingyu's eyes rolled: "You help me preach it, as long as you provide three copies of rune paper and rune ink, you can let me draw any kind of spirit rune." ”
Fang He was stunned: "Sister Cheng, if you paint finished products to sell, won't you make more money?" "Three for one, we must maintain a one-third success rate in order not to lose.
Lingyu sighed and said, "Isn't this poor? The hunting meeting is over in a mess, and the rewards are not much, and I don't have that much money to buy rune paper and rune ink......"
"I see." Fang He thought about it, "This is not bad, it takes time to sell talismans, it is a troublesome matter, sell it directly to the store, and it can't be sold at a price, in case you press the goods, you will lose money." It's good that the drawn talisman won't be sold for ......."
With Fang He's enthusiastic help, the news that Lingyu would be able to make talismans quickly spread throughout the medicine field. At first, everyone treated this matter as a new thing, and no one asked her to make a talisman. After all, everyone is a monk of the Xu family, and if she really can't make a talisman, it won't be easy for her to make compensation because of her face. Rune paper and rune ink are not cheap!
After a few days, someone finally came to her to make talismans, and this person was Jiang Yuanbai.
At this time, Xuan Gongzi rummaged through the list of disciples, looking at each other one by one, looking for a suitable furnace ding...... (To be continued......)
