During the unitary time, the Xiancao Pavilion opened on time, Chen San and Lu Er drank tea and chatted in the hall, and Shi Yue tasted tea and read books on the third floor.

It didn't take long for a girl in a blue dress with clear eyebrows to walk in.

Chen San hurriedly got up to greet him, and said with a smile on his face: "This senior, do you need any small service?"

"Where is Li Mubai and Li Daoyou? I have a business to discuss with him. ”

"The shopkeeper is upstairs, senior, please come with me. ”

Chen San invited the girl in the blue dress upstairs with a smile on his face, and when he came to the third floor, Chen San walked quickly to Shi Yue's side and whispered a few words.

"Okay, I see, you go down! ”

Chen San replied and bowed down.

The girl in the blue dress walked quickly to the chair beside Shi Yue and sat down, picked up a piece of spirit cake and put it in her mouth, looking like she was self-cooked.

Shi Yue chuckled lightly and said softly, "Yan'er, why did you come to me so soon?

The girl in the blue dress is none other than Li Yan.

Li Yan grinned and said, "Brother, I'm here to borrow a spirit stone from you this time." ”

"Borrow spirit stones, are the spirit stones I gave you not enough?" Shi Yue frowned slightly, puzzled.

He gave Li Yan more than 500,000 spirit stones, and it was only a few days, and Li Yan actually spent it? With his understanding of Li Yan, it was impossible!

"It's not that I want to borrow a spirit stone, but that the head uncle wants to borrow a spirit stone from you. ”

Shi Yue was confused, and said, "Uncle Master wants to borrow a spirit stone from me? What is going on?" Yan'er, you make it clear. ”

"Hehe, the head of the sect learned that the ancient sword sect was calculating our Taixu Sect, and planned to be tough with the Gu Jian Sect to the end, to put it bluntly, it is to see who has more spirit stones, let's go to other pill pharmacies to purchase pills, increase the price and sell it in the Baidan Hall, if the Gu Jian Sect is really targeting our Taixu Sect, I am sure to let the Gu Jian Sect suffer a big loss." Li Yan grinned and spoke eloquently.

Shi Yue suddenly realized and said, "So that's the case, but this sect doesn't even have the funds to maintain its operation?

"This sect is in ruins, and it is in urgent need of spirit stones, the ancient sword gate has annexed the wind and fire gate and the Caixia Valley, and the financial resources are abundant, if you don't ask for foreign help, you can't play the ancient sword gate at all, Sister Murong proposed to borrow the spirit stone from you, and the uncle in charge asked her to give it a try, and the number is not much, 600,000 spirit stones are enough, it's really not good, 500,000 is okay." ”

"600,000 spirit stones is not a difficult thing for me, but why do you want to come in person?

Li Yan blinked and quipped, "Hehe, brother, I knew you still cared about Sister Murong." ”

"You girl, when did you learn to be poor?" Shi Yue tapped Li Yan's forehead with his finger.

"Sister Murong is busy dealing with Baidantang's business, she can't leave, and her identity is too sensitive, she is worried that the Gujian Sect will send someone to monitor, so she asked me to run, hehe, brother, don't worry, when I go back, I will definitely help you say a few good words." ”

Shi Yue chuckled, took out a blue storage bag from his arms, and handed it to Li Yan: "There are 700,000 spirit stones in it, you can use it first! ”

"Got it, brother, these pastries are so delicious, I'll take them all. ”

Li Yan said and packed up all the plates of spirit cakes.

Shi Yue said a few words and let Li Yan leave.

Early in the morning of the second day, Shi Yue wandered around Feixian City, and when he passed by Baidan Hall, he walked in.

Baidantang was unusually lively, and Shi Yue carefully found many disciples of the Ancient Sword Sect who were dressed in disguise, and he didn't break it.

He observed it and found that the price of the pill taken by the Zhuji monk had increased, and the increase was not very large, and it was nothing to buy a small amount, but if he bought a large amount, it would be a large amount of spirit stones.

"It's Senior Li Mubai, Senior Li! Senior Uncle Murong is invited. Ye Chen walked over and said respectfully.

Shi Yue nodded and followed Ye Chen upstairs.

"Senior Uncle Murong, Senior Li has arrived. Ye Chen knocked on the door of a room on the third floor and said softly.

"I know, let Li Daoyou come in, you can step down!" Murong Xiaoxiao's voice came from the room.

Ye Chen answered, bowed and left.

Shi Yue pushed open the door and walked in.

Murong Xiaoxiao wore a pale cyan palace dress today, with a turquoise hairpin on her head, which looked bright and moving.

"Senior Brother Shi, you're here, sit down!" Murong Xiaoxiao smiled at Shi Yue and said sweetly.

Shi Yue nodded and sat down honestly.

"Senior Brother Shi, I like the pastries you gave me very much, you have a heart. Murong Xiaoxiao's cheeks flushed, and she said a little shyly.

"Pastries, when did I give you pastries?" Shi Yue was slightly stunned.

The smile on Murong Xiaoxiao's face suddenly froze, and she frowned, "Didn't you ask Sister Li Yan to bring me some pastries?" She said that you sent them, didn't you?"

When Shi Yue heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, he said how could Li Yan pack the pastries and take them away, it turned out that he wanted to borrow flowers to offer the Buddha and give them to Murong Xiaoxiao.

Shi Yue looked at Murong Xiaoxiao and wanted to say no, but after hesitating for a moment, he still stubbornly said, "I asked Yan'er to give it to you, I think those pastries are delicious, so I will send you some." ”

Murong Xiaoxiao's face softened, smiled and said, "It's really delicious, those pastries yesterday were salty, but I prefer to eat sweet." ”

Shi Yue smiled, didn't say anything more on this issue, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Senior Sister Murong, how is the situation in Baidantang now?

"Uncle Master sent someone to purchase a large number of pills taken during the foundation building period overnight, and sold them at a higher price, the people of the Ancient Sword Sect were really fooled, and they wantonly bought the pills sold in Baidantang, hmph, I want to see, who has more spirit stones, the master Uncle said, to the end, we must not let the conspiracy of the Ancient Sword Sect succeed. Murong Xiaoxiao said this, with a murderous look on his face.

Shi Yue nodded and said, "That's good, by the way, do you have any news about Zhou Zhenyu and Zhou Shizu?"

"No, Master Zhou should be in retreat, and he won't show up for a short time! If you want to see Master Zhou, I can help you ask Uncle Zhang, Uncle Master is very grateful to you for lending us 700,000 spirit stones, Senior Brother Shi, don't worry, I know that this is the spirit stone on the account of the Immortal Grass Pavilion, and I will return it as soon as possible." ”

"Don't worry, it's not too late to wait for this sect to get through this crisis, there are still a lot of spirit stones on the books. ”

Shi Yue chatted with Murong Xiaoxiao for a few words, and then said goodbye and left.

In the next three days, Shi Yue closed his doors, and Xiancao Pavilion opened and closed on time.

During this period, Li Yan came to report on the situation in Baidantang.

At the beginning, the Ancient Sword Sect also sent people to buy the pills sold in the Baidantang, but the number was constantly decreasing, and it was obvious that the spirit stones of the Ancient Sword Sect were not abundant.

To some extent, the Taixu Sect has achieved a certain advantage, but this situation is only temporary, the Ancient Sword Sect has annexed the Wind and Fire Gate and the Caixia Valley, and it is impossible to lack spirit stones.

......

Ancient Sword Tower, a certain secret room.

Li Haonan was reporting something to Dugu Xin, and Dugu Xin's face was a little gloomy.

"How can the Taixu Sect take out so many pills, even if they have stocks and confront the Demon Dao for three years, there won't be much of the pills left in the Taixu Sect!" Dugu Xin said with a frown.

"This ······ The disciple doesn't know, the 500,000 spirit stones have all been spent, Uncle Dugu, our people just bought out the pills on the shelves, and the disciples of the Taixu Sect immediately took out a batch, by the way, the pills of the Taixu Sect are more expensive than the ones on the market, and a few purchases are nothing, if you buy them in large quantities, but a large amount of spirit stones, the disciple guessed that the Taixu Sect probably found something, bought the pills from other pill pharmacies, put them on the Baidantang for sale, and deliberately let us buy them, so that we would suffer. ”

Dugu Xin pondered for a moment and ordered: "Forget it, stop buying the pills sold in Baidantang, sell a batch of the pills we bought, exchange them for spirit stones, and purchase the hundred-year elixir, the days will be long in the future! ”

Li Haonan breathed a sigh of relief and said flatteringly: "Uncle Dugu Mingjian, the disciple admires it." ”

Dugu Xin glanced at him, and said angrily: "Less sycophants, more work." ”

Li Haonan smiled bitterly and nodded yes.
