Chapter 81: The Preaching Jade
This kind of tea soup that can enhance mana is even willing to take it out to entertain guests, Hong Jun can't help but sigh that Tianbao Pavilion is really wealthy.
However, he took a few more sips of tea, and found that the mana growth was far less than the first sip, the effect was decreasing, and it was almost invisible in the back, similar to ordinary tea, but the taste was still mellow and fragrant.
Just as Hong Jun was tasting tea, a middle-aged monk walked into the quiet room, and the female cultivator who had led the way before followed him and stepped forward to introduce: "Lord Deacon, this is the Taoist friend who inquired about the study of the Golden Tadpole Seal Script. ”
"Stand down. The middle-aged monk nodded, and after the nun left, he bowed to Hong Jun and said, "Down is Hu Yan, the deacon of Tianbao Pavilion. Dare to ask Dao Yougui's surname?"
When Hong Jun saw Hu Yan for the first time, his heart was shocked, he observed with the Qi Technique, the other party's cultivation was obscure, the whole body's aura fluctuations were calm as water, almost no leakage, but it felt unfathomable, there was no breath between the mouth and nose, and the chest only rose and fell slightly once for a long time. In such a situation, there is only one possibility, that is, Hu Yan has entered the consummation realm of the fifth layer of qi refining, "fetal breath and keeping one", his mouth and nose are closed, and he only breathes with his dantian, and his mana true qi is in a cycle by itself, as in the twins!
The cultivators of the Fetal Breath Realm have reached the limit of the Qi Refining Period, and they are only one step away from the immortal Jindan Zhenren, although this step is like a heavenly moat, and it is even more difficult to break through than the first five layers of Qi refining combined.
Facing the monk who cultivated more than a few points higher than himself, Hong Jun didn't dare to hold it up, got up and replied: "The junior is surnamed Hong, and I have seen Deacon Hu. ”
Hong Jun's attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, although he is vigilant, but he is not much afraid, after all, he is here to buy something today, but a customer, before the transaction collapses, presumably Tianbao Pavilion will not do stupid things to suppress people, this is not the way of doing business.
"It turned out to be Hong Daoyou, please sit down. Hu Yan's face was warm and smiling. When he spoke, he was also secretly observing Hong Jun, with his cultivation eye, he could naturally see that Hong Jun was a mixed race of human race, and his qi refining cultivation was only one layer, but at the same time, he also cultivated the way of refining the body, and listening to the report of the disciples in the pavilion, this person had a lot of financial resources, maybe he was a disciple of a certain sect, or worshiped under the door of a wise monk.
Regarding Hong Jun's origin, Hu Yan did not take it to heart. Tianbao Pavilion has always only done business, and he is not interested in the origin of the guest, if the guest does not take the initiative to mention it, he will not open his mouth to ask.
After the two sat down, Hu Yan was not verbose, and said directly: "Hong Daoyou wants to study the Golden Tadpole Seal?"
"Not bad. Hong Jun said: "The younger generation came to this secret pagoda for the first time, the pagoda revealed the Tao many times, and I was fortunate to see it, but I didn't know the golden tadpole seal, which is a pity, so I wanted to learn this golden tadpole seal." Guige has a long heritage, and its business spreads all over Xuanzhou, so it must be very familiar with the golden tadpole seal, so it is specially here to buy. ”
Hu Yan nodded slowly, not surprised by Hong Jun's reason why he wanted to learn the Golden Tadpole Seal Script. In fact, every session of the Secret Tower Festival Tianbao Pavilion will send people to participate, and specifically focus on the business of the Golden Tadpole Seal, which is usually difficult to sell, but it is extremely sought-after at the Secret Tower Festival, the price has risen several times more than usual, and a large number of spirit stones have been earned for the Tianbao Pavilion over the years.
Hu Yan pondered a few times and said: "This pavilion does have a set of methods for the study of the golden tadpole seal, which is left by the predecessors who studied the ancient characters in the past dynasties, as well as the methods collected from other monks, which corroborate each other, gather the strengths of each family, fill in the gaps, and finally have today's results." ”
Speaking of this, his face was not without a smile: "If you only talk about the Golden Tadpole Seal Text, this Pavilion can be ranked among the top three in Xuanzhou, second only to the Shenxiao Sword Sect and the Five Elements True Fu Sect, and none of the Nine Sect Alliances can compare with this Pavilion." The total number of golden tadpole seals is more than 500,000 words, and the pavilion has solved more than 360,000 words, and the general Taoist calligraphy can solve doubts. ”
Hong Jun listened calmly, Hu Yan's words were showing the strength of Tianbao Pavilion, if it was true, he was here today to find the right place.
"I don't know how to sell your pavilion's golden tadpole seal?" Hong Jun asked patiently.
Hu Yan smiled implicitly and said: "After all, the method of studying the Golden Tadpole Seal is the painstaking efforts of the ancestors of the past generations of this pavilion, and it is also a rare thing in the cultivation realm, so the price is naturally not low. The content of the golden tadpole seal text is vast, plus the explanation of the sentence one by one, I am afraid that there are hundreds of millions of words, the text is like the sea, if it is written on the ordinary book, this quiet room can not be put down, for this pavilion spared no expense, specially made a batch of preaching jade slips, the study of the golden tadpole seal text is stored in it. ”
Hong Jun raised his eyebrows, he had seen a record in the spirit record, the preaching jade is not an ordinary thing, but a very rare treasure, the shape is a strip-shaped jade plate, indestructible, can store a large number of words and pictures in it, and the function of the hard disk in the previous life is equivalent, and the content stored in it for tens of thousands of years will not be lost. The requirements for the user of the Preaching Jade Slip are extremely high, not all monks can store the content in it, at least it is necessary for a Jindan stage monk to do this, and a Qi refining stage monk can only read the content and cannot make any changes.
The value of the blank preaching jade slip itself is extremely high, and ordinary monks don't need to carry such a good thing, even if some sects with poor strength don't have it, usually only the big sect will use the jade slip, which is specially used to store the Dao method, so it is called the preaching jade slip.
Tianbao Pavilion stored the study method of the Golden Tadpole Seal in the preaching jade slip, which can be said to be at a loss of money, but most of the monks could not afford to buy the preaching jade slip, Hong Jun thought to himself, if his expectations were good, Tianbao Pavilion should have another statement.
Sure enough, Hu Yan continued: "The Preaching Jade Jane is too precious, and this pavilion will not sell it easily, but if the Taoist friends have this intention, and the spirit stones are sufficient, this matter is not non-negotiable. ”
Senior Hu laughed, preaching jade Jane can be affordable by younger generations, and they dare not expect extravagance. Hong Jun secretly rolled his eyes, even if he could easily earn a large number of spirit stones, he would not waste it so much. If there is a monk's heart, the head of the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion will be slaughtered.
Hu Yan just asked casually, he didn't take it seriously, he didn't believe that a monk in the Qi refining period could afford to buy the preaching jade slip, after laughing, his expression became solemn, and said: "This pavilion can lend the preaching jade slip to the Taoist friends to read, collect the spirit stone by the hour, one hundred lower-grade spirit stones every six hours, at least eighteen hours, and if necessary, it can be delayed, and the price remains the same." ”
Rao is Hong Jun was mentally prepared, but he was still shocked by this price.
Six hours is one day, and it costs a hundred spirit stones to preach jade slips for one day, and it takes at least three days to buy them, so to speak, Tianbao Pavilion can earn at least three hundred spirit stones as long as it makes a single business, but he doesn't have any losses, it's a profitable deal!
The most helpless thing is that the study method of the golden tadpole seal text is as vast as smoke, Hu Yan also said just now, its content is more than 100 million words, even if the monks are all intelligent, clear brains and eyes, and the learning efficiency is far beyond that of mortals, but they can't learn much in three days, compared to the content of hundreds of millions of words, I'm afraid that they can't learn it in three days.
Ancient scripts such as the Golden Tadpole Seal script are widely used, and they are the source of many texts, and once learned, they are endlessly beneficial, enough for a monk to immerse himself in a lifetime, and must invest a lot of time and energy to gain a little, and may not even be able to touch the skin in three days.
"Profiteer!" Tianbao Pavilion's image in Hong Jun's heart immediately changed.
Hong Jun slandered in his heart, but his face was silent, Hu Yan saw that his face was as usual, and he was surprised. He has been a deacon in the Tianbao Pavilion for decades, and has developed the ability to observe words and feelings, and when discussing business with people, he only needs to take a look to know whether the other party is interested in treasures, guess the general bottom line, and thus grasp the initiative.
But the monk in front of him, who was only refining qi, really made Hu Yan scratch his head, as if nothing could alarm the other party, unless the other party's net worth was extremely thick, and hundreds of spirit stones were not in his eyes, or he already knew the price, he asked tentatively: "I don't know what Hong Dao friends want?"
Hong Jun didn't want to procrastinate, so he directly took out three hundred lower-grade spirit stones and put them on the table, and said, "I'll read for eighteen hours first, and then decide whether to delay the time." ”
Hong Jun is also helpless, he is bound to win the Golden Tadpole Seal, even if the fee of Tianbao Pavilion is twice as high, he will not hesitate to answer. Relatively speaking, the value of spirit stones is not as important as other monks in his eyes, as long as the problems that can be solved with spirit stones are not a big problem for him!
Hu Yan's face showed joy, three hundred spirit stones were also a lot of wealth for a monk who had perfected the fifth layer of Qi refining, and seeing Hong Jun's resolute appearance, it was very likely that he would extend the reading time, and maybe he would earn more spirit stones.
"Hong Daoyou is really a refreshing person. Hu Yan put away the spirit stone, got up and said a little anxiously: "Daoist friends come with me, there is a quiet room on the third floor of this pavilion dedicated to reading the preaching jade slips, and there happens to be a jade slip that no one borrows at the moment, and the Daoist friend can start immediately." ”
"Please ask your seniors to lead the way. ”
Hu Yan stopped talking, and immediately took Hong Jun out of the room and walked quickly up to the pavilion from a hidden path.
Hong Jun understands why Hu Yan is so anxious, the preaching jade slip in this secret pagoda festival is a cash cow, the sooner someone borrows it, the more spirit stones will be earned, and the preaching jade slip is vacant there for an hour, which is a loss of spirit stones for an hour, and when the ninety-nine days of the pagoda appear, I am afraid that it will not be able to sell at such a high price.
