Li Weihui stroked the long hair on his chin, and asked with some puzzlement: "Elder Helian, it is said that this cryptoptera is really not a good choice for a plotter, just the poisonous insects that I know below, there are no less than a hundred species in our Beihai cultivation world, which is enough to deal with an ordinary person." However, this cryptoptera is very rare in the overseas cultivation world, and in terms of value, just to deal with an ordinary martial artist, using the cryptoptera is a completely loss-making business. ”

Helian Jun said, "Then according to Elder Li's opinion, there is another hidden story in the matter of this cryptopteryx?"

Li Weihui shook his head: "The hidden truth in this is impossible to guess below." However, from the perspective of common sense, the person who released the cryptoptera is either a novice in insect control, or has ulterior motives. Moreover, this cryptoptera can only secrete toxins when it becomes an adult, but the adult worm cannot fly and can only pupate on the spot. For Cryptoptera, this pupation means the end of life. Adults only have half a day to reproduce, but you don't find any traces of another cryptoptera around, which is enough to show that this cryptoptera is a one-time consumable. ”

Shou Wang said on the side: "Elder Li, according to what you said, the reason why this cryptoptera only poisoned my Uncle Wu is a coincidence?"

Helian Jun didn't believe this speculation a little: "How is this possible? If it's just a coincidence, how could this Cryptoptera Worm appear on the Star Island, didn't Elder Li say that this Cryptoptera is a bug that only exists in Kyushu?"

Li Weihui said: "Elder Helian, I know that it is difficult for you to accept this matter now, but after analyzing it, we can find that the reason why this cryptoptera attacked your subordinates is not an inevitable result. Think about it, if only one of your subordinates dies, the toxin of this cryptoptera can only poison one person, and the life span of the adult insect is half a day. But in the end, only one of your subordinates dies, which is somewhat in line with the habits of the Cryptoptera, it must be something on your subordinates that attracts the Cryptoptera, or threatens the survival of the Cryptoptera, so the Cryptoptera will attack him. ”

Going around and around, things are back to square one, although the reason for Wu Ke's death has been figured out, but now it is a little long before Wu Ke's death, and his body is estimated to have long since turned into white bones, and it is impossible to see what attracted the attack of the cryptopteryx. And what can be found now is to check around the Gu Mansion to see if you can find out why the Cryptoptera came here.

Helian Jun said, "Okay, thank you Elder Li for solving your doubts. I'll wait here to see if there's anything strange around. ”

Turning his head and about to walk out, he heard Li Weihui say, "Elder Helian, you wait a while." It's been almost discussed in this house, and that Hao City Lord has now drawn up a charter with Elder Shen, won't you come and listen to it?"

Helian Jun waved his hand and said, "I'll leave this matter to Elder Shen, Senior Brother called me to come, that is, to show you the way, since I have arrived in Star City, my task is almost complete." For the rest of the time, let me find out the cause of Wu Qi's death in order to comfort his soul in the sky!" After speaking, he left with Shouwang and Hao Zhicheng again.

Li Weihui smiled bitterly in the back, and said in his heart: "This Elder Helian is really relieved. I thought that the palace master sent him to supervise Shen Da and them, but I didn't expect it to give him a leave to visit his relatives. But who knows, someone will actually release a cryptoptera, a thing that for monks, they will be able to follow the Tao if they are not careful. "He knows so much about the Cryptoptera because of that ancient book, it is recorded that a foundation building monk who refined Gu poisoned a monk who had reached the early stage of Jindan through the Cryptoptera. However, Li Weihui carefully looked at the insect cocoon on Helian Jun's hand, but the adult worm in it had been dead for a long time, but he could still vaguely detect that the body was only through simple refining methods, and it could not pose a threat to the monks above the qi cultivation period at all.

Li Weihui shook his head, put this matter aside, and walked back to the hall, where the discussion between Shen Da and Hao Tong and the others had come to an end, and the rest of the people except Shen Er and Shen San actively participated in the discussion, the rest of the internal affairs hall elders were closing their eyes and recuperating, thinking that they did not have much advice on the outcome of the discussion. Not to mention the three generations of disciples, except for Shou Jing and Song Lian, who were now all in cultivation, listening intently, the rest of the people were either in a daze on the side, or they were looking at their own Xuanguang mirror, and they were not interested in the result of the discussion at all.

It's not that these disciples are not interested in recruiting new disciples at all, it's just that after all, there are so many elders here, and there is no need for them to remind them of important places, these elders can know about them, and in the trivial places, there is no need for them to make suggestions, the city lord named Hao Tong can check and fill in the gaps by himself, so they are also happy and relaxed.

Seeing Li Weihui walk in with an inexplicable face and sit on his own chair, Zhu Ming on the side asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Weihui shook his head: "This matter is a little strange, it is still unclear for a while, wait for Elder Helian to say it himself." After all, it's not a matter of our Sanqing Palace, it's a private matter of Elder Helian, and I don't want to act as a substitute. ”

Zhu Ming nodded indifferently, and didn't continue to inquire, he thought that Helian Jun had returned to his old place and had something important to solve. He said: "Wei Hui, you see that Shen Da and they are quite energetic! I don't know what kind of prospects the palace master promised them to make them work so hard. ”

Li Weihui glanced at Zhu Ming: "Don't be sour, you don't know the temper of the palace master, it must be that these three brothers went to the palace master to tell the palace master about the Kunyu people coming to our Fangcun Mountain, so it is estimated that the palace master has already thought about it, and these three brothers thought that they said that the palace master was moved." ”

Zhu Ming shook his head amusedly: "Although these three brothers are a little honest, they are quite admirable for their seriousness in things. According to what Elder Qingxuan said at the beginning, after they just came out of the palace master, they went to Elder Qingxuan to ask for advice, and they really knew how to find someone. There are so many people in our Sanqing Palace, if you want to say that you know the most about the sect, Elder Qingxuan knows a lot. ”

Li Weihui nodded and said: "Don't think that these people are really stupid, just too lazy to care, if they are really stupid, can they still practice to this point? It's just some means to confuse people, you see the two of us, in order to survive, aren't we also cautiously hiding our sense of existence!" From the time of the monk of Weimo, the two of them were the little transparent among the companions, neither the mind of fighting for power nor showing their own ideas, so they lived the easiest life.

Zhu Ming also sighed: "Hey, if we hadn't met the palace master, I don't know if we would have survived the attack of those puppets in the first place." "If you want to say that you have admiration for Qin Guan, there are endless words between the two, although it is usually not good to show this admiration in front of others, but in private, the two often talk about Qin Guan's various measures in the Sanqing Palace, and they can be regarded as Qin Guan's two older fans.

The two of them were still talking, and Shen Da and the others over there had already finished their discussion, and they heard Shen Da say: "Everyone, I have finished discussing with City Lord Hao, you can hear what the final result is?" The rest of them all nodded, put down the matter at hand, and listened to him intently.

Shen Da said: "Our Sanqing Palace recruited disciples in the Star City this time, and I discussed the number with the Hao City Lord, and it was set at three thousand. However, City Lord Hao said that this Star City is the life of tens of thousands of people, most of them are still merchants, and they are used to the life of big fish and meat, and they can't stand the hardships of cultivation at all, so our main target is still the common people. However, there are not many young people on the island, and we need to expand the scope, what do you think?"

Everyone was talking, and Liu Minqing said first: "Elder Shen, this island where there are very few mortals living within a hundred miles around the Star Island, if the scope is expanded, what will happen to the people who want to come to the Star City to participate in this grand event?"

Hao Tong said: "This immortal master doesn't have to worry, I just put forward an idea, I don't have much else in Star City, that is, there are a lot of ships coming and going, and I can let these ships share the task of transporting people, and this ship is out of Star City." In fact, what he said about sharing the shipping fare is to let these ships that transport people reduce taxes according to the number of people transported. Originally, on the dock, there were deacons from the city lord's mansion to inspect the goods loaded by the ships and collect taxes, which was nothing more than a reduction or exemption, which was not a big deal. After all, these people in Sanqing Palace, but Helianjun's sect, Hao Tong didn't dare to let Sanqing Palace suffer, for fear that his father would punish him. Don't look at Hao Zhicheng, who is respectful to Helianjun, but at home, he is the most important patriarch, although Hao Tong has been the city lord for five years, he is still in awe of Hao Zhicheng as always.

The people of Sanqing Palace were a little embarrassed, after all, it was their own business in Sanqing Palace, how could they let the city lord of Star City pay for it, but let them pay for it, they had no money to pay, if they said that they brought a lot of spirit stones, but the gold and silver in the world were fine, and they monks would have no inventory.

Or Shoujing put forward an idea: "City Lord Hao, we can't afford this fare, but we can't let the City Lord's Mansion suffer, which is inconsistent with the concept of our Sanqing Palace." It's better to be like this, Elder Shen should have brought a lot of small objects produced by the Refining Hall, although for us, these small objects can not play a big role, but for mortals, they are all interesting and good things. ”

Shen Da patted his head and said, "Indeed, Elder Dong gave me a lot of small things that my disciples usually refine before I came out, although they are not of much effect on the monks, but they are all good things for mortals to use." As he spoke, he took out a lot of things from his bag.

Hao Tong was a little confused, and asked, "Immortal Master, what are these things?"

Shen Da actually didn't know much, he didn't look down on these things, and said hesitantly: "This...... This, let's let Shoujing introduce it. ”

Shou Jing smiled indifferently and said, "Hao City Lord, please see, this is a jade pendant I refined a few days ago, it has the effect of calming the mind and calming the qi, and it can also prolong life if worn for a long time." Hao Tong hurriedly took the jade pendant in his hand, stuffed it in his arms without thinking, and said: "This thing is just right for my father, he has been sleeping hard recently, and it is just right to wear this thing." ”

Shoujing continued to take out an object: "It's good to use it together." This thing is an ice box refined by my junior brother, and although it is only able to keep the contents fresh for a long time, it is very interesting. "This ice box is refined uprightly, although for the spirit grass and the spirit pill, the effect is not obvious, but for ordinary food or herbs, it can be kept for a long time without rotting, and it is suitable for people with deep pockets.

Then, he introduced a lot of things, all of which were novelties that were suitable for the merchants in Star City, which made Hao Tong's eyes shine. However, Hao Tong also knows that these things can't all be left to him, no matter what, some of them have to flow out, so that others can be stained, it is estimated that this is also the purpose of Sanqing Palace, otherwise how a cultivation sect can win the trust of ordinary people, not only depends on being able to have a longer lifespan, but also on letting ordinary people see the benefits. These small objects are scattered, not only can the ordinary people flock to it, but also make those wealthy businessmen tempted, and will not prevent their children from coming to sign up, after all, they also understand that just making these small things can be regarded as mysterious immortals among ordinary people, and they can easily have a good life.

The matter of the ship fee was settled, and then Shen Da said: "Since we have determined the number of these personnel, it is time to talk about the regulations for recruiting disciples." According to my calculations with City Lord Hao, to recruit 3,000 disciples, there must be about 10,000 people to sign up in order to select almost suitable candidates. However, this will require a large-scale selection meeting, which will have to be judged by you. ”

The selection meeting, this made the three generations of disciples a little excited, but they didn't expect that they would also be able to judge others. However, Shou Jing said: "Since Elder Shen has already decided, how should this selection conference be selected? Where are the criteria?"
