Chapter 61: An Awkward Situation (text)
The leader of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance is said to be a monk from the southwest of the Heavenly Wolf Country, and he calls himself the Master of the Multi-Eyed Dao. Although this Dao name is a bit strange, the multi-eyed Dao Leader is just like an ordinary monk, with only one pair of eyes. As for why he took such a Dao name, it was a secret, and he was the only senior in the foundation building period in the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, so naturally no one dared to inquire.
The two walked to the bottom of the valley, and Mo Buchou pointed to a stone house at the bottom of the valley and said to Wu Yan: "Wu Daoyou, the rules in the valley were explained to you in detail just now. In this valley, there is abundant spiritual energy, so if you want to live in the valley, you must either join my Scattered Cultivation Alliance and become a member of the alliance, or pay a certain amount of spirit stones as a reward for staying in. I don't know how Wu Daoyou plans to choose? Actually, it is best to persuade Daoyou to join our Scattered Cultivation Alliance, you think, how many seniors support our Scattered Cultivators, even the monks of the Futu Palace dare not do anything to us when they see the people of our Alliance. What's more, there is great strength in numbers, as long as we are united, naturally we don't have to look at the faces of those sect disciples. Of course, if you are lucky enough to be selected when you participate in the Futu Conference in the future, and become a disciple of the Futu Palace, you only need to pay a certain amount of spirit stones, and you can leave the alliance, and you will not be hindered by any constraints from the alliance. With such a good thing, what else do you have to hesitate about?"
This is not worrying, since he introduced the Scattered Cultivation Alliance to Wu Yan, he has been vigorously boasting about the benefits of joining the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, trying to attract Wu Yan to join this organization. However, Wu Yan has a lot of secrets, and although there are many benefits of joining the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, living with so many Scattered Cultivators every day, the possibility of the secret being exposed will be greater.
The small stove was the treasure he cared about the most, and when he didn't use it, he sealed it in a special small leather bag all day long and carried it close to his body. This was the key to determining how far he would go on the path of cultivating immortals, and he never wanted to be discovered by anyone.
So he didn't plan to join any Loose Cultivation Alliance. The reason why I chose to come here today is mainly because I am attracted by the trade fair here, hoping to find what I need here. In addition, most of his knowledge of the things in the immortal cultivation world was learned from the mouths of Yun Hezi and Lu Cang'er, but there were few monks who had really seen it, and the so-called immortal cultivation world had never really seen it. Of course, I came here for the purpose of increasing my knowledge.
"Mo Daochang's kindness is appreciated in my heart. Hehe, actually, this time I came to Sky Wolf City, mainly for the Floating Slaughter Conference. Mo Daochang understands what he means, right? Hehe, I don't know how much I need to pay for staying here for one night? If there is no spirit stone, can I replace it with gold and silver?" Wu Yan smiled and quietly changed the topic, refusing Mo Buchou's suggestion.
As soon as Mo Buchou heard that Wu Yan rejected his suggestion, his face immediately became a little unpleasant, and he laughed a few times, and sneered disdainfully at Wu Yan's statement that he would pay with gold and silver: "Wu Daoyou, what you are talking about is a layman's word? Do we immortal cultivators still care about worldly gold and silver money? Hehe, pay with gold and silver, you can say it." Is the aura in the Valley of the Immortals something that can be bought with gold and silver? If you really want to live in the valley, the poor Dao will not deceive you into being a newcomer. Rent a quiet room here, and you need to pay a low-level spirit stone every two nights. To participate in a trade fair, you also need to pay a low-level spirit stone as a reward. This is not a small amount, I want us to scatter our cultivation and only save a few spirit stones a year? ”
If you don't worry, it really shocked Wu Yan. He didn't expect the fees here to be so high. You need a spirit stone for two nights, and you also need a spirit stone to participate in a trade fair, where can ordinary casual cultivators pay for this?
Don't say it's Wu Yan, even monks from scattered cultivation families like Yun Hezi and Lu Cang'er may not be able to pay.
According to Yun Hezi, their family also has their own Fang Market business in Jingzhou, but in a year, they can accumulate at most thirty or fifty spirit stones. In this way, this spirit stone will also be distributed by the three or four monks of their family according to the level of cultivation. And a lone casual cultivator like Wu Yan, if there is no chance, he may not be able to get a spirit stone in a year.
Five years ago, the pharmacist failed to capture Wu Yan, and after being killed by Wu Yan, Wu Yan collected the collection of the pharmacist and found only two low-level spirit stones. The other six spirit stones were used by the pharmacist on the eyes of the Nine Ghosts Devouring Soul Destroying Great Array, and they were wasted alive. The two spirit stones were later separated and cut into several thumb-sized scattered spirit stones, which were left for Zhang Tao. After all, the Feng Xiao Long Yun Sword that Zhang Tao used, if there was no spiritual power provided by the spirit stone on the ring, then the Feng Xiao Long Yun Sword would not be able to stimulate its power at all.
Flipping forward to kill the decapitator, in his storage bag, Wu Yan only got two low-level spirit stones. Now he only has a total of six spirit stones in his hands. The other three spirit stones were still a deal he had made with Lu Cang'er in the past few years, and he sold some of the elixir he had personally refined to Lu Cang'er, and exchanged them for three low-level spirit stones from him.
If you want a spirit stone for two nights, you will have to pay a spirit stone to participate in a trade fair, and Wu Yan will feel pain when she thinks about it. This will use up one-third of his spirit stones at once. Originally, he had planned to use these six spirit stones to buy some things he needed at the trade fair, but now that he heard Mo Buchou's words, Wu Yan was a little hesitant.
As soon as he saw Wu Yan's reaction, he knew that the guy in front of him, although he was a tenth-level Qi refining monk, was shy and not a master with oil and water, so he lost interest in continuing to talk to him. secretly scolded and wasted so much saliva in vain.
Mo Buchou pointed to the stone house in front of him and said coldly to Wu Yan: "Wu Daoyou, if you choose to stay, you can register in this house, and someone will arrange a quiet room for Daoyou, and in addition, the spirit stone also needs to be paid there." Poor Dao had other chores to do, so he took his leave. ”
Wu Yan arched his hand and just wanted to say a few words of thanks, but Mo Buchou flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly, turned around and strode away.
Wu Yan smiled bitterly, pinched his nose, and thought secretly, this immortal cultivation world is similar to the secular world, they are all snobs. If you have money, you are a master, and if you don't have money, you are a dog.
Standing in front of the stone house at the bottom of the valley and staring deeply at the entire canyon for a long time, Wu Yan was about to walk towards the stone house, but saw two people walking out of the two stone houses above the canyon that were opened up on the mountain wall, and then two different magic weapons flashed and flew down the two of them.
As soon as he saw the two familiar magic weapons, a smile appeared on Wu Yan's face.
One of the ritual vessels is a two-zhang feather fan, on which stands a handsome young Taoist priest Yun Hezi, wearing a white Taoist robe and holding a black silk silk on his head. The other magic weapon is a purple wooden strange bird, with a wingspan of more than three zhang long, a flickering bird head, and a short and black-clothed young man sitting on the back of the bird, but very spiritual, this person is the twelve-layer Great Perfection monk Lu Cang'er of the Lu family in Bingzhou.
The two of them each controlled the magic weapon and flew to the bottom of the valley. After receiving the magic weapon, the two walked towards Wu Yan side by side. Yun Hezi looked at Wu Yan with a smile, but greeted affectionately: "Wu Daoyou, why are you here so late?" Poor Dao and Brother Lu are in a hurry, if you don't come again, you will miss tomorrow's trade fair." ”
Lu Cang'er looked Wu Yan up and down expressionlessly, and saw the look of dust on his face, so he said, "Brother Wu, did you encounter any trouble on the road?"
After Wu Yan greeted the two, he smiled bitterly: "It's true that I encountered a little trouble, but fortunately, my luck is not bad, and I avoided it." By the way, when did you both arrive?"
Yun Hezi grabbed Wu Yan's arm, walked affectionately towards the valley, and said, "This is not the place to talk, let's go in and talk." Lu Cang'er also nodded in agreement.
Wu Yan smiled bitterly again: "Yun Daoyou, I haven't paid the fee for renting a quiet room, how can I get in?" Wait a minute, I'll go rent a quiet room first, let's have a good chat." ”
Yun Hezi let go of Wu Yan's arm and stood aside with a smile, waiting for him to pay the fee. Lu Cang'er grabbed Wu Yan's arm with one hand and stopped his movements, and threw a spirit stone at the stone house with the other hand without looking, and said, "Let's go, let's go into the valley." It happened that the ashram next to my younger brother was empty, so Deacon Yu arranged for Brother Wu to be next to my ashram. ”
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Yun Hezi's face, and he smiled when he heard this: "Yes, it just so happens that the three of us are familiar with each other, and it is good to have a care if we live nearby." ”
Someone in the stone house agreed, threw out a white jade plaque from the window, Lu Cang'er grabbed it in his hand, and then pulled Wu Yan, who still wanted to say something, and walked towards the valley.
Wu Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly, and at the same time was a little grateful to Lu Cang'er for relieving him. In fact, he had already decided not to live here, but to find a random place nearby to deal with it. Save a spirit stone, maybe it will be of great use at the trade fair. Of course, he had wanted to go to the stone house to find out when the fair was going to take place. Because Mo Bu, who was still very affectionate just now, saw that Wu Yan didn't plan to join the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, and he couldn't get any benefits from him, he even avoided introducing the trade fair to him, turned around and walked away. This naturally put Wu Yan in an extremely embarrassing situation. Fortunately, Yun Hezi and Lu Cang'er appeared at this time, and Lu Cang'er also relieved him. Otherwise, when he went to inquire about the fair, he might be ridiculed by Deacon Yu in the stone house.
The three of them each took out their flying magic weapons and flew to the high platform of the quiet room on the cliff in a moment. After receiving the magic weapon, Lu Cang'er shook the white jade plaque in front of the stone door of the quiet room, and a faint white light shot out from the jade plaque and shot on the stone door. The stone door opened automatically, and a stone room with extremely simple furnishings, but exuding a faint aura, was displayed in front of Wu Yan.
In the stone room, there is only a stone bed, a stone table and two stone benches. On the stone table lay a candlestick, a teapot, four cups, and nothing else.
Wu Yan secretly smiled bitterly, and said in his heart, this quiet room is really simple enough, and you have to charge a spirit stone for staying here for two nights, grandma's, this business is really cost-effective. That's a lot of eyes, but he's really very business-minded.
