lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Asking Mirror!
The change in the atmosphere here was very subtle, but there was no lack of discerning people at the banquet. Yu Ci felt that many people were already looking at him. What's more, after Gan Shizhen took the initiative to "increase the stakes", Fan Lao was absolutely willing, but Yu Ci didn't speak, so he could only watch. In such a situation, others cannot help but doubt it.
Yu Ci is not hard-hearted. Seeing Fan Lao's appearance, he also knows that the "bastard" on his son's side is probably better than his conditions here, so he is not as determined as he was back then. But He Qing behind him forced him too much, which he couldn't accept no matter what!
Except for He Qing and the elders of the Lichen Sect, the most domineering one he has ever seen is Xie Yan. When they first met, he forced him to feed fish and dragons with the "Spirit Feeding Method", but after all, it was for the sake of Old Taoist Yu Zhou. life. Who is someone like He Qing?
When his stubborn temper arose, although he did not fall out in public, he still resisted with silence, even losing face to Gan Shizhen. Seeing that the situation was about to completely freeze, the pressure from He Qing suddenly disappeared.
At the strange moment, Yu Ci heard He Qing's voice, his tone was surprisingly calm: "I know you are doing it for Senior Brother Yu, but this Xuan Cang Ring is also of great use to the sect... ...If you can purchase this Xuan Cang Ring, you will have done a great service to the sect. You can use this to record your name on the merit tablet. Then I can help you with the life-extending treasure in the name of the sect. "
Yu Ci was slightly shocked. When he looked over there, he saw He Qing's eyes were cold, but when she met him, she nodded imperceptibly.
He Qing actually gave in first and even made an offer that he couldn't refuse!
At this time, he had been silent for too long, and Yu Ci could feel that more and more people were looking this way. Now it's not a question of whether he can withstand the pressure, but how long the shivering Fan Lao on the other side can hold on.
He finally smiled: "With Uncle Gan helping you, I am no longer a villain in vain."
Seeing the ecstasy on Fan Lao's face, Yu Ci also relaxed in her heart. He was 70% to 80% sure of the life-extending treasure, but now that he had won He Qing's promise, he was almost sure to win it. As for whether he offended the immortal leader because of this, it was not within his scope for the time being.
But at this time, Bichao and Shen Wan had not spoken yet.
Seeing Yu Ci's gaze shift, the businesswoman shook her head and said cheerfully: "At this price, we won't follow you anymore."
Bichao smiled and nodded in agreement.
Although Xuan Cang Ring is precious, it is not unique. In comparison, the connection between the three families is definitely more important. Since Fan Lao has shown such an obvious tendency, who should he recognize Yu Ci, and the other two families As Yu Ci said, there is no need to "be a villain in vain".
Everyone was about to be happy, but there was a loose cultivator who was arrogant. Seeing that the potentially thrilling bidding round was about to fail and the fun was gone, he became dissatisfied and said: "The Suixin Pavilion doesn't even bid, so there is no chance for people to choose... ...Uh!"
As soon as he said this, he was stared at by several pairs of sharp eyes. Even though he was also in the Dan Huan realm, he couldn't bear it. He breathed in with cold sweat dripping down his back and was speechless.
Shen Wan is already very familiar with handling this kind of situation, so she doesn’t care about it, so she just says in an understatement:
"I am afraid that this fellow Taoist has never seen the spiritual bird of Yu Xianzhang, but I saw it yesterday on Danya. I thought that I could not make a bird of that quality in a short time, so I naturally gave up. ”
No matter whether her reasons are convincing or not, that big-mouthed casual cultivator can't even utter a single sentence. With his cultivation level of pill returning, he was suppressed so miserably. It would be really strange if there was no strong person with an absolute advantage to exert his strength!
On the entire floor, there is only one person with such a level of cultivation who can take action.
Yu Ci turned to look at He Qing, gaining a deeper understanding of this serious-looking female cultivator.
At this time, someone at the table asked Shen Wan: "Manager Shen, could you please explain in detail what is so special about the spirit bird?"
The person speaking was Shi Song, who seemed to be getting to the bottom of things, but the expression on Scar's face was very peaceful, making it clear that he had no ill intentions.
Shen Wan nodded to him and said: "This thing has the head of a cat and the beak of an eagle. It has a large body, but it is still sensitive and very ferocious. It must be a strange species from the Sky Rift Valley. It must be found in a valley thousands of miles away from the cliff." It can be seen from the depths that the price for this alone is no less than five thousand Ruyi coins, not to mention that its original ability was already good, and after being fed by Yu Xianzhang with the spirit feeding method, its current strength is comparable. It can compete with the beginning cultivators of theosophy, and seems to be gradually developing spirituality. If I were to estimate it, the price of this bird should be more than 8,000 yuan."
After a pause, Shen Wan continued: "In addition, the Siming Sect's 'Apocalypse Pill' is clearly priced at four thousand in this pavilion. After calculation, Yu Xianchang's asking price has exceeded the value of the Xuan Cang Ring. If it is raised again, It will only make the price artificially high, and it is not the fault of the merchant.”
After she said this, the tense atmosphere at the banquet had greatly eased and finally did not collapse. But the big-mouthed casual cultivator didn't have the face to stay anymore, so he just found a reason and left the table.
As for Fan Lao, Yu Ci asked someone to lead him to Danya to wait. After the banquet, he went back and handed the "bastard" to him. It was Gan Shizhen who gave him the two "Apocalypse Pills" first.
After Fan Lao left with all his thanks, the Yibao Banquet continued. Perhaps the appearance of the Xuan Cang Ring was distracting, or perhaps the price was gradually rising. Two of the next five treasures were uninterested, and there was a slight lull.
There is an episode in the middle: Monk Cheng Yan, who called out the true form of Xuan Cang Jie, was about to go downstairs, but He Qing stopped him and asked him to stay upstairs. As for the reason, He Qing only said one sentence :
"With a bright eye and a bright heart, the distance between the relic and elixir beads is only a thin layer of paper, which is extremely valuable!"
Just this sentence made everyone look at Monk Cheng Yen with admiration.
Cheng Yen was very talkative before, but now he seemed very steady. After thanking He Qing, he sat behind his master without saying a word.
According to the seating arrangements, Yu Ci started by taking the seat at the Purifying Water Altar. Ever since he learned about the secrets of the Pure Water Altar and the Xuanyin Sect, Yu Ci would always naturally and unnaturally pay attention to Monk Yi Xin whenever he was there. But he probably had something on his mind today, and also because Monk Yi Xin was too busy. Depressing - he had only made one attempt to change the treasure before, but he hadn't succeeded yet, so much so that Yu Ci had almost forgotten about him!
Seeing the master and apprentice sitting together, Yu Ci had an indescribable strange feeling.
During confusion, Baode touched his shoulder: "Junior Brother Yu, He Xianchang is calling you."
Hearing the sound, Yu Ci turned around and saw He Qing gesturing with his eyes. Yu Ci was slightly startled, then understood. She stood up and walked behind He Qing. Just as she was about to ask for instructions, she heard He Qing say: "Bring me your sword pill."
In fact, if you want to read Jianwan, just let Baode and Gan Shizhen pass it on. There is no need to call someone over. Perhaps he was still a little dissatisfied because of what happened with Xuan Cang Jie before. Yu Ci didn't care. He took out the sword pill he got from Taoist Yan and gave it to He Qing.
He Qing picked up the inch-long sword with two fingers, looked at it for a few times, nodded and said: "It is indeed a sword pill. It is also like the previous Shuangji sword pill. It has not been refined yet and cannot be rubbed." The sword is like a pill, but it can be used without hindrance, and its quality is not inferior to the previous one."
After saying that, she did not return the sword pill, but handed it to Gan Shizhen again. The delicate female cultivator first looked back at Yu Ci and smiled lightly, then took the sword pill and observed it carefully.
Yu Ci could only wait, when He Qing suddenly changed the subject: "You have to get used to being a disciple of the sect after all."
"Huh?" The sudden sentence made Yu Ci very confused.
He Qing did not look back, and his tone was quite calm: "You have been wandering around since you were a child, and you have always been a bit wild, which is okay. But since you are already a disciple of the sect, you must have the awareness of the sect. Of course. This realization does not come out of thin air, but the sect loves you, protects you, and helps you all the time. Over time, you will fully understand the benefits of the sect, and only then can you slowly come up with this idea, that is, to repay kindness and remember the source when drinking water. And so on. After all, this is also a transaction, it only depends on whether you have moral character and whether the transaction is fair..."
Yu Ci knew that this was due to the Xuan Cangjie incident. On this issue, since He Qing had already made a commitment, he did not want to entangle any more. However, he did not expect that with He Qing's identity, To say this.
He felt that there was no vague emotion in these words, but there was real support for every step. Very frank and very realistic. At this moment, he finally had a complete impression of He Qing.
Hmm, are all the characters from the "Empirical Department" like this?
Also, given He Qing’s personality, why did he mention this so suddenly?
Yu Ci was very surprised. While he was pondering, He Qing spoke again, his voice was much lower: "You have a deep understanding of the situation in Cliff City... What do you think, Monk Isin?"
With a shock in his heart, Yu Ci looked up. He Qing did not look back, nor did he reveal any information on his serious face.
However, Yu Ci could feel that the meaning of these words was precisely targeted.
