Sword Moon Lyrics
Chapter 97 Countless Debts
This situation lasted for a month. During this period, Shi Feng only asked people to deliver tea a few times and did not even take a step towards the cave door.
One day one month later, a voice from the cave door said, "Is Immortal Master Qin here?" Shi Feng opened the cave door and saw the boy who brought him spiritual tea, and said, "What's the matter?" The boy asked hurriedly, "Master Immortal, January has arrived, and the villain is here to collect the cave fee." Shi Feng asked in astonishment, "Dave fee? Is there still a charge for using this cave?"
The boy said, "That's right. Each cave has to pay a certain fee every month. Depending on the level of the cave's spiritual power, Immortal Master Qin rents a first-class cave and needs to pay 100 crystals per month." Shi Feng was a little dumbfounded. No wonder the Ning family can make a fortune and plan everything carefully. This cave requires rent every month, so it naturally forces others to work hard to refine spiritual weapons.
When the boy saw Shi Feng with a sullen face and refused to answer, he felt a little scared. Could it be that this immortal master couldn't pay the rent? After all, this immortal master has not refined a single spiritual weapon in the past month. He hurriedly said, "If the immortal master doesn't hand it over now, that's fine. You can record it in the account and calculate it together later."
Shi Feng was afraid that he would bother him every month, so he said, "Well, you will remember it from now on. Don't disturb me without my instructions." The boy said yes again and again and retreated.
The cave door was closed and never opened again, the flowers bloomed and fell, and three years passed in the blink of an eye.
One day three years later, the closed stone door finally opened. Shi Feng stepped out of the cave and stood under the bamboo forest. He took a few deep breaths. His face was uncertain, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad.
At this moment, the dense fire lotus in his dantian had disappeared. It turned out that since he practiced the "Lingxuan Sutra Essentials" diligently in seclusion, the dense fire lotus gradually melted and disappeared. However, just when he was overjoyed, he soon discovered that, as stated in the Lingxuan Sutra, after refining the spiritual object, he possessed the characteristics of the spiritual object.
His true energy is still the red-red color of ordinary flames, and does not appear the unique purple-yellow color of earth fire. The best way to verify it is that earth fire is not restrained by water. However, when Shi Feng shoots the fire snake into the water, it is still very powerful. Almost suffocated.
How is this going? Shi Feng re-study the essentials of the Lingxuan Sutra and made sure that he made no mistakes in the steps of his exercise route. So, he practiced the exercise again and refined it. However, the situation remained the same.
He carefully inspected inside and finally discovered the clues. Although the fire lotus melted, it was not completely integrated into his blood. It only changed from a flower shape to a flowing water shape, flowing throughout the body with his true energy, but it was not completely integrated into his body. For your own use.
Shi Feng tried to activate the Nine Li Spirit Reunion Technique to absorb and transform these spiritual powers, but it had some effect. He stepped out of the cave, turned around a few times, gritted his teeth, and decided to continue refining the fire lotus.
Therefore, Shi Feng came out of seclusion and rested for only half a day, and then went into seclusion again. This time the Lingxuan Sutra was useless, so he could only use the Nine Li Huiling Dharma to absorb the power of the Fire Lotus.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, another three years have passed. The cave door, which had been covered with fallen leaves and dead branches, opened again. Shi Feng walked out and looked around. He shot out a fire snake and hit a rock with a fire snake color. It was purple-green and lasted for twenty breaths. The stone was burned by the blazing flames, and a hole as big as a fist was dented on its surface.
This is the unique special effect of the dense fire that melts rocks. The power of the fire snake has been doubled compared to before. However, Shi Feng is not particularly happy. He has been refining the fire lotus for the past four years. Although he has made himself really Some of the characteristics of the dense fire lotus are incorporated into the air, but the progress is still too slow. According to this progress, it will take at least fifty to a hundred years to completely absorb the fire lotus.
How could Shi Feng afford to wait for such a long time, and even if he could afford to wait, he couldn't wait now, because after absorbing the fire lotus for the past four years, his spiritual energy had reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, and he would Absorbing spiritual power, the Dantian can no longer contain it.
Shi Feng looked up at the sky and felt very embarrassed. He originally wanted to solve the serious problem of Fire Lotus before building the foundation, but now it was impossible for him. But he was alone in a foreign land, and he didn't have any guidance from his master or elders on such important matters.
He pondered for a long time and was ready to build the foundation. After the fire lotus melted, it circulated in his body for four or five years and remained peaceful. His own spiritual power was enough to build the foundation. As long as it didn't cause trouble, he would be fine.
After Shi Feng made his decision, he read the foundation-building method of Jiuli Huiling Dafa again. After Zang Jizi's explanation and subsequent study and collection of dozens of magic secrets, he had basically understood this law, but some of it Details still need to be verified and refined.
Shi Feng walked down the mountain and came to the Sutra Pavilion. He showed his token and entered the pavilion without any hindrance. The Sutra Pavilion in Xuanling Pavilion was different from Tai Chi Sect. Although it was divided into several floors, there were no restrictions. , the only rule is that there is a clear fee for reading and copying the jade slips. The more advanced the jade slips, the more expensive the fees.
After being charged the cave rental fee, Shi Feng was already mentally prepared. He browsed through the entire attic. There were a lot of classics here, but just the opposite of Tai Chi Sect. The main ones were miscellaneous classics such as refining weapons and alchemy, supplemented by classics on exercises.
Although Zhongshan Kingdom is a small country, it has its own unique features in weapon refining. Shi Feng looked through it and put all the weapon refining and magic techniques books that he had not included in his bag. I also selected a few books on magic circles and ignored the others.
Shi Feng had all the selected classics copied by the monks guarding the pavilion, and the crystal stones spent were also recorded in his account.
Shi Feng returned to the cave and took out the magic arts books and read them carefully. He had read more than a hundred magic books. Of course, it was not for practicing, but just to understand the terminology and some details of the magic skills training. It is used to understand the Nine Li Hui Ling Dharma.
After reading it, Shi Feng took out the foundation building experience given by Lu Yinyao and read it carefully. It took him two full months before Shi Feng stopped looking through the classics and went out to Wuyi City to buy some foundation building materials. Things, and then retreated again.
This time the retreat lasted longer, a full four years had passed, and the remaining leaves and weeds in front of Xifeng Ridge covered the entrance to the cave, and there was no trace of anyone.
Even the three years that Shi Feng had spent refining the Envelope Fire Lotus were almost ten years. Although the boys who served him no longer dared to disturb Shi Feng, even the master of Xuanling Pavilion, Lu Yinyao, had never urged Shi Feng.
On this day, Hongzhufang is where the Xuanling Pavilion Deacon Hall is located.
Since the Deacon Hall is responsible for many chores in Xuanling Pavilion, such as material procurement, goods transportation, and store receipts and payments, it is very busy on weekdays, with people coming and going, making it noisy.
But today, there was an unusual silence in front of the Deacon Hall. There were four more guards at the entrance, standing upright. Occasionally, two little men would walk by in the courtyard carrying tea.
The whole backyard was even more silent, making the huge courtyard seem empty. In the middle of the pavilion sat an old man in gray clothes. He was stroking the tea lid with his hand and squinting his eyes, as if sleeping but not sleeping.
The old man's appearance and clothes are very ordinary, just like a bookkeeper in the world, but if he falls in the eyes of a monk, he will be shocked. This old man has a profound aura, and he seems to be a master of golden elixir.
In the reception hall in the backyard, unlike the deserted courtyard, there are more than a dozen people sitting here, including five shopkeepers and the director of the eighth hall. These five shopkeepers are not ordinary people. They are in charge of the Ning family's five offices in Zhongshan Country. Largest pavement.
Sitting in the front row of the living room was Lu Yinyao, the master of Xuanling Pavilion, but he only took the second seat. The first seat in the middle was a girl in her twenties. Her complexion was white and rosy, and her appearance was dazzling. Her slender eyebrows and thin lips show her resolute and picky temperament.
Although there were many people in the living room, they were all silent. Uncle Liu, the steward of the deacon hall, was carrying a big teapot and going back and forth to refill everyone's water.
There were all kinds of jade slips and account books in front of the girl. She flipped through them one by one without saying a word. After more than half an hour, she finally put down the account books and smiled, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone." Yes, I have read the account books, and there are generally no errors in all entries and exits.”
People in both rows finally breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, and the silent room finally came to life. However, Lu Yinyao's face was still tense, and he smiled bitterly in his heart, "These are just the opening words, the next step is the key point. You don't know the temper of this fourth lady yet."
The girl picked up the tea, took a sip, and said, "To the east of Zhangshui, there are three small towns including Zhongshan Kingdom and Yuanyang, the new city of Zhao Kingdom. They used to be managed by the third uncle. The third uncle couldn't afford it because of his illness. Grandpa had no one to send, so he gave me this responsibility. I am young and have little experience, so I will have to rely on my uncles from now on."
Everyone below smiled and bowed, "Where are you?" "Miss Fourth, you're so polite." Everyone here knew that the young girl in front of them was a direct descendant of the Ning family. She was deeply loved by the ancestors, and she could rise to great heights with just one word. So, everyone Some talk like lotuses and speak politely and appropriately, or they pretend to be calm and smile without saying a word. Everyone wants the fourth lady to look at them.
The Fourth Miss still looked calm, not full of spring breeze, but full of kindness, and said, "It's just that I'm not very good at business. I need to ask you about some of the details. Although Zhongshan is a small country, it is still newer than Zhao. It is a small city with a large population and many monks. There are hundreds of sects of various sizes. Especially after the demise of the Jinque Sect, the remaining five branch sects are all independent and can be regarded as medium-sized sects. However, Xuanling Pavilion's business. In the past five years, the growth has been slower and slower, and the total amount is even less than that of four small towns in Zhao State. I wonder why this is? "
There was suddenly no sound in the hall again, and everyone turned their attention to Lu Yinyao.
Lu Yinyao smiled bitterly and said, "Reporting to Fourth Miss, although the population of Zhongshan Kingdom is much larger than that of the four southern cities of Zhao Kingdom, the situation is somewhat different."
"Oh," Miss Ning Si put her account book on the table, "What's the difference? Pavilion Master Lu, please elaborate."
Lu Yinyao was already riding a tiger, so he could only bite the bullet and continue, "Firstly, the power of Zhongshan Kingdom is mainly the five sects left by the Jinque Sect, among which the Nine Talisman Sect refines talismans and seals, and the Changsheng Sect refines elixirs. They are all famous in the world, and we definitely can’t compare with them in terms of elixirs, talismans, and seal scripts. Secondly, there is Wanbaozhai of the Feng family in Zhongshan Kingdom. The Fourth Miss knows that they never follow the rules in doing things. Therefore, these few days Year..."
Miss Ning Si interrupted, "Pavilion Master Lu, I cannot agree with what you are saying. Wanbaozhai will not say anything anymore. He has been against our Ning family for thousands of years. It is not possible to settle the grievances in one day. On the contrary, my Ning family has As for the shop, the Feng family must open one. If it was because of concerns about the Feng family, then our Ning family would have closed down long ago. As for your statement that Jiufu Sect is good at making talismans and seals, and Changsheng Sect is good at refining elixirs, this is true. , but they are a sect gang and we are a business shop, are they the same thing? "
Lu Yinyao didn't dare to answer. Miss Ning continued, "There is no business that cannot be done in the world. The key is to use your brain and spend time. I didn't say that you should sell talismans to the Nine Talisman Sect and sell elixirs to the Changsheng Sect. Of course, that's not possible. But can I sell elixirs to the Nine Talisman Sect and talismans to the Changsheng Sect? The Nine Talisman Sect is good at making talismans, but they only make them and don't know how to sell them. Can we take over their business?"
Lu Yinyao said, "Miss Si is right to remind me. I have this idea too. I have been discussing this with everyone in the past two years."
Miss Si looked at him and said, "Master Lu, you are an old man in our Ning family. Even my father has to call you Brother Lu. It's not that my niece is giving you face, but the Ning family is such a big business, everything must follow the rules. Grandpa said that only rules are followed, not human feelings. Not to mention you and me, even Grandpa himself, if he breaks the rules, he will be punished the same."
Lu Yinyao felt cold sweat coming out all of a sudden, and hurriedly said, "Of course, if I do something wrong, please punish me, Miss Si."
