Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Great Comparison of the Sect News
Today's second update, in order to be able to enter the fight part of the book as soon as possible, the little brother hasn't slept well in the past few days, and he is thinking about how to design the fight scene and update it faster every day. I hope that more Taoist friends can support this book.
"Senior Brother Zhang, can these fire snake talismans of yours be cheaper, the junior brothers have taken care of your business in the past two years. The blue-clothed young man with a pointed face and monkey cheeks said to Zhang Pengnuo. "That's right, Senior Brother Zhang, you also know that we almost don't have any balance every month except for the contribution of the master. You'll give us another discount. ”
"Senior Brother Zhang, anyway, your talisman making talent is so good, and there is no shortage of this spirit stone. It's good that you can sell a few of them to us cheaply, and let a few of us have a glimmer of hope in the sect competition in three months. ”
Four or five disciples of the Taixian Sect who only had seven or eight layers of exercises in the Qi refining period surrounded Zhang Peng and said angrily, Zhang Peng, who was originally indifferent, suddenly had a look of doubt on his face when he heard the big competition of the sect three months later, and said lightly.
"Senior Brother Zhu, what is going on with the sect competition you just said, I don't know at all, you tell me a good story, if you are satisfied, I can give you another 20% discount on the price of these talismans. ”
"Hey, Senior Brother Zhang, you don't even know about such a big thing as the sect?" The young man with a sharp face and monkey cheeks suddenly lit up his eyes after hearing what Zhang Peng said about the Fu Gong can be discounted, and he grabbed in front of the young man surnamed Zhu and said.
"Hmph, Bai Ling, are you blaming me for saying that? Don't you know that I usually don't have any time to come out except for making talismans, cultivating, and taking care of the medicine garden. Zhang Peng's face suddenly became ugly, he still knew these people very well.
Since I set up a stall here three years ago to sell talismans, at that time, because there were only sixth-level exercises in the Qi refining period, and the talismans only had fireball techniques and water bomb techniques, which were the most common low-level talismans, the price was one percent cheaper than other people's equivalent talismans. The level of practice of these people at that time was about the same as now, and when they saw that his talismans were cheaper than other people's, although they were all common talismans of the primary and low-level, they were still very happy to buy them.
With the improvement of his own practice realm and talisman water, the types of talismans sold have slowly become diversified. These guys have been dealing with themselves since then, and most of the talismans have been bought by these guys in the past three years, but the price is also 20% lower than that of others.
But this guy named Bai Ling is different, just like a mouse as cunning and helpless. Sometimes if you don't give him a little color, this guy will climb up the bamboo pole, and he will swallow the elephant by an inch.
In the past, there was no way to scold this guy when his martial arts realm was still low, but with the improvement of his martial arts realm, this guy no longer dared to act as recklessly as before.
But there is a saying that rats can't change stealing oil, this guy relies on human relationships, and that kind of old mistake is still often made, and I don't know how this guy got mixed with Zhu Lin and a few of their honest junior brothers.
Zhang Peng just made that face just to scare him, after all, he was also from a low-level monk. Thinking that when he was bullied and blackmailed by the black-faced young man who was guarding the Heavenly Fire Pavilion, a wave of anger rose in his heart.
Three years ago, when Zhang Peng finished refining the first batch of Gathering Spirit Pills, he began to take food and meditate. And the effect of the Gathering Spirit Pill also contained a huge amount of spiritual power as introduced by Dan Fang, and after the medicinal power was dissolved, he once again felt the feeling of abundant spiritual energy and skyrocketing mana when he cultivated with the help of spiritual beads.
By the time he had finished refining the last pill, two months had passed. I don't know if it's because his qualifications are really too poor, under the effect of such a powerful medicinal power, he still failed to break through the fifth-layer exercises of the qi refining period as he wished, and reluctantly stayed at the peak of the fifth-layer.
In order not to let others discover his secret, he did not plan to go to the Heavenly Fire Pavilion for alchemy in the short term, but first finished maturing all the elixirs, and then brought them to refine them together.
In this way, it took him more than a year to give birth to a large number of elixirs of the Gathering Spirit Pill and the Broad Spirit Pill. With more than 400 sect contributions, he exchanged it for a high-grade Dan furnace that could withstand the scorching fire of the earth from Tianbao Pavilion.
When he went to the Heavenly Fire Pavilion to refine the pill again, the black-faced senior brother seemed to remember him vividly, and he extorted two lower grade spirit stones from him again before giving him the jade plate and letting him pass.
This made Zhang Peng hate this person with itchy teeth, but unfortunately, when he spent three months refining all the elixirs, he began a semi-retreat state for more than two years. With the help of powerful medicinal power, his exercises have advanced by leaps and bounds in the past two and a half years, breaking through from the original five-layer exercises in the Qi refining period to the current twelve-layer early stage in one fell swoop.
During this period, in order to confuse the public, he only occasionally came out to sell talismans, and he naturally didn't have a chance to meet the black-faced young man stationed in the Tianhuo Pavilion, otherwise he wouldn't mind giving the other party some color to take a look.
And he didn't have any news in the sect, so naturally he didn't know much about everything.
It's just that for some reason, the Gathering Spirit Pill and the Broad Spirit Pill seemed to have lost their effect after forcibly breaking through his exercises to the twelfth layer. No matter how much he was fed, it would not work at all, just like the spirit beads had no effect on him in the first place.
This result made Zhang Peng very depressed, so he decided to come out today to sell some talismans and exchange them for some spirit stones. The words of this Senior Brother Zhu just now immediately made him understand that it seemed that he had missed some important news, otherwise he would not easily promise to reduce the price of those high-level Fire Snake Talismans.
You must know that in the past three years, although he relied on the effect of the mysterious spirit bead, he gave birth to a large number of spirit grass used to make talisman paper for him to practice the art of talisman making. But so far, although the success rate of the beginner and intermediate runes can reach seven or eight percent, the success rate of the primary and high-level runes is still only two or three percent.
"Don't dare, how dare Senior Brother have that meaning, please Senior Brother Zhang don't be angry. Bai Ling apologized to Zhang Peng in horror, but he kept beating the drum in his heart. Although he, Senior Brother Zhang, is younger and easier to talk to, where is Xiu Wei after all. If he really wanted to give himself some color, he probably wouldn't be able to eat and walk away.
It's all the goods that I provoked with my own rotten mouth, and I must take care of it in the future, Bai Ling secretly made up his mind in his heart, but only God knows if he can really change it.
"Okay, Bailing, don't waste my time, Senior Brother Zhu, tell me about the situation of the sect. Zhang Peng looked at the relatively thin and tall young man surnamed Zhu with a serious face.
"That's like this, Senior Brother Zhang, the so-called sect big competition is the Zhuji Dan competition that our disciples in the Qi refining period within the Taixian Sect conduct every five years. As long as you can get the top 50 disciples of Dabi, you can get a secret treasure of the Tsukidan in the sect, and as long as you can get the top 50 to 100 disciples, you can get rich rewards from high-grade magic weapons to low-grade magic weapons and auxiliary pills.
Listening to the elders of the sect and the other senior brothers say this, what they did was also for the development of the sect, and to sharpen and encourage the hearts of those of us disciples in the Qi refining period. The young man surnamed Zhu said all the news he knew without any reservations, and it was even more difficult for him to get the reward of the sect than to ascend to the sky.
Saying that before, it was just to be able to buy those high-level fire snake talismans cheaper. After all, these talismans can be sold for a very high price as soon as he changes hands slightly.
As for letting him take these fire snake talismans to the sect to use in the big competition, let's not talk about whether these fire snake talismans can help him win. Even among the thousands of Qi Refining Stage disciples in the sect, there are indeed not a few exercises like him, but there are not a thousand exercises above the tenth level, and there are eight hundred. Where did he get so many fire snake talismans to compete with those elite disciples with a higher level of martial arts. So unless he was kicked in the head by a donkey, he would want to fight for that pitiful place.
I didn't expect that this seemingly honest and loyal Senior Brother Zhu was still such a cunning and cunning person, it seems that all immortal cultivators are really not ignorant. It's just that Zhang Peng doesn't know him well, so he mistakenly thinks that he is the kind of honest person.
"Oh, I didn't expect the master to actually take Tsukidan as a reward, doesn't it mean that Tsukidan is pitiful and can't get Tsukidan without a big contribution from the master. Zhang Peng exclaimed in surprise, looking at the young man surnamed Zhu with a shocked expression.
"That's what it says in the door rules, but Senior Brother Zhang, think about it the other way, if the master doesn't distribute the foundation building pill through this method, then how did those foundation building period uncles and even the ancestor of the foundation building period in the sect come here, I'm afraid it won't take two hundred years for our Taixian Sect to be removed from the five sects in Linnan. The young man surnamed Zhu said calmly, as if he knew all this very well.
After hearing this, Zhang Peng thought about it a little in his heart, and confirmed that what Senior Brother Zhu said just now was true. It is indeed as he said, if the Taixian Sect does not take out the Zhuji Dan in the sect and give it to the disciples with excellent qualifications, then it will indeed not take many years for the Taixian Sect to be used as a shortage of high-level monks, and the second will be destroyed by other sects.
Since the sect gives such a big reward, the competition must be extraordinary. Zhang Peng didn't think that with his twelve-level beginner exercises, he could easily win in this competition. There are at least hundreds of people in the valley at the level of exercises like him, not to mention that he doesn't even have a talisman weapon so far, so it's better to figure out the situation more clearly.
"What are the rules of that competition, and whether there is a surname or not. Zhang Peng stared at the young man surnamed Zhu with a serious face and said slowly.
"This senior brother is too worried, the sect stipulates that as long as one party admits defeat or the senior uncle in charge of the competition thinks that one side does not have the strength to fight again, the other side will be directly judged to win.
And in the process of fighting, it is even more difficult to take the life of the same family. Otherwise, the mana will be abolished and beaten as a mortal. The most important thing is to directly dismiss the army and pay tribute to the deceased......" The young man surnamed Zhu returned with an indifferent face
"I see" Zhang Peng muttered to himself, and after inquiring about the time of the competition and other circumstances in detail, he sold a few high-grade fire snake talismans to the other party cheaply, and hurriedly returned to the Heavenly Spirit Garden.
