Chen Xiao was a Feng Shui master before his death. He changed his fate to save his master, but died of old age.
When he opened his eyes, he came to a world of immortal cultivation where there...
Chen Xiao sat at the table, while the others were either standing behind him or on the side of the table, all with strange and speechless expressions on their faces.
Chen Xiao raised his wrist, and on the paper in front of him were seven characters written in a flamboyant style, with majestic and magnificent strokes.
But the more imposing the atmosphere is, the funnier those seven words appear.
Tong Nuonuo suppressed her laughter and said, "Xiaoxiao, are you sure it's these seven words?"
Chen Xiao didn't care about the trembling sound of his suppressed laughter. He frowned and thought, then said seriously: "Well... I'm not really sure. It could be these two."
After saying that, he quickly wrote two more lines.
Tong Nuonuo laughed and said, "This is just a change of name but the substance remains the same!"
Jing Hui nodded seriously: "Good calligraphy, good calligraphy! Brother Chen, your calligraphy is really rare. Only those who cultivate the meaning of calligraphy can surpass you."
Tang Ru was puzzled. "Chongshan is the best in the world? Is this really the secret code to open the door? Why do I feel..." So unreliable? !
She only recited the first sentence, the second sentence, and the third sentence, which were: Chongshan is the best in the world, Chongshan is the most supreme in the world.
Chen Xiao put down his pen helplessly and said, "Combining the mischief shown by Chongshan, the possibility that he was joking about the passcode, and the arrogance and pride revealed in his previous notes, I can only guess this sentence, which fits the seven words."
He looked up at the expressions of the people around him. Tong Nuonuo was overjoyed, Tang Ru couldn't believe it, Jing Hui was heartless, Li Muye had a playful look on his face, and Xi Yunting had a blank expression.
He sighed, "I know this is ridiculous, and I can't say how sure I am. If anyone of you can think of it, feel free to tell me. List them one by one, and we'll try them one by one."
Jing Hui said firmly: "Don't look for me, Chongshan's thoughts are too hard to guess, I can't figure it out!"
Li Muye and Tang Ru also looked reluctant, but Tong Nuonuo was very interested. She guessed a few and none of them matched the number of words. After thinking hard, she still felt that Chen Xiao was the closest possibility.
Xi Yunting said: "You are the only one among us who knows Chongshan deeply. If you can't guess it, then we will be even less likely to guess it."
Chen Xiao was not very confident, but Tong Nuonuo said with a practical spirit: "Let's try it first! I think the first two characters must be Chongshan's name, and the last five characters should not deviate from the meaning of boasting about himself, just with different words and sentences. At worst, we can collect all the sentence patterns and eliminate them one by one, and we will be able to find it out."
Chen Xiao felt that what he said made sense. Even if none of them were right, they could be said to have at least ruled out some of them, and the range of answers would be even smaller.
He asked Tong Nuonuo: "What material does the word Chongshan correspond to?"
Tong Nuonuo answered without hesitation: "The pronunciation of Chong is correct, but the characters are different. It should refer to the 珫矿. This is a very high-end jade ore. As for Shan, it must be Baima. Whether this metal is used to make mechanisms or magic tools, it will increase the sharpness of the attack."
Tang Ru asked him, "Are these two materials easy to find?"
Tong Nuonuo nodded and said, "It's easy to find. It's in the pile of ore that Xiaoxiao brought back. White samium is considered precious and rare outside, but there is a market set up by the Refiners' Alliance over there. You can always get it by buying or exchanging it there."
Chen Xiao clapped his hands and said, "How about this? Let's see how many we can find among the materials we have. If we don't have any, we can go to the market to exchange them."
Tong Nuonuo and Chen Xiao put together a few things and went to the market to buy or exchange them, and finally got most of the materials.
"Is it all gathered?" Tang Ru asked.
Tong Nuonuo said regretfully: "There are only two things missing. Both of them are very rare materials, one is Nanxiang Gardenia, and the other is the feather of a kind of mythical bird, called Di Yu. Nanxiang Gardenia is a wood that only grows in the polar region, which is hot all year round. And this Di Yu has only appeared in rumors!"
Xi Yunting frowned and said, "Since it's just a joke, Chongshan shouldn't go too far. If it's too rare and he can't get it, he definitely won't use it as a secret code to open the door."
Chen Xiao was stunned. "Did I make a mistake? Isn't it these two sentences?"
Li Muye said: "Why don't we change our thinking? Since Chongshan would use it as a secret code to open the door, it should be something that is easy to obtain."
Chen Xiao looked at him and asked, "Master Li, what do you think?"
Li Muye smiled and said, "It's not a profound opinion, just some small knowledge. Among the seven original species of spiritual beasts in the wild garden, there is a descendant of the divine bird, named Di Que. This bird is huge, and its tail feathers are particularly developed and strong. Some of its main feathers are bright red, which is also a rare material for refining weapons."
Tong Nuonuo clapped his hands with shining eyes, "That's right, the name is similar, it can be used as a substitute!"
Chen Xiao pondered deeply, "If I can't get Nanxiang Gardenia here from beginning to end, does that mean I can directly rule out one of the sentences?"
"Don't give up so early." Xi Yunting said cautiously, "You never know if there will be such trees in the wild garden. Chongshan's magic array is so good at simulating the hot environment of the polar day. It's not certain that some trees will be planted."
Chen Xiao nodded and looked at Tong Nonuo: "Nonuo, do you know what Nanxiang Gardenia looks like?"
Tong Nuonuo said embarrassedly: "I can only recognize its wood segments, I don't know what the whole tree looks like."
Tang Ru suddenly said, "I can draw what it looks like."
Chen Xiao looked at her in surprise: "I forgot that you are a spiritual plant master."
After Tang Ru changed her job to a poison master, she used poison beads more often in combat, and her friends had forgotten her original job.
Chen Xiao took the picture Tang Ru had drawn and asked the others, "Has anyone seen this kind of tree in the wild garden?"
Jing Hui shook her head: "I didn't notice it. I was too busy being alert to those spirit beasts at the time."
"Let me see it." Li Muye took the picture and looked at it for a long time. He shook his head and said, "I don't think I have seen this kind of tree before."
Chen Xiao was very disappointed.
Xi Yunting brought up another topic and said, "Although it is known that the tail feathers of the Dique can replace the feathers, it is still a difficult item to obtain."
Tong Nuonuo said optimistically: "Think positively, at least the Dique is a solitary creature, and we only have to deal with one."
Tang Ru was a little confused: "How do we return to the Wild Garden?"
Tong Nuonuo answered quickly: "I know this. As long as we walk along the mountainside until we reach a corner, we can leave here and return to the Wild Garden. In the past, when the evil cultivators came to explore the Immortal Palace, they all left from there."
"Well, I should know. There's nothing you can't find out." Tang Ru said helplessly.
Jing Hui said: "This time, there was no other Di Que. Both sides were injured, so we got the upper hand. Therefore, we can only use our wits to get the Di Que's tail feathers."
"A way to outsmart them?" Chen Xiao had a strange expression on his face, not knowing what he was thinking about.
Xi Yunting didn't notice his subtle expression, and was looking at Jing Hui and said, "We won't let all the disciples go this time. Just the six of us will be enough."
Chen Xiao was a little absent-minded, and only came to his senses after Xi Yunting called him twice.
"What are you thinking about? You look so engrossed." Xi Yunting stared at him.
Chen Xiao pursed his lips, revealing an embarrassed expression. He said awkwardly, "Nothing... Actually, I just suddenly thought of a plan. But I feel it's not very reliable, and I need to think about it carefully."
"Xiaoxiao, what solution have you come up with?" Tong Nuonuo leaned over and asked curiously.
"Well, it's hard to say now. Let's just use it as a backup plan." Chen Xiao said vaguely.
Now even Tang Ru was curious, but unfortunately Chen Xiao's mouth was as tight as a clam and he didn't want to say anything at this moment, so she had to give up.
Li Muye said: "The Dique is a very sensitive spirit animal, so there must not be too many people around."
Chen Xiao asked: "Is Dique similar to the long-armed white ape?"
Li Muye shook his head and said, "The long-armed white ape is only alert to the energy changes in the territory, but the Dique is more than that. First of all, its eyesight is extremely outstanding, and it will be discovered by the slightest disturbance. If the Dique was just an ordinary bird, it would run away. But unfortunately, the Dique is a spiritual beast, and it will pounce on you to attack. Secondly, the Dique is also very fast. The long-armed white ape is very fast, but the Dique is several times faster than the long-armed white ape!"
Tong Nuonuo gasped and said in horror: "Then how can we deal with it?!"
Chen Xiao asked, "Can you copy the evil cultivator's method of stunning the spirit beast and apply intoxicating drugs on the food of the Dique?"
Li Muye shook his head and said, "The Dique is not a carnivorous bird. It only eats fruits. The target range is too wide, and the medicine can only be applied on the surface and cannot be hidden inside. The Dique is extremely picky. It only eats fruits that are in good condition."
Chen Xiao bit his lip and fell silent.
Xi Yunting suddenly said at this time: "I have a magic weapon called the Golden Thread Cover. It can cover life and hide sounds. It should come in handy."
Tong Nuonuo's eyes lit up and he said, "If we can use the golden veil to sneak up to the side of the Dique, we can just pluck the tail feathers from its tail!"
Xi Yunting said: "You can hide in the golden thread cover and get close to Di Que, but once the attack is launched, Di Que will also be connected to the golden thread cover in disguise, and the hiding effect will disappear. At this time, no one can escape, and the whole army will be destroyed."
Li Muye frowned and said, "It's too dangerous to attack directly to get the tail feathers. I don't recommend doing this."
Chen Xiao looked at him and said, "Master Li, you are an expert. Can you think of a solution based on the habits of the Dique?"
Li Muye smiled bitterly and said, "It's hard to say. The incident with the long-armed white ape was just a coincidence. It happened to be the transition between the old and the new. The possibility of encountering such an opportunity again is too slim. To be honest, the Dique is too sensitive. It's better to think of other ways to deal with it than to deal with it based on its habits."
Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said, "No matter how much we talk here, it's just empty talk. Why don't we go to the wild garden and observe it with our own eyes before making a plan."
Everyone agreed with this plan, so the group prepared to go to the wild garden early the next morning.
The night before leaving, Chen Xiao called Tong Nuonuo away mysteriously.
Originally, Tong Nuonuo's fighting power had dropped significantly without Xiaoxun, so he was not needed to go. However, Chen Xiao insisted on having him go with him, saying that he needed his assistance.
Tong Nuonuo naturally didn't want to miss this excitement. In order to increase the success rate, the two of them were busy all night without sleeping.
