  "Brother Nineteen, what brought you to me? Can you tell me now?"

Xu Zhifeng, who had already grown a beard, drank a cup of spiritual tea, stroked his beard and asked.

Looking at his much more mature clan brother, Xu Zhiyu nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile:

"Zhifeng, have you done what I asked the clansman to give you before?"

Xu Zhifeng did not answer when he heard this, but took out a jade slip from his arms and handed it to him. It seemed that he was prepared for it. Xu Zhiyu took it with a smile, nodded to it, and looked at it directly with his spiritual consciousness.

After a while, he held the jade slip in his hand thoughtfully, and then asked:

"And the very cheap and rare weapon refining materials, have you found them?"

"Brother Nineteen, I have issued a reward specifically for the materials you mentioned. There are also many casual cultivators who come to the door with all kinds of strange materials, but these materials are either extremely rare, but valuable. Either it is very cheap, but very common, and there is really no one that meets your requirements. Brother Nineteen, what do you want this material for? Can you tell me about it?" He asked very curiously.

Xu Zhiyu thought about it and felt that the matter was basically settled, and the follow-up would have to rely on the strength of the clan, so he did not hide it and directly revealed the idea of ​​issuing a 'lottery' to his clan brothers.

After hearing what he said, Xu Zhifeng was very excited. Unable to contain his joy, he got off the chair and started walking around the room, talking as he walked, but his eyes were always focused on him.

"Brother Nineteen, your method is great! You don't know that because there are no gambling houses in the city, and because the casual cultivators are very gambling, they set up gambling privately, but they are all deceivers and swindlers. , Rogue cultivators often came to report that they had been deceived, and the City Guards also followed suit and cracked down on them several times, but they resurfaced soon after and continued to ban them.

Now there is this interesting and transparent new gambling method you mentioned, Brother Nineteen. What is it called? Yes, it is called 'lottery', right? With this 'lottery', it not only satisfies the needs of casual cultivators who like gambling, but also helps the family generate income. It is simply the best of both worlds.

Brother Nineteen, I really admire you now. You said that there are so many people in the city, and many of them have seen the meteor shower. How come no one has discovered that this thing can be used to earn spiritual stones?

Looking at his clan brother who was a little overjoyed, Xu Zhiyu poured cold water on him in order to calm him down and said:

"Zhifeng, there's no need to say flattery. Let's discuss first where to find the materials I just mentioned. This thing is crucial to the issuance of the 'lottery'. Without it, everything is just a dream!"

After hearing this, Xu Zhifeng's face changed from happiness to melancholy. He sat down on the chair, held his head in his hands, and started to think about this problem with his brows furrowed. After a while, he didn't know what he thought of, and suddenly raised his head. Beginning to say:
  "I remembered! There is a foundation-building weapon refiner named Ma in Taiyang Tower. Once when we were discussing weapon-refining skills, he once said that Taiyang Tower seemed to have a very unique weapon-refining material. Some weapon-refining materials The master will add this material in the process of refining the magic weapon as an exclusive symbol of his own magic weapon refining."

"Then this material must be very expensive, right?" he asked.

"I'm not sure about this. Fellow Daoist Ma only heard that there is such a material in Taiyang Tower. We didn't talk about it in detail. If you want to find out the specific situation, you have to go to Taiyang Tower in person. Ask the shopkeeper.

By the way, Brother Nineteen, aren’t you familiar with Shopkeeper Xi? You can ask her, and you can also thank her on behalf of the family. "

Seeing that his clan brother was confused, he continued to explain:
  "Brother Nineteen, you don't know that since Shopkeeper Xi broke through the Jindan, the family city has become more attractive to casual cultivators in surrounding counties. Think about it, which city in the nearby county has a Jindan real person in charge? Even if it is In Dahefang City of Baiyi Sect, the highest combat strength is only the ninth-level monks of Zifu. It can be said that the reason why our Taoyuanfang City is developing better and better is because of the relationship between Shopkeeper Xi, the newly promoted Jindan Master. It’s no small matter.”

Xu Zhiyu didn't refuse after hearing this. He just happened to have something to see Shopkeeper Xi, so he agreed directly.

"It just so happened that I had something important to do and needed to visit Shopkeeper Xi, so I asked about it all at once!"

After chatting with the clan brother, the two brothers left the room side by side. Xu Zhifeng continued to work in Baocui Building, while he walked into the door of Taiyang Building.

On the top floor of Taiyang Building, outside the door of shopkeeper Xi's room.

Hearing the clear voice coming from inside, Wan Lao, who led Xu Zhiyu up and informed him, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by him with words.

"Wan Lao, I haven't seen you for many years. I wonder if you will be free later. I have a bottle of Baihua Niang, a good wine, and I hope I can drink it with you."

"Haha, okay, I'll be waiting then. I'm on the third floor. You also know the room number. Just come to me directly later!"

"It's a deal, Wanlao, go slow!"

After saying that, he continued to wait at the door of the room alone. It turned out that during the announcement just now, Shopkeeper Xi did not directly invite him into the room, but asked him to wait at the door, saying that she would come out.

"Creak!" The door was pushed open. He did not look directly at the person walking out of the room, but saluted respectfully:

"Junior Xu Zhiyu has met Master Xi!"

"Well, let's go! Let's talk in the reception room!"

After saying the next sentence, Shopkeeper Xi led the way. He then raised his head cautiously and took a look at Shopkeeper Xi who was walking in front. Looking from the bottom up, he saw that she was wearing a white cloak and her figure was extremely graceful. , then looked up, and what he saw was her high bun, and the amethyst jade hairpin inserted diagonally above the bun.

When he came to the living room, he sat down in the guest's seat, and after instructing the waiter to serve tea, shopkeeper Xi asked him straight to the point the reason for his visit.

"When you achieved the golden elixir avenue, I was still in seclusion and did not catch up with your golden elixir ceremony. I came here mainly to express my congratulations to the senior!"

He didn't explain his purpose when he came up, and it wasn't his first day in the world of cultivating immortals, so he complimented Shopkeeper Xi first, so that he would be able to speak easily when he asked for advice.

Originally he was just talking politely, but he didn't expect Shopkeeper Xi to take it seriously. He glanced at him with a half-smile, then opened his lips and asked softly: "Since it's to express congratulations, where is the gift?"

He was confused by this sentence and thought to himself, isn't this just a courtesy, how can you take it seriously? Besides, when you held the Golden Elixir Ceremony, I heard that the Xu family prepared a fourth-level mid-grade material for you to refine your natal magic weapon, worth 800,000 low-grade spiritual stones? Why do you have the nerve to ask me for a gift?

I thought so, but after all, Master Jin Dan spoke, and the words of the Zhifeng clan brother this morning sounded in his ears, indicating the importance of the person in front of him to the development of the family market, so he was not stingy, and was storing the ring After picking and choosing among them, I finally found a gift that I could take out.

This object is a green jade flute that is three feet long and ranks at the top of the third level. It is said that it is a musical instrument with a special music score next to it. If you play it according to the music score above, you can It is a rare high-quality attack weapon that can cause enemies within ten miles of the surrounding area to have their sea of ​​consciousness shake, shift their five internal organs, and rupture their six internal organs until they die.

This magic weapon was given by the Lord Huashen. It has been kept in a storage ring and has never been used. The main reason is that his cultivation level is too low and he cannot use such a high-level magic weapon. Today, he borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha.

"Senior, please accept your little thought!"

Seeing the jade flute he held above his head, Shopkeeper Xi did not take it immediately, although she had to admit that she was indeed moved. She usually likes musical instruments, and this flute looked like a fine product at first glance, which made her love it even more. But she knew better that the value of such a rare third-level high-grade magic weapon was definitely not less than 500,000 low-grade spiritual stones.

In fact, she just wanted to make a joke with Xu Zhiyu to see how this young monk who helped his young lady and his master solve a big problem would respond when someone made things difficult for him. She didn't really want any gifts. Besides, After she achieved the Golden Elixir, the spiritual stones and treasures given by her young lady Tong Ying were enough for her to enjoy endlessly, and other people's gifts were hard for her to appreciate.

"Okay, your intention is a bit precious, I'm embarrassed to accept it!" After thinking about it, she waved her hand to decline, and motioned for him to take the jade flute back.

What’s the most embarrassing thing about gift-giving? It wasn't that the gift was disliked, but that the other person didn't want to accept it. Xu Zhiyu was in this situation now, but in the end, with his persuasive persuasion, Shopkeeper Xi reluctantly accepted the gift.

After sending out the gifts, he immediately explained his purpose and asked about the cheap but extremely rare weapon refining materials that his clan brother told him.

When he finished the pot of tea, shopkeeper Xi, who had been thinking for a long time, remembered the matter and began to explain it to him.

It turns out that what the clan brother heard from Ma Ji Zhuji was only scratching the surface. This is the real situation.

It turned out that the weapon refining material came from the Taiyang Tower headquarters, and it had been stored in the warehouse for unknown years. It was not discovered until the warehouse was reorganized. Because it contained weak spiritual energy, it was finally treated as a low-level weapon refining material and sent to the refining warehouse. The equipment is divided into floors.

When a first-level weapon refiner there was pondering its use, he accidentally discovered that this material can create a unique mark to distinguish the magic weapon he refined from other weapon refiners. This first-level weapon refiner discovered After keeping this secret, he secretly collected all these materials and told others that they were all consumed. Because those materials were not worth many spiritual stones, no one pursued the matter.

As this weapon refining master continued to grow, his weapon refining skills and cultivation continued to increase. When he became the Zifu, he was photographed by the main building and now serves as the construction branch of Dahefang City to which Baiyi Sect belongs. Shopkeeper.

When he was in the main building, he was afraid that someone would pursue his past mistakes, so he never used this material. After arriving here, he began to create exclusive marks. As long as it was a magical weapon made by him, it would be used. The materials were used to create exclusive marks, and coupled with his superb weapon-refining skills, there was an endless stream of monks who came to ask him to customize magical weapons. He could be regarded as having achieved success and fame.

But the good times didn't last long, and customers came to us one after another asking for returns. It turned out that their magical instruments began to get damaged after being used for a period of time. The culprit was that unique mark. This is where the damage to the magical instruments started. of.

The weapon refiner who learned the news did not give up and did many experiments one after another. Finally, he found that this material was slightly corrosive to the magic weapon. It may not be visible in a short time, but over time, the damage will be It shows.

Since then, except for some of this material being taken back by the main building as a sample to warn the refiners, the rest has been piled up in the warehouse of the Dahefang City branch without anyone taking care of it.

Later, when the Taoyuanfang City distribution was established, this material was brought here by an unsuspecting weapon refiner as a building material. Shopkeeper Xi also generously stated that these materials were given to him for free.

As for the rare type that he was worried about, shopkeeper Xi also told him not to worry. It turns out that after this incident happened, in order to avoid the same tragedy from happening, the Taiyang Tower headquarters ordered all branches to inspect the warehouses to see if the same materials still existed. However, when the last reported information was compiled, no trace was found. , as if these are the only things in this world.

After getting the rare weapon refining materials, he did not just leave. Instead, he asked shopkeeper Xi to let her use the special contact method to contact Tong Ying, and told her seriously that he had very important matters to discuss with her lady. .

"What a coincidence. To tell you the truth, I have been in constant contact for the past half month, but I have not received any response. The lady may have something important, so you should go back first, when I can contact the lady. , I’ll send someone to inform you!”

"In that case, I'll take my leave now, junior!"

When he heard that things were not coincidental, he had no choice but to say goodbye. After that, he went to the third floor to find Wan Lao, had a drink and chat with him, and learned a piece of news from him.

"Senior, you are saying that the monks from the Lingxiao Sect opposite often observe the activities of our two families when they have nothing to do. Are you dazzled and mistaken?"

Seeing the drunken Wan Lao and his unkempt and slovenly appearance, Xu Zhiyu expressed doubts about his words at the right time.

"What are you talking about? Except for the shopkeeper who has broken through to the golden elixir, I have the highest cultivation level in this branch. Have you ever seen that monk with the peak cultivation level of the Zi Mansion be dazzled? You kid doesn't know a good heart. If you hadn't seen For the sake of your bottle of Baihua Brew, I won’t tell you this?”

After drinking a large glass of spirit wine, Wan Lao breathed the smell of alcohol and said with some complaints.

"Don't be angry. I made a mistake as a junior. How about I punish myself with three drinks?"

"As long as you know you're wrong, there's no need to drink as a penalty. There isn't much in total. You kid still want to drink it all?"

After enjoying himself, Xu Zhiyu left Taiyang Tower and walked towards his store. However, whether it was a psychological effect or something real, he found that someone in the Tianluo Pavilion opposite seemed to be spying on him.
