Chapter Fifty-Six: Hospitality
Xuanjizi and all the disciples were stunned, especially Xuanjizi was even more mixed, he knew that Ah Li had recovered his memory, and he was worried about the fire for the first time, but when he saw Ah Li's thin and beautiful face and dusty temperament, his heart softened, and he hurriedly took two steps forward to help Ah Li.
Xuanjizi said: "Good boy, you have lost weight, the ground is cold, get up quickly." ”
Ah Li's eyes immediately turned red, although she and Xuanjizi didn't get along for a long time, she respected Xuanjizi very much, not only because he was Tianhuo's master, but also because she could feel the feeling of relatives in Xuanjizi.
Tu Shanchong was also surprised that Ah Li had recovered his memory, but he didn't ask much, he didn't know that Xuan Jizi and Ah Li were not masters and apprentices, and after seeing Ah Li stand up, he also stepped forward to greet Xuan Jizi.
Xuanjizi met Tu Shanchong when he was in Xuanyuan's tomb, and the two sides were not strangers, Xuanjizi was very enthusiastic about Tu Shanchong, and specially introduced him to the disciples of the Xuanji faction, in fact, he took the opportunity to let Ah Li know his senior brother, so as not to show his feet in front of Tu Shanchong.
Ah Li heard Tianhuo tell many deeds of his senior brothers, they are both familiar and unfamiliar with them, and they can be called on the senior brothers with obvious characteristics, such as Lu Qiming.
When Xuanjizi introduced the disciples to Tu Shanchong, Ah Li bowed to all the senior brothers, and then naturally walked to the most marginal position of the senior brothers and stood up, showing his respect for the senior brothers and showing that he was a disciple of the Xuanji faction.
Tianhuo's senior brothers had a very good first impression of this cold and beautiful cheap junior sister, because she didn't have a trace of fox cultivation's charm at all, and she was completely worthy of Tianhuo in terms of appearance, and then saw that she consciously stood at the end of the queue and felt that she was well-behaved and sensible, no wonder the master was worried that the junior brother and Ah Li secretly fell in love.
Tu Shanchong was very enthusiastic, and he took the initiative to shake hands with every second-generation disciple of the Xuanji Sect and say hello.
As a disciple of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, Tu Shanchong has a bold personality, likes to make friends, and has a natural leadership temperament, although his cultivation is much higher than that of Xuanjizi's disciples, but he is willing to discuss with their peers, and immediately won the love of the Xuanji faction.
Xuanjizi invited Ah Li and Tu Shanchong into the main hall of the Xuanji faction, and the two sides chatted briefly about what happened after parting, and everyone was surprised to hear that Ah Li also got the opportunity to go to Taiyi Academy for further study.
Xuanjizi frowned slightly, but quickly let go, some things were destined, he had calculated for Tianhuo many times, and knew that the fate between Tianhuo and Ah Li was very deep, and the two could be separated without deliberately preventing it.
Fortunately, Tianhuo has lost his memory now, I don't know if he will remember to see Ah Li again, and Ah Li has already taken the past Sultan Pill, which can be regarded as a half-person cultivation to some extent, at least Xuanjizi can still accept Tianhuo and Ah Li together psychologically.
Lu Qiming has the best impression of Ah Li, because Ah Li has not waited for Xuan Jizi to introduce him, and the first person who came up is the sixth senior brother, so he heard that Ah Li is also going to study in Taiyi Academy, and he is very happy for Tianhuo and Ah Li, and blurted out: "Little junior sister, that's great, little junior brother is also ......."
Lu Qiming saw the anxious eyes of the master and the senior brothers at the right time, and immediately realized that it was inappropriate to say this matter at this time, and immediately said: "Ah Li, you are hungry all the way, senior brother to see if lunch is ready, you sit first." ”
After speaking, Lu Qiming fled in the master's murderous eyes.
Xuanjizi asked with a smile: "Ah Li, it turns out that you and Tu Shan Xiaoyou are going to Jinling for further study, which is really gratifying." The two of you made a special trip to Xuanji Mountain this time to deliver alchemy raw materials, and you can't stay for a long time, so after I finish refining, who will take this batch of pills?"
Ah Li looked at Xuanjizi, and said with a sly look in his eyes: "There are a lot of pills in this batch, Brother Chong and I are in an urgent situation, I can't wait for you to finish refining, after you finish refining, contact Aunt Ziyi directly, she will make a special trip to Xuanji Mountain to get it." ”
Xuanjizi felt a little uncomfortable, and immediately agreed to this errand, without even asking how the alchemy reward was.
Tu Shanchong was a little strange, he didn't know the entanglement between Xuanjizi and Tu Shan Ziyi, he thought it was because Xuanjizi was friendly to the demon clan, it seemed that Xuanjizi's good reputation in the demon clan world was exchanged for his good character, and his admiration for him deepened a little.
Ah Li took out a storage bag and a letter, and asked Tu Shanchong to take out another storage bag he was carrying, and handed them to Xuan Jizi.
Xuanjizi took the storage bag and did not check it, but put it on the table next to him, he first picked up the letter and opened it, the envelope had a few words "Xuanji brother personally opened", Xuanjizi had already seen that it was Tu Shan Ziyi's handwriting, the last time Tu Shan Ziyi came to Xuanji Mountain, they had studied calligraphy.
As for what was in the storage bag, he didn't pay attention to it, he wanted to see what Tu Shan Ziyi wrote in the letter to him, and whether there were any thoughtful words to ask for warmth.
There would definitely not be such words in such a letter, and Xuanjizi could only be disappointed.
Tu Shan Ziyi greeted Xuan Jizi in a very flat and straightforward manner, and then wrote very clearly the number of alchemy raw materials that Ah Li and Tu Shan Chong carried this time and the amount of pills that needed to be refined, and sent sixty top-grade spirit stones along with the alchemy raw materials as a reward.
The price of sixty top-grade spirit stones is enough to pay for the alchemy this time, and Xuanyuan Tomb, which has a deep foundation of cultivation resources, did not bother with Xuanjizi, but because he was more assured of Xuanjizi's alchemy skills and character, he paid two percent more than the normal price.
As for the alchemy raw materials, half of them are added on the basis of considering the loss, in fact, as long as Xuanjizi earnestly alchemizes, another part can be saved from this batch of raw materials.
Xuanjizi was not too interested in the top-grade spirit stones and the balance of raw materials, but cherished Tu Shan Ziyi's handwritten letter even more, he carefully folded the letter according to the original creases, put it in the envelope and put it in his arms, and then went to check whether the quantity and quality of the raw materials sent by Xuanyuan Tomb were accurate.
Xuan Jizi grabbed the two storage bags, and his powerful divine sense quickly swept over the alchemy raw materials in the storage bags, the quantity was sufficient and of high quality, it was definitely a good raw material for alchemy, and he allocated three transactions for Su Xing and other disciples to refine some middle and low-grade pills, which was enough for them to improve a lot of alchemy skills.
Xuanjizi put the storage bag into her sleeve with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Ah Li, you and your nephew have worked hard all the way, and it is still early on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so it is better to stay on Xuanji Mountain for a few more days to recuperate, and the teacher can help you warm up the spiritual weapon, and then refine a few bottles of useful pills for you." ”
Ah Li was overjoyed at first, and then said with a gloomy expression: "Master, it's not that the apprentice doesn't want to stay for a few more days, it's just that Brother Chong and I entered the Song Kingdom this time, and we were under the supervision of the Daluo faction throughout the whole process, flying according to the prescribed route every day, resting in the designated place, and not acting without authorization, otherwise we will be expelled from the country." ”
Xuan Jizi knew that Ah Li's trip involved the diplomatic relations between the Song Kingdom and the Heavenly Demon Forest, so the Daluo Sect would be so cautious, this kind of thing was not something that he could interfere with as a god stage cultivator.
Xuanjizi nodded and said, "It's always okay to stay overnight, right? ”
Ah Li smiled at Xuanjizi and said, "Thank you, Master, the first stop of Xuanji Mountain has been arranged for a day, and you can rush to Xuanwei Mansion before nightfall tomorrow." ”
Xuanjizi saw Ah Li, who was smiling like a flower, her heart warmed, and she sighed secretly: "Tianhuo, this kid really doesn't know what shit luck he has taken, how can such an outstanding little princess of the nine-tailed fox clan fall in love with him, I think this cheap apprentice will become my apprentice's daughter-in-law in the future, just help her if you can." ”
The two sides talked a few more words, and Lu Qiming came back to report that the lunch had been prepared, and invited Master, Senior Sister and Tu Shan to rush into the table for dinner.
Only Xuan Jizi and Lu Qiming accompanied Ah Li and Tu Shanchong to eat for lunch, and the other brothers and sisters had their own things to do, so they dispersed.
After the Yi prisoner left, Lu Qiming took over his work, and now he is responsible for arranging the food and clothing on Xuanji Mountain, nine out of ten chefs are fat, Lu Qiming also has good cooking skills, he was previously blocked by the brilliance of Yi prisoners, and now he is responsible for the catering of Xuanji Mountain, and he has also been well received by everyone.
Ah Li and Tu Shanchong ate this lunch with relish and praise.
Although Xuanyuan Tomb regards itself as the orthodox Miao descendant of the Yellow Emperor, imitating the habits of the human race everywhere, he really has no talent in cooking, although the food and elixir of Xuanyuan Tomb are in sufficient supply, but the spiritual food made is average, but everyone is used to eating it, and they don't find it difficult to swallow.
After tasting Lu Qiming's craftsmanship this time, the two of them have a new level of understanding of spiritual food, and it is no wonder that the human race has the ability to suppress all races, and it is not comparable to the impatient demon race depending on the research and refinement of the human race in all aspects.
After lunch, Xuanjizi personally took Ah Li and Tu Shanchong to visit Xuanji Mountain, and explained to them the future planning and layout of Xuanji Mountain.
It seems that the words "there are people outside the world, and there is heaven outside the sky" is the truth, and he is bound by the cognitive system of Xuanyuan Tomb, and he inexplicably has a feeling of pride and complacency, which will affect his judgment, and it is easy to make mistakes in judgment when facing strange things or enemies, which is a big taboo.
Xuanjizi took the two of them to visit the scenery and buildings of Xuanji Mountain, and took them to visit the places of alchemy, refining, medicine, and making utensils, those exquisite appliances and equipment and efficient standard work processes made Ah Li and Tu Shanchong admire, no wonder Xuanji Mountain can rise so quickly.
Xuanjizi did this with deep meaning, he hoped to influence the high-level of Xuanyuan Tomb through Ah Li, Tu Shanchong and Tu Shan Ziyi, who had a certain influence in Xuanyuan Tomb, so that Xuanyuan Tomb would become an important customer of the Xuanji Sect in the Heavenly Demon Forest, and in this way, he would influence other demon families, and finally open up a trade route in the Heavenly Demon Forest.
Ah Li Bingxue is smart, but he is unwilling to participate in the management of Xuanyuan Tomb, seeing that the environment of the Tianhuo Master Sect is so superior, he will only be glad for Tianhuo, and will not have too many ideas.
Tu Shanchong was very serious during the visit, his future was very clear, and he would succeed Tu Shan Zixun as the head of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, so he was very interested in the management model and business methods of the Xuanji faction, and asked Xuanji Zi a lot of related questions along the way.
Xuanjizi also knows everything, and gave Tu Shanchong a lot of guidance and inspiration, if it wasn't for the fact that going to Jinling City was more important, Tu Shanchong wanted to stay and learn to manage the sect with Xuanjizi.
