Chapter 328: Rumors Because Xu Hui made the array plate so quickly...
Because Xu Hui made the formation plates incredibly quickly and looked quite skilled, he made twelve in just half a day.
The sun gradually sets in the west, and its afterglow splashes onto the stalls, bringing a warm golden glow, but it does not take away the bustle of the market.
The Wenshang City is safe, and the market is open day and night. Those who can come here are all cultivators, and it is common for them to not sleep.
On the contrary, the market town would be even more lively at night, as most people who went out for training during the day would return to the city to rest at night.
But housing in the city is in short supply, and the prices for inns, caves, or renting houses are all relatively high.
Many people would rather choose to wander around the market, exchange for materials, and then continue to go out of the city to gain experience.
So it is bustling here from morning to night, twelve hours a day, which is very suitable for doing small business.
But Xu Hui was not doing this for money. Okay, she did need spirit stones, but from the twelve formation plates, she earned twelve thousand low-grade spirit stones.
It is almost half of the amount Jiang Yang robbed. Of course, this excludes the spoils such as formation plates, magic tools, elixirs, etc., and is only calculated based on the number of spirit stones.
But it was a lot, considering she only spent one afternoon.
I have to say that if you have a skill, you can make money anywhere, and make a lot of money.
She really doesn't need to worry about spirit stones anymore, so why not go and try the delicious food in the world of cultivation?
I haven't eaten anything since I opened my eyes. At most, I ate some spiritual fruits to satisfy my cravings. It's been more than half a year, and I really miss the world.
Uh, maybe this is the fireworks of the immortals?
In short, she wanted to rest and go to the restaurant to see if there was any news.
Isn’t it said that in ancient times, restaurants, teahouses and brothels were the best places to get information?
Although the world of cultivation is not ancient, it should be similar, right?
Xu Hui thought uncertainly, but her hands were not slow to move. She flipped the sign and said directly, "We're closed today. Please come early tomorrow."
Then she left leisurely. She had rented the stall for three days. If there was no news within three days, she would have to change her strategy.
If you go for a walk where people gather, you might meet them.
Whenever she meets someone, she can use her keen perception to find out the person who makes her feel uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, Xu Hui came to the Daya Tower she had inquired about. It was said that the spiritual beasts there were all killed on the spot and were very fresh. The chef was a rare spiritual chef, and every dish he cooked was filled with rich spiritual power.
In addition, the owner behind Daya Tower has a enlightenment tea tree. The tea they use is planted next to the enlightenment tea. Although it is not a real enlightenment tea, it has a hint of Taoism. After drinking it, the monks will experience the existence of Taoism.
Of course, this little bit of experience is nothing. When a cultivator practices, if he has a high level of comprehension, he can also comprehend the essence of Tao.
But Xu Huike didn't know what "Dao Yun" was. Even after reading a lot of information, she still had only a vague understanding of it. She wanted to drink this tea and see what Dao Yun was.
Daya Tower was indeed very popular. Every floor of the twelve-story building was filled with people. There were at least thirty-six tables on each floor surrounding the suspended stage in the middle. One side of the tables faced the stage so that one could clearly see the performances above, while the other side faced the windows, which opened to reveal the beautiful mountain scenery shrouded in clouds and mist.
This Daya Tower really knows how to do business. The seats are cleverly designed, and there is a large area in the middle that is a stage. No matter which floor you are on, you can see it clearly, as if the performance is happening right in front of you.
The mountain scenery on the other side is a perfect environment for monks to practice breathing exercises, which makes people feel relaxed and happy, and has a broad artistic conception.
If you want to be lively, open the left window. Not only can you watch the performance, but you can also hear the noise of people talking.
If you want quietness, you can open the window on the right. The breeze will bring the steaming mountain mist, and with a cup of Taoist tea, you will feel as if you are on the top of the mountains, leisurely and refreshing.
Xu Hui took a sip and was filled with fragrance, sweet aftertaste, and the faint scent of cedar, which made people feel as if they could smell the green mountains and clouds dancing in the wind.
Delicious!
She drank it all in one gulp and couldn't help but sigh that it was worth the price of six thousand low-grade spirit stones for a small pot.
At the same time, Xu Hui also knew what Dao Yun was. It was a mysterious feeling that always surrounded her when she was practicing.
This feeling allowed her to understand the exercises and integrate them with nature, speeding up her practice with every breath.
Yes, she didn't expect that she could always feel the enlightenment of Taoism, which was said to be rare. No wonder she felt that the more she practiced, the faster she absorbed spiritual power. Even when she reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, the amount of spiritual power required was more than ten times that of the Qi Refining Stage, but she still quickly reached the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.
It was not only because she was re-cultivating, but also because she seemed to be favored by Dao Yun, and she was gaining insights almost all the time.
God must be too good to her, which made her feel a little inflated. Could it be that she was the daughter of destiny, the 'time-traveling protagonist'?
Of course, this is a joke. Xu Hui was a cannon fodder in her previous life. There is no reason why she can become the protagonist after traveling through time.
And there is nothing good about the protagonist. He has a lot of ups and downs in his life. He encounters dangers and strange things that others will never encounter in their lifetime. It is exciting, but also very tiring.
With all kinds of thoughts swirling in her mind, Xu Hui waited for the spirit beast meat and spirit vegetables to be served while listening carefully to the conversation below.
You can't hear it, because they must have closed the windows. All you can hear is some idle chatter.
But there were also some gossips during the chat, especially the recent excitement in Wenshang City.
After listening for a while, Xu Hui heard various legends about Wei Mubai, some reliable and some not.
Some people also gossiped, saying that the two young ladies of the Wen family had their eyes on Wei Mubai, and that two girls were pursuing one boy.
Xu Hui listened carefully with interest, and then heard a big drama of rich family gossip.
A large family like the Wen family has complex internal forces, and when faced with the hurdle of choosing a new heir, accidents are constant.
This generation of the Wen family is full of talented people, and there are six people who are qualified to compete for the position of young master.
Wen Moan, whom I had met before in Wenxin Book Tower, was one of them. He had a single fire spiritual root, was thirty-six years old, had reached the late Jindan stage, and was a third-level formation master.
At this age, he has such cultivation. At the same time, his formation level is among the top three among his peers, although his talent is not the best.
In short, his strength is very average, not any one of them is the most outstanding, but when combined, he can squeeze into the second place.
He also has a younger sister, Wen Moxin, who also has a single spiritual root and fully supports him.
In addition, he was friendly and strategic, and he gathered a group of young disciples to work for him, and he had a place in the Wen family.
The person who ranked ahead of him was Wen Huaiyu, who had an extraordinary talent for cultivation and was two years younger than Wen Moan. He had been planning to advance to the Nascent Soul stage, but the appearance of the fifth-grade Tianxiang Lotus made him postpone this plan.
He planned to wait until the Shenggu Pill was refined before advancing. As the first among the younger generation of the Wen family, he was naturally qualified to get one.
His advantage is that he has the highest martial arts value, which allows him to occupy a place in the strength competition among the young masters of aristocratic families, so he has a lot of support and followers in the Wen family.
Ranked third is Wen Huaixiang, she is Wen Huaiyu's cousin, their grandfathers are brothers. Her cultivation is in the middle stage of the Golden Core. Because of her dual spiritual roots of fire and wood, her speed after the Nascent Soul stage will be slower than that of a single spiritual root, so her strength may not be enough for her to compete for the position of young master.
But she is the most talented formation master of this generation in the Wen family. She has reached level four at such a young age. In the Wen family, this is an absolute advantage.
She also has a younger sister named Wen Huailan, who has a single wood spiritual root. She is the other female protagonist in the drama of two women competing for one man with Wen Mosin.
She is the same age as Wen Moxin, both have single spiritual roots, similar personalities and temperaments, and have disliked each other since childhood.
In addition, their older brothers and sisters are competing for the position of young master, so there are naturally more conflicts.
It's almost to the point where you have to fight for whatever you like, regardless of whether I like it or not, or want it or not.
So as soon as Wen Moxin showed interest in Wei Mubai, Wen Huailan immediately followed suit and started pursuing him.
Women in the world of cultivation are not only bold but also passionate in their pursuit of their lovers.
They were very high-profile, and the whole Wenshang City knew about it. Some people even started a bet on who would successfully marry the handsome man in the end.
Among them, the probability of success for the two of them is 50-50, but the odds of Wei Mubai rejecting them are as high as a staggering 1:10. It seems that no one thinks they can succeed.
Why?
Xu Hui was curious. Wen Huailan didn't know, but she had seen Wen Moxin. She was not only beautiful, but also lively and charming. Her every move exuded a cheerful and seductive charm. When Xu Hui saw her, she thought she was very cute and wanted to get close to her.
Wei Mubai looked like a sickly person at first glance. Normally, such a person would rarely refuse such a playful and cute girl.
Is there some hidden secret?
As expected, some people, not knowing the reason, asked, "They are all legitimate daughters of the Wen family, with good spiritual roots and aptitude, so why can't they succeed?"
"It is said that Wei Mubai had a fiancée."
"Huh? Really? What kind of person would be lucky enough to become the fiancée of a sixth-rank alchemist?" The female cultivator next to her exclaimed in envy.
If she had a fiancé like this, she would never lack elixirs in her life.
"There's no point in being envious. I heard that Wei Mubai loves his fiancée deeply, and they even have a heavenly engagement. But his fiancée doesn't love him anymore and has fallen in love with someone else, so she asked to cancel the engagement."
"Really? And then?"
"Then, Wei Mubai couldn't bear to see his fiancée sad, so he took the initiative to dissolve the marriage. He bore most of the backlash from the heavens, causing severe damage to his soul. That's why he's so sickly and pale."
"Really? He's so infatuated. I really don't know what his fiancée is thinking. She's leaving such a good fiancé behind and falling in love with someone else. What a pity."
"It is said that this marriage was arranged for another purpose. Wei Mubai is a gentleman and did not want to force it, so he canceled it."
"So that's how it is. If he still loves that woman, he definitely won't be with the Wen sisters."
"That's right. Wei Mubai rejected the Wen sisters. He was so resolute that he didn't give them any chance at all."
"Then why is there still a bet?"
"I don't know."
“…”
Hearing this, Xu Hui's heart was pounding. His fiancée, who had broken off the Heavenly Dao Contract and suffered backlash from her soul, was injured...could he be talking about her?
No, no, how could she have the ability to marry such a gifted man!
