Chapter 52: Controversy in the Temple
"It's been four months, it's been four months, why hasn't there been any news about this Lu Xihua?" A man with a silver belt in a dark robe sat upright in the main hall, his eyes were closed, he seemed to be recuperating his breath, but his heart was extremely anxious, the top of the hall on his head was hazy, and he couldn't see it really, only a little bit of light was slightly revealed, flickering in it, "Every time this star map is opened, it consumes a huge amount of resources, and the Lord of the Xu Palace goes to the Tianshi Hall three times and twice to ask for resources, which has long caused the dissatisfaction of everyone in the hall." ”
"This time to enter the star map to seek the power of the stars was originally the whim of the hall master, thirteen people entered, only three of them got the star power back, and one person was missing, but the resources consumed were hundreds of millions, the other two deputy hall masters had long had objections to the decision of the hall master, and they all relied on the hall master to suppress it by force, if the time dragged on for a longer time, I was afraid that it would not be able to suppress it, and the hall master Xu who acted in accordance with the order was afraid that he would be the first to bear the brunt of the venting. The man was irritable in his heart, and he couldn't calm down, so he could only stand up and walk in the store again to relieve the depression in his heart, "Who is this Lu Xihua? How can he be so favored by Hall Master Xu?"
"Hall Master Xu, I didn't mean you. You have consumed too much in the past few months, and many elders in the door have opinions. This resource did not fall from the sky, but was slowly collected from various territories bit by bit. A figure dressed in yellow clothes and white robes walked in from the gate of Taiwei Palace, followed by the Lord of Xu Zhen Palace. The young man immediately stopped, stood still in front of the steps, and waited aside.
"Yes, yes, I also know that it is used a little more, and I ask the Lord of the Feng Hall to be more considerate, this trial in the hall is indeed a little more expensive. Hall Master Xu followed aside, explaining.
"Some, you have to know, your Taiwei Hall has consumed 100 million Qingying Pills! It's Qingming Pill, not Huangya Pill! It's not the Five Elements Pill, it's not Ziyang Pill! One Qingying Pill is worth a thousand Yellow Ya Pills, and 100 million Qingying Pills are 100 billion Yellow Ya Pills!" The total number of disciples of my Taiyi Sect is only 500,000, and 100 billion Yellow Bud Pills are spread on the heads of each disciple, which is 200,000, which is enough for them to eat for a hundred years, that is, a pig, and the Yellow Bud Pill that has been eaten for a hundred years in a row can build a foundation, and those who have a little aura are afraid that they can form a Dan. Hall Master Xu, do you know?!"
"Our Taiwei Hall and your Tianshi Hall have not had much contact, and our disciples have handed over the confiscated magic weapons and spiritual weapons to you for sale, why do you come to give us a pound now?"
The Tianshi Hall is equivalent to a super-large chamber of commerce in the Taiyi Gate, and they are all engaged in the cultivation of elixirs, the refining of elixirs, the creation of magic weapons, the refining of spiritual weapons, and the sale of goods. Taiwei Hall is regarded as the law enforcement department and external force of Taiyi Gate, and it is indispensable to have friction with other sects, and it is more about opening up the sect's sphere of influence, and competing for resources with those demons and aliens, so there are a lot of loot, which are basically handed over to Tianshi Hall to take care of, and the two sides are mutually beneficial and have a good relationship.
"Alas, Hall Master Xu, I didn't mean you, your own net worth can be 100 million Qingming Pills? This time, the Qingming Pills for you are not plain, they are refined by our alchemists one by one, and it takes ten days to open the furnace every time, and there are a lot of waste products in the middle, how many alchemists do we have in Taiyimen? There are less than 1,000, and less than 200 can refine the Qingming Pill, and it is 500,000 pills on the heads of each alchemist, where can they be supplied? ! The Lord of Fengdian looked like a very kind person, but when he talked about it, his eyebrows and mustache wrinkled together, obviously embarrassing him.
"Do you still need to supply other pills consumed within the sect? Do you still need to deliver other orders outside the sect? You are in such a hurry, our Tianshi Hall had no choice but to take a lot of resources and materials to exchange with other sects, and only then did we get back 100 million Qingming Pills, and it was nothing to suffer some losses in the middle, but the elders' worship pill materials in the sect could not be supplied, so there were many complaints. This Qingming Pill is not a low-level pill like the Five Elements Pill and the Ziyang Pill, it is the backbone of the Horned Jupiter Domain, and it is in the greatest demand, and many Yuan Infant and Divine Transformation Stage monks rely on it to cultivate. It's not that you don't know the situation inside the door, once the supply is not available, there will be contradictions, and it is not your Taiwei Hall that is unlucky. By the way, is there something big going on in the door? Our hall master was urgently summoned to the Ziwei Hall to discuss matters, and you Si Zhenren also went, right?"
"It seems that something happened to the previous trial place, and many of the inner disciples who were temporarily selected this time have broken off their connection with the trial land, and the star mark has disappeared. The hall master Si Zhenren arranged for the batch of disciples selected by the Taiwei Hall to enter the star map in a hurry, just to strike while the iron was hot, let them communicate with the stars, and increase the attraction of the star mark of the land of trials. Who knows, thirteen people entered, only three of them succeeded, and one disciple has not yet come out. If the disciple doesn't come out for a day, we can't close the star map for a day, otherwise, wouldn't the disciple be lost in the vast starry sky and become an outcast?" The people in the same hall are all partners, this is Si Zhenren's consistent proposition, who knows that now because of the disappearance of a disciple, it is difficult for the Taiwei Palace to ride a tiger, and it consumes a lot of resources to open the star map every day.
"It's been four months, and there's no news at all? Could it be that he's dead?" Lord Fengdian has always looked down on the stupid practices of Taiwei Palace, and he is used to seeing the fraudulent transactions of the shopping mall, for him, there is only a clear and definite interest relationship between people and sects, and the stupid friendship theory of Taiwei Palace, he is disdainful in his heart, and the people of Taiwei Hall are all fools.
Hall Master Xu shook his head, "The items we distributed when we set off this time have left a little breath on them in advance, one or two pieces are in danger and damaged, there is no problem, as long as there is one left, the life and death of the disciple can be determined." The talisman left behind by us shows that the disciple's aura is still there, but he has lost contact in the star map, and he doesn't know what danger he encountered. ”
The Fengdian Lord smiled, "Haha, this can be regarded as the most expensive disciple of your Taiwei Palace, tsk, 100 million Qingying Pill, hehe, I can buy a broken Dao weapon for the sect at the Star Field Auction." ”
"Hall Master Xu~" The young man with the silver belt in Xuanyi bowed to the side, saw the two deputy hall masters coming, and hurriedly spoke.
Xu Zhen nodded, "Lu Xihua still has no news?" Although it is a daily inquiry, I already know the result in my heart, if there is really news, I am afraid that these disciples will be in a hurry to return to him.
"Nope. The young man did not dare to speak loudly, but after answering in a low voice, he stopped speaking, for fear of causing the hall master to be unhappy somewhere.
The Lord of Fengdian looked up at the top of the main hall, "You are generous, the star map is fully open, no wonder the daily consumption is so terrifying, and you Si Zhenren is so atmospheric, but now I can't bear it." I also know that you Taiwei Hall has no progress, and you rely on fighting demons outside to gain some resources. There are a lot of people, and the consumption is not small. Your Wang Hall Lord and Lu Hall Lord have already sent me letters to ask why the public high school ration has dropped recently. In fact, the main reason is that the proportion of the Qingming Pill has decreased, although the quota of other low-grade pills has increased, but for them, the Divine Transformation Cultivators, the Qingying Pill is a useful thing, so naturally there is some resentment, you real people should pay attention. ”
"I will definitely convey the kindness of the Lord of the Feng Hall to the Lord of the Palace, thank you for the help of the Lord of the Feng Palace. Xu Zhen bowed his hand slightly, expressing his gratitude.
The Lord of Fengdian looked at it for a while, the star map on the top of the main hall was hazy, and it was still the same unclear appearance, so he suddenly lost interest, turned to Xu Zhen and said, "Seven days, I will give you another seven days of star map consumption resources, no more, only seven days." If Taiwei Hall still wants to contact this disciple, then fill it in with your own net worth. There are only so many decisions of the sect, otherwise it will really affect the operation of the entire sect, so think about it yourself!"
"This~" Xu Zhen was a little embarrassed, "The Lord of Fengdian really can't be accommodating?"
The Feng Hall Lord said with a smile, "As soon as your star map is opened, it will be one million Qingying Pills every day, which is enough for a god-transforming cultivator to cultivate for a year." Although you and I have a lifespan of five or six thousand years, most of the time is spent on cultivation, waiting to impact a higher realm, how can there be so much time to collect resources, and the pills can be saved. Who is willing to take an unknown result to delay their cultivation. Before I came, the hall master had already instructed me, this is the decision of our Tianshi Palace, you disciples of the Taiwei Palace, the current situation has exceeded the scope of the sect's rescue, and we have done our best. If you want to save it, you can only use your own resources to save it. ”
Speaking of this, Lord Fengdian patted Xu Zhen on the shoulder, "Lord Xu, think about it, long pain is better than short pain, think about it and see if it's worth it." Even if this disciple succeeds in coming back, obtains the power of the stars, and cultivates into a god-transforming monk, then can you guarantee that he can treat the Taiwei Hall without reservation like he is today, treat the sect, and contribute more than 100 million Qingying pills to the sect?"
Speaking of this, the Lord of Fengdian walked back as he spoke, "We won't do the loss-making business in the Tianshi Palace, and we won't do it in the Taiyi Gate, there are still so many disciples to raise in the door, don't you have pressure on you?"
"If you don't do it, we will do it! Our Taiwei Hall will not give up any disciple!" As soon as a cold voice finished speaking, a ray of light flew from the Taiwei Palace, as fast as lightning, falling into the hall, bursting out of ten thousand points of golden light, the golden light dispersed, and a woman in palace clothes revealed her figure, dressed in a beautiful costume, but the surrounding space was a little black silk from time to time, and it was clear that the space was constantly breaking and converging.
The Feng Hall Lord was taken aback by the voice, and immediately understood who the person was, so he immediately bent down and saluted, and said in his mouth, "Feng Changgeng of the Tianshi Hall has seen Si Zhenren. ”
Hall Master Xu and the young man also hurriedly saluted.
"Xu Zhen, after seven days, there is still no news from Lu Xihua, so you can use the pill in the jade talisman as a supplement. The woman's voice was cold, and no one could refuse.
Xu Zhen obeyed. Xu Zhen took the jade talisman and explored it, there were countless pills densely piled up inside, surrounded by green qi, dark inside and bright outside, it was the Qingming Pill, there were 100 million of them.
The master of the Feng Hall was still persuading Xu Zhen to give up the disciples of the Taiwei Hall just now, but he was caught by the master of the Taiwei Palace, and he felt bored, and immediately opened his mouth to praise, "Si Zhenren is really an example for us, and the heart of a villain Feng is really ashamed." However, the previous decision was a joint discussion of the sect, and I ask Si Zhenren not to mind. ”
The woman nodded, "The real people in the Ziwei Hall have already mentioned this matter, so naturally I won't blame you." ”
Feng Changgeng exhaled quietly, "Since Si Zhenren understands the difficulties of our waiting, it is really good, there are still complicated things to deal with in the Tianshi Palace, Rong Feng said goodbye." After saying this, Feng Changgeng was about to leave.
Suddenly, His Highness bowed his head and stood still in front of the steps, and the young man in the dark clothes and silver belt pretending to be an invisible person shouted, "Lu Xihua's jade talisman has reacted!"
When the three people in the hall heard the sound, they immediately looked at the young man, and saw that the young man was holding a Dao talisman in his hand, and the white light on it was flickering regularly, as if a person was breathing, it was the Dao talisman of the lost disciple Lu Xihua.
Suddenly, the Dao Talisman was from the bottom to the top, and a line of fire meandered forward, burning the Dao Talisman to a fine light, and finally turned into a ball of light and cast it on the star map at the top of the hall.
"It's coming out!" Hall Lord Xu shouted in a low voice.
"Lu Xihua is back!" the young man shouted involuntarily, after many days of waiting, he finally had a result, but he didn't know if this new disciple had comprehended the power of the stars.
Feng Changgeng smiled slightly, and immediately stopped, he also wanted to see what this disciple who spent 100 million Qingming Pill in Taiwei Hall looked like, and he deserved to be treated like this by Taiwei Palace.
