"I'm late, I'll punish myself with three drinks."
Yu Ci strode over, first greeted He Qing and Gan Shizhen, then greeted Senior Brother Baode, and finally bowed to everyone around them, saying they had met.
The monks from all the sects in Juebi City, from Shi Song on down, all stood up to greet him. The foreign monks present, who knew Yu Ci’s identity, also stood up to greet him. With such a group of people standing up, those who were confused about the situation also stood up one after another. Suddenly there was a lot of noise at the banquet, creating a big scene.
"Eh..." Gan Shizhen didn't expect Yu Ci to be so popular, and was quite surprised for a moment.
He Qing remained calm, stretched out his hand to touch the top of Shan Gu's head, and asked everyone to go out of the hall first, and then said softly: "You, my nephew, are not very good at cultivation, but you are very good at using force. He has the ability to show off his power, and look, 60% to 70% of the people here were fooled by him."
Hearing the words of the clan aunt, Gan Shizhen lowered his eyes and smiled. But I don't think so in my heart. How can a young man who dares to cultivate his spiritual power and face ghosts, beasts and hundreds of demons be regarded as "a fox pretending to be a tiger's power"?
Yu Ci greeted everyone around and then turned his attention to Bi Chao on the main seat. The petite but graceful female cultivator was pouring wine from a pot. With a gurgling sound, she chuckled and said, "Although Immortal Yu came late, he brought a good taste, so the wine will not be punished. I only ask the Immortal to make up for it." Serve this cup."
The female cultivator held the wine cup in her hand, picked it up with a smile, left the table and walked to Yu Ci's side. There was a sudden silence on the table, and Yu Ci's heart moved slightly. His eyes quickly swept over the faces of the three sect leaders Shi Song, Dong Yan and even Monk Yixin. Of course these people knew what it meant for Bichao to bring this glass of wine, but it seemed that they were all prepared for it.
This woman has only been here for a few days, but she has opened up the joints of several people with vital interests in the city.
"Showing hands, that Chiyin would be so ashamed that she would die..."
When Yu Ci thought about this, she laughed, took the wine glass, and drank it down in one gulp.
I don’t know who started it, and the whole table cheered loudly.
After that, Bichao resumed his duties as a master and introduced Yu Ci and Shen Wan. Both sides were a little surprised. Yu Ci was surprised that the person who came was not Zhou Youde as expected, while Shen Wan didn't expect that the "Yu Xianchang" Zhou Youde mentioned for the first time looked like this.
Both sides were adjusting their minds and just exchanged a few polite greetings before going back to their seats. Yu Ci sat under Baode, facing Shen Wan on the other side.
After sitting down, Yu Ci smiled: "I thought that Manager Zhou would return to Cliff City this time, but I didn't expect Manager Shen to be in front of me... How good is Manager Zhou?"
Shen Wan glanced at him and said, "Steward Zhou passed away a month ago."
As soon as he said this, everyone at the table who knew who Zhou Youde was was shocked.
Yu Ci was about to raise a glass to greet Shen Wan. When he heard this, the glass he raised stopped in mid-air and said in surprise: "What?"
Shen Wan spoke calmly: "After Manager Zhou left Zigui, a group of people went to the central part of the country near Yuanma Lake and were attacked by bandits. Of the thirty-five people in the caravan, no one survived."
"Bandits?"
Yu Ci was speechless for a moment.
After a while, he put down the cup and thought that before Zhou Youde and his party came to Cliff City, they also encountered bandits who were robbing them, and they were in a very embarrassed state. Logically speaking, after suffering such a loss, they should be more cautious no matter what. How could they turn around and end up like this?
He calmed down and asked, "Do you know who did it?"
"He is a veteran who is used to this business. He did it ruthlessly and left no trace. We only learned of the news many days after the incident, and so far no clues have been found."
Shen Wan looked as usual, but her eyes were cold. When she said this, the monks at the table began to understand why Manager Shen had such a cold attitude before. Although there is no reason to act out of anger because of tragic events, it is humane and no one can say anything about it.
Yu Ci was silent again.
Then Shen Wan suddenly smiled: "The quality of goods and the survival of people always depend on each other. We merchants may be lucky and make a lot of money, but we may also be unlucky and lose money. We are used to it, so there is no need to mention it again."
She spoke quite freely, but compared with her previous attitude, no one believed that she really looked away. Shen Wan did not give people any time to think carefully, and then smiled and said: "Since Immortal Yu is here, how about taking a look at these treasures brought by this pavilion?"
Yu Ci met her eyes and saw that her eyes were bright and arrogant. She made it clear that she would not accept those false gifts, so she nodded and said no more. But at this time, another important matter was placed in front of him:
Now that the manager has changed, what will happen to the previous agreements?
As soon as his mind moved, he felt tired all of a sudden. . In fact, he came all the way from the Sky Rift Valley. Although there were fish and dragons on the way, he was never idle because of one thing. He didn't show it on his face at the moment, but in fact he was exhausted. He could hardly stand up from his seat. , rushed by something on my mind, the feeling became stronger and stronger.
Just as he was thinking about it, the sound of the sword roared again, filling the room with cold air. The trains just walked around in the air, making several circles in the open space surrounded by the seats, and the coldness spread.
Except for Yu Ci, everyone here is at least a Dan Huan cultivator. Even though the horse was flying around the sky very quickly, everyone could see it clearly. Immediately someone shouted:
"Sword Pill!"
The one who shouted was Dong Yan, the leader of Wusheng Jianmen. No matter what the occasion, this person always looks like he hasn't had enough sleep. He is always gloomy and rarely talks, but this time he lost his composure.
After collecting the sword pill first, Shen Wan glanced at Dong Yan, nodded and said: "Master Dong's discernment is perfect, this is exactly the sword pill, and it was burned and sacrificed with a peerless sword. It's a pity. The first master passed away before he could complete the work, and the sword pill was not yet pure and in a harmonious state."
As she spoke, she opened her palms, and in her white jade-like palms rested a small sword that was only about an inch long. Although this sword is small, it has a complete shape and looks like an exquisite miniature sculpture. At this time, the small sword was breathing cold light, making the slightest sound, and after only a few words, a layer of white frost formed on Shen Wan's hand.
Seeing this vision, all the monks at the table were surprised. Dong Yan had already sat up straight, his eyes narrowed and his voice was louder than he knew it: "Can I take a look?"
Shen Wan smiled slightly: "It's okay for you all to pass it on."
After saying that, he handed the sword pills to Shi Song, who was next to him, and looked at them carefully one by one. This is the real appearance of trading treasures. Just like when he showed off his rosy silk clothes and let Bichao exchange them, it was just a symbolic formality. In terms of seriousness and carefulness, it was too far off.
Shi Song and Hu Dan didn't look at it for too long, and soon passed the sword pill to Dong Yan. The longest stay was at his place, but it was much faster later. It only took a quarter of an hour to go around and get to Yu Ci.
During this period, the monks at the table were all talking about Jianwan. Even if Yu Ci didn't know much about Jianwan and Jianyuan before, he could get a rough idea by relying on his ears and asking Brother Baode next to him.
Jianwan is a very miraculous treasure in this world. Its nature is between a sword weapon and a magical weapon, and its appearance is also different. Generally speaking, there are two ways to make a sword pill. One is to directly make it into a pill and use the method of controlling the sword to drive it, which can transform into sword light and be indestructible; the other is to find a good sword and use a special method to burn it and sacrifice it. , three feet long from small to large, turned into a sword ball the size of a dragon's eye, the so-called "turning a hundred steel-making into a soft one around the finger", it should be like this.
No matter which method is used, a lot of effort is required to refine it. Only monks who specialize in swordsmanship have the energy to create it. But once mastered, the power is extremely impressive. It is said that 50% to 60% of Buxu level sword cultivators use sword pills, especially those who take the "atomization" route, and the proportion is even higher.
The "Sword Pill" in Yu Ci's hands at this time is actually not true to its name, but more like a delicate ornament. Yu Ci looked at it twice, and then transferred it to Baode, who was above him, and from Baode to Gan Shizhen's hands. At this point the circle is almost over.
Others looked at him as if he didn't care, but Yu Ci knew that the corners of his eyes were twitching slightly at this moment, and his heart was by no means calm:
"Why does this thing look like it was carved from the same mold as the one I had?"
What Yu Ci was thinking of was the small sword he got from Taoist Yan. It is also about an inch long and well-formed, but it is sharper than the one I just handled, without the strange phenomenon of frost on the tentacles.
At this time, he heard Gan Shizhen talking to He Qing. The two female cultivators were the most advanced people at the table, and their opinions were undoubtedly the most important. Among them, Gan Shizhen is an expert in swordsmanship and has more say:
"This sword pill is still a little bit weak, and it will take about three to five years of practice before it is fully functional. But the most precious thing is that the sword pill seems to contain the legacy of the senior master who practiced this sword. A trace of sword intent, and it is a rare type with five elements of energy, and the frost formation is quite impressive. If you can understand it carefully, the gains will be greater than the sword pill itself."
Yu Ci felt that he was very knowledgeable and had something unclear, so he toasted Baode with a glass of wine and then asked, "How do you know that there is sword intention in the sword pill?"
Baode has been practicing for many years, and his knowledge foundation is much better than Yu Ci. Hearing this, he raised his glass and smiled and said: "Usually, it is based on inner vision with spiritual consciousness. There is a method of appreciating treasures that is dedicated to this. But if one's own sword intention has It's easy to do it, just use your own sword intention to infiltrate it. If there is nothing else in the sword pill, it will naturally disappear. If there is something, there are two situations: if the quality is consistent, the sword pill will tremble late, and Yin Yin will roar. "If the qualities are inconsistent, the swords will clash, like gold and iron clashing..."
"锵!"
Under the long table, there was a sudden sound of gold and iron, and the sip of wine that Bao De had just entered spurted out, and all the dishes on the table suffered.
All the monks looked at him.
Yu Ci was also stunned, but he reacted very quickly, thought of the important thing next, and made a decision. Without covering up, he patted the newly recognized sword pill in his hand on the case and said with a smile: "If Manager Shen hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have known that this thing I got earlier was actually a treasure..."
After saying that, he turned to Shen Wan and laughed loudly: "This sword pill does not match my sword intention, so I am afraid that I will take action today. I will give 10% of the proceeds to Manager Shen as a token of my gratitude."
