Chapter 42 Forming Alliances and Cooperation
It was already afternoon, and some of the stalls around had been closed, and Yan Xu was negotiating the price with two customers.
At this time, a few monks rushed from the east side of the street and rushed to Yan Xu's stall with an unkind face.
One of them was hobbling with blood on his arm, supported by his companions, with a pained look on his face.
"You're a stall owner?" The leader of the several people is a middle-aged monk, who has practiced qi at the sixth level, with a red square scarf wrapped around his head, and a thick and short figure with a few scars on his face, which looks a little bit of gangsterism.
When Yan Xu saw this person's face, he couldn't help but smile in his heart: "How can this person have the demeanor of a monk, full of bandit appearance, if he is not good, let's see what he says first." ”
"In the Xia Tianhao Sect Yan Xu, I don't know what happened to a few people?"
"Humph! My friend bought your icicle charm and was about to use it when it suddenly exploded! Several ice blades were inserted into the arm, and the injury was not light! The scar man said viciously.
The man behind him with an injured arm moaned a few times, as if to prove his case.
Yan Xu looked behind him over the scar man, and saw that the injured man was a thin young man of eighteen or nineteen, with dark skin and a cultivation level of qi refining, leaning on the person with a painful look.
What is the quality of the talisman seal that he refined, Yan Xu knows best in his heart, but if there is the slightest flaw, it will be abolished and recycled, and it is impossible to sell it on the stall.
These people obviously came to find fault on purpose, and the real purpose of the other party is probably not as simple as extorting some money.
Since the other party is acting, Yan Xu calmed down and watched how they acted.
The scar man continued to shout loudly, "Since it is caused by the icicle talisman you sold, you must not be able to escape the involvement!" ”
The angry shouts attracted the surrounding crowd to watch, pointing at the signboard of Tianhao Sect and Yan Xu.
"Tianhao Sect? Have you heard of it? ”
"Nope! Maybe it's a small sect that has just been established. ”
"Hehe, you dare to sell fakes! See what he does! ”
"Not necessarily! The devil knows what happened to the man's injury. ”
There was a lot of discussion among the onlookers, although they were not completely on the side of the scar man, but there were even fewer people who supported Yan Xu.
Seeing that the matter was making a big fuss and causing onlookers, the scar man turned around and handed his eyes to several companions, intentionally or unintentionally, looking like he had succeeded in his treacherous scheme.
The scar man glared at Yan Xu with his eyebrows, and said loudly with full of anger: "My brother's injury is not light, and the cost of treatment is less than fifty lower grade spirit stones." Acquaintance quickly take it out and get out, otherwise you will never be able to enter Nan'anfang City! ”
Yan Xu's face remained unchanged and asked, "You said that the injury was caused by the accidental explosion of the ice pick charm, but what evidence is there?" How to prove it is from here. ”
The scar man laughed a few times, obviously prepared, and naturally prepared a set of words, "The remnants of this ice pick talisman are ...... here"
Before Scar Man could finish speaking, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, followed by silence and a passageway.
Several monks dressed in the costumes of the Nan'anfang City Law Enforcement Team walked out of the gap in the crowd.
The first one was a gray-haired old man in his forties and fifties, with a ninth-level cultivation of qi refining, in addition to giving people a faint oppressive aura, his appearance and bearing were also very extraordinary.
Yan Xu secretly said in his heart, a few people pretended to be injured in front, and the law enforcement team arrived later, could it be that they colluded in advance?
If that's the case, I'm afraid it's not a good day.
"Lai Scar Five! Don't play your dirty tricks in front of the old man, hurry up and get out of me! The gray-haired old man stared at the scar man, called out his name, and spoke softly.
Although the volume was not high, this voice felt deafening in everyone's ears, especially the scar man felt that his body was locked by the breath of the old man, and he was shocked into a cold sweat.
The scar man's surname is Lai, nicknamed Lai Scar Five, who has always done some bullying things in Nan'anfang City, and he didn't dare to stay any longer when he was broken by the old man of the law enforcement team, and even claimed that he was pulling his companions and running away quickly.
The injured man, who was still dying before, was still injured at this time, and he couldn't stand steadily, and he fled with Scar Five, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
"Thank you for your help, I don't know your name?" Yan Xu saluted the gray-haired old man.
"Elder Mo Fan of Huangyao Valley, it is my turn to be on duty to enforce the law today, and you don't have to be polite when it comes to your duties." The gray-haired old man stroked his beard and smiled slightly.
Just now, Mo Fan drank away Lai Scarwu, and his aura was so severe that people didn't dare to approach, turned his head, and talked to Yan Xu without arrogance.
The other party didn't collude with Lai Scarwu and help him solve the trouble, Yan Xu had a good impression of this person, but he didn't completely relax his vigilance.
Mo Fan opened his mouth and said, "Can you have time to talk to me?" ”
Are you really coming at me? Yan Xu was suspicious.
The vigilance in his heart tightened again, but Yan Xu's face did not change much, and he replied: "It should be me who sits in the village and thank Elder Mo for his help." ”
Seeing Yan Xu's calm face, Mo Fan nodded slightly, and explained a few words to the few people behind him and asked them to return first.
Waiting for Yan Xu to clean up the stall, the old and the young found a clean teahouse, and ordered a few pastries and tea at random and sat down together.
Mo Fan took a sip of tea, looked at Yan Xu and said, "It seems that the old man is reckless, please ask Xiaoyou to have a separate interview." ”
"Elder Mo is polite, I don't know what to do, just give orders." Yan Xu said calmly.
Mo Fan didn't answer in a hurry, but took out a few talisman seals from the storage bag, put them on the table and said, "My apprentice Li Yang bought a batch of talisman seals from you today, the texture is quite good, and the price is also very suitable. ”
It turned out that the big fat man Li Yang was actually Mo Fan's apprentice, and it didn't seem so strange that the other party came because of this.
Yan Xu didn't have an interface, Mo Fan paused and continued: "The refining method is clever, I want to see who it is." Unexpectedly, on the way, you actually met Lai Scar Wu to trouble you. ”
Yan Xu arched his hand and said: "In the head of the Xia Tianhao Sect, these talismans are made by the elders I have sent to them, and it is rare to be able to enter the eyes of Elder Mo." ”
Mo Fan lowered his head with a thoughtful look, and said after a while: "Tianhao Sect, I have seen and heard about the books in the sect, but in recent decades, it seems that your sect has always been relatively low-key. ”
Ahem! Yan Xu coughed dryly a few times, and replied with a wry smile: "I won't tell you, Tianhao Sect used to be a major sect, but that was already a matter of hundreds of years, and now it is unknown. ”
Mo Fan picked up a talisman seal and said, "My Huangyao Valley is famous for alchemy, but many skills have something in common. From this talisman refining method, it can be seen that the person refining should reach the level of a junior talisman maker. ”
"In Nan'anfang City, there are only a dozen junior talismans, and there is a fixed cooperative relationship." Mo Fan continued.
"The elders of your sect can refine such talismans, they must not be ordinary people, and Tianhao Sect should not be nameless."
This Mo Fan is not a person who is an alchemist, and he can see the level of the person who makes the talisman from just a few rune seals, and his eyesight is quite vicious.
Yan Xu said: "This elder of my sect is not highly cultivated, and he has been focusing on talisman making for more than ten years. It's a pity that the resources in the door are insufficient, and he has just been promoted to a junior talisman maker, and today is the first time to sell talismans. ”
Mo Fan stroked his beard and said, "I see! Ming people don't say dark words, since today I asked Xiaoyou to get together alone, I will say it directly. ”
Yan Xu said: "Please speak!" ”
"Huang Yao Gu needs a large number of talismans in the near future, but I don't want to attract attention. If the conditions are right, I can form a cooperation with your faction on behalf of Huang Yao Valley, and all the talismans will be sold to us, and the price will never be disadvantaged. Mo Fan stopped going around in circles and directly stated the purpose of this trip.
Yan Xu put down the teacup in his hand and asked, "I don't know what the so-called conditions of Elder Mo are suitable?" ”
"The first is that the more rune seals there are, the better, and the second is that you can refine level 2 rune seals. Most importantly, this matter should not be disclosed to other sects. ”
Yan Xu frowned, and hesitated slightly in his heart for a moment.
With his own success rate, he has no worries at all, as for the second-level rune seal as long as he can advance to the eighth layer of qi refining, it is not a big problem, but the other party asks to keep it secret, I am afraid there is another hidden situation.
Agreeing to the other party is undoubtedly a big business, but there is a high potential risk.
If you don't agree to the other party, you won't be able to earn the spirit stone, and the other party will probably not be good when it comes to this.
I don't dare to talk about any development sects! Yan Xu didn't think much about it anymore, and simply replied: "No problem, but what are the requirements in terms of time?" ”
Seeing that Yan Xu agreed, and didn't ask much about the reason, Mo Fan couldn't help but look up to him a little bit in his heart, and said: "The time is best within half a year, the more runes, the better!" ”
After speaking, Mo Fan stretched out his right hand, and Yan Xu stretched out his hand very kindly, and high-fived the oath to show cooperation.
"Ding! You've completed the Sect Alliance and started a new side quest, do you want to check it out now? ”
