Chapter 227: Take the initiative to ask for help
"Tianshui Jiao!" Yuan Ming saw the things inside the jade box through the soul crow, and his eyes lit up.
When he first entered the Eastern Regions, he once heard a shop owner talk about this thing in Fang City, saying that this day the water gelatin is produced in the deep sea seabed, spiritual power, earth veins, temperature, water pressure and other conditions can be formed, it is very rare, a small piece needs seven or eight hundred spirit stones to buy, and there is no market.
"Elder Bai put this thing away, the poor Dao is the master of the Xuanhua Meditation, shouldering the mission of the ancestors of the past generations, and he dare not forget it, the incense-making classics of the Tianben Sect will never be sold." Xuanhua Zhenren shook his head firmly and said.
Bai Lin's face sank, and he said coldly: "Xuanhua Daoist, Bai has opened the conditions to this extent, you don't know how to lift!" When it comes to the root of this matter, it is still that you failed to complete one hundred seven-step commissions on time, which ruined Bai's major affairs, which led to the current situation, even if you go to Tieyunguan to confront you, you don't have the slightest reason at all! Xuanhua Zhenren's face turned red.
"That beast has been frightened, lurking in the nest and refusing to come out, for today's plan, only by using your Xuanhua Concept's incense-making classics and asking the Blue Lizard Daoist to help, it is possible to hunt that beast. If this fails, neither you nor I will be able to save our lives, and if you die, the metaphysical concept will disappear, and what kind of inheritance can we talk about?" Bai Lin's eyes were cold and scary, and he said word by word.
Every time Xuanhua Zhenren heard a sentence, his face turned pale, and after Bai Lin's words were finished, a fine cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"I'll give Xuanhua Daoist one more day, and I'll come back tomorrow, I hope Daoist won't let me down, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless. Bai Lin spoke, put away the jade box and storage bag, and got up to leave.
Xuanhua Zhenren didn't have a trace of blood on his face, and sat down on the chair in the front hall in a dejected manner. There was a sound of footsteps, but it was Yuan Ming who walked in.
"Yuan Daoyou, why are you here?" Xuanhua Zhenren stood up and asked.
Don't blame Xuanhua Taoist friends. Yuan has a secret technique that allows him to listen to sounds far away. I accidentally heard the conversation between you just now, so I thought about coming over to discuss this matter with Daoyou. Yuan Chrome apologized.
Xuanhua Zhenren was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand tiredly and sat back down.
"Xuanhua Daoist, listening to the conversation you just had, it seems that because you failed to hunt a fierce beast, you and that Bai Lin senior fell into a predicament, what is the ins and outs of this matter? Yuan didn't dare to take care of other things, but when it came to hunting fierce beasts, he thought he still had some means, and he might be able to help." Yuan Ming sat down on the wall next to Xuanhua Zhenren and asked.
"You? Hunt the beast?" Xuanhua Zhenren glanced at Yuan Ming in surprise, obviously not believing it.
It's no wonder that the perfumer has been busy making incense in the secret room for many years, and he needs others to buy materials for him, and he has nothing to do with the battle. Yuan Ming smiled slightly, and pinched the trick.
A chair not far away suddenly cracked in half, and the crack was abnormally smooth, and Xuanhua Zhenren didn't see what was going on at all.
"I didn't expect Yuan Daoyou to have such means, but in this matter, I'm afraid you won't be able to help." Xuanhua Zhenren was surprised, but still shook his head and said.
"What's the point of hearing about it?" Yuan Ming did not give up and continued to ask.
"Well, it started a month ago." Xuanhua Zhenren sighed and spoke slowly.
A month ago, that Bai Lin came to the door to bring a big business, refining a hundred seven-step inverted incense, the price was quite high, but it had to be completed within ten days.
Xuanhua Zhenren was raising spirit stones to prepare spirit grass to refine the foundation spirit incense, and immediately agreed.
With the level of Xuanhua Zhenren's incense making, it was more than enough to produce a hundred seven-step sticks in ten days, but the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, on the seventh day, he had an old brain disease suddenly, and he was in a coma in the secret room for two whole days before waking up, which greatly delayed the incense-making process, and finally only refined more than 80 seven-step roots, and failed to complete Bai Lin's requirements on time.
Bai Lin wanted a hundred seven steps down, it was to hunt a whirlpool beast in the sea, this beast's strength had reached the peak of the second level, only half a step away from the third level, and its temperament was also cunning and abnormal, and it had been hiding in the undercurrent whirlpool at the bottom of the sea for many years without showing its face.
That Bai Lin didn't know what means he used, so he lured it to the surface of the sea, trapped it with a magic circle, and used it in the big array at the same time
A large number of seven steps to captivate it, and take the opportunity to kill it.
But the number of seven steps was not enough, and the vortex beast came to its senses at the critical moment, broke free from the shackles of the magic circle and fled back to the bottom of the sea, and then no matter how Bai Lin teased him, he never showed up again.
The reason why Bai Lin hunted the lacquer vortex beast was because of the orders of a monk in the Yudan period on Bailong Island, who had a violent temper, and if he couldn't bring the body of the whirlpool beast back on time, Bai Lin's life might not be guaranteed.
In desperation, Bai Lin had no choice but to ask for a Lan Xi Sanren near Ningcheng, who had reached the middle stage of foundation building, and the exercises he cultivated were good at underwater activities, and there was an underwater spirit beast to complement him, which was enough to resist the vortex beast, and maybe he could lead out the vortex beast again.
However, the blue lizard proposed that the requirement for making a move was to get the secret book of Xuanhua Temple's incense making, otherwise he would never make a move, which was why Bai Lin came to the door to persecute him.
"Xuanhua Daoist suffers from brain disease?" After hearing this, Yuan Ming asked.
"Well, it's an old problem, I'm impetuous, and I'm prone to seizures when I'm emotional, I've been taking medicine for years, and I haven't been sick for a long time, but recently for some reason, I'm often inexplicably restless, and I don't know how to make incense day and night, which caused the old disease." Xuanhua Zhenren sighed.
Yuan Ming opened his mouth, but stopped talking, and a trace of apology flashed in his eyes.
Xuanhua Zhenren's thoughts were restless during this time, perhaps due to the influence of his mind after possession.
"What are Xuanhua Daoists going to do? Do you really want to hand over your Sect's Secret Archive?" Yuan Ming asked again.
"Even if I die, I will never hand over the secret book of this sect to others!" Xuanhua real people's eyes are decisive.
"In that case, then there is only one way to hunt that vortex, I wonder if the Xuanhua Daoist knows where the vortex beast's lair is? Yuan Ming paused and asked again.
"I heard that Bai Lin say once, near the coral island in the southwest hundred miles, Yuan Daoyou really wants to hunt this beast? I appreciate your kindness, that lacquered vortex beast is strong; Even if a few foundation building period cultivators join forces, they may not be able to win, not to mention Qi refining period cultivators like you and me, I still ask Tie Yunguan to come forward and deal with this matter, it's a big deal to spend a sum of spirit stones, I don't believe in this matter." Xuanhua Zhenren shook his head and said.
"Naturally, I can't do it alone, Yuan also has a few quite powerful companions, if they make a move, there should be a good chance of success." Yuan Ming said.
"Is Yuan Daoyou really sure?" When Xuanhua Zhenren heard this, his face showed a little hope.
Although he just said that he would spend money to invite Tie Yunguan to come forward, in fact, he was not sure at all, this matter was his fault, and he did not have a deep friend in Tieyun Guan, and Tie Yunguan would not have a bad relationship with the elders of White Dragon Island because of some spirit stones to support himself. "Ten percent sure of nature is not, five or six percent is still there." Yuan Ming thought for a while and said.
If Yuan Daoyou can really hunt that vortex beast, he will be my benefactor of Xuanhua Concept, but if he asks for something in the future, the old Taoist will never refuse!" Xuanhua real people give a deep salute and solemnly promise.
"Xuanhua Daoist is serious, if I retrieve the body of the vortex beast, I think I can exchange it for Tianshui glue from the person on White Dragon Island, if Xuanhua Daoist can make more than two Zhuji spiritual incense, I hope to share it in the next one.
Whether it was to express his apologies or to refine Tsuki's incense, he was determined to hunt this vortex beast.
This beast may be tricky for others, but Yuan Ming has many methods, especially the corpse of the Heavenly Snake Venerable who is fused with the skin of the white ape, as long as he does not directly fight with the cultivation soil of the Yudan period, he is fearless.
And listening to the conversation between Xuanhua Zhenren and Bai Lin just now, the most difficult thing to hunt this beast is to lure it out of the seabed, and in this matter, he has a unique secret method. Xuanhua Zhenren naturally agreed.
"Listen to what you say, that vortex beast is cunning, I may not be able to come back tomorrow, if the monk from White Dragon Island comes again, Xuanhua Daoist friends will try to delay it for a few days." Yuan Chrome said.
No problem, just leave this little thing to me." Xuanhua real person replied. Yuan Ming nodded, got up and walked outside, and Xuanhua Zhenren personally sent him off.
Yuan Ming didn't go through the main gate where he came in before, and asked Xuanhua Zhenren to take him out of the back door.
His soul crow found out that Bai Lin had sent someone to guard outside the main gate, and Yuan Ming didn't want to be with him yet
The people of Bailong Island are in contact and avoid trouble. The two of them walked through the courtyard behind the front hall, and an attic appeared in front of them, from which they could see some tablets inside, candles burning in unison, and incense wafting in all directions. "It is an ancestral hall dedicated to the ancestors of the Buddha." Xuanhua Zhenren noticed Yuan Ming's gaze and explained.
Yuan Ming looked at a tall incense burner in the ancestral hall, which was full of incense ashes, and his eyes suddenly lit up. The amount of incense ash in the hall was too small before, but I didn't expect there to be more here.
Yuan Ming didn't say anything, continued to move forward, and soon left the Xuanhua Temple through the back door.
Half a quarter of an hour later, a figure that was difficult to see with the naked eye swept into the ancestral hall of Xuanhua Temple and came to the incense burner. The man took out a rather large jade pot, took the incense ash in the furnace nearly half, and then left the village. A Xuanhua Guan disciple walked with a broom, his footsteps suddenly stopped, he seemed to see a figure flashing by just now, but when he looked carefully, he didn't see anything, shook his head and muttered, he didn't take this matter to heart
, cleaned the ancestral hall.
The figure left the Xuanhua Temple, and soon came to a nearby uninhabited alley, and opened a gray bucket cluster, revealing his true body the most, which was naturally Yuan Ming. Looking at the jade pot in his hand, he looked happy. With so much incense ash, it will be enough for a long time in the future.
